Astro Sciences, Friday

"Some of you I've seen last weekend, and some of you didn't come along," Kaidan said, sitting down behind the desk. He looked a little distracted. "Either way, I'm sure all of you have some opinion on species different from yourselves - whether it's about how you expect them to be like, or how you know them to be like. I figured today we could just sit down and talk about it for a while."

He scraped his throat. "We've only known of the existence of alien species since... well, around when I was born. At the start we were a little in awe of them, and at the same time, a little afraid. So was I, actually. And then one day, I had... a pretty bad run-in with one, and I realized they're not much different from us any of us. Some of them are good people, some of them are bad. Every species has its quirks, but it's not defined by them."

"Anyway, the floor is yours. Talk about it. Please."

"Well, Asari are really good dancers..." Ace might have wandered into entirely the wrong club.

She should probably have something deeper to say than that. Considering all the alien species she'd met -- if not on Iceworld, where most alien species were, by virtue of being the type of people who'd voluntarily come to Iceworld in the first place, annoying -- at least during the field trip, yeah?

"The freckles don't go all the way down."

Ace might have wandered into entirely the wrong club and stayed there most of the weekend. As you do. For science.

"Uh."

That seemed pretty fitting, didn't it?

"Thanks for sharing."

You have a dirty mind, sir. All Ace did was watch one dance.

Well, maybe a couple.

Sometimes she sat forward and sometimes she leaned back, but it was still just watching.

"Might not be all of 'em?" Ace felt obliged to add with a slightly defensive shrug. "It wasn't a huge research sample."
