Huh.
Hmm.
Interesting.
Look at that.
Kaidan Alenko Dialog446 lines
There is definitely a gap between their presentation and what's here. Tracking arrivals must be a nightmare.
There must be millions here. It can't be possible to track everyone coming and going.
Jump Zero was big. But this is a whole 'nother scale. Look at the ward arms. How do they keep all that mass from flying apart?
I doubt it's personal. It's got to be a balancing act, like every other government.
They probably just want to keep everything running. It has to be hard keeping all these cultures working together.
When you put it that way, there's no reason they wouldn't like you.
I mean, us. Humans. Ma'am.
Um, aye, aye, ma'am.
Aye, aye, ma'am!
That'll be enough, Chief.
Ready to move out, sir.
Aye, aye, Commander.
Commander, do you have a minute?
Off the record, I think there's something wrong here.
This Saren is trying to breed an army of krogan. But we can't get backup from the Council?
This Saren is trading people to aliens for some kind of lost knowledge. But we can't get backup from the Council?
This Saren is looking for records on some kind of galactic extinction. But we can't get backup from the Council?
This Saren is looking for a lost mass relay to who-knows-where. But we can't get backup from the Council?
We proved Saren's a traitor. We exposed him to the whole Council! And now they won't even give us proper backup?
Sorry, Commander. There's writing on the wall here, but someone isn't reading it.
I hear ya. I--It just seems like a group that's been around as long as the Council should see this coming.
It's funny. We finally get out here, and the final frontier was already settled.
And the residents don't even seem impressed by the view. Or the dangers.
Yes, ma'am. Sorry to have wasted your time.
I'm right about the mission, though. I know it.
Yeah, I read a lot of those books when I was a kid. Where the hero goes to space to prove himself worthy of a woman he loves. Or, you know. For justice.
Maybe I was a romantic in the beginning. But I thought about it after Brain Camp-- ah, sorry, "Biotic Acclimation and Temperance training."
I'm not looking for "the dream." I just want to do some good. See what's out here.
Sorry if I got too informal. Protocol wasn't a big focus back in BAaT.
None. I'm not questioning the mission. I'm just concerned.
Sorry to have wasted your time, ma'am. It won't happen again.
You won't have to worry about me, Commander.
"Biotic Acclimation and Temperance" didn't last past the airlock. To the kids they hauled in, it was "Brain Camp."
Sorry, "hauled in" is unkind. We were "encouraged to commit to an evaluation of our abilities, so an understanding of biotics could be compiled."
There are worse results of "accidental" exposure to element zero in the womb. Beats the brain tumors some kids grew up with.
There was never any proof of that. It's not what happened in my case, anyway.
My mother was downwind of a transport crash. It was before there were human biotics. A little after the discovery of the Martian ruins.
It only gets iffy around '63 when Conatix was running out of first-gen subjects. Until then, they'd relied on accidentals.
Bunch of guys in suits show up at your door after school. Next thing you know, you're out on Jump Zero.
Out of a hundred? Maybe sixty have no effect. Thirty suffer "adverse effects." Little things like brain cancer.
The other ten show enough ability to augment with implants. Not always permanent, though. Not like the cancer.
Next thing you know, you're out on Jump Zero. How's a kid supposed to deal with that? A station at the edge of human space?
No one "knows." Doesn't mean they didn't happen. As big as the exposures were, it was hard to track down accidentals.
It was different then. No one knew the potential, so there wasn't a lot of regulation. Anything Conatix did was gold.
I'm not saying they intentionally detonated drives over our outposts. But in retrospect, they were damn quick on the scene.
Yeah, that's the official name. Biggest and farthest facility we had for decades. Right on the termination shock, the outer edge of the solar system.
It's where they did all the "goose chase" FTL research. Before we caught on to using mass effect fields.
It was a sterile research platform when I was there.
That's true. We did have a little circle that'd get together every night before lights-out.
We didn't have much to do, though. It was a research platform then, and Conatix kept Jump Zero off the extranet. To prevent leaks.
Yeah. We'd sit around and bull every night after dinner. Play cards or network games.
There was this girl named Rahna who had a little circle grow up around her.
I'm not the sort who does that kind of thing, Commander. Not lightly, anyway.
There was a girl I spent a lot of time with, but we kept our clothes on. Rahna.
She was from Turkey. Her family was very rich. But she was smart, and charming as hell. Beautiful, but not stuck up about it.
Like you, I guess. Ma'am.
I think you'd have liked her.
She was. Maybe she felt the same, but...
Things never fell together. Training. You know.
The grand gateway to humanity looks a lot better in the vids.
Anyway. This was supposed to be a casual debrief, not a bull session about stuff that happened years ago.
Well, you're welcome. Ma'am.
Bad habit, ma'am. I do tend to run off at the mouth. I will work on it for my next review.
I understand, ma'am. I won't let you down.
You make a habit of getting this personal with everyone?
I'll, uh-- I'll need some time to process that, Commander.
But yeah, I'd like that.
But that's my own baggage, Commander. No bearing on this.
I appreciate that, Commander. I just don't want you to think that I'm a-- a whiner.
If you say so, sir.
If you say so, ma'am.
Besides, I've got my past squared away.
Do you have some time to talk now, Commander?
Yes, ma'am. Just had some static on my comm. Got some signals wrong. Won't happen again.
I've been thinking about the Noveria mission. About what we did to the rachni.
I've been thinking about the Feros mission. How the colony ended up failing.
You had to make some tough calls to get us this far. And it looks like there's going to be more.
We've played it pretty close to the book so far. But we're a long way from backup. We've got some tough calls to make.
I'm just saying... try to leave yourself a way out. I've seen what cutting corners can do to someone. And I'd hate to have that happen to you, Shepard.
Commander.
Sorry, ma'am. Maybe I got a bad signal. I mean if you're a-- Maybe there's someone else you'd rather confide in. Ma'am.
Uh, Dr. T'Soni. Ma'am.
There's my answer, then. I'm sorry to have bothered you, Commander. I got some mixed signals.
With your permission, I should return to my duties.
I think she's older than both of us put together. But uh, yeah.
There's a lower-deck rumor that she's, uh, interested in you. As more than a source of Prothean data.
She's a very interesting lady. Not to my, uh, tastes. But I never claimed to be big on alien culture.
It's just that-- We don't have much downtime these days. And I like being around you. But I-- I don't want to take up your personal time.
All right. Only a rumor. But you don't have to spend your off-duty time with me. Not if you don't want to.
Y--Yes, Commander. Just had some static on my comm. Got some signals wrong. It won't happen again.
No issue, Shepard. At least, not when you're around.
You're right. Sorry. It wasn't-- Liara's not my main concern.
I wasn't speaking to you as my commanding officer, ma'am. I don't want to send any bad signals. Just working on what I've picked up.
You tell me if I'm going too far.
I'm not questioning any decision you've made, Shepard. Let me be clear about that.
It's just my experience that once someone lets something slide, it tends to pick up speed. You get my meaning?
Oh, I'm sure it's just the humidity.
I'll try to keep the deck dry.
Sorry. I'm not looking to dump any baggage, Shepard.
You know the records about the biotic training out on Jump Zero? They're all classified. Because the Alliance made mistakes.
After first contact, Conatix was set up to track element zero exposures and develop implants for humans.
Once we had an embassy on the Citadel, Conatix could bring in "experts" instead of taking it slow.
Dead on. Turians, actually. That's why Conatix kept it a secret.
They were afraid of what people back home would think. Asking the turians for help when we'd just fought a war with them.
Yes, but the company didn't go through the Citadel. It would have made Earth look weak. So they discreetly hired some turian mercenaries.
They didn't know where to start. Hell, it took a couple years to even link biotics and eezo.
Forget trying to get the kids to move stuff. They had trouble just helping them not break their own limbs.
And their choice of teachers didn't help much.
Yeah, you could say that. Our instructor was a turian by the name of Commander Vyrnnus.
It wasn't best for us. They brought in an ex-military turian named Commander Vyrnnus.
To introduce himself, he liked to say, "I was at the helm of the dreadnought that killed your father."
I told him my dad wasn't in the war. He'd retired to Vancouver. My family had an inland home that matured to new beachfront.
Vyrnnus had it in for me after that. He cut corners, pushed hard. I mean, you either came out a superman or a wreck. And a lot of kids snapped. A few died.
The point of all this--I guess--is that when you cut corners, it's not always obvious who pays for it.
I'm thirty-two, Shepard. You don't serve as long as I have without coming to terms with yourself.
You also learn that if someone is special to you, you help them. Try to keep them from making mistakes.
I'm saying-- It's probably inevitable that we'll have to. And when that happens, I want to help you.
When someone important to you is up on a ledge, you help them. Keep them from mistakes better made by a kid.
I didn't say you needed it. I said I'm offering it.
I've been getting some signals. Not distress signals, but pretty strong.
I got some signals. Maybe some static too, I guess.
If I'm out of line, just say the word.
I get you, Shepard. I don't make a habit of complicating the chain of command.
Just think about what I said.
A real hardass. He basically had a free pass to break us if it would turn out a decent biotic.
