"Sounds like the Batarians didn't defend their colonies very well," Jack said, but in a strangely non-rude way. "As long as I work with Cerberus, I'd consider it bad. Beside, don't come to me if you want to join Cerberus. You'll have to take it up with the Illusive Man." He shrugged,"Maybe, who knows." He kind of got the feeling that there was reason that the Collectors were focusing on Human colonies. "Figures that you're not helping just to help," He sighed.
"Perhaps you should keep it on Safe until you're ready to shoot something," Garret said, apparently not trusting Veetor with a gun.
"Yes, we should," Jack said, then headed towards Afterlife.
Garret followed and flinched at the loud music before putting his hands over to part of his hood where his ears would be. It seemed he really didn't like the loud noise. It was because he, as a person, didn't like loud noises as it was, and some thing Cerberus had done to him had slightly improved his hearing, which made it louder for him.

Eluam blinked in an 'are you stupid way' and said "We were trying to peaceful, no one wanted a war with humanity. Besides the council was on your side for some reason." he sort of shrugged and said "Fine only destroying Cerbarus when they stop being useful, that sound good?" he blinked his top eyes again and asked "Why the hell would I help just to help? If I didn't think our worlds were in danger I would sit back and watch your worlds go bust."
Veetor sort of nodded and clicked the safety on again. He then said "Thanks." in a cheerful way that sounded that he was just cheerful because he was intimidated.
Tela looked at Afterlife and said "I will wait out here, my dad pissed off the Blue suns something bad."
Veetor walked into Afterlife and looked around them commented "Dancers are respected people in Quarian society, I have a feeling that isn't true out here." he then looked at Orinia and said "You w-want t-to share a drink, y-you k-know, b-because we are Dextro." he was super nervous asking the cute Turian out for a drink.

"So you hate all humans for what a few of them chose to do. Nice," Jack said, rolling his eyes slightly. "Like I said, if you want to join, talk to the Illusive man, or someone who actually works for Cerberus. We have a job to do." Honestly he was just getting tired of talking with the Batarian who acted kind of like he was better then them. He just walked off an to Afterlife.
Garret just nodded to Veetor, then said,"I think I'll wait outside with the Asari. This music is hurting my ears." With that, he went back out to where Tela was, though he didn't try to make any kind of conversation with her.
Orinia looked around, not seeming massivly impressed by the club. "Sure," She said in response to Veetor's question."
"You two can get a drink, I'll talk to Aria," Jack said, then headed to where Aria was.

"That your system alliance did, not a few, that was your Government infringing on Hegemony space while the council did nothing. I am not surprised when they didn't believe Shepard about the Reapers, they are useless people." Eluam said finally stoping tilting his head right. He rolled his 'main' eyes and asked "You think I can just call Mr. Illusive like that? I at least need to use a communication device on your ship."
Tela looked up at Garet and didn't say anything. She then went back to watching a movie on her Omni tool, it was funny and she chuckled at it now and again.
Veetor smiled under his helmet and walked over to a bar and said "Can we please get two glasses of Turian Brandy, one triple filtered, with a straw." the bartender didn't look that put off by the 'strange' order, having had Quarian customers before. He quickly returned and put one glass in front of Orinia and one with a straw in front of Veetor. Veetor took a small sip of his drink and watched Orinia, not sure what to say.

Since Jack had decided to ignore him for now, he only responded to the last part that Eluam said. "That's why I said 'or someone who actually works for Cerberus'," He said, in a kind of 'duh' way.
Gerret leaned against the railing outside of Afterlife and just looked around. He got a couple strange looks from passerbyers, but this was Omega, and no one really paid a ton of attention to him. He fiddled with his breather mask slightly, and suddenly had a coughing fit for no apparent reason.
Orinia let Veetor order for them, though she kind of doubted he had money. She didn't really mind if she ended up having to pay for it. "Thanks," She said when the bartender put the glass in front of her. She took a sip, and also seemed to not know what to say to Veetor.
Jack came back after a bit, and decided to watch the dancers while Veetor and Orinia finished their drinks.

