Nursery Ship Arrullo, fourty years ago.

Rael:*rolls around in his bubble excitedly* Guys! Guys! I just got Shala and Col, now all we need is one more person and we'll have a full crew!
*Han clears his throat*
Rael: Yes, you can even be the captain this time too.
Han: *excited fistpump* Score!
Zaal: But who else can we get?
Shala: We can get that one girl over there...
*Across the room, a small girl in her own transparent clean 'tent' perks up slightly, a small pile of quarian K'Nex in her lap.*
Rael: Uh... I don't wanna hang out with her. She always makes these weird tinker toys and makes them follow her around. Let's go find Mari.
Han: Pssssh. You always play with Mari.
Rael: Well... *blushes* Mari's fun.
Han: Whatever, let's go get her. She's a good gunnery officer anyway.

*The small band walks off as the girl in the tent slouches slightly.*
Daro: Oh well. I don't need them... I've got you.
*Daro refers to her small band of three-inch tall tinker toys, some vaguely humanoid, others with wheels, tracks, and whatever pieces she could find in the bin. One of the more humanoid toys stands straight and salutes.*
Humanoid Toy: *in Daro's voice with an exaggerated falsetto* Yes, Chief Medical Officer Xen!
Daro: That's my loyal minion. Keep that up and you'll make Sergent in no time.
*Another toy with bulldozer tracks for legs and a vaguely humanoid -if oversized- body looks up to Daro.*
Bulldozer Orderly: *in Daro's voice with an exaggerated baratone* Chief Xen! One of your patients seems to be responding poorly to treatment!
*A toy a short distance from Xen struggles to flee due to it's newly attached, oversized arm roughly the size of the rest of it's body.*
Daro: Well, don't just stand there! *pats overturned toy box* Bring it to the operating room!
*The orderly quickly picks up the defective toy and unceremoniously hurls it toward the box. It overshoots the box, hits the edge of the tent, and bounces within Daro's grasp. She gingerly places it on the "operating table", then puts on a pair of goggles and retrieves a soldering iron and a screwdriver, holding one in each hand. The toy lays on it's back, struggling to stand up again.*
Daro: Well, you pitiful machine you. You may not like it now, but soon you'll be one of my best toys ever.
*Daro places the soldering iron on the toy's shoulder joint. It flinches.*
Daro: One day, I'll have all the best toys...

Fourty Years Later, Science Ship Alerei

Daro'Xen: *scanning through computer banks, then stops* Now what have we here...?

Normandy SR-2
*Shepard walks Legion back to the AI Core, when Legion suddenly stops*
Shepard: Is something wrong?
Legion: Some of my auxilury input processes suffered a momentary freeze in operation. Its is as if someone had activated my general garbage collection routine out of cycle.
Shepard: Uh... *rubs the back of his neck* in English?
EDI: It was as if someone stepped on his grave, Shepard.
Legion: *studders, then nods* An apporpriate metaphor.
Shepard: I've got a lot to learn about you, I guess....


D'aaaaaawwwwwwwwwwww. She's playing doctor. :wub:

It was the kind of day that freezes heatsinks, chills engine cores, and stalls air filters.

nice one NCL. See all we needed to to have more play pin time with young Xen and it would be all ok 40 years later!

I don't have the stones to do one.  I'd get all weird, I think.

Talking about sex, or writing about it, doesn't bother me. I take a very scientific, practical approach to it.

That makes it easy to go overboard though, which is why I don't.

And now I'm tempted to write an example.


By all means.

NEVER STIFLE YOUR CREATIVITY!

Unless it actually involves hurting someone...

In that case, make sure to use chloroform.

Wait 'till I get a hold of her.

If I'm doing it right, I'll have everyone crying at her name.

I'm either going to love this story,  or hate you for making me sad...or both.

Beautiful poster for what's going to be just. . . a god-awful movie.

Also, I see no Tali on the poster. That's Strike 1, movie.

“Tali!” I finally look up at Prazza, my finger already on the button. My wrist burns as I unleash the hacked guns. “Those solutions are all wrong!”

I turn back to the console in horror. The equations swim in front of my eyes, every detail mocking me. Was my error here? There? My suit feels unbearably hot. I’m dizzy. Squinting, I force everything into focus. No. No… the solutions are correct. Prazza’s the one making panicky mistakes. And it’s too late anyway.

Two of the hacked ships fail to fire. Another shreds itself, ancient systems coming apart under the load. Three more take so long to charge that the firing solution is completely useless. The rest, well, they work fine. Turian engineering: I hate to admit my respect.

The first two hits flash into vapor on
Viatrix’s barriers. The third blows an enormous cloud of spall from the hull, showing the shields are down already. Kinetic barriers have come a long way, apparently. Number four hits the exact same spot as the previous, followed by numbers five and six. Those two exit the other side. A waste of accuracy. We’re close enough to detect individual cooling bodies blowing out of the breaches.

The next three are grouped tight on the stern for some reason, knocking the ship on its axis. Stunningly, no breach. Damn, but they armored up back then. The next two probably would have blown the stern wide open, but they’re just glancing blows as the hulk rotates. Either way, it’s not going anywhere now.

The next clips the vessel’s chin, tearing a compartment off wholesale, and the last two drill it in the front quarter, going in deep at an angle. The
Viatrix lists, bleeding vapor, and someone behind me gives a triumphant shout.

“Too little, quarians,” the Primarch’s voice caresses the word like an unwanted lover. Alarms blare in the background on his channel, and I think I can hear a fire burning, but the hulk is still coming on like a bad dream. “And now I see you.”

“They’re spooling up for another shot!” Bru cries.

“Evasive maneuvers,” I order, too aghast to shout, trying to start an all-new hack. There’s never going to be enough time.

The
Viatrix is what saves us. By luck, we happen to be in its shade. One of the slugs, maybe number five or six, it doesn’t matter, kept on going. It must have hit the refueling station.

Capacitors there, holding all the static charge of a hundred ships for who knows how long, blow. Ancient safeguards and grounds fail disastrously, arcing electricity over huge reserves of eezo, touching it all off in an instant. Every ship in the fleet is backlit for a split second by white lightning, casting black bars of shadow into space as a hellstorm of unstable gravity fields ripples outward from the cataclysm.

I feel excitement at the idea, but it's the same kind that comes right before the huge drop of a rollercoster. It's going to be awesome, but it's gonna hurt. :P

Indeed.

Needs a title.

"Xen's Godawful Pilgrimage" doesn't really float with me.

Well, she is kind of a tragic character. She strikes me as the kind of creepy that comes from never having friends ever. And she's a little beyond getting friends nowadays to fix her, so she makes these Machiavellian ploys and world domination schemes in vain efforts to get someone -anyone- to like her, because she's the bestest robot engineer there ever was dammit! Maybe all she really needed was a hug.

Except b!tch threatened mah robot buddy and even managed to creep out mah robot-hatin' girlfriend, so she gots to die.

I shall endeavor to do so.

Xen's tale will be an exhibition of atrocity and pain.
