-- On the off chance that anyone on board the Normandy is receiving this signal? This is Garrus Vakarian.

[ The voice that flickers on in a burst of static sounds like it has some kind of effect added to it -- like there are two tones, speaking at once, a lower-pitched hum barely audible underneath a more normal sounding voice. To anyone in the know, that's a Turian voice. To anyone else, that probably just sounds weird as fuck. ]

Be advised that the channel is insecure. Requesting coordinates, as well as immediate pickup. We just got done saving the galaxy, and I could honestly do with a bit of a vacation.

But failing that. [ With a small sigh, because that shit is a long shot, focusing back on everyone else on the network. ] Has anyone taken a look around the ship, yet? It's -- not anything I recognize so far, but I'm no expert.

i won't argue that, but it is what it is. he's presently our most reliable source for information.

[ lol like arthur even bothered sifting through the majority of the post anyway ]

Nothing strikes me as familiar but from how the 'crew' is talking, it should not.

Same here. Most of the technology where I come from is close to this level but some of this stuff... I'm not sure what to make of it.

You've clearly never been in a car.

Many people just as lost as we are. We're a fine team.

I'm pretty sure a post-saving the galaxy vacation was part of my contract when I signed up. Oh, well.

We could be getting turned into goo in order to build a giant human-Turian-Quarian-machine hybrid as we speak.

Me neither. [ Though she may or may not have a mental picture now that's never going away. ] No luck getting in touch with our ship, huh?

The technology is pretty straightforward with a handbook, but it's way too advanced to be anything Earth's space agencies have come up with.

[ Not commenting on the "saving the galaxy" portion of this broadcast. If it's anything like "saving half of the solar system", Mace gets it. ]

[ the galaxy is bigger than the solar system and garrus clearly had the harder time!! ]

Doesn't look like any vessel I know, Alliance or not. Nothing else is familiar, either, and I can't say I care for what they've said about jumping.

[ SAME DIFFERENCE ]

Looks like it's not any vessel anybody knows. [ Which puts them all at a severe disadvantage but details, because it's not like they weren't disadvantaged already. ]

Alliance? That some kind of government where you're from?

[ audio ]

[scopedrop.livejournal.com]

[ look you saved half a solar system. there are many of those in a galaxy ]

Yes, but not mine. Human Systems Alliance.

I take it's different, where you're from.

[ Technically he hasn't saved it yet... but hey, whatever, you win. ]

You could say that. [ Explanations would be pretty useless, but yeah, no, it's different. ]

Some of it looks familiar to me.

[but without getting elbow deep in some of the complexes, Jim can't be sure.]

[scopedrop.livejournal.com]

That's a start.

Nice knowing that we aren't stuck on a ship that's completely foreign to everyone on board.

voice;

[in-three.livejournal.com]

Just most of us, from the sounds of it.

[not very promising, but, what can you do.]

Once I get a better look at the systems I'll be able to see if my theories have any basis, but this ship is unlike anything the Federation I know has developed as of yet.

voice;

[scopedrop.livejournal.com]

Still better than all of us.

[ BRIGHT SIDE, JIM! ]

It's unlike anything I know. I take it that the Federation would be your equivalent of the human Systems Alliance I'm more familiar with -- so this is a human vessel, after all?

[in-three.livejournal.com]

[Systems Alliance. he's heard something like that once already, and he frowns to himself as he tries to put it together.]

Yeah, I'd say it was.