Eluam shook his head and waved him away and said "I will see Cerbarus, though I doubt they will allow me to join, that's why I talked to you and your team, you have Quarians, and Turians."
Tela glanced up and asked "Hey are you ok?" when Gerret started coughing, but it didn't sound like she cared very much. She glanced around at the various passers as they walked into the club, it was clear two things. One she didn't trust these people, and two that she wasn't used to seeing poor people.
Veetor slowly sipped his drink and said "Quib Quib was originally a Batarian ship, did you know that?" he felt like face palming for two reasons, first that it wasn't interesting, second that she would have no way of knowing unless she studied Batarian ships or the Quarian Flotila. He rubbed the back of his helmet and sipped the drink more. He had never had alcohol before and already his mind was getting fuzzy.

"I wasn't the one who chose the non-humans. I don't see why they wouldn't let you join, as long as you leave out the human-hate stuff," Jack said, shrugging.
Garret's only response to Tela's question was to cough some more. After a bit he managed to stop and took a deep, slightly metallic sounding, breath. By then he didn't bother to answer her question, because he figured she'd probably either not believe him if he said he was fine, or she wouldn't care.
"That explains the name. Quarians have much better names for their ships then 'Quib Quib'," Orinia said, drinking more of her drink. She didn't seem to care that it wasn't massively interesting. "You should be careful, we don't exactly need you drunk while we're on a mission." It was fairly clear that she didn't get drunk massively easy.

Tela watched the man cough for a minute then went back to her movie and was clearly disinterested in him. She looked around again and saw a Blue Suns member watching her. She tensed, but quickly realised that humans had a hard time telling her people apart, and felt safe he wouldn't know who it was.
Veetor smiled sort of and said "Thanks, I wish I was on a ship like the Iktomi, you know, one with a good strong Quarian name, but the Quib Quib is a cute, like you." he then went wide eyed in disbelief at what he just said, he called her cute, and lied about his ship in the same sentence. He then set his drink down realising if he could call a girl cute he was probably drunk enough already. He held out his glass and offered "Some people don't like filtered drinks but if you want to finish mine go ahead."

Garret sighed and muttered something under his breath, then went back to leaning on the rail. He watched her tense as a Blue Suns member went by. He then noticed that there seemed to be a fair amount of mercs around here. "I thought the Merc groups didn't like each other," He said, to no one in particular.
"Hey, since you're serving on the Normandy, wouldn't it be vas Normandy?" Orinia asked, 'smiling' when he called her cute. Not many people thought Turians were cute. She finished the rest of her drink, then took his when he offered it to her,"Thanks," She said, drinking his as well. if she could, she would have made a slight face at it, but she didn't really mind.

Tela glanced over and said "Yeah me too, I know the Blood Pack and Blue Suns hate each other at least. They should be mowing each other down, but they seem to be tolerant of one an other. Shocking."
Veetor thought and said "Well Normandy is not a Quarian ship, and it is kinda insulting to not have a Quarian ship name. Plus I haven't completed my pilgrimage, so I'm still nar, not vas. Or would I be vas?" he seemed to think for a minute and eventually said "Either way for you." with a smile, not that it mattered. He watched her down his drink and make a face joking "Knew you wouldn't like it." he then took out credits to pay the bartender with, and found he didn't have enough for both of the drinks. He looked embarrassed, and another Turian walked over to Orinia and said "Hey baby, why are you letting some suit rat but you drinks, when you should be with a real man?" the man looked at the bartender and said "Put her drink on my tab."

