Hello all, BlackBox here once again.

Let me tell you all about my "boat".

This originally was a personal cruiser, that mom and I....appropriated....from the Asari High Council. I forget which member we took it from.......I think it was Matriarch Kiria......Kirana......something like that. Anyways, I took a shine to the thing....it was just so beautiful, so mom let me keep it. First things first though, we had to get it altered so the Asari wouldn't come looking for her. Thankfully my aunt knew some people who specialized in such things. She blended the Asari design and tech with a mixture of Alliance and Cerberus ones, turning the once simple, elegant cruiser into a state-of-the-art stealth ship, sleek in its design, but truly a work of art. Mom gave it to me on my twenty-first birthday, and together we gave this beauty a name.......The Amaterasu.

Problem was.....people in our line of work can't afford to have a crew, even for a ship like mine. Fortunately, Aunt M helped find me a solution. Without further ado, may I introduce my crew: Suki, Nami, and Rei. Take it away Suki.

Good morning. I am Tsukiyomi or Suki for short. I am in charge of the Amaterasu's navigation systems. The other two member of the crew are Izanami and, well.....Rei. Izanami is in charge of both maintenance and weapons systems, while Rei handles most other basic systems along with whatever Black needs. 

The ship itself has all the basic amenities: cockpit, kitchen, captain's quarters, engine room, break room, a small cargo bay, and two guest quarters.

Enough about that, they wanna hear about the claws and fangs this baby has. Izanami here, or as BB calls me....Nami. This girl has enough to make opponents want to not pick a fight with us. The dual-salvaged cannons from a Cerberus cruiser packs quite the punch, able to bore a hole through most small vessels. A small bank of ship-to-ship Achilles-Missiles are used to deliver an Biotic-EMP punch to the engines of most vessels, leaving them dead in the water. Don't let these other two "princesses" fool you, I do all the heavy lifting on the ship. I keep things running smoothly.

Hush now Nami. You always get too worked up about the little things. 

Keep out of this Rei!

Can we get on with the tour?

Sorry Suki.

*Grumbles* Fine.

Thank you. Rei? You were saying?

Thanks Suki. *clears throat* Hello everyone. I am called Rei. I am the....well.....I guess the closest thing would be to call me the concierge of the Amaterasu. I help him manage his database, and keeping things in order aboard the ship. There's also something you all should know about the three of us.

Rei! Are you sure this wise Rei?

I think they should know. Sir? May I tell them our secret?

........go ahead. It'd come out sooner or later.

We are all something akin to an AI, designed to think and adapt to the situations presented to us. A tiny bit of Reaper code was implanted in our pathways giving us free will, giving us the freedom to choose what to do with our existence. The Captain and his mother rescued us from an Alliance Void Facility. We are all very grateful to them for that, hence why we serve aboard the ship, but he doesn't "order" us, he asks.....politely. He's quite the gentleman like that.

Tell them about his crush!

(Hits mute button quickly) Um......*cough*. Ignore that last bit.....about the crush....please? I don't want her finding out....at least not yet. Well that's about it for my boat, I don't want to give away all her surprises just yet, but we hope you all found this fun and informative. Say goodbye ladies. Later. Now get out of my engine room. Farewell. It was a pleasure to speak to you all. 

-Transmission Ended-
Here it is (sorry it took me a tad longer to put together). I wanted to make sure I designed the ship properly. I hope you all enjoy!

BlackBox, Rei, Suki, and Nami all belong to me. (as does the Amaterasu)
Elements from Mass Effect belong to Bioware.
