Good day, everyone.

[An easily polite opening, Turo carrying the phone in hand, just getting a shot of his head and shoulder—]

My apologies for being on low contact for a while, even thought some of you could still easily find me at Cosmo Conservatory animal sanctuary. There was a... much needed break taken, one could say. Not that it was completely filled with rest.

[—some could likely recognize Dojima sitting on the floor within view, Mariposa walking up beside the man and setting one of the wiggly, squeaky-noise making puppies right into the man's hands. More than one in view as while Dojima was playing with them, well.

In a short amount of time the detective was simply on his back and at the 'mercy' of Xolos puppies just starting to get their paws under them. Iron Valiant carrying a few clean blankets simply stepping over/around it all easily.

Turo focusing the camera on himself, a very sleepy Xolos puppy cradled against his chest -a few white spots on otherwise black fuzz- with a loose lavender 'ribbon' around its neck. Could possibly count 8 puppies in total.]

Mariposa made sure of that. Once they are a little older, and house trained, these little ones going off to a less crowded home may do them well; and do not worry if you do consider it, this breed does do well around other animals.

Do feel free to stop by and visit in person, or simply ask over this.

[Despite that Things Keep Happening™ there, at least this had been a brighter spot.]

Comments

[thearchangel]

Hm. Good plan. Where are you located?

[Maybe this is overkill, but Shepard did really like her pets...]

Ah - house training. Probably be appreciated. I never had pets growing up, actually. Shepard did, though.

[fractales]

Currently I am in the medical building within Cosmo Conservatory- here.

[That would be a map and easy directions on Eltrut to get there.]

Creatures some would consider as pets in my world are very much a part of life- more so when they have certain abilities at a very young age. A reason those who wish to embark on training with them are often given Starters that have been prepped to help make learning easier for them.

[thearchangel]

Thanks - have to swing by when she's out. Can't have her suspecting anything.

[He thinks he's so funny for that. Acting like this is some undercover mission.]

Pretty sure that's similar on most planets where we're from too. Just wasn't really my experience. And anything bigger than a fish or a small rodent was typically banned from being kept on stations.

[fractales]

A bit of a surprise then? I shall be sure to say nothing if I speak with her anytime soon.

[Possible pet an important mission-]

The creatures where I am from are very much tied to many parts of life; be they training companions, or just what most would view as long time pets. We are seen to have the same origin as well, and more of a reason to have such a deep sort of tie.

Studying the animals of this world has been interesting, to say the least.

[thearchangel]

You ah. You could say that.

[The most important of missions, honestly.]

You're a biologist, then? Or... naturalist, I suppose?

[fractales]

I am something of a biologist in my world, yes; my line of work means I have knowledge and skills in a variety of fields. Professor Turo, Pokémon Professor of Paldea.

[Which was only a brief answer that could bring a lot more questions-]

I study the creatures of my world, and help others learn to raise them, along with look into strange phenomenon to better understand and even harness some influence from it. Most of my work would be focused on the region I am based in of course, but it pays to look into what goes on in the various other regions as well.

Here that means I am capable of creating various medicines, items that could be used in fights, and can create or invent various technologies limited only by resources. On top of my work with animals and plants.

[thearchangel]

[He inclines his head - about as close to a handshake as you can really get over the network.]

Garrus Vakarian. Used to man the guns on a warship, now I'm working with the Seventh Heroine.

[Which is going to have so many guns eventually--]

I see how working with animals translates here, but what about the rest? Haven't met many biologists who work with tech and medicine on the side.

[Mordin doesn't count. Mordin is an outlier.]

[fractales]

A pleasure then- that would be Miss Zelda's ship, correct? She is a brilliant young woman.

[Even from a few run ins and even working with a certain variety of plants for... reasons. Still-]

I have taken the study of animals and plants to better understand how magic works in this world, and take that knowledge to magitech. I work with various elemental crystals and gems for power sources, or even cutting them to be used in enchantments. With this I have developed knowledge in using runes much like one might circuitry; one example would be the energy shield shelters used in exploring the tundra some time ago.

On the plant side of things I have been able to develop healing potions and even antidotes for certain afflictions. Sleep aides, breathing aides, and more.

[He dabbled in a lot of things for the sake of research and- well. Helping people anyway he could.]

[thearchangel]

It is. She signed me on as her second in command.

[Weirdly enough, if you ask him. He's still going to cover that ship in guns so help him-]

Damn, you've been busy. [It sounds like something Tali would want to look into.] The crystals could be used to generate personal shields? Like a battery?

Sleep aids. Side effects to those?

[No reason!!]

[fractales]

Which speaks well of her opinion of you, so I would think at least.

