Tela thought for a minute then shrugged and said "Actually I think it is, I mean we supply some of the best researchers, starship captains, admirals, generals, all because we have centuries to learn the stuff. I also don't really see a downside to outliving everyone."
Veetor nodded as well and said "Yeah, I mean like with us too, before we lost our homeworld we couldn't have had that stigma." he then nodded and shrugged saying "I guess our races are all just that petty, I mean what do humans say about people like that? It is only Human. Well I guess it is only Quarian, or Asari." he nodded and said "I thought the stories might be hyped up a little, but she really did help a lot. You know I actually met her once." he kept shaking his hand and said "Yeah, I just, I never punched anyone before."
He kind of tilted his helmet in the way that would indicate that he was raising an eyebrow and said "Not about Orinia I hope." there was a little bit of fear and threat in his voice, though he did oddly feel jealous given how Jack was very open about those things, and didn't have to wear a suit." his voice filled with concern "A flu? Could it hurt anyone? I mean I will go alone if you think it is dangerous. If I get enough exposure to the flu I probably had enough germs from the air to kill me."

Garret frowned, though it obviously wasn't noticeable. "Well, you outlive all of the other races, so if you make any friends from another race, you have to watch them all get old and die. You have to deal with more pain then the other races, having more time to get injured over and over again, and you have to deal with more sickness, too," He said, naming the reasons that outliving everyone could suck,"And if we fail, you could live long enough to see the Reapers destroy and harvest everything that they can."
Orinia nodded. She couldn't really think of any turian stigmas, but she was sure there had to be one of some sort. She then nodded, looking slightly confused about the meaning of the saying, but like she didn't really care to know. "Well, if you want to know what all she did, you could probably ask Joker or Jack to tell you about her. Unless she told you everything there is to know about what all she did. Now that you mention it, I ran in to Garrus once. We didn't talk or anything, I just bumped into him, literally." She nodded slightly and 'smiled' when he said he was fine.
Jack looked from Veetor to Orinia, then said,"Why not? I mean, I would defend her from a creep just as much as you, but for different reasons." He shrugged,"If anyone should be going alone, it's me. It affects all races, other then humans and Vorcha. I also heard news about someone named Archangel that apparently all the merc groups hate. Perhaps a group should go investigate that, too." He said all of that where Garret and Tela were in earshot.
"I can go with you," Garret said to Jack,"I'm human, after all."

Tela looked at Garret and sighed saying "That is true, but we Asari enjoy the time with our friends., rather than thinking we are going to lose them. That isn't to say watching them grow old isn't going to affect me, I will just focus on the good times." she kind of raised an eyebrow and said "You don't know that, a lot of humans get hurt more in 10 years than I could in 150." she thought about the last thing and said "That would be.... Interesting, heartbreaking, but interesting."
Veetor nodded and said "I might go see Joker sometime, he seems funny." he tilted his head slightly and said "She actually didn't talk about it too much, other than how cool the drive core was. We were working on the Rayya's secondary engines, she was helping me because I want to join Rayya after my Pilgrimage. I was too embarrassed to ask her about anything other than the engine." he 'smiled' at her and said "Really, cool, I hear he is a handsome Turian." he facepalmed, or more helmetpalmed at what he said and felt embarrassed.
Veetor sounded embarrassed and said "I thought you ment you would protect her for the same reasons I would. I'm sorry commander." he shook his head, he wouldn't let Orinia anywhere near a place that had a flu that would make her sick, probably because sickness is a much bigger deal in Quarian's minds. He then said "Why don't you me, and the new human go get the doc, the rest sit tight, or do whatever you military people say."
Tela glanced back over at the door when people walked out and said "I'm not going to any place that might kill me with a flu."

Garret listened to what Tela said, just staring straight ahead. He stared fore quite a while without blinking, and it seemed as though he didn't need to. He then blinked and looked at Tela,"A lot more Asari are going to get hurt now, with the Reapers here," He said.
"I think there's a reason he's called 'Joker'," Orinia said jokingly. She nodded slightly, then said,"Maybe she didn't want to talk about it. You never know, thinking about those times might be upsetting for her. Specially with Shepard dead." She then shrugged,"Eh, if you say so," She said, clearly not really having an opinion either way about Garrus being handsome.
"It's fine," Jack said. He then looked at Orinia and Tela, then back to Veetor,"I don't see why they couldn't try to get to Archangel while we do this. Who knows how long he's going to last with all the merc groups working together to get him. If you need help, you could always see if you can find that Batarian."
He looked at Tela, then said,"I wasn't asking you to." He then looked at Garret and Veetor,"Let's go. Make sure your suit's all sealed well and stuff, Veetor." With that, he started heading towards the quarantine zone.
Garret adjusted his mask slightly and followed.

