Garrus Vakarian

Yes? You need something Garrus. Kinda busy here. Almost figured out who brought scale itch on board.

From:

Mordin, you're back! Are any of the others with you?

From:

No. I don't think so. Why would they? They were out on a "day trip" with Shepard last I knew. Trying to break into statistically three point zero suicidal orders from Shepard a day.

From:

I see... [Hangs his head for a few seconds.] Mordin, before you got here today, how much time has gone by since we defeated the Collectors?

From:

...Finite time? Not sure. Haven't been paying attention to the clock. Busy. Especially after Shepard snuck off on request by Admiral Hackett. Still. Shouldn't be much longer since I was last here.

From:

Hackett? Interesting... Ahem, so the Reapers haven't arrived yet?

From:

Maybe. Unlikely. Can't be certain. No in short.

Yes. Was interesting. Especially the outcome. The data set that we recorded was simply astounding.

From:

Well, people here say that for all the time we're here, almost no time passes back in our world. You've been gone for months here.

From:

Months? Amusing. 1 week, 3 days, 5 hours, 43 minutes and... 73 seconds since I was last in the City. No real time has passed while I was in the City though. Don't worry. Your girl is safe. I would assume. If she's anything like my version of Shepard.

From:

So it's not too late for me to help when I actually get back.

From:

With what? My other self could have done all your work already.

From:

You know, the Reaper invasion. Hopefully by the time I get home there will still be time to properly prepare.

From:

Wait... you aren't preparing here? For shame! Shepard should dump you for such gross negligence!

From:

There's only so many times I can calibrate my weapons and omni-tool here, especially while getting inturrupted by curses.

From:

...then start training in other weapons. Or try to discover alternative weapons of use. For example, heard rumors recently of being able to militarize the Omnitool further. Rumors of making it more of a close range weapon. Using STG contacts to see which corporation or government is working on this. If I can, will forward the data. Maybe use this idea to your advantage. Maybe add a bayonet to your sniper rifle. Make it more useful at short range.

From:

Using an omni-tool as a weapon? Interesting.

From:

Agreed. So used to Omnitool as an interface. Ethereal. But this tech seems to solidify the Omnitool making it a blade of some sort. Still not sure. Seems to be the developmental phases at this point. If we're lucky, we'll see it by the time the Reapers arrive. Would definitely like this tech. Then again so would STG and all its equivalences... Shepard included.

From:

[Nods.] Definatly sounds like something I, and the rest of us, could use. Still, we'll probably need a lot more than that and modified guns if we're going to stop an entire fleet of those things. Sovereign alone wasn't easy to take down.

From:

Without a doubt. Working on some large tech. Seeing on what I can work with regarding information acquired from Legion, EDI, Project Overlord as well as data from the Thanix Cannon. Not weapons expert, but can at least have some fun along the way.

From:

Not to mention any helpful information the Shadow Broker might send us. Wait until I get home, then our weapons will be in top shape, perfect for those monsters.

From:

While we'll get some interesting tech, the sheer intelligence we get in terms of being able to navigate the field will be amazing. Any intelligence service would just love a drop of access to the Shadow Broker... and we have a direct connection to her.

From:

Hello again.

From:

Ah, Cameron! How goes the law here in the City? Made any real changes?

From:

I've worked on the code some, but I've been too busy being the Chief of Police to get anywhere.

From:

Oh? Interesting! Know who to talk to if have to surpass the bureaucracy. Could be very effective.

From:

Could be, unless I decided to make you go through the bureaucracy. Depending on why you'd want to surpass it, I might. [ She's ... mostly joking. Except not really. ]

From:

Please. Wouldn't be using it for superficial means. Only reasons where proper authorities would be better. Can handle matters of general theft, assault, being sieged, being threatened with high powered weaponry or similar situations just fine. Am Salarian. Nobody expects us as a threat.

From:

No one here knows what Salarians are.

From:

Exactly. Look weak. Puny. Obviously not something hulking with big guns. Ignore the simple pistol. Can't be as dangerous as a shotgun. Until it's used to snipe you down.

From:

Anyone with a pistol is a threat when no one is used to them.

From:

True. Best to have some weapon training, even if it's how to handle one properly. Considering implementing a program like that in the City? Help prevent people from accidentally hurting each other... Maybe add in some basic training in swords and other common weapon types in the City.

From:

It's not a bad idea. Some people are working on a programme like that - mostly just self-defence for now, though.

From:

Self-defense? Could work. Maybe make sister program. Aim to give knowledge so they won't hurt themselves if they have to handle them. Or alternatively so they can disassemble a pistol so nobody can get hurt by it if a fight occurs.
