its ok most humans look like potatoes

yeah fancy title. what kind of things did u do though. like did u fly a ship? steer a boat? shoot ppl flying ships steering boats?

that sounds nice. what about kids? do they got 2 work 2

[forgivetheinsubordination]

I'm not sure which ones those are.

I shot people, made plans for shooting more people, set up resource routes, set up defensive perimeters and other measures, allocated resources, basically, a lot of stuff.

Our young are adults at 15. I think it's different for humans. But once you're an adult, you worked. Duty and responsibility are pretty big things for turians.

[goodjob]

if we get any next supply drop ill show u

so like u were an assassin? and a planner. what team r u on?

do turians age the same way as humans? i dont think most human kids r ready for that at 15. i mean they can b but not always

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Thanks. I think.

No. Not an assassin. I take out criminals, the bad guys, and not for a profit. No civilian casualties. Green.

We mature faster. Maybe it's a cultural thing, maybe it's a species thing. I don't really know. Similar lifespans, though.

[goodjob]

ur welcome

so ur police. whats turian prison like?

i started working at 13 so who knows. what was ur 1st job?

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Holding cells until they're sent to do labor for a time, or fined and released, or taken care of.

I worked C-Sec. Citadel Security. Police force for the largest space station we have. Couldn't take a step without tripping over red tape.

[goodjob]

the punishment is always labor? what if they cant work?

thats what u get 4 working where lots of ppl r watching. cops in south side can do whatever the fuck they want

[forgivetheinsubordination]

There's always something that can be done. And if they've got mental issues than they're not a criminal.

Yeah, well, I went and did whatever the fuck I wanted elsewhere. Did a damn good job of it, too.

[goodjob]

yeah but the wrong ppl get arrested all the time. how do appeals work

so what sad corner of the universe is ur south side

[forgivetheinsubordination]

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

If you're sloppy, sure. We're not sloppy.

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

Omega. Mining space station that became more. Much more. It's a place for the worst scum of the lot to gather, and for those who have hit rock-bottom to fall.

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

I made it better. For a time.

[goodjob]

bullshit. everybody fucks up especially cops. no offense

why does all the scum end up in omega? is it where all the workers live

[forgivetheinsubordination]

You don't understand my people or my culture. There's a heavy weight of responsibility for each person we put away. We make sure we're doing the right thing.

The scum ends up on Omega because there aren't any laws there. Gangs moved in. They can do business there, safely. Except while I was around.

[goodjob]

yeah ur right i dont know ur culture. maybe ur ppl r special and never make mistakes. have u ever been arrested?

oh right the archangel thing from ur file. vigilante is just a fancy word for superhero u know

[forgivetheinsubordination]

I'm not saying we don't make mistakes. But I'm saying there are a lot of safeguards in place, and our people know how to do their jobs.

C-Sec errs on the side of caution. Sometimes too much caution. People wind up getting away who shouldn't. But that keeps others from being wrongfully arrested or harmed.

I'm not some movie character. I did what needed to be done.

[goodjob]

u didnt answer my question but it was a shitty question. u dont have 2

[Back in her rover, Fiona silently chastises herself. Stop making such a big deal of this.]

movie characters only exist in movies. what was so fucked up about omega that u had 2 go

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Good.

[And that's all he's saying on that.]

Superheroes only exist in movies.

Someone important to me, someone who had changed the game in the galaxy, died. She was no longer making a difference, so I needed to step up. Make double the difference.

Easiest place to do that was where the slavers, drug dealers, and other lowlifes felt safe. Hit them where it hurt, do the most damage. And it worked.

[goodjob]

im sorry ur friend died

and shit u didnt say there was slavery. i thought it was pimps and dealers.

[Fiona thinks for a while before adding the next bit:]

where im from has lots of that low rent shit. full of shit cops. sounds like ur ok though

[forgivetheinsubordination]

[He's not touching on the friend either. She got better after dying. It was a strange time in his life.]

Not sure what a pimp is. Omega was a high traffic area for stolen goods and selling drugs and slaves. Still is. Even I couldn't completely disrupt it. If I had, they would have set up shop elsewhere.

I do what I can. Nobody's perfect. But anyone can work to change things.

[goodjob]

a pimp is a hooker's boss [And then Fiona Gallagher explained what a pimp was to an alien.]

i know ur not perfect ur really bad at taking compliments. or is that a cultural thing 2

[forgivetheinsubordination]

I don't know what a hooker is either, sorry.

That's a Garrus thing. Sorry. Pretty bad at being a turian, actually. I like to skip the red tape and go after the big criminals. Most turians would marry red tape if it could give consent.

[goodjob]

FROM: gallagher.fiona@cdc.org

r u apologizing 2 me 4 not knowing what a hooker is

when a man and a woman love each other very much and 1 pays 4 sex thats a hooker

FROM: gallagher.fiona@cdc.org

u dont have 2 apologize thats my job 4 being a dick back there. please tell me u know what a dick is

but what ur saying is most of ur people r all by the book cops

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Sex worker. You're saying that a pimp is the boss of a sex worker. That's not a crime, unless they're doing it in a way that exploits the sex worker. Then we're back to slavery.

And yeah. I apologize when I need something explained to me. Figure that way the person doesn't get bothered. Know what a dick is. Both meanings.

My people are. Follow the regulations, follow the rules, serve the right way. Turian vigilantes are a very rare breed.

[goodjob]

its illegal where im from

u dont have 2 apologize. ive been asking enough questions 2 fill a book

if u have 2 b a cop thats a good way 2 do it. worst cops back home always had a hardon for rules

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Can't wrap my head around it being illegal. That'd probably only increase the sale of slaves.

I figured it was the ones who looked the other way who were the worst. The ones who would ignore what was going on as long as a few credits landed in their pockets.

How did rules-following go wrong? Not to question you, just because I'm not following.

[goodjob]

FROM: gallagher.fiona@cdc.org

lots of things r illegal that dont make sense. pots illegal. u cant buy beer on saturdays or drink it until ur 21. cant drive until ur 16

FROM: gallagher.fiona@cdc.org

hey u can question me i questioned u. dirty cops r fine. u know where u stand with them. its the cops who think they r gods gift to mankind u have 2 watch out 4

FROM: gallagher.fiona@cdc.org

this 1 time my little brothers got arrested 4 auto theft. they were driving a borrowed car and they didnt know it was stolen. i stayed in the fucking waiting room all night and i fucking character lim

[FIONA IS DONE WITH YOUR TEXT RESTRICTIONS CDC!!!]

INCOMING CALL: gallagher.fiona@cdc.org
START RECORDING:
So, the cop that arrested him wanted to send their stupid asses away because [She imitates a deeper, gruff male voice:] them's the breaks, ma'am, even though they knew there wasn't a chance in hell either of them knew what the fuck was going on, or who stole the car or anything like that. They were just dumb kids and they fucked up. But this cop really wants to put 'em away.

So I'm in there figuring out what to do -- my one brother wants to go to the military, right? Which he can fucking say goodbye to if the cop books him, and the other one I'd like to see go to college, which is a hell of a lot fucking harder if he ends up in juvie at seventeen. Kinda tanks your test scores.

I get there and run into this cop I've known since kindergarten, we grew up together and shit, he has this big stupid fucking crush on me. I talk real nice, and get real sad -- not really acting, there. But next thing you know, after making that big fucking deal about locking my brothers up? All the sudden they're dropping charges, and that cop I knew, he asks me out on a date.

You're a smart guy, I'll let you figure out what the moral of the story is.
