[Recording Entry: 09-a]

Yo diary! Just received a distress call coming from the Hydra system in the Argos Rho cluster. Apparently a medical transport went down over the planet Metgos. Also received reports that there's thorium down there. Thinking of making myself a bracelet, yay! I can do that, right? That's not like...I can wear thorium can't I? Whatever, I'll ask somebody later. I'm gonna get a small team and head down. Map says it's a second level heat hazard, so I'll take Wrex and the cop. They like hot places, right? I should build a vivarium in the hangar.

Shepard Out!

DIRTY ROTTEN SONS-OF-A-BITCH- They're robots! How can they even do that? Tali and I are having words when we get back!

Just went down to the engine room to speak to Tali. Quarians are pretty weird. Apparently all they all live on a flotilla made up of tons of random ships travelling together because they don't have a home world anymore. How tragic! That explains why she really likes ships though. I can't drag her away from the engine room. No, really. I tried earlier but she sort of clung onto the railing and wouldn't let go. Adams says it's okay if she stays because she's quite knowledgeable and I don't really want to force the issue because it's awkward as hell. Luckily it didn't cause tension between us because it hasn't shut her up any. Once you get her talking she never stops. Anyway, Quarians are like, the galactic equivalent of gypsies, just sort of roaming from system to system stripping everything of value before they move on. It's pretty resourceful but I think I have an idea on who's been taking other people's lunches from the fridge now.

In other news, we've grounded our drive core and are on a straight route to Feros. We should be arriving in about a - wait...damnit! I got sidetracked and forgot to ask her about the geth.

Just reached Feros! I was going to take Alenko and Williams but Williams is all hormonal or something so I'm taking Tali instead. That way if the geth do show up then we have at least one person who knows what's goin' on-

Commander, do you always speak into your wrist like that?

It's a recording program, obviously.

Yes, I know. What I meant was...well doesn't it detract from your ability to focus on your mission?

Tali, Tali-tali-tali- Please, I'm not an amateur. I'm quite capable of performing more than one task at once. You ready, Kaidan?

Ready, Commander.

Alright, but what about when you need to fire your weapon?

It still records. I uh...I guess I have to edit out the pew-pew-pew later or something. I don't know, maybe there's an app for that too.

~~Equalizing interior pressure with exterior atmosphere. Logged: The commanding officer is ashore. XO Pressly has the deck.~~

Right, let's go. Be good, Pressly! Man, this place is a shit hole.

Hey!

What? Oh, sorry. Who are you?

Talaqani. I live here.

Right. Well...it's a nice shit hole. Very homely...I especially like what you've done with the um, the walls. They're very stony and whatnot.

Commander...

Oh, right, yeah. Why haven't you contacted anybody lately? The Alliance sent us to check up on you - not that I'm just here to make house calls or anything. Actually, I'm on a very important mission. A mission of galactic importance, you might say. Very top notch. Hey, actually, I don't suppose you've seen any evil robots around or anything have you?

Evil robots? About yeah-high?

Yeah, somewhere around there.

About so-wide?

Yes! And they've got the things, like...

Yeah! And that stuff from the side?

And the head, like, woosh! You know?

Yes! Like a torch!

Exactly! Have you seen any?

No.

Oh...

But Fai Dan has!

Oh, sweet! Where's Fai Dan?

Little further in. Just follow the path round, you'll get to him eventually. He's upstairs on the other side of the freighter.

Alright, thanks! See you later. C'mon guys, let's go. What a nice chap...I lied about the walls, though. They're awful.

Can you imagine living here? It's so...closed in.

Are these Prothean ruins? All of it?

I don't know. Are they studying them or just building on top of them? Look at these people. They've set up a barricade. Is this because of the geth? Tali, don't talk to anyone. Sir? I'm looking for Fai Dan?

Have you come to help us? He's just through there. Watch out though!

Thank you. We're here to do what we can. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for any trouble...poor bastard.

This is terrible. They're right next to the spaceport too, why hasn't ExoGeni sent anyone to get these guys out?

No idea. Maybe this Fai Dan will know. Sir, are you Fai Dan?

Commander! I'm glad they finally sent someone to help us.

You're a bit late, aren't you?

I prefer the term 'fashionably late' actually. What's going on? Is this about the robots? I'm looking for robots. Actually I'm looking for a turian, but hopefully he's with the robots. Have you seen either around?

Geth?

Yes! The guy outside said I should talk to you about it.

The geth have been making a push at our colony for days now. We're out of supplies, almost out of medical care, it's got everyone on-

What the hell was that?

We've got geth in the tower!

PROTECT THE HEART OF THE COLONY!

Really? Because I'm going to need more motivation than that. This place is awfu-ugh! Uncalled for! Right, reactivating shields! Weapons free! Do we have a number?

No good, Commander! They're jamming our signals!

Damnit, alright, in we go then-
