Hey, is anyone awake for this?
[ A squint at the screen, and a deep frown, while Kaidan looks like he's contemplating something. ]
Actulaly, is anyone...not falling asleep a lot? I'm... I'm pretty sure I'm one of the few around here that hasn't fallen asleep much. At least -- no more than normal? [ This time, he looked to the side, off the screen, before looking back. ]
If you are, or if you're... waking up a lot, what's...going on? Anyone have any ideas? A culprit? Hell, I'd even take a place to start. [ Hell, he'll take some information about what's inside at this point. His fingers drum against the side of the comm, jostling it, before he stopped, realizing what he's doing. ]
Anyway, let me know. Uh -- especially if you're not asleep. We should probably start figuring out who's affected, and go from there. You can reply here, or comm me and let me know. We could divide things up, and start to resolve it. Normally these things work themselves out eventually, but... I'd prefer sooner, rather than later you know? I'm getting worried.
[ And then he moves to cut off the comm, a soft murmur as he does so, before it shuts off: ] Today, of all days?

Anyway, we're normally pretty good at the taking care of ourselves thing, except when things interfere. [ A beat. ]
I wonder if most people who don't sleep are going through the same thing? That would be helpful.
Re: voice
It has very low standards, if that is truly what it believes. It speaks of the other non-humans, yes? I have not met many of them and the ones I have still require to sleep.
voice
Is he it? He never knew that could feel so weird. ]
I mean, we need a solution, either way. Well, at least, I think we do.
Re: voice
I say we just let the humans sleep it off. Does anyone really miss them?
[obviously, kaidan does because he's posted about it. shale is fully aware of this, but simply enjoys being... her.]
voice > video
[ His voice sounds like he's edging on the side of worry, and he flipped the camera on, to show the side of someone in bed, sleeping. ] He's been asleep for way too long. If this lasts days, he could starve to death, or hurt himself, or...
[ Look, he's just. Sorry Shale. He's worried. ] Do you want to be the only import here? Because not working to fix this is a quick way to make sure there aren't many of us left, and with the way things are here...
That's actually dangerous.
shes such a jerk im sorry......
[shale seems to be about to say something else, but stops at the sudden change to video. gosh, that was a little shocking. this technology is still hard to grasp.]
Then force feed it! Isn't that what some human doctors do?
i love it
[ He honestly sounds horrified. Maybe if she'd said feeding tube, he'd get the gist, but, color the guy from the future a little grossed out. ]
And I don't know if you've thought out the being alone thing that well, if you'd think it'd be nice. Without a community, especially a powerful community, the government won't have any reason to be accommodating. If they're not accommodating, you'll probably be given the choice to either be a weapon, or get killed. There's no real in-between, here. You might not like people, but we need each other.

[said a little quizzically. shale genuinely thought that was a thing.]
Yes, yes, the power of friendship and all that toss. It's a hero and compassionate human, well done.
no subject
[ A pause. ] Anyway, that's...true but beside the point. [ He literally things she's talking about Shepard don't mind him. ] But just because he needs to wake up doesn't mean that the facts are different.
I mean, you don't have to help, but we'd welcome it.
no subject
Has it tried loud noises?
[please do it for her amusement.]
no subject
[ There's a soft glow offscreen, before a piercing whine picks up, he winced, before he shut it off, and turned the camera back to the very much still asleep commander. ]
Doesn't even stir.
no subject
Perhaps it died.

[ Did that sound a bit like it cut too close? Well. It did. ]

He must be stuck in the Fade.

[ A pause. ]
Is that a name for dreaming?

[ Shale, you have offended him for the last time. ]
He saved the damn galaxy, twice over! This isn't going to be enough to do him in!
[ Okay, so it could, but he couldn't imagine someone like Shepard going this quickly, this quietly. ]
no subject
I think it might!
