Commander, there is a message on the network that will interest you.

voice;

[2leftfeet]

[Is this one of those 'don't make threats of bodily harm without coming to me first' moments? Shepard mentally prepares herself for the worst, but takes the time to throw out a quick note of...thanks?... in the interim.]

I'll take a look.

[That's totally a 'thank you.']

[battlesleep]

I have offered my aid to the Gunnery, as I believe I can be of use there.

They may ask you as to my qualifications. It will be under the name Tannor Nuara.

text;

[2leftfeet]

Noted. Garrus has contacts in Gunnery if you need a more reliable secondary ref.

[Joking. But also totally not joking.]

[battlesleep]

I will speak to him on the matter as well. I would prefer to be better informed on the situation - the collection of people aboard this ship is not one I am comfortable with working with closely without more knowledge.

[2leftfeet]

[See: why Shepard mostly sticks to working with her own people.]

Most of them seem solid, but they're in the same position as us. Anyone can say anything about themselves and there's no way to fact check anything. I can say I'm the Queen of the Citadel with a trained Thresher Maw as my second in command and no one would know I was bullshitting them.

Any recon on the people is going to be at least fifty percent garbage.

[battlesleep]

I cannot imagine why they would disbelieve me.

I am generally good at sifting through the garbage, but it is true that it will be a difficult task here.

It seems everything is.

text. been waiting for this day and then i forget haha

[brainsqueeze]

Good mission?

story of my life tbh

[2leftfeet]

Not ideal, but what is. So sure.

[brainsqueeze]

Good.

[ There is also a bunch of other things she could ask and would like to know but she is guessing there may be a report. Or she'll just ask for face time and get it herself ]

I met with Todd and Grimm. Should be good to go next time.

[2leftfeet]

Noted. Am prepping a debrief for the comm on 23, should have the basics up in a few hours.

[brainsqueeze]

I'll look forward to it. What's 23?

I am willing to work with 031 » 121 (Remus Lupin) providing anyone he brings along with him is vetted properly. I am not willing to work with SEC » 005 » 078 (Sirius Black) or be part of a working environment in which I will have to spend any time within so much as his eyeshot. I would like to caution you against involving Black or heeding any of his advice or suggestions. He is insubordinate, violent, and a danger to anyone made to work with or alongside him.

I will not waste your time ransoming my involvement, but this is a grave matter from my perspective and you deserve to hear it directly.

[2leftfeet]

[Oh for the love of--]

If I put him on communications, he'd be closer to home but from the sound of it you wouldn't recommend Black for field work either.

[darkart]

Not on any team you value the lives of.

[ He realizes this is a pain in the ass for her to deal with. But all grudges aside, Severus really and truly does believe Sirius is a liability. He's put in too much work with Shepard to let it go and watch the idiot get someone killed or have him sabotage reports because it's 'funny'. ]

[2leftfeet]

So no field work then.

[No questions asked.]

If I have you strictly on research and development and you're willing to work with Lupin, then could Lupin act as the go between from you to communications if I stick Black there? I'll have Hill keep tabs on Black so if he runs his mouth or tries to start any trouble, she'll axe him.

[darkart]

[ Later, Severus makes sure Shepard is included in this, so everyone is on the same page. He doesn't include any other commentary, just forwards it. ]

[suddenlycaptain]

You notice anything odd right as we woke up during the jump?

permatext;

[2leftfeet]

I thought someone was outside my stasis chamber. Other than that: no.

Why?

permatext;

[suddenlycaptain]

So did I.

Because I've been feeling it when I've been waking up, too.

[2leftfeet]

Anyone specific or just more of the same sense of someone watching/being in the area?

[Probing questions so she's not the first one to admit to being crazy for 500.]

audio; have some carolyn freaking out

[suddenlycaptain]

Shepard. Shepard. This is Fry -- if you get this, reply, damn it.

not here

[2leftfeet]

[No static, no return transmission, no sign the message was received. Wherever Shepard is, it's either not accessible by comms or she doesn't have the means to get a line back.]

voice, private.

[kutte]

[ there's a long pause before jax starts speaking, then he just sighs. ]

Get your ass back here, Shep.

not here

[2leftfeet]

[No answer. Typical. But if the message somehow reaches her, she'd probably appreciate it.]