It kind of spiraled from there, Commander.
He got his, yeah. But like everything else at Jump Zero, it was under the table. The less said, the better.
Vyrnnus didn't just push us because it was effective training. He liked it.
Well, I got to where I am because I took initiative. Good or bad, I own that. Pretty much despite Conatix.
Anyway. This is ancient stuff. I walked it off a long time ago.
I should get back to my duties, Commander. We're here to make history, not re-hash it.
No, Commander. Just concerned about the reception of the brass. If things go sour.
I apologize for bringing it up. I know we're getting the job done.
I, um... I-- I don't want to step on anyone else's toes. Especially if you're a-- Uh, if I have misread your interests.
Maybe that's not my place. I don't want to send any bad signals, Commander. Just, uh, working on what I've picked up.
We haven't had time together since our last chat and... a lot was said. When we talked.
Sorry. Not sure where I stand. You seem a bit, uh, distracted. By someone.
I don't want to distract you too much. The deeper we get into this mess, the bigger it seems.
I'm just looking for an ear. The debriefing wasn't the right place to say how ridiculous this is.
Seems like every other race in the galaxy is wrapped up in their own problems. They don't want to see what's coming.
Yeah. I guess some things carry across species well enough.
I should remember that after what happened with Vyrnnus.
We're out here trying to save everyone. We can worry about who's king after the dust settles.
But do we understand theirs any better?
I don't think many of them even want to. A lot of people don't understand that.
Yeah, there are. But there are a lot who aren't like him.
Resentment? Against aliens? I'm not-- What makes you think that?
Before I met Vyrnnus, I knew as much as any other civilian. Aliens were weird, superior, and tried to tell us what to do.
I mean, it's only been 26 years since first contact. That's not a lot of time to understand them.
It was Vyrnnus who made me see how human aliens are. They're not different or special. They're jerks and saints, just like us.
Hell, by the time I got payback, I didn't even want it anymore.
He didn't deser--
He hurt Rahna. Broke her arm.
He hurt a girl. Broke her arm.
She reached for a glass of water instead of pulling it biotically. She just wanted a drink without getting a nosebleed, you know?
Like an idiot, I stood up. Didn't know what I was gonna do. Just something.
And Vyrnnus lost it. Beat the crap out of me. Kept shouting how they should have bombed us back to the stone age. That's when the knife came up.
A military-issue talon. Right in my face.
I cut loose. Full biotic kick, right in the teeth. Almost as strong as I can manage now. At seventeen, that's something.
Maybe my intentions were noble. But I lost control. I killed him, Shepard.
Not as much as it shocked Vyrnnus. It killed him.
It killed him, Shepard.
He didn't have time to hate it. I killed him.
Snapped his neck. They probably could've saved him, if they got him to an infirmary quick enough. But they didn't.
Caused a stir when they shipped him home. BAaT training was shut down. Conatix folded a couple years later.
It's funny. I'm not sure which of us got the worst of what happened.
Rahna? Yeah. Yeah, she was fine. We never really, uh-- We stopped talking after that.
Rahna had a gentle heart. She loved everyone.
Vyrnnus terrified her. We all protected her from him. Everyone who-- E-Everyone who loved her.
But after what I did to him, she was terrified of me, too.
Anyway. This is, um.... Had a point here. Aliens are individuals. Just because one's an ass doesn't mean they all are.
I didn't. Not at the time. I wasn't upset he was dead, but I was sorry that I'd killed him. So I dropped out of sight for a bit.
I'm not upset he's dead. Just sorry I killed him. I wasn't prepared for that. I dropped out of sight for a bit.
They let me go. I guess they wanted it to blow over as much as I did. I came back on my terms, because I wanted to serve.
So yeah, I hated that turian. But he wasn't "a turian" to me. He was Vyrnnus.
I'm no more disciplined than any other biotic, Shepard. This is all ancient history. I'm over it.
That's-- All right. Maybe you have a point. Maybe.
But I'm okay. You don't have to worry about me. Fully functional human being.
I won't be a burden on you. On the crew.
It's just been a while. I don't usually think of much beyond the job.
All right. But it's embarrassing you had to tell me that.
You're right. I might need to loosen up. A little. I'll try.
Shepard, I outgrew the blame game years ago. If the Alliance is missing its chance, it's because of men like Udina. Not the rest of the galaxy holding it back.
We're not doing the galaxy any favors if we try to force our way into a seat at the grown-up table.
They aren't-- malicious. They're just slow to change. My story doesn't get any better if Vyrnnus is a good guy.
Look, Shepard, you're in command and we'll all follow your lead. But don't ream me out for having an opinion.
I thought we respected each other more than that.
I'm here, Shepard. I'm not going anywhere.
Yeah. I think we are. It's too bad we....
It's just too bad. Commander.
Look, I can't deny they've been reluctant to step up. But with everything we've dumped in their laps...
Sometimes you just get overwhelmed. You don't know what to do, so you don't do anything. I know I was paralyzed after Jump Zero.
All right. Maybe it would be better if the Alliance had more pull on the Council. In some ways.
That's a low bar for them to be tripping on.
Maybe we should push for a bigger role when we wrap this up.
You're damned persuasive, Shepard. You should have Ambassador Udina's job.
I hear that. You're something else, you know that?
I've got a few scratches and dents. I hope they just give me character.
I don't think we'll be operating without support for much longer. Pretty soon, not even the Council will be able to ignore what's going on.
Glad you'll be here when it's over, Shepard. I'm, uh... I'm looking forward to some shore leave.
So yeah, maybe I hated that turian. I mean, if one ass was enough to judge a whole race, I'd hate humans too.
Staying reasonable is about all we've got left.
Everyone else in this galaxy seems to have gone out of their minds.
Present company excepted, of course.
Commander, I thought real hard about how to use my talents. When I swore the oath to defend the Alliance, it wasn't on a whim.
If it comes down to it, I am a soldier. I have to believe that my superiors can tell our enemies from people who disagree with us.
If the Alliance is missing its chance, it's because of men like Udina. Not the rest of the galaxy holding us back.
Of course, your opinion is the one that matters. Commander.
Sorry. I have some strong feelings on the subject.
Yes, sir.
Yes, ma'am.
I should return to my duties now. Commander.
This is almost over. The Council won't be able to deny what we've found after this.
Ash backed those salarians to the end. And we still can't get any respect.
We all but served evidence of Saren's intent on a platter. And still we don't get any respect.
If they don't want to do anything, they should get the hell out of our way. It could only improve things if the Alliance was in charge.
What? That isn't what you've been pushing?
Didn't you make an argument for pushing the Council out? That the Alliance should demand its due instead of waiting to be accepted?
That's not what I got out of it.
Did I misread you? Geez, what else have I got wrong?
All right. I don't want to get you wrong. I've got a lot tied up in this mission.
I've got a lot tied up in you.
Shepard, I was gearing up to confront the Council. As an officer, you should keep me in the loop.
As a friend, I'd hope I wouldn't have to remind you of that. Maybe-- maybe I got the message wrong.
Maybe I do, Commander.
It sure feels like it. I'm sorry, I need to take a step back and have a look at this.
I should return to my duties anyway. Commander.
You're always on top of things.
I don't know if it's going to be enough. It's clear they need more people like you.
I hope they'll wake up after you pull their nuts out of the fire.
It's a damn good one. And we're closer than ever, thanks to you.
We're so close now. When we deliver everything, the Council will have to mobilize around us.
It would be a fitting tribute to Ash if we were able to rally everyone together under the Council.
If we could get the Council on our side, this could become a great opportunity for the Alliance.
And you've been at the forefront, all the way from Akuze. I don't think anyone can stop you.
And you've been at the forefront, even back in the Blitz. You'll probably get another Star of Terra out of this.
And you've been at the forefront the whole way. I can see how you made it through Torfan.
We've got the weight of evidence on our side. You'll convince them.
From a Navy brat to lynchpin of the Alliance.
Must be the same quality that kept you going after the raid on your colony.
I can see how you hauled yourself out of the gutters on Earth.
I don't think I've ever met a woman like you.
Please, Commander. You'll make me blush.
I kind of hoped any shore leave would be joint.
Well, ever since I heard the captain's mess gets better food...
No bull, Shepard. I wanna follow through with this. It's tough keeping it separated from duty. But when the mission's complete, it'll be different.
At least, I hope so. Ma'am.
Yes, ma'am!
Glad to hear it, ma'am.
I hope you feel the same. Ma'am.
It'll take care of itself one of these days. Or nights.
Oh, you are good at that.
Shepard, you are hard to step away from.
We'll get this done, Commander. The sooner the better.
Hi, Commander. We're about in the thick of it. I-- I guess I just wanted to say-- Well, it doesn't matter now, I guess.
It's been an honor serving under you, ma'am. I hope we get a chance to shoot the breeze when this is all over.
We haven't had a lot of downtime. Soon, maybe.
Yeah. It always does.
It's nothing, ma'am. Water under the bridge.
They can't do this. Not after everything we've been through. We're not going to take this, are we?
There has to be a way to appeal. The Alliance isn't under their control yet.
And now he expects us to walk away?
