For they are legion


The quarian let an annoyed hiss when her left foot sank into another puddle of muddy water hidden by the damn world's lush vegetation. Here, the atmosphere was so humid that her suit couldn't even absorb it all. It was soaked to the point she felt like swimming in it, her wet hair glued to her skin because of her abundant sweat. It was too fucking hot in there. She cursed loudly when her other foot was grasped by a vicious liana, nearly making her drop. The sound came muffled by the insects caught in her mask filters, making her swear again in annoyance to have to clean it again so soon.

Really, this planet was nothing less than hell disguised in a form of a luxurious and watery jungle. At least, she wasn't alone in her suffering. Ahead Shepard was progressing his back bent to avoid the vegetal strands hanging from the trees, lingering on them as if waiting to snatch them.

Behind was the geth-pet her captain had chosen to accompany them to check this beacon signal, right in the middle of a very dreadful nowhere. Her eyes narrowed to slim slits, the corners of her mouth slightly trembling in amusement. As least, she hadn't lianas infiltrating into each spaces and joints of her body, water oozing from a hole in her chest, and a swarm of insects coming to die on the light of her eyes. It made it seemed like it was coupled to a green hundred-tentacled hanar.

That made her giggle. Shepard stayed silent when she shared her observation, but the human's shuddering betrayed his amusement. When she looked back at it, as always, Legion seemed unfazed by the situation. However, its facial plates had tightened, producing a series of soft but high-pitched beeps it had never made before. So maybe Legion was as annoyed as them.

That alone was a great source of enjoyment, making this whole thing a little more bearable. Pity she knew she would have to help the geth clean this junk out of its body when returning. That would be another kind of hell.

Keelah! She really hated that planet.
