warnings. Nothing as of yet, will update accordingly.

Scenario I: Zeta District- If one is to be stuck somewhere for an extended period of time, it's a good idea to get a feel for the neighborhood. Poke around in corners and all that, get weird looks from NPC's. Like moving into any new place.

Getting to know the neighbors is probably a good idea too. He's not going door to door introducing himself or anything, but he's more than happy to chat with anyone who approaches.

Y'know, assuming you don't come at him with a shotgun. He's prepared for that, too.

Scenario II: Afterlife- Outside or inside. If outside, Kirrahe is hanging around near a group of whiny alien NPC's, nonchalantly listening in to whatever random conversation they're having. The elcor bouncer keeps giving him weird looks, but Kirrahe doesn't seem to care.

If inside, he's doing much of the same, though is likely spending much of his time cloaked (most likely how he got in in the first place 8U). If he's not hanging out near a random wall, he'll be at the bar. You'd be surprised how much information you can pick up from a bunch of drunks.

Scenario III: Omega Market- Seeing as Kirrahe's weapons and equipment are outdated by a good three years, you bet your ass he's going to be out price checking. Whether or not he'll actually be able to afford any of this stuff in the near future remains to be seen. Still, weapons can make for interesting conversations.

It's been a long while since she's had the experience of being unable to afford anything - the Normandy wasn't completely limitless in resources, but when it came to what she needed, it was certainly as good as. Of course, at this point, it's been so long since she's seen real currency at work and not just some kind of stunted trade system, she's barely used to price tags anymore.

Let alone the problem of affording them. (She can't.)

So when she catches sight of a familiar looking salarian, she's at one of the weapons vendors effectively window shopping, and in a few steps, she's standing next to him.

"This is like the galaxy's worst Pilgrimage." Almost as much to herself as to him - and then, "Major Kirrahe, right?"

It wasn't every day he was approached by a quarian. The only one he knew of that would know him by name was the one from Shepard's crew, and even then they'd only met briefly. Though it had happened a few times already, Kirrahe still found it a bit odd to be referred to as 'Major'. The whole time paradox thing or whatever was still taking some getting used to. He stepped away from the weapon display he'd been browsing and crossed his arms.

"Captain, actually. There's some sort of three year time difference thing involved that I'm still trying to grow accustomed to."

It wasn't the most scientific explanation for it, but it was sufficient enough. He gave the quarian a friendly nod.

"Tali'Zorah, was it? You're one of Shepard's crew."

She bites back a reassurance that he'll get used to it. It'd be a hypocritical thing to say, really, considering she's barely used to the various time issues that spring up in places like these - and she's not quite so new to it. It always feels like you're just getting over one thing when another bursts in and makes everything else seem like child's play.

Instead, she settles with, "That's right. Shepard's crew." A beat, and then. "The female one."

She's heard of that issue as well - best to just get it out of the way.

"Right, I heard about that."

All things considered, the fact that there were two Commander Shepards running around probably threw Kirrahe off the most. Being three years in the future was weird, sure, but he'd spent enough time catching up on news feeds and other files to have a good idea what to expect. But double Shepard? Nope, still totally weird.

"I'm afraid I haven't had the opportunity to meet her yet. I'm familiar with the male."

"I haven't met the male version." Not here, anyway, but that involves too many explanations that aren't really relevant to their situation. Not anymore. A huff of breath and then, with a wry grin, "They're Shepard. We probably won't have to wait long."

And then she's returning her attention to the market stall they're standing in front of - a weapons stand that's not exactly expensive, but is still far beyond her budget. She's armed, sure - there's a geth shotgun holstered at the small of her back - but it's not quite enough, plus,

"I don't think I've ever not even been able to afford heatsinks."

Granted, that's not a budget issue, that's a, 'she hasn't had a chance to loot them after firefights recently' issue.

"I imagine not." Reproductive organs aside, it was unlikely that these Shepards were too different from each other. Maybe. Honestly, it wasn't something Kirrahe could accurately predict.

"Heatsinks. You know, when it comes to advancing weapons hardware, that sounds like a step backwards to me." His crappy Mass Effect 1 era weapons may be outdated by today's standards, but at least he didn't have to worry about not being able to fire because his heatsinks were full. "I'm sure they have their benefits, I suppose I'd have to see them in action to really judge for myself."
