People are so selfish and can only understand bad things happening when it happens to them.

Reposted with alt text. Also, from a cursory look, this appears to basically be true, which is pretty funny. Philosophers... debate.

"Hello. Rhan."
She responded calmly, but visibly awkward.

"...I am looking forward to get to know you, but - full disclosure - I do not know why I was assigned here."

With a mix of surprise at the other one manually opening the door and hesitation as to how to reach the scientist slowly nodded and followed the other in.

Rhan @counsellorrhan.bsky.social · Jun 25

Smiling as they received her text, Rhan stood up and walked to their door and opened it.
"Hello Preeya, welcome. Would you like to come in for a chat?" They stood aside to allow her in to their office.

Announcing herself with a text message to the other, Preeya stood in front of their closed doors.
Truth was, the ever so oblivious scientist was not sure /why/ she had been sent here in the first place, but she was looking forward to meet her new peer regardless.

"Me being the first to pick up on that does not exactly advertise my shipmate's attention span..."
She musingly mumbled before looking up at her peer again.

"...I can not find any service records or academic credentials to your name.
/Humour-things/ aside, what ships did you serve on?"

She casually nodded while mirroring him and taking a seat. There would be time to ponder the probability of anyone going by 'nar Rannoch' later.
In the meantime she took the pad in front of her and gave it a quick re-read.

Ingok'Neeto nar Rannoch @totallynotageth.bsky.social · Jun 24

"Nar Rannoch," Ingok nodded, as if to reinforce the point. "Even unlikely things have a chance to be true."
He leaned back in his chair, a gesture he had excessively practiced in his goal to mimic organic life.
"You know, I think you're one of a very few who have ever taken notice my designation."

.·:*¨¨* ˢᵗᵃʳˢᶜᵒᵘᵗ *¨¨*:·. @spiritusastra.bsky.social · Jun 23

With her gaze hovering over the other scientist's personnel file, Preeya leaned a little forward in her chair audibly exhaling.

"/Nar Rannoch?/...
Unlikely.
But you have my attention..."

People arguing wether Shepard in the amazon series should be maleshep or femshep, and im like "I dont want the protagonist to be Shepard. Set the story in the ME universe but talk about the First Contact War, or the Rachni Wars, Krogan Rebellions, the Morning war, etc"

I’ll never understand nationalistic pride. Why be proud of that one thing that’s so clearly not up to you?

"Of course. That would be my pleasure.
Do you think there is other Rachni out there that have not yet been discovered?
Maybe some that have been spared from extinction during the Wars?"

Rachni Queen @rachni.bsky.social · Jun 25

"I appreciate that," Rachni admitted. "I think it would be a death sentence if I showed myself. I am not even comfortable wandering the ship while we're near this place. If you would be so kind, would you keep an ear out for any talk of other Rachni for me? I'm looking for more of my kind."

.·:*¨¨* ˢᵗᵃʳˢᶜᵒᵘᵗ *¨¨*:·. @spiritusastra.bsky.social · Jun 22

"Agreed."
She quietly responded while preparing her gear.
"Omega is widely known as pilgrim trap at best, death trap at worst.

"I assume neither of us two will be particularly welcome, you supposedly less than me.
If you would like to stay here, I can do your part - with your instructions."

She tilted her head and gave the child an (invisible) musing look.

"I would not necessarily call challenges scary.
You do well being aware of dangers, but never let that outweigh your curiosity and joy of discovery..."

Emerald @emeraldgeth.bsky.social · Jun 27

Emerald excitedly returned the gesture and fist bumped Preeya.
"I hope so! My father says that our lives will be filled with challenges! Scary right?"

.·:*¨¨* ˢᵗᵃʳˢᶜᵒᵘᵗ *¨¨*:·. @spiritusastra.bsky.social · Jun 23

She gave the child a nod, then offered her hand in their direction for a friendly fist bump.

"I am certain you will become more cunning with your challenges."
