Aisha stood in the ovular briefing room on the Arbitrator. White tiling covered the walls, and the floor was a light grey. Black lines and patterns snaked across the walls and ceiling. In the middle of the room sat a circular holoprojector, similar to those used on the Citadel. The Asari had changed from her rather impractical dress, and was now clad in an outfit much more suited to combat. It was a tight, black outfit that enhanced her flexibility in combat greatly. The outfit branced out at the top, beginning in a stiff collar with a metal justicar's necklace (she had left the order long ago, though); it didn't cover, however, her shoulders and the tops of her upper arms, part of the side of her legs, and cut down her middrift, displaying her navel. However, her left shoulder was clad in a metal shoulder pauldron, an arm-band covered part of her right upper arm, and her tall boots extended to cover part of her legs. Red designs snaked down the entire costume. This accentuated the scarlet markings that covered her face, and were present on most parts of her visible body. He jade eyes stared at the patterns on the walls.
She finally spoke to the assembled. "A Salarian design. On the walls." Aisha then turned from what she was looking at, to the recruits.
"I trust you have all settled in?"

Asling looked up from the knife she was twirling between her long fingers. She simply grinned. A little insanely, but it was a grin. She went back to twirling the knife and began muttering in Japanese. "Ki, Hi, Tsuchi, Kin, Mizu." She stared at the kinfe then said "Kin." She sighed and began tossing the knife from hand to hand. (In case you wanted to know she is saying, "Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water." she says "Metal" twice. If anyone even cares...^^)

Ysin sighed and looked around. "Yes," he muttered, "these accommodations should be more than sufficient." He couldn't help but wonder at the strange designs around the room, and the Asari, who seemed far to scantily clad for battle. (OoC: )

"fine its not like I had any stuff anyways" said Okarr. He then muttered to himself "because all my money goes to reversing the damage the Citadel did my people". He only had his guns, gernades "the krogan bible", and a book on genetics plus two of his two crates of rations and supplys and well Okarr sold pretty much all of the goods in the Warehouse he owned and transfered 75% to the krogan 5% to his boss 10% to his side project and kept the remaing 10% for himself seeing as he was no longer staying put in the Citadel for awhile and he needed money for future supplys. The krogan were not known for reading or being intelligent but Okarr was well read for a krogan at least due to him being inline to be Warlord of his clan and if he gave up his mercenary work he could be a diplomat for the krogan..at least one that did not deal with the Salarian or the Turian he could tolerate the other races.

Jordan said, "Yeah. Then again, I'm a Shock Trooper. Don't really own much to my name and I'm hustled around everywhere every month. I settle into places pretty quickly."

((OOC/ @tl: I'll upload a pic of her outift later. It sounds skimpy, but the armor covers almost all of the skin. Samara's outfit is skanky in comparison. )) Aisha glanced at the group before speaking. The female human- Asling, her name was?- was twirling a knife on her fingers. The young woman was a little bit too bizzare to fit in anywhere else- and not necessarily in a good way. The Quarian was strangely almost depressed, sighing and muttering... she'd try and find a way to deal with it later. The scarlet-marked asari noted that the krogan was babbling on and on about how everything he did was to help the Krogan... while glaring at Tedra. The Salarian didn't seem fazed. He knew that if he simply stayed out of the Krogan's way, he probably wouldn't provoke him. And if he did, he could just stick a trip mine in the Krogan's armor. Worked like a charm, from what Aisha had seen. The Shock Trooper, quite possibly the most adaptible crew member so far, seemed fine, though. Aisha strode over to the circular holotable, and spoke. "Okay. You all know some of what we're up against. So here's our first assignment. Call it a test run, to see how well you all function as a team. We're going to Saelon in the Perseus Veil, and eliminate the only known Geth "heretics" left- the bulk were rewritten by Commander Shepard on a Quarian space station. Any questions?"

