Regular POV
After we left the meeting so that the rest could process what I told them and so Jane could fill the council in I headed towards my ship for some well deserved rest, unfortunately it seems Tali had other ideas.
"Callum...I was wondering if I could have a word with you?...If your not too tired that is." asked Tali nevoursly
Signing I turn to her "That would be fine, care to take this to my ship? If you want to talk to me about this I might as well give you the gear I set aside for you"
"You have gear for me?" asked Tali excitedly before remembering that I made the offer to everyone
"Yes, and I think your going to love it, I've got a great shotgun put aside for you and some armour that should fit over your suit and with some adjustments shouldn't impact your mobility."
"That's great." replies Tali as we get into the elevator "I was wondering if you could tell me more about that person from before?"
"Who stranger? I guess I could"
"That can't be her name, and she is not an AI?" asked Tali
"No its not and she is not, but she has never told me her name doing the times we interacted...But to be honest most of those were about her warning me about some threat and me taking care of it, all I know is that she is reliable, an exo and from the future."
"From the future? How can such a thing be possible?" questioned Tali
"Its not as hard or uncommon as you would expect, before I came here I was busy dealing with time travelling space rhinos"
"But doesn't time travel risk the very fabric of the universe?" she asks as the elevator comes to a stop
"Not really, you risk altering events but the fabric of reality is quite resilient. You might just wipe out your existence in the process though"
"But how is such a thing possible?" asked Tali
"No idea, Osiris tried explaining it to me once but I couldn't make heads or tails of it. All you need to understand is that there is a race of time traveling machines that can affect the fabric of reality."
"You have a race of terminators?"
"Sorry?"
"Race of terminators, Shepard and Ashley were all talking all about AI. The movie series terminator came up so I decided to watch it, I have to say it was an amazing set of vids"
"That's one way of thinking of it, but curiously the vex aren't true robots. They have organic origins that became more and more synthetic over time"
"So you don't have AI?" asked Tali nervously
"No we do, but they are mostly put in charge in of ship navigation"
"But how can you trust them?"
"When each day it a threat for survival you work out quite quickly who you can trust."
"But AI have no need for organics"
"Sorry, but you are wrong. AI love to process new data and organics provide a constant supply of it. In fact I have a friend that is an AI called failsafe that I would like to introduce you to"
"And she is...safe?" questioned Tali
"Yes, well she has mood swings and will go from sunny and cheerful to dark and emo. The death of her crew and hundred of years of isolation has really had an impact on her"
"She...she mourned for her crew?"
"Yes she has felt the loss of her crew most keenly, now back to the matter in hand. I have selected this weapon for your usage"
Opening a crate located underneath my ship I pull out the Lord of Wolves
"This is the Lord of Wolves, a unique shotgun class weapon that has a magazine of thirty rounds and fires five bullets with each pull of the trigger. It is effective not only at close range but also at medium ranges as well as having an easy reload mechanism and predictable recoil. But before you take it out on the gun range, lets look at your armour. I have selected the BrayTech hunter suit for your use, its was produced by the same company that created the technology that is being used in your living area."
"Hunter?"
"Its one of the classes of guardians, there are the hunters, titans and warlocks. Titans are the muscle and frontal assault, hunters are the recon specialists able to go behind enemy lines and operate with little support. Warlocks operate between these two fields, now stay still while my ghost configures the armour to fit you, well except the hood and cape since you don't have any need for them. I'll also have him scan your current suit to see if it can be upgraded and enhanced."
While I was saying this, Caspar appear and scanned Tali before transmitting the armour in question directly onto her frame, which along with the scan made it a perfect fit.
"So tell me, what do you think?" I ask
"Its amazing, what can you tell me about the armour?"
"As I said the armour has been customized to fit you perfectly, there is a miniature fabricator that will create magazines full of ammo for you, all you have to do is hold suitable material against the fabricator-anything metal will do. There it will be broken down and stored in a small fold in space were it will stay until needed while always having a single magazine ready for use. Usually it holds the materials needed for multiple weapons but since you will only have one weapon that is magazine loaded with the rest of your loadout using ammo blocks there should be enough in there for most missions if you conserve your ammo without worrying about running out. But I would still keep an eye out one how many rounds you have left which is displayed on the icon symbol on the gun and fill it up as necessary. The actual armour is made up of electromagnetic plasma field generator projectors that have been inlaid to solid ceramic pieces, this is on top of the mass effect shields that you already have. Now lets get the gun range up."
