outer_divide | [VIDEO | 002: Salvage and Styracosaurs]

[The video opens with the sort of grainy footage that happens when you're training a camera on a holographic image recording. Kaidan's omni-tool, and therefore Kaidan's arm, is in the frame and is showing a high-angled shot of what happens when two styracosaurs, survivors of a panicked herd aimed at the barrier, get past the Outer Authorities and collide with the dome:

They actually get halfway through it, before it stops them. Messily.]

So, there's that piece of news for you folks -- I'd say hold off on any personal experimentation, because failure looks damn' unpleasant, but it looks like the dome isn't as impenetrable as all that. I'm not speculating which variable in F = ma is the critical one, but it's something to look into.

I know we lost people to this, and nothing makes up for that, never does, but at least we've gotten something out of it in turn.

I've been doing some scouting, and with all the losses and changes, I was hoping I could get a specific sort of head count. If you've got any experience with electronics, specifically the 20th century tech level we're working with here, although earlier'd be fine too, ping me or come find me -- Shepard will know where I'm at if you can't.

[His brow is furrows as he watches, and he can't help but wince slightly at the ultimate conclusion.]

Fascinating. [It's a low, grim sort of murmur; it wasn't a pleasant sight, but he'll take what he can from it.]

[He shakes his head, raises his voice.] I've experience with most electronics, myself. ...Well. Most electronics in my universe, at any rate.

...well, that sure is a thing.

We already spoke—er, I guess wrote back and forth? I'm Judy, I'm not sure if you remember, but 20th century tech is my bag, and I'd be happy to help.

It's good you aren't speculating. I do not think we could achieve that sort of charge unless one of those pods is hiding a krogan.

[Joking? Maybe. She sounds weary enough that it's hard to tell.]

I do not know much about your species' technology during that era, but if you need any assistance in scouting, I am at your disposal.

I have literally no idea what's going on, but I do have a little experience with electronics.

So. Consider yourself pinged.