I'm sorry, Shepard. I thought you'd like to talk about it.
I'll take a step back.
Fair enough. We'll put this... "fun" on hold.
I'll make sure the crew stands by for orders. If you've got anything up your sleeve, they'll be ready.
Well, I wouldn't blame you. The way they sat back and looked all smug. Like they have clue one about what's going on out there.
Yeah. I can't blame them, though. They've had a thousand years of peace. Who'd want to believe that's over?
So that's it? We just walk away? We let them win and damn us all?
You know you can count on me or any of the crew, Commander.
Cut me a little slack, Shepard. It's not like you're easy to read.
Yeah. I always leave a way out. You know that.
If I can be of any help, let me know.
I hope I'm not out of line saying that.
You looked like you were about ready to go off on the Council. Much as they deserve it, it's good to take a step back.
I'm here for you. But we're in a rough spot, and the last thing I want to do is muddy things.
Like it's all that clear to start with. Are we the pride of the fleet or not? Are we valued agents or just peons?
It's that easy, huh? Okay, then.
Everything will be fine, Shepard. You'll figure it out.
I could get used to it. I guess we have some downtime to figure out what we are, huh?
Oh, so it's back to business after playing me. You're something else, you know?
You have something up your sleeve, Shepard?
What am I saying? When don't you? That's what I-- appreciate about you.
I just need a little practice is all. I think we've got some time.
Finally, a reason to look forward to physical training.
Commander? Are you all right?
I'm sure there's a way to appeal. We're under Alliance authority, after all. Not the Council.
Closed. And we're supposed to accept that?
So, where do you think the best view will be when the Reapers roll through? If we have to sit it out, may as well get a good seat.
It's been a long time since I've met a woman who--
Joker's waiting for you on the bridge.
I swear, though, if anything happens to you...
Take care, Shepard.
Commander?
Yeah. Hell of a thing. We broke our oath to defend the Alliance so we can keep it.
I don't wanna speak out of turn. I mean, I hope we're close enough after everything we've said already.
We're a little past a lot of things.
What happens if this doesn't work out, Shepard? We mutinied. Stole a prototype warship. If they wanted to get technical, they could throw in kidnapping.
And those damned aliens sure love to get technical, don't they?
Preaching to the choir, Shepard. They're walking into the Reapers' claws.
Ours or theirs.
Seems like the Reapers really know how to play on fears.
Fifty thousand years to figure this out and it's down to twenty-five mutineers. Way to go, Team Milky Way.
We're a hell of an example of humanity's best and brightest, huh?
Well, if I didn't think you were doing the right thing, I wouldn't be here.
Fair enough.
Yeah, I doubt the Reapers listen to our propaganda anyway.
It'll really hit the fan when we get to Ilos.
If things don't go well, I want you to know-- Well, I've enjoyed serving under you.
Battlefield flirting is one thing, Shepard. There are regs against fraternization.
Well, I suppose breach of protocol will be pretty far down the list of charges at our courts-martial.
Ouch. I walked right into that, didn't I?
We could get drummed out of the service for fraternization. Of course, we'll probably get the firing squad for mutiny.
I don't know... I mean, the regs against fraternization seem kind of petty now. Taking a stolen ship to face a giant extragalactic war machine...
You know what? You're right. About everything. I think about losing you and I can't stand it.
The galaxy will just keep going. Everything, even the Reapers, will come around again. But you and I, we are important right now.
And this is what will never happen again. Us.
Shepard, you make me feel... human.
You're right, of course. This is too important to risk messing up the team.
I swear, though, if anything happens to you....
Take care, Shepard. If you keep me waiting much longer, it damn well better be the end of the galaxy.
Is that an order, Commander?
Careful, Shepard. I might think you are abusing your authority. A serious breach of protocol.
I'm glad you didn't.
This can't change anything, Shepard. This is a good crew. The finest I've served with. I don't want to mess it up.
Anything you need, Commander?
Is this an official evaluation, Commander? Or off the record?
That's a generous attitude. Okay. I think there's something wrong with all this.
Fair enough. Truth is, there's something wrong with all of this.
Straight up? There's something wrong with all of this.
Well, they know about the stonewalling you've had from the Council.
But you know the Navy Grapevine.
They're on your side. They're pissed about the resistance we're getting. Especially from "our side."
I'll have a better handle on all of it when my head stops hurting. Another L2 flare-up.
No, Commander. It'll settle down.
It's rough sometimes, but they spike higher than a lot of L3s. Except for you, of course.
Besides, I fared a lot better than some after Conatix was through.
No, thanks, Commander. One slip and you can't remember your own name.
The L2's spike higher, anyway. My abilities would drop with pain-free L3's.
And it'd be a cold day before I turn myself over to a Conatix subsidiary.
Yeah, they quietly disappeared. Broke up into a bunch of little corps after they botched the training on Jump Zero.
I didn't figure you'd have time to talk, with all that's going on.
After-action debriefs. What we found out about Sovereign.
There's got to be some xenobiologists who want to read about the Thorian.
I mean, there are reports to file. On the rachni, and on Anoleis.
There's got to be some archaeologists who want a report on the destruction of that ruin.
I won't keep you, then. Commander.
I think they're doing all right.
We're all in for the duration. You can count on everyone to do their duty.
I've wasted enough of your time for now, Commander. We'll have time for personal debriefings later.
It's a little surprising. Given all you've said about the Council races.
I just hope she doesn't compromise our mission.
I hope so, Commander.
I'll do my duty, ma'am. Your private life is none of my business.
I'm not in high school any more, Shepard.
I'm-- disappointed. Sure. But you made your choice. I'll do my duty. Don't worry about that.
Just forget it, okay? Like Pascal said: "The heart has its reasons, which reason cannot know."
No worries, ma'am. I was never much for writing poetry. Limericks, sometimes.
She seems like a nice girl, ma'am. I hope things work out between you two.
Dealing, sir.
Dealing, ma'am.
Sorry for anything I said back there. Adrenaline.
I understand. It's just--
I've served for years, but never lost a soldier under my command. Not to hostile action, anyway.
If you don't mind my asking, how did you deal with the losses on Torfan?
If you don't mind my asking, how did you deal with the losses on Akuze?
If you don't mind my asking, how did you deal with the losses on Elysium?
Yeah, I guess that's all we can do.
I'm in for the duration, Commander. No worries about that.
You're right. I can't let this get to me. Not now, anyway.
Thanks for the advice, sir.
Thanks for the advice, ma'am.
Input? Hell. I don't know.
We're fighting giant machines from outside the galaxy. Should I be afraid of them? Or in awe of them? Anything so old, so intelligent...
I think we're gonna need a bigger boot, Commander.
I hear you, Shepard.
Yes, Commander.
It makes you wonder. Are ants any more aware than we were? Of the giants that walk over their heads?
I'm glad there aren't many aliens like the Thorian. I don't think my stomach could take it.
I keep thinking about the dead. I don't see how we could have done better. I just wish we could have.
No offense. I'm sure you saw worse on Akuze.
Well. I'm sure you saw worse at Torfan.
But you can only save so many, right? You must know that better than me. From Elysium.
It's probably best they abandoned the colony. Who knows what else might be hiding in those ruins?
Besides, that place is all grey and yellow. Depressing place to raise kids.
Hell of a deal you worked out with Jeong, though.
If I ever get a speeding ticket, I want you to be my advocate.
One of my cousins has an agri business. I was thinking of calling him. Maybe he can get some shipments into Feros.
I mean, now that they're cut off from the company.
Killing Saren's-- What was Benezia, anyway? Second-in-command? Advisor? Anyway, it should set him back a bit.
I'm sure Dr. T'Soni's hurting, though. Poor kid. Having to kill her own mom.
I'm sure Dr. T'Soni's hurting, though. Poor kid.
I guess we'll be the ones to tell Dr. T'Soni. That's a hell of a thing to drop on her.
Off the record?
It's probably best you made the call.
If we'd left it to the Council, it'd be tied up in committee for years.
If we'd had the option, I'd as soon have left it to the Council.
We weren't out here during the rachni war. I'm not sure we have any business getting involved.
Dr. T'soni?
She seems nice enough.
Hard to believe she's older than both of us put together.
Seems like a sweet girl. Easy on the eyes.
I mean, if you like the bookish sort.
None, Commander. I prefer adventurous women.
No, Commander. Just art appreciation.
They do say asari are open to that sort of thing. Ma'am.
Only by a few seconds, sir.
I don't see how we could have done things any better. At least not without getting to Eden Prime sooner.
And we were on the scene faster than any other Alliance ship could have been.
I'd like that.
Big place.
That will be enough, Chief.
You, uh, make a habit of getting this personal with everyone?
You had to make some tough calls to get us this far. And it looks like-- Well, looks like there's going to be some more.
I'm just saying... try to leave yourself a way out. I've seen what cutting corners can do, and I'd hate to have that happen to you, Shepard.
I think she's older than both of us put together. But, uh, yeah.
She's a very interesting lady. Not to my, uh, tastes. But, uh, I never claimed to be big on alien culture.
You're right. Sorry. It wasn't, uh-- Liara's not my main concern.
