You know what I was just thinking? "It would be great to visit a creepy, mostly abandoned colony right now." Because the first several times we had to answer a distress call or had a mission that took us to these outposts weren't bad enough.

That's not really why I'm typing this up. Correct me if I am wrong but it looks like most people here are human. That's a little bit of a problem for me. Love humans, honestly. Some of my close friends are human.

The whole "we evolved on levo-amino acid-based biospheres" is the deal-breaker. I can't exactly eat levo-based food. Well I could but I'd prefer a better death than that. So what I'm trying to ask is if there is, possibly, any alternatives.

I mean I'd really like to not starve if that's possible. Just throwing that out there for consideration.

Comments

Are you up for sharing a little more than that or...?

[dothelokimotion]

We live for millennia and were once worshipped by humans as gods.

Our home no longer exists though. As a species, I suppose we would be considered endangered.

[dispenserofjustice]

Mine's in pretty bad shape so I can sympathize with that much at least.

Not really my place to comment about the worshiping though. I think that is just what happens when a more advanced civilization comes into contact with a primitive one. At least that's what it seems like sometimes.

[dothelokimotion]

That was the case. We haven't followed up on it in centuries, but the stories linger.

[dispenserofjustice]

Making a significant impact on a civilization and that will happen. For us the Asari talk about the Protheans like they had been a noble and intelligent people. Then the Hanar take it to the next level and pretty much worship them.

But to live for that long. Don't you get bored?

[dothelokimotion]

Not particularly. I don't spend that much time with mortals and when the people you associate with also lead long lives, the threat of boredom is not so strong.

Besides it is a wide universe. How can one be bored?

[dispenserofjustice]

That only works if you like spending time around them. Can't say that I'd want to hang around for eons with a bunch of people that get on my nerves or don't know how to have a little fun.

[dothelokimotion]

Considering how limited we are, I do not think we have those kinds of nerves to work over anymore.

[dispenserofjustice]

You'd think that but some people just don't care.

[dothelokimotion]

Perhaps.

But in this, we were united.

[dispenserofjustice]

A shame that it takes some major crisis or the threat of extinction for everyone to finally start to get along.

[ loki almost protests more, but bites his tongue. why is he defending asgard? it's not like he'll ever go back. either way, this seems like garrus' hiccup than his own. ]

Is that not usually the case?

[dispenserofjustice]

[ Likely a fair statement. If people had listened when they had first started talking about Reapers then maybe they would have been more prepared. ]

I would like to think that somewhere out there that people are better than that, yeah.

[dothelokimotion]

Why though?

It seems as though you are more willing to believe the opposite.
