[The face that appears on the feed from the omni-tool is certainly alien, and distinctly female to those who actually know her race. But she certainly doesn’t look impressed in the slightest, of anything she looks mildly bored with the entire scenario.]

So, I’m not sure if everyone has lost their minds since I was last to Omega, but I’ve had about six humans ask me what I was. Now I know that all of you have only been acquainted with turians for thirty years, but if you’re going to be part of the galaxy you should figure out what a turian is, there’s only twenty billion of us in the galaxy.

So if anyone else has stupid questions to ask me, I’ll be in Afterlife having a drink and trying to enjoy the dancers.

[She’ll pause for a moment and think, before addressing the recording again.]

Also, can someone kindly explain why I’m on Omega when I should be on Illium? Never wanted to be on this rubble heap again, and it only looks like it’s become more degraded since my last charming visit.

[OOC: For those who are in and around Afterlife she'll be hanging out there either having a drink or out near the front having a smoke. Feel free to chat her up.]

How are you with omni-tools?

Re: [video]

[spinelessdecoder]

Depends on the model and what you're running as the operating system. But that's where I started was on omni-tools, so I'd say I'm fairly accomplished. Did some work on omni-blades, not my finest work but I worked out some glitches.

Re: [video]

[motivationalspeaker]

I think anything you can do would be of benefit. All of my systems are three years outdated.

Re: [video]

[spinelessdecoder]

If it's three years outdated I'll have to do some serious work with it. Hopefully if you're STG they're going to give you quality to begin with, it'll help me greatly.

I'll have a look at it when I can, do you know the manufacturer?

Re: [video]

[motivationalspeaker]

Sirta Foundation. It's never given me problems, it's just not compatible with a lot of programs now.

Re: [video]

[spinelessdecoder]

That's not surprising then, about two years ago they completely removed the operating system you're using and updated to a different kind of runtime coding. It's easy enough to fix, but I'll have to change some of your hardware to compensate for the cool-down time. Make it run a little faster overall.

Re: [video]

[motivationalspeaker]

I see. No wonder nothing's functioning properly.

How much would something like that cost to upgrade? I'm not about to ask you to do this for me for free.

Re: [video]

[spinelessdecoder]

My ball park guess is about a hundred credits for everything, if you'd go to someone else they'd probably charge you around 300 which you'd be better off to buy a new on in that case. It might be cheaper than 100 if I don't need to change the parts. It'd be about 40 then.

Re: [video]

[motivationalspeaker]

That sounds more than reasonable to me. I'm not sitting on a ton of credits at the moment, but I can afford that much.

Re: [video]

[spinelessdecoder]

I don't think either of us are. I have enough on the credit chit I came with to be comfortable but it's meagre compared to what I had on Illium.

Re: [video]

[motivationalspeaker]

I can imagine. I've got enough for a couple months. It'll be tight, but I can eat.

If we're stuck here indefinitely, I'll have to find work.

Re: [video]

[spinelessdecoder]

There's lots of jobs here for ex-STG, even if you're currently STG. Think of it as a very strange sabbatical if the ethics bother you.

I'm sure there are people that would pay a lot of good money for a good infiltrator.

Re: [video]

[motivationalspeaker]

I don't like it, but it may be my only good option. I'm going to have to find out more about this place if I'm going to be advertising myself.

Re: [video]

[spinelessdecoder]

I'd say go freelance and stay out of the merc bands if you're going as an infiltrator. Omega is...Omega. It's hard to describe how to live here outside of that it's cut throat and every man for themselves.

Re: [video]

[motivationalspeaker]

I'm not about to join up with any mercenaries. Freelance it is, then. As soon as I learn my way around here, at least.

Re: [video]

[spinelessdecoder]

You can probably download a map, although it'll only give you about half of what's actually here. I'll finish up here and meet you somewhere if you want me to have a look at that omni-tool.

Re: [video]

[motivationalspeaker]

I'll see about downloading a map. You know this place better than I do, is there anywhere in particular you'd like to meet up?

Re: [video]

[spinelessdecoder]

Meet me near Afterlife, beside the shuttle pad there. I'll likely stand out since there doesn't seem to be very many female turians around.

Re: [video]

[motivationalspeaker]

Understood, I'll be there shortly.

[She's easy to find, she's the turian having a smoke near the railing, keeping out of the way of a few batarians that are conversing in the corner.]

Re: [action]

[motivationalspeaker]

[that and female turians are apparently about as rare as female salarians good lord bioware. Good old Kirrahe here casually makes his way over after spotting her]

I hope I didn't keep you waiting long.

Re: [action]

[spinelessdecoder]

[Yeah it's like they're hidden in tunnels or something, but Pax will shake her head at Kirrahe's words.]

Not long at all, needed to get out of that bar anyway.

Re: [action]

[motivationalspeaker]

It doesn't look like the most welcoming sort of place.

[he's just going to casually lean against this railing here like a boss]

Re: [action]

[spinelessdecoder]

[Hells yeah the two of them will just lean on that railing and look damn cool.]

Been in worse, don't go to any of the bars in the wards unless it's run by a gang you're familiar with. Good way to end up with a bullet in your chest.

Re: [action]

[motivationalspeaker]

[coolest motherfuckers is SPACE]

I'm not planning on spending much time in bars at all, if I can help it. If it ever becomes necessary, I can get along well enough undetected.
