"((Haha, it's fine~! Thanksgiving was great! How was yours?))

When Juun entered the kitchen, he was greeted to a sight to behold. Shepard was in the kitchen. He still wore his uniform, which was in and of itself an offensively bright pink. Shepard had then added a chef hat to the ensemble. What's more, he had what seemed to be a katana. And some fish scales on his chin.

"Hey there." Shepard said to Juun. One of the cleaning staff, Flona Salvinius, tossed a Kar'shan snapping eel at the Spectre, who deftly cleaved it in half. The bisected remains landed on the counter behind Shepard, who had lined it with a bunch of plates for catching the fish. The whole setup was pretty thorough.

"I'm practicing with my new equipment." Shepard said. A Prejek paddle fish was fileted. "And making lunch. Want to help? Flony, you need a break?"

"Although Shepard probably couldn't see it, Juun'Reyan was unable to suppress his subconscious smirk. Whether it was because of Shepard's outfit or the fact that he was using a katana to create alien sushi was up for debate, and it was possible that both reasons were the answer. "I was just wanting to know what kind of Dextro food we had, but sure..." He replied, figuring it was probably a good idea to spend time with one of the people that would more than likely be part of his new crew."

"Chevek's car

Chevek followed the Salarian and said. " There aren't very many questions that I have currently, and the one that I do have could only be answered be one of your superiors. Since I already have been to the Citadel a few times before."

Kahlief's car

Kahlief followed the Human and said. "I heard that there is a lake near here. Can you take me to it later?"

"Chevek

"Well that's a shame that I can't answer your question. Feel free to ask the General or his officers when they have time. And it's good that you have been on the Citadel before. Makes things easier. Anyways, we're here.", the Salarian said as he parked his car near the entrance of the living quarters. He got out and walked up. He went up to Odis, the Hanar attendant, and said,"Odis, I got a another member here, the Batarian named Chevek. I'm busy otherwise I'd take him to his quarters myself. Could you please handle him? Thanks.", he said.

"Very well, this one will do what the Salarian says.", Odis responded the Salarian, who took what Odis said and then walked back to his car, got in, and drove off. Odis turned to Chevek,"Hello Batarian Chevek. This one's name is Odis. If the Batarian would be so kind to go to these quarters with this key to your quarters. This one is too busy, otherwise it would directly help you to your quarters. If the Batarian has any questions, please direct to this one.". The Hanar gave Chevek the directions to his quarters and his key.

(the key is more like a code, not the keys we're used to real life. While I assume others would assume this, just clarifying)

Kahlief

"Sorry Kahlief, I'm too busy to help you find this lake. Zytex is having us run all over the place taking care of tasks to get ready for the meeting. You'll have to ask the General himself, his officers, or Odis to help you. I'll ask Odis to give you a map of the surrounding area to help you out. Though I recommend you stay with one of Zytex's people or stay in task force related areas like the quarters. People typically hate Vorcha. Well we're here, Kahlief. Follow me.", the Human said as he got out of his car and walked up to Odis. The Human talked to Hanar,"Hello Odis. I know you're busy, but I got the Vorcha Kalief Sargin here. As you've probably heard, many of us are too busy to help the people we bring in find their quarters. So could you please help him? Also, please give him a map of the surrounding area. I don't think he's been on the Citadel, especially the Citadel.". He looked at the Hanar for a response.

"This one dislikes how rude Vorcha can be, but it will accept the Human's request. You may leave.", Odis said to the Human. The Human left to his car, got in, and drove off. The Hanar turned to Kahlief,"Welcome Vorcha Kahlief Sargin. This one goes by the face name Odis. This one is also too busy to help you find your quarters, but here is the location of your assigned quarters, your key to it, and map of the surrounding area as requested by the Human. Feel free to ask this one any questions the Vorcha may have.". He then gave Kahlief to mentioned items.

(I'll let you make of this situation as you will)"

"Shepard fileted a fish fabulously in mid-flight. The blade was indeed good for cooking. He had enough fish for the sushi, so he sheathed the blade, a glow emitting from the holster as he did so. He began to assemble the sushi using rice.

"I'd help you look, but...Fish." He said. "What do you do in your spare time? Play any video games?" Shep asked."

