<strong>SSV Normandy SR-1 [Eden Prime; Geosynchronous orbit]</strong><br/><br/>(http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/7472/329213-me_normandy2_large.jpg)<br/><br/>Anastasia sighed softly to herself as she reclined in the ECM/ECCM tactical station chair. At least the chairs were comfortable. She thought as she scrolled through the duty logs for the station as well as the maintenance logs. She was out of her Predator Armor and clad in her Skin-suit teasingly showing off every curve of her lithe form as it clung to her as if painted on. Despite its seemingly diaphanous appearance it was tougher than steel, non conductive, water proof, and chemically resistant.  The Skin-suits were normally worn by alliance fighter pilots under their flight suits. She wore one because it’s protective properties and because it was easier to use her tactical cloaking ability since there was simply less to cloak and besides she looked absolutely hot in it.<br/><br/>Both of the station logs were quite short as the Normandy was a brand-new ship just off her fitting out and just starting her Shakedown cruse. She and the others had been onboard the shiny new ship for two hours now.  She had only just finished her debriefing with Captain Anderson and Navigator Pressly not 20 minutes ago.  The two civilians that they had picked up during the Geth incursion on Eden Prime were probably in with the Captain now. Once their debriefing was completed the Captain would make his decision as to what to do next.<br/>Commander Sheppard was still in sickbay unconscious after the Prothean Beacon exploded.  The ships Doctor, Dr. Chakwas, said that there didn’t appear to be any serious physical injury or neurological damage to Sheppard. Still the Commander had suffered a severe neurological shock, but until Sheppard awoke she couldn’t be sure if there would be any lasting effects from the accident.<br/><br/>With the Geth assault on Eden Prime, the destruction of the Prothean Beacon, the death of Nihlus Kryik one of the Citadel Council's Specter agents, and Sheppard still unconscious, her guess was that they would be heading back to the Citadel and then earth.<br/>Still she would have time on the trip back to chat with the Quarian Jemarr as well as the freelance archaeologist Xeia. There was something odd about her but she couldn’t quite put her finger on what specifically was different about her.<br/>Anastasia was roused out of her musings by the station comm chirping. She pressed the link button and was greeted by Jokers voice.<br/>“Can you come up here I want to ask you something about signals, carrier waves, and stuff.” The disembodied voice said as she looked down the long corridor that led to the ships cockpit.<br/>“I’ll be down momentarily…Joker.” Anastasia replied as she closed the comm link. He probably just wanted to watch her ass when she walked back after he asked her some lame question she thought as she slid the stations chair back and headed down the long narrow hall towards where he sat.<br/><div class="floatright">(http://technology.inc.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/wave-form-360-300x187.jpg)</div>“Hey,” Joker said not even looking back to her as she stood behind his pilots chair, “can you look at this signal data and tell me if it looks like it’s a Geth Signal?” the pilot said as he pressed several keys on the console the holographic display showing a complex layered wave form.<br/>“At first I thought it was a just some massive Omni directional signal burst but then I realized that it was directed and we were just happened to be in the signals path,” Jeff said taking a moment to look back towards Anastasia as she leaned over his chair his eyes trailing down to her breasts as  then quickly back up to her face, “But whats really weird is that he signal was directed out towards the rim, outside the galaxy...So what do you think, since your this is sort of your area of expertise?”  he added with a smile “According to your service record anyway.”<br/>Anastasia smirked as she looked back down to the pilot.<br/>“In the habit of reading System Alliance personnel records?” She asked as she looked back to the display. She couldn’t really say anything, since she had done the same thing and read through several of the crews service records when she was assigned to the Normandy.<br/>“It looks a lot like the carrier wave of a mass effect relay,” she said as she shifted up closer to Joker and began to manipulate the data on the display.<br/>“Ummm yeah that’s what I thought too.” He said distracted as the Anastasia’s lithe form pressed against him as she practically sat in his lap.<br/>“This quaternary signal looks to be Geth, I don’t know what this one is though,” she said highlighting a sub-band in the display “It’s definitely an encrypted signal in the Geth message...but it’s not Geth.”<br/>“Sooo?” Jeff said shrugging his shoulders as he casually ran his eyes down Anastasia’s back pausing to admire her ass.<br/>“So, it could be related to that unidentified ship, the strange behavior of the Geth, and their using bio weapon war-beasts.” Anastasia said as she continued to study the data display. “We should inform Captain Anderson. Where did the signal originate from?” She asked looking back to Joker who was still studying her bottom, “Flight Lieutenant!” Anastasia said crisply startling Joker out of his ogling.<br/>“Ma’am, ” Joker said knowing full well he had gotten caught staring at her ass, “it originated from the Hydra Maelstrom relay…Ma’am.”  He said hurriedly adding a charming smile as he did. Anastasia smirked back at the pilot as she shifted up from her position.<br/>“Send me a copy of the data Joker.” She said as she turned and headed back towards the CIC knowing full well that Joker was watching her ass the whole way back.<br/><br/>
