Video. Whether you want it to be or not. PSA.

[Mordin is sitting at his desk, with a variety of objects including slender fruit. For anyone familiar with reading salarian faces, he looks quite serious.]

Need for contraceptive review has become apparent. Several local options currently available. Significant improvement over previous situation.

[He holds up a packet]

Hormonal regulation now viable. Highly effective but not suited to short term encounters.

[And thus the condom and the fruit come out]

Barrier methods superior for casual contact. Prevent disease in addition to pregnancy. Can review proper application as needed.

Expect all to take reasonable precautions. Also have pamphlets available. Do not wish to hear of rhythm or withdrawal.

On the plus side, we're pretty sure it's safe to ingest.

[ Nothing cheers up her morning like Mordin making the masses squirm. ]

[Mordin is of course untroubled by this information]

Also beneficial information.

[Video]

[erranthero]

Seriously? You thought telling us to wear condoms and take pills was worth a broadcast.

[Mordin you are seriously weird.]

Re: [Video]

[theverymodel]

Simpler than delivering information individually.

[Video]

[erranthero]

...why does it matter at all? Not saying I want kids or anything...but why?

[Video]

[universalhope]

Say...what's a contraceptive, and why does it need reviewing?

[Goku...you are a twit.]

Re: [Video]

[theverymodel]

Items used for prevention of unintended pregnancy. Appears to be some uncertainty.

[Video]

[universalhope]

Uncertain about what? And...hormones? Eh-eheheheh...I'm sorry, I don't really understand how hormones can stop that.

I'm almost afraid to ask but what prompted this... [he scrunches his nose, trying to think of a proper word] tutorial?

Re: Video

[theverymodel]

Talk that information could have been useful several weeks ago.

[last_ofthe_jedi]

[Uh oh. This is starting to sound like gossip territory but the curiosity is difficult to stifle.]

Talk? What talk? I haven't heard anything. Is somebody in trouble?

[If Luke had a "jedi signal" it would be lighting up the sky right now.]

[It takes more than that to embarrass the Scarlet Witch!]

[...Actually, no, it doesn't. She just has an intense poker face. And the ability to distance herself from awkward subjects by over-intellectualizing.] I'm curious to know if my control over my powers extends far enough to know if they could have a contraceptive effect of their own. Could we do an experiment?

...

In a laboratory setting, of course. Should I or anyone I know need contraceptives we'll be sticking with the proven methods.

Re: [Video]

[theverymodel]

Laboratory testing must predate field trials considerably. WOuld be interesting field to explore.

[Video]

[genoshas_general]

Interesting, yes. I'm not sure how valuable, but I need something to focus on. [Besides overthrowing the government because at this point that seems like way more trouble than it's worth.]

[threesovereigns]

I have made some use of these 'barrier methods', as you name them, since my arrival here. Wonderful! A distinct lack of worrying sores among the waterfront taverns is yet another sign of the beauty of Verdana.

Although, my friend...

[And beware the tone of voice of a Zevran growing conspiratorially friendly.]

I wonder if perhaps you are lacking in your delivery of this pitch somewhat. You have to let the people know that including such things can still make for a pleasurable experience, no?

[theverymodel]

Barriers highly beneficial.

Thought continued neural stimulation readily apparent. Friction remains sufficient.

[threesovereigns]

Ah, but there is so much more than mere friction, as glorious a sensation as it is! And... neural stimulation? I am afraid I am unclear on this term, but it sounds sadly lacking in passion.

Making love without passion and joy in the act... well, it is rather like eating trail bread, no? All the basic mechanics, but... little pleasure. You should encourage them to find ways to make applying these methods fun. Why, this one gentleman of my acquaintance, using only his--

[Zevran's smile carries the rest of the tail as he fakes having a sense of restraint and tips a small bow to the camera.]

Well, that is perhaps a tale for another time.

[power_of_touch]

....

[Why is there an alien or something recreating every awkward sex ed scene in any comedy ever on her screen? Weirdest experience yet.]

If this is at all normal for sex ed, I am so glad I dropped out of school before they ever taught it.

[theverymodel]

Not familiar with human instruction methods. Merely conveying important information.

[power_of_touch]

Is there...any reason for conveying this information? Big outbreak of alien STDs or something?

[And suddenly it occurs that space STDs could very well be a thing. What does she know?]

...please don't answer that with a 'yes', I was only joking.

[galacticheroine]

Was it really necessary to publicly broadcast this, Mordin?

Re: [video]

[theverymodel]

Apparently.

[video]

[galacticheroine]

Yeah, somehow I'm not convinced. Everyone seems to be kinda freaked out by the subject.

[panicandfreeze]

Has everyone here lost their mind? I know how to use protection! Is it my fault that apparently dead men can knock people up?

[theverymodel]

[Well, that actually managed to surprise Mordin]

Necrophilia brings many risks. Pregnancy not usually included.
