I hear you. I know someone a bit like that myself. Good type of friend to have, even if it brings a lot of chaos with it.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Wanna state for the record that I'm not about to drug someone against their will, though. I'll tease, but I'm not gonna do that.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Unless their life's directly in danger. Or they're putting someone else in danger, that sort of thing. So yeah, I'll harass you, and I do have dried celye blossom on hand, but I won't go there.
It's more advanced tech. Your world will have it eventually. And your world will have scientific explanations for more. It's what all worlds do as they progress.

i never actually thanked you for getting me out of there
[Guess who's feeling much more agreeable after having a nap.]
no subject
I read your admiration and appreciation in the way you didn't kick me.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
You're welcome, doc. So she's a friend of yours from home?
no subject
hawke? yes. shes a good friend
[Which is saying something. He doesn't have a lot of those.]
FROM: anders@cdc.org
it figures that she would drop in just in time to help with a rescue operation. that tends to be how things go

i believe you. i was still half-drugged when you found me, though. cant blame me for being a little touchy
FROM: anders@cdc.org
ill tell hawke she can believe you too
no subject
You were having a pretty bad day. I'll give you that. And thanks.

How're you doing?
no subject
better. i managed to sleep, even with the

"noise" doesnt really seem like a good enough word for it
no subject
Screams. That's what it felt like. Maybe it's not accurate. But there was a lot behind it.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Glad you got some sleep, though. Maybe we're in for a break for a few now, but better to be rested in case we're not.

at this point i think its safer to assume we arent

whatever that was, i certainly wouldnt call it a positive development

Plan for the worst, hope for the best. It's a pretty universal sentiment.

Let me know if I can help Hawke with any tech questions or issues. Remember to tell her the rovers aren't mage-powered.
no subject
when are you going to let that go
no subject
Five, six decades from now. Give or take a few years.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
It's a good one. Even you've gotta admit that.
no subject
i dont have to admit anything
[anders stop]
FROM: anders@cdc.org
the only way anything like that would work where im from is with magic. i dont think it was that outrageous an assumption to make

[Takes two to... whatever it is they're doing.]

Everything's magic until you know how it works.
no subject
do you really want to start this again?
[Too late because he's starting it.]
FROM: anders@cdc.org
we know how magic works. maybe your world is the one that hasnt caught up yet
no subject
It's not my world that doesn't have scientific reasons for why someone's a mage and why others aren't.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Anyone ever tell you you're fun to rile up and tease? Did Hawke have to make her animal sit on you?
no subject
He opts not to try it.]
FROM: anders@cdc.org
its a dog. do you seriously not have dogs where youre from?
[He's also not honoring either of those questions with a response.]
no subject
So that's a dog. We have some similar things on Palaven, but nothing that looks quite like that. And you don't see pets that big in space.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Rodents, fish, small reptiles, that's what you're likely to see out there. Space is at a premium. In space.
[He sees the avoidance... and counts it as a win.]
no subject
doesnt seem like the cdc got that message
FROM: anders@cdc.org
there are just as many animals as people in my rover. provided legend doesnt eat my chicken any time soon
no subject
The CDC doesn't pack us all into a ship the whole time. They operate a little differently.
[Way to ignore his totally funny joke there.]
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
My rover's never had that problem. Had a bahari for a while, Piper, but just the one. And then a lot of flowers.
no subject
FROM: anders@cdc.org
ill take the bahari over the flowers personally. at least we can be reasonably certain the bahari wont kill us
no subject
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Yamanaka Ino's managing the flowers. She knows a lot about them from home, so we're safe.
no subject
thats actually legitimately reassuring
FROM: anders@cdc.org
i think id still pick the bahari though
no subject
Well. If I actually had a choice in the matter, I might too. But I'm short on useful animals.
no subject
thats a shame. its nice to have cats around the rover
FROM: anders@cdc.org
even if one of them does try to eat my chicken on a daily basis