Asling stopped twriling the knife. "Hai. What is the difference between the Geth "Heritics" and the Geth?" Asling tipped her head to the the side. "Sorry for my ignorence. I haven't been keeping up with those details." She narrowed her eyes a little. "Don't all Geth want to kill organics?" She slowly started twirling the knife again, expecting stares and muttering. As far as she knew all Geth were the same. She hadn't looked into it much. Too many Cerberus opperatives to hunt down, buildings to destroy, and experiments to locate.

Jordan turned. "The 'Heretics' worshipped the 'Old Gods', a.k.a. the Reapers. The actual Geth are quite peaceful: the Heretics attacked organic life. From what I've heard, regular Geth believe organic life should self-derterminate, which is to say building their own future. The reason the Geth heretics attacked organic life is because... it was because of Saren's leadership, and probably becuase of the fact the Reapers, who they worshipped, would be coming."
"I'm a Shock Trooper, and we aren't just brawn, we need to know these things. What's the point of destroying a mech, for example, if you don't know where to hit it at?"

"sounds fun" said the krogan. "we know the groups have different beliefs but besides one trying to kill us how do we tell who to shoot because I don't want anyone yelling at me if an innocent geth is accidently killed by me because its kill or be killed and well the geth are stupid they will probally see attacking us head on is suicide so they will try to blend in and try to take us out and as many normal geth as we try to figure this out..I am sorry if I don't want to wait for the enemey to shoot me while I just stand waiting to die" said Okarr. (OOC If there really is no difference feel free to give Okarr some kind of speech or just let him kill everything that looks or approaches him the wrong way )

"Oh, I see." Asling hadn't been around the citadel during the trouble with Saren. She'd been off causing trouble for Cerberus. "Thank you for explaining." Then she went back to twirling the knife and staring into space.

((OOC/ Okay Specs. I color-coded the bad guys. xD))
Aisha nodded. "Jordan explained that quite well. As for you, Okarr, here's a way to keep track of which are Heretics and which are mainline Geth: the one's who are fewer, more battered, and will likely be painted red. They're the last of their group- we don't know why they're all painted red in this group, but they are."
The battle-armored asari then continued, "As for the mainstream Geth, we believe that they are in the system en masse in an attempt to wipe out the Heretics. So if you see Geth not painted red, don't shoot. Any more questions?"

Asling shook her head. She knew her job. Get in destroy/terrify everything in sight. Go home. Simple.

"None from me," Noah answered, still wearing his breather helmet, "Permission to be excused? I wasn't done settling in."

Aisha nodded. "Of course. If there are no further questions, then everyone is free to leave. We set out once we're all sure of our places. Good?" The scarlet-marked asari turned to slowly walk over to the rear observation window that sat at the back of the briefing room. She stood and watched. Once the others left, she would contact the Trifecta, her employers. They were a pro-alien organization, practically Cerberus's polar opposite. It was headed by three beings, hence the name- an asari Matriarch, a former STG agent, and one of the current turian admirals. The Trifecta had an information network rivalling both Cerberus and the Shadow Broker- a trifecta in its own right. Aisha glared with cold jade eyes out the window, and Tedra turned and left the room, heading for the Tech Lab one floor down.

It looks like Okarr could not get away with accidentally killing anyone...not that he hated the geth it was just they were weird machines but they were alive it seemed to defy nature but this was a job. He walked back to his room and locked the door he would rather not be disturbed if anyone wanted to talk to him they would have to knock...and say what they wanted. He saw he had a message and he took a look to see who it was from...The Shadow Broker or rather one of his agents. Darn he would of rather took the brokers job them some random assignment he knew what to expect from the broker protect someone with information, kill a traitor or get information/data from someone by whatever means nessacary but he was stuck here going on some mission to help the Geth who if he was not mistaken attacked the Citadel X amount of years ago but he didn't care he got to kill things plus he named the price. If all of this worked out he was planning to move to Omega a place where he would truely fit it...what those humans refered to as heaven on earth it wasn't perfect but it was close enough for him he couldn't perform miracles.