I wasn't speaking to you as my commanding officer, ma'am. I-- I don't want to send any bad signals. Just, uh, working on what I've picked up.
It's just my experience that once someone lets something slide, it tends to pick up speed. Do you get my meaning?
They didn't know where to start. Hell, it took a couple of years to even link biotics and eezo.
Well, I told him my dad wasn't in the war. He'd retired to Vancouver. My family had an inland home that matured to new beachfront.
Kind of spiraled from there, Commander.
Maybe that's not my place. I don't want to send any bad signals, Commander. Just, um, working on what I've picked up.
I cut loose. Full biotic kick, right in the teeth. Almost as strong as I can manage now. At seventeen, that's something.
Maybe my intentions were noble. But I... I lost control. I killed him, Shepard.
Caused a stir when they shipped him home. BAaT training was shut down. Conatix folded a couple of years later.
Anyway. This is, um... Had a point here. Aliens are individuals. Just because one's an ass doesn't mean they all are.
So yeah, I hated that turian. But-- But he wasn't "a turian" to me. He was Vyrnnus.
That's-- A--All right. Maybe you have a point. Maybe.
And I won't be a burden on you. On the crew.
Yeah. I think we are. It's-- It's too bad we...
I've got a few scratches and dents. Hope they just give me character.
Sure feels like it. I'm sorry, I need to take a step back and have a look at this.
I don't know if that's going to be enough. It's clear they need more people like you.
Wow. Must be the same quality that kept you going after the raid on your colony.
Cut me a little slack, Shepard. It's-- It's not like you're easy to read.
What am I saying? When don't you? That's what I lo-- appreciate about you.
It's been a long time since I've met a woman who, uh--
And the galaxy will just keep going. Everything, even the Reapers, will come around again. But you and I, we are important right now.
Take care, Shepard. But if you keep me waiting much longer, it damn well better be the end of the galaxy.
Careful, Shepard. I might think that you're abusing your authority. A serious breach of protocol.
Killing Saren's, uh-- What was Benezia, anyway? Second-in-command? Advisor? Anyway, it should set him back a bit.
If we had the option, I'd as soon have left it to the Council.
Dr. T'Soni?
It's rough sometimes, but they spike higher than a lot of L3s.
Dr. Saleon Without Garrus3 lines
Looks like the good doctor is up to more than cloning organs.
We know what kind of work you do here, doctor.
Garrus won't be happy we killed this guy without him.
Combat Banter 00 Dialog2 lines
Not now, Commander!
Take out those hostiles!
Banter 00 Dialog3 lines
Saren's close now.
We have to hurry!
This will all be over soon.
Banter 01 Dialog1 line
Hope I remember my low-gravity combat training.
Choice Dialog7 lines
You can't sacrifice human lives to save the Council! What have they ever done for us?
This is bigger than humanity. Sovereign's a threat to every organic species in the galaxy!
Exactly! We can't throw away reinforcements trying to save the Council. We have to hold them back until the Citadel arms open up and our fleet can go after Sovereign!
I hope you know what you're doing, Commander.
Sacrifice the Council for the greater good? I sure hope you know what you're doing.
Quick! Open the station's arms. Maybe the fleet can take Sovereign down before he regains control of the station!
See if you can open a communications channel.
Saren2 Dialog2 lines
Looks like Saren got more than he bargained for with those upgrades.
He's dead.
Administrator Anoleis Dialog4 lines
Yeah, of course he is.
Excuse me, his what?
And you didn't think that odd?
Forget him, Commander. If he won't play ball, I'm sure someone else here will.
Banter 00 Dialog2 lines
Looks like a hell of a storm outside.
I like the decor here. Expensive, but tasteful.
Giannaparasini Dialog3 lines
Seems we'd help more people if we did as she asks.
Saren's right hand? She's here?
Commander? Maybe we should tell Liara that her mother's here. Or bring her along. Maybe she can reason with Benezia.
Kairastirling Dialog1 line
Being a cop doesn't give you the right to break the law yourself. You accepted bribe money.
Lorikquiin Dialog2 lines
The Board is investigating Anoleis. They'll be more angry at him than at you.
It does sound like something that you'd find on an extranet fetish site.... What?
Mallenecalis Dialog1 line
What's your interest in Binary Helix? They do genetics work.
Rafaelvargas Dialog1 line
Yeah, I'll keep that in mind.
Trig02 Maeko Greet Dialog3 lines
Aren't we all?
We going to let them do this, Commander?
Aye aye, Commander.
Trig09 Maeko Post Garage Dialog1 line
If I were to guess, Benezia packed them in the shipping containers she arrived with.
Trig12 Garage Ambush Dialog1 line
Guess we know what the Matriarch had in the crates.
Banter 00 Dialog4 lines
A bit nippy.
Wish we could pop off some incendiaries.
I think I've got snow in my boots.
Mom was right. I should've brought a sweater.
Ice Hmf Mira Dialog1 line
Turn off the heat, and hope the cold puts whatever you've unleashed to sleep. Nice.
Trig01 Krogan Sniper Dialog1 line
Sniper! Everyone down!
Trig03 Sentry Face Dialog1 line
They want to keep their people in as much as they want to keep others out.
Trig04 Mira Off Dialog2 lines
A backup power system, Commander. Must be for the station mainframe.
We could probably get it back online.
Trig05 Airvents1 Dialog2 lines
What was that?
Animals? Wind? This place is in bad shape.
Trig06 Mira Welcome Dialog1 line
We'll need to get main power back.
Trig09 Coolant Clue Dialog1 line
The He3 fuel line's cut.
Trig13 Salarian Suicide Dialog2 lines
He killed himself because he was part of whatever happened here?
He must have felt there was no hope of surviving. That killing himself would be easier.
Trig15 Krogan Decon Dialog2 lines
They're locked in.
That door could be finessed. Looks like the trams to the subsidiary stations are beyond it.
Trig19 Rachni Encounter Dialog1 line
What the hell were those?
Hanolar Dialog1 line
What?
Julethventralis Dialog1 line
She was a commando in Benezia's service. A squad of geth were with her.
Matriarch Dialog1 line
Knowing the relay's location isn't enough. We need to know where to go from there.
Rachniqueen Dialog4 lines
Makes sense. A baby left alone in a closet until he's sixteen won't be sane.
Commander. Those tanks on her enclosure? They're acid. Strong enough to dissolve any living creature. They must have installed them for a reason.
Commander, there's some old grudges in the galaxy. Grudges humans should stay out of. If we kill her, we kill the entire race.
Commander. Genocide is way beyond the scope of our mandate here.
Talinsomaai Dialog1 line
Let me guess. Saren, the Spectre?
Trig04 Lab Ambush Dialog1 line
What the hell?
Trig10 Lab Exit Dialog1 line
Commander. Looks like that asari "doctor" killed the guard.
Mira Dialog2 lines
Who would have those codes?
It's always a good idea to RTFM, ma'am.
Tartakovsky Dialog1 line
She must be at Rift Station, Commander.
Sal Captainkirrahe Dialog19 lines
We are the reinforcements.
So what have you found?
Really? I didn't think krogan could breed in large numbers.
Looks like things are a bit of mess.
No, I've just got a bad feeling about this place.
You want us to go in on foot? We don't have enough men.
I volunteer, Commander.
He's right, Commander. We can't do this without both teams at their best. I volunteer.
With all due respect, Gunnery Chief, it's not your place to decide.
Aye, aye, Commander!
We'll be fine. You'll see.
Don't worry, we'll see you on the other side.
Well, this is it. Don't do anything foolish while I'm gone, Ash. That goes for you too, Commander.
Yeah, I just... good luck.
It's just weird, going under someone else's command. I've got so used to working with you... all of you.
I know. I, ah... I just wanted to say it's been an honor serving with you, Commander.
You bet, Commander.
Hooah, Commander!
Look. Kirrahe's going to say something.
Trig Wrex Killed Dialog8 lines
Commander. Are you... all right?
What happened?
Damn. I knew he was angry; I just didn't think he'd lose his life over it.
Yeah. I suppose.
Uh, yeah... I guess so. What happened?
Ah... sure, whatever you say.
What the... did you just kill him, Chief?
Yeah, but... I just can't believe it.
Trigger Dialog7 lines
There's the artillery that's keeping the Normandy at bay.
There's got to be a way to shut that thing down.
Got an alarm hub or something over there, Commander. Might take the heat off.
Got an alarm hub, Commander. Might come in handy if things go south on us.
We need to shut down the alarms!
Ready to move out, Commander.
That's the last one. We should be able to reach the salarian camp.
Banter 00 Dialog1 line
Sun, surf, sand... and geth. I bet they don't put that in the brochure.
Captainupdate Dialog6 lines
Fire is coordinated on Mannovai team. We can't reach the geth turrets. They're out of range!
Aircraft heading to perimeter stations to recharge. Bunker up before they come back!
We're getting pounded! Bunker up before the aircraft return!
Captain Kirrahe's down! Aegohr, form up with Jaeto. Hold that line!
Holding ground. Jaeto, around me. Shadow team must be getting close.
On your order, Commander.
