You enter the Kahje system and Sushoo monitors the action over Switch's shoulder as you approach the cockpit.

"This one had missed the great oceans..." Sushoo says as you begin your descent.

"We're being hailed." Switch replies putting through the signal.

A drell man comes over your view screen. "Purpose and destination?" he asks

"Family Visitation of Port New Rakhana" Sushoo replies. The Drell nods and a nav point appears on the view screen.

"Looks like we're cleared." Switch reports

The L4 implant throbs slightly as you dip into the mass effect field of the dock.
Still recovering.

You upgraded from the L3 to the L4, even now you can feel like it's been streamlined but also somehow, slower, like you can dish out a ton of energy at once but recovery may be slowed. This is a prototype though

>>20634740

You head out into the port and end up in a residential area. There are small drell children playing out in a main plaza area. It's involving a ball and slightly resembles soccer but the rules are not the same that much is clear to you.
You get several strange looks, you doubt the drell often see many humans on world.

"Excuse me." a drell man walks over to you.
"If I might ask, are you from Earth?"

"Nope. Colony kid.

"Oh, I see, I was just wondering as I had wanted to visit your homeworld. I am majoring in Xeno-Cultural studies at university and thought maybe you could be a possible interviewee." he looks disappointed.

Mission accomplished. Lets go explore a little more. Sample the local cuisine.

>>20636064

You do so, fish and crustacean dishes as far as the eye can see. Strangely nothing quite of Sushoo's caliber even among the Hanar chefs you see. Most are willing to give free samples to off worlders so you come out with a full stomach and no credits down.
>>
>>20636092
Okay, now lets go see Sel Sola. We'll mention to Sushoo that his cooking was better than any of the chefs in that town.

A drell female in a long dress approaches you.

She turns back to you.

"You're being serious?" she asks

"Well yeah, I was kind of hoping I wouldn't have to get into the details but yeah thats about it..." you mutter

She walks back over, "10,000 up front, equal cuts are fine so long as everyone is doing work, you especially. Do not threaten the security of either the Drell or the Hanar or I will end you, clear?"

We still got tons of dosh, and we won't hurt shushoo so deal.

"Deal. Although, would you clarify what you mean by the Drell and Hanar? Do you mean the races and governments thereof, or do you mean any Drell or any Hanar we might happen to come across? If it's the latter, we may need to come to some sort of compromise."
>>
>>20636753
>>20636727

"The people as a whole, specifically any innocent parties. I don't feel I should have to outline the details if your morality is that conflicted this will be a short alliance." she says staring you down.
>>
>>20636771
"I merely want to be sure, should my enemies employ a Drell assassin or should I face any member of either race in battle, you will not get your metaphorical panties in a bunch if I kill them. I don't intend on killing any innocent member of any race."
>>
>>20636796

She nods and extends a hand, you shake and she says "I'll see you on-board. I'm eager to get underway." and she takes off towards the docks.
>>
>>20636815
Yes! Managed to snag a Drell assassin. I suppose return to the ship as well? Maybe go for a swim or something?

>>20636855
Nah lets go pick up some Asari Hanar porn games.

>>20636896

You head to the markets and look for the most back hallway stores you can find. Eventually pay dirt.
You walk into a store that has a few familiar items and several very confusing contraptions. The Fornax near the counter betrays it though, this is definitely a store that caters to certain interests.

Straps, things that make you think of med-evil torture devices you saw in a history file once, a Loki Mech that has some additional...attachments.

The counter is manned by a young drell who welcomes you. Apparently this store is called Sihaya. You have no idea what it means and are almost afraid to ask. He tells you they do care a large catalog of those games. Over 20 Zettabytes.

Oolot rolls up an Orc Barbarian
Switch is a Half-Elf Alchemist, he insists it was for the bonuses
Sushoo rolls up a Human Paladin, interesting...
Luke is going with Human Bard and has started drinking and apparently has a harmonica. You didn't know he could play but he does quite well.
Janios finds it funny you play games on your journey but elects to join in and goes Elven Wizard, classic.
Sel rolls an Elven Ranger with levels in Rogue.

Our BBEG is the man who rules the universe. A mildly insane man in his early forties who lives in seclusion in the woods with his cat. The rulers of the major kingdoms come to him to make decisions. He doesn't believe the rest of the world exist.

It's the start of a campaign.

You have a pretty good first session, they manage to get a boat and the fights are very successful with everyone managing to get in a few solid licks. They'll be following up some leads next session. You really feel like everyone is bonding well. There was a minor dispute between Sushoo and Luke in-character but they seem to be in good spirits now that the liquor is flowing around the table.

Thessia really is a cultural icon there is almost no crime on this entire planet, the only stuff that comes up is mostly white collar with a few obvious crimes of passion. Stupefying honestly...

uuuhhh. hmmm Lets grab a bite to ate then lets go to the gallery
>>
>>20638601

You grab a peculiar but tasty dish the Asari waitress assures you is very popular with humans.

You then head to the gallery. It's breathtaking, Asari art takes many forms from performance, to visual, to even rooms of sonic manipulations that invoke feeling based on resonance as art passes in front of the viewer from a holo-projector. It tells the story of an ancient Asari tradition. Demon of the Night Winds is the name of the exhibit. The overall tone seems to be one of pity. You suspect it would make more sense to someone more familiar with the subject.

"It's quite a moving exhibit, no?" An Asari asks you from over your shoulder.

Damn she's sneaky, you didn't even notice there was someone else here.
