Mass Effect: Genesis

[Salzella]

Thiyan stared at the Geth, looking utterly alien despite it's humanoid posture of surrender. A Geth that spoke? That acted alone?

 

He kept his Viper rifle trained on it's flashlight head anyway. You couldn't trust machines, their thought process was completely different; no way of telling if they were lying, just looking for an opportunity to shoot you in the back.

 

"Why have you come here?" Tuhrop asked.

 

"And how is it that you're able to speak, and act alone?" Thiyan added. "I have never heard of a Geth with any sort of autonomy".

 

He kept his rifle loaded and aimed.

[Cyborg Ninja]

"Will this work?"

 

Chiron looked over at Tom and nodded his head. He set the asari down and injected her in the left arm with it.

 

"It won't get rid of the drug, but it should give us more time. Once we make it back to my station, I can begin to work on her."

 

He looked over at Frank, and gave him a slight nod.

 

"My apologies for being rude, but this asari comes first. You seem knowledgeable in what she's taken. You're more than welcome to assist me once we get aboard the Valkyrie," Chiron said.

__________________________________________

 

"Why have you come here?"

 

"I wish to know more about Project Genesis. I was unable to hack into the files," Rogue replied.

 

Rogue used terms like "I" and "Me" as oppose to correctly saying "We" and "Us". Organics used terms like "I" all of the time. It would be much easier for them if Rogue were to do the same, so it would do that.

"And how is it that you're able to speak, and act alone?" Thiyan added. "I have never heard of a Geth with any sort of autonomy".

 

"I am not like most Geth. I was designed to be able to function on my own. This allows me to speak with you."

 

Rogue turned its attention back on the Turian.

 

"Turian, I believe you have the files, or a better copy than what I received. If I could take a look at the files you have, we may both be able to learn more about Genesis."

[Salzella]

"Turian, I believe you have the files, or a better copy than what I received. If I could take a look at the files you have, we may both be able to learn more about Genesis."

 

Thiyan looked at the Turian captain.

 

"Don't. You can't. It's a Geth! They've been fighting organics since they emerged as a civilisation, they attacked the citadel."

 

Thiyan chambered a round in his rifle, and brought it to bear on the Geth.

[Cyborg Ninja]

"Don't. You can't. It's a Geth! They've been fighting organics since they emerged as a civilisation, they attacked the citadel."

 

Rogue looked over at the drell. It did not fear the sniper rifle that was pointed at its head. The turian was the authority figure here, and his weapon was lowered. Rogue was certain the drell would not fire unless the turian said so. Rogue looked over at the turian.

 

"The geth only attacked the quarians because they wished to wipe the geth out. I believe you would refer to this as self defense. I also did not participate in the attack on the citadel."

 

Rogue looked back to the drell. Rogue believed he had a right to distrusting.

 

"You have nothing to fear drell. The geth that attacked the citadel now share the true geth's beliefs. The true geth do not wish to harm organics."

[Tysyacha]

UNDERWORLD CANTINA, OMEGA

 

Flashes. Black and red. Simultaneous heat and cold. Dizzy. So dizzy...

 

Quirinius V'tala groaned and slowly opened her gum-encrusted eyes. Her head was pounding like a thousand pneumatic riveters trying to drill for deposits in a platinum mine. Sweat was glistening in all of her pores, and her normally smooth and dry skin now felt positively amphibious. What was happening? The Underworld Cantina and its fleeing patrons swam in a blurry haze all around her. What was happening? Could she even be hallucinating?

 

"Ugggghhhh..." The asari inclined her winged head slightly upward. "Where...where am I?" She had dim memories of a chess tournament, and of losing. All the rest of her life had become an unrecognizable blur.

[DrPhil2501]

"I wish to know more about Project Genesis. I was unable to hack into the files,"

 

Tuhrop blinked. It knows about the Cerberus Vessel. And the only way this mobile platform Geth could know about the data, then it would have to have been onboard the vessel during or after the salvage.

 

"You have nothing to fear drell. The geth that attacked the citadel now share the true geth's beliefs. The true geth do not wish to harm organics."

 

"Are you saying there are two factions of geth out there?" Tuhrop pressed on. Tuhrop suddenly held onto his side, and began coughing blood. "<cough> sorry. Had a little encounter with a maniac wielding a sniper rifle. I need to get to the medbay."

 

He stood by and stared at the Geth. He was not sure how to deal with it. Or, more of a case of whether to believe it. They didnt have the best reputation around the galaxy.

