OK, maybe its not 'the' scene, but we're getting there.

"Commander, is there a purpose for your wandering?" the quarian asked from just behind him.

"I'm curious, is all." Shepard replied, looking around. "This ship certainly does have some architectural design to it. It sure as hell doesn't look like anything I've ever seen."

"That is because you probably haven't." Iya replied. "This is one of the extremely rare ships that actually have quarian design, commander. A vessel of true quarian origin, unlike those patched up, pre-owned vessels."

"A true quarian ship?" Shepard asked. "Well, hot damn."

"The rooms are far more personalized than those of most ships. You are simply walking through a hall, rooms are far more well-crafted."

"Could I see one?" Shepard asked.

"I don't think any of these quarians would allow a human to walk into their homes to simply compliment its nature and design, commander."

Taking a while to think, Shepard turned to Iya and asked, "What about your room?"

She seemed surprised by the question. "Excuse me?"

"What about your quarters? It won't be considered intruding since it's your own room on the ship, and I'm asking you before we proceed."

Never losing their pace, Iya took the thought into consideration. If he was as intrigued by quarian architecture as she thought he was, where would be the harm in showing him a quarian's quarters? "Fine, commander. Follow me."

Shepard stopped to let Iya get ahead and began following her as soon as she was a good three steps ahead of him. She proceeded through several long corridors as well as a few guards before eventually reaching the place Shepard guessed were her quarters.

"Do refrain from touching anything, commander." she said as she activated her omni-tool and entered a code to open the door. Sure enough, the passage slid open and showed a rather well decorated room. Iya stepped in, followed by Shepard, who looked around at everything within the room.

"As this ship was created pre-morning war, each quarters within this ship are almost as spacious as this one." Iya stated as Shepard observed the rather open room. "Along with being open, each quarters has its own accommodation of a minor living room, a bedroom and a bathroom. Few ships have these luxuries and only the more higher ranked quarters have the bathrooms. Though it is hardly necessary, it does give us more options in ways to spend time."

"Spend time?" Shepard asked as he looked around. True to what Iya had mentioned, it was far more well decorated and constructed than the corridors.

"Along with everything I mentioned, the higher-classed quarters are outfitted with decontamination units, allowing us a form of freedom. The doors lock themselves when such procedures are made and will remain that way until someone within the room unlocks it or the shipmaster disables the lock under emergency procedures if the inhabitant of the room makes no contact within a few hours of the rooms lockdown."

"That's certainly a very keen procedure…" Shepard muttered as he observed the room even more closely. The bedroom Iya had talked about was behind a sealed door adjacent to the living room he currently stepped through. The living room itself looked little like a living room and more like an observation room, many machines taking up the living room's walls as well as a fairly large monitor being just over a terminal.

"What does that do?" Shepard asked, pointing at the terminal.

Looking at the terminal, Iya answered, "As my duty as Xen's second in command, I have access to many view points around the ship, as well as the commons area where Xen is currently performing the geth autopsy."

Walking to the terminal, Iya pressed a few keys and eventually the image of Xen and the science team appeared. "Even if I am not looking at it directly, the footage will be recorded for studies by both Xen and any science team member she deems important enough to review the autopsy personally."

Both looked as Xen had managed to not only dismantle a large portion of both geth, but also began sorting out wires she took out independently. Geth don't necessarily bleed, but something covered the admiral's gloved hands as she proceeded through the geth's inner remnants. Eventually, Xen took out a small storage unit, roughly the size of a microchip, and handed it to one of the science tea members, who took great care of the object.

"That's one of the geth storage banks." Iya stated aloud. "The geth usually have one or two, but it seems these new geth have around more than, if not exactly, a dozen. These geth may prove more valuable than we initially thought…"

Both observed the screen for a further twenty seconds before Shepard eventually looked around the quarters once more. He began roaming the room once more while Iya continued watching the autopsy. Shepard noticed a design in nearly everything within the room, mostly the common swirls and lines. Eventually, he neared the boor to Iya's bedroom. Deciding it wouldn't be bad to enter since she said it was alright, Shepard took a step to the door, which opened immediately.

The room was as standard as his own quarters, a bed on the wall in front of him with a private terminal to the right, but the bathroom Iya mentioned was on the left of the room. The room was roughly in a square with the naturally occurring quarian designs etched onto the walls. The sound of nearing steps told him Iya put her attention back on him.

"It is usually considered rude to enter a quarians bedroom without the owners consent, commander." Iya said as soon as she neared him. She stepped into her quarters and turned to face him, crossing her arms just under her breasts. "It is also rude to simply walk away from someone without informing them."

"You looked like you were intrigued by the autopsy." Shepard replied. "I didn't want to bother you and since you gave me permission to enter your home to begin with, I figured it would be alright for me to walk around."