"Garrus Vakarian walked up to the entrance of the Citadel's task force. "Well, this is the place. I hope Shepard and the others are here already.", Garrus said to himself. The Turian walked up to the front desk and said to the Hanar Odis,"Hello. My name's Garrus Vakarian. General Zytex invited me to the task force and I'm here to check in.".

Odis responded,"Hello Turian Garrus Vakarian. This one's face name is Odis. It can see that you have registered living quarters. Here is the key to your quarters and the location of it.".

Garrus summoned up a slight smile and responded,"I'm sorry, but that won't be strictly needed. I already have a place on the Citadel. But I appreciate the thought and I'll hold on to it. I'm more here for my friends. Do you know if a Samuel Shepard, a Tali'Zorah, and Kaidan Alenko, or a Liara T'Soni have checked in yet? They where my old squadmates when we where fighting Saren a while ago.".

Odis responded to Garrus,"That is unfortunate to hear, but the General described such a situation to this one about this. The General thought it best if we where able to have all the members of our task force on or close by the Citadel. It may give your quarters to another task force member, is this fine to the Turian?".

Garrus gave a slight sigh and responded,"That will be fine. I just wanted tot check in. Now about Shepard and the others?".

Odis said back to Garrus,"This one appreciates the thought. Your associate Human Commander Samuel Shepard can be found in these quarters. The General has heard that Quarian Tali'Zorah is on her way to the Citadel, but has not arrived yet. This one has no records of Human Kaidan Alenko or Asari Liara T'Soni responding back. They where supposed to be with Commander Shepard, but we have not heard anything from them or the Human. This one apologizes.".

Garrus let out another sigh and then responded in a friendly tone,"It's okay. Thanks for the information Odis. Goodbye.". Garrus waved goodbye and then walked to where Shepard was supposed to be. When he got there, he saw Quarian male, a staff member, the Savior of the Citadel himself. Garrus wasn't sure if Shepard noticed him, but said with great joy in his voice,"Well if isn't our lovable bastard Commander Shepard. How have you been, you partier?".

(yep, time for Garrus and the gang. I'll probably be giving more focus on Garrus and Tali for the RP as long as they're under my control as I like them more than Liara or Kaidan.)"

"Juun'Reyan paused for a minute before answering Shepard, "Well...whenever my detachment of the Fleet passed by any planets with interstellar communications, we'd actually pirate whatever programs they were broadcasting. The very few vids we did have not only almost drove everyone insane from watching them too much, we wore them out until they didn't work anymore somehow." He replied, unsure what the others would think of the fact that they basically stole television.

"Oh, another Turian?" He asked after noticing Garrus Vakarian, speaking in a tone that suggested neither disappointment or excitement."

"Chevek

Chevek thanked Odis and walked down to quarters.

Kahlief

Kahlief thanked Odis and went to his quarters.

A little while later

Chevek

after resting a bit Chevek wandered around the corridor that held the quarters and found a open door. When he looked inside he saw a Turian, a Human, a Quarian, and a staff member.

"What are you guys doing?" He asked

(What species is Flona Salvinius?)"

"And now, it looks like we have a Batarian in our group. Unconventional, but I can't help but admit how interesting this crew's becoming." Juun couldn't help but comment upon noticing Chevek. He then resumed looking for any food available that could be consumed by dextro-aliens, beginning his search by inspecting the fridge."

"(beats me who Flona is. I didn't make them up. Heroic did. Also, I wanted to wait for Shep to respond before composing a response from Garrus, but meh. I'm in the process of making a post for Tali as well. It might not come until tomorrow at the least.)

Garrus was disappointing by the lack of immediate response by his old friend, but carried on. He noticed Juun and Chevek making comments and decided to introduce himself to them,"Hello you two. My name is Garrus Vakarian. I'm an old squadmate of Shepard's. We fought Saren and the like together and became friends during that time. I'm here because the General wants my knowledge and combat skills. Also I wanted to say hello to this quirky but lovable bastard. Would you two mind telling about yourselves?.". Garrus looked at them expectantly."

"Garrus Vakarian? I know you. You were an C-Sect officer right? Anyway my names Chevek." Chevek replied to Garrus."

"I don't know any of you very well, but I'm guessing a friend of this Commander Shepard is going to be a friend of mine." Juun replied before introducing himself as he said, "My name's Juun'Reyan nar Raezzor, and the council hired me because of my skills with ship and system repairs."