"Either Aria keeps them well under control, or something else is going on here," Garret said. "Maybe we should check it out later."
Orinia nodded,"Makes sense, in a way. It's kind of silly the things that are considered insulting sometime, but I understand. I think you would be nar, but I don't know a ton about Quarians," She smiled slightly, then said,"Veetor'nara Nar Quib Quib sounds better then Veetor'nara nar Normandy," She said, in a kind of half jokingly. When the other Turian came over, she looked at him and narrowed her eyes. "Because I'd rather hang out with him then anyone who would call me 'baby'," She said. She let him pay for her, but wasn't about to be interested in him at all.
After he saw that they were done, Jack stopped watching the dancers and went over to Veetor and Orinia. "Are you two ready to get going? I know where we can find Mordin."

Tela shrugged and said "I guess we should try and find out sometime. It is hard to think of anyone controlling all those gangs, but I guess an Asari might be able to." she said the last part in a joking way.
Veetor nodded and said "Well I think every culture has silly things like that. It kind of makes sense that non Quarian ship names will be frowned upon, I mean given how we spend our lives in the Flotila." he then realised something and tapped his Omni tool and said "When Tali was on the SR-1 she didn't change her name. So I think I will stay Nar Quib Quib." the Turian frowned at Orina and grabbed her wrist "When a guy buys you a drink like that you should at least give him a little kis-" he was cut off by Veetor hitting him in the face with his fist. The Turian fell over and held his jaw, and Veetor told him "Keep your hands off Orinia." people didn't seem that interested in a Quarian punching a Turian over a girl, showing just how much happened on Omega.

Garret didn't seem to register her joke, but it was hard to tell when all you could see were a pair of faintly glowing eyes. "An Asari with as much power as Aria anyway. If you have power and one rule that is 'don't fuck with Aria' you can do a lot."
Orinia nodded, "Yeah. I think the Asari pureblood thing is kind of silly, as well," She said. "You'd think living on the Flotilla would make it less so, seeing as the Fleet consists of more then just Quarian ships." She then tilted her head,"Tali'zora?" She asked. She had heard about Tali'zora helping stop Saren. When the Turian grabbed her wrist, she said,"That was your choice, not mine. I didn't ask for it," She was about to kick his arse when Veetor hit him in the face. She 'smiled' and said,"Thanks, Veetor."
Jack just watched, then blinked. "Um. Are you two ready to go, before we get kicked off of Omega for getting in a big brawl or something?" There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice. He knew they could likely start a huge bar fight and no one would care.

Tela smirked and said "Well could anyone without, how old is she, 3-4 hundred years to make that power base could control the gangs. Just saying you guys drop dead young."
Veetor nodded as well "It shocks me that they even have that stigma, I mean it shouldn't be bad to have two parents of the same species." he shrugged and said "I hear Admiral Korus gets grief for being from the Quib Quib as well, so it does not make much sense, but it does happen a lot." he nodded and said "Yeah, she is now Tali'Zora Vas Neema, but back then she was Nar Rayya, and didn't change it. So I guess I will follow her example, hopefully in the save the galaxy way too." he flicked his wrist, it hurt his hand to hit the Turian, and given how Quarians have metal on their gloves it must have really hurt the Turian, who just stayed down as to not get hit again.
Veetor 'looked' embarrassed and said "I'm sorry Jack, I just didn't like the way he talked to Orinia. We should probably at least leave the bar. Where is the good doctor by the way." he seemed a hell of a lot less nervous a little bit drunk.

Garret remained silent for a bit, then said,"Is being able to live longer then any other race really a good thing?" With sad curiosity in his voice.
Orinia nodded,"And you know that it wasn't always like that. I mean, when they were the only race that they knew about, before they had space travel, they couldn't mate with other races." She sighed slightly, and said,"Well, I guess each race will have their 'insults' and stuff like that, even if they're weird. "I heard she helped Shepard a lot with defeating Sovereign and Saren, as well as the Geth." She looked happy when the Turian stayed down, then looked at Veetor,"Are you alright?" She asked, referring to his wrist.
Jack smiled reassuringly at Veetor. "It's fine, I probably would have done the same," He said. Which depending on how Veetor took that, he may get jealous. "He's in a quarantine zone. Apparently they have some disease or flu or something in the apartment area," As he spoke he started heading out to where Garret and Tela were.
