A/N Ok this whole story has been pretty much revised, I screwed up majorly last time I wrote on this, so for the last few weeks I've pretty much been doing all I can to correct this as well as start on another less comedy style more serious story. For now enjoy the revised chapters and I'll post a Beta of the new story later.
Ok, on the Citadel, that's an extremely interesting turn of events for my life, I mean seriously, I asked for this and I got it. "Hmm, I wish I had some hot alien chick at my side right now-ish!" I yelled towards the higher areas above me. Okay silly wish but hey, I wished for something interesting and now I'm here, so may as well.
"Okay, now, what to do?" I wondered when suddenly I felt a rumble. "Oh god what the hell is that!" I yelped which I quickly felt stupid for when I figured out I was hungry. Well, time to taste some alien food.
I was walking around for about an hour and I still hadn't found anything. "Well shit, I'm lost" I mentioned to no one in particular, "Seems I'll need to ask for directions". Oh nice one Thaddeus, yes ask the garbage can why don't you, gah! I sighed as I made my way along the 357th hallway I've been down that day.
It was about another hour I think that I spent walking around trying to find one of those Transit Stations littered around the place, I mean come on, there's like 5 in a general area in each game, why isn't there some arou…AHA! My eyes focused on a Transit station about 200 metres away.
"Oh finally, I'll be able to set my destination easily and work out where I am" I told myself. I started to jog towards the station, my legs still a bit wobbly from my transportation here, which I'll figure out later.
As I went past a corner something moved from the same direction, before I could react something slammed into me extremely fast. As I hit the ground the object landed on top of me in an awkward position, meaning its knee landed on my groin.
"Oh Jesus….why me?" I managed to mutter as a pain not even death could save me from. As I lifted my head up to see what was on me, that was when I noticed that it wasn't an object, it was an Alien.
The Alien wore Latex like skin tight suit with different tubes, ports and lights scattered all over it. As I looked it over it raised its head, and through a misty visor I saw two glowing eyes staring straight back at me.
"Oh dear" muttered the creature, "I'm so sorry I ran into you, I was in a bit of a rush". I noticed a bit of a Russian like accent, I think, or was it Austrian, for the moment let's go with Russian.
"Ha-ha, no problem" I managed to puff out, still paining from the kick to the groin, trying to manage a smile. Finally seeing that it was a she when she leaned back she had, those, I felt a bit weird.
"Oh my!" she yelped as she noticed where her knee was, quickly jumping back but stumbling and falling back onto my chest again, nearly knocking me out with her helmet. "Ow damnit, that's one powerful attack you have there" I joked, "It's super effective", Pokemon joke for the win.
She giggled at that one, sweet making progress with the first person I've met on this place. "Well I think that's enough cuddling for now" I said with a smug smile on my face. She proceeded to laugh hysterically at that one, I don't even know why. "Ok, time to get up, I'm in a bit of pain and I would like some breathing room" I told her.
She gladly got up and held out her GAH! It's got two fingers and a thumb…okay I know this, it's a Quarian, holy crap how did I not remember, anyways I'm meeting one of my most favourite character species out of the whole game trilogy for real, this is the best day ever!
I accept her out held hand and notice that she has a delicate feel to her, even though she just beat me up without intention.
"Thanks Miss…" I slowly say, trying to learn her name. "Sathre, Sathre'Tari Nar Terressa, and you?" she asked in return. "Thaddeus Verheyen, quick question, why were you in such a rush?"
"Oh Keelah, I forgot, I must get to the docking bay! My friend is supposedly there and I want to see her off before she leaves! Oh Keelah I'm going to be late!" she exclaimed quickly, moving towards the transit station.
"Docking bay? Maybe its Tali and the Normandy, I mean come on she's pretty much the only Quarian on the Citadel, let's go!" My mind kicked into gear and I started after her. "Hey Sathre, I'm new here and I was wondering if I could tag along with you, so after you see your friend you could maybe, show me around?" I asked my ever so polite lie as she was trying to catch a ride through the station. As soon as I said that she turned around and looked at me intently, "You want to hang around with me? A Quarian? I thought all the species around the Galaxy hated us for creating the Geth?" she asked.
"Well you see, I'm not one for judging those faults of ancestors on the current beings of that particular race, plus I've always really been into Quarians" I spoke informativly, "In the sense of you being interesting through your Biological Form as well as Physical Form" I quickly added, so to not sound weird, bugger still sounded bad.
"How nice of you" she said with a slight hint of bashfulness.
"Yeah, I'm a nice person most of the time, always willing to offer a hand when needed, you know" I mentioned. "Well, come on then our ride's here, let's go" she stated.
The shuttle came down in an easy fashion, near exactly like it does in the game, but it looks that much better, and realistic too. Actually, thinking about it now, everything is absolutely beautiful, the game does this place no justice. Hell even the holographic displays look amazing, I mean wow, seriously, I wish I could take a picture and bring it back to….oh.
I just remembered that I've been transported out of my life, whisked away from my family, friends. "Woo Hoo" I shouted, pumping my arms up and down and doing a little jig, all the while Sarthe was just watching.
"What are you doing?" she asked me with an element of confusion. Oh right, I'm not alone, there is someone here. "Oh this, it's my people's native dance, for when we have seen something of…" I quickly scan the area, looking for something to relate my jig to. Aha, the view, it was beautiful, I'll go with that. "When we have seen something beautiful and must let others know of what we've seen". Yep, nailed it, she can't contend with that.
"Oh" she said softly, looking down slightly and raising her hand to her visor. Oh shizenhower (Shy-Zen-How-Er)! She thinks I meant her, crap, now I'm flirting with her without even knowing it. I'm sending this girl the wrong messages, I think. I quickly slap myself for my stupidity, which she gladly didn't notice.
Quickly shaking that thought off, I jumped into the Shuttle next to Sarthe as she started to choose the destination. As it started up she turned to me, not just her head, but she turned her whole body to face me. "So, you do that 'Dance' in the presence of great beauty" she says shyly to me.
Oh fudge it, let's roll with it and see where this goes. "Yes, you may not have noticed it being performed by any other human before, because no one can recognise true beauty like me". I swear if she didn't have that helmet on she would've blushed at that very moment. Stop it Thad, you're being an idiot again!
We spoke a little more as the shuttle just took forever, hope I don't have to use the elevators. I decided to ask her about her Biology make up and her immune system, as well as a little background on her people and what brought her to the Citadel, which I learned was for her Pilgrimage. I knew most of what she was talking about, but I didn't mind hearing it again, especially from the REAL THING!
We were really getting to know each other, quite well I might add, but our shuttle ride ended and there we were. We walked for about 5 minutes and then there we were, outside the docking bay for the SSV Normandy SR1…Alliance Vessel.
A/N Ok that was much better, I don't know why I did what I did last time, I mean come on, that was just silly, got them flirting already, instead I've put it down as an accidental thing which works. I've also accidentally done it myself sometimes, to my friends of all people. Any who, just click on over to the next chapter as well as the one after that and don't forget to leave a review because if I had one on that little screw up before then I wouldn't have taken so long to correct it. Thanks and the Boop is out.