"Garrus responded to Chevek,"Chevek...... I could have sworn I saw your name before. I can't remember where though. And yes, I was a former C-Sec officer before joining Shepard. I was serving as an anti Re.... Geth researcher and a peace keeper before being asked to join the task force. I was working with General Zytex beforehand though. Anyways, nice to meet you.". He turned to Juun,"Well hello there. As you've probably heard, I worked with a Quarian during my time fighting Saren. Last I heard, she was coming to the Citadel. Nice to have you. Hope we can get you Quarians some greater respect with this task force. My time fighting Saren taught me many things, such as respecting other races.".

(darn fuck. [nja]ed. Post is edited to reflect it.)"

"Juun'Reyan continued inspecting the fridge for food that his system could actually process. While he had been practically raised on ration bars that tended to have little to no flavor, his occasional memory of food that actually had taste caused him to hope that there was something besides a grainy, bland mush of edible matter, hinting that his tastebuds weren't completely numb to flavoring."

"Zytex was talking to a group of task force officials when he got a call from Councilor Anderson over his communicator. "I'm sorry. I have a call to take.", Zytex apologized to the group he was talking to. He walked away a bit to a less crowded area and responded with formal respect,"Yes, Councilor Anderson? What do you require?".

Anderson spoke calmly through his the communication,"General Zytex, we of the Council have been discussing something. We're going to reassign someone to active duty right away.".

Zytex was somewhat confused and concerned, but nonetheless retained his composure,"Who would that be, Councilor? And to what role would you assign them? And there's the fact I need most, if not every person in the task force currently at this first meeting. We both know how important it is, Councilor.".

Anderson sighed and then returned to his calm self,"I know, General. But we think this is important and we'd like you to carry this out. We Councilors want Spectre and Commander Samuel Shepard in a spy/informant role for the task force.". Upon hearing Shepard was going to be reassigned, Zytex had sense of disappointment, though he did not relay it. "We thought that he'd be a good fit for the role. I know this is a disappointment to you General as I know you wanted to work with the Commander. Still, we think think this is the best course of action. And we haven't lost all knowledge of what really happened with Saren and the Geth. We still have people like you, your friend Ms. Seleya, and most of Shepard's old squad. I'll be sending the message to Shepard personally after this. We just want you yo know what's going on in our task force, General.", Anderson continued.

Zytex still had a tinge of disappointment, but kept his respectful composure,"Thank you for telling me this, Councilor. Do you think Shepard will ever return to mainline duty with us, or will he be kept in this position most of the time for the task force's existence? Also, expect me to relay the information of our first official meeting to Shepard anyways. He has a right to know.".

Anderson responded,"The plan was to relay information to Shepard anyways. And about your other question about Shepard doing other roles but this one; we will have to discuss this. I wouldn't put it past us to change out minds at times and have him return to mainline duty. And General, Shepard will continue taking control of the Normandy to run most of his operations. It's stealth systems will be invaluable for that role. However, I will be placing Lieutenant Kaidan Alenko and Doctor Liara T'Soni under your command and removing them from Shepard's command. Expect to hear from them soon. Goodbye, General.". Anderson said as the communication was cut.

Zytex stood for a brief moment contemplating what Anderson had said before returning to what he was doing.

No sooner has Shepard noticed his old buddy Garrus, he received a call from Anderson. Anderson told him about his new role as a spy/informant in the task force effective immediately, that Shepard would still retain control over the Normandy, that Kaidan and Liara would be under Zytex's control, that Zytex knew about this, that the position could be changed in the future, and more. Shepard quickly told Garrus what was going on before saying goodbye, packing up his stuff (including his fish and katana), going to his quarters to pack up, and going to the Normandy.

"Okay, goodbye Shepard....", Garrus said dishearteningly as Shepard left. Garrus had no idea if the others had noticed what happened. Didn't even really get to talk to the bastard. Dammit., Garrus thought to himself.

(speaking that where Shepard can change roles quickly depending on if a player picks him back up, this will be awkward dealing with him. Still, I find it a better compromise when Shep is a NPC. Any player of Shepard does not have to be in this spy role if they do not want to and I don't say they have to. It's just a way of dealing with NPC Shep.)"

