First contact

Liara had known that humans looked much like asari, of cause she knew. She had heard about it, seen the pictures, and at first written it off as just one of nature's funny coincidences.

However, meeting a human for the first time? Quite unsettling.

Doctor Charlston was ever polite, and had been very professional when introduced to her at the Annual Prothean Conference. Yet Liara had been transfixed by the so familiar facial structure, the eyes, the nose, the lips.

It had been hard to keep her thoughts strait. Luckily there had been enough differences she could focus on, and to an extent that she could fuel her unease into interest instead. The hair and the beard, not to mention the flappy ears was very fascinating, and Liara had been able to get through the night without too much discomfort. She had kept the personal questions to herself though, that was what the extranet was for.

Later on she learned of the uncanny valley effect, and concluded that this had been the source of her uneasiness. And at the time she had been pleased that it had not affected her as hard as some of the stories she would read about in the examples.

That was until Therum, that was before she was confronted to the disturbing familiarity of human women.

And now she was living onboard a ship filled with humans.

Oh well, as the old asari proverb went "If you can't stand them, try to get closer".

That was the tamer version of it though; Liara was both disgusted and rather tempted by the raunchier one.

Luckily Commander Shepard was quite the fascinating individual.
