Phalanx slowly nodded in response to the Spectre, silently listening as it turned it's lamphead to look at the human Ellis Taevon, processing the information given curiously. "Your explanation would not notify her of the important decision given by Anderson-Spectre and Partinax-Spectre. It is likely she is another recruit. Chance of a passerby willingly come into unsteady structure full of grime without a valid purpose a minimum. However, I will re-calibrate further explanations." The Geth platform spoke, calibrating this acquired information into its systems. It appeared organics did not wish for 85% of the information when asked the question 'What happened?' Mhm interesting.
Watching as heat signatures seemed to rise a little within the human, the Geth tilted its head curiously about to question on the well being of the organic before Phalanx's head was pulled closer to the Asari. Whom also seemed displeased with the long winded information. "Specify. Is it not important for possible new comrade to be informed of their possible new comrades?" it asked, genuinely confused. Although Vella "Calisto" Calixten Ophelia now seemed intrigued with the Female Turian Unit and Ellis Taevon, her grip tightening around this platform's head. Phalanx's flashlight head sorta tilted between the two, not particularly understanding the situation that the Asari was so intrigued about.
"Vella "Calisto" Calixten Ophelia, for what purpose do you continue to clutch onto this platform?" Phalanx asked, not particularly bothered by the situation. As long as she didn't try to shoot it again. But it couldn't read a reason for the action. This position didn't particularly detain the Geth unit from further action or anything. Plus, due to the fact of the Asari's hostility from earlier, it didn't make too much logical sense why the blue fleshy creature would willingly get this close to the synthetic lifeform. Organics were such a mystery.
However it seemed its words went on deaf ears as the Asari continued.... with whatever she was doing.
Turning its head slightly to glance at the second Creator, calling himself Rol’Naaris vas Vaepal, classing himself as a strategist and a sniper. Seemed there was a few members who had sniper experience. The Creator also made the consensus of joining the Spectre crew. Making him the eighth member to join in this expedition. However, it wasn't long until another joined the crew, one hidden until revealing himself. A male Drell calling himself Gilvert Somner, a explosives expert. The reptile-like organic spoke about a different side of himself called the artist. Phalanx had little information of what this could mean. Speaking of artistic painting, sculpting, photography, pottery, calligraphy, and other such types of art did not seem to fit in what someone should be wary of. Although, the Geth could recall some terms that would seem a bit disturbing that some organics called 'art' but Phalanx had little to go on having little knowledge of this newcomer.
It was then, Ja'Far Balak came to the Geth's assistance and pried off the Asari while explaining that basically she should leave the Female Turian Unit and Ellis Taevon alone. The Baltarian then nodded to the synthetic, placing a hand upon this platform's shoulder plate as he spoke to it. Phalanx tilting its head slightly, curious over this development as it listened to words that left the organic's mouth.
"Affirmative, this program has designated itself with the name, Phalanx." The synthetic lifeform replied, the metal flaps raising in a alert fashion ever so slightly, shaking barely as 'friendship' was mentioned once more. It appeared Phalanx had a positive reaction for that particular word and its synonyms.
"Affirmative. This platform is built for accuracy and infiltration, and been programed using a sniper rifle as my main firearm." Phalanx said, head flaps returning flat against the platform, before upholstering its sniper pulse rifle from its back, the keychain jingling slightly at the sudden movement, and held it in its arms for better inspection. "This model is the Geth Pulse Sniper Rifle Mark X. It was designed by myself and 2,445 other Geth programs. Some Creators on Rannoch have started selling some models in the last half a year." it explained before pausing at Ja'Far Balak's question of the reason Phalanx had decided to leave Geth space. It was a valid question, considering it was extremely rare to see a Geth platform, fully operational, outside of Rannoch. Despite reaching a peace with organics and a sense of individuality, most its kind is content where they are.
Processing a proper response, taking in consideration that organics did not quite enjoy long explanations. It answered a couple of seconds later then it usually would. "Main objective is to study organic behavior, social and emotional patterns. Unlike many programs, I find them fascinating. I also made calculations that since Shepard-Commander's and Legion's actions, Geth systems are short circuiting with what organics define as 'emotion'. This is new to the Geth, most do not react, many programs finding it a flaw within organic code. However, organics have proven to defy logic and statistics stacked against them with the assistance of these 'emotions' despite historic repeat behavior of illogical actions thanks to these. So I am researching it, while attempting to strengthen organic and synthetic relationships. Many organics believe none of this 'emotion' makes a 'monster'. I do not know if I classify as a monster or not. However, I also witnessed these... short circuits within my system. Further research is needed to pursue understanding of this short circuiting." the Geth explained.
"I look foreword in experiencing this adventure as comrades with you and the others." Phalanx chirped. The Geth program had a lot to learn when it came to proper organic socialization, but it was putting forth the effort to attempt to learn more with physical experience. Several programs may find its actions illogical, but it seemed like it was necessary to achieve true peace with the organics of the galaxy. So far, it at least could identify two of these 'emotions' which was its unending curiosity and confusion. It was a lot, considering Phalanx had only been interacting with organics for a year, and most of the time they weren't interested in actually socializing. Prior to the Old Machines defeat, the last time Phalanx had interaction with a organic was back during the Geth War.
Turning to the human Spectre as he explained their mission and assigned positions. Logging the information in, Phalanx was the first to pipe up when asked if anyone had any questions. "Specify priority if situation becomes critical. Protect possible civilians or detain/shoot hostile units?" the synthetic lifeform asked. It could already calculate the answer and doubted the situation will get to that critical point, however it wanted to listen to answer from the Spectre themselves.
