my eye — the one that functions— remains fixed upon the work surface .yes , yes … great alliance commander , reduced to primordial pulp. i apply my gloves — thin , but serving purpose . cannot allow what remains of the asset to taint my skin .tainting , tainting— it taints so distastefully— others’ blood .
i look to the ally .ally ? no , not ally.customer. customer’s lackey. i feel a smile. should i be smiling? most likely not . she has a supportive frame .❝ under -stand?❞ i giggle . can’t help it .❝ i quite understand , representative .❞ your superior is droll . banal .basic in his desires .lacks creativity. perhaps a machine ? no . too boring.
i’d like to dissect him .it . whatever .
❝ what remains of the asset is …minimal.❞i grin .❝ disappointing , but not unworkable.❞ i search through my omni - tool — fingers fast .impressive , viln . tutor solus would be proud .❝ i’d recommend looking into deoxyribonucleic acid extraction and extrapolation . preparation for recreation . so as to avoid difficulty , if organs cannot be reassembled from …this .❞
my scar feels heavy. has it ruptured ?❝ you are quite beautiful , representative .❞ imperfectionless skin . peculiar . unusual .why so imperfectionless ? why here ? incentive ? unlikely . will assess at a more convenient time .❝ what is your business working for your employers ?❞ employer singular ? unknown .
SHE’S ENCOUNTERED ECCENTRICS in the past . the job demands it , plying scientists who would be geniuses if not for their — distasteful habits .
one must be able to maintain a certain level of compartmentalization , tuck their smaller morals into a box to be turned over later , like broken china . some might even consider her mad for this attempt : playing god , for the sake of humanity , for a good cause . nature in reverse , turning back as time pressures ever onward . time . never enough of it , snarling through everything with its slow - inching rot . faster , still , for shepard , grey and lifeless , little more than a slab of meat – hardly humanity’s savior , the way she is now . failure is unacceptable . it will not be a lack of resources , credits , or wit that fails this mission , it will be time , and her patience runs thin with this wicked salarian .
representative . the upper corner of her lip curls , a wolf crawling behind the white cut of her teeth . ❝
minimal , yes . but we were lucky to receive commander shepard’s body so quickly – before decomposition could really set in .
❞ her tone holds a careful edge ,
almost daring for him to question the weight of her authority .
❝
we’ve already begun scans of the commander’s organs . as far as we can tell , the brain can be saved , as well as the heart and lungs . we’re less certain about the other organs . whole areas of skin will need to be replaced .
❞
her arms cross , and she leans away from the table , tilting her head toward the cadaver , mealy and ashen atop cold metal .
❝
but my question is : is the body itself salvageable ?❞
the subject change is abrupt , but not entirely uncommon . a placid , blank expression results – the arch of a slender eyebrow , the slight sneer of her lips . if this is intended as flattery , she remains unmoved .
❝ yes , i know .
❞
curt , giving nothing , holding everything .
❝
all you need to know is i’m heading this operation . do you need more information than that , dr . ieys ?❞
- she’s 5′10″ – i’m ignoring the heels bioware insisted on in her character design, but her boots do give her an extra few inches – she usually stands at 6′0″ - her only somewhat good outfit is the dlc armor. the catsuit in fights? NOT realistic. this is the closest example of what she wears while out on missions. - her senses are all perfect. eyesight, hearing, etc. and she doesn’t go smell - blind quickly, which is … Not Great, given how often she’s around dead bodies. as a side effect, she’s also somewhat more sensitive to touch. ergo, catch her only wearing soft things because they’re comfortable. - she has no moles or freckles of any kind. ‘blemishes’ like these were definitely ones her father ensured wouldn’t occur. - her scarring from various injuries is minimal. it takes a severe injury to leave a long - lasting scar on her. minor cuts and bruises will close up in as quickly as 24 hours, and don’t leave any marks. gashes, larger bruises, etc. might take a few days, and the scarring left behind fades after a few weeks. - she has a few distinct, major scars. post - suicide mission, she has a large burn on her lower right abdomen from a particle beam shot by a collector. - physically, it takes a lot more to wear her down. she can go longer without sleep than other humans without suffering from the accompanied problems that come with sleeplessness. hypothetically, she could also survive longer without food or water than most humans assuming she doesn’t use her biotics. she doesn’t tire easily, capable of enduring extended periods of physical strain without becoming exhausted – such as extended firefights, or longer missions.
- physically, she’s faster and stronger than most humans. this strength and speed is amplified by her personal training. her reflexes are also much sharper. - because of her biotics, however, her metabolism runs very quickly. she does eat more, and frequently, to remain at peak efficiency. - she’s considered a very strong biotic by human standards. while she might not be at the same level as, say, an asari matriarch, her abilities are nevertheless incredibly impressive. - hate the repetitive ass - shots and implausibility of her physical proportions in game. miranda is definitely curvy, but much of her curve comes from muscle. her legs and arms are especially toned. her abdomen is a little softer, but there is clear definition there as well. she isn’t overly bulky, leaner than she is broad, but she’s also clearly fit.
