🢖  ⸻      ❝    oh!   shepard!   you startled me.   i was trying to—   well...   with everything going on,  i was hoping to try and figure out this tech we found on our last mission.   it must be very important,  because with every try i make,  it just seems to lock itself down more.   but if it was geth tech,  it would’ve initiated a self-destruct sequence by now.    ❞

tali’s hand waves over the supposed tech in question with her omni tool   —   it doesn’t look like much,  metal humming with a low frequency and single line of light aglow,  brightening briefly when the young quarian types something into her tool only to go dimmer than before.   fingers twitch over glowing orange,  eyes narrow behind mask,  shoulders tense;   after a few moments of staring it down,  she sends her drone out.

❝    chatika,  see if you can do anything about this.    ❞   head turns to the commander,  head tilted low after a moment.   ❝    i’ll crack it eventually,    ❞   is said with a sheepish tone,  ❝    but i wanted it to be a surprise.   but now that you know—   uh,  did you want to look at it?    ❞
