Random testrun, possible Mass Effect 2 spoilers, haven't played ME3 yet

[After moving in, Mordin is attempting to set up a new lab in whatever game he's been sent to.]

Primitive technology. Nothing resembling standard omni-tool interface. No high resolution scanners. No synthesizer.

[sigh]

Will have to make do.

[Things went poorly recently last time you were working with Mordin, especially for the Salarian himself. Some sort of disastrous adventure and personal tragedy. You were going to go cheer him up, but he seems in oddly high spirits.]

Ah, hello. How can I help?

[Mordin seems nervous, though its hard to tell.]

Glad I caught you. Something about past you should know. Need to clear the air.

Sounds like a brane hybrid system then. Element... zero? What is that? Are we talking... [He paces a little, running a hand over his hair thoughtfully.]

A pure neutron-gluon mass maybe? No wait, I wanna say... I wanna to say that dark matter has to be involved somewhere. Yeah... Maybe a form of radiation-strained dark matter just after symmetrical reversion. Christ, no WONDER you don't need that much. The energy output there would be incredible...

[Maybe there IS intelligent life on this planet after all, right Mordin?]

[very_model_of]

Perhaps. Don't know the details. Theoretical physics not my specialty.

[He smirks over at the salarian and gives him a companionable whap on the shoulder before making his way towards the door.]

I'll let you work. Let me know if you need any help finding anything. Oh, and if you find yourself in the optical relay chamber, watch out; I've got it calibrated for a Cherenkov bombardment test on some anemoi later on... come to think of it you miiiight wanna just stay out of that wing of the labs to be on the safe side.

[The smile he gives in response to the whap seems to imply that he's thinking "We are engaging in human male bonding rituals, ergo I must respond with friendly body language, as is culturally expected of me."]

Good to know. Will avoid optical relay chamber for time being.

Hmm, would be interesting to see how cherenkov radiation could be created with this level of technology.

[trustycrowbar]

I told you; creativity. Let's just say there's a reason there aren't any microwaves anywhere in the building right now. [He follows that up with a brief, triumphant grin and ducks out of the room.]
