It's a list of people who are about to not be able to breathe and are gonna suffer in ways that made Krios pass out, and I have no damn clue as to why we're on there.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
That help you, Joker?
insert a good 2 minute delay here
[You better fuckin' pick up, Vakarian, or else he will spam call your ass, do not test him.]
[And when he does:]
What in the actual fuck?
no subject
CALLING: Vakarian, Garrus
I. Don't. Know.
[There's anger in his voice, frustration too, both of them making up most of what's in his subharmonics, but there's a faint under-rumble there. He's lost. He doesn't understand this, and he doesn't want the agony but there's nothing for it.]
Can't relay what I'm about to say to Shepard. She's Grey. Telling her will probably land you with this too. But we don't have a general gag order.
Our orders were recon. Do you really think Tali and I fucked up recon? Get intel about a neraki village. We got it. I have nothing else to give you, Moreau.
no subject
[It's mostly a rhetorical question-- clearly the CDC does-- but still. What the fuck.]
I know you two aren't idiots, you can run a recon mission in your freakin' sleep, but-- shit. There's nothing you can do to stop it, is there?
[He wants to talk to Shepard, because the default response when shit goes down is to make it Shepard's problem too, but landing himself in hot water for nothing doesn't help anybody. Which means all he can do is sit there and wait until it happens and hope that no one dies or anything.]
no subject
[His voice is clearly asking if Joker is stupid.]
What do you want me to say? And tell me fast, because I'm about to switch back to text.
no subject
I want something to do that isn't sitting on my ass, Vakarian. What were you expecting, for me to just be cool with this shit?
[He wants to help, even if there isn't any way that he actually can.]
no subject
There's nothing else to do. Really wish I had anything else to tell you. Last time the punishment happened, Krios broke a gag order. I didn't realize he was doing it at the time. Then the announcement goes up and he's showing me why.
It'll be thirty seconds. It won't kill me or Tali. And as far as what to take from this... Just the fact that they're doing it, really. Gonna go back to text for anything else, Joker.
no subject
[It's one thing to not trust the CDC and think that they'll go back on all their promises to keep their homeworlds safe, but it's a whole different can of bullshit to actually torture your own personnel, even if it's only for thirty seconds. The former, Joker expected; the latter, not so much.]
Just... ping me later or something, okay?
no subject
I will. I'll make sure you know I'm not dead.
no subject
and let me know if you need anything
painkillers. nanites. a kick in the ass. y'know, whatever.
A few hours later
Maybe I need you to kick your own ass. Do you actually have any sort of painkillers?
Re: A few hours later
not right at this exact second
FROM: moreau.jeffrey@cdc.org
but we have medics and i am a professional at harassing doctors, so give me like fifteen minutes and i should be able to scrounge something up
no subject
I'll nominate you for something. Sainthood. Do they do nominations for that?
no subject
how the fuck would i know
FROM: moreau.jeffrey@cdc.org
brb, going to harass a doctor
or whatever this anders guy is anyway
no subject
Mage. Healer. He actually does magic. I can't really explain it. But I've seen enough that I'll call it that now.
no subject
okay, cool, i really don't care what kind of bullshit sparklemotion he can do so long as he can pull a bottle of morphine out of a hat
no subject
I don't know what all Medical has at the moment. Don't push too hard, yeah?
no subject
don't worry, vakarian, i'll be professional and discreet
no subject
Somehow I'm not comforted by that.
no subject
i'm sure i have no idea what you mean
as an alliance officer i always conduct myself as befits my rank and station
something something dignity and respect etc etc
no subject
How many times have you stolen the Normandy now?
no subject
does the time i stole it from cerberus count
no subject
Half-points, since you weren't exactly acting as an alliance officer while working with them.
no subject
so then it's only 1.5 times that i stole the ship
that's practically respectable
no subject
You keep telling yourself that.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
Gonna rest my eyes. Let me know if anything pans out. Or if Anders sets you on fire. Either way.