"((Firing a shot in the dark here, plus I couldn't remember if quarians in this rewritten universe could remove part of their helmets without getting ill because of terribad immune systems.)

By this time Juun'Reyan eventually found something to satisfy his hunger, although it wasn't exactly food. He ended up settling for a blended dietary shake that was flavored with dextro-chocolate. Even though he didn't often taste anything with flavor that wasn't bland to have much of a palette, he knew he wasn't a big fan of this one in particular. He figured it was better than nothing though, opening the can, and somehow managing to use the straw that came with it and fitting it in his faceplate's mouthpiece.

"Shepard's leaving I see? I didn't even get to know him..." Juun couldn't help but comment after noticing Shepard's absence."

"(as long as it's done in moderation and in a relatively controlled environment, it shouldn't be a problem. We're on the Citadel, in a higher class apartment made for a Quarian though. Don't expect to this everywhere and expect there not to be consequences. But yeah, I very sure he's fine here, esp. for the afore mentioned reasons and the fact that Rewrite Quarian immune systems are at ME 1 levels, not BW ME 2 and 3 levels.)

"Well, I know the guy well and he mostly took off on me without really talking. Still, the bastard knows what he's doing. I trust him. We'll hear from him again, I know it.", Garrus said. He was about to continue when got a message over his communicator.

"Garrus, it's me, Liara.", the Asari said over the communicator. "I'm with Kaidan. We heard the news about Shepard and about us being transferred to be directly under Zytex like yourself. We're on the Citadel and are on our way to the task force's living quarters. We'll be with you in a bit.".

Garrus looked perked up at the sound of his old friends,"Glad to hear from you Liara. It's going to be nice seeing you two i the flesh again, even if it's only been a small while since we last saw each other in person. I'd catch up with you over the communicator, but I have other people here I'm hanging out with. They're new faces, but they're all task force like us. Anything you wanted to say before we cut comms?".

Kaidan chuckled over the communicator,"Making new friends, eh Garrus? Seems like you have a slight knack for that. Anways, have heard from Tali and how she's going to take to get here? It'd be nice to see her again. Also, have heard anything about Wrex? I don't think anyone from the old group knows what happened to him after he left the Normandy.".

Garrus turned his mandibles into smiling position and said with glee,"Oh, there you go again Kaidan.". Garrus quickly turned more relaxed,"Last I heard, Tali was catching a ride to the Citadel along with a bunch of other Quarians that General Zytex recruited. She's should be fine as she's with Zytex's people, but we all know that Tali can easily handle herself. About Wrex, I haven't heard anything either. Maybe the General knows, but he's not telling any of us. That it?".

Liara said over the communicator,"Yes, that should be Garrus. As I said, we'll be there in a bit. Also, thanks for the information. Goodbye". She then cut comms.

"See you later.", Garrus said. He turned to Juun and Chevek,"As you might have heard, some of my old squadmates will be coming here, in light of what just happened with Shepard. I think you'll like to meet them. Now, do you guys want to do anything fun?". Garrus looked expectantly at the Quarian and Batarian."

"With Kahlief

Kahlief was walking down one of the hallway until he saw a batarian standing in one of the doorway.

"Why are you standing there?" He asked the batarian. The batarian then said "A Vorcha? It'll be good to have another species with a bad reputation."

"Bad reputation?" he asked the batrian.

"Most other species view batarians and vorcha as warmongers." The batarain said."

"According to whoever comes up with these stereotypes, Vorcha are also pretty conniving con artists when they aren't in the mood for beating money out of anyone physically. Then again whoever believes that also thinks quarians aren't much better when it comes to scamming people, between the both of us we should be able to make plenty of credits ripping people off..." Juun couldn't help but chime in facetiously before finishing the dietary beverage he didn't care for.

After carelessly tossing it into the garbage, he later said in a more serious tone, "But since I'm pretty sure we're real people who don't fit into offensive stereotypes, we're all going to be doing things much more...honorable for lack of a better word."

"With Chevek

"I get the batarian stereotyping simply because a lot of my species hate humans and most hate the council because they didn't stop the humans from..." Chevek said, then he thought for a few seconds then said. "...I actually cant rember why my race hate humans. Should I be embaressed?"

Then the vorcha said "I don't know, I've only learned asari and vorcha history. Do any of you know what he is talking about?"
