"Encrypted Message to Hawt Dog"Good to hear that you are alive. Noveria has been an ideal place for rebuilding; its laboratory infrastructure has allowed me to begin establishing a research program without the costs of building isolated facilities in unexplored star systems. The iceball is also an ideal place to acquire information. Over the past months, I've been working on spreading my network out to Alliance, Batarian, and Terminus space, but it's been going slow.

Encrypted Message to "Cerastes" Due to circumstances beyond my control, I will be out of contact for the foreseeable future.

Forward any updates on your findings to this address.

Encrypted Omnitool Message to query "OneClassyBloke" Mr. Anbel:

Understood.

Sincerely,

Private Message to 'Officer_Kyr'Hi.

You don't know me, but apparently you killed the Brute that got my brother, back when the Reapers occupied the Citadel. Red-haired human civilian guy with a fucking pistol he'd shot twice before then. So...thanks, I guess. I owe you one.

-Natalie King

Encrypted PM to RememberTheBlitzThat sounds grand. What are your assets looking like? I've got...uh, one secret space station in the Horsehead, two probe frigates and an Athabaska fitted for fuel hauling. 20 guys or so. Some stragglers have pinged me outside the cluster, they ran to Terminus as soon as Citadel got nabbed by squids. If you have any loose credits to toss my way, I'd be glad. Need something for running costs and wages while we try find more minerals to sell. Damn cutthroats forced me to cede all my findings to the corp maintaining fueling stations in Pax in exchange for hydrogen.

"Encrypted communique to Hawt Dog"That sounds rough. Both [R]SC and the shipyard have been doing fairly well, so I'll see if I can divert a few funds your way. Unfortunately, I'm going to need to save most of this money for the upcoming bid on Quor'shev's seat on the NDC. If it's just He-3 you need for fuel, I may be able to help you out with that; we've built a few gas giant skimmers at the shipyard, which have been making fuel runs in an uninhabited system a few parsecs from Pax. I could lend you one, if you thought it would help. If it's anti-matter you need, well... I'm sort of wishing I hadn't blown up that Cerberus solar array during the war. Would have been useful around now.

Encrypted Communique to PalmerThe Kite's Nest is only a single relay transit from Noveria, so while transport is not cheap, it's hardly exorbitant. When you're sending delicate equipment and more than four people, it's actually cheaper to buy a two use relay license for your own ship.

I only have a few people in the Terminus systems right now, but I'll have one of them on Omega to meet you.

Encrypted Omnitool Message to query "une serpente verte" Ms. Vedral:

I have Mr. Anbel. A recent eviction notice delivered to a pseudonym has led me to believe he is currently lodging at [this apartment] on Omega, located at the outer rim of a volus ethnic community.

It is in Blue Suns territory. Be prepared.

Sincerely,
Cerastes S.

PS: He may have key information leading to Suri'Neyvi. I would refrain from executing him at first sight, tempting as it may be. Preserve and procure his possessions at all costs.

PM from VeshI've been on assignment a lot recently, but can either of you kindly tell me what the fuck is going on back on Illium?! Back in my day Eclipse didn't hire teenage fucking quarians. Either whoever was working the desk took a few too many biotic Slams to the head, or is in serious need of more.

Athame. I knew Command has its problems, but I had no idea the recruiters were as insane as Sederis herself. If we've sunken to the point of hiring this pathetic excuse for a sapient... I need a drink. A strong one.

Sorry for the late reply - reception out here's shocking. Omega, for the record, not Illium, but I'll do my best. Whereabouts have they got your lot stationed these days?

So, yeah, Suri'Neyvi. Tides.

Best guess from what I've been able to dig up (which isn't much, let me tell you) is that she was part of one of the little league companies Command snapped up during the Relay outage. No idea who she's with, where she's stationed or even what role she's got. Hope what they say about her's true, at least. Weird, being on the same side as tides-damned Abattoir's protege or whatever.

As for the drink, well, you and me both. I'll shout you something next time we're walking the same ground - hopefully without some obnoxious krogan starting shit and ruining the night. Tides.

Kick tzu out there, alright?

Hey, Juhani!

I understand you've been having a rough time as of late, and when I last saw you at the meetup, you looked pretty torn up. How would you like to have dinner with me and my SO? We can patch things up and end the name-calling and everything. I want to be your friend.
My wife will cook, just name what you'd like. Just hit me back with details of when you'd like to and we'll work it into our schedules.

Sarah

PM to VigilantVanguardTell her to cook hamburgers and I'll be there.

"Reply to Juhani"
Thursday, [here], my place?

PM to VigilantVanguardDeal

PM to user asari_promiscuity Hey

Staying really late at the office tonight - there's a lot to deal with. If you end up with a bunch of messages from HR, don't worry, I took care of it. They might be hiring a few new technicians soon, since we're coming out of the hiring freeze. I'll make sure they know you have to vet any final decisions.

I say stuff like this a lot, but it's been two and a half years and you're still the love of my life. Have fun out there tonight, go get laid, etc. We'll probably get home around the same time in the morning; talk to you then.

-Ana

"PM to Disingenuous-Mechanic"
Violence begets violence, anger solves nothing. It'll take a lot more than words to drive me to act on my anger.
Sure, my feelings get hurt. I've been driven to tears because of some of these people.
But part of me deserves it. I'm desperately trying to redeem myself, and lashing back at people who have nothing better to do than insult a broken woman isn't going to do it.

Thank you for your empathy.

-Sarah.

PM to VigilantVanguardYou're right of course. But that's still a lot of self control. More than I've had in the past. Sometimes you have to learn your lessons the hard way right?

Hey and another thing. Acknowledging you did something wrong is one thing, but you can't just let that dictate the rest of your life. I'm just a kid though so no need to listen to me. But here's a pointless gesture from someone who lost her mother to Cerberus. I don't know what you did, but I forgive you. Maybe it isn't my place, but I think you needed to hear that from someone.

Thank you for trying to do the right thing.

-Karina

"PM to Disingenuous-Mechanic"
I lost my mother to Cerberus too. My brother, my coworkers, the majority of my adult life. I joined on when I was barely 18.
I got out before they went insane during the Reaper invasion. I'm sorry for your mother. I promise you I had nothing to do with it.
I know you're going to take back your forgiveness now, but I'm not going to sit back and lie to you about who I am.
I was a soldier for the organization and I did what I did, and now I'll spend the rest of my life trying to make amends.

Sarah

PM to VigilantVanguardI figured you were probably a member at one time. All the people talking about you being a terrorist and you getting immunity somehow gave me the idea. I'm not taking it back Sarah. I still forgive you. I've done terrible things too. I didn't do the same things as you, but I have a vague idea where you're coming from. If I told you my story you might not think my forgiveness is so strange. Go live your life, if not for yourself do it for your wife. She wants you to be happy right?

Be well

-Karina

PM to user Ana'Therion vas NedasNo problem love, I'll pick up an extra shift at the Oasis tonight to keep me out of mischief. :) Oh, speaking of mischief - very hush-hush secret, don't tell anyone, but a certain trilogy-concluding film project? Confirmed as going ahead, with yours truly (very yours truly) involved. Just a small role, as usual, but worth a celebration anyway. If you haven't got anything planned tomorrow morning, howsabout we have a lie in - probably good to anyway, after a late night, but it's nice to have a specific reason (aside from I-adore-you-and-love-you - if we let that become a reason to skip work until midday, the company'll be on decidedly shaky ground).

Looking forward to early morning, then. Love you, my Ana.

-Your Daia
