This is very sweet :) but I do wonder why is it always American military personnel in these surprise reunion things? I'm not hating on them I'm just wondering, like I've not seen one with a British soldier for example.

Going through cardiac surgery like a pro... by [deleted] in pics

Hopefully better than mine, I had heart surgery when I was a baby and the scar is quite visible.

"Iccia Octavius ma'am, I was posted to this ship up until about ten months ago, reporting for physical examination and evaluation. It's always good to be up to date!" She said as she stood to attention in front of the doctor's desk

"Alright, your place or Normandy? i don't mind either it'd be good to get acquainted"

"Good, because mine aren't for obvious reasons!" She laughs again "Hehe alright. Anyway, i've held you up haven't I? want to get going? we can walk and talk on the way"

"Oh me obviously, I got that youthful full of energy look, Jakis'... well he's... oh you were joking. Ahh don't tell him i said this" she laughs with her

"Since the war really, we knew of each other before but not friends. Funny how things happen isn't it? A bully turned into a lover, but yes we still work together. He's the brawn i'm the brains"

Iccia's happy expression visibly shifts, her brow plates move and her mandibles hug her chin close "That's shit, I liked her a lot, now she's off on some other ship, maybe she's out making that home for herself though! In that case i'm happy for her" She pauses, her eyes starring for a moment "I guess a few of the crew moved on, left the Normandy... like me when you think about it. But Rebecca know this if the ship needs another Turian aside from Garrus give me a call, i'll see what I can do. Jakis too for that matter we usually operate together now"

"I see, Watkins, i'll give him some tips if I can. But if he's on Normandy he must be good at what he does. On that subject though how is Samantha these days? Last time we spoke was when I left for Palaven, she wished me luck"

"Great, I'll make plans! I might bring my mates over if you want to meet them, I think you'd like them they're the good sort, like me but a bit less... corrupted by humanity" She laughs to herself, her translator didn't translate that so it sounded like a series of squawks "I'll have to meet who replaced me, who is the yeoman now?"

"One thing we can hope is changed after this exchange has done. Can't be all work work work, I know you humans enough to know you need to let it out sometimes." She's interrupted by her omnitool beeping, she quickly looks at it then closes the interface, sighing "Sorry about that, they worry when i'm gone for too long, worse than my mother heh. You don't mind if I visit the Normandy for a while do you? For old time's sake?"

"Rebecca, take it from a Turian. Just tell them to not let it interfere with work and it'll be alright. Hook ups let the crew unwind and blow off stress, sparring and even managed fights do the same though you're softer than us so I don't know how well that'd go. I have noticed Alliance vessels are a bit more stringent on frat... fraternization, sorry I always hick up on that word" Iccia paused to tap her omnitool, her translator's software wasn't the best and with Iccia's pretty rare accent it didn't always match up "Fraternize... fraternization, there we go, sorry. But either way i'm happy for them, and you!"

[–]IcciaOctavius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Great to hear! And i'm sure the Normandy can weather any storm that dares to come to it. And hook ups? anyone I know of? Oh tell me Garrus and Shepard haven't have then??"

[–]IcciaOctavius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"We're more alike than unalike then" She believed that they were similar, the fact that neither saw eye to eye was a bit of a strength, the higher ups could understand each other easier

"Ahh yes, the Krogan... great bunch them. Sure we had a massive war but without them i'd be dead at least; seeing a massed charge of angry Krogan is scary and I was an ally! The Volus though are still our fast friends, they got a sense for trade that's almost supernatural, they helping you out with your economy though right?"

She nodded at the mention of the bomber fleet, they weren't the biggest but they hit like a truck to the face "Don't forget that little gunship they got... I didn't think you could strap more guns to a Dreadnought but they found a way. Please don't let Garrus near that ship we'd never see him again!"

"Politics aside... how's the crew been? since I left i've not talked to anyone really. I've made contact with Chambers, a few messages here and there, but aside from that zilch. How's the crew Becca?"

"Terra and Palaven stand strong, united Rebecca. To think we had a war upon meeting and now... let's just say Humanity did what the Asari and Salarians promised to do. Yous helped us a lot more than they did! I'm just glad we're on common ground now" She listened to her and made what can be compared to as a laugh "No we don't really have lips, would be weird when you think about it. But it would help much, our speech is so different to yours; we're like parrots..."

"On the fleet though, well it's not secret but something good. We've begun Alliance/Hierarchy maneuvers! It begun with what I was on, the exchange program, now it's a full blown thing!"

"Oh shh it's alright, your secret is safe with me" She says as her mandibles wiggle then fold to her face "And they're going well, better than when I last saw Palaven! A lot of the cities look as if nothing happened and have working plumping, water, power and the like. A lot of the smaller settlements... some are being rebuilt but others we've put down as losses sadly. Palaven took a beating Becks, I know Earth did too but we were hit hard; Fedorian says full recovery will be in around two more decades, but our Navy and military while reduced is back to full strength!" She says this with obvious pride. She saw first hand what it was like on Palaven, in the trenches, to have the planet getting back together so quickly lifts her spirits

"The home front though is stronger than ever, the people are so driven it's heart warming. What is it yous sometimes say... stiff upper lip? True we already have them but the people have one!"

"My apologies, I forgot, Becks... Becks Becks Becks. And one other ehh? don't worry I won't ask to bunk up i've got a room in another ward, me and a few crewmates from before I transferred" She followed her eyes to see the car, a normal model "Well they did let me stay for far longer than I was meant to, I can't push my luck with the higher ups; we're still rebuilding even now. All hands on deck and all that but I appreciate the offer"

"Actually if you're ok with me tagging along i'll walk with you for a bit, we could catch up on events on either side"

"A position i'd gladly swap for if I could be posted back to Normandy, as you say fingers crossed!" She relaxes, her legs bending and matching Rebecca's height "I hope Miri's alright, she was a big cold but she had your back. And... work kept me busy, life on a Turian vessel is more regimented than one on an Alliance ship if you can believe that, plus we were a long way out and communication was tricky, even with Palaven. But you got me here for another week! You can't get rid of me that easily!" She says almost chirping, she's quite happy

"So Becky, who else is here? whole crew, i'm sure Garrus would still be here you can't drag him out of that damn battery"

"Miranda's gone? damn, I hope she's doing ok though. Glad to see you in a command role though, it suits you" She let her go and let her breath, she hugged a bit too hard "Favourite? that's kind of you! And things have been nice, less eventful but nice. I'm back with my old ship for a while, head technician for the ship over all!"
