Kerr'Shal scratched the top of his mask in confusion, looking from one stranger to another. The human woman looked vaguely familiar, though he couldn't quite place her. Just what the hell was going on here?

"I am beginning to think that, yes, this is some kind of a joke," he said to the krogan. A few swift taps on his omni-tool brought up his primary bank account. The number was unchanged; the enormous advance he'd received was still there. Unless he'd been hacked somehow, of course..... Kerr'Shal brought up the Armax Arsenal online store and ordered a few thermal clips for delivery. The transaction went through without a hitch; no warning that his account had been compromised, or that he didn't have sufficient funds for the purchase. The numbers on his account changed in accordance with the purchase. Everything checked out.

"Well if it is a joke, I really do not see where the punch line is," Kerr'Shal said, looking up from his omni-tool. He was still quite confused, but as long as that was real money in his account he wasn't going to walk away. "I am Kerr'Shal nar Lysin. And the rest of you are?"
