Calibration 19 [Audio | City Enchanted]

[officer_garrus]

It looks like we're getting a lot of new people in town. If any of them are listening in, I just have a few words of advice: keep on your toes. This city can be unpredictable.

[OOC: Feel free to boss him around.]

Good advice.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Especially seeing as how bizarre things haven't stopped happening even with the barriers back up.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

I think something started happening even before the barrier went down.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I noticed.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

Mind sharing what you noticed? Two sets of eyes seeing more, and all that. If it's a lot, you could write it up.

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

You mean other than the tower falling and the clock stopping? Well, my scars started acting up, I had some of the worst nightmares I've ever experienced, and I saw... something while checking my omni-tool.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

What did you see?

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Something from my world, something that leaves destruction and death in its wake... a Reaper.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

When was that?

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

[Thinks] Around that holiday where we had to wear green.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

St Patrick's Day.

... Anything since the barrier came back up?

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Sometimes my device cuts out, and I've been seeing the word IECENVDE a lot. Either it's a word not covered by my translator, or it's code for something.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

IECENVDE. The petals yesterday formed that word, didn't they. [And another thought, unrelated.] Translator? What language do you usually speak?

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Almost everyone in my universe wears a translator on them to make communication easier. I usually speak native turian.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

Native turian? What does that sound like? [Curiosity. Good thing she's not a cat.]

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Like this. [Reaches up to where his ear is and taps something. Opens his mouth and says something in a language that sounds both birdlike and reptilian. Taps his ear again.]

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

What did you say?

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

I said "I need to do some calibrations".

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

Calibrations to what?

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

Nothing really right now, it's just something I tend to say sometimes.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

Which part of what you said was the 'I'?

[officer-garrus.livejournal.com]

[Switches back to native turian to demonstrate.]

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

[Long pause.] Right.
