Sorry it's taken so long. I was kind of busy for a while. Now I'm just bored. I can't go out on missions or anything anymore and the whole crew is off doing things and I'm stuck here until I can prove I'm a competent marksman because the Commander told me I had to pretend to be bad!!!
It's not fair.
It's all because I died. I mean, not really. Obviously. Since I'm still here. Cornelius actually died.
I just...had to pretend. Too many people were trying to kill me and the enemy - the council and/or whatever else is working with them - isn't putting any of its plans into data anymore because they're too scared I'll hack it. Which kind of defeats the purpose of me being a good tech and having access to their plans.
So I decided to die. It actually wound up being kind of complicated because Fenris was oddly opposed to the idea. The Commander had to talk it down (I really don't know how he did that but since Fenris got through that scrape without being shot in the head I'm grateful).
I disappeared, and reappeared as Ariel'Chaya nar Rannoch, a quarian engineer that blended in with the many others refitting our ship and bolstering our crew.
Somehow though everything went really wrong after we landed on Rannoch. Cornelius was assassinated and someone tried to damage our ship. When I tried to track down the people responsible I stumbled across a salarian STG team.
I - I scanned them and they noticed and they opened fire on the surrounding city. They didn't know where I was, but there was a lot of buildings and innocent people that got caught in the cross fire. My crew showed up after a bit and we took down the salarians. I managed to capture two alive.
Terryck was helping me bring one back when he dropped the salarian and ran away... I found out later his family is in danger, so I guess that's fair.
I asked another crew member I saw to help me take the salarian into the interrogation rooms. He said that he would help, pulled out a gun, and shot the salarian in the head! He said that's how the commander usually deals with these things. ARGH! It was so frustrating. And then apparently there's this other quarian who's pretty full of himself and was asking who I was and why I had my own room and he told the commander I'm not doing well enough at being undercover. I guess K-QO intercepted a transmission saying that I was still alive as well.
Which leads to my current problem. I'm bored. I've been stuck on the ship. The commander actually reacted to all of the above better than I expected. He has agreed to give me some autonomy to ensure that incidents like the one with the salarian don't happen again. But he's also getting me to "work" on my skills with the new quarian. And I'm all for this guy teaching me hand to hand combat, but having to pretend to learn how to shoot from someone? That's frustrating. And stupid. It means I've had a lot of time to work on my projects though. And a lot of time to research the council and their actions.
Terryck's had me doing background checks for him as well, which at least helps me feel useful. I feel bad I can't help him...
Anyway, back to work. I've been making good progress on K-QO's new chassis.
