[ Ah, the woes of alien friends. Trying to explain that he didn't just dunk his face in a vat of whipped cream, or the relevance of occasionally mowing down a gross beard to someone who doesn't... have any hair. ]
It's for uh—shaving. [ He wipes the brunt of the froth away with a spare bathtowel, which leaves him with half a jaw of stubble. Super attractive. ] Guess you don't have to worry about it with your face.
[ Unless he has to touch up his paint, or whatever that blue stuff is. ]
Russia is a really big motherfucking country that's like 80% the tundra. Napoleon couldn't get through it. Russia's crap weather stopped the next supreme dictator.

Area 51 is like a top secret area in New Mexico. That's a state in the USA. Aliens and secret tech is supposed to be housed there.

Not sure interesting's the word I'd use. [ The power they hold on their own is terrifying, to say the least. If there really is more than one of these businesses out there on this level - he shakes his head, taking another drink.
Not a promising prospect, no. He frowns. ]
You get to talk to any of those recruits in collars?
Sparatus is the turian on the Council. Group of leaders, help keep things more or less working between dozens of races so we don't wind up in more wars. He's also a blind idiot. Figuratively speaking.
Interesting is a good word. Neutral. You can use it and people can hear admiration or fear, depending on what they wanna hear, and you can argue the case for it meaning either.
[Interesting is rarely good, except when it comes to interesting vids. But what matters is how it's spun, especially when dealing with the CDC. The other topic has his mandibles drawing close to his face.]
Talked to a bunch of them. Some of them new. Some of them crew. Some of them... well, a pair I'd hoped I wouldn't ever see again. They should've stayed dead, though it's pretty clear by now that the CDC doesn't let things like death stand in their way. You?
They don't, from the sound of it. But that doesn't mean there isn't a way to make them coordinate. You've got tactical training. Think about flanking attacks - fire on two sides, maybe at an angle/in a V shape - to direct and panic enemies.

Fire doesn't injure alone. It speaks to primal instincts in every species, and can cut off some higher thinking just by being present.

We're not the front-line squad, but I want us to think about what happens when we do wind up going solo against something or someone. Considering Ajna, it's likely to happen.