Tela sighed and said "Your right, but maybe we can stop them before they get here. I mean maybe we can blow up their relay to wherever they are. Then they would be stuck." She seemed to be thinking of something. She was thinking about Thesia, and a sunset.
Veetor chuckled and said "I would imagine." he kind of sighed and said "That's what I imagined, I mean seeing a ship explode is bad enough, but it must be so much worse with someone on it. Learning from her was fun though, she is very understanding about mistakes." he sighed with relief and said "I think I heard Tali say that once though."
Tela nodded to Jack and said "We could do that, no worries. Don't worry Veetor I will take care of your girlfriend." she seemed to say that just to make him embarrassed. She then thought and added "Plus if all else fails I can make a barrier bubble. That should allow me to make a call to get enough money to get at least me and Orinia out of that situation."
When Jack said Barbarian he was tapped on the shoulder and Eluam said "I have been following you for a while. Didn't you notice?" he knew given that humans had a hard time Barbarians apart and there were a lot on Omega that he probably didn't notice.
Veetor looked at Jack and said "I think I would dead if my suit wasn't properly sealed. And if it is breached I think I would be dead either way." he simply followed and asked "Maybe we could ask cerbarus to send some of those cool assault troopers to help Orinia if she needs help."

Garret nodded,"Hopefully. W-Shepard stopped them from coming through their Relay before, but we can't blow it up. At least, not the main one they use. Unless you plan on blowing up the Citadel They may have another, though. I don't know if they can get here without using a Mass Relay. I mean, we don't know if Sovereign used one or not." He sighed. It was possible to tell that he was sad and thinking about something by the way his eyes looked.
Jack jumped when Eluam tapped him on the shoulder, then turned towards him. "Why were you following my when you could be contacting Cerberus about working for them?" He asked, but didn't really seem to care.
Orinia shot Tela a glare, "I can take care of myself," She snapped. She was clearly the type that didn't like being looked after...unless it was by Veetor, apparently. "We'll be fine," She said,"A biotic and a skilled sniper, plus maybe a Batarian."
Jack headed to the quarantine zone and saw a guard trying to stop some girl from getting in to get stuff from her apartment. He went up to the guard and said,"I'm looking for Mordin Solus. Can you let us in?"

Tela sighed and said "That was what? Two years ago he stopped them, I take it they either have a backup relay, or by now have built one. You have to remember that they built the network of Mass Relays." she thought and said "Sovereign had time to get out without one, I mean they don't need food, or supplies, so it could have taken a nice leisurely 50,000 years to get here."
Eluam tilted his head to the right again and said "Cerbarus would surly shoot a Barbarian on sight if I was there alone. I will come with you back to your ship, then ask the commanding officer of Cerbarus units."
Tela rolled her eyes and said "The Hierarchy would be proud I'm sure. I thought a biotic would be very valued in the Hierarchy, shouldn't you be in the military?" she then smirked and added "Unless your defended by your boyfriend I assume." and pointed at Veetor and added "By the way Veetor, you don't exactly hide your feelings, I mean your entire species." Veetor just looked embarrassed.
The guard looked at Jack, then at Veetor, then at Garret. He mostly paid attention to their armaments and said "You go ahead, I don't want to get shot."

Garret nodded,"Yes. Two years ago," His voice was quiet, as if he was thinking of memories. He nodded,"If the Reapers created all that stuff, all that we thought was Prothean, what created the Reapers?" It seemed as though he was just thinking out loud, rather then actually expecting an answer. "I wonder, if Sovereign had time to get here without a Relay, why didn't the others just come with him?"
Jack raised an eyebrow,"Are you sure? There are people who would say that Cerberus would never work with non-humans," He glances at all his non-human companions. "But suit yourself."
Orinia also rolled her eyes,"Clearly you just ignored everything I said before," She said, not bothering to answer her question, or respond to what she said. "Just because I let him defend me doesn't mean I can't defend myself."
Jack nodded to the guard, then headed in. "Be on your guard," He said, looking around,"There may be looters here, and Vorcha. Maybe some other people, too."
(OOC: If you want, you can skip to when they get to Mordin)

Eluam shook his head and said "You are on friendly relations with the Turian Hirarchy, Asari Republics, and Quarian Flotila. The Batarian Hegemony, not so much." he then followed Tela and Orindia, mostly just staying out of the way.
Tela shrugged and said "I heard you, I just have a hard time believing the Hierarchy would just give up a biotic. Besides I thought you Turians had a massive sense of public service." she rolled her eyes and added "I never said you couldn't defend yourself. I only said that you wanted your little Quarian boyfriend to protect you." she then turned and added "Come on."
When three new people walked into his clinic Mordin glanced up and said "Refugies, no too well equipped, gang members, no they don't hire Quarians, neither do spectres." he the paced and walked over to Veetor "Mild fever, likely do to open air exposure. Suit transfer with inadequate clean rooms. You would cheek, means forced into new suit." he continued to babble, trying to figure out where they came from.

