[Red isn't shy, but she doesn't like making a spectacle of herself unless it's a concert. Even still she's having a bit of a problem finding what she needs and so hopefully there is either a techie out there or a musician or a mix of the two.
Her smiling face appears on the feed with a wave of one hand (why yes, her nails are freshly painted just as bright red as her hair, thanks for noticing!)]
Hello, World.
I'm looking for a synthesizer board and cannot find one for sell. Is there anyone here who might be able to custom build one for me? What's it called on your worlds I can only guess.
[She thinks a moment, eyes cast to the side before looking to the TAB again.]
It's a board with programmable buttons that play the recorded sound to the beat you set. You can play back the samples and create music. I hope someone out there knows what I'm talking about!

[ Nihlus waggles his mandibles back her because, hello, he's gotta make first encounters with the Turian kind interesting for people, right? Also yes, he IS absolutely amazing looking, thank you. ]
Send your wish list over and I'll see what I can do. The final pricing and length of time taken will, of course, depend on complexity. Between the rendering and fabrication however, it shouldn't take more than a week. I'm happy taking payment in installments.
[ Welcome to the wonderful world of Eezo powered 3D printing. ]
If anything though, you're doing me a favor. It's a been a bit since I've had a project to work on.
[ Between the weather and how unpopular they were with the Savrites at the moment, business has been slow at the tech shop. ]
no subject
Red is happy to hear installments are accepted and also that the project will be worthwhile for him.]
Perfect!
Maybe you can come up with some impressive speakers for me too.
[...where is she going to put speakers in her miniscule tree house... she'll figure it out.]
no subject
Speakers would be no problem either, although you'll have to forward what kind of specifications you'd like for those too.
[ He's glancing off-screen and typing scheduling into his omni-tool for this already as is, though. Then, pausing in the middle of a sentence, Nihlus turns a curious look on her, eyes slanting in an avian smile. ]
Planning to hold a concert sometime there, friend? If so, I'm expecting invitations.
no subject
[Which she would like to say there won't be but she does love performing and already she's working on some songs. Red can't help but to laugh at herself, and she gives a heavy shrug and sigh.]
We'll see.
Is this the type of work you did back home?
no subject
No, no. Sorry. I just. [ A somewhat stilted smile. ] I mostly did politics. Or- well. Dirty work for politicians, if we're being more specific here.
no subject
I never intended to be! Sometimes people are just waiting for something new to come along, I think. Ha, as if I knew anything at all about politics.
What got you into politics?
no subject
[ He's awful charmed though. ]
Ah, well you see, my identity is unfortunately quite political, so it's... never really been a choice on my part. People of my background? Not usually welcome with the social circles I had to deal with.
It just happened to get a lot more political after my mentor took me under his wing.
no subject
[She's genuinely curious! Hopefully the questions aren't impertinent.]

The stripes on my face indicate my heritage. It's a practice done by a majority of my species' cultures. The main political party governing most of our space is known as the Hierarchy and I am- not Hierarchy. In fact, the colony I come from has had a long history of conforming poorly to their laws. An outlaw colony. A mercenary colony, essentially. One with a lot of ties to the Hierarchy's main opposition: the Separatists.
It's... a complicated and messy history that spans the entirety of our species' space-faring history.
no subject
When he takes a space of breath, Red sits up straight again.]
It sounds like it could be dangerous. Did you encounter humanoids like me in your space-faring?
Also is it weird or inappropriate for me to say I think your stripes are really neat?
no subject
Human-Turian relations started off pretty rocky though, if I'm being honest. About thirty years back, Humanity entered the intergalactic scene, activating an ancient piece of technology. An act that was outlawed long before by the Council, a multi-planetary body responsible for maintaining law and order for a lot of species in the milky way. It was outlawed because the last time this tech was activated, it nearly brought the apocalypse with it in the form of a new, aggressive alien species.
So, humanity commits a big no-no and the Hierarchy, the Council's main military support, went over to investigate, found the humans, assumed the worst. Which resulted in a short and brutal fight known as the 'First Contact War' or 'The Relay 314 Incident'. Depending on who you're asking.
[ Which is why his mentor is so murderously prejudiced against all of humanity.
Anyways, enjoy that info-dump, Red. ]
That's not inappropriate at all! In fact, considering the five hours I spend every few months re-painting all of this, I personally quite appreciate the compliment.
