Sounds like one of the Civilization games, but can you please be specific?

« on: December 14, 2011, 05:04:21 pm »Must be. I'm offline and can't connect to the cloud servers, but I can surf the store and just received update news. How strange.Either that, or you're one of the ~33,000 who still can use it for some odd reason. (that's about 3-4 million who can't).Steam is down, so I can't chat it up with my buds, damnit.Must just be the chat servers. I'm currently downloading something at my normal speed.
Or yeah, chat servers. Still sadnending.

True, ED:SR has quite a few jump scares, but as sanity decreases there are a number of genuinely scary and subtle things happening. Pretty landscape paintings turn into barren wastelands with dead people in them, the walls may start bleeding, stuff like that.

Quarians were none to skilled at reading facial cues, and Wash was worse than most. He could read body language fairly well however, and right now he knew that the batarian who had just come over was not very happy. Specifically, she appeared to be angry about something either he or Samane had done.
Well, in situations like these, the most sensible option (according to his natural temperament) was to fall back until he could try and figure out what was going on. He made his excuses and walked away, ostensibly to refill his drink. From a distance, it seemed likely that Samane was the source of the batarian's current mood. Wash wondered briefly what the reason was, but he had never met many batarians before and didn't know their species well enough to guess. He'd heard rumors of slavers, of course, but it was highly doubtful that a slaver could be employed on an IA vessel.
Wander a bit and wish that dinner would get started

"Well, to be honest, in the earliest days of the Migrant Fleet, my people would show up and basically demand supplies. This was shortly after the Geth uprising, so we still had some sympathy. We kinda threw that away; we weren't expecting to be wandering for so long."
He listened to Samane's story and question. "It's...not uncommon. There's the Pilgrimage, which I'm sure Tilana or Shua told you about. That can take years, and not all of them choose to or can get back. Sometimes entire ships will leave for a time, often to gather or buy some resource. And of course there's our relationship with the IA. For post-Pilgrimage individuals to leave, it usually implies an important mission or criminal behavior."
((So how far ahead is this from the ME storyline?))
((Also, going to bed. 4 am here D: ))

((So was I.

"I guess there are worse types of parentage. It sounds to me like it worked out quite well in your case, regardless of the reasoning behind it. If nothing else, I'm sure your father had some interesting stories." He sipped from his own glass. "My mother and father were both life support technicians. It's one of those boring-yet-vital jobs in every society. I think they were actually relieved when I decided to follow my own path rather than take up after them."
"I would love to see Ilium some time. We were warned not to go there alone due to just those rumors, but that shouldn't be a problem if we visit." He nodded a couple of times, one of the best ways for a quarian to show agreement. "I'm actually pretty excited. An IA vessel can go to all sorts of places that wouldn't allow pure Quarian ships."

"Well, what was life like on the Asari worlds? Who were your parents?"
The Flotilla was almost never allowed to visit Asari space, so Wash was quite curious about them.

"Oh yes," said Wash, placing a sterilized drinking tube into the glass. "We shared the same room last night."
He paused.
"Erm, not that way, of course. We're colleagues. Besides, I just met her, and, um..."
Just shut up, you bosh'tet!, he thought to himself.
"Thank you for the drink."

"Nothing, really," said Wash. "It seems you beat me for 'newest member' status by less than a day; I just joined up myself. Shuttle pilot."
He shrugged. "Go figure, I believe, is the human expression."
