Ghost in the Citadel ch 3
…
Liara uses some careful biotics to shift the fissure open, and sees many of her fellow scientists hiding, peering cautiously around corners and debris. She waves at them, her clear face mask reassuring the terrified scientists.
Then ghost pops around the corner and zooms into the fissure before she can say a word.
There are screams as many of the scientists dive for cover from the small floating ball of light, and a few of the Turians jump up and try to get in the way. They are all surprised when the little rotating cube turns back to Liara and says, "Some of them aren't human! And they aren't trying to kill us!"
"I know," Liara rolls her eyes at Ghost, "Neither am I."
"Please," Ghost seems to roll his eyes, "I know the Awoken don't like to acknowledge where they came from, but you're still human in there."
"Actually," Liara interjects as she gently grabs Ghost away from a near hyperventilating Turian, "I'm not an 'Awoken' either. I'm an Asari."
Ghost rears back, then zooms directly in front of her faceplate and assesses her appearance. Then he floats back, bobbing in agreement, "Yup, should have seen it before. Sorry…"
"Sorry about what?" Liara asks in confusion.
"Sorry I thought you were an Awoken," He replies with a metaphorical shrug.
Liara smiles at her polite little friend and nearly responds when she hears a shout from outside. Ghost zooms to the entrance, looks out, then turns back to tell her, "It's the other Guardians, they're here!"
The Asari Guardian moves to the entrance and quickly spots the 'Guardians.' They are all roughly Asari shaped, with two leaning more towards a male Batarian or Drell type physique. They must be dual gendered then.
One of the Guardians, the more Asari shaped one, quickly spots her and waves. She waves back uncertainly. The three jog up to her and then start chatting with her in an incomprehensible language.
"Uh… Ghost," Liara starts, "What are they saying?"
Ghost looks at her, then back at the Guardians, "Wow, you really are an alien, huh?"
