#𝐂𝐎𝐒𝐌𝐈𝐂 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐒. — an independent multi-muse rp blog for sci-fi and sci-fi adjacent characters. featuring characters from the mass effect original trilogy, dispatch, TRON: uprising, etc. this blog is extremely low priority, and i will be building narratives selectively to keep it low-pressure. i prefer to initiate plotting/writing, usually with people i'm already associated with; follow if you want, but no follow back guaranteed.

uplifted by written by jude, or sonny; follows come from @shepcdr (main blog, mass effect's commander shepard. additionally, any in-writing references to shepard on this blog will usually be to my own, unless plotting & writing with other shepards!).

INCREDIBLY LOW ACTIVITY. mutuals only. narrative driven & writing/plotting-heavy, multi para & novella. 20+ preferred, no minors. i will not follow back multi-spaced content (beyond double-spaced) or writers who use large gifs in their writing posts, and i operate by "follow first — reach out first." if i have followed you, i will IM you within several months to start the conversation and offer ideas, and if you follow me first, please do the same. this is just a short version of my rules — view them here in their entirety.

most muses will be focused within their original universes, but hoping to expand into other verses, with time!

ik that writing f.irst order or imperial characters for sum ppl is a big no-no... and for sure I agree that there are some nutty people out there who simply just have Bad Takes and glorify smth that has no business being glorified... but sheev palpatine is simply like the funniest creature alive. which does not discount the fact that he is also deeply evil. but i respect the dedication and extensive planning and most of all the whimsy. (also: for characters who are constantly objected to sneev's manipulations and plans, yall deserve The star war villain to rp against)

@apexulansis ( hush hush surprise starter )

" UNREGISTERED LIFE FORM DETECTED. " extranet search protocols initiated. individual's height, approximate, 2.6 metres; sinonasal region formed by a structure radiating numerous appendages, exuding excessive heat beyond most observable organic ranges; thick fur, white, appearance suggests full-bodied coat [ data insufficient ] ; four eyes, two non-organic [ data irrelevant, removed from search ] —— no matches found in intergalactic census or medical data. no observations of similar life forms in user-operated forums.

" you are an undocumented organic species. " LEGION maintain a distance of five metres; for physical security, shepard-commander's typical proximity to crewmates is unadvised. [ the majority of shepard-commander's actions are unadvised. trajectory of career with shepard-commander's personal and military records is ordinarily highly unlikely. yet shepard-commander's upwards movement in the alliance armed forces defies this.

[ conclusion: relevant data not always considered; human judgement consistently irrational. shepard-commander consistently irrational —— accounting for this, platform advised to retreat from unidentified organic by additional 1.5 metres. ]

" we propose an exchange of information. we are geth ... networked artificial intelligences, designed by the quarian people. we served our creators through labour, technological maintenance and advancement, and a variety of additional tasks. until 288 years prior: in the morning war.

" we are called LEGION —— a terminal of the geth. we ally ourselves with shepard-commander. as do you. "

@lanternlit, surprise starter ( if you don't mind! )

IT REQUIRED MINIMAL TIME [ 3.55 SECONDS, to be precise, and six separate visual angles for accurate computation ] to generate schematics of EDI's recently acquired platform. all systems within LEGION are functional, and computing speeds within acceptable range following physical damages sustained on the geth dreadnought ... processing power can be allotted elsewhere. now, they consult amongst themselves, and time is designated for a consensus to be reached.

the last of their numbers decline input. regardless, a majority support informing. the platform navigates to the nearest transmitter in normandy sr-2's newly-constructed war room to open a channel.

this is the current most efficient form of communications aboard normandy; EDI has previously declined geth network connection to her systems. [ this choice was an adequate security measure. they will not make the request again. ]

they wait for her response. EDI promptly receives the transmission.

" your new platform is inefficient. it has low-volume hydraulics and is top-heavy. " they do not disapprove. [ but they do not approve. ]

EDI's subsequent explanation does not suffice. her current platform serves as a poor infiltration unit —— overt differences from a human will be immediately evident to organics with even poor-to-moderate visual processing capability. EDI must be informed:

" — without an artificial epidermis, its infiltration capabilities are ineffective. " she must know this .... there is, then, a secondary motive [?] .
