That’s not to say I don’t believe there are friendlier individuals and hives out there…….Is that what you’re getting at? Is the person you know who might be able to help a Rachni?” There was an almost dangerous excitement in her voice.

“On the rare occasion my work takes me to some of the more remote planets in distant systems I’ve come across the odd Rachni here or there. They’ve never been particularly welcoming so I tend to give them a wide berth. --->

She was hardly surprised to hear that Shepard knew someone who might be able to help with that. What had surprised her though was the sudden question. She had expected someone like Liara or some other pompous Prothean scholar, what she had not expected was the mention of the Rachni. --->

“Do Prothean artifacts emit any kind of energy signatures that can be potentially tracked? I know it’s probably already been thought of before but you have a genuine artifact here that seems to emit energy that I can feel through my suit, unless I’m just imagining it.” --->

I don't know if mapping their empire would actually narrow anything down or just make things more complicated by creating a search area that may yield nothing. Those fuckers were spread out everywhere.”
She watched as the relic continued to wobble, her hands visibly flexing as she resisted. --->

She had to resist the urge to reach out and touch it herself. Knowing her luck it would implode or something equally unpleasant.
“Prothean structures are notorious for being in weird and unexpected places. --->

“I’m certain those two were able to extract everything from this sphere that they possibly could, pairing that with your visions, they could arrive at some fascinating data. Now you just need to find some more artifacts to keep the data flow going.”

Also, I wouldn’t worry about a ‘lack’ of artifacts. Those guys loved to show off and leave their junk lying all around in the process, fucking with our minds just for fun, compelling us to steal someone else’s orange…”
She shook her head as she pushed the unpleasant images in her mind aside.
--->

Cy smirked with her. Mischievous Shepard was an entire mood and she was here for it. “Ahh, I see. Using your power self gain, a noble cause. I can respect it. After all, who doesn’t need more anomalous Prothean artifacts in their private collection? I know I certainly do. --->

She shrugged casually before she lost her composure at the mention of the 'ham-incident'.
"You read about that? Holy shit that's amazing. I'm still recovering from that one but it was so worth it. Gerrel was furious. Arrogant bosh'tet. I'd do it again. But enough about me. Why are you awake?"

"It's more a paranoia type if thing. Staying in one place makes me feel itchy, even if that place is a ship literally moving through space at FTL speeds. If there's other people around my mind can't shut down. The price I pay for the life I lead I guess." --->

// i love this idea. The mystery of it a the crew trying to figure out how she manages it!

// oh wow! I love the assortment of colour and the variety of shots here! Sentinel drones are so cute as well. You are right, exploring new and unusual places is good for the soul.
