[Video] | Tuesday night

Good evening, everyone.

[Here's Lyall, dressed in jacket, hat, waistcoat, and cravat, back to slightly more traditional Victorian dress. Why? Because he has to be at his new place of employment in an hour, and he is going to dress nicely for his first day (or month) as a librarian. It seems fitting, after all.]

I have been thinking. I do know where I found those monster constructs, before... and from what I gather, the ones battled and damaged here were not those same constructs as the ones I fought. And there was a fellow last week who caught sight of another one on his surveillance which was perhaps one of the remaining two, or perhaps a third. There is still a threat from them, should they come back this direction.

They are too much for me to handle alone-- I am well aware of this, even were I not taken by surprise, as I regret to say I was. If I were not alone, however, it is possible I and anyone with me could do some damage. If anyone else is interested in coming with me, perhaps we might be lucky and corner one or two in their lair, and remove more of this threat.

I will have my communicator with me all evening, but if anyone wishes to speak in person about this, I would be happy to discuss things at the library in Poseidon, in a few hours.

You're not even alone in the galaxy.

[There's a hint of dry amusement there. Garrus isn't entirely conversant with which Earth era is which, but serving on the Normandy means he knows enough of their history to make a guess at just how far back Lyall's claiming to be from.

Long before the Earth's first contact, that's to be sure.]


Garrus Vakarian, of Palaven. We don't use your calendar, but I have it on good authority that it was 2187 in Earth years, the last time we had a chance to check.

I'm used to dealing with spacefaring species.

[It has the sound of an admission, if not - quite - an apology.]

Humanity's the youngest, in my time, at a little under forty of your years.
