I noticed other new arrivals asking after their friends. While I could do that, my friends are generally difficult to miss. The Krogan ones especially.

The welcoming party and I had a bit of a go and that landed me nowhere. Sooo I figure maybe someone can help a poor guy out and show him where he can crash? Maybe even find something to eat that won't kill him?

That last one might be a little much to ask for.

Yes- that's normal, right? I know there are ebooks and similar, but I prefer the actual thing. [ he likes to touch the pages and the cover, and feel the weight and be able to smell them. ]

I'm sorry to hear that. It's a bit humbling, though, to know there is so much out there.

[Nerd.]

It's not as normal where I am from. Not anymore anyway. For collectors or lovers of vintage things, maybe.

[Space? Humbling? Yeah, Garrus can probably agree to that. Just when you think you're getting used to being dropped onto planets and nothing can surprise you... It does. So many unexpected things can happen.]

It is, but at the same time? Can't complain about some of the views.

[ excuse u ]

That's a bit sad to hear. I prefer to have the physical copy myself... [ he really is nerdy mcnerd ] But I can imagine electronic books are much easier to get and keep. [ he says that because he's already running out of space to keep his ]

And-uhm! I can imagine it must look amazing. You are really lucky.

I think that's just the nature of things. It's easier to use and less wasteful.

[Poor trees or animals or whatever is used to write on. Can't be the same across all cultures, after all.]

Still, I've heard that the "musty old book smell" is a favorite.

[Again, not that he'd know.]

Who knows. Maybe one day you'll experience it yourself.

It's a favorite of mine! [ was. now it just smells really horrible to him because kaneki's life is suffering ]

My world's technology is too far behind for me to do that. Unless I do it here, I guess? I'm not sure if such a thing is possible.

Sometimes technology jumps in leaps and bounds. I mean humans achieved in sending someone to the moon in less than one hundred years from when they made their first plane, right?

You never know.

Hm! That's true. And it doesn't hurt to hope, either.

Hope can be a pretty powerful thing. I've seen it pull an entire galaxy together.