"Well, thou thought wrong." Iya responded. "Our customs are far more different than your human ones regarding the entrance of another's home. I recommend you learn of these customs, preferably some time soon if you plan on staying with us until results come up from the geth."

"Sorry." Shepard apologized. Both kept a silence as both eyed each other. Eventually, Iya's gaze broke off as she once again looked over him. Shepard found it strange.

"Uh, Iya?" Shepard asked.

Her gaze came back to him immediately. "Yes, commander?"

"Why do you look me over?" Shepard asked. Iya maintained a neutral stance as he let the question stay in the air. "I've noticed you've done it quite periodically. Is there something you wish to know?"

Iya maintained her silence as she continued to look over him. Eventually, she spoke. "Rumors."

"Rumors?" Shepard asked.

"Indeed. There has been quite some talk concerning you, commander. Most of it has been of your physical prowess and abilities. Some of the more intriguing aspects of information revolve around youre more intimate abilities."

"Wait, what?"

"Undoubtedly, Tali has by now at least told you of a quarians basic need as well as activities." Iya stated loudly. Shepard wasn't sure if he like where this was going. If this was what he thought it was, she didn't seem to be afraid of the question let alone saying it blankly. "Quarians respect physical prowess in both males and females. It shows what we are capable both on and off the battlefield."

Letting the statement rest in the solitude between the two, Iya unfolded her arms. "I find your specific abilities to be of interest."

"Right… Iya, what exactly are you saying?"

The quarian maintained her natural stance before taking a step forward. "What I am saying is that I often times wonder what you are capable of as a male." Iya stated blankly. Shepard didn't move, but listened as she voiced her thoughts. "I figured you just another male amongst many, commander. I've only heard of you to begin with, then you came to Zorah's trial and defended her without the showing of the data you found on the Alerai."

"There was no data."

"Wasn't there? After being assigned to the ship with Xen's consent, I found the data she undoubtedly told you of. My interests concerning you started fairly before that, commander. Eventually, my interests peaked once I heard of your abilities as well as what you've done to miss Zorah."

"Wait… is this about sex?" Shepard asked.

A momentary silence later, Iya responded, "More or less, commander." The response left Shepard speechless. Eventually, Iya continued. "If you think I am the only one who is wondering this, you will find yourself mistaken. Whether it is a good thing or not, a number of females have too wondered as to what you can do when you are not fighting."

"Look, I know quarian women like intimate experiences due to your conditions and I know that if you could, you'd try them out on a regular basis, but if you are asking me to have sex with you, I cant. I already have someone with me and I prefer to have only one."

Another momentary silence later, Iya tilted her head. "I sort of knew that would be your answer, commander. Whether you think of it nicely or not, I am in it for the mere experience, and what an experience it will be for it will be none other than the famous commander Shepard."

Iya made a steady advance. Shepard found himself backing up back into the living room. "Iya, don't do this. Of everything you've done, don't let a simple curiosity of what I can do get the best of you."

"You'd be surprised, commander." the white-suited quarian replied as she advanced. "Xen herself has you in her sights."

"What?" Shepard asked in shock.

"She finds you as interesting as I do. In fact, I think it may go farther than just your abilities." Iya replied.

Finding his voice, Shepard replies, "Whether its true or not, I'm not going to do anything with you. What will Xen think of this once I tell her you tried to get the best of me? To have sex with me?"

"Tried?" Iya said in surprise. Nearing Shepard in a faster pace, Iya pressed a hand against his neck, which instantly gave him a sting. Letting her hand stay in place, Iya ran her fingers around his neck as she left the hand on the humans neck. Shepard blinked several times before feeling a darkness come over him. Iya let him go, letting the commander stagger around before eventually falling to his knees.

"I 'will' have this, commander. You will find I am far more demanding than Xen, as well as far more pursuing when it comes to goals." On that note, Iya activated the decontamination sequence she mentioned her room had. "I really should thank you for asking to go to my quarters. I never figured today would be the day, but I am glad it is."

Shepard breathed heavily as his vision became increasingly dark. Iya removed his helmet and made him look up at her. Shepard saw her remove her visor. Nearing the commander, her face exposed, Iya gave him a smile.

"You should enjoy yourself, Shepard. I do believe that for the second time, you will have yourself a virgin quarian." Leaning in, she kissed the commander on the lips gingerly. Backing away, Iya kept her smile and added, "I wouldn't have anyone else as my first."

He blacked out.

Not all quarians are as docile as we think... that, and i find a predatory quarian to being quite a good source for new adventures. Oh the things she will make him do. After all, she's a demanding one...

Well, the next chapter certainly will be... interesting. Also, again, i zone out some times, so i do hope i nailed some of the explanations.

Controversial to what people may think, Xen is the youngest member of the admirals, so her actual age is up there.
