Hey people! I've decided to try my hand at writing my first Mass Effect story. Humor, of course! Legion and Mordin are two of my most favorite characters in the whole series, so I've decided to use them first. Enjoy!
I do not own Mass Effect. Bioware does.
*in the Tech Labs of the Normandy*
We have told you once, we have told you twice, we have told you many times- you may not "disect" this platform." Legion answered in it's classic robotic voice for the umpteenth time. The Salarian frowned again.
"Could gain access to new intel on Geth. Find out how they function. Where their weak points are. You will not be harmed. Will be careful. Will make sure nothing goes wrong." Mordin attempted to convince the Geth once again.
"Shepard-Commander made it clear to you that performing experiments on crew members is strictly prohibited. No exceptions."
"Shepard won't know. Will keep quiet. Patch up any damage that may happen. Though none should. Except for perhaps the large hole in your chest. Will need to cover that up. Could remove old N7 armor. Convince Shepard to give new plate. Tell him old armor was beginning to make you uncomfortable. Needed to be fixed. No no no no no. Geth do not have sense of touch as other species do. Will need to think of better excu- Legion?" Mordin cut himself off as he realized the Geth had left him mid-sentence. He sighed in annoyance. Then a thought occurred to him.
"Maybe Grunt will be more willing. Stubborn, eager to prove he can withstand anything. Yes yes! Of course. Pure blooded Krogan. Can study him. Find any weakness in the Genophage." he began to say out loud.
"Mordin, what have I told you about experimenting on the crew?" Shepard appeared spoke up behind him with his arms folded across his chest. Mordin jumped as be did not notice Shepard appear behind him nor did he notice him enter the Tech labs at all.
"Shepard! Did not see you come in here..." Mordin said nervously.
"Mordin,I have told you at least thirty times now that disecting crew members is NOT allowed! What is so hard to understand about that?" Shepard said angrily. Mordin backed away slightly before replying.
"Technically, you have only said that 18 times. 19 now..." The Salarian received a threatening glare from his commander, effectively stopping him from saying anything else on the matter.
"My apologies, Shepard. Will not happen again." He said, not appearing threatened at all in the least.
"That's what you said all those other times." Shepard muttered. "Whatever. If I find out it does happen again, I'm banning you from the Tech Labs, understood?"
"You have my word." The Salarian replied, still unfazed by the threat. Shepard turned and left him alone once again. Once he was sure he was out of earshot, Mordin activated his Omni Tool.
"What is it, Mordin?" A deep Krogan voice came from his Omni Tool.
"Grunt. Wanted to make request in private. Sometime when Shepard will not see you." A deep growl/groan sounded from the other end of the line.
"Fine. Be there in a minute." Grunt said grumpily.
"Excellent. Will be here in my usual place." Mordin smirked as he disconnected.
"Not examining. Studying seems more appropriate." Mordin smirked as he got his tools ready to study Grunt.
There! Done! My first Mass Effect fanfiction! Just a quick little thing I thought of this morning. It was actually pretty easy to do Mordin's pattern of speech. Mordin, Grunt, and Legion are three of my favorite characters in all Mass Effect. Anyway, hope you enjoyed this quick little one-shot!
