He sat down in the chair, taking a datapad from the table. "Thank you. I like to keep things orderly. If one cannot maintain order in their own home, what hope have they of maintaining order in their mind?" He gave a chittering chuckle. "Now then, if you are comfortable we can begin." He tapped on the device, opening a blank file to take notes on. "Anything you say here will of course be strictly confidential, regardless of what it may be. Nothing said here leaves this room." He leaned back and nodded to her reassuringly, "Perhaps we should start with an overview. How have you been feeling lately? Noticed any changes in your behavior or the way others respond to you?"

"*hssk* Not really. Well maybe- you could say I got scammed by someone into doing some things- *hssk* A lot of things really, for nothing in return." Not quite the truth, but it would do for now. "*hssk* Aside from that, just the usual things. Work being dead boring, love life being even deader, no new games coming out soon. All that." Thinking about the second half of the question, Druss idly looked at the ceiling, as much as she could manage to that is. "*hssk* I mean it's pretty usual for everyone around me too. *hssk* Nod to any fellow vol I see, get ignored by all other aliens in a crowd. *hssk* Heh, height."

"Hmm, I see." He tapped out something on his datapad. "You say your work is boring? Do you not feel occupied enough or are the tasks mainly tedious? A lot of stress can be accumulated through inactivity, especially with the particularly adventurous or intelligent." He thought for a second, "Height is an issue many volus I have met struggle with. You don't ever feel lesser because of it, do you?"

"*hssk* Uh, well I mean it does kinda get to me sometimes. Like people look down on me. Like, not just literally. *hssk* And work is just sitting around. *hssk* It's security at a skycar dealership, so it's not like anything ever happens aside from *hssk* The rare tuchanka-clan threatening someone over a complaint they had." The height issue had been a frequent problem for Druss, who thought on it and kept talking a few seconds after she had finished her response. "*hssk* The migrant-clan too, they just piss me the fuck off. *hssk* We invent and keep the galactic economy running and we get to be the butt joke of society- *hssk* And they invent an army of killer robots and get kicked off their home because they're *hssk* Too stupid to fight a war, and what do they get?" Giving a half second, Druss would again respond to her sudden outburst before the collector had a chance to. ""*hssk* Right! They get sympathy and attention just because their females have giant asses and *hssk* they act all shy and shit. But they're just the same as vorcha in suits, garbage." Finally done with her brief rant, Druss let out a sigh, still looking up at the bare ceiling.

He seemed to shift a little, taking interest in her sudden attack on quarians. He tapped more notes out as he spoke, "It is never a good idea to judge an entire race. Surelly you can relate to quarians on some level. Like you they are locked inside a suit for most of their lives. I admit that their suits are more... Revealing so to speak, which does garner attention from the more hormonal species. However that doesn't make you any less beautiful or any less important. But this hatred can't just be from poor customers. Have you been wronged by quarians before?"

"*hssk* Oh yeah! At bars, mostly. Doesn't matter who I'm talking to, soon as some brain-dead clanless female gets in sight, *hssk* Well there goes my luck and whoever I was talking to. *hssk* Stupid pee'ka." Punching the backrest of the couch, Druss looks back over to the collector breifly, then back at the ceiling. "*hssk* Oh, and I bet you're gonna just ask about the clanless for the rest of this, huh? *hssk* Wanna get me to like them to huh? Just like you and everyone else? *hssk* Yeah, that'll make me better won't it?" Rapidly punching the couch several more times after, the collector would likely pick up on the sarcastic tone in Druss' previous statement.

"Not at all. All matters shall be addressed equally. Lets return to your job for now." Another few taps, "So it is safe to say you don't feel challenged enough? You must be quite effective, as turians and krogan are the more common hires for such a job, and many are being replaced entirely with.... Synthetics." He spat the last word out. "All of which can be found in surplus and therefore far cheaper in the aftermath of the war. The fact that you hold your position is a testament to your ability, isn't it?"

"*hssk* I think the owner just likes hiring his fellow vol sometimes, but that's not the worst part- *hssk* It's like, imagine you're obsolete now. Like, you won't get hired just because of who you are. *hssk* Since a tuchanka or palaven-clan could do what you do but better. But what they do is what you get a kick out of doing. *hssk* I mean . . . *hssk* I act tough but it hurts. I guess I know I'll never compare so I just fake it. *hssk* And that ain't no psych pee'ka either, that's just a fact. They'd kick my ass any day, guarantee it."

"And what is it you enjoy exactly? Action? A sense of duty? Holding up ideals? What would be your perfect job?" The entire session was becoming rather awkward, considering that he had refused to lower the hood, and made sure to keep his body covered. It wasn't exactly inspiring a feeling of trust or confidence.

Druss had started to feel weird around the creature, sitting up, the discomfort obvious as she changed from her relaxed position. "*hssk* Well I mean being a spectre? . . . " She quietly waited for the inevitable laughter she expected as she uttered the words, unsure if trusting this thing was smart after all.

"A bold aspiration. You know, I don't usually do job counseling but in this case, it seems to overlap with your mental health. Have you considered c-sec? They are always in need of new detectives, and specters don't have to be combat elites, salarian specters tend to focus more on data gathering."

"*hssk* No but- well I mean why would they? *hssk* Who's gonna be intimidated by a vol cop? . . . *hssk* Guess that means I can zap them if they don't listen, heh heh."

"Exactly! You shouldn't view your size as a limitation. Look at it as a different perspective on life. A more challenging one perhaps, but no less rewarding or unpredictable. Think of it as playing life on 'hard mode' as you will. It just means your victory is all the more earned." He chuckled, "Besides, C-Sec is in desperate need of officers who aren't openly intimidating. The usual Turian and human patrols they have tend to terrify citizens, while you would seem far more approachable in comparison, though no less dangerous."

"*hssk* And more likely to be kicked over. Look I get where you're going but- . . . *hssk* heh heh, assaulting an officer." Punching the air enthusiastically, the collector might note that Druss' mood on her future had taken a turn . . . of course he might have also picked up on her more violent tendencies. Well, one obstacle at a time.

He had indeed noted her hostility, a textbook case of what humans called a 'Napoleon complex'. Overly hostile and aggressive due to resentment or the illusion of being seen as lesser due to her size. "I was thinking more along the lines of you earning the respect and admiration of others. People look up to benevolent authority, and as a c-sec officer you will have plenty of opportunities to make a major difference in the lives of others." He leaned back, "From what I can tell, you seem to suffer from serieous self doubt. However, rather than hating yourself, you put your self criticisms into the mouths of others. As such you have become somewhat bitter and defensive, because you believe everyone looks down on you. I think that a career or hobby that made you feel accomplished in some way would greatly bolster your self image. Once that is achieved, you should start to feel far more valued and appreciated."