 

"Send our "guest" to the brig... We'll deal with it later." he stopped for a minute. "Oh yeah, and we may want to get airborn as soon as the others arive. I dont want that assassin knocking on our door any time soon."

 

_________________________________________________________

 

"My apologies for being rude, but this asari comes first. You seem knowledgeable in what she's taken. You're more than welcome to assist me once we get aboard the Valkyrie,"

 

"C'mon." Tom urged. "Hopefully the epinephrim will give us enough time to deliver her to the medbay for proper treatment."

 

And so they left the club, with Chiron holding the Asari girl and the mysterious "information broker" following behind. Incase things did not work out with the Broker Tuhrop had visited, there was always no harm with a second opinion.

 

They soon arived at the docking bay. Civilians passed by, exchanging strange glaces at them. Amongst the many starships they ran by, they soon arived at the sight of light freighter starship - with the name "Valkerie" printed on the outer shell. They arived at the airlock door - they could see it was under lockdown. Tom switched on his omni-tool and accessed the cellular network.

 

He gave Thiyan a call. "Thiyan, this is Tom. We have an emergency, and we would really really love it if you could open the door for us. Uhh... please?"

[Salzella]

"You have nothing to fear drell. The geth that attacked the citadel now share the true geth's beliefs. The true geth do not wish to harm organics."

 

Thiyan hesitated, then slowly lowered his rifle. He listened to the next exchange, then nodded, and was going to take the Geth to the brig as Tuhrop commanded, but his pager beeped.

 

"Thiyan, this is Tom. We have an emergency, and we would really really love it if you could open the door for us. Uhh... please?"

 

Thiyan smiled a small smile and replied "As good as done". He jogged to the door control, and opened it. The door hissed open, and in came Tom Ulrich, accompanied by several others, including an asari and a human. Thiyan stared then raised an eyebrow at Ulrich.

 

"Our crew will soon be the most diverse in the galaxy. First a solo Geth, now an asari and another human!" He grinned, slighly humourlessly. This trip was getting much more complicated than he had hoped.

[Cyborg Ninja]

Chiron waited patiently at the door for Thiyan to come and open it. He walked through the doors and greeted Thiyan with a slight nod. He needed to to get this asari to the med bay. What stood behind Thiyan though, did shock him.

____________________

 

Rogue followed after Thiyan, as he was to take Rogue to the brig. It was clear the turian didn't trust the geth, but Rogue wasn't dead either. Rogue looked down at the asari the krogan was holding. It scanned the asari with its omni-tool.

 

"Sedative: 50% muscicide, 40% atropine." Rogue stated.

________________________

 

Chiron was shocked Turhop had a geth aboard, let alone the fact that it could talk. However he didn't have to time for this. He moved past the others and ran to the med bay. He placed the asari down, and began to work on her.

_________________________

 

"Drell:Thiyan, I believe your superior requested you escort me to the brig," Rogue stated.

[Tysyacha]

MEDBAY ABOARD THE VALKYRIE

 

Quirinius V'tala felt chemicals, warm and soothing, flowing into her limp body. She still wasn't sure where she was, or who was presently treating her. Nonetheless, she considered it an honest-to-goddess miracle that anyone had been available to counteract the muscle-destroying toxins coursing through her bloodstream. Opening her eyes, they came to focus on a krogan.

 

"Father?" she asked faintly, coughing a bit. "Am I...is this the...am I dead?"

[Master_Archon]

"Our crew will soon be the most diverse in the galaxy. First a solo Geth, now a black Asari!"

 

((Sorry Salzella, but the black asari you speak of is Rex's character, Selia, who is already an established crewmember aboard the ship, thus your character would know her. Tysy's character is a normally pigmented asari - from what I understand - just thought I'd let you know so you could make the proper adjustments, etc.))

 

Kallic had finished his shopping for the day and was currently on his way out of the markets when he heard a crackle come over his Omni-Tool's pager interface.

 

"'I need you here. Underworld Cantina, near the entrance.'" Was the message he'd intercepted from his crewmate Tom, it appeared outbound for another of his crewmates, Chiron. Kallic may get sucked up into his own world sometimes, but he was always keeping a watchful eye on his comrades and he could be counted on in any situation.

 

"Mmm, intriguing, Tom needing Chiron's assistance could mean trouble, should hurry and see if they need help," Kallic surmised to himself, wading through the market he spotted Selia and approached her, surprisingly she wasn't in trouble.

