You can fight like a krogan, run like a leopard...

You would be the second person to come from a space-faring civilization that I've met here. You didn't seem phased by Artoo here, and you didn't question the equipment I'm carrying, or talking about. That's rare here.

[He indicates his lightsabers]

What does the Normandy do? Is it a military ship? A freighter?

From:

If it's any help, I know about technology that's similar...though the principles behind them might be different from what you're familiar with. [She eyes them for a moment.] Think that's about the only thing I'm not used to.

As for the Normandy, it's a military ship. It used to be for stealth, but after the upgrades I had it outfitted with? Not so much.

From:

[One of the weapons flies into his hand, through the Force] This? Feel free to look it over if you like, just don't point the end at yourself and press the button.

And your mission?

From:

Huh. You're a biotic, too? [No, that's not biotic power, Shepard. :| She presses it just as he dictated, and...stares at the controlled beam that forms right then and there, brow raised.] A laser blade, too? Color me even more curious.

My mission...before I get onto that, here's something you should know first: people back home tend to look to me if they need a normally unfixable situation resolved. My most recent assignment? Beating the hell out of the Collectors. It's not easy. [The last one has that deadpan note she's been using for quite some time now. Clearly, she was understating how bad it was.]

From:

A...biotic?

[Luke pauses for a moment and stops]

You mean the Force?

From:

[...Oh, right. Completely different world...]

...Something like that? Not sure what this 'Force' is, but it sure looks similar to biotics.

[If she had her pistol, she'd demo the ability she's proficient in at the moment. But alas. :|] Think 'telekinesis' and you'd get the gist of what they could do.

From:

Oh, another form of power. Yes, that sounds similar to the Force, but the Force is a lot more varied than Telekinesis. I am a Jedi, and as such have trained to use the Force to do quite a number of things

[And now back to her other comments]

That's my lightsaber, the weapon of a Jedi. Be careful, it can cut through anything short of special minerals. And, who are the Collectors?

From:

Huh. Mind listing them off so I have a good idea of what I'm working with? [This sounds interesting enough. She'll nod and keep what she's learned about this laser blade in mind.]

They're a threat back home. Few ever see them, but I've already skirmished against them twice. [Her expression turns bitter. If that isn't enough, Luke's senses may pick up on some lingering contempt towards those freaks.] They've already abducted entire colonies of humans, and I wasn't able to put a dent in them until recently. I don't know what they're gathering them for, but they messed with the wrong people.

From:

That...could take a while, but a general idea? Telekinesis, precognition, body augmentation, healing, energy manipulation, and telepathy. There's a lot of variety within it, and I don't have total access to every aspect, but I'm proficient with each umbrella of abilities.

From:

[...Wow, that's flexible. 0_o]

So it does a lot more than tossing people around. I'm a little envious. [Only not really--she's just being a silly goose, now. XD]

From:

Well, its something one is born with, Force Sensitivity.

[He's quiet for a moment]

And are there non-human sentients in your galaxy?

From:

[They're still walking, right? XD They should be, otherwise they'll slow down on their way there, pff.]

Quite a few. Mandibled oddballs, four-eyed slave drivers I want to shoot between the eyes, humanoids that can't step out into the open without wearing enviroment-proof suits, bug-eyed scientists...not sure how blue-skinned monogendered humanoids count on the scale though.

From:

[Of course...]

Thats good. I've only met one other person here who's encountered non-human sentients. Do the names Covenant, Flood, or Earth mean anything to you?

From:

Hmm. First two don't sound familiar, but Earth definitely rings a bell.

From:

Is it where humans in your reality come from?

[Well Daisy will be happy. No Covenant]

From:

Yeah. We wound up finding ancient tech on Mars that propelled us right into the space age, crazy as it sounds. [Not that she was there to witness it; it's what she knows from that vast extanetwork deposit known as the codex.]

From:

Its hardly crazy. Faster than Light travel was discovered in the Galaxy nearly 9,000 years ago.

From:

Huh. You must be further along than I am, in that case.

[Now this is making her curious. Where does that leave him? AD 11,187?] Wait, how does it work in your world, anyway? [An equally perturbed tone. Nice one, Luke, you've got her thinking. :|b]

From:

Well, I'm not from the same galaxy for starters. But how does hyperspace work? The ship accelerates to a faster than light speed and travels through a warp corridor known as Hyperspace. Hyperspace itself is a layer of reality just slightly underneath our own.

From:

Huh. That kind of travel needs two Mass Relays where I'm from.

[If he needs an example, she's willing to give it out. Right now, she's just watching his reaction.]

From:

Ahh. That used to be the case in my galaxy, though hyperspace gates are no longer necessary. Our hyperdrives are only about a meter wide and half meter thick.

[Nope. Nothing special]

From:

[Well, that's got her raising a brow.] Now I'm really envious.

[Not that she really means it... again. XD She actually wants to see what makes it tick, but. Luceti. :|]

From:

[Oh, I bet you say that to everyone with all the fun toys, Shep]

Well, sadly I don't have one here, or we'd be long gone.
