Alien, to say the least.

The food, at least, was good. These are not standard military rations, but they are closer to what Rupert managed to make when he was given proper ingredients. It was a meat of some kind, glazed in a unique sauce of some sort that Shepard couldn't tell what it was, but it was a fair bit salty. Nothing too wrong though, the vegetables (at least Shepard assume those green things are vegetables) are similarly salty, but sweeter overall. Considering this was the first time the commander had Asari food on the world, she assumed they liked salty. Shepard believed Liara liked it as well, but she couldn't remember. Either way, whatever the stuff was, it went well with this drink the Asari had given to Shepard. Its flavor seemed to be squished under a lot of cream of some kind, something the others didn't have. When Shepard pressed, they explained it was more traditional for others to drink it with cream, as it was heavily bitter—a fact confirmed when some of the others winced as they had their stuff.

The conversation, however... took a turn to the properly lewd. The Asari were bragging about people they'd laid with or talking about potential mates they wanted to. It was... a bit of a shock to Shepard. Liara had said the Asari weren't this lewd. The others explained that she had been... well, nervous and likely trying to get in her pants. Shepard knew the latter, and the former made sense. Liara was still a fresh maiden then. And while this talk was frowned upon outside the room, the Asari were a species that thrived on such mating, as it connected them with others. It helped them get to know others through the connections they made during it. And while it was a shock to the Commander, she tuned it out the best she could.

This, however, was made all the more challenging due to the smell in the room. It had been there before, but it was getting stronger and stronger. Shepard didn't recognize it, but it was... earthy? Natural? Shepard swore that it seemed to be familiar to her, but she couldn't place it. It wasn't helping her body was starting to feel a bit hot from all the beautiful women around her with their breasts out around her. But Shepard wasn't some young teen who'd never been laid before; she shouldn't be getting like this. What the hell was going on with her that was causing...

Someone got out of the bath. Shepard heard it but turned towards the noise to see-
