TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE

There have been a lot of riftfarers arriving lately. It seems like there have been more arriving than usual. So many different kinds of people from different kinds of worlds with stories to tell and experiences to give.

A little game has appeared on the shellphone network in hopes of getting to know just a little more about these otherworlders. You might find it on your shellphone as you’re scrolling through one day.

Tell the world two truths and one lie about yourself. And let others try and decipher which of the three is your lie. If they can guess right, perhaps you’ve been able to make a new acquaintance. Or in the least learn more about someone from another walk of life.

A severed head that flew around the room and tried to kill us.

By... them, specifically? Their programs? Or the geth in general?

Yeah, I was there for that "trial". You're wondering this because you were sending your father pieces of geth platforms?

[talizoraaah]

I never claimed to understand why humans will marry anything.

All of the above?

[She lets out a short breath. At least she won't have to explain it all to him from the beginning. Tali nods at her terminal, even if Garrus can't see it.]

Yes. It was reckless, and in the end all it truly accomplished was increased hostilities. What if I had taken the time to study our history more carefully instead? I'm a scientist, Garrus. I should know better than anyone that not gathering data from all available sources is a failing.

Tali... you had no idea. You said it yourself, you thought you were helping your people.

And before we ran into Legion, none of us knew there were even peaceful geth at all. The entirety of the Milky Way thought they were trigger happy, murderous machines. Saren sure as hell didn't help that image, either.

[talizoraaah]

But I should have. I had access to knowledge and materials none of my people did. Thar combined with my knowledge of Saren's manipulation of Geth tech, if I'd been thinking rationally

If I had known before the Reapers came back

I could have put it together sooner is all. And I remember that it was my own prejudice that kept me from doing so.

You are probably right about Legion. He would have come.

[thearchangel]

There are a lot of things we'd have done differently. If we'd been thinking differently... known before the Reapers showed up.

You weren't the only one doing experiments on the geth. Hell, one of those admirals sounded like she wanted to turn every one of them into an experiment.

Legion... I don't think they ever held anything against anyone. Not even the heretic geth.
