[The video screen is dimly lit and the first thing that's shown on the feed is thick white letters N7. Then the camera moves further away and a huge red colored gun becomes visible to whoever might be watching. It's lying on a bed and a slim hand starts running over it.]

Well, this is getting close to being second worst mail system I've seen. Did anyone else find weird shit?[She wraps her fingers around the barrel and lifts the gun just a little bit, bringing the camera back to close so that the details can be seen.]

This isn't really my kind of thing, I'm afraid. It's kinda heavy for my liking and well. Distasteful? Anyway I'm sure someone else can get a good kick out of this thing. So, are there any gun or violence fanatics around? I could definitely be up for a trade. Don't worry, I swear I won't ask for much.

Oh-! [She says just before closing the video, as if she only now remembered something.] I'd also really appreciate it if someone with clever fingers that knows how to handle a needle and thread would sign up. That's all, dears.

... All right, what are you looking for? Trade-wise.

[Wouldn't it just fucking grind Nihlus' gears if she got her hands on that gun.]

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

Something useful? Different kinds of goods, luxury products, food.

The question is more about what you have to offer.

[nyx_it]

I've got a box of spare parts for components around here, a handful of homemade explosives...

As far as luxury goods? Depends on if you count medical supplies as "luxury goods".

[MY BRAND!!!!!!!!]

That's a Valkyrie Assault Rifle from the N7 Warfare and Tactical series. It was standard issue in my time.

What do you want for it, J?

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

Ah, can't say that matches my idea of luxury. I take it you don't have beauty products on you? Better mattresses or dresses? Or something that's less explosive.

[ Well. Time to haggle for on behalf of his girlfriend. ]

Hm, trade me that gun and I'll see if I can mix up something for your makeup stack? [ Because he does recall someone going around without her usual makeup a bit more often now. ] Might as well put the fabricator through its paces.

And I've got some sewing skills. What are you looking to make?

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

so its a gun? [Because that's all she got from that.]

you know me. what do you have to offer?

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

[Fuck yes! Finally something that she finds useful.]

Can you get a sample of that makeup first? It's always good to look inside of the gift horse's mouth.

I found some old stage costumes and fabrics from the storage. I was hoping someone could help with remodeling them.

You should get rid of it. It's too flashy, and that adds nothing to its tactical advantage.

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

I am getting rid of it, aren't I?

[shashka]

It's a good choice.

If you ever wanted a gun, simpler is always better. It serves the same purpose.

[skelepun]

that's hilarious. i know at least two people who are gonna be beating down your door for it, sweetheart. possibly three.

anyway

what do you need sewn, kid?

[squadgoals]

Yes, it's a gun.

[Of the things J could possibly want, she currently had in her possession... none of them.]

I could go on an alcohol run for you whenever you want. Door to door service. You don't even have to leave the comfort of your own bed.

[inconsequence]

Consider me interested.

[DEFINITELY trade the gun to the knife-wielding child. This can clearly only go well.]

[squadgoals]

It's a GREAT gun!

[shashka]

It'd be better without the giant "N7" emblazoned on it.

[ HE EXPECTED BETTER FROM YOU SHEPARD. ]

[squadgoals]

Not unless you're handing it off to me until you're trained in how to use it.

[inconsequence]

Then you can consider me interested in being trained.

[beautifulspaceraptor]

Well, tell me what you're looking for in makeup and I'll see what I can make, how about?

[ Nihlus inclines back in his chair with a hum. ]

Stage costumes? I don't see why not, I'm sure the fabricator can help with some of that too. [ Stretching his arms over his head he gives the woman a curious look. ] You planning on putting together some shows?

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

you know? i agree.

im not fan of guns in general but this monster is ridiculous. and ugly. the smaller handguns were more elegant. like in casablanca.

[squadgoals]

It's not that big.

[It's very reasonably sized! Tasteful!!]

It's my special forces designation and ranking. They made this model specifically for N7-ranked soldiers. It's an extremely well-balanced gun.

clothes.

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

considered

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

so you think me as a drunk, then? charming.

besides, dont you already have one of my guns in your possession.

[squadgoals]

Fine. Barter away, but if you end up with it, you give it to me,
and we work on getting you up to speed. Deal?

[Hmm]

Even if you don't, the training offer still stands.
