Exploration involves science, and seems much more likely to be in the thick of events.

I don't know if the Citadel Council still has their AI ban. However, should they try to take our Cyber Elves and Biometals from us, they can pry them from our cold dead hands!

[X] Neo Eurasia, the newest colony that the Guardian Republic has, and a rather exciting posting, all things considered. But, that excitement probably won't last forever, though you know nothing of that yet. (A Soldier's Path)

You are saying that as if FTL was easy or anything, we dont know the conceptual status of high level physics in that universe, but if eezo travel has been used for so much time, there has to be either some really high requirements for the discovery of different types of FTL or no other possibilities.
I mean, they've had macroscale teleportation since, what, OG Megaman era? X era, at the latest? That requires arguably as much physics bullshittery as FTL, especially for it to be as reliable as it is by ZX.

Teleportation is technically FTL, but requires that there be an exit point on another planet. Especially since ZX Era Teleportation uses Cyberspace to do it. There are lighyearspanning teleportation networks, but they're expensive to set up, and, to an extent, expensive to use.
Edit: Discussion is good. I appreciate when you guys do this
Edit 2: Teleportation existed since OG Megaman. It became safe for humans sometime around the Zero Era.
Human teleportation has been a thing since MM4, when Protoman teleports in with Kalinka, and Wily teleports in after them.
Or are the negative effects of teleportation long term?

(Disclaimer: I don't know Military Stuff all too well. Please forgive any errors here.)
"-The GRS Swiftsure, for our posting aboard as junior officers." You say, smiling happily at your friend. The satellite elf, though it was a disservice to the exquisite "design" behind her creation to call her a simple satellite elf, bobbed up and down happily.
"Yep!" Elvie chirped, "I'm hoping we run into some exciting things on the expedition. Though I'm unsure why everything in the file was classified to hell and back."
You hum in agreement, and the two of you resume your brisk yet leisurely pace towards the docks that the GRS Swiftsure was moored at in the Innerpeace Naval Station, various other servicemen and women saluting the two of you as you pass.
Before long, you've arrived at the docks, and, with a quick biometric check, you're through the checkpoint set up by the ships' marines. Being a relatively small vessel, it's no surprise to you that when you step on board, you're immediately intercepted by another crew member, who brings you up to another deck.
"Best to meet the Captain before going anywhere, lassies." The male reploid says, smiling at you and Elvie, "Commander Hannah Shepard likes to know her crew, especially her bridge crew."
Your eyes widen, "Wait, we're both being assigned to a bridge posting?" you say, barely noticing Elvie freeze in surprise as well.
The jovial reploid shrugged, "Captain's orders. Haven't been given access to your academy scores, so I can't personally say if it's politics or merit." Pausing, the reploid turned around and began walking towards the elevator, clearly expecting you to follow him, "Regardless of the circumstances, I suppose I should introduce myself. The name's Girouette. I generally use the full name, as respect to the man who bore this name before me."
You nod. As someone who knew the history of the world in quite a lot of detail, mostly due to your mother, you know that Girouette was the adoptive father of the Chosen Aile, who, to this day, protected the Guardian Republic in her own way.
"It's nice to meet you, Girouette!" Elvie replies as your thoughts wander, "I'm Elvie, and this is my best friend, Ella," you wave as Elvie introduces you, the Mother Elf's daughter spinning in place as she floats, "I hope we can get along!"
Girouette gives the cyber elf a small smile before he turns serious once more. "If you could join me in the elevator, ladies."
Both you and Elvie share a look, before nodding, stepping into the elevator with Girouette. As you ascend towards the bridge of the Swiftsure, you attempt to calm the nerves that have been building since Girouette told you Captain Hannah Shepard wanted to meet with you.
You're somewhat successful, and it's with a smile that you step off the elevator, confidently striding towards the figure at the center of the bridge and CIC, Elvie following behind you at a much more sedate pace.
[Ella, Good Luck] Model Z Communicated through your Biolink.
[Thank you, Zero.] You replied, [I'll do my best.]
Finally, you stand in front of the Captain, saluting and standing at attention.
"Ensign Ella Nuage reporting for duty, Commander Shepard." You say, holding the salute while Elvie introduces herself, her small form saluting the Commander as well.
"At ease, Ensign Nuage, Ensign Elvie." Commander Shepard replied, the woman studying both of us briefly, before nodding to herself. "Welcome onboard the GRS Swiftsure, one of the Guardian Republic's newest Stealth Capable Pathfinder Frigates." Pausing, she took a look around, "You're the last members of the crew to board, mostly due to the fact that you both were reassigned here at my request. You were supposed to be assigned to the GRS Light."
You gasp at the admission, before frowning briefly. While you'll miss the opportunity that being assigned to a dreadnought would give you, you figure there's a reason you got assigned to a Pathfinder ship.
"Ensign Elvie, Ensign Nuage, both of your scores in the academy impressed a lot of people. Both your grasp on scientific fields, along with Ensign Nuage's rather impressive combat scores led me to requisition you for this special mission." Pausing for dramatic effect, the good Commander continued,
[] "We're not alone in the universe. We've been notified of alien probes in the Arcadia System, and our job is to track their civilization down."
[] "We're being deployed to secure a Prothean Ruin that the GRS Jervis found. It's the most intact ruin we've found so far, thus, we're not moving a flotilla there till we've secured the ground. Raider Presence was detected in a nearby system, hence the stealth."
Your eyes widen, and, with a firm nod, you ask, "What's to be Elvie and I's role, Commander?"
[] "Our Designated Pathfinders." (Similar to a ME:A Pathfinder, your job primarily revolves around Exploration and Xenobiology.)
[] "You'll be attached to our Marines, Ensign." (Basically Pathfinder Option, without the responsibilities attached to it. Easy mode, if you will.)
[] "You'll be leading our Science Team on their expedition. Be warned, they're not happy about your youth, but you're the only military scientist we could get onboard in time." (Pure Science option. You'll start with a team that isn't exactly happy to see you.)

I'd rather be an actual Pathfinder than a scientist.

Let's get a look at the Beacon before Saren f**ks it up (hopefully).
