It was easy to forget—at least for Ryder—the sheer size of the Initiative’s arks. Without trams and elevators, it was a slow, unsettling slog through a ship sixteen football fields long containing two arkholds that were almost three football fields tall apiece. Plus each of those arkholds held thirty decks apiece. Ryder got tired just thinking about it.
The dim standby lighting and the kett equipment scattered through the eerily empty corridors didn’t help it be less creepy, either. Another thing that didn’t help was the unease building up in her gut at not having heard from Thaia and Cora for the entire trip from arkhold to arkhold. Ryder and her team had finished their morning PT-like group run and drawn to a collective halt at the entrance to the cryobay containing the pods for Jeks Arlan and Vadim Escondar and still nothing.
“We should’ve heard from Armali by now,” Ryder said as they walked through the doorway into the sterile, empty medical bay lit only by emergency lights. “What if they’re dead?”
Drack shrugged. “Archon would’ve been bragging already. They’re fine.”
“That doesn’t help me feel better.”
“I dunno,” Peebee said, checking over equipment covered like it would have been during transit, labels and seals indicating an intact stasis state. “I think he has a pretty good point. Whenever the Archon gets one over on us, he doesn’t really keep it to himself.”

Roman mosaics are renowned for their intricate designs and enduring beauty, often depicting various motifs that reflect the cultural and artistic sensibilities of the time. Among these motifs, the depiction of birds holds particular significance in Roman art. Birds were commonly featured in Roman mosaics for their symbolic meanings, which varied depending on the species portrayed. The birds motif in Roman mosaics served both decorative and symbolic purposes, enriching the visual appeal of the artwork while conveying deeper layers of meaning to the viewer.
In Roman art, birds were frequently associated with themes of freedom, transcendence, and divine communication. Depictions of birds such as doves, eagles, and peacocks symbolized different aspects of Roman society and belief systems. For example, doves were often associated with peace and love, while eagles were emblematic of power and authority, often representing the Roman state and its military prowess. Peacocks, with their vibrant plumage, were symbols of immortality and resurrection in Roman mythology, associated with deities such as Juno and Hera.

“We’re in, Kallo,” Ryder said as Liam, the last of the team through, began securing the maintenance airlock hatch behind them. “Let us know if the Verakan does anything weird.”
“Like firing those big guns,” said Liam.
“I think you would know before we would,” said Kallo.
Once the hatch was shut, the airlock started depressurization. The group crowded inside—Ryder, Jaal, Drack, Peebee, Liam, and Vetra—were crammed shoulder to shoulder. The fit was tight enough that Ryder’s chest rose and fell with a bit of a struggle. She double checked the oxygen levels in her armor: normal. So, just a touch of claustrophobia caused by one bulky krogan taking up a full third of the airlock, a tall turian taking up another quarter, a broad-shouldered human male, an even more broad-shouldered angaran male, an average-sized human female, and the thankfully small Peebee.
Vetra was the first to comment. “We’d be doing this in two groups if Peebee wasn’t a—what does Sara call you?—a peanut for an asari.”
“Being pint-sized has its advantages,” Peebee said, grinning as she peeked out the airlock’s inner hatch window into the vestibule beyond. “But don’t forget flexibility. We could probably fit the other two in here in a pinch. Keep an open mind. Wanna know what I heard? The—”

The Big D just dropped this and I have to share. This is one of my favorites from Gestureland.
Is he the best singer ever? Not by a long shot. But he can write a hell of a song and he puts his soul into everything he creates. That makes it all perfectly imperfect.
