As if the place didn't smell bad enough already without fresh water.

[Yo, Omega. Have Commander Shepard, the one with a Y chromosome, holding a pyjak firmly by the tail. The little bastard squirms and flails, but Shepard just keeps on holding it tightly.]

Aria, if you're listening, your rock has really gone downhill lately. [So understated in the most deadpan voice ever.]

Pretty soon we'll all be drinking our own recycled waste and bunking with pyjaks.

[And then he just tosses the creature off-screen. There's a loud noise as the poor devil probably lands amidst some crates and scurries off. Shepard switches his omni-tool to a private channel, so unless you're one of the Normanderps, you're not really going to see anything but static.]

[Private to Normandy crew//unhackable (unless you're some badass AI probably)]

I need a head count and a status update. Also, if anybody's had any luck on finding a shuttle out of here, drinks are on me.

I'm always open to suggestions.

[all good commanders are, yo. that's what makes them good commanders.]

We could do it the honest way, take a few months to save credits, pool our resources and purchase the equipment we need. It's potentially the safest way to go about it, but it's also the most time consuming. Given the nature of this place, I'd prefer to be prepared sooner rather than later.

Option two, intercept merchant shipments. There won't be any more imports from off station, the shops will have limited supplies. This option would be tricky mostly because it would rely heavily on those with infiltration skills, and I don't know any infiltrators besides myself here. I don't like the idea of stealing from merchants, but seeing as it's a case of us acquiring weapons over the mercenaries, it's something I'd be willing to do.

Option three would be to locate and raid mercenary weapon caches. Obviously not safe, we'd likely become targets if they find out who we are, but it's a chance to knock them down a few pegs.

[Yes, Shepard likes those second two options. He nods as he listens and folds his arms over his chest as he thinks for a moment.]

Let me handle option three. I can get a team together. As for option two, I know a certain thief that might be able to help you out on that.

[Oh good because as much of a boyscout as kirrahe is, the idea of working shitty jobs for a few months is not appealing]

A thief? That would be ideal, actually.

[yeah and Shepard isn't a boyscout at all, so there's no moral quandary here.]

I'll make sure she gets in touch with you.

[omg shep ur so bad.]

Understood, I'll look forward to it. I'll see about gathering information on the mercenaries for you.

Feel free to call for backup if you need it. I'll add you to the crew's filter.

[you know who would pee their pants if they heard that line? Conrad. Pee everywhere.

Kirrahe is less of a toolbox than Conrad, so he'll just give Shepard a nod and not pee his pants]

Got it. Hopefully backup won't be necessary, but I appreciate it.

[Conrad pisses himself every time Shepard even looks his way. He's like a super-excited puppy that can't hold it in.]

[Shep starts to put his weapons back in place.]

Keep me posted. I should go.

[which is how he ends pretty much every convo, you know]

[And Kirrahe will do the same. Good pow wow, Shep]

I won't keep you. I've got work to get back to myself.