Trigger Dialog3 lines
A geth flyer. Looks like it's refueling.
We should take it out before it can go after Chief Williams and the others.
Wonder why the geth were protecting that outpost?
Banter 00 Dialog2 lines
We eliminate this base and Saren's going to feel it!
We need to wipe this whole base out!
Sal Psyrana Dialog2 lines
You helped him and you don't even know why?
You enjoyed that.
Slv Fanatic01 Dialog1 line
Something's not right here, Commander.
Slv Mindless01 Dialog5 lines
Why did Saren do this? To steal a man's mind like that is disgusting.
All right, Commander, but I don't like it.
You sure, Commander? They might hurt themselves.
Just mow them down, Commander?
No threat here, Commander. Are they even aware of us?
Sovereign Dialog9 lines
This console is shot. Orders, Commander?
I get the feeling something bad is about to happen.
What is that? Some kind of VI interface?
I don't think this is a VI...
The Protheans vanished 50,000 years ago. You couldn't have been there. It's impossible!
Cycle? What cycle?
They're harvesting us! Letting us advance to the level they need, then wiping us out!
Commander! Are you okay?
Commander, look over here. It's another beacon. Like the one on Eden Prime.
Trigger Dialog11 lines
We've got access to base security. Should be able to cut the alarms from here. Might even be able to trigger alarms on the far side of the base.
It'll clear the guards out for us, but they might be too much for Williams and the salarians to handle.
Aye, aye, Commander. I hope Williams is ready for this.
Salarians? The captain said something about losing some men.
This has to be more of that indoctrination we've heard about, Commander. What is this place?
The captain was flanked. Aegohr, form up with Jaeto. We need to stall for time!
Krogan reinforcements! Jaeto, hold your ground! We're being flanked!
Okay... hold them here. Fill those holes! Come on, Shepard. Make it soon.
This must be where they're researching the cure for the genophage.
The geth are turning! Shepard must be nearing the target. Jaeto, keep them here! Circle around and....
Commander. As long as we keep stragglers from spreading the word to additional teams, we should be able to handle things.
Kaidan Alenko Dialog5 lines
Go, Commander. I'll be fine here.
Hurry! Williams won't be able to hold out forever.
Don't worry about me. Just go.
You've got to get to the AA tower before it's too late.
There's no time. Go get Ash!
Saren Dialog7 lines
Commander, you need to set the nuke and get out. We can't hold...
Left flank, left flank! Suppressing fire! Suppress--
Commander, you need to move fast. We can't hold these things off much longer.
Watch the corners! Suppressing fire!
This thing's ticking, Commander. We don't have a lot of time.
We're all clear on this end, but that nuke's set to go. We don't have much time.
That's the order I was waiting for!
Trigger Dialog12 lines
Good work on that gun, Commander. We're beginning our assault on the other one.
That's the gun. We need to clear those geth and get the charges set.
The charges are set and ready. Everybody get low and keep your head down!
Aye, aye, Commander.
Bomb is in position, we're all set he--
Commander, do you read me?
Negative, Commander. The geth have us pinned down on the AA tower. We've taken heavy casualties. Captain Kirrahe's dead!
Negative, Commander. The geth have us pinned down on the AA tower. We've taken heavy casualties.
We'll never make the rendezvous point in time.
Negative. It's too hot! You can't risk it. We'll hold them off as long as we--
It's okay, Commander. I need a couple of minutes to finish arming the bomb. Go get them and meet me back here.
Negative! Just make sure that nuke is set. We'll hold them as long as we--
Trig02 Base Fallback Dialog2 lines
The Chief's right. In this terrain, we might be able to sneak into their flank.
I don't think we can take that strongpoint head-on.
Asariscientist Dialog2 lines
Hold on, Commander. Her mother is working with Saren. Can we trust her?
Any idea how we get out of this place?
Banter 00 Dialog2 lines
At least it's a dry heat.
Hell of a place.
Party Comment1 Dialog1 line
Long way down.
Party Comment2 Dialog1 line
The tiles in those holes remind me of a bathroom floor.
Trig02 Mining Laser Dialog1 line
Looks like this could be reactivated. It was probably too expensive to pull out.
Trig04 Elevator Ride Dialog2 lines
Saren's looking for the Conduit. You're a Prothean expert. He probably wants you to help him find it.
Not much margin for error.
Banter 00 Dialog3 lines
This city is too quiet.
I wonder how many lived here?
Feel like I'm walking over a grave.
Trig Door00 Dialog4 lines
We have to get inside this bunker before Saren finds the Conduit!
There's no way we're getting past that door with brute force.
Saren found some way to open it. There must be some kind of security override somewhere in this complex.
We'll have to find some way to get it up and running again.
Trig Door01 Dialog1 line
Looks like we've got power. Now we just have to find the security override.
Trig Door03 Dialog1 line
Who votes we take the vehicle into the creepy, underground bunker?
Armatures Active Dialog3 lines
Those armatures out there look like they're up and running again.
When we disengaged the lockdown, the automated defense system must have kicked in and reactivated them.
This might work to our advantage. If the Prothean defense programs are controlling them, the armatures might actually see the geth as invaders.
Security System Done Dialog3 lines
Come on. Saren's already got a headstart. We have to go find him before he reaches the Conduit.
Unless he's already found it. Then we're just walking into a trap.
That's a chance we'll have to take.
Security System Start Dialog3 lines
This place still has power. It must be running off its own generator.
I bet this is the command center for the entire complex. Saren's troops must have sealed the doors from here after he went inside.
We'll have to figure out how to disengage the security lockdown if we ever want to get inside that bunker.
Trig A Dialog2 lines
What is this? Some kind of defense bunker?
Probably. The Protheans could have used this elevator to deploy reinforcements to protect the rest of the complex.
Trig Armature Dialog3 lines
What do you think the geth are doing with those armatures?
Looks like they hooked them into the Prothean maintenance bays to make repairs. The security lockdown must have deactivated them.
I just hope they don't suddenly become active again.
Trig Bc Dialog3 lines
That thing wasn't flashing before. What's going on?
It must have activated when we disengaged the security lockdown. Looks like some kind of operations pod.
The Protheans probably used it to control the automated defenses.
Trig D Dialog2 lines
It's a massacre out there! The armatures are wiping out the geth!
They're being controlled by the station's automated defense programs. They're attacking anything that isn't Prothean. If we go out there they'll attack us too.
Watcher Dialog5 lines
Hold on... something's happening.
Sounds like some kind of message. But I don't recognize the language.
It's probably in Prothean. This recording must be 50,000 years old. No wonder we can't understand it.
Incredible! The Cipher must have transferred an understanding of the Prothean language into your mind.
What's it saying? Can you make out anything useful?
Trig A Dialog2 lines
Hey! Try to remember why we're here. Saren, the Conduit, the fate of the entire known galaxy?
I thought Saren would have set some kind of trap or ambush for us. They must have been in too much of a hurry.
Trig B Dialog5 lines
What are all those things on the wall? Some kind of containers?
They look like stasis pods. The Protheans probably tried to keep themselves alive through cryogenic freezing.
Something must have gone wrong, though. This bunker became their tomb. The pods are dead... and so is anyone inside.
All of them? There must be hundreds of those pods.
What was Saren expecting to find here? There's nothing left but corpses.
Trig C Dialog3 lines
I don't think Saren's behind this.
What's happening?
It's a trap! Saren must have set an ambush!
Watcher Dialog7 lines
Looks like some kind of VI program. Pretty badly damaged.
Wait a minute. How come I can understand you? Why aren't you speaking the Prothean language?
The Conduit's not a weapon. It's a back door onto the Citadel!
There were hundreds of stasis pods out there! You just shut them down? You killed them?
I bet they didn't tell the "non-essential" staff about this contingency.
Wait. Where's the Citadel's master control unit? I've never heard of anything like that.
Nothing's happening. Downloading that data file must have burned the system out.
Conduit Crash Dialog1 line
Hang on. Things are going to get a little rough!
Conduit Dialog2 lines
There! The Conduit! It's incredible!
We don't have time to admire the view. We have to get through that relay... and these geth aren't going to make it easy on us.
Cutscene Oculon Approach Dialog2 lines
The Ascension. Flagship of the Citadel fleet.
Good thing it's on our side, then.
Jeff “Joker” Moreau Dialog5 lines
Nihlus gave you a compliment... so you hate him?
You're paranoid. The Council helped fund this project. They have a right to send someone to keep an eye on their investment.
Sorry, Commander.
I can't possibly imagine why.
Only when he's talking to you, Joker.
Kaiden Dialog31 lines
Yeah, you never get used to seeing dead civilians. Doesn't seem right, somehow. But at least you stopped Saren from wiping out the whole colony.
Maybe you're right. Things went bad. Real bad. I still can't believe we lost Jenkins.
I know that. But I don't have to like it.
I was there. You did everything right. It was just bad luck.
You probably don't want to keep the captain waiting, Commander.
Joker's waiting for you on the bridge.
Commander. I'm glad to see you're okay. Losing Jenkins was hard on the crew. And I'm glad we didn't lose you, too.
We're marines. We stick together. I'm just sorry we lost Jenkins.
