[Salarians are far from uncommon on Omega. This one, however, is a new face around these parts. The only clue to his current location thus far is the dingy looking wall behind him. Could be anywhere, the walls all look like shit.

Considering the slight hint of irritation in his voice, it's very likely that this salarian is so far not enjoying his stay here.]

Judging by what I've heard, it would seem that I'm not the only one who has no idea why they've arrived on this station. I also seem to have lost track of a small group of salarians. The locals so far have been less than helpful. If anyone has more information regarding either situation, I'd certainly like to hear it.

[he pauses for a moment and takes a quick glance around. Satisfied with whatever he finds (that being nothing), he turns his attention back to his omni-tool]

My name is Kirrahe. Regretfully, for the time being the only thing I have to offer in exchange for information is my gratitude.

[after a quick nod, he cuts the feed.]

[[ooc: in reality he hasn't even wormed his way out of the docking bay yet. Action tags are welcome to anyone who feels like stumbling across a salarian /o/]]

[Okay, even Liara has to try not to have her mind blown by that because Virmire seems like another lifetime ago.]

For me that was three years ago nearly four, approximately. So this Omega is in the future for you, it's in my near past for me.

[Forgive Kirrahe if he just stares at you with buggy frog eyes for a couple seconds

aaand then checks his omni-tool for the DATE because um that's whack yo

and he glances between it and Liara a couple times hmmmm]

...Oh. I see.

[Yeah salarians and their creepy ability to process things quickly.]

I admit, I'm... at something of a loss.

It's a bit shocking, even I found it a little jarring and I wasn't jumping years.

[She'll try to be consoling about the entire thing, she knows this is hard on him. It was hard on her, but she's glad he can process things faster than most.]

If there's anything I can do to help, just ask.

[All things considered, he at least seems to be taking it all pretty well. Probably comes with all that STG training.]

Three years is a long time. I'm sure there have been significant changes since then?

[WELL, it's a long time for a salarian. Maybe not an asari. Either way.]

Yes, well, we're currently in an all out war with the Reapers. For the most part the salarians are staying out of it after Shepard cured the genophage to get the krogan to assist the turians in protecting Palaven. Thessia has fallen to the Reapers and Earth is their next big target, although they've already started their assault there.

[She lets that sink in, wondering what questions he'll ask next. It was a lot of information to throw at someone. Thankfully he was a salarian.]

[He sure is a salarian but hooooly shit he kind of does need to pause and rub his over sized frog forehead for a couple seconds. That's kind of a lot to take in all at once, even for a salarian.]

And while all this is going on, we're stuck here for some unexplained reason?

Yes, the relay seems to have been deactivated so we can't leave the system. The only time it activates is to bring more people here. I have a theory on that but it makes little sense outside of the Reapers not being as technologically perfect as they like to claim to be.

I'm sorry about this, Majo-Captain. It is a lot to have thrown at you at once. Anyone else and I think they would panic.

It is overwhelming, but I tend to find that panicking is counter productive.

[plus he's trained not to so there's that]

It is, do you have any questions yet?

More than I can currently keep track of, and none that likely should be discussed in public.

I don't know too much about our circumstances but should you have questions I could forward you my contact information.

I would appreciate that, doctor.

[So she'll bump that over or whatever it is that technology does in the future. So he'll have a way to contact her on a secure channel.]

Hopefully none of us will be here very long.

[yay thanks blue lady]

Yes, hopefully. Otherwise I image I'll be spending quite a bit of time catching up on three years worth of news.

I'm sure that Shepard could fill you in. Like I said, I know you as Major Kirrahe, you were promoted after your service on Virmire but as for more information I can give you more but not here.

Yes, I wouldn't ask you to here. I'll have to see what I can find out from Shepard.

Shepard you can likely find at the Afterlife bar, mid-level. The other Shepard can be reached at this address if you need. As for why there are two of them...even I don't understand that much.

[salarian brow arch activate]

I... see. What's the difference? Between Shepards, that is.

Gender mostly, they also seem to have...contrasting ideas on dealing with issues. I'm currently residing with the female Shepard, the male is with a few of the other Normandy crew members.

It's...a headache.

I can imagine. I suppose it's just something else to get used to around here.

There will be more than a few things to adjust to, sadly. Hopefully it won't be too harsh an adjustment.

I'll make it work. I don't exactly have any other choice.

No, none of us do. We will just have to make the best of the situation we've found ourselves in.

I don't expect it to be easy, but it's not impossible.

[he gives her a small, almost amused shrug]

Mostly a point of establishing dominance, I guess.

Or at the very least some chain of command.

[She'll smile though, despite it all.]

I'm sure you'll find a niche for yourself, Captain.
