Calibration 41 [video/action]

[officer_garrus]

[As Garrus goes about his day, people he passes find themselves pushed aside by an invisible force surrounding the turian. A rather large invisible force.

He sits down on a nearby bench.]

I just want to say that this is annoying. It reminds me of several encounters with biotics and their force fields.

[ironmanic]

That another alien thing of yours?

[officer_garrus]

Yeah, about that... I don't have superpowers, I was just cursed.

And humans can be biotics too.

[ironmanic]

I figured the speech was a little over-the-top, and that's coming from me.

Why, because we're organic?

[officer_garrus]

Well, yes. I've never seen a geth biotic after all.

If someone's exposed to Element Zero in utero, then they can develop biotic abilities. Unless you're an asari, then you can do it naturally.

[ironmanic]

That is way too much jargon for me, pal. But I'm interested. You an expert in any of this stuff?

[officer_garrus]

Well, not really. That's just basic knowledge on the subject.

Element zero is a rare element that's used for mass effect energy. Asari are a blue, one-gender race, and are natural biotics, as I said.

[ironmanic]

Guess they shouldn't take any antibiotics.

[SNICKERS TO HIMSELF. Oh he's so clever.]

[officer_garrus]

Very funny.

[ironmanic]

Oh, I definitely thought so.

[the_dawnster]

What's a biotic? Cause all I can think of is antibiotic which is probably not what you're talking about unless you have a cold. Do you have a cold? I make the best chicken and stars. I learned the recipe from my mom. Really it's just canned soup with some extra spicey goodness thrown in.

[officer_garrus]

Biotics are those who can manipulate mass effect energy. They can move objects around telepathically, create force fields, and the powerful ones can make energy vortexes. Asari are natural biotics, and every other species has to be exposed to Element Zero in the womb to potentially develop biotic powers.

Also, no offense, but chicken soup wouldn't agree with me.

[the_dawnster]

Well that's super cool. Sometimes I think it would be fun to be all telekinetic cause then I could get the remote from that table over there without having to get up. But then I realize how lazy that would make me so it's probably better that I'm not.

No offense. Chicken soup isn't for everyone. You say tomato, I say tom-ah-to.

[officer_garrus]

I suppose. It seems to work for anyone that has them, though. Then again, some of the older implants for humans have been known to cause problems.

[the_dawnster]

Knowing my luck, I'd probably get stuck with a problematic one. It's been said that I'm a problem or trouble magnet. And since it's been said multiple times, it's probably true. Are you all special with the telekinetics?

[officer_garrus]

Actually, anything above L2 is safe, and they stopped making L2s years ago.

No, I'm not a biotic, but I know several people who are.

[the_dawnster]

This is all confused-making. Technology probably way beyond what we have where I'm from. Would it be all rude of me to ask you what you are?

[officer_garrus]

Er, sorry. It's too easy to use jargon from my time that hasn't been invented yet in most other times.

I'm a turian.

[the_dawnster]

That's okay! I get all rambley about things that no one else gets sometimes too. Turian. Does that mean you're from a place called Turi?

[officer_garrus]

Actually, my home planet is Palaven.
