But a killer easily recognized another killer, and every breathing soul standing before her had blood on their hands. Some just had an easier time bathing in it than others.<br/><br/>As her eyes traveled to the team, the sharpness of her gaze eventually settled over the uncomfortable Pix and the unconscious Batarian.<br/><br/>Pix she recognized and judging by the way he was practically squirming where he stood, Aria imagined that all sorts of violent scenarios were unfolding inside his tiny little brain. The Asari sneered, and she was instantly rewarded by seeing the krogan swallow sharply, immediately, and audibly. But the bow-wrapped present…<br/><br/>With a nod of her head, Aria watched as Ashton obediently reached forward and grabbed hold of Ipako. Lifting his limp head revealed to the asari someone that shocked and surprised her. Someone who had caused the queen of Omega to blink rapidly with shocked recognition. But just as things were getting interesting and just as the queen straightened in her seat, Brius was quickly stepping forward with a datapad clutched in his hand, which she immediately took.<br/><br/>The asari frowned as she read what was presented to her. Then another member of her crew presented a stepped forward with another datapad, and whispered something briefly against her ear. Aria scowled. And then she narrowed her eyes and tightened her lips. Soon Ipako became<em>less</em>interesting and the data streams coming in required her utmost attention.<br/><br/>Ashton shifted her weight from foot to foot, awkwardly holding Ipako and his bow-wrapped brow. She looked at her team, shrugged her shoulders, and decided to free her hands by releasing the Batarian and letting his body slump back to the ground.<br/><br/>When Aria returned her attention to the group, she looked less than pleased even after several minutes had passed by.<br/><br/>“It’s uncanny, that the moment you two show up on my doorstep trouble seeps out of the crevices.”<br/><br/>Ashton kept her mouth shut for the moment, but she couldn’t help stealing a glance over at Luus, brow arching in question.<em>What kind of trouble did you bring?</em><br/><br/>“I know who you have there. We can get into the specifics of how I feel about<em>that</em>after you answer my very simple question.” Before Ashton or Luus could speak, however, Aria pointed split fingers at the pair. “No. I want the both of you to shut up, I already know what you’ll say.<em>You.</em>”<br/><br/>She pointed directly to Jackiro without turning her gaze.<br/><br/>“Tell me, Salarian: what brings two fully-crewed spectres onto my station?"<br/>
