Liara had discovered the television that morning. While it was depressingly backwards technology, it did provide mental stimulation. She hadn't had to search far to find a documentary on Earth archaeology that captured her attention, even if it did not seem to be mentioning anything about the Protheans (to her great disappointment ( Read more... )

Unfortunately, it would take a lot more than the threat of losing funding to allow Britta Perry to be able to take this sort of fascist regime to take over, even if only for a week.
