...You’re all still here. Great.

[ Aria’s not in a much better mood than she was the other day, but at least this time she’s not snarling at everyone in sight. Mostly. ]

Well. As long as you’re stuck here, then you’re gonna make yourselves useful. You want to eat? Go clear out some debris. Want somewhere to live? Go make repairs. Half of Omega is a smoking wreck. Fix it.

But if you want anything at all, you’ll to have to pay for protection. Pay me, and maybe you won’t get your head chopped off by a krogan tomorrow.

Or maybe you will. I don’t really care.

There is one rule on Omega. What I say goes.

Don’t fuck with Aria.

[Tim feigns unease when he responds. He's not actually intimidated by this blue alien woman at all, but best to play up the rich-kid stereotype.]

I'm pretty new to this space thing, but I'm better with tech than I am with manual labour. [Poor precious flower doesn't want to get his hands dirty. Or, er, Tim Drake won't be. Besides, he's good with computers and it'll make it easier for him to salvage parts and maybe some programs...] Is there somewhere I could help with computer repairs?

[Well, this is more useful than the other chatter on the open channels. Lyall actually replies to this one, with a question.]

Good day, ma'am. My name is Professor Randolph Lyall, how do you do.

[The tone is not that of a question, but of a polite sort of comment, like "hello". Regardless, he continues without leaving much time to reply, anyway.]

I would be glad to offer assistance in reconstruction in return for board and lodging, but I'm afraid I'm from a very long-distant time, and the technology here is unfamiliar to me. If I work here, I will need some instruction on the use of equipment. Will you or someone in your employ be providing this?

I don't suppose you have a payment plan for those of us that are a little .. short on credits right now?

[chinhands.

yes. he's serious.

hi aria.]

Certainly, ma'am. [Sandoval will always know what side his bread is buttered on.]

I would assume some areas in need of repairs are safer than others. The bigger the risk, the higher the reward.

H-Hey! Wait! Protection? What's that supposed to mean? Some of us can protect ourselves!

I can understand working for money, but some of us don't need to pay to be protected.

You know, most governments call that a 'tax'. You might make a few more friends if you at least pretended you weren't extorting the hell out of us.