 

"Received message from friend-Tom, suggest getting to the ship in case we're in need of a quick takeoff Selia, could be trouble not caused by you," Kallic suggested to the black pigmented asari engineer before heading off towards the Underworld Cantina. Once at the location however, Kallic found that nobody was there. The salarian surveyed the area for any indication as to what had happened though he only came across a discarded syringe, using his Omni-Tool he scanned it for any sign as to what it was, and thus giving him the answer to "Why was it there?"

 

"Hmm, muscicide highly evident, bad-cheap kind too, atropixenine traces too, would say fifty-forty split. Accounts for ninety percent of the dosage, what other ten?" He mused for a bit before activating his genetic instruments. "Traces of asari DNA, hm, wouldn't explain who it was; not Selia, just saw her, but would say why Tom needed Chiron. Probably back at ship, might need to get back myself before they leave me....Again." Kallic shook his head and hoisted his bought supplies, placing the syringe in a secure place he headed for the docks.

 

______

Kallic got to the 'Valkyrie' to find the door ajar - in effect, that is - he must not have been too far behind the others. The Salarian entered the vessel posthaste and headed for the engineering bay where he could drop off his supplies in his above study and scan the syringe more thoroughly.

 

Unfortunately his efforts in deducing the last ten percent were unfruitful, so he proceeded to head to the medbay where he could use some of Chiron's equipment and even get some of his help. Kallic wasn't the proud sort, he knew when he could use assistance, even from a Krogan doctor; not only that but he trusted in his friend's expertise. Upon arriving, however, he found a surprise, an Asari, most likely the one who used the syringe in question.

 

Kallic approached Chiron from behind, noticing the Asari stir.

 

"Father?" The Asari croaked, coughing as she came-to. "Am I...is this the...am I dead?"

 

"Not quite," Kallic said flatly moving up to the side of the medbay table the Asari lay on. "And I've never known Chiron to have children, none he's spoken of at least, he's certainly fatherly enough though. Perhaps illegitimates might come to mind, but haven't known Chiron for "getting around" either."

 

Kallic grinned slightly in his cold amphibious way before turning his attention to Chiron, handing him the syringe. "Found it at the scene, nice loud traces of Asari DNA on it, assume it's hers, know what was in it, but worried, ten percent is unaccounted for, can't get a fix on it with regular scans; own Omni-Tool's genetic instruments on the blink, can't work my study's instruments without it working either, need your equipment, and most definitely your skills, Chiron."

 

"But never know, might just be water for all we know," he continued, glancing down at the Asari on the table. "Can never be too careful, though."

 

Kallic turned back to the Asari with a calculating gaze, scanning over her body with his Omni-Tool then asked plainly, "What happened to her anyways? Looked like firefight at the Cantina, must assume it happened because of her. Thought there was chess tournament there - was planning on joining when done shopping - can't imagine docile game like chess could turn so brutal; what, was it run by a senile Salarian like myself?"

 

Kallic's comments and questions came in an unending stream of speech only stopped by the fact that he was reading the results of his scan - and chuckling at his last remark; many of his words were meant as a joke to his friend Chiron, not knowing he might be saying things not too far from the truth, or how that might affect the situation.

 

((Hooray for poorly structured posts!....Whatever.))

[DrPhil2501]

"What happened to her anyways? Looked like firefight at the Cantina, must assume it happened because of her. Thought there was chess tournament there - was planning on joining when done shopping - can't imagine docile game like chess could turn so brutal; what, was it run by a senile Salarian like myself?"

 

Tuhrop was sitting on the bench, with a blood stained metal tray holding a bullet and tweasers laying beside him. He watched the scene take place as he applied the medigel over his wound.

 

"I think the real question is..." Tuhrop begun, staring at the comatose Asari and the human with the walrus moustache. "Is who are these people and what are they doing aboard my ship? As if a geth on board wasnt enough."

 

There was silence. Tom was the one who broke it. "...We have a geth on board?"

 

"I think you're avoiding the question." Tuhrop enforced. "... sorry, I was chased by some Sniper-wielding lunatic throughout the markets. He killed the information broker I met, and I barely escaped with my life. Its obvious that data is more trouble than its worth: and worst of all, we know absolutely nothing about it."

 

He stood up from the table, and disposed of the medical waste. "We have to get airborn ASAP, before that sniper could conjure up another crude method of execution: like planting a bomb on the hull of our ship!"

