I need you to keep an eye on someone for me. Garrus Vakarian. He's a turian, and he's on your team. He's threatened me.
FROM: leng.kai@cdc.org
I don't want you to do anything to interfere with him, but I'd like to have a heads up in case you see him do anything suspicious.
FROM: leng.kai@cdc.org
I need to know who his friends are, who he talks to, what his relationships are on the ship. So I know who to be careful with.

I'd like to know that, too. But I'll find that out myself. All I need you to do is keep an eye on him. Let me know if he's up to something.

This isn't spy work is it? Because I'm totally not a good spy. Apparently.

No spy work. Promise. I don't want you to risk him noticing you.
FROM: leng.kai@cdc.org
Just keep an eye on him, on his communication, and let me know what he's up to.

Sure, if that's what you want to call it. Just make sure I'm the only one you tell.

Told you before, I'm not really that mysterious. I'm perfectly open with you. Don't believe me?

People threatening you for reasons you don't even know? Don't act like that isn't mysterious.

He's a turian. That's probably enough reason. But you're right, I want to find out what he has against me, too.

Are you doing the whole speciest thing again? Because we had that talk once.
Maybe that's why? It is kind of rude. Draws out murder-y tendencies.

Were you there when the turians attacked us without prior warning, bombarded a colony from orbit and held the siege until supplies ran out?
FROM: leng.kai@cdc.org
They aren't like us. Don't make the mistake to think they are. They're barely a step removed from dinosaurs. And they only believe in total war.

You act like humans don't do that to themselves. You can't base a whole species off the actions of a few.

Okay. Talking to a vampire here. And do you know what vampires do? They feed on people to survive. Every single one has to drink blood, no loophole.
FROM: forbes.caroline@cdc.org
Totally doesn't mean I kill people like some of the others of my kind do.

We're not talking about a few bad examples in a particular group here. We're talking about a different species entirely.

You were human once, weren't you? They aren't. They think, feel, and operate in a completely different way from us.
FROM: leng.kai@cdc.org
You and I share a homeworld. Something we both have an interest in preserving. They couldn't care less about our world or our species.
FROM: leng.kai@cdc.org
When we first made contact with them, they attacked us without warning. Not individuals. Their entire military.
FROM: leng.kai@cdc.org
They were aiming to wipe us out or get us as close to it as possible. That's not the same as a few psychopaths in a group. It's politics and biology.

It's not biology it's politics. That's like saying because a whole country decides to wage war on another country it's in their genetics to want to wage war all the time.
FROM: forbes.caroline@cdc.org
It's just war on an inter-planetary scale. That's all.

It's both. Humans are largely genetically identical. Aliens aren't. Some of them even have DNA based on different amino-acids.

Their brains work in a completely different way.
