*The Citadel Council - Blastette, SC Williams, and Alenkfish float in through the doors. The Council members notice the approaching trio*

Salarian Councillor: "Oh my."

Asari Councillor: "Oh Goddess."

Turian Councillor: "Oh hell."

Councillor Anderson: "Oh c-" (They get within hearing range) "-ello! Blasto...we thought you where dead..."

Blastette: "This one is now known as Blastette...its a long story."

Turian Councillor: "Indeed...We had heard rumours of your ... unexpected return."

Salarian Councillor: "Though we didn't really expect them to be true. Though we are glad to see you back..." (the other Councillors exchange glances) "...we do have to ask why you have come to see us here today."

Blastette: "This one returns to the council today to ask for this Spectre status returned to him. Formally, that is. For this one knows the Council would never turn its back on one of its finest."

Council in unison: "No!"

Blastette: "This one is genuinely shocked! Why is this one denied the right to return to his former duties?"

Salarian Councillor: "You gunned down the last Volus ambassador!"

Blastette: "He was obstructing this one's inquires!"

Salarian Councillor: "Getting the last crunchy bar out of the snack machine before you do is not obstruction, Com-" (hushed and urgent whispers) "Captain"

Blastette: "Well, you had to be there. But even if it where a valid point, this one asks if one incident should really bar-"

Turian Councillor: "What about the Elcor ambassador's daughter? We don't like to get involved in personal matters, but the ambassador and the at least 2 Krogan Warlords want your head."

Blastette: "That was this one's own personal business, but this one would like to add that the ground rules where clearly laid out by this one before any tentacles where moved."

Asari Councillor: "What about the Borlian's? You've still not answered for their extinction."

Blastette: "This one could not have not it harboured microbes that would be so lethal to there species. Nor that their planet had a high amount of radioactive ore in their crust. This one was only trying to contain the spread of the microbe by any means necessary, and had no idea the bomb would cause such a chain reaction."

Councillor Anderson: "What about Admiral Torca?"

Blastette: "He was a solid waste excretion body part. This one did the Alliance a favour by imploding his vessel."

Asari Councillor: "Frankly Com- Captain, we have to question your mental competency and whether you have the necessary restraint to hold the title of Spectre"

Blastette: "Councillors, this one simply wishes to have it's status back so that it may finish the task it had in hand when it was killed. Those puppies are disappearing and the trail leads towards the Terminus systems." (Alenkfish and Williams exchange a look of concern) "Now, this one knows you ar-"

Salarian Councillor: "Excuse me a moment, did you say the Terminus systems Captain? The lawless and very dangerous Terminus systems?"

Blastette: "This one is willing to face the dangers."

*The councillors huddle a moment*

Alenkfish: "Er.. Captain, didn't they just say 'very dangerous'?"

SC Williams: "And we're doing this over missing pets?"

Blastette: "This one asks that you trust it."

*The two crew members exchange a look again but don't comment*

Asari Councillor: "Captain, we feel it is absolutely vital that you investigate these missing puppies as urgently as possible - in fact, you should set out as soon as possible. To that end, we re-estate your Spectre status."

Blastette: "This one is grateful, Councillors, and will do the Council proud"

Salarian Councillor: "Well, we would be very grateful if you looked into this right way..."

Turian Councillor: "...As soon as possible..."

Councillor Anderson: "...Today, if you could."

*Blastette takes a bow and turns to leave. On route towards the exit, an Elcor calls out*

Eli-Core: "[Eager Greetings] Blastette! Eli-Core, Reporter For Spiral Arm News; I Would Like A Moment Of Your Time Captain"

Blastette: "This one is busy with important matters."

Eli-Core: "[Flattering tone] But I Simply Wanted To Interview The Famous And Obviously Beautiful Blastette."

*Blastette halts and turns to look at the reporter - Alenkfish and SC Williams bob in the air alittle
and grumble between themselves quietly*

Blastette: "Well... This one suppose's it could spare you...a few minutes... Beautiful, you say?"

Eli-Core: "[Flattering tone] Indeed It Did." (Camera drone activates) "[Official tone] Blastette, Formerly Known As Blasto, Your Return To Spectre Status Was Unexpected. [Backhanded Question] Many Hanar Have Been Asking Why Another Of There Kind Was Not Made A Spectre Whilst You Were Away. Do Think The Council Where Just Humouring The Hanar People With Your Return?"

Blastette: "This one is annoyed at your tone. This one things it was a great honour to be allowed to return to the Spectres. For this one and this one's people."

Eli-Core: "[Unbelieving] You Really Believe That? I Think The Council Just Want Rid Of You."

*Alenkfish and SC Williams mutter in unison 'You don't say?'*

Eli-Core: "[Disingenuous assertion] Many Hanar Are Calling Your Appointment To The Spectres As The Council Pretending To Give The Hanar People A Voice, Do You Agree?"

Blastette: "This one is tired of your disingenuous assertions!" (Stings him with Hanar venom) "And this one does look pretty!"

*Eli-Core collapses on the ground*

Eli-Core: "[Crippling Agony] You Can Not Treat The Media This Way; Everyone In The Hanar Illuminate Will See This."

Blastette: "This one does not care."

*Blastette turns and floats away*

Alenkfish: "Captain, this one has to ask if that was the right thing to do?"

Blastette: "Huh? Sorry, this one was distracted by..." (pauses, still looking at Alenkfish's hind tentacles) "...Oh, nothing. But remember, you are on this one's crew, on this one's ship, so it is this one's rules. And this one feels that your hind armour is too loose. This one is sure any gun fire could cut right through it. Therefore, this one will require you to wear tighter armour."
