"Reminder; don't tell Jack that we somehow got Miranda into something beyond a jumpsuit." Chakwas noted to Peacekeeper, who stared at the doctor. "Acknowledged." It replied.
Somehow, someone within the facility, whether it was Kaidan or someone else convinced Miranda to switch into a Black Alliance long-sleeves shirt and grey sweatpants. Valeria was wearing the same thing she wore on Horizon, as the two were trying to test their 'effectiveness', as they called it. In reality, it was just a way to see if Miranda had somehow regained Speke of her lost biotic strength. They were fighting unarmed, of course.
"Abilities seem to be healing, but nothing on the levels she was before. Probably will check back in a few weeks after they've had their fun." Chakwas replies, Kaidan sitting down with a few Alliance soldiers. Said soldiers were placing bets on who would win.

"So...this is the famed "Dojoville", huh?" Cheryl asked, the Mandalorian known as Velinnea next to her. She was showing the Ex-Cerberus operative the Dojo, assisted by two Alliance guards armed with M-15 Vindicator Assault Rifles.
"What happened here that you remember?" Cheryl asked, somewhat intrigued by the place.
A smile crept up to Vel's face. "Let me tell you a story about the time a giant titan invaded the Dojo..."
--------------------------
Silsia, considering she was unaware of what was happening everywhere, decided to sit on the table and read what seemed to be some sort of datapad, consisting on news from the Citadel and across the galaxy, such as something that happened on Horizon, as well as a dead Blood Pack army on Tuchanka. She was also drinking her coffee while this was happening, of course. She was also reading some old things from the Dojo itself as well. People, data, events, factions...even if there was anything beyond Cerberus and asari tech they could get their hands on. She seemed to not want to be interrupted, considering how she had an experimental weapon on her (the Alliance gave to her as some sort of free gift from Elanus Combine and Omega shippers) known as the [url=http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/axiomroleplaying/images/4/41/Stingrayl.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20131106164053]M-9 Gallion Pistol[/url] armed to her back.

"Your sister? You're telling me that there's two of you?" [b]He raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued[/b]
-
"Yeah...explaining this would take some time...and I personally wouldn't want to talk about it in a public place like here...but yeah, I have a sister. Rescued her from the Eclipse a few years ago." She says, waiting for whatever food/drink was coming.
-
"Interesting to say the least." [b]Sure enough, two glasses of water arrived and the wait did a bow as he placed them down[/b] [i]"I am Leonardo and I will be your waiter. What would you like? "[/i]
-
"Vorrei avere gli spaghetti e polpette di carne con un lato del pane all'aglio, per favore." Miranda had said in Italian, somewhat looking to Noble for his order... [spoiler]She basically asked for spaghetti and meatballs with a side of garlic bread...in Italian. Used a translator for that.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]LOL[/spoiler] 'I'll just have whatever she's having.... " [i]"Of course..".[/i] 'oh and a bottle or red wine. Sangreal, 1944." "[i]Excellent choice sir."[/i] [b]The waiter left and Noble looked at Miranda, surprised [/b] " You speak Italian?"
-
"We used to learn about it. Used to even teach a small bit to my sister before I was sent to Horizon..." she replied, sipping her water. "So...this Dojo...you guys had things WORSE than the Collectors?" She asked.
-
"I wouldn't know. I've only been a member about a week longer than you have."
-
"Right. Silsia...the Asari chick who's with the Eclipse; sent me some history on this place. Lenny Wars on Earth, massive black Titan sludge thing...Ork invasion? Strange things come to here don't they." Miranda had said out loud, eyeing her Omni-tool. [spoiler]The Ork in that was Auto-corrected as Orn. Lmao[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Lol[/spoiler] "It would seem so. Yet it gets worse. At some point in history, earth faces an enemy deemed... Well that's spoilers."
-
"Yeah...Alliance had started researching something called the "Initiatives". We already sent one to Andromeda a few years back, so that leaves us with one to jump to other worlds. Other...universes." Miranda had said, returning from peering at her orange device on her wrist.
-
"Enough about history. Tell me about you."
-
"Fine. My father...used to be a rich guy. Got me anything I wanted, as long as I played the part. This body? He...genetically altered me. He created my sister when I was a teenager; he used genetic material from me and created my sister. I broke her out one night with an old friend of mine, and we've been living normal lives ever since. Cerberus assassinated him after I got Oriana back from Eclipse mercs with Commander Shepard." She responded, sighing heavily at the beginning.
-
"Well I meant something along the lines of your favourite color but." [b]He said this jokingly, trying to cheer her up[/b]
-
"Eh, it's alright. We're fine now. Favorite color? I'd say I don't know." She responds, a light smile on her face.
-
"If it makes you feel any better. I used to run with a squad. We went on a suicide mission and I'm the lone survivor."
-
"We went on a suicide mission too. Only ones who died were some colonists and the Collectors." She responds, somehow thinking about how she pulled someone out of the pods...
-
"As for my favorite color. Based on my armour I'm sure you can tell. Grey. Most neutral color there is."
-
She smiled. "Wait, where's our food? For once, I'm actually hungry."
-
[b]Noble looked around, raising his hand. Soon after, the food arrived with the bottle of wine.[/b]
-
"Thank goodness. Thought I'd have to resort to going to Tuchanka and just letting the Krogan make the food for me." Miranda had whispered to Noble.
-
[b]He laughed a little bit too loudly, with a few of the patrons staring He calmed down and apologize to Miranda for embarrassing her [/b]
-
She chuckled. "It's alright. Plus, last time I checked, hanar are only good at flipping burgers. Had one over once at one of Oriana's parties; never let any drell or hanar try to cook a chicken. Usually ends in said chicken knocking someone in a 2 month coma."
-
"The chicken was... Alive? That's what I'm getting."
-
"Dead. But the hanar thought it was a good idea to speed the rotating thing 500x the speed that it usually did. Wanted to impress "the Enkindlers" he had said...too bad it ended with the hanar nearly embarrassing himself in front of Illium's finest." Miranda responds.
-
"Ah.." [b]Noble sipped some of the wine[/b] "I once knew a guy like that. Always trying to impose or impress others."
