I'm definitely not gonna complain.
[Ryan shifts with him, then makes himself comfortable-- for all that he can be awkward about initiating contact, once he's sure it's welcome he has fewer reservations. He's just going to end up practically wrapped around Garrus, long limbs draped over him like some sort of human starfish clinging on. He's serious about cuddling, okay.]

[Part of Tali is just sort of in shock here. Garrus is just gradually blowing her mind more and more.]

I suppose that's logical. At least, it's the most logical thing you've said so far.

If so many other cycles have been working on this weapon, how likely are we to finish it before the Reapers finish with us?
FROM: vasneema.talizorah@cdc.org
The species that designed the Citadel is still out there?

[ Ha. Turianly. That would make him grin if this wasn't so serious.
But it is. He can't help feeling that they're letting their people down. It doesn't matter what they do, they keep losing their own team members. It can't be a coincidence that they've lost so many of their own. ]

I haven't stopped moving since this started. I know you haven't, either. We have a safe zone, we have schedules, we're sending people in groups and not alone and we're still losing them.
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
I don't know what to do anymore. There's more people missing than dead, what does that mean? Where are they? Why can't we find them?

I wish I had an answer to any of that. I don't know what more we can do. And if we try skipping sleep we're gonna have instructors on our heads about that but we've got people gone.

Bostova might have gone hunting by herself. She was angry enough to. Javik? He's arrogant, but he's not stupid. He should have taken someone along and he'd know I would expect that.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
And I've been through so many corridors. You've been through them. They're not transferred. Neheda told me that herself. Shouldn't someone have some way of finding people on the ship?
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
It's a ship, a closed space. And they're missing. I can't begin to figure this out.

It all comes down to how much a change is worth it to people. Eventually the downtrodden do get angry, and a lot of them die, but things change.

We've got it basically done. We need to attach it now. And we had help, thanks to a prothean recording found on Thessia. Everyone's built on the graveyards of the past with this thing.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
And our additions should make it operational.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
The other's another headache of info. Keep dumping these on you without meaning to. When reapers take people and don't turn them into husks or other variations, they're turned into ships.

Every reaper vessel is made of billions and billions of members of a species, disintegrated and reformed, cultural history stored in the banks. That's why they took the colonists.

You mean, in the bed fifty feet from yours? The alcove with the boots that I wear everywhere sitting outside it? Yeah, I'm here, Ino. What is it?

[She scrubs her face. She'll never be ready for this, and her instinct is to run, but damn it, she knows better than to do that now.]
Right. People need people and all that.

I don't know. That's what I don't understand. It's not as if someone could just cross the border and never be seen again. Even if they're dead, they must be somewhere.
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
Unless there are sections we don't know about? Like the ones the new people were inside. We didn't know there was anything behind there before.
FROM: dartagnan@cdc.org
But surely the Instructors would know about that. And for better or worse, they've seemed as confused as we are.

Funny thing is that most on the ship can eat what you do. There's the ones who need blood, two dextro, and I'm pretty sure the rest are fine with human food.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Not completely sure it's that few who don't eat it, but definitely most are fine, considering how much the supply drop food has been shared and swapped around.

You will.
[It's stressful to not be able to do much about this mess, to be positioned and mostly waiting, but at least he's where he can keep an eye on some people he gives a care about. Not enough of them, but some.
He'll be near the door when she arrives, keeping an eye on things and waiting for the next stage of hell to break through.]

I can taste it. It's just a matter of it not doing anything for me nutritionally. And possibly making my mouth tingle and hide itch.

The Instructors have to know this ship. It's theirs. They've got access to the areas, they've explored it. It's what you do when on a new ship.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
But there's still a lot of info they don't think falls under need-to-know, and some of that is the ship itself. Gonna be a while before we wind up trusted enough for that, by the looks of things.

People need people.
[He looks over at her, studying her face.]
It's easy to lose yourself if you shut people out, isolate yourself. What's important doesn't seem like so much of a priority once you've got it so you feel alone. Thankfully you've got a bunch of people on your side. All of us who'll teach you, d'Artagnan, the rest of the Leapfrogs... Whatever comes here, Talbot, you're not alone.

Which would be why I'm in the room instead of continuing patrolling. Did you need me for something, Ino?
