@everyone | dated to when the creatures started showing up

Hey, so - head's up. Not sure what's going on here, but if anyone sees a weird looking animal, four legs, two little arms coming out of the chest?

Watch your wallet.

I'm serious. Those things steal your credits - or whatever you're using as currency here. No clue how they do it. I mean, they're not dangerous, they're just irritating.

They're from our neck of the universe. I think humans call them "shifty-looking cows".

That's it. PSA from the milky way.

Doesn't ring a bell. But that doesn't matter much. I am from Earth, from Westeros, the North, but that means nothing to anyone I've ever met here, even if they're also from Earth. I've never heard of the lands they come from, like America.

What do your people value most?

[thearchangel]

I know Earth. Haven't been there, but I'm familiar. Been to Earth's moon though.

Yeah, that... depends on who you're asking. Military strength, service to our people, that's the usual answer from most turians.

[northerndragon]

That isn't a bad thing to value.

My people, we value those things, and we value bravery, but more than anything, we prize keeping your oaths.

[thearchangel]

Also not a bad thing to value. Personally, yeah, I agree, keeping your promises is damned important.

[northerndragon]

Then it might be that your people would not be strange to me.

What led you to Earth's moon?

[thearchangel]

As comforting a thought that is, I won't blame you if you have to look twice at me if we ever meet. We're uh. Definitely nonhuman.

My commander. She got a priority mission to investigate something weird going on there... And where she goes, I go.

[northerndragon]

There is a shark about. Where I come from, they have to stay under the water to live. Not where the shark comes from, I'll warrant, but I mean to say that there is more than one thing here that I would look twice at.

Did the two of you succeed in your quest? Last time I looked into something strange, I found an army of dead men.

[thearchangel]

Ah, yeah, I met that guy too. Kind of thought he was something from my universe for a second.

We did yeah. Less shooting than we expected, so win-win.

What is it about mystery missions that make them end in walking corpses?

[northerndragon]

Is this a more common thing than I've understood it to be?

[thearchangel]

It is for us, for some reason.

Every other mission, it seems like we're swarming in some kind of reanimated dead guy.
