[It's about fifteen minutes later that Garrus knocks on the door of rover 29, five eggs carefully tucked into his pillowcase for safe travel. He knows full well he's not the most coordinated of people, especially when it comes to walking through snow.
He's got a mostly-intact wing along for the ride - it's not as whole as he was hoping, but a lot of parts have been tossed into the fire already. He'll take what he can get.]
no i mean i'm literally moving! i'm outdoors and being a traffic hazard
[ Idly picking off the petals from a flower she'd pocketed earlier (it's a bit crushed at the moment), Gliese pets Bitr for a good job fetching with a third hand. Buttdial ought to step up. ]
[Buttdial really should. Sometimes Garrus feels like a babysitter in his rover. The pillowcase is a minor topic; Garrus lets it go.]
It stands out.
[He takes a moment, trying to figure out how to phrase this. Talking never really is Garrus' strong point.]
I'm in a place where I don't know the politics or the players, or even the full rules of the game. Something stands out, I want to find out what I can. Maybe it'll be key to understanding more of this galaxy. Maybe it'll instead lead to something else that I can't predict.
Point is, if I don't ask questions, I won't know.
[He has a world and a small-but-growing group of people here to look after. Whatever pieces of this puzzle he can find, he could use.]

It would depend on the question asked.
How many eggs?
And it depends on which part, as well.
no subject
Five eggs. I've kept them warm. Seems to be the thing to do with eggs.
What's the purpose of the statue? What's the power source?
Can I keep and take apart a wing?
[At least now he's got confirmation that the CDC knows more about the statue than they've been telling them, though.]

Some eggs do not need the heat. Please say you haven't been sitting on them.
Both answers have been redacted from our files.
If you find a good one, I could allow it.
Eggs first.
to action? Or are you swamped? No worries if you are.
You've seen me. Of course I'm not sitting on them. Didn't let the cat sit on them either.
Who built the statue?
Where am I bringing the eggs? I'll keep an eye out for a good wing along the way.
action is fine! i'll be slow in a few though, i'm moving (literally)
Rover 029. I appreciate your efforts with the eggs.
Better that you ask in person, Vakarian.
Action! And ooh, awesome. Good luck!

She whistles at Bitr, the more fancy of the cats, and she hops up and around Garrus for the pillowcase until she's relieved the turian of it. ]
Sit with me?
OH! LOL. Well, good luck not running into people then.
Sure.
[He takes a seat, watching the cat with a little interest. Jean's never going to get theirs trained. Ever.]
If I could get the pillowcase back later, I'd appreciate it.
[He can let her get around to things at her pace. He's the one wanting something, after all. Pushing would be stupid.]
thank you
I will try, though it might have holes when I do.
Why are you interested in the statue?
