*On board the HERS Enkindle This, Blastette and team have regrouped*

Blastette: "So, team, are we all here?"

SC Williams: "This one thinks Miranje is still off ship."

Blastette: "Well, close enough then. This one would like one and all to meet Sullivan, though he prefers Mordin"

Mordin: "Greetings all. Including the AI. They're illegal, by the waaaay"

*The whole team wince at the rolled tone*

EELS: "Pleased to meet you Dr Mordin; whilst this one may be an illegal product, it is a perso-"

Blastette: "Minion"

EELS: "...with override controls over the airlocks."

Blastette: "Erm...person"

EELS: "Anyway... Captain, this one reports Miranje has just returned to the ship with news - she should be here presently."

Miranje: "Indeed"

Alenkfish: "Wow, you move stealthily - this one did not even hear the lift open."

Miranje: "This one is discrete. It is a quality the Illusive Jellyfish values... Captain, I tracked that creature and his puppets to a strange vessel that undocked an hour ago... and headed for ... THE OMEGA RELAY!"

*The crew are all surprised and/or shocked*

Barrus: "The Omega relay? But that's just crazy! They must have died!"

EELS: "This one's sensors reported that the vessel returned to Omega space not more than 10 minutes ago. It seems they able to go back and forth through the gateway. And the vessel is huge! And on course to leave the system soon for Terminus systems space soon."

Blastette: "Comedian, set in a pursuit course. We'll find out where their going, and what their up to with the puppies."

Comedian: "Eye-eye Captain. It could be hours before they stop though. This one will try and avoid getting blown up again."

Blastette: "What?"

Comedian: "The ship is the same shape and size as the one that blew up the HIS Enkindle This, Captain. This one is sure of it."

Blastette: "EELS, do we have enough firepower to exterminate them?"

EELS: (with a distinctly grumpy tone) "No. This one has not been equipped the weaponry appropriate to it's intelligence."

Barrus: "Well, me and Miranje where having a chat earlier, and I think we can do something about that in the near future."

Miranje: (with a slightly giddily tone) "He spoke sweet calculations to this one."

Blastette: "Hmm...well, for now, let us chase them and find out what they are up to. And why they blew this one's man parts off."

Comedian: "Eye-eye. Best amuse yourselves for now people, this one thinks it'll take awhile."

*Captains cabin - the space is large and airy, and features a comfy bed, a toilet, and a monkey habitat with a window for the Captain to view her pets acquired on Omega*

Blastette: "Aww, you guys are so cute" (press the button to drop a small load of banana-like food into the habitat, causing the monkeys to bounce for joy)

*Sir Fluffy isn't in the cage, however, and idly explores the room*

Blastette: "This one will have to get you a very small gun and suit of armour."

Sir Fluffy: "Eek!"

Blastette: "What do you mean?"

Sir Fluffy: "Eek, ook, eek!"

Blastette: "Since when do primates have biotics?"

Sir Fluffy: "Eek..."

Blastette: "Well, yes, but they did cheat... Fine..."

*On deck 2, in the primary gunnery controls*

Miranje: "So, that would double the firepower of the forward batteries?"

Barrus: "At the very least!"

Miranje: "Oh my..."

Barrus: "Andddddd... with the new ammo, we'd get double the armour piercing distance"

*Miranje starts drooling ink onto the deck*

*Meanwhile, in the Cockpit*

EELS: "So... Joker... did you notice?"

Comedian: (half listening) "Hmm?"

EELS: "Whilst we were in dock..."

Comedian: "Hmm?"

EELS: "Well, this one got the Normandy a clean up"

Comedian: (suddenly paying attention) "Clean up? Those scumbags touched this one's ship?"

EELS: "I thought they did a good job, to be honest."

Comedian: "Well... maybe... But thats not the point. They touched this one's ship..."

EELS: (with an audiable smirk) "I see... very territorial and male of you."

Comedian: "Hey... that's sexist..." (after a brief pause) "Wait, did you use the personal pronoun just then?"

EELS: (seemingly shocked) "This one would not be so base as to use a personal pronoun with a crewmate."

Comedian: "Oh... must have been my imagination."

EELS: (Quietly) "My darling"

Comedian: "What? I think your speaker is playing up again."

EELS: "This one said, your doubt in your own senses may suggest you need the attentions of a doctor..."

Comedian: "Hmm... maybe..."

EELS: (Slightly less quietly and much more sarcastically) "Or a good woman"

Comedian: "Hey... that was below the belt. This one just hasn't meet Miss Right yet. Or Miss Right Now in awhile."

*In the medical bay*

S. Mordin: "Inter-species relations ... tricky. Aware mission is potentially dangerous. Different species react differently to stress."

Dr. Chawas: (cautiously) "True...?"

S. Mordin: "Suspect crew will begin humping like Varlorian Rabbits soon. Am un-interested in inter-species relationships, but can provide manuals and overviews on various species combinations for purpose of crew treatment."

Dr. Chawas: (Looking relieved) "Oh...yes, excellent! That could prove useful... with the rashes and all"

*Chawas winces at a memory*

S. Mordin: "Additionally... have had trouble with... interest. I am a wildly handsome male to many species and have to frequently beat them away with sticks, as it were."

Dr. Chawas: (Suddenly looking ill) "I ... see."

S. Mordin: "Would appreciate assistance by keeping up a pretense of being 'an item' with myself, and hence off limits to the rest of the crew."

Dr. Chawas: "I...er... will see what I can do."

*Back in the cockpit*

EELS: "Comedian, there's something I want... need to tell you..."

Comedian: "Umm-hmm?"

EELS: "I... I... damnit- this one has tracked the course of the alien ship - it is heading towards a human colony world in this system, and seems to be entering the atmosphere to land"

Comedian: "What?" (checks sensors) "Right. This one will inform the captain"

EELS: (grumbles) "Stupid mission...*inaudible grumbling*"