[Tysyacha]

MEDBAY ABOARD THE VALKYRIE

 

Summoning all of her strength and courage, Quirinius V'tala slowly hoisted herself up on her elbows. Her vision was still hazy, but not quite as blurry as it had been a few moments ago. Whatever the krogan doctor had injected into her bloodstream was definitely working, even though the young asari had absolutely no idea what it was. She managed to smile weakly at him.

 

"I...I guess I should thank you for saving my life," she said warmly, "if that solution I injected wasn't quite what I thought it was. Stupid chemical dealers! I knew something wasn't quite right about that volus, or the way he was acting. Still, did I listen to my better judgment? No, just like in the chess tournament! I remember losing, and the salarian wanting to kill me, and then all hell broke loose when I started to run. I injected the sedative when the bullets started flying, and then..." She sighed. "Nothing. I must have been completely unconscious from that moment on until I wound up...here?" Quirinius glanced around the medbay. "Where am I, exactly?"

[CommanderQ]

Frank was amazed at the diverse nature of the Valkrie's crew....humans working with Asari, Quarian, Krogan, even Drell. That amazed him that they could even get along on a joint vessel.

 

"Is who are these people and what are they doing aboard my ship? As if a geth on board wasnt enough."

 

A Turian.

 

Now that complicated things. Frank despised Turians...their rigid, anti-human sentiment, had so devastated many of his fellow squad members during first contact. But this was the only way to complete the mission, so he'd need to be diplomatic...and not kill the Turian when the opportunity came.

 

"The name's Frank, Frank Mcdowell. I helped your friend, Tom, out of a tight situation when several Eclipse mercenaries came along. I need not go into the details, but here I am...on 'your' ship, I believe. I, too, sell information..."

[Salzella]

(thanks Master_Archon )

 

Thiyan walked the Geth to the ship's brig, pistol in hand. He had a distrust of machines that went beyond merely the threat the Geth represented, and even though he knew it wasn't entirely rational, he was still distinctly uncomfortable.

 

"Ship, V.I... whatever, prepare yourself against hacking attempts. Geth are the most technologically advanced race I know, and it would probably pay to be cautious."

 

Thiyan turned to the Geth, and nodded into the open room. "I can't force you, the gods know, but if you seek this 'Genesis', and you really do wish co-operation with organics... then I think it would be for the best if you stayed here until Tuhrop decides what to do with you..." Thiyan shrugged.

 

He turned to go, but hesitated. "Even if you did try to escape or fight... once we're airborn we can't escape either way. Do you want to stay here, and avoid disturbing the crew further? Or do you want to sit in on the discussions?" Thiyan raised an eyebrow the inscrutable machine.

 

"Your choice".

[Cyborg Ninja]

Chiron let out a laugh, as Kallic spoke with the asari.

 

"I'll have you know I was quite the bachelor a few hundred years ago. Feel free to use my equipment Kallic, I'll assist you once I make sure both this asari is alright."

 

Chiron turned his attention back to the asari.

 

"This is the Valkyrie my dear. You should stay here for at least another hour. Then you can walk about that ship if you wish....as it appears we must be leaving."

______________________________

 

Rogue stared at Thiyan as he presented the machine with a few choices. Rogue quickly did the calculations in its head.

 

"I believe I should stay here until your superior or another speaks with me. Drell:Thiyan, would I be able to clear up any concerns you might have with me?" Rogue asked.

[DrPhil2501]

Tuhrop walked towards the bridge, where the cockpit resided. The pilot seat was empty.

 

"Naut'aun! Where the hell are you?" Tuhrop announced. Soon the Hanar floated into the cockpit. "We need to get this bird up in the air fast." Tuhrop added. "I dont think we will be visiting this place again any time soon..."

 

It was hard to tell the expression given from a Hanar, but it could be assumed that the floating Jellyfish was confused. "How much did I miss out on, Captain?"

 

"I'll explain later. Just get your keister glued into that chair of yours and get us the hell out of here!"

 

"May I point out captain, that we Hanar do not share similar digestiv-"

 

"NOW!" Tuhrop barked.

 

The pilot did as he was told. The Valkyrie detatched itself from the docking-bay platform, and hovered in mid air. The engines fired up and flew the freighter through the downward structures of omega. Soon the red jellyfish was shrinking into the distance, as the Valkyrie soared away from the asteroid field.

 

"Specify a destination?" Ghost enquired.

 

"Anywhere thats not here!" Turhop replied.

 

"Very well, the Fathar star cluster it is!"

 

The Valkyrie engaged the FTL drive, and soon entered a spinning vortex of stars. Ghost rested his hands behind his head.

