[For once in her life, Shepard has actually taken the time to properly encrypt something. It's still got a few holes in the code (she isn't an engineer), but it's a far cry more serious than her usual fare.]We have a problem and it's in Zone 08 ( Read more... )

Still hurts like a bitch, but it'll take more than a scrape to put me out of commission. When do you want to head out, Shepard?

Immediately.

There's other people going to check this out and I don't trust any of them as far as I can throw them.

Pack extra heatsinks. This could get interesting.

Got it.

Get you or one of the others to keep me updated on who's going in and out of the zone. Not in the mood for anything I don't already expect, which is as it stands, a hell of a lot.

I can get to the zone in less than a minute, expect me back at the base in one hour. Don't bother with a pick up if I'm not back by then.

Something tells me that'll only cause more problems. Trusting my gut on this assignment.

[Shepard sets up a feed to send him text alerts about people coming into the zone. Shall we assume this or is she gonna chat with him as he actions?]

Agreed.

You find something, get a sample if you can. If it is a bioweapon, I want Mordin on it an hour ago.

[Kasumi is talking rather quietly.]

Hey Shep. If you're talking about that creepy pillar thing I'm already halfway there.

[Curious thief is curious.]

[Oh fantastic, someone already en route.]

It's a creepy pillar? Fine. [That meant that it was a stationary object. Stationary objects that project brain-frequency disruptions? This sounded familiar. Shepard just scowls.]

Massani is headed in, stay out of his way.

Get as much on the lay of the land as you can. Samples if you can manage them.

Keep me posted.

Creepy pillar...thing. I don't know, I've been avoiding getting too close to it. Only been here half an hour. This whole zone feels weird now. Itchy almost.

[A little pause with only the barely audible sound of movement.]

You're the boss, boss-lady. I'll stay scarce and poke at what I can. Man.

I didn't think this place could get stranger.

I have been observing it. It is an odd artifact; I do not recognize the writing, and it does not appear to be Reaper, Collector, or Prothean in nature. However, I am also no expert on these matters.

...Something about it is. Distinctly unpleasant.

So far a distinct unpleasantness is the only thing everyone seems to agree on.

[For the first time in a long time, Shepard wishes she had an archaeologist on hand.

If this thing wasn't Reaper, Collector, or Prothean, it probably wasn't from their...universe. It might not be playing by the same rules, and that was a prospect she didn't like.]

If you note any changes, in it or the surrounding environment, let me know.

Of course. I will remain alert.

[Oh my god, Shepard, what is this. Let Motoko fix your code- we've got too many people here with high-level skills to leave holes in things.]

You're not hurting for volunteers.

You signing up or just here to point out the apparent?

I was under the impression that you'd be sending me in if you thought it was worthwhile. It's not my place to volunteer or otherwise.

[There's three teams in there, if her net-monitoring is accurate all focused on that pillar, or the results thereof. Motoko's experiencing symptoms from both the mechanical and biological side-effects. The net result is that...]

It's an explosion waiting to blow. [This is her tactical opinion. You probably don't want it.] The fewer the better.
