Garrus's Omni-tool pinged, a quick glance told him it was Krul. Probably bitching about wanting to come home again.

Garrus,
You gotta get me out of here man. Now that the crazy salarian knows I like music, whenever Jane isn't around, he's taken to singing. Rescue me before I put a hole in his head.

If you don't come get me today, I'm recording this guy and blasting it in your ears. You won't be able take a dump without him singing about it.

Seems like an empty threat. Besides, I don't negotiate with terrorists.

Do not underestimate me boy!
At two a.m. Garrus was rudely awakened by the shriek of the damned. He leaped to his feet, grabbed a rifle and bolted out of his bedroom. However, the moment he cleared the threshold, a very static, dark living area greeted him. It was at that precise moment it dawned on him that the ruckus was coming from his omni-tool. And it was none other than Mordin, or his voice at least.
I am a very model of a scientist salarian. I've studied species turian, asari, and batarian. I'm quite good at genetics as a subset of biology because I am an expert which I know is a tautology. My xenoscience studies range from urban to agrarian. I am a very model of a scientist salarian.
"Get me outta here or I'm holdin' all you shits hostage with this guy's music." Krul's voice crackled through the shrill melody.
Through many dangers, toils, and snares. I have already come. 'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.
Mm. No. Back to patter songs!
"Boss?" Ripper emerged from the sleeping quarters holding out his omni-tool. Weaver, Mierin, and Sensat were hot on his heels. Their arms each glowing a menacing orange, singing in tandem.
"It's comin' outta Frank's omni too. But he sleeps like the dead."
"It's Krul. He must've hacked us."
"…. why?"
"He's trying to browbeat me into letting him come back to base sooner rather than later."
Glycine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, alanine, they are all aliphatic so you will not see a ring! The lone human amino acid with one is proline. From protein we are formed!
"Is it gonna stop? Because if it's not gonna stop, I say give him what he wants!" Weaver was standing with his forehead resting in his palm. Garrus had admittedly run them hard the previous day. Even he was feeling it. They were probably drained, sore, and in desperate need of sleep. Ah, military life. It was a wonder he enjoyed it so much.
With two hydroxyl groups you'll find serine and threonine. For sulfur look to cysteine or to methionine!
"Only sleep one hour. From two thirty to three thirty. Still, most unwise to disturb me" Sensat was glaring at his omni-tool as if he were debating smashing it.
"Do we still gotta run drills at 06:30?" Ripper whined.
"Of course you do! Think the gangs will give us a vacation because Krul is being a jackass?" Garrus grumbled. "Krul? Okay, you've made your point. You want to come home."
"Comin' to get me?"
"Right now?"
"Yes right now!"
"Come on, can't we just sleep and talk in the morning."
"They took me off morphine Garrus. I either need a butt load of drugs or sweet, sweet freedom. This guy never shuts up."
"Can't he hear you complaining about him? Why don't you try something normal like asking nicely?"
"He's wearing earbuds and singing along to some gods-forsaken musical. And of course I fucking tried asking! The asshole's got a mind of his own."
"It's three in the morning man!"
"Well if I ain't sleepin' neither are you shits."
For bases you have arginine, lysinee, and histidine. From protein we are formed!
Now the aromatics!
Tryptophan and tyrosine and phenylalanine! Aspartic and glutamic are both acids as we've seen.
For amides, see asparagine and also glutamine. From protein we are formed!
"What's going on?" Jane emerged from her downstairs bedroom. Her disheveled hair sticking straight up.
"Krul's little gift. I take it your omni-tool is going off as well?" Garrus answered.
"No. I just heard the commotion and decided to check it out."
In prophase you see chromatins condense to chromosomes, in metaphase their centromeres align to make new homes! In anaphase they separate, then telophase arrives, and when cytokinesis comes, two cells lead separate lives!
"Is that Mordin? That's hilarious."
"Say Krul, why yous not torturing Jane with this shit?" Ripper moaned.
"I actually like her. You losers on the other hand…."
"Fine! You know what? You win Krul. But I promise you, the second you can walk, crawl, or somehow move your body across the base, I'm going to make your life a living hell. My foot is going to be so far up your ass, you won't know up from down. Boot camp style man. Boot camp style." Garrus growled, although he was admittedly finding the whole matter extremely entertaining. If he weren't in charge, he'd be biting down on his talons trying trying to suppress fits of laughter..
"Bring it on boy."
Well, I had an exciting week. There was a crazy storm that blew our power out, a fire, and we found out that we were under evacuation warning a few days after the fact. It's not like having a working car or phone would've been important in that situation. (Neither of which we had.) Oh! And I might be moving to Maryland. We'll find out in a few weeks. I love this rustic style of living though. That'll be hard to let go of.
But whenever I'm out of this boot (injured myself running so I'm on crutches atm), I'll have a lot of work to do. Many trees fell in the storm. Our property looks like a tornado blew through. So, that's where I've been. Thanks again for your patience. For some reason, 2021 is trying to out-crazy 2020.
Also, I figured out what I was doing wrong with FF. So, just ignore my previous ranting. While this story is mainly on AO3, I will still update FF.