Jack was kind of, in some ways, hoping that Cerberus wouldn't accept Eluam. Mainly because of how their conversation had gone earlier. He was also kind of wondering if Cerberus would like Garret working for them, seeing as he hated Cerberus.
"You assume they know that I'm a biotic," Orinia said, rolling her eyes. "Not all Turians are exactly the same," The way she said it was very slightly snappy,"Specially ones that aren't even raised by other Turians." She crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes,"I don't want him to, I let him. Besides, he's not my boyfriend." She followed Tela towards wherever they were headed.
Jack blinked at Mordin, wondering how he could talk so fast. "Erm, Mordin? Are you Mordin Solus? We're with Cerberus, and we need your help," He said, whenever he could manage to get a word in.
Garret muttered something under his breath when Jack said that they were with Cerberus, then fiddled with his mask for the apparent reason. He found it kind of entertaining to listen to Mordin.

"Well where were you born? Palaven, Aephus, Invictus?" she named the Turian homeworld and two large colonies, figuring she might be from one of them. She crossed her arms and said "Only one of my parents were Turian, and I'm an Asari, yet I feel that I know more about Turian culture then you." she crossed her arms and said "Sure, sure, I'm sure you just wanted to see a Quarian hit a Turian, because that is a funny thing to see." she laughed and said "Really? Were you just drinking as friends? Then you wouldn't mind if I asked him out." she had a smirk that showed she would just to screw with her, well if you knew Asari body language anyway.
Mordin nodded quickly and said "Dr. Mordin Solus." he then paced rapidly and said "Cerbarus, desperate if asking for non humans, notice Quarian, Quarian-Cerbarus hatred, explains how he got sick, they had to force him into a new suit for combat." he looked at Veetor then back at Jack. He then turned back to a patient and said "Need to help people here, widespread illness."

"Freedoms Progress," Orinia said, rather bluntly. "Why would you assume that I was born on a Turian homeworld when I was raised by humans?" She sighed and said,"One is more then none. I mean, sure, my parents were Turians, but I never knew them." She rolled her eyes,"Yeah, I totally knew that was going to happen," She said, very sarcastically. "Um, yeah. One drink doesn't make us a couple," She then shrugged and said,"Nope, not at all," And truly sounded like she wouldn't care. That was because she knew that Tela was trying to annoy her, and that Veetor didn't have an interest in Tela, or at least not much of one.
When Mordin said that he needed to help people here, Garret sighed and muttered,"Of course you do, because if you were able to just come with us, that would just be easy."
Jack tapped his foot slightly as he waited for Mordin to finish with his babbling. "You know, more people then you will save here will likely die if you don't help us...But if there's an easy way to help you, I'll do it."

Tela tilted her head "Human colony right? How weird." she then kind of sighed and said "Assumed you were adopted later. So your basically a human in a Turian body? That must have been expensive for you parents to import all your food." she continued to cross her arms and said "Yeah sure, first step on the way to a relationship, I would know." she smirked slightly and said "Good, I'm sure he will be interested to know that he wouldn't have to take off his suit to meld with me." she smirked and led the way toward an eclipse camp.
Mordin didn't look up from his patient and said "Put cure in air systems, that should do the trick. There are Blood Pack guarding, would go myself, but that would make clinic a target." he walked over to his desk then walked back to Veetor and handed him a case and said "Noticed you use handgun, you can carry case in one hand, please go now, cure can't wait." Veetor nodded to him and took the case holding his pistol in one hand, though he had mostly just been support, with things like overload. Mordin then looked at Jack and said "Daniel, my assistant was also out there, most likely captured, would apricate if you find him please bring him back."

"Yup," Orinia replied in a kind of bored way. "Nope, I was born, dumped and taken in by a human couple. And no, I'm still a Turian, I don't just look like one. They were rich, they didn't mind." She rolled her eyes and said,"Yeah, and friends drink together all the time, too. I mean, I get drinks with my buddies when I'm on The Citadel and have time." She shrugged and said,"I think he's more interested in the fact that we can eat and drink the same food then 'melding'."
Jack nodded,"Alright. Which was is it to the environmental place?" He watched as Mordin handed the case to Veetor, then looked back at Mordin,"Alright. I'll keep an eye out for him." He then started heading out of the clinic and gestured for Veetor and Garret to follow him.
Garret nodded goodbye to Mordin, the followed Jack out of the clinic.

Tela frowned slightly, in a rude way, and said "I didn't need to hear you life story." as they walked she shrugged and said "Yeah, I drink with my friends on Thessia when I'm back on the homeworld, drinks without element zero in them really lack something. But I also drink on a first date." she kept walking and said "Well the real question is, how do you feel about him? That will really determine my next move."
Veetor spoke up and said "I know where it is." he then smiled slightly under his helmet and simply followed again, he really hoped that he would not have his armour pierced. He would occasionally tell Jack to "turn left" or right, but overall he sounded like a GPS.
