[ Reapers... right, Garrus had talked about those once. Space Titans, basically. The envirosuit concept is less familiar, but it's probably safe to assume it's another weird alien thing. Always safe to assume it's a weird alien thing. ]
FROM: kirstein.jean@cdc.org I think bugs are eating people no matter what kind of clothes they're wearing, don't worry. We can still commiserate
FROM: kirstein.jean@cdc.org Anyway I agree but you sound like you need to go outside more

And excuse you, jean, she's not a weirdo, she's just sterile D:<]

I'm glad I was out of the way for that fight, to be honest. I'm better at fighting things my own size on my level.

No, I think I can blame you. Or at least, every time you say anything now, I'm going to take it deathly seriously.

That'd be too easy. Apparently everything has to be a giant and also want to kill you.

Fine, my next guess is cats.

I'll just have to get a rocket launcher from somewhere. or some new job skills.
FROM: vasneema.talizorah@cdc.org
there are cats all over camp, that doesn't count.
[They're called bahari, Tali, you philistine.]

Maybe you'll have time for both, apparently we're going to be here forever anyway.

You can't just say it doesn't count, you're supposed to take me seriously??

if I were a really bad person, I'd ask if you're not used to people taking you seriously. lucky for you I'm not.
FROM: vasneema.talizorah@cdc.org
ok fine, you win. cats. and we're going to be here forever.

See was that so hard

I kind of hope I'm wrong though

I definitely hope you're wrong.

Maybe this is how the CDC works. We stay on these planets and eventually we hate them so much we want to destroy them.

To be honest though, I don't really hate this place yet
FROM: kirstein.jean@cdc.org
If not for the natives trying to kill us, it'd be pretty nice
FROM: kirstein.jean@cdc.org
And that's kind of our own fault

yet.
anyway, I don't blame the natives.
FROM: vasneema.talizorah@cdc.org
but the 72 hour days, the mud, the floords, giant water Reapers, jungles, huge animals kicking your rover, bugs eating your envirosuit...
FROM: vasneema.talizorah@cdc.org
well, my suit. not... yours. that's probably a unique problem.
I just don't think me and nature like each other much.

you think I'll appreciate nature more if I just go out and deal with it?
no subject
Sure. Go commune with it, what could go wrong?

Those are famous last words.

I left it in space.
I'm not sure where - it's a pretty big place.
