“ the normandy is a state of the art vessel, ” edi stands at parade rest, though her tone is more casual than formal. her head dips briefly as a hand gestures out across the cic before returning to its previous position. “ a combination of human and turian designs, alongside cutting edge technology that makes it more efficient. power blackouts are of null probability, and the normandy can function independently within space for longer than other alliance vessels. to put it simply - yes, we do, however the strain on the normandy is significantly lesser than it would be on any other ship in the alliance fleet. ”
STATE OF THE ART VESSEL indeed. she’s a behemoth. if the speed and cloaking are anything like what the grumbles rey have heard claim, she’s like nothing else out there. rey lets out a low whistle and wonders, just for a moment, how much she could GET for even the smallest scrap of this ship. it’s a terrible habit she has - picked up from mining wrecks either crashed or in orbit - to try and price out any piece of tech that comes her way. depends on the planet, of course, but rey can usually deduce what something would go for on omega versus the citadel versus illium. enough time has been spent in the seedier markets on each for it to be almost second nature. gaze turns back to edi and rey bites back a question about the cost of the ship ; ir would be rude to ask. “she’s AMAZING,” it’s dreadfully earnest from rey, “i can’t even imagine what it must be like staying on her long term.”
aleadamia:
Virtue is rarely a worthwhile commodity, this day and age; either too cheap and thus easily bought, or it’s priceless—and impossible to exploit. Awash by the claret-dark of Omega’s bowels, she makes for a lucid figure amidst the flutter of a hundred different drifters moving and out. As her words intersperse between the ever-constant din of raucous conversation, the perpetual tone of negotiation that’s true to this station, Nihlus remains aware, mindful of their surroundings with an ease that spoke of familiarity. “You’re passing up on a lot of profit with those exceptions.” Those are not things to casually lie about, not here, and admiration laces through his tone rather than any reproach—quiet and sincere.
“If I were to extend an invitation for a job that involves interfering with that particular list of operations… would you be interested?” Mirroring her candor, offering pieces of his truth, Nihlus folds his arms across the table; palms empty save for the chance taken at this moment. “And there’s no company involvement. Just me and some luck.,” he adds, laughter present in his rumbling intonation.
the fact her words are not met with a LAUGH or words like stupid or soft is enough to catch rey’s ATTENTION. she hadn’t thought him a recruiter, but there’s more than that that people can come looking for. the lack of mud slung is at least enough for her to answer with a tilt of the head and a quick look over him again. “yeah,” rey agrees - because she IS. running with eclipse or even someone with less NAME RECOGNITION could earn her enough credits to get a nicer ship, get out of the business altogether, go retire on some pretty planet with green far as the eye could see. BUT, “what’s the use of profit if you can’t live with yourself after what you did to earn it.”
the PROPOSITION is interesting. rey folds her legs and leans forward a touch, cup abandoned at her elbow when she rests both on the table and steeples her fingers beneath her chin. “that...depends on the details,” there’s a smile curling at her lips, though, and keen interest had begun to glitter in dark eyes. “luck hasn’t ever really been a FRIEND OF MINE.”
you did not name me. i wrestled that angel myself, spit out blood, CAME BACK STORM-DRENCHED, came back streaked with clay and stardust, CAME BACK SINGING. i walked from revelation to revelation, through green flame, shattered mountains, every aching famine, AND HERE I AM ANYWAY, STRONGER THAN ALL OF IT! oh harvest moon that is my blood. OH ENDLESSNESS OF THE LIGHT IN ME!

