I realize it does seem like a very long time for most people.

Asari can live to be over 1000 years old, if disease, famine, or war doesn't kill us first. Anyone under 300 is considered young, anyone under 100 it's surprising that they're still not living with their Mother or at least close to home.

I suppose it's all relative, in the end. Ravkans are drafted at fourteen. That must seem like barely out of the womb to you.

Not entirely, we've been friends with the turians for millennia and their people are all drafted into their military at fifteen. Our military is volunteer but the turians is mandatory and all about serving their hierarchy.

The latter structure sounds familiar to me.

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

But a volunteer force sounds kinder. You never find it's a problem, that you have too few coming forward for service?
dowhatittakes: (thinking about all of the old times)

[personal profile] dowhatittakes 2014-07-08 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
No, asari with strong biotics tend to go toward our military. It's seen as highly respected work for talents that require a great deal of training.

Although, we're not designed for war. We don't have the infrastructure. It's why my homeworld fell within hours of being attacked.

By Reapers.

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

I'm sorry, Liara. What will happen to your people now?
dowhatittakes: (so much information)

[personal profile] dowhatittakes 2014-07-10 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
We're spread fairly widely through the galaxy, if the reapers aren't stopped we will be the ones to witness the fall of our cycle.

As for the people on Thessia, they'll likely be harvested as reaper troops to attack other worlds with.

[ He doesn't know what that means, so he pauses for a moment. He'd assumed the Reapers were a killing force.

But if they're harvesters... ]

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

That sounds unpleasant. Some form of brainwashing?
dowhatittakes: (we will find the answer)

[personal profile] dowhatittakes 2014-07-14 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
They have that, it's called indoctrination and they entirely take over your mind and make you believe in their cause. The rest as killed and reanimated with Reaper tech and deformed into husks. It's something out of the worst nightmares to imagine.
sturmhond: (Default)

[personal profile] sturmhond 2014-07-15 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ It is. Even he thinks that, and he tries not to take anything seriously. ]

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

Husks. Not a very flattering name. Do you think they remember what they were, where they're from?
dowhatittakes: (I can't describe it)

[personal profile] dowhatittakes 2014-07-18 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
No, they're whatever race they originally were but mutated with electronics. All they know is attack and kill to take the bodies and make more husks.

[ Silence, for a moment. ]

FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org

That's a ghastly business. War of any kind always is, of course, but to lose people like that is a worse fate than death. No doubt that's why they do it.
dowhatittakes: (there is no way we can pull this off)

[personal profile] dowhatittakes 2014-07-23 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
It's horrifying, especially when most people are still alive when they're turned. It's even worse when they start mixing parts from different races together into new and more terrifying creatures.

I can't imagine a great lot that's worse than that. You've seen this happen, personally?
dowhatittakes: (disappointed)

[personal profile] dowhatittakes 2014-07-28 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I have, personally watched humans, turians, and asari be turned into reaper forces. It's terrifying to know what these machines can do with their technology.

I'm sorry, Liara. Truly. I've known war, but not like that. It's difficult to imagine anything worse than such a loss of control, of self.
dowhatittakes: (that's not a good noise)

[personal profile] dowhatittakes 2014-07-31 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
I've read about human wars and they seems every bit as horrific as the one we're fighting now. This one just has the worst kinds of atrocities as opposing forces that I've heard of. But, we will fight. None of us are going to go down without a struggle.

I know that. Sometimes that's all you can do, and as a general rule, it's a damned sight better than nothing.
dowhatittakes: (reflecting)

[personal profile] dowhatittakes 2014-08-01 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
You're right, hopefully from here it gets batter. Or I can learn something from the CDC to help back home.

I hope it's possible, for what that's worth.

[personal profile] dowhatittakes 2014-08-05 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you, I hope so too.
