#research later

Okay let me preface this that I haven't been following Hungarian politics in the slightest (I caught this headline by accident) and I will reserve actual judgement until I've researched at least a little more deeply than skimming the guy's wikipedia page. But --

Really?!

Question to research later, unless someone on here knows:

Xenia, of course, is very important in our religion. Hospitality. Kindness and generosity to guests and travelers.

Does this extend to being a guest? Is there moral guidance in Hellenic Polytheism regarding the role of guest?

I'm looking for a recon lens, btw. If you know what ancient philosophers had to say, or specific customs, or even Delphic Maxims relevant to the subject, please let me know.

Asari Customer: So which tech module are we supposed to get?

Elcor Customer: With confusion: I thought you knew.

Asari Customer: What? No! All I heard Viranis say was "pick up a module." It's something to do with the omni-gel modulator's heat sink, right? That's why he asked us to go to Saronis. So is it a heat sink module, or a whole new omni-gel module that has a better heat sink?

Elcor Customer: Politely: continuing to ask will not cause me to suddenly know.

Asari Customer: Did Viranis say the omni-gel modulator's heat sink from this tech shop, or the heat sink modulator?

Elcor Customer: With deep respect: I'm sure he would never confuse the two.

Asari Customer: Wait, did you hack your translator so you can control your kinetic language processing?

Elcor Customer: With a sincerity such that skepticism would be deeply insulting: no.

Asari Customer: Damn it. We came all the way here for the tech upgrades. And you know Viranis won't answer if we call him.

Elcor Customer: Craftily: we could say that the store had to special order it.

Asari Customer: Okay. You're doing the talking.

Does anyone know what specifically the laws were for divorce back then? Like what was Heathcliff not doing?

So yesterday we started reading the MEA codex. Here’s the link to our Discord if you're interested, don’t hesitate to join! I thought I would make several posts about what we discussed (and by we, I mean @homoryder, @silentstephi, @nerdyholler and me)

I'll start with the characters and some questions or reflections we had.

-Ryder: We were interested in the Alliance's attitude toward the Ryder siblings. Alec's research got him discharged but it also ruined his children's career. @silentstephi said it made it sound like the family was tainted forever, which is a bit wtf. @homoryder was wondering if the Ryders could have eventually overcome it the way Ash did. -Kallo: I wondered if Parohe Aerospace warned Garson against recruiting him "so fervently" for a reason other than wanting to keep him around. -Cora: Codex gives us a nice insight into the asari huntresses. The records are sealed for 5000 years, which is... a lot of time as @homoryder pointed out.  It's also worth noting that Cora's superior biotic talents was seen as a liability by the Alliance (to me it means they still don't really know how to handle powerful biotics and don't have good training for them). I also wonder why Cora’s service number was included in her entry. No other character has information that specific? -Suvi: @homoryder was the one who caught the part about her being "headhunted by a black-ops organization for a classified biomedical project": it's likely Cerberus wanted her for the Project Lazarus and she said no. Just think about it: we could have had Suvi and Miranda working together!!! -Liam: his entry gives us a lot of information about, well, law and order. His parents specialized in "interplanetary policy law": I would think it means human law across all planets (colonies included? no idea) while galactic law is linked to Citadel space. Would love to get your opinion on this.  -Ellen: Codex talks about "neuro-integrated wetware", it would mostly mean the brain linked to artificial systems. Thought process would be compared to computer systems. -SAM: Alec encouraged SAM to write their own entry.
