If anyone has found a model space ship, or something that looks like a model, in their mailbox in the past month, please let me know!

Thanks!

I'm a little concerned by your phrasing. Something that looks like a model?

[squadgoals]

They're definitely models! Some of them just don't look like ships.

[ryuuzaki]

That's a relief.

[He doesn't know what it says about what his life has become that he can't completely rule out the idea that someone might have found a way to shrink down a full-sized ship. It's an absurd idea, but he still has to be open to the possibility. Even so, the one he received seems to be inert, so if the improbable had turned out to be the case, at least there would have been no concern that the crew had also been shrunken down to match.]

What do the others look like?

[squadgoals]

[Damn. What are they.]

Most of them are just models of existing fighters and spacecrafts. But one looks like a kind of torpedo shape that opens up like a flower, and another looks like a bug.

One kind of looks like a big round ball.

[ryuuzaki]

[He sends a still image along with this, of one that looks like a ship.]

I didn't get one of the more unusual ones. Did you build these? Your name is on it, I believe.

[squadgoals]

That's the Quarian ship! It's a little unusual, but not as weird as they can be.

From a kit, but yeah, I assembled it. Wrote my name on it because I didn't want to lose them twice. Glad I did.

[ryuuzaki]

I don't know how I ended up with it: it was in my mailbox.

You can certainly have it back if you want it, but I have to admit that I'm interested in its origins. "Quarian ship" doesn't mean anything to me.

[squadgoals]

Who knows. Last month, I got my hamster in the mail. Anything's possible.

A Quarian ship is a bit of a misnomer, since generally, they tend to live aboard ships they've repurposed, but the model you have is a rare exception to the rule — it's an example of one of their original cruiser class military crafts.

If you're honestly interested, it's all yours though!
