Mission 18


I think that maybe I sort of need to take a step back. Probably. Lately I seem to be getting into some really stupid situations that I could possibly have prevented if I had only...thought for a moment.

Like today. We broke into the asari embassy on Irune because they had an AI monitoring everything going on  at the turian embassy. Which is just...well, clever actually. But not so productive for us when we were trying to arrange for the volus fleets to secretly transfer resources to the besieged Palaven.

Anyway, we got caught in a gun fight with the AI while the geth and Luthien started a riot outside the embassy with the volus. I tried and I tried to sabotage the geth spitfire the AI was using...and it didn't work.
I got part of the AI back on the ship to analyze and spoke to K-QO - it turns out the AI was drawing on the base's power supply...
If I could have figured that out myself I would have just shot the damn thing with my Widow and not wasted time trying to sabotage it!

Add that to the whole stumbling around on the mass relay and almost dying...
Yeah. Maybe I need to start thinking things through a little more.

New rule. Rationality and reason must be the order of the day. I've been too sensitive lately, letting things get too close to home. Especially given that the Commander still doesn't trust me. It's so frustrating! I've tried and I've tried to be a part of this team but he insists on treating me like a liability and an outsider - unless he needs something.
Well, I'm done.

And while we were on the base? I managed to make a back door into the asari computer network. And I'm not going to tell the commander about it!

...Other than that I found a letter ordering the execution of President Tali'Zorah. I've forwarded that onto her as well. Not happening on my watch!

Letter to President Tali'Zorah

Hi President Tali'Zorah vas Normandy!

It's me. Aliya. Obviously.

Anyway, you probably heard about the situation with the asari and the turians. My crew is...taking measures... to ensure that the Turians won't die/starve to death or anything. Keeping some supplies flowing and stuff. But that's only prolonging the problem if we don't have another plan as well. The quarian fleet - especially if the geth dreadnoughts join in, RO7-K8 is messaging them - is the only one that really could stand up to the asari. So maybe if you offered to negotiate between them or something? Somehow got involved. That could help.

Let me know!
Thanks for everything,
Aliya'Irit nar Rannoch

Mission 17

So, I finally got to apologize to the Mass Relays, but not really.
Seriously, the Commander made me do it through K-QO and he still won't let me have the frequencies! He point blank said that it is because he doesn't trust me too. After all that I have done for this crew I expected...I don't know... More... Better... Different.
Anyway, I sent them my apology, and I have continued to attempt to contact them further.  Well, K-QO has been sending them for me. So that's kind of good.
I found out what Terryck wanted me to look into - Nienna's background. I know who she is know, but honestly, it's not a threat to the crew and none of his business. So I didn't tell him.

We have come up with a sort of plan - Palaven is in trouble and we hope to use the mass relays to prevent the blockade from leading to starvation and buy us a bit more time and then I'm going to write a letter to President Tali'Zorah requesting the aid of the quarian fleet in negotiating a peaceful alternative. Because really, the asari are just throwing a temper tantrum. It's kind of annoying.

Anyway, I should really write that letter. But then I want to get back to work on tactical cloaking. I'm pretty sure this invisibility thing could work.
