"ARGGGGGGG." Came the roar from the main battery. In the mess room several people glanced at each other, however Tali just giggled.
"Don't worry he's all bark." Tali answer the unvoiced question from the crew members near her.
"I wonder what went wrong." Gabby asked looking up from her meal. Tali shrugged as she heard Garrus thumping loudly up the hall way.
"Tali, how?" Garrus looked at Tali pleading.
"How what?" Tali looked up at the towering turian.
"Everything is in a base ten." Garrus held out his hands. "Why can't they be sensible and have a base six system?" At this Garrus wiggled his six taloned fingers. "How can you keep it running when it...Argg." Garrus slumped down next to Tali, ignoring the looks from the Cerberus crew members.
"We may have started out as a base six, but we've learned to adapt to other numbering systems. Did you know that asari are a base eight system?" Tali replied offhandedly. Garrus head thumped to the table.
"Gixlouza, I only manage to actual work sixty-seven percent of the time, the other thirty-four is spent fixing errors in base differences." Garrus grumbled.
"It'll get easier with time." Tali chuckled as she head back for the engineering room.

an: I am going to try to update a bit more often, I have close to 50 pages typed that I need to read thru and then post. so far something like 40,000 words...agh that a lot.
also would like to take this moment to thank everyone who has read, reviewed, faved, or alerted this story. :) hope you are enjoying it as much as I am writing it.
also dark Garrus from Shepard's dream might make another appearance, or even spin off to its own story. I would love to see an au, with the turains and humans still at war. Where Shepard and Garrus are arch nemesis. Even if I have to write it myself.
