[Cue smash cut to a turian in your vents, Avagi. Or, rather, in some paneling, the light from her omni-tool casting brilliant light over a smoldering circuit.]

So while half of this place is gearing up to go play diplomacy, anyone think we should focus on fixing our half of the station?

[Or whatever section they're in.]

We've got mold, standing water, carnivorous plants and power failures. Not to mention who knows how many of our supplies got wrecked.

Maybe I'm out of the loop -- and I'll be glad to be wrong there -- but maybe we should get a handle on the systems on our side first.

Nah

Been a lot of things, but not that.

[nishizono]

it could be fun though. anarchists in space. it's like being pirates, but with more mayhem.

[nyx_it]

Pirates are never as fun as the vids make them out to be.

[nishizono]

yeah? i've never met a pirate, so i wouldn't know. what are they like?

[nyx_it]

Mostly?

Assholes.

[nishizono]

that bad, huh?

[nyx_it]

When they're attacking a bunch of colonists just trying to set up a farm?

Yeah. That bad.

[nishizono]

life's never fair, from what i heard.

people died, i take it?

[nyx_it]

You heard right. It's not.

And yeah, they did. They always do when pirates pop up.

[nishizono]

can't farm in peace, even in space. now there's a table runner quote worth a dollar.

i've never met pirates, but i've met telepaths. they're some of the biggest assholes i know.

[nyx_it]

You'd get rich off that one.

What, like mind readers? For real?

[nishizono]

fuck yeah i could use some money.

and yes. fucking telepaths. having them in your head is like someone pouring slime straight into your brain.

[nyx_it]

We've got asari back home. They mess around with your heads. But that's usually



consensual

[nishizono]

[ what is that word ]

so they ask your permission first before they mindfuck you? seriously???

[nyx_it]

Let's


say your mind isn't the only thing that gets screwed when you're with an asari

[nishizono]

[






give him a minute. ]


okay that was way too much information than i was expecting to get on that front EW.

[nyx_it]

Hey what can I say?

they're hot

[nishizono]

they're still getting their mental fingers all up in your brain

you're okay with that? because of the prospect of sex?

[nyx_it]

It's not that bad. There are a lot of worse things getting into brains back in the milky way

besides


sometimes it's fun

[nishizono]

like ice picks and bullets, i get that, but those are usually unwanted

how is it fun to have someone inside your head like that?

[nyx_it]

Not even like that. Like other brain
fuckery


look that's getting into
my uh
personal life

[nishizono]

take it as a hypothetical, then.

what's so nice about that kind of connection that you'd let someone root around inside your head?

[magneticfields]

Telepathy with the right person can be an intensely intimate and pleasurable experience, whether or not it includes physical intimacy as well.

[nishizono]

[ "intimate" and "pleasurable". words tetora has never had the experience of associating with telepathy. ]

so it's sex without the touching and all the feelings.


that sounds even less appealing. have you done that?

[magneticfields]

Well, if you include the touching that helps.

[ He is trying exercise a little discretion. ]

Yes. It's less enjoyable for all parties if you don't like each other.

[ He's known a few telepaths. ]