It's been a hell of a shakedown cruise. Our first mission ends with one Spectre killing another.
The Citadel Council's not gonna be happy about that. Probably use it to lever more concessions out of the Alliance.
Yeah. A lot of biotics are. We're not restricted, but we sure don't go undocumented. May as well get a paycheck for it.
Besides, my father served. Made him proud when I enlisted. Eventually. But is that why you're here? Because of your family?
Ah, that's right. Akuze. I imagine that bought you any post in the fleet.
Ah, that's right. The Blitz. I imagine that bought you any post in the fleet.
Ah, that's right. Torfan. Messy business. I imagine that bought you any post in the fleet.
That how you got here? I heard about Akuze. I bet you had your pick of posts after that.
Is that how you got here? I heard about the Skyllian Blitz. I bet you had your pick of posts after that.
I heard about Torfan. I bet you had your pick of posts after that.
Word is we're heading for the Citadel, ma'am. Can you tell me why?
Makes sense. They'd probably like to know he's not working for them anymore.
Yes, ma'am. Sorry.
Understood, ma'am.
Whatever happens, we'll be ready. Commander.
Five by five, ma'am. Is there anything else before we head ashore?
Absolutely, Commander. Anything else before we head ashore?
An ambassador? I'd just follow standard operational procedure. Salute anything you can't eat or kill.
Good luck, ma'am.
Aye, aye ma'am.
Some of the crew could use it. Commander
Sure thing, Commander.
Glad to see you're okay, Commander.
Landing Bay Dialog1 line
What about survivors, Captain?
Oculon Approach Dialog4 lines
It's my fault. I must have triggered some kind of security field when I approached it. You had to push me out of the way.
The beacon exploded. A system overload, maybe. The blast knocked you cold. Williams and I had to carry you back here to the ship.
Aye, aye, Captain. I'll be in the mess if you need me.
Doctor? Doctor Chakwas? I think she's waking up.
Caleston Done Dialog5 lines
What did Saren want with you? Do you know something about the Conduit?
You sure look good for your age. Uh... I mean... you don't look that old.
Not to mention your little run-in with Sovereign. I'd call that definitive proof.
This isn't helping us find Saren. Or the Conduit.
When was the last time you ate? Or slept? Dr. Chakwas should take a look at you.
Confrontation Dialog18 lines
I can't help but feel a little sorry for her.
A heart's a complex thing, Shepard. Yeah, I could blame you for indecision. But you think I've never been pulled in two directions?
Rejection hurts the strong as much as it hurts the weak. I'm glad you're still here, Shepard.
Look, I'm not really comfortable discussing this here in the com room. You know where to find me when you're ready to talk.
Dr. T'soni? Commander? We need to talk. The three of us.
I'm not trying to make anyone uncomfortable. I'm just trying to figure out where I stand.
I'm not jealous. I'm confused. I thought we had something, ma'am. I-- I didn't realize you were a-- Well, that you prefer other women.
Yeah, but you look-- All right. Shepard, make a choice. If you're not serious about me-- It'll hurt, but I'll get over it. But until you tell me, I can't get over it.
What about Liara? Is she "special," too?
Stop. You can't keep dancing around this, Shepard. Make a choice. Her or me.
I'll be fine, Commander. We're just friends. I understand.
No. Sorry, Shepard. I mean, if I'd known-- Well. Maybe we just aren't right for each other.
I hope things work out for you two.
I've got a lot of work to do, Commander. Mission reports. That kind of thing. You know how it is.
Commander? We need to talk. You, me and Liara.
Look, I'm not really comfortable discussing this here in the comm room. You know where to find me when you're ready to talk.
Dr. T'Soni? Commander? We need to talk. The three of us.
I'm not jealous. I'm confused, and I thought we had something, ma'am. I-- I didn't realize that you were a-- Well, that you prefer other women.
Empty Locker Dialog1 line
Well, I guess you'd better go, then.
Feros Done Dialog3 lines
Did you see anything?
Are you okay, Commander? You look a little pale.
We still have another lead, Commander. That asari scientist in the Artemis Tau cluster. The Matriarch's daughter. She's an expert on the Protheans. Maybe she knows something.
Ilos Approach Dialog4 lines
We'll never make it in time on foot. Get us something closer!
Twenty meters? We'll never get in close enough for a drop.
Find another landing zone!
It's not an option! It's a suicide run! We don't--
Noveria Done Dialog1 line
The commander's right. We can't rush off blind. We need more to go on.
Virmire Approach Dialog1 line
Check out those defense towers.
Virmire Done Dialog11 lines
I... I can't believe Ash didn't make it. How could we just leave her down there?
But why me? Why not her?
I know. And I am grateful. But Ash died because of me. Because of us.
I'm sorry, Commander. You saved my life. I'm grateful for that. But if I'd done my job-- We should have been able to save her.
But if I'd done my job, you wouldn't have had to make that call.
Yes, ma'am. I'm-- We'll get it done.
Yes, sir. I'm-- We'll get it done.
What about that beacon? The one in the base? Did it give you another vision? Did it show you where the Conduit is?
Both our lives. I don't know how you did it, Commander. The Alliance'll come up with a whole new medal for what you pulled off here.
We might have tried, Commander. But I don't think either one of us could have pulled this off.
Anyone else, I'd say they got lucky.
Ash Dialog4 lines
The geth haven't been seen outside the Veil in nearly 200 years. Why are they here now?
She knows the area, Commander. And we could use the extra firepower.
Staff Lieutenant Kaidan Alenko. Glad to have you on the team.
If you saw this guy, you'd know. Carries enough firepower to wipe out a whole platoon. Luckily, he's on our side.
Banter 00 Dialog4 lines
Smells like smoke and death.
Eden Prime will never be the same again.
Check your targets. Could be friendlies.
We should move, Commander
Banter 01 Dialog2 lines
That man was still alive when they stuck him on the spike.
Classic psychological warfare. They're using terror as a weapon.
Banter 02 Dialog1 line
Now we know what those spikes are for: turning our own dead against us.
Dragonsteeth Dialog1 line
Now we know what those spikes are for: turning our own dead against us.
Headscientist Dialog2 lines
That's impossible. Nihlus was with us on the Normandy before the attack. He couldn't have been here.
That might've been a little extreme, Commander.
M Scientist02 Dialog1 line
That was a little extreme, Commander.
Spikedfarmer Dialog2 lines
That man was still alive when they stuck him on the spike.
Classic psychological warfare. They're using terror as a weapon.
Trig02 A River Approach Dialog2 lines
What the hell are those?
Freaky looking things, aren't they?
Trig06 C Cresting Ridge Dialog1 line
Looks like the geth beat us to it.
Trig08 Nihlus Dialog1 line
Sounds like Nihlus already knew the beacon wasn't here.
Trigger 01 Outside Ship Dialog1 line
Ship perimeter secure, Commander!
Trigger 02 B Gasbag Dialog1 line
Damn!
Trigger 04 Captain Dead Dialog3 lines
Aye, aye, sir.
Aye, aye, ma'am.
Ripped right through his shields. Never had a chance.
Trigger 08 Probe Dialog1 line
By who? Our side? Or the geth?
Trigger 09 Shed01 Dialog1 line
It's a good place for an ambush. Keep your guard up.
Trigger 10 Shed02 Dialog1 line
Might be survivors hiding inside. I think I can hack into the system and override the lock.
Husk Trigger Dialog2 lines
Oh, god! They're still alive!
I don't think those spikes are geth technology...
Notice Beacon Dialog1 line
What is that? Off in the distance.
Powell Dialog3 lines
He's a Spectre. He was with us on the Nor--
Wait a minute. You were hiding behind the crates before the attack?
Commander. It's Nihlus.
Sovereign Dialog2 lines
That must be where the geth ship landed.
Or anyone else's.
Trigger Charges Dialog1 line
Demolition charges! The geth must have planted them.
On The Move Dialog1 line
Where is everybody?
Triggers Dialog4 lines
According to these data logs, the survey team unearthed some kind of alien technology.
Guess we should head to the excavation site then.
I've heard of this. Machine cultists. They unearth some kind of alien technology, and it turns them into mindless fanatics.
Whatever they found, it's long gone now.
Data Module Dialog4 lines
This is the surveillance drone. But where's the data module?
Over there! That monkey-looking thing has it!
Guess we're doing this the hard way.
No weapons! We could damage the data module!
Triggers Dialog4 lines
Over there! Don't let the geth catch him!
He dropped the data module!
It's a miracle the data module's still intact. Joker can transmit this info to Alliance Command.
Remind me to stay on your good side, Commander.
Comatose Dialog6 lines
Looks like that machine is keeping him alive.
No brain activity. He's dead. This body is nothing but an empty shell.
Aye, aye, Commander.
Your call, Commander. But maybe we should wait until we know more about what's going on before we do anything.
Understood, Commander. But he deserves better than this.
You did the right thing, Commander.
Trig Bodies Dialog1 line
My god. What happened here?
Triggers Dialog5 lines
Looks like the ship's deserted.
Someone must have shut down all systems except basic life support.
Somebody set that trap. This whole place could be wired.