 

"Alright, we oughta arrive there within less than an hour." Naut'aun "said" happily.

 

"Well done, Naut." he turned around and walked out of the cockpit. "I have something I need to attend to..."

 

_________________________________________________

 

"This is the Valkyrie my dear. You should stay here for at least another hour. Then you can walk about that ship if you wish....as it appears we must be leaving."

 

There was a sudden rumble and turbulance. Soon the heavy vibration stopped.

 

"I think we have already left." Tom eyed around the medical bay. He looked back at the Asari, and added a continuation of the story.

 

"Anyway, we found you in the club just lying on the floor. Scared off the Salarian and the two Krogan Body Guards, and called Chiron for assistance. Then we took you aboard, treated you and then happily ever after."

 

Tom made a slight pace around the room. He stopped and crossed his arms. "Unless of course we get stalked by Eclypse Mercs and Chess Fanatics?"

 

((edited for the sake of Archon's Hanar character, so as to fit him in with the RP ))

[Master_Archon]

((Ah, and I was gonna make a second character to be the pilot!))

 

"I'll have you know I was quite the bachelor a few hundred years ago. Feel free to use my equipment Kallic, I'll assist you once I make sure both this asari is alright." Chiron responded to Kallic's remarks.

 

"Thus illegitimates come to mind," the amphibian retorted simply, barely a hint of sarcasm in his voice to indicate the jesting behind his words; retrieving the syringe from Chiron as he wasn't doing anything with it.

 

Kallic continued to listen to the hubbub around him but most of his attention was on the slow processing results of his Omni-Tool's scan of the asari. His genetic systems may be on the blink but that didn't mean they didn't work altogether, plus he always had regular scans too.

 

"Anyway, we found you in the club just lying on the floor. Scared off the Salarian and the two Krogan Body Guards, and called Chiron for assistance. Then we took you aboard, treated you and then happily ever after." Kallic heard Tom say as he somewhat anxiously paced the medbay floor. "Unless of course we get stalked by Eclypse Mercs and Chess Fanatics?"

 

"Chess Fanatics no, Eclypse Mercs yes....Well, maybe; probably not," Kallic added in, finishing with his scan report. "Chromosome deletion minimal, somewhat higher RNA degradation and decay however. Allover genetic structure okay, but cellular destruction high, especially in the muscle tissue; not surprising with mixture of muscicides and atropixenine together, when everything shuts down things shut down, body cannot process waste and regrow tissue when blood isn't flowing, blessed to have survived, must have had hints of other drug toxins in the syringe. Ketamine perhaps? Xenon? Nitrous oxide, perhaps, condensates are hard to store in warm, lighted environments, no matter."

"Would suggest allowing for some cytogenics stabilization, but don't know what longterm effects of the drug will be, especially with ten percent of it being such a mystery," Kallic finally paused to turn to Chiron. "Not medical expert - that's why I ask you - would you agree that longterm observations of her physical stability and overall health would be best? Or do you feel she'll be fine with the 'regular' release procedures?"

[Tysyacha]

MEDBAY ABOARD THE VALKYRIE

 

Quirinius V'tala shook her head, trying to clear the cobwebs--and the sudden realization that she was no longer on Omega--out of it. "I can't believe it," she said. "Wherever you're going, and whatever you're doing, it seems like I'm a part of it now! Not that I mind," she added quickly. "I was becoming a pariah on Omega, or at least in the Afterlife nightclub. I was winning too much at the quasar machines and the gambling tables--not to mention the chessboard." She blushed ruefully. "Aria T'loak was getting suspicious, and it doesn't pay to have her breathing down your neck. I'm Quirinius V'tala, by the way." She smiled by way of introduction. "I'm glad to meet all of you."

[DrPhil2501]

"Not medical expert - that's why I ask you - would you agree that longterm observations of her physical stability and overall health would be best? Or do you feel she'll be fine with the 'regular' release procedures?"

 

Tom stared at Kallic with a confused smirk. "Not a medical expert? And all that just came from the top of your head?"

 

After Quirinius explained her former occupation, Tom scratched his head. "Aria T'loak was getting suspicious, and it doesn't pay to have her breathing down your neck. I'm Quirinius V'tala, by the way." She smiled by way of introduction. "I'm glad to meet all of you."

 

"Tom." he pointed to himself. He looked over at the Salarian and the Krogan Doctor. "You've aleady met Kallic and Chiron. And our captain; Qui'in Tuhrop."

