...That sounds convenient and terrible. The ships and stuff trying to destroy everyone, I mean. Glad your ruins aren't filled with murder monsters like ours were.

For fancy space tech that isn't trying to kill me? 'Course I do.

Well, I guess I should've said most of the time. See, those sentient spaceships also left a few bits of tech that eventually turns anyone exposed to it for a long enough time loses their mind and turns into this creepy mishmash of organic and inorganic material.
...but those were pretty rare.
[ ha... ha... ha...
but wait back to the other topic. normal space tech. that doesn't kill you or turn you into a husk. ]
Just name a time and place, and I'll meet you there. And if you have any interesting tech, bring it along too. Maybe we can swap a few stories.
Wait really? Yikes. We had Fast-Travel to get anywhere you needed. As long you had clearance for it I mean. You needed the code of the location you wanted to get to or it wouldn't work.
[ They just needed to digitize you, deconstruct your entire body, and then reconstruct it at your destination. nbd. ]
Well, I guess we had something similar, only it was more on an intergalactic scale, letting you go from one end of the galaxy to the other in a few minutes. As for more local? It was mostly just old fashioned shuttles.
[ yeah... that sounds like a philosophical nightmare waiting to happen. no offence, Rhys. ]
What, wait--intergalactic? Oh man--serious? That's. Cool, whoa. That would make things way faster. Fast Travel only works over short distances between planets and stuff. I think? I don't actually use it. Or haven't used it. I never actually had the codes or privileges when I worked for the people that did.
[ And then, you know, he crashed it all into a planet. so. ]
Yeah, it really helped us out a lot. [ a pause. ] Of course, then we discovered that it was all set up by a group of advanced aliens that were bent on wiping out all advanced species in the galaxy for reasons only known to them, but... nothing's perfect.

[ #fuck aliens
Rhys agrees, talking about normal space tech sound awesome and they should stick with that. ]
Please. I am the interesting tech.
[ Ego? What ego, Rhys has no idea what you're talking about and he definitely didn't give Garrus some fingerguns while he said it. ]
How about North District? Market plaza, I'll be the good-looking guy with the cool arm.

[ excuse you, Rhys #notallaliens ]
I'm not sure I have access there. How about one of the lounge areas up on the station?
[ and he's not going to comment on human attractiveness. because then things would just get embarrassing. ]

Oh...okay yeah sure. I'll pop on up. Forgot you guys have to spend a few days up there recuperating or whatever.
