#surkesh

Conversation One:

Andrew: The thing about salarian parties is, they all do it too well. My lab group on Sur'kesh, all salarians but me, all with damn near perfect memories.

Tina: Oh, that could get awkward.

Andrew: Exactly! It was all about who burnt the cake six months ago, or arguments that two people continue when they meet up once a year...

Shepard: So they never let anything go.

Andrew: Yeah, it was constant one-upmanship. I couldn't keep pace with them if I'd wanted to.

Tina: So you don't miss Sur'Kesh at all?

Andrew: Not the humidity and not the lack of privacy. But the science was like nowhere else.

Shepard: What did you work on?

Andrew: What didn't we? Food scanners for the paranoid, chemical bonders, self-cleaning mating pools...

Shepard: Learned a lot, huh?

Andrew: For the mating pools, way more than I wanted to know.

Conversation Two:

Andrew: Hey again. Back for more tales out of school?

Shepard: Sure.

Tina: Andrew was just saying the salarians came up with satellites that eat orbiting debris. So their space isn't all cluttered like ours.

Shepard: Nice trick. What won't they think of next?

Andrew: Hair extensions, I imagine.
