[ Hey what's up Omega, York is in the house. The last week and a half has been a bit of a rough adjustment, but hey, it's still better than living under the tyrannical reign of an unstable AI. Besides, York is good at adapting. She's pretty sure she would've gone crazy by now if she weren't. ]

Good morning, Omega. How's life treatin' all of you poor suckers? Hopefully you're, y'know, not dead by now.

[ She's relaxed, flippant as always, but seriously. Somebody has to have died by now. ]

For those of you I haven't met, you can call me York. I'm sure you've all shacked up someplace by now -- and if you haven't, I'd get on that, 'cause I hear the streets aren't the coziest place to hole up for the night. Anyway, in case you haven't noticed by now, this isn't exactly the friendliest place. Lockin' your doors at night might not be enough to keep you and all your stuff safe. Dunno if you noticed, but the basic security on these places is a little flimsy.

But hey, security is kinda what I do. And if you're lookin' to sleep a little easier at night, I can probably help you out. Y'know, beef up your security a little, set up a system that any enterprising fifteen-year-old with an omni-tool can't break. Can't exactly do it for free, but if you're a little short on credits, I'm sure we can work somethin' out.

Eh, I'm good. You gotta keep a few in the chamber.

[ sorry garrus york is the worst friend ]

So hey, since I'm not crazy anymore, guess you don't have to worry so much about me flyin' off the handle.

[calibrating]

See, you weren't crazy for a couple of seconds there, and then you went ahead and said that.

Now I just think you're crazy again.

[neverknocks]

Ah, you're just a tough crowd. It's like you're already convinced I'm a criminal. I'm hurt, Garrus.

[calibrating]

Just think of it as a challenge to convince me otherwise.

[neverknocks]

[ She rolls her eyes exaggeratedly at Garrus, though it looks like it's mostly in good humor. ]

Ah, to hell with you, man. Like I've gotta prove anything to you. I'm an absolute saint. Just ask my buddy Wash.

[ okay even York can't hold a straight face for that long, and she can't help but grin ]

[calibrating]

Wash, huh? Maybe I will.

[Garrus will match the grin with one of his own, though. He always appreciates some banter!]

So, did you get any business yet?

[neverknocks]

On second thought, I don't know if I need you two buddyin' up after all.

[ Garrus plus Wash? Ye gods, it'd be like double-time henpecking. Somehow she doesn't doubt they'd get along. ]

Some, some. Y'know, still gettin' off the ground and everything. Paranoia's great for the economy, though, I gotta tell ya.

[calibrating]

You'll get no shortage of that around here.

Be careful, though-- the ones that are really paranoid will probably drill you to make sure you're not selling them false services.

[neverknocks]

Guess it's a good thing I'm legit then, huh?

[ And she is! She is selling actual security, of course. And pretty decent, for the price. She just might have left in a way or two for her to exploit it later. Sshhhh. ]

[calibrating]

Good thing, yeah.

Speaking of, let me know if you're ever up for stress testing any of your systems.

[neverknocks]

[ man Garrus what's a girl gotta do to get you to trust her

York cocks an eyebrow at him inquisitively, maybe a little skeptically. ]

Stress testing?

[calibrating]

[He gives a little shrug]

I get bored easily.

[neverknocks]

Somebody needs a hobby. Or a job.

[ She laughs, though, shrugging easily. ]

Hell, why not. Knock yourself out, man.

[calibrating]

Maybe my hobby and my job are the same thing?

It's important to enjoy your work, you know.

[neverknocks]

Hey, you don't need to tell me. I've been doin' this since long before the military. And I guess I don't mind the help. It would be useful to know where the weak spots are, y'know?

[calibrating]

Sounds good to me.

I'll be sure not to embarrass you too much.
