PART 2
“What the fuck are you doing Nihlus?” Saren asked furiously.
Nihlus blinked, his stance faltering. There must be something wrong with him because he could have sworn it was the woman that asked the question. It was her mouth that had moved but it was Saren’s voice he’d heard.
“Who the fuck are you?” He demanded.
The female turian’s mandibles dropped level with her lower jaw in confusion. “What the hell is wrong with you Nihlus?” It was Saren’s voice coming out of that mouth, only it was feminine (obviously) and lilting, pleasant even.

PART 3
The idea to scan her with his omnitool hit a moment later while they stared at each other. He told her to stand still and pulled up the interface, he then passed the ‘tool over her from head to taloned foot. Seconds later, the results beeped up at him but they were impossible.
Arterius, Saren. Special Tactics and Reconnaissance.
“What does it say?” She asked.
Nihlus glanced down at…him? No, her, it would be easier if he just thought ‘her’. “Your DNA matches Saren’s but I-“
“Ask me a question.” She ordered suddenly. “Something only Saren would know. Something private.”
Nihlus could see the logic in that and he took a moment to think of something. Not something too private because, in case the female wasn’t Saren, he didn’t give too much of himself away.
“A year ago,” He began. “We were in the Kelper Verge and we came across a slaver’s ship.”
“I said something private Nihlus, Spectre reports can be hacked. Spirits, I could hack them

PART 4
They sat together on the edge of the bed. Saren was holding her head in her hands, wrapped loosely in a blanket and still hissing obscenities. Nihlus just rubbed her back in small, comforting circles while he tried to wrap his brain around the fact his male lover was somehow female.
“I just…” He didn’t know what to say, it was the weirdest thing he’d even experienced and that was counting the time a hanar had hit on him. “Have you been anywhere unusual?”
Saren huffed an exasperated laugh. “We’re Spectres; unusual is in the norm for us.”
Nihlus accepted the point and moved on. “Have you…I don’t know, inhaled any strange gasses or powders?”
“No.”
“Eaten anything you normally wouldn’t?”
A silent shake of her head.
“Pissed off anyone that stands out?”
“The people I piss off don’t tend to live long enough to repay me.”
He accepted that too, Saren rarely left enemy survivors. “Well, something like this doesn’t just happen.”
“I know that!” She screamed in his face and the blanket slipped down, giving Nihlus a tantalizing

Love the start of this, I would vote for radiation or something like that. But I'll be delighted to read it no matter what, just to see how they deal with it. :)

A/N_ Remember, posting as I write and I'm slow. Also, so far we have 1 vote for radiation.
PART 5
In the end, Nihlus took a fresher sample of Saren’s DNA and left the Spectre laying curled up in their bed. Her sleep was fitful but it was still sleep and he knew this ordeal was mentally exhausting for the both of them. Nihlus himself was wavering between shock and hysteria. He couldn’t imagine what Saren was going through.
Just waking up female? How in the fuck does something like that even happen? Fucking…space magic or some shit?His thoughts followed the same pattern as he made his way to the Spectre offices to run every damn test and analysis he could think of. It would take hours to run all of them and he gave the sample to the technician there after giving strict instructions to message his omnitool with the results. He also left threats of a slow, painful death if the tech breathed a word to anyone about the identity of the sample

Oi, poor Saren..... he's really shaken up about all this and Nihlus is so discombobulated he doesn't know how to handle it either. The bit where Saren's talking about his dick missing and Nihlus can't do anything but laugh is both funny and sad because there's a lot going on in there.
This is damn lovley so far A!A, hoping it keeps going strong! (Also you already got my suggestion of the Prothean tech, so weeee)

OP_A!A Thanks for the comments guys! While the Anon above explored the funny and WTF-ness, I'm gonna focus on their relationship and how it changes. Because I can't do humor and there's so much to explore here I can't leave it unsaid.

Oi poor Nihlus... Saren too, they're both just so stressed out and messed up. Nihlus is gonna have a lot of time to spend alone in his bunk it seems...
