To: Alma Wade, former capable volunteer lab assistant.

You must be having a hyper-accelerated pregnancy or that thing within you is manifesting with greater intensity.

There are ghostly child-sized shadow people skipping through my lab. It's very distracting. I've had one employee quit because of phantom screeching and another one tried to gouge their eyes out with lab utensils because he lacks a backbone when it comes to all things paranormal. So for the sake of science and continuing my projects and experiments, tell that parasite within you to stop causing havoc, immediately, or I'll find a way to erect a containment barrier so that I can properly rip their ghostly molecules apart study them.

Thank you for your semi-cooperation,

Dr. Kurotsuchi Mayuri
Lead Scientist, SRDI.

>> You think Wrex will let us set a nursery up on the ranch?
>> after Elise finishes needing it some other girl here may need it
>> I can paint and do all of that

[Sent a few minutes later to Wrex]
>> May I have a room to set up as a nursery for Elise?
>> I'll do all the labor.

Barton:

>>Call me. BIG news.

Ollie:

>>Look, I'm sorry.
>>Also? Something major happened.
>>In a good sense.
>>Fucking best in the...
>>Just call me.

Alma:

>>How are you?
>>I have the most incredible news!

To all SRDI employees, temporary or permanent,

With the help of a capable lab assistant, we are making great strides in lengthening life expectancy by a number of days with the last rounds of test subjects. I believe we are onto a mix of known medicinal compounds that can slow down some of the severity of the virus. It is not a cure, by any means or definition. There will still be casualties if a cure is not found. I am forwarding information and data to Stark Industries and the persons responsible for making the inhalers.

If any of you should contract this and die, it was part of your employment agreement that I get to dissect you, as you signed your bodies over to science. I would like to thank you prior to your demise for your contribution, and express my condolences that you never had the chance to use your non-cumulative yearly vacation time, or dip into your 401k or pension plans.

I would also like to state that there is going to be a new company policy being retroactively activated. If you are a permanent or temporary employee of the lab and happen to be impregnated, you are required to submit an amniotic fluid sample. Please schedule a time within the next 72 hours and I will look forward to coming at you with a very long needle.

Thank you for your continued cooperation and hard work,

M. Kurotsuchi,
president and lead scientist, Shinigami Research & Development Institute

>> Dress nice.

>> Who is Ri?

>> I think I have a girlfriend

[Shepard]

>> I'll be back on Saturday.
>> I'm not sure this accomplished anything but hurting people.
>> Cleared my head at least.
>> Tell me Alma hasn't been a handful

[Alma]

>> Kid. I'm sorry I took off like that.
>> I'll be back soon.

[Summers]

[Kasumi]

>> I uh..how do I ..
>> Hey.

[To Zevran]

>> I met this girl...

[To Sam]

>> Happy Thanksgiving

[To Roy]

>> Happy Thanksgiving, I am thinking of you.

[To Zevran]
>> Normally I wouldn't really give a damn, but she's still young and vulnerable and Wrex isn't here to headbutt you.
>> Next time I'll aim for something vital.
>> When she's eighteen you can be all over her.
>> And I want my bullet back.

[To Liara]

>> I'm going to move Alma into the city with us. I think it might do her good to go to a real high school. She doesn't need the schooling but she does need the socialization.
>> It can be practice for our little blue babies?

[To Alma]
>> Firstly, You're grounded
>> Secondly where the hell did you learn that stuff?
>> Thirdly, your technique was flawed.
>> Fourthly, we're going to get you some friends your age.
>> Fifthly, select three boxes of books and two boxes of clothing. You're going to stay with Liara and me on weekdays. You shouldn't be alone.

>> I'd send you something, but that would get you arrested.

>> Did you dress up for Halloween?
>> I was a flapper.

I am sorry about my behavior.

((Basically, if you think your character knows Roy well enough, etc, you got this. Includes people he's talked to significantly online))


So Guys. Roy turned twenty today, and we're having a little...thing...over at Chez Barton Saturday at 6. You're all welcome to join in if you wanted. There'll be booze, entertainment and chinese food. Just let us know if you're coming by then!

Addendum to Message: Okay, figured i should clarify before people get potentially upset. Booze is for people who are legally allowed to drink. There'll be other drinks too. Coke or Pepsi products. Whichever.

>> I'm a witch
>> You can't suffer a witch to live, so...
>> You'll have to burn me.

>> Wrex says I'm coming over, apparently?

>> How long are you grounded for?

I think I'm stronger than I should be. I didn't realize it was beyond what was normal until they pulled me aside for a drug test.

Clean, obviously.

Is there any way to test for -- I don't know, alien super-strength? I don't know if I know how to hold back.

I am so sorry.

Just following up. I went to see him. I think he's going to try and help me figure out how to get legally emancipated.

The books enclosed are It Gets Better and Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You. There's a handwritten note in very beautiful calligraphy as well.

Dear Alma,

When you are eighteen I will send you things that are more exciting. Until then, remain beautiful.

Z

( Alma )

What surname would I be taking when you adopt me? I realized I don't actually know.

>> Merrill needs to talk to Hawke! Pass it on!

>>[Close up shots of breasts]
>>Here you go, princess ;D

>> I feel like I should apologize for my behavior on Sunday night.
>> Mainly the part where I was awkward and clumsy and had no idea what I was doing.
>> But also probably the dancing. Are you sure it didn't blind you?

>> You're the only one I know who might understand this.
>> Sometimes life will be completely normal...
>> But every so often lately I hear something.
>> Something someone doesn't mean to say.

>> You should get a blue dress, if you haven't already. It would suit you best.
>> I'm going shopping tomorrow, all my clothing was destroyed.
>> I still want those lessons.

To Alma:
>> You know I read the valarnet right?
>> Just because we aren't living under the same roof right now...
>> ... You don't even know that woman.
>> Do you have a dress to this gala thing yet?

To Eddard:
>> Listen, I've been crazy busy and missed the news recently.
>> But that's your daughter that's still missing, isn't it?
>> Are you okay over there?
>> Need anything?
