[Okay yeah he's even happy to see the mad scientist. What, the crew is the closest thing he had to a family, okay.] Huh. I honestly thought you'd show up sooner.

[dontingest]

Didn't pick time of arrival. Would have picked earlier if given opportunity. Or not at all. One of the two.

[popaheatsink]

When you figure out a way to wormhole us back out of here, let me know. At the very least, I'd say it's a nice vacation from the reapers-- except we've already managed to find other ways to get ourselves killed.

[dontingest]

Shepard's here. Only a matter of time before her crew gets into possibly lethal situations. Scientifically provable fact.

Still, good to see you. Won't have to worry about things going uncalibrated.

[hardheading]

...You're one of Shepard's new crew?

[dontingest]

Yes. Mordin Solus. Mentioned that in the initial signal. Should cancel that. Not quite as distressed as believed.

Implication is that you were also on Shepard's crew. Not female, not Asari, not Krogan, assuming Kaidan Alenko. Yes?

[hardheading]

You've done your research. [a beat] Uh - sorry. Yeah, Kaidan, that's me. Or Commander Alenko, Systems Alliance if you wanted to get more formal, but there's not really much point in bothering with that, here. I take it you've been filled in on the situation?

[dontingest]

More or less. Enough information to go off of as a baseline for further research. Shouldn't be too much of a problem. [sniff] Bit exciting, really.

[choseherownway]

Oh, you know Shepard? [a beat, and then a sigh]. Obviously you do, she's on this entry. Sorry, it's been one of those weeks.

My name's Lily. I've been here for some time, I hire Commander Shepard and her crew for jobs occasionally. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Solus.

[dontingest]

[oh hey look, he finally found some clothes]

Yes, pleasure. Professor Solus, by the way, Mr. Solus fine, also Mordin or Dr. Solus or simply Professor. Don't mind much. Any of it is fine.

Mentioned hiring Shepard. What type of work? Wetwork or recon or something entirely different? Just curious. Likely to be joining them sometimes.

[choseherownway]

[thank you jesus Lily looks fascinated by...pretty much everything about him, actually]

Oh, I run a business, and I sometimes need things delivered. Once or twice I've needed to be on a different planet, that sort of thing. Shepard could probably give you the details. [AKA she trusts Shepard, but she doesn't know if Shepard trusts this guy. She'll leave it up to the Commander, how much detail she wants him to know]

[dontingest]

Will have to ask her. Interesting what Shepard gets up to. Usually very unsafe things. Constant threat of danger, loss of life and limb. Mostly life. Limbs only occasionally. Never needed to sew limbs back on. Come close, with Joker. But never sewing. Only helping Chakwas with splints. Easier than needle and thread. [sniff] Never been much for handicrafts.

[hellodeadpeople]

What, are you all just falling out the fucking sky now? Took you long enough.

And where the fuck were you when we were all plague ridden and dying?

[dontingest]

Back on Normandy. Wouldn't have left you all to die otherwise. Terrible thing to do. Not doctorly at all. Couldn't conceive of it.

Seem to have gotten through okay. Not terribly concerned. Hope you're healthy.

[hellodeadpeople]

And what's the last thing you remember from the Normandy? This place does stupid stuff to timelines.

Joker bit the dust and came back as mutant freak that Shepard took out, but all in all, fine now.

[dontingest]

Beat Collectors. Destroyed Human Reaper, Collector Base. Shepard set off to Bahak System in Viper Nebula for personal mission. [sniff] Was finally getting through some of my backed-up research. Inconvenient timing.

Mutant freak? Unusual. No one mentioned that previously.

[likedillinger]

Wait, you're part of the Normandy crew too?

[dontingest]

Yes. Head science officer in charge of research. Crucial to mission.

[likedillinger]

Yeah, well your ship ain't here, though they've scrounged up a junky replacement.

Bite your tongue, Captain Winnifred. It's no hyped up Cerberus frigate but it could eat that hunk of shit you're calling flight worthy for breakfast. [ Only she can hate the Normandy III okay bro ]