Did you hear that? Sounded like footsteps.
Watch out!
Mariedurand Dialog1 line
We've seen this before. It's a long story.
Trig01 Supplies Dialog5 lines
Commander, you see this? They just received a supply run two days ago. The rachni worked fast.
Hang on. Seems these things are drones, dispatched at irregular intervals from different depots. To reduce the likelihood of tracking.
Got it. It came from Argos Rho.
Aye, aye, Commander.
Whoever programmed that freighter didn't take any pains to scrub or alter their data.
Datalog Dialog3 lines
Experiments on the rachni. Failed containment. Didn't we just leave this party?
Cerberus. Damn. We should have known.
Cerberus? Is that a corporation?
Sp108 Diplomat Dialog3 lines
Wait... You wanted your sister dead?
Obviously.
Nice family.
Biotic Dialog2 lines
I'm an L2, like you. Trust me. The commander can make sure that Burns follows through.
People have heard. You've already accomplished that. You don't need to die for it.
Trap Dialog1 line
We've got to get in there before they execute the chairman!
Engine Triggers Dialog4 lines
That's all of the engines, Commander. Let's put this rock back on course.
We've got control of thruster alpha.
We've got control of thruster beta.
We've got control of thruster gamma.
Party Triggers Dialog8 lines
Noise coming from that door, Commander. Could be one of the engineering staff.
We've got fourty-five minutes to do this, Commander.
Half hour to the red line, Commander.
We've got fifteen minutes to get control of the engines, Commander.
Ten minutes, Commander. We better get this done.
Five minutes, Commander. Time to be a hero.
Two minutes to the red line, Commander.
One minute warning, Commander! We've got to go!
Triggers Dialog6 lines
Strange. I thought one of these outposts would be the main base of operations for this incursion.
Hold on. This receiver's picking up some kind of transmission. Based on the signal strength, I'd say it's coming from inside this star cluster.
It must be a message from the primary geth base. We can use the signal to lock onto its location and take them out!
One down, three to go.
We're halfway to driving these synthetic bastards out of this system.
One more outpost left. The sooner we get rid of it, the sooner this cluster's secure.
Triggers Dialog6 lines
The logs show this ship was exploring near the Perseus Veil. Looks like they found some kind of alien artifact.
They brought it on board and then... this makes no sense, Commander. They plotted a course straight into the Perseus Veil. Like they wanted the geth to find them.
The entries don't make a lot of sense after that. It's like the captain's mind was falling apart. It doesn't say anything about how they got back into our territory.
Husks. The ship's probably crawling with them.
Not much chance we'll find any survivors.
The geth turned them into husks and left the ship where someone would find it. Trying to show us what happens to anyone who goes into the Veil.
Triggers Dialog5 lines
Where is everybody?
I've got a bad feeling about this...
Damn it. The entire colony must have been... transformed.
These logs place the blame for this on a group called Cerberus, whoever they are.
Cerberus. Should've known they were behind this.
Distress Call Dialog3 lines
There's the downed ship. This must be the place.
Careful, Commander. I've got a bad feeling about this.
Geth! It's a trap!
Gate Dialog2 lines
I don't see any way in. We should just leave them alone.
I bet we can hack the door open.
Major Kyle Dialog1 line
Joker can have the Fifth Fleet pick Major Kyle up. I just hope you know what you're doing, Commander.
Standoff Dialog1 line
Commander Shepard was there! She knows the truth.
Mastermind Dialog2 lines
That was a detonator, Commander.
What do we do now, Commander?
Trig01 Mine Dialog4 lines
Mineshaft. That's the source of the signal.
I don't like this, Commander.
I agree. This thing didn't crash. Somebody moved it here.
Aye, aye.
Trigger Dialog1 line
These are Admiral Kahoku's men. We need to tell him what happened here.
Triggers Dialog5 lines
Looks like Cerberus has other bases on this world, Commander.
I wonder what kind of genetic mutants Cerberus has been cooking up at the next base.
Damn. It's the admiral.
Cerberus must have tracked him down.
One last stop to make, Commander. We owe Kahoku that much.
Sp Follower Interject Dialog42 lines
Not too bad. No headaches worth mentioning lately. Maybe I'm getting used to the strain.
Thanks, Liara. I'd appreciate that. Makes me wonder what it would have been like to have asari tutors instead of turians.
My headaches can be pretty bad, and I'm one of the lucky L2 implants. The L3's are safer.
I've always held back a little when I used my powers on living targets. Fear of hurting someone, I guess.
After what I saw on Eden Prime, I'm not holding back any more. Not against the geth, not against anyone.
Hearing about the Protheans makes me wonder if some distant civilization is going to find our artifacts someday and study us.
I hope so, Williams, but I'll bet the Protheans thought the same thing.
I'm not afraid to die. I guess I just want to be remembered by more than a few trinkets in a ruin somewhere.
So, Williams, are you happy you signed on with Commander Shepard?
Well, don't let anybody know. A big gun and a confident attitude will get you through a lot in life.
Those asari commandos are impressive. Lightly armored, but their speed more than makes up for it.
Point taken.
It's politics, Williams. The Council won't raise the alarm until they're certain about the threat.
Well, Garrus, any regrets about leaving Citadel Security?
Well, we don't lack for excitement, that's for sure.
Saren was one of the most respected turians in the galaxy, Garrus. Are you going to be okay going up against him?
Just keep saying that, especially to humans. We've got a lot of angry people right now.
The Normandy isn't built for a stand-up fight. I'd rather rely on the IES than the shields.
I don't know, Garrus. I'd rather not be the first one up the ladder in terms of figuring out new tactics.
I'm surprised you're willing to fight krogan, Wrex. I thought you'd stand with your own.
I haven't spent much time with krogan before, Wrex. I have to say, you're not what I expected.
Whoa! I didn't mean... look, just forget I said anything!
What? Commander Shepard is my superior officer. I can't imagine us ever having to fight.
So, Liara, you've spent fifty years studying Prothean ruins and artifacts?
I think you've spoken for scientists everywhere, Liara.
Liara, if your people don't need implants to use biotics, how come asari don't use biotics more often?
Are you kidding? To have that ability, without implants, and choose not to learn? I'll never understand the asari.
It must be nice to be back in civilization after so long in those Prothean ruins.
When this is all over, you'll be able to go back to your rocks and ruins for as long as you'd like.
I've heard some humans are angry at the quarians after the attack on Eden Prime. After all, you created the geth.
Hopefully having you with us fighting Saren will change people's minds.
Tali, why do you quarians wear those suits all the time? Is it a cultural thing?
Oh. Well, I'll try not to sneeze.
Are you okay, Tali? It looked like you got some dirty looks back there.
Forget them. Anyone that ignorant isn't worth listening to, anyway.
But after what I saw on Eden Prime, I'm not holding back any more. Not against the geth, not against anyone.
I'm not afraid to die. But I guess I just want to be remembered by more than a few trinkets in a ruin somewhere.
Saren was one of the most respected turians in the galaxy, Garrus. You going to be okay going up against him?
I haven't spent much time with krogan before, Wrex, and I have to say, you're not what I expected.
Whoa! I-- I didn't mean... look, just forget I said anything!
Hell, I think you've spoken for scientists everywhere, Liara.
Oh. Well, I'll, uh, try not to sneeze.
News Vid Dialog11 lines
I doubt it. We've made our reports. Now we just have to trust Ambassador Udina.
Saren's one of their best operatives. It's only natural that they'd take his word over ours.
That's politics, Chief.
I just hope it isn't too late. All this time we spent hunting for evidence gave Saren a nice head start.
There's no way the Council can ignore us this time. Saren's days as a Spectre are done.
I don't know. I just hope that whatever's down here is friendly. We've got enough enemies at the moment.
Whatever's down here is Prothean, right? So it has to be on our side, against the Reapers.
Not entirely. They've given us a weapon. They've given us a chance... if we can just get there in time.
So many dead for a plan that accomplished nothing. Saren gets through the Conduit, the Reapers arrive, and the Protheans fail.
Watch yourself out there. Fai Dan said we wouldn't have any cover.
Saren's one of their best operatives. It's only natural they'd take his word over ours.
Asari Companion Dialog1 line
Yeah, well, you wanted to speak with the commander.
Banker Dialog1 line
What's the catch?
Banter 00 Dialog2 lines
Big place.
It sure is peaceful here.
Banter 01 Dialog2 lines
If you're going to make a krogan statue you might as well make it big, right?
You're not really like other krogan, are you, Wrex?
Banter 02 Dialog1 line
Anyone else hear that low hum? Sounds like it's coming from that statue. Makes my teeth tingle.
Chorban Dialog1 line
Don't play dumb. We saw you trying to do something with the keeper.
Chorban Dialog1 line
What guy?
Executor Dialog1 line
You expect us to believe none of your officers are corrupt?
Human Ambassador Dialog1 line
What about her? The quarian?
Samesh Dialog1 line
The 212? Isn't that Ashley's unit? She might want to meet Mr. Bhatia.
Terra Firma Dialog4 lines
It's a good theory, but these people are making it sound like a racial issue.
Of course, Commander.
