( High matron Red Silk's Ebony palace as per design in Pact of the Five stipulations: New Axis ( Would have been elysium.) ) Cyatiana Vemi was now questioning the wisdom of her talking to that AI. Now it seemed the other would be slaves had decided to let her handle communications..A hundred year old! this was bad she was never one for talking or negotiation heck her own mother was a poet of great renown but not much else...Her mother was a drifter always moving from planet to another during one stay on a turian colony she had a short but wonderful relationship with a turian during one of her trips...Cyatiana Was born from that union her father... Was better left unmentioned right now...She didn't even know if he was still alive...They were in a very luxurious room most of the floor was close to marble but a black version of it...in fact this hardly seemed to be something synthetics would require the.
AIs had apparently either developed a love for architecture or this was fabricated for their housing but the heavy use of the color black what was this floor even made of? and why a castle? of all things they were currently in a dining room being treated with food from each of their respective homeworlds served by single eyed machines colored in a shade of green and black the utensils... were extravagant and such heck the food she was eating would have led to her mother complimenting the chef really if this was what food tasted like in the homeworld...Sadly she had to take the first bite the salarian beside her mentioned the possibility of poisoned food as a form of joke just as the one eyed servers left they had exchanged looks with each other before their eyes swiveled to the salarian sad to say the others were not interested in eating after that.
So she had to take the initiative...Well at least she wasn't dead the large door that served as the exit for the dining room opened and...Hi-Nu was it? entered the room it was hard to read his body language when he was composed entirely of an unknown metal but his posture Suggested a possible discussion gone awry...But right now she needed had a few things to say to the joke Atempt salarian to her right who was examining his cutlery Cyatiana nudged him with her right foot. " Yes Miss Vemi? " Arelo Tolin said in that salarian fast talk that always baffled her " Make another poison joke involving food ever again You'll have first bite..." The salarian was miffed by that particular threat. Cyatiana returned to her meal...and pondered on these AI...what would mother say in a time like this?