[Sometimes you may be a healer, b u t-]

I have a habit of keeping myself busy, but have been getting better at taking breaks. [More so when he had a partner to remind him to come up for some air.] Indeed! I specialize in working with crystals, shaping them to harness power and focus it; and that seems to translate well to the elemental crystals and gems here. I have even managed to create emergency shields hidden within a locket- of course they need time to recharge after use. The larger ones last longer and can take quite a few strong hits before they start to give.

Depends on the strength of dosage taken, but it ranges from grogginess to perhaps strange dreams; no night terrors at least.

[thearchangel]

I - suppose.

[But we're going to move right on past that, yep.]

That makes sense. Any kind of power cell, battery, or whatever you have it, has its limit. Even our shields - where I'm from - get depleted the more hits they take. Just hard to imagine gemstones being able to hold that kind of power.

[No night terrors. He's quiet a minute more.]

Might be asking for a lot. A dog, some tech and medication. Feels like I should be paying you.

[fractales]

A reason that it takes refining a crystal or gem to be able to better focus and use that energy to make them useable as such. Cutting it, trying to get the correct faceting, and so on. The rechargeability is something I am proud of with them when it comes to the barrier shields, of course.

I try to better them with each new design.

[Which could be said of everything he made; the more he used something, the better the refining method of anything became over that time.]

Understandable, really. I do take payment, but I am just as happy to trade that for anything that could go towards Cosmo Conservatory, or simply testing something new I may create.

[thearchangel]

Damn - I know a few people from home who'd love to work with you on that kind of thing. Real tech heads. One of them, she could probably build a spacecraft powered on one of those crystals, if you gave her enough time and spare parts.

[At least Tali isn't here to overhear that. Don't praise your found family sibling where they can overhear you.]

I don't have much in the way of trade... There's not much call for calibrating weapon systems here. But if you'd take payments, that, I can do.

[fractales]

There is always a pleasure in working with others who have experiences like that, honestly. Quite a lot of progress can be made; a rather enjoyable thought, should she ever appear here. It could take a little finagling to create an engine powered by crystals- which honestly gives me an idea for a project. No spacecraft of course, but perhaps something to delve into the waters safely.

[Listen- sometimes all it took was something simple to create a spark of inspiration for him. Still, it sounded to Turo as if he was certainly fond of this person.]

You could help test shields with any sort of weaponry on hand- I do not make weapons, but you could say I lean more towards defense. Still, I do take payments in either time or actual money; a mix even with the ability to ask for extra hands around the animal sanctuary here and there.

[thearchangel]

If you like working with that kind of person, I'll point her at you. If she ever shows up. [Which he doubts, at this point.] Under the water... you mean like a dive suit? Or submersible?

[If so, count him out. None whatsoever. Thank you.]

Well, if I'm anything... it's a pretty good target. Who does happen to have a lot of weapons at his disposal.

[fractales]

I tend to yes. [A light hum-] A submersible- likely a small one at first, given ways to get down there are limited to magic which can deplete one's own energy. Something for those that want to explore the depths without worry of magic running out.

[Something to do in his free time, really. Personal projects helped him here and there after all.]

Well, if you would like to help test out personal shields as they are developed -along with larger ones- your help would be welcome.

[thearchangel]

Then, I say good luck with that. But I won't be any help - you won't catch me in a ten kilometer radius of anything that goes underwater. No offense.

[He barely tolerates boats. And ships. Under the water is a flat no.]

Just sign me up as a crash test dummy then.

[fractales]

None taken, not everyone is built for -or would enjoy- traversing beneath the waves in something that would feel a little closed and likely not large as one would want.

[He'd be more apt to test it himself rather than tempt fate with others until he was sure or certain safeties.]

Greatly appreciated- and I shall let you know when I have the latest model ready for testing.

[thearchangel]

Exactly. Water typically means a lot of... well. Drowning. Far as I'm concerned.

[His people sink. Like rocks.]

Thanks, much appreciated.

[fractales]

Which is reasonable- have you come across any items to help? For any emergencies, I remember seeing a few last time I went to the RAY Trade Center.

[Some bubble charm or other, but there were items that came and went with the months simply due to their rarities or even seasons.]

Of course, it is better when both sides feel there is a fair trade- or so I find.

[thearchangel]

I find that not going out on tiny boats tends to help. But... aside from that, not really. Not yet.

[fractales]

Something to keep an eye on, of course upon recommendation of seeing what the Ray Trading Center may have. The items usually range from weapons to... other things.

[thearchangel]

Weapons?

Any idea what kind?

Sorry, Health Happened _(:з)∠)_

[fractales]

From memory? Enchanted with some elemental magicks, typically swords but there have been shields and even axes. A firearm or two.

I do not typically look them over very closely as I do not hold much interest in them personally.
