"And this, honored Council, is my prized creation," the Salarian doctor Dr. Saleon said as said creation walked forward. The three members of the Citadel Council gasped as the figure strode forward into the chamber. The most immediately striking feature was the bright blue skin the figure possessed, but more details emerged as the figure came closer. The figure was male, but he had tentacle-like protrusions coming from the back of his head. He had a slim, wiry frame, but there was no doubting the strength rippling under his frame. "I present to you the first male Asari known to the galaxy!" Dr. Saleon said proudly. "His designation is Project Adonis."
The Asari Councilor looked uneasily at the male Asari before her. He was … more attractive than the average male she saw on a daily basis, but the average male wasn't pieced together in a lab. "What was the purpose in creating such a being?" She asked, suspicious.
"He is my greatest achievement," Dr. Saleon said with a wide smile, "and the first of many that will help bring genetic diversity to the Asari race!"
"That is … unbelievable," the Salarian Councilor said, "and not entirely necessary. The Asari are in no danger of genetic stagnation, and there is no need to produce a male Asari to that end."
"I don't believe you," the Turian Councilor said to the Salarian doctor. "I think you're doing something illegal with this … man." He looked upward at the male Asari and asked, "What say you?"
The male Asari was silent for a moment, looking from Councilor to Councilor as if trying to find something. Sympathy, perhaps? After a minute, he spoke. "The doctor lies," he said in a deep voice. "I was never meant to better the Asari, or the Turians," he added, glaring at Dr. Saleon.
"What?!" The Salarian doctor asked, shocked.
"He meant me to be a living test tube for cures to all sorts of diseases," the male Asari snarled at Dr. Saleon. "My name is Xanorso Corino, and I was his cure-finder, his money-maker, not his gift to the Asari!" He snapped, biotic power flaring around him. The Salarian doctor tried to run away, but Citadel Security forces grabbed him before he escaped.
"ENOUGH!" The Asari Councilor shouted, and Xanorso shut down the biotic power flaring around him, albeit with some effort. "You, Dr. Saleon, are being detained on charges of ethics violations, as well as the ownership of a slave."
"A slave?" The Salarian Councilor asked. "That's a bit of a stretch, considering he was born in a test tube."
"It doesn't matter where he came from," the Turian Councilor said. "This … thing is an anomaly, a potentially dangerous one. I could not have been the one who saw the biotic power he had."
The Asari Councilor shook her head, and she looked at Xanorso with pity written all over her face. "What do you say, Xanorso?" She asked gently, getting the attention of the other two Councilors.
Xanorso was surprised by what the Asari Councilor had said, and he was silent for more than a few minutes. Eventually, he spoke with a voice that trembled with fear: "I wish to be."
The Councilors looked at each other briefly, looked at the issue on their holographic displays, and voted: two yea, and one nay. "The Council has voted to give you full citizenship as a member of the Asari species," the Asari Councilor said, a smile on her face.
"You will also be granted citizenship as a member of the Citadel Alliance," the Turian Councilor added.
"However, before we release you into the public domain, we will have to have you undergo several medical examinations to make sure you don't have any diseases," the Salarian Councilor, the only dissenting vote, said. "You will also have to undergo an education on the history of the Alliance and that of your own species, as well as the history of the Turians. It won't be an easy task."
Xanorso chuckled. "This will be no challenge," he said with confidence. "Education is preferable to dissolution," he added as he bowed respectfully to the Councilors before turning around and following the C-Sec officers who would help him on his way to becoming a full citizen.
Author's note: I've thought of this sort of thing more than once: A Male Asari. This could only be accomplished in a lab. Hope you liked this oneshot. I have one request: please check out my profile and vote on my poll. Have a nice day!
