GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Okay, let's get this over with. Look, there was some business about the shroud towers, and that Project Eternal Spring or whatever it's called. I know there was some alarm over those comments on the dirtside news sites, and I think some of them got linked to here. So I'm putting in an appearance to say sorry. Okay? Sorry. Just in case it kicked anything off. No, I'm *not* another rogue STG agent, and there isn't any such thing as "Operation: Sterilize the Mammals". I shouldn't have said that. Nor is there a plan to lay unfertilized eggs in the water supply, on Earth or anywhere else. If we want to colonize, we'll take a damn citizenship test. Nor am I a human trying to incite something. I'm sorry I kicked off that row and got those other folk banned, and if the comments did get linked to here I hope nothing like that happened on this forum. It was in bad taste of me. Is that okay?

Daughter's Eyes, the extranet's as sensitive as ever. I'm on the shrelling Citadel, okay, I haven't even seen Sur'Kesh since, oh, three years before the war.

You a scientist, frog? If so, GOOD WORK WITH THE SHROUDS! Everyone isn't on the edge anymore since the temperatures stopped being close to boiling water!

Otherwise bugger off.

Not a scientist, no. So...buggering off, I guess...

That's what I get for listening to Farlon, I suppose. It's not my fault they don't appreciate good citizenship!

It's bad enough when aliens are spreading rumors about crazy salarian scientists. We really don't need it from our own species.

Yes, it got a bit out of hand. I said I was sorry. I guess I was going for satire or something and it didn't work out.

Thresher Maw biology? And krogan law enforcement? So what exactly is this place? I thought it was just another news site or something, but if this is some Tuchankan forum then, er, I'm *really* sorry.

It used to be a news commenting site based from Cerberus, before the war. Now, we have no idea what the hell it is, only that it came back when Cerberus didn't. (At least, I hope Cerberus is still dead. If not, I still owe them a few dead Cerbies.)

And Maw Doc, what is the best way to kill a Thresher Maw on foot? Just out of curiosity.

I don't kill thresher maws, I study them. Using remote drones, it is entirely possible to get as much data as I need without getting within a kilometer of the animal.

If you really do need to kill one, find something that looks like it would make good thresher food, and strap a large, remotely-detonated explosive to it. There's a decent chance it will explode before the acidic environment destroys it.

...Well, that wouldn't have helped at all. Oh well, thanks anyways.

"No idea what the hell it is"?

I'm almost sorry I asked. But I guess that describes the state of many things now, doesn't it?

Still, thresher maws, huh? I remember some stories about them back when I worked for the humans' Interstellar Safari. Would you believe some people find all these monstrous alien creatures genuinely fascinating? Well I guess if one of you studies them for a living, then you must too. Never saw one myself, mind. I stayed in the office. I still have contacts there, not that it means much now. Safaris aren't exactly big nowadays. I thought about seeing what they're using the ships for now, what with the relays being rebuilt...Oh, never mind. Look, I've sniffed around the forum a bit. I don't think any of the comments found their way in here, but if they show up I'm sorry. Really.

This is...quite a site you've got here.

Excuse me for saying this but... that Eye

^ It's not mine. It's the all-seeing, all-curious eye of Sur'Kesh, constantly watching us, calculating exactly how fascinating it finds us on its fascination scale, sticking its ...okay, sorry. Not the time.

I ducked back in here because some turian C-Sec person has the board under official watch or something and now I know I'm going to reget having this site in my 'tool history on top of those other sites I messed up on. It's not my fault I have nothing else to do! I was going to just leave it but then I saw a thread about some guy who might be on Iness, and I've been there, so I thought I'd make up for my recent activities and post something helpful. I'm probably on some KEEP UNDER SURVEILLANCE list now or something.

Tuchankan wildlife offers an incredible opportunity to study extreme cases of selection. Thresher maws in particular are an incredible study species because they dispersed to other planets before the krogan discovered nuclear power; comparative study between pre- and post-nuclear maws presents us with an unparallelled opportunity to discover more about fundamental evolutionary processes.

Welcome to the club. Don't worry, it becomes far less invasive after the full-cavity search.
