So. I've started the lengthy process of getting a permit to carry a firearm here.[LIES!]

They're not quite what I'm used to, but similar enough to back home that I've adapted after some practice. The hitch comes from a bit of a...disability on my part. [Like being an ALIEN.] I'm curious if the newcomer community boasts any gunsmiths who might be ( Read more... )

Where's back home on your end?

[Voice] ive_got_reach October 21 2010, 07:05:46 UTC

About four hundred years or so in the future. It's a bit of a culture shock coming back. What about you Miss...?

girlyboywonder October 21 2010, 07:07:55 UTC

Four hundred-- you're shivin'. Gotta be.

--And, uh, Robin's the name. No Miss.

[Voice] ive_got_reach October 21 2010, 07:09:23 UTC

Shiving? That something like fibbing? [He sounds amused.]

Sadly no, I'm not. When I come from, space travel is common.

Robin it is then. I'm Shepard.

[permavoice] girlyboywonder October 21 2010, 07:15:35 UTC

Uh. Yeah. Fibbing.

So, 2400? Figure I can hang on that long to see it, if I gotta.

[Voice] ive_got_reach October 21 2010, 07:20:29 UTC

I must be getting senile, can't do math. [He chuckles.]

2185. So more like a hundred and seventy years from now. That's...a big number to get wrong, sorry. [Sheepish Turian is sheepish.]

girlyboywonder October 21 2010, 07:23:45 UTC

Even better. [sounding juuuust a little excited here] Figure that's an easier wait than 400. How far've you spuds been by then, anyway?

[Voice] ive_got_reach October 21 2010, 07:26:27 UTC

Close to the twenty-one hundreds in your time then?

Spuds? [There's that amused tone again, dry and slightly sardonic.]

Oh you know, around most of the known Galaxy.

Re: [Voice] girlyboywonder October 21 2010, 07:29:24 UTC

Just 2027, but I can wait. And spuds, that's -- uh, slang. Sorry.

[pause] ...Gotta be shivin'. What's out there? We find anything good?

Re: [Voice] ive_got_reach October 21 2010, 07:34:19 UTC

Not that long if you're still young.

Lots of good and bad really. Alien species, new technology, ancient civilizations...and a race of murderous robots that cleanse the galaxy of life every million years or so.

[Reapers. He hadn't even really thought about them since arriving here...but the truth was if this was the same Galaxy...they were still out there, hanging like the sword of Damocles.]

Re: [Voice] girlyboywonder October 21 2010, 07:47:45 UTC

[looooong pause here. that's half ridiculously awesome and half... what?]

...How're they a race if they're robots?

Re: [Voice] ive_got_reach October 21 2010, 07:59:11 UTC

They're self-aware, sentient, all that good stuff. With a healthy hatred for organic life.

Re: [Voice] girlyboywonder October 21 2010, 08:00:04 UTC

So who built 'em?

Re: [Voice] ive_got_reach October 21 2010, 08:12:53 UTC

That we don't know yet. Right now they build themselves, out of the races they conquer and destroy. We don't know who built the first Reaper.

Re: [Voice] girlyboywonder October 21 2010, 08:19:41 UTC

...And, uh, when do they figure on showing up, exactly?

[Voice] ive_got_reach October 21 2010, 19:29:52 UTC

Around my time is when they started making themselves known again. Full scale invasion?...well we all hope it's not going to come to that.
