Need a little 'lifestyle' help

Well here is a thought; get some parts and go exploring. Quarians are sexual beings and it was just the suit that prevented you from exploring that part of your identity, so without a suit and modable body you can finally explore it to its fullest. As a matter of fact you have a greater opportunity and easier time of exploring the gamut of possibilities, so you find what you like and what you do not like.

Go for it, express yourself!

Also (depending on your own attitude) you do nor particularly need reproductive organs to have a worthy sex life. Try to be creative! Maybe even ask for suggestions.
I recommend exploring that sort of new opportunities just like breathing and eating.

You people are weird. Do not try to force him to be a sex not if he does not want to be.

Do not listen to these hormone-driven morons and haters, That Guy. Do as you please and forget the rest.

Of course! Just let me be the first to say welcome to the club (I'm probably not but let's just roll with it). It's an eclectic mix but I do love it.
Don't stress over it. No really don't stress. Having so many options in front of you can give you a bit of perspective induced vertigo but it's important to remember that any and all choices are ultimately totally, completely, yours. If you'd like to get decorative augmentics like fins, shaldai designs, spurs, spines, or display capacitors then by all means. If you'd like to get etchings and colorings done then go for it! It's really one of the perks of having a body that you can repair with relative ease, you can go a little crazy with modifications.

Have you ever been swimming? Really gone swimming, gone underwater, seen the surface all silvery and liquid above you?

You can do that now you know.

Freedom, it's a beautiful thing.

Oh come on really, is that really the best you can get up? Cogjob. Tinman. Abomination against God/Science/Nature/Spirits etc etc. Where's your good shit? Where's your A-Game? Is "Meeh meeh meeeh other people's lives have marginally improved I must take personal offense by being as hypocritically xenophobic as possible meeh" really all you've got.

I mean seriously, it's not even offensive by this point just...perplexing. And a little embarrassing. Like that dog or moxie or whatever that you haven't quite housebroken and immediately messes itself all over the rug before rolling on your guest's lap.

That's the only advice these phallus-support-systems are giving.

That Guy, I'd belittle you, but as your unessential debodification is the result of circumstances, like scale itch or muchiness, you get a pass today. Instead, I'll be outside, enjoying the fresh air, warm sun on my face, and smell of flowers.

Toodle-oo.

Neither am I driven by hormones, nor am I trying to sexualize him.
I just make recommendations from a scientific point of view.

Well I'm not too fond of you either.



Wha- no! Just... no!


Heh. You know... I might actually think about that. Once I'm done with recovery and Nitasha lets me walk around on my own that is. I mean, you know, not like the weird looks can get any worse. And I haven't really bought anything with my new salary so I have a bit... yeah. I'll think about it.

Come to think of it I should really check if I'm even allowed to go back to the Citadel if I want to take some leave...


I know you're just trying to be awful to me, but it doesn't even make sense. I have a full sensory suite. It's still being tweaked, but it's there. And I've spent the whole thread talking about how I could never do those things with my organic body anyway because of the envirosuit. So... yeah. That was kind of a large failure to make me feel bad.

But, uh, yeah. Can someone double-check C-space policy on Relicae's for me please? I don't want to try and go on a holiday and, you know, get turned away at customs for being a deadly weapon/geth platform in disguise.

Nah, You're only going to get that here (And that's after the DeCon checks as well).

Now, if you don't mind, How the heck did you get a medical plan that covered full-body replacement, and just what the fuck did you do that required that to be done?

I do not imagine that C-Sec has any problems with beth platforms on the station nowadays. And yes or no on "Can you at least eat both levo and dextro food?" I am quite curious.

Well, I kinda mentioned it before, but I guess I should explain a bit better. I work for a new company, and I was supposed to just do quarian-type work for them. You know, repairs, drone tweaking, coding, that kind of stuff. But another job came up and even though it was really dangerous I was the only person who could really do it. So I did, and I got shot. With a shotgun. And since I knew I was dying I took my helmet off, which kind of probably made things worse.

I got put in cryostasis quickly enough, but the other option was years of gene and physical therapy before I could even consider getting around on my own. And since it was kinda-sorta the company's fault I got hurt in the first place, they covered the cost of the conversion. So... yeah. That's the story.


Turns out the conversion process in my new body when I eat pretty much neutralizes the food and drink anyway. So... yes, actually. If I really wanted to, I could eat levo food.

Well, there is a way to push the limits. Try cuisine from every race you can find.

Well... considering the procedure, I'm going to assume the shotgun was one of the heavier ones such as a claymore or eviscerator fired at point-blank at the torso repeatedly. Otherwise, it's a really expensive and complex procedure to be carried out on a company budget (I will give them that it is likely a good public relations move though.)

Though how exactly does a programmer get shot by a military-grade weapon exactly?

My memory isn't exactly 100% on what kind of shotgun it was, but I do remember that it caused a catastrophic environment breach. 80% of my suit was critically breached, all of my vital organs were exposed to foreign bodies, and I didn't exactly have military-grade immunoboosters on hand. So... basically my body was actively trying to turn itself inside out and die. Which it was really feeling like at the end there.

Well I was... kind of impersonating a quarian slaver, trying to free some slaves at an auction. She turned up dead while I was still there. Long story.

That sounds like an expensive endeavor for one person. For whom were you working?

...Eighty percent of the suit breached?! That's impossible, no shotgun can cause that much damage in such a short timeframe (without it being lethal, since generally the firer tends to be able to keep shooting.). Between the estimated blood loss and the oxygen deprivation... I'm having trouble believing that's it's the original user on this as opposed to someone who managed to obtain the account..

<heavy sigh>

Okay. Of course I'm lying. It was just my near-death experience.

I'm only 18, okay? I'm 18 and malnourished. Arms like pipe-cleaners. Two blasts was all it took. They didn't keep shooting because I looked like I was dead already. So they came over to check and... well I was conscious enough to press a key on my OT and fry him. It's not the part I like to remember, especially since I feel sick and I don't think that should be possible. Dumped every drop of medigel I had for the bloodloss but the slaves and my drone had to carry me the whole way. Now can we please, please stop dwelling about the very recent time when I thought I was going to die? Please!?

Two blasts from a military-grade shotgun is, for the most part, capable of killing most beings not equipped with barriers and military-grade armour, and a heavier shotgun would have done so regardless of protection in two shots. Between that, and the choice of cybernetics (That, barring spinal damage, is a horrifically impractical for most situations.)

I'd also recommend going to see a therapist if you haven't done so. And I do apologise for pressing on the subject, but when it does come to things like this, scepticism tends to wise.

Thank you for being so precise now will you please just shut up!?

You're gonna give the kid a damn flashback or something, mate.

My stuff ain't nearly on the level of Relicae's, mate, but I second Sandy's recommendations of orgs such as S+. They were really helpful for me with everything.

If someone gives you shit, hit them, thats how i dealt with people when i got my arm. (Granted thats a kroganthing)
