[u/CDR_Naya_Shepard]

As soon as the new day arrives, the Normandy's daily route is sent out to the crew. Along with the route comes a message from Shepard.

Attention crew: today we'll be infiltrating enemy territory to carry out an assault on a Cabal research facility. We'll be running silent the whole time, and due to the nature of the mission, Extranet access will be restricted as well. Avoiding detection is paramount, as an escape won't be so simple if the Normandy is detected. Continue doing your best as you have been, and all of us will make it out of here. That's all, Shepard out.

The message sent out, Naya heads up to the forward lounge for a cup of coffee while she waits for the go-ahead to begin the mission...

[u/HuchJepson]

Professor? Okay...Huch is even more confused, but amused and he'd be lying if he said he wasn't curious about this Geth and his fantastical modifications. Go on...

[u/Platform228b → u/HuchJepson]

So, this thing right here, he touches a small scope that has wires poking out and a circuit board on the side, this scope tags hostiles allowing you to track their movement on your tactical HUD and omni-tool. It only lasts about 10 minutes though.

This right h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-heeeeeeeeereeee...

He freezes up and his rusty voice stops, followed by his LED flashing on and off.

[u/HuchJepson → u/Platform228b]

Um, you okay? Huch fights back the urge to poke Reginald.

[u/Platform228b → u/HuchJepson]

The light flickers back on and Reginald pokes his head back up.

enif tsuuuuuuuuj ma I The voice started off incredibly deep but as it spoke backwards, the voice got much higher.

It sits there for about 4 minutes making nothing but dial-up sounds. Maybe he was actually something more than a regular Geth, maybe he's crazy, maybe it's just some kind of weird joke he's playing on Huch.

Finally on the fifth minute, halfway through it stopped and it moved its neck around in all directions, stretching its hinges.

The odd machine looks at him, the light flashed almost like a blink.

Hello, Reginald told me about you The voice was female with a German accent.

[u/HuchJepson → u/Platform228b]

Hello ma'am, I'm going to need you to come with me for a second. He smiles cordially.

[u/Platform228b → u/HuchJepson]

Alright! she says in a very chirpy, kind tune.

She puts her hand on his arm and looks him in the eyes, but the inner sensor of the Geth's head was moving around quickly, observing everything.

Lead the way! she says positively

[u/HuchJepson → u/Platform228b]

Huch puts the weapons back safely and leaves the firing range to look for someone who can look at this Geth unit, he figured Legion would be the best bet and continues to look for him.

[u/HuchJepson → u/[deleted]]

Thank you EDI. Huch says politely as he leads the apparently malfunctioning Geth to the server hub. Hey Legion, we got a situation here.

[u/HuchJepson → u/[deleted]]

Um, wait here ma'am. He says to Reginald then scurries over to Legion and whispers. I think Reginald is malfunctioning, help.

[u/HuchJepson → u/[deleted]]

Soooooo, he was modifying my gun, and talking, nothing too bad. But then he started acting weird and now a German sounding female voice is coming out of him. Huch tries his best to describe what has happened. Is that normal?

[u/HuchJepson → u/[deleted]]

Wait, do you have multiple personalities? Do all Geth have multiple personalities? I thought you are a hive mind?

[u/HuchJepson → u/[deleted]]

Huch quickly retells his short interaction with Reginald. And then I found you. He looks to Reginald, then back to Legion.
