"Was there anything else you required?"Harbinger asked. "No there's not."Garrus said. "Understood."Harbinger replied before cutting off communications. "So you gonna do what that thing said?"Palpus asked. "No. I'm sure its under estimating the reapers. It's got a sort of "I'm the ultimate life form" air to it. Guys like that always underestimate anyone that's not them self."Garrus said.

On the ship an engineer in the lower bays a Turian was doing maintenance. Cleaning out the air vents a faintly green mist sprayed his face. Coughing slightly another Turian spoke. "Malow you ok?" He asked. "Yea I am fine. Just some dust or something." He said laughing with a slight cough. "I should probably go and wash my mouth out be back shortly." He said walking off. "Be quick." In the a near by bathroom the Turian began gasping a bit. Going to the tap he got himself a few hand fulls of water as he panted. He wiped the drops from his mouth and got up to leave. "The reapers and your leaders betray you." A voice appeared in his head. "Wha. What?" He says looking around unable to see the source of it. He then stands and walks out looking around nervously before coughing again.

Once Malow had exited, he bumped into another Turian. "Oh! Sorry baout that!"The other turian, a woman named Rusolea, said. She inhaled some of the spores that Malow had unknowingly inhaled after he coughed. "Uh, are you okay?"She asked.

He holds his mouth and wipes it. "Oh nothing just a bit of a cough." He said walking back to the engineering bay.

"You sure?"The woman asked following Malow. Unlike most turians on the ship, she was a huge germaphobe.

"Yea." He said walking back shaking his head. The voice so far not coming back.

"Uh... well my name's Leretia. It's nice to meet you."The woman said introducing herself.

"I am Malow. Are you new to the crew?" He asks keeping his balance.

"Uh, no I'm normally up in the med bay. I'm a doctor on the ship."Leretia said.

"Oh well why are you down here? I thought there was another set of bathrooms up that end of the ship?"

"I got word that someone got hurt down here. I was actually about to go back up before I bumped into you."She explained.

"Well no one is hurt here. It may have been a false alarm or they went up to another area of the ship?"

"Oh, no I already tended to their injuries."Leretia said.

"Oh. So why did you come down here?" He asks genuinely

"Like I said, I came down here to help that guy. I was heading back up and was told to go down this way."Leretia explained.

"Oh ok. Well I should probably get back to work and so should you."

Leretia nodded. "Well it was nice meeting you."She said.

"Yea you too." He says walking off back to the engineering bay.

Leretia waved to Malow as she left.

Malow headed back into the depths of the ship. As he walked he heard the voice again. "You all will burn if it happens." It said before fading. "What the hell is that?" The Turian asks.