It only took a short amount of time to set up the cargo area as a gun range. Of course this soon gained the attention of the rest of the crew and their curiosity soon brought them over.
"What's with the gear?" asked Jane coming over while Tali get her aim in with the new weapon
"Tali wanted to talk so I thought I'd give her the gear I have organised for her."
"I have to say that is one...unusual gun. But whats with the armour strapped on?"
"That a shotgun called the Lord of Wolves, its effective at close and medium ranges and uses a five round burst. As for the strapped on armour it because Tali has the least armoured gear out of all of us and instead of trying to find suitable mission gear for a quarrian I thought I would easier to just have some gear modified to fit over her suit."
"Do you have anymore gear available?" asked Jane
"Yes, enough material to produce a weapon for everyone, in regards to armour however it would be better if I just imbued their current armour with spare armour that I have."
"Imbued?" Asked Jane
"Yes, its the process of breaking down weapons and armour to improve another set of weapons or armour."
"Its possible to do that?"
"It sure is, so if you want to get the armour sorted I can improve it to be ready for our next mission"
"I can get that organised, but do you have enough to provide Liara with a set of armour as well?"
"I'll have to scrounge around but I think I have an old set of armour that would be suitable, why do you ask?" I question
"We could do with a full time Prothean expert and her biotic abilities are quite impressive, so after some training I want to see if we can get her in the field."
Just then Ashley came over
"Nice gear, I don't suppose that you that you have anything in my size?"
"You know what, I have just the thing. Hey Tali hold your fire I'm going to get the rest of the gear. Ok, for you Ashley I have the assault rifle Duty Bound"
"Sweet, this thing looks dangerous especially with that bayonet at the front."
"Ok, who else wants a weapon"
"I'll see what you have" said Garrus
"What are you looking for, a sniper by any chance?" I ask
"No, I'm quite attached and I've spent a lot of time calibrating it. Do you have anything for medium distances?"
"How about a pulse rifle, they are good for medium to long range and give out a three round burst"
"Sounds perfect, got any in mind?"
"I think so, just give me a second"
Walking towards my ship I activate the stairs to unfold and begin having a look around for a certain pulse rifle. Coming back down the stairs I hand the rifle over to Garrus.
"This is the Go Figure pulse rifle, it can shoot up to 450 rounds a minute done in three round bursts and has a magazine size of 40. Wait until I finish handing out weapons before you try it though."
Just then I notice Wrex standing out of to the side
"Hey Wrex, what about you...want a weapon"
"Hehe...I doubt very much that you have a weapon more suitable then my current guns" said Wrex in his deep gravelly voice
"That's what you think." Going back to my ship I grab a weapon that I have been using as a display item
"What on earth is that" says gobsmacked Kaiden
"This is a Cabal shotgun, the Cabal are a giant race of basically bipedal rhinos. Personally I think you would very much like it Wrex"
And judging from how Wrex has been look at it he thinks the same, but to be honest it also looks like Tali might want it for herself too.
"Ok, what about you Kaiden...what are you looking for?"
"An assault rifle if possible, a smg if not" answered Kaiden
"Ok, let me go and get one"
This time I came back with Valakadyn
"This is the Valakadyn auto rifle, it has a low recoil and is easy to keep stable. It delivers 720 rounds per minute and has a magazine of 53 rounds."
"Now if everyone could leave their chest armour behind so that Casper and I can improve them and add a mini fabricator so that you can't run out ammo halfway through a mission"
"I think your forgetting about me." interrupted Jane
"I thought you weren't interested?"
"What can I say, I changed my mind" Answered Jane
"What weapon do you want?"
"Surprise me."
This time I take a lot longer to pick out a weapon, I had narrowed down to a number of weapons such as Toil and Trouble and IKLOS_HC_v1.0.1 when I saw it, the perfect weapon for Jane tucked away in the corner.
"Shepard, it is my pleasure to introduce you to Sweet Business. It has a magazine of 45 rounds and can pump out 360 rounds a minute, literally producing a line of death."
"Momma likes" she says as she takes the gun from me and cradles it like a new born babe.
Somewhere deep inside me I feel like I've made a terrible mistake.
