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!

[Sup mail system thanks for sending the worst ship to the worst person.]

Just like that. Thanks, Nihlus, I'll mark it off the list.

[Oh, yes, this was just the nightmare ship he saw before arriving on the Moira that was apparently responsible for his mentor's Indoctrination and possibly both their deaths. Nothing awkward there.

Fortunately, Nihlus finds the irony somewhat amusing more than anything else. After the initial vexation, anyways.]

You know, it's almost cute when it's this small.

[squadgoals]

[His reaction is a relief, but it doesn't stop her from feeling guilty. The Moira just did not seem to want to give Nihlus a break.]

Not sure I'd call it "cute", but... I think I get your meaning.

Want me to take it back, or did you want to keep it?

[Maybe pack it next to your Saren headscarf for a real one-two emotional suckerpunch?]

[beautifulspaceraptor]

Hah, no. I'll just end up painting something rude all over it and I think your craftsmanship deserves a bit more love than that.

[And by 'rude', he means lovingly rendered alien genitalia.]

I'll drop it off next shift, how about?

[squadgoals]

Ha! I'll even lend you the brush.

[fuck reapers]

Sounds good to me. How's the fabricator going, by the way?

[beautifulspaceraptor]

[Don't tempt him, Shepard, he's seriously considering it.]

It terrorized Tali and I with a wrench once, but other than that, the hardware is coming together on schedule.

[squadgoals]

Terrorized with a wrench? How? Did it eat one, or fabricate one menecingly?

[beautifulspaceraptor]

Well, we were trying to get the mass effect field to wrap properly and the thing yanked a wrench off our work table. Thought it'd been safe distance away, but nope.

Fortunately, we limited its power supply so it never achieved any horrifically dangerous velocities.

[squadgoals]

Lucky — or just safe and smart.

Think I'll stick to my omni-tool's mini-fab. What are you guys looking to make first?

[beautifulspaceraptor]

I mean, I COULD make a meter tall hyperealistic sculpture of Niko's beautiful, stubbled face.

[He's sure Tali would appreciate that.]

But I think we'll conserve ship resources and just make the spare parts instead.

[squadgoals]

Vetoed. Bust of Niko. On the double. They've got a private room now, Nihlus, and we haven't even brought them a housewarming gift.

[beat;]

Roomwarming gift. Whatever.

[beautifulspaceraptor]

Oh.

My goddess.

You are right. I will get on this immediately once the fabricator is done.

[squadgoals]

That's what I like to hear! No opportunity wasted.

Make sure his eyes are smoldering appropriately.