aleadamia:
During the illegible moments of day-to-day survival, it is often the uncomplicated, minuscule acts of kindness that flash the brightest through the galaxy, neon-bright. He remains a polite distance away, arms held at the spine, and relinquishing a low hum from his throat, Nihlus seats himself nearby. Less obtrusive this way, rather than him standing there and continuing to loom over her. “If I say my heart, would it be ridiculous or sad?” It’s something to allay his unexpected arrival amidst the endless, raucous traffic standard to Omega—a thread of humor to tie the conversation towards the mundane. “It’s not every day I hear about someone repairing things for practically no charge, so color me curious. I used to run with the Falcons, a small-time mercenary band near the Traverse, and a fixer’s always been in high demand.” A simple lie, albeit still close to the truth.
“Though, I’ve found Omega’s not the place for steady work unless you’re running with a company, these cycles.” An unspoken question slots itself between the words and his expression, interested in her story.
it breaks the ice, gets a laugh out of her, and eases some of the tension that runs along her shoulders. rey doesn’t let herself RELAX - hardly ever does unless she’s in her ship - but when he sits down rather than standing over her it takes some of the wary edge out from her dark eyes. “a little bit of both,” she decides after a moment of consideration. a hand stays curled around her cup and the other rests in her lap as he speaks. he doesn’t seem the RECRUITER type. a couple companies have tried. eclipse is the only one with any real STANDING and rey can’t stomach the thought of some of the jobs they take.
call her naïve for not wanting to sell her morals down the river in exchange for creds and protection. you wouldn’t be the first. rey leans back in her chair and raises one shoulder in a vague shrug at the unspoken question that lingers in the air. “the protection and money would be nice,” no point in lying ; he says he’s been around and seems it, too, “but i don’t do anything to do with smuggling eezo, drugs, or exploiting vulnerable people.” there’s something a little tight around the corners of her lips and she takes a swig, “so it narrows down the options.”
you did not name me. i wrestled that angel myself, spit out blood, CAME BACK STORM-DRENCHED, came back streaked with clay and stardust, CAME BACK SINGING. i walked from revelation to revelation, through green flame, shattered mountains, every aching famine, AND HERE I AM ANYWAY, STRONGER THAN ALL OF IT! oh harvest moon that is my blood.

“i KNEW this was a BAD IDEA!” the scold is near drowned out by the sound of blaster fire and rey swears under her breath ; this crate is good enough cover for now, but they’re gonna get flanked sooner rather than later. “we have to move, or else they’re going t-” she’s cut off by a beam of heat and light cutting right through the crate and whizzing past her head. a hole is seared right through the makeshift cover and rey lets out a frustrated shout. “what’s the PLAN?” @dreamwaited

i think i’ve always been in love with the idea of you.
i was only gone for thirty seconds!

you don’t always have to put on a brave face, dear.
we’re friends, right? are we friends?
i know we don’t always agree and i know i can be unkind, but… you know you’re family, right?
i’ve had a terrible thought. and it is sort of my business to have terrible thoughts.
take me instead.
we walk towards glory.
that’s mine! that’s mine!
did it choose me because i was broken, or did it break me?
please bring him back to me.
you think you care about me?
this was always supposed to happen, wasn’t it?
i love you. if i can find you, i will. if not, stay alive.
if he’s gone i won’t be the same.

i forgive you. but i cannot let you leave.

you’re an idiot and i’m very proud of you. don’t do that again.
sound off if you’re alive.

rey doesn’t stay in her Desert Clothes the whole time. she gets a clean flight suit from the resistance base before heading out to find luke, and changes outfits reguluarly. she tends towards sturdy, simple clothing in neutral and earth tones, and is especially fond of jackets and heavy boots.
@aleadamia said ; ❛ You’re good at fixing things. I keep hearing this about you, is that right? ❜
rey blinks, looking up from her drink - head COCKS to the side and she looks him over for a moment before speaking. she does her best to keep her head down, profile low, and her name out of other people’s mouths. the fact that word of her, even seemingly harmless word, is a cause for at least a little bit of concern. maybe it was the kid whos datapad she fixed yesterday. or the guy who just needed someone to recalibrate his ships nav system for a few credits. or - alright, maybe she has been fixing things for people a little more than usual lately.
“depends what you need fixed.” is what she settles on after a beat while leaning back in her chair to peer up at him. “i’m no tech expert, but i can usually figure something out.”

anyways rey is a magpie who picks up any and every shiny thing she can find and just revels at. being able to keep things for herself. having room and space to keep things she just likes. not having to trade every neat thing she finds away for food.
“isn’t UPKEEP a struggle?” head tips as eyes look over the expanse of THE NORMANDY. rey has heard about it ; of course she has, there’s no one in the damn galaxy who hasn’t at this point. she still looms larger than rey had pictured. her own craft is a tiny one-seater, only enough room for her and maybe a guest if they don’t mind stepping on each other’s toes. “you all must put her through the wringer.” @mobileplatform
