[ The voice that addresses the Link is vaguely masculine, but unmistakably synthesized in origin. It has about as much personality as Microsoft Sam, which helps hide the geths... 'Anxiety' isn't the right word, but it's close. ]

We are seeking methods of off-world communications. We cannot locate FTL communication networks, accessible or otherwise, at this time.

[ Which, for the geth, is a rather big deal.

There's a tiny, barely perceptible pause, then; ]

Crew of the Normandy, please respond. We are requesting immediate evac.

[ Someone please be monitoring this channel... EDI? Anyone? ]

Me? Oh, I'm Kay!

You sound like you're lost.

[cohesions]

We are aware of our surroundings, as well as the basic mechanics behind our arrival and the political climate of this colony.

However, we do not know how to leave, and we have not found a viable method during our investigation of the public network.

Audio

[littlecrowgirl]

Oh...well I got some bad news Mister...

We can't exactly leave. Not yet, anyway...

Audio

[cohesions]

We have been told there are no ships or similar methods of spaceflight present. Is this true?

Audio

[littlecrowgirl]

Ships? No...they're talking about building some...but no. No ships.


...Who's this 'we'? Are you with someone?

Audio

[cohesions]

We are geth.

Audio

[littlecrowgirl]

Nice to meet you Geth.

[Wait.]



...You're both named Geth?

That's not very creative...

Audio

[cohesions]

We are a species of connected artificial intelligences forming a gestalt intelligence.

This terminal is known as Legion.

I have no idea what you just said.

But it's nice to meet you, Legion!

Audio

[cohesions]

Do you require further explanation?

Audio

[littlecrowgirl]

I get the feeling my brain will break if you try.

So...Legion is it?

Audio

[cohesions]

Yes.

Audio

[littlecrowgirl]

What's your location? I can meet you!

Audio

[cohesions]

We are currently located in Alpha Trion's temple.

Audio

[littlecrowgirl]

No way! That's where I am!!

Just...stay right there! I'll find you!

Audio

[cohesions]

[ Legion croaks. ]

Acknowledged.

Action

[littlecrowgirl]

[And she's off!

Okay so maybe it takes a little longer to get there than expected, so Legion'll be there for a good few hours...


BUT LOOK, SHE MADE IT. And boy are her arms tir-no that joke doesn't work here. She prowls the halls of the temple, passing by her room and towards the shrine, only to find him. Or...what she thinks is him.]

...Are you a lamp.

Re: Action

[cohesions]

[ Legion is very good at waiting. It stands, almost perfectly still, the entire time it awaits her arrival.

When she does, it turns to look at her, optic flickering curiously. ]

No.

Re: Action

[littlecrowgirl]

[Oh you so are. She hurries up to him, standing on her tiptoes to peek at that optic, hands behind her back. She knows not to just reach out inspect. Not yet anyway.]

But you have a shiny eye like one!