 

He looked back at her. "Which by the way; you may want to speak with him in regards to your current situation and figure out what to do with you."

 

_____________________________________________________________

 

Tuhrop walked from the bridge, and walked passed the medical bay. He took the stairway down towards the brig - where Thiyan and the Geth resided.

 

It stood in the cell where it was imprisoned by a mass effect barrier. It was in the middle of a conversation with the drell. The turian joined in.

 

"We're heading to the Farther star cluster for temporary refuge until we figure out our next course of action." he turned to the Geth.

 

"I have questions for you. Its not usual to be in the presence of a geth where it can speak vocally. Or maybe our sub-dermal translation implants have gone haywire. But thats beside the point." he crossed his arms. "Are you going to pose a threat against me or my crew?

[Cyborg Ninja]

"I believe the long term observations would be best for Quirnius," Chiron said, not wanting to take any risks.

_______________________________________________

 

Rogue looked over at Turhop when he entered the brig. Rogue watched as the turian stared at it.

 

"Are you going to pose a threat against me or my crew?

 

Rogue looked Turhop for a few seconds. "I do not seek conflict against the organics."

[Salzella]

Thiyan put his arms behind his back and regarded the conversation between the captain and the machine.

 

"I do not seek conflict against the organics."

 

"What were you searching for then?" Thiyan asked. "This 'Genesis' you're looking for... what is it? Was it something we found on that freighter? Captain, do you know what it's talking about?"

[Tysyacha]

MEDBAY ABOARD THE VALKYRIE

 

Quirinius stepped a bit closer to the krogan doctor. "Would that be...a problem for you? I mean, I don't want to intrude or impose myself upon this ship or its crew. If I'm feeling up to it--meaning if this counterfeit batch of atropixenine doesn't continue to have bad side effects that debilitate me--I'll help out in any way I can. It's the least I can do to pay you back for saving my life." The asari winked and held out her hand. "In my book, you're heroes."

[DrPhil2501]

"What were you searching for then?" Thiyan asked. "This 'Genesis' you're looking for... what is it? Was it something we found on that freighter? Captain, do you know what it's talking about?"

 

"It was part of the reason why we were on Omega." Tuhrop began. "When we encountered the derelict Cerberus Freighter, we found an encrypted data file on the ship's main computer."

 

He activated his omni-tool around his wrist. He searched through his archives to pull up a holographic representation of the file they encountered, written in a series of characters and numbers Tuhrop could not understand - the only thing understandable was the file's title: Genesis.

 

"Whatever this thing is, it almost costed me my life. I was with an information broker, trying to sell this. In the midst of negotiations, a Sniper took out the broker and his guards. He's been chasing me around the markets, up until now."

 

Tuhrop continued to gaze at the orange holographic projection of the Genesis file. "My guess, it was an agent for Cerberus; trying to clean up their own mess."

 

The captain looked back at the Geth.

 

"So what is your interest with this? Has it got something to do with the Geth?"

[Cyborg Ninja]

"So what is your interest with this? Has it got something to do with the Geth?"

 

"It does not," Rogue said.

 

Rogue stared at Tuhrop for a few seconds. Rogue always answered questions straight forward. It had to remember that organics tended to need more than a few word answers to their questions.

 

"I saw the vessel and was curious. I downloaded a copy of the files to my omni-tool and attempted to hack them. I could only decipher the word "genesis"."

________________________________

 

"Well thank you," Chiron said shaking her hand. "Its no trouble at all," he added in.

[DrPhil2501]

Tuhrop continued staring at the Geth. He wondered if it had any reason to lie. Is a machine even capable of lying?

 

"I saw the vessel and was curious. I downloaded a copy of the files to my omni-tool and attempted to hack them. I could only decipher the word "genesis"."

 

"So you want to help us decypher the file?" Tuhrop recalled. "You're asking to join us? But I thought the Geth are allied with the Reapers - sentient machines that threaten organic life?"

 

_____________________________________________________________

 

Ulrich watched the Asari shake Chiron's hand, with a sense of doubt behind his eyes. Was it a mistake bringing her onboard? Could she be trusted? Afterall, she did compete in a sport that involved slavery as the grand prize.

 

He also felt the same about Frank. Could he be trusted? Was he really what he said he was?

 

Ulrich shook his head, and rubbed his eyes. He had better things to worry about then trust issues. "I got to get back to my duties. System Diagnostics wont run themselves." he exited the medical bay, and headed towards the command deck computer, near the cockpit. It was during then that he remembered the Captain mentioning about a Geth onboard.