What happened at the mass relay was a misunderstanding. If you saw a child about to touch a gun, wouldn't you stop them?
So you can say "I support our troops" and get into office because of our sacrifices, huh?
Trig Ai Machine Dialog3 lines
This must be the signal's endpoint. Let's see if we can find out where those stolen credits are being funneled.
That doesn't sound good.
What are you, crazy? It's an AI, like the geth! It would kill us all if it could!
Xeltan Dialog1 line
Actually he did find out on his own. Here, this proves it.
Banter 00 Dialog1 line
Nice to see so many humans working for C-Sec.
Banter 01 Dialog2 lines
You can see half the Citadel from up here.
When you look out and see something this beautiful... well, it really helps you understand what we're fighting to save.
Chellik Dialog3 lines
We were there to help her get out.
Always playing the angles, Detective?
That's it? Just buy the weapons?
Jahleed Dialog3 lines
What about the keeper data? We know about that.
It's a bit late to be thinking about that.
Chorban? That's the guy who asked us to scan the keepers.
Krogan Cutscene Dialog2 lines
Fist knows you're coming. We'll have a better chance if we all work together.
If we get our hands on that evidence, we can prove that Saren's a traitor! The Council will have to listen to us.
Snap Inspection Dialog1 line
Ten-hut!
Urdnot Wrex Dialog1 line
I don't like where this is going.
Assassins Dispatched Dialog2 lines
Those were Saren's men.
I guess we're on the right track.
Banter 00 Dialog3 lines
Too many lights, too much noise.
Not really my kind of place, but there sure are some spectacular views here.
Never been a real fan of crowds.
Banter 01 Dialog1 line
Drinks and dancing down below, gambling up above... good place to blow off some steam.
Banter 02 Dialog3 lines
I wonder where all the dancers went.
I see why this place is so popular. It's got quite the, uh, view.
What? You don't think they're here because of the food?
Black Market Dialog1 line
Change of plans.
Chorban Dialog3 lines
What is this data? Why is it so important?
Quit stalling. Jahleed told us you've been after him.
So, what do you want to do about Jahleed?
Dr. Chloe Michel Dialog2 lines
Apparently he works for someone called Banes. Sound familiar?
Captain Anderson might know him.
Fist Dialog4 lines
He's lying.
I thought the Shadow Broker only worked through agents.
Oh my God!
That quarian is dead if we don't go now!
Fists Guard03 Dialog2 lines
Warehouse workers. All the real guards must be dead.
Shooting people isn't always the answer.
Friendly Security Dialog1 line
Looks like you have a fan.
Garrus Dialog2 lines
Just like Wrex told us, Commander.
What's he doing there?
Jax Dialog2 lines
Yeah, that looks right.
I could shoot someone if it'd make you feel better.
Jenna Dialog1 line
Lovely girl.
Post Harkin Dialog1 line
Maybe it's not true. Harkin's an ass. I bet he's just messing with our heads.
Quarian Dialog1 line
The ambassador's office. It's safe there. He'll want to see this anyway.
Recruit01 Dialog2 lines
Relax, Private, this isn't an inspection.
You never went to see her, did you, Fredricks?
Rita Dialog1 line
You don't sound too happy.
Scenicview Dialog1 line
Big place.
Schells Dialog2 lines
Get a job.
Either you're cheating or you're not.
Septimus Dialog5 lines
So if you feel that way, then why spread lies about her?
I don't think it could hurt.
Why does he think that?
Are you sure, Commander? I don't feel right just leaving him here.
Hard to imagine a general like that getting so upset about a woman.
Trig 02 Jennas Contact Dialog1 line
What was that about?
Trig Ai Conv1 Dialog1 line
I think somebody rigged this machine to funnel credits through the system. Let me trace the signal.
Trig Ai Conv2 Dialog1 line
Looks like whoever it was bounced the signal off a hidden relay. I'll trace the new signal.
Trig Ai Conv3 Dialog1 line
Looks like another relay. As best I can tell, the receiver for the new signal is somewhere on the Presidium.
Trig Choras Dialog1 line
Looks like it's shut down.
Urdnot Wrex Dialog1 line
What was that all about?
Banter 00 Dialog2 lines
I like that fountain. Very soothing.
You sure have to climb a lot of stairs to reach the Council. Think that's supposed to be symbolic of their importance?
Banter 01 Dialog2 lines
This is it: the very heart of the Citadel. The pinnacle of galactic power. Kind of makes your head spin if you think about it too much.
Maybe if they'd listened, we wouldn't be here now.
Captain Dialog3 lines
That's a restricted area patrolled by armed guards. How are you going to get in?
He's not gonna let you waltz into his office and use his computer.
Udina won't let this slide, Captain. You'll be charged with treason, a capital offense.
Garrus Dialog1 line
I think the Council's ready for us, Commander.
Captain Dialog1 line
What about Garrus, that C-Sec investigator? We saw him arguing with the executor.
Council Spectre Induction Dialog1 line
Right behind you, Commander.
Grounded Dialog1 line
You bastard! You're selling us out!
Unc Banter 00 Dialog5 lines
Yes, sir.
Yes, ma'am.
On your order.
Ready to move.
Waiting for orders.
Banter 00 Dialog2 lines
Makeshift defenses. Untrained civilians. It's a miracle anyone's still standing.
These people came here looking for a better life. And look what happened.
Calanthablake Dialog1 line
I can't see anything significant, but something is clearly causing her pain.
Iannewstead Dialog2 lines
He's lost it. We should just leave him be.
Look out!
Machadoyle Dialog1 line
Her discomfort seems very real. These people have been through a lot.
Trig Command Post Dialog4 lines
I wonder what the geth are using this transmitter for?
As long as that transmitter is working, they're going to keep coming!
We've got to destroy that transmitter, Commander!
Damn. I thought they were just going to keep coming.
Trig Skyway Warning Dialog1 line
You think heading out on foot is a good idea?
Trig Valves Dialog3 lines
This valve looks like part of a large system. There are likely others we need to activate as well.
There's another one. Doesn't look like it's been activated yet, though. We should keep looking.
I think we're in business. The water system is back online, Commander.
Trig Wrongway1 Dialog1 line
Commander, I think the tower is back behind us.
Trigger Dialog13 lines
Good view of where we need to go.
Ugh, what's that smell? Geth don't stink like that.
The local predators probably ignored the geth. Can't eat metal.
That should keep Fai Dan and the others safe. After an update we can head out for the main geth encampment.
And now to the geth base. Ready for anything, Commander.
Fai Dan would probably like to know there are other survivors.
What is that? There's no way that's human, infection or not.
You got it, Commander. Let's do this.
Hold on. What about those nerve grenades? Can't we use them to disable the colonists?
Very well, Commander. If that's what you want.
They are definitely protecting the Borealis. We've got to move one of those cargo blocks.
There's the crane. Can you make sense of the controls, Commander?
They're definitely bunkered around the Borealis. We've gotta move one of its cargo blocks once we're topside.
Banter 00 Dialog2 lines
God, it stinks in here. I feel like I'm going to be sick.
This place is starting to freak me out.
Thorianasari Dialog4 lines
Sounds like you asari got in over your heads for once.
What just happened? Are you okay?
You look pretty rough. We should get you back to the ship.
Well then whatever it is, we can't let him have it.
Trig 01 Entry Dialog8 lines
Okay, by the numbers. We just need to find... to find....
Okay, we have the cutting for the assayer. Now we just have to... we just have to....
What... is that?
We need to find a weak spot on this thing before more of those copies show up.
Here, Commander! There's a... node... or something. Worth looking at.
That's a start. We'll bring it down yet.
Almost there, Commander. That thing has to drop soon.
Looks like it learned a few biotic tricks from that commando.
Banter 00 Dialog4 lines
These ruins go on forever.
Imagine this place at its height.
Not my first choice for a colony.
This place has seen better times.
Gunman Dialog1 line
Well, that's very comforting. Certain death for some, fine for us.
Juliannabaynham Dialog2 lines
They're still alive, but the geth hit them pretty hard.
Commander, I can make it work using our concussion grenades.
Radiochatter Dialog4 lines
We're picking up a comm signal. It's weak, but there's definitely someone out here.
More chatter incoming, Commander. Still no fix.
They're not our concern. We need to find those geth.
They've seen us. They must be nearby.
Banter 00 Dialog1 line
Keep your guard up. This place is probably crawling with geth.
Banter 01 Dialog2 lines
What is this place? Almost looks like the geth built themselves some kind of church.
You think the geth come here to pray? Do synthetics even believe in God?
Claw01 Dialog6 lines
The geth certainly aren't subtle. How do we cut the power if it's coming from the ship?
Same as before. We don't have the ordnance to blow this claw. Let's keep looking.
We find a way to break even one claw and that ship is out of here.
What do you make of this, Commander? Looks like a containment lab.
All right! The door out will be open now. We can head back and deal with this Thorian thing.
Pretty weak across the whole system. Any way to isolate it on a single door?
Jeff “Joker” Moreau Dialog1 line
Well. That got the job done.
Lizbeth Dialog1 line
Thorian? What's that?
Trigger Dialog6 lines
Looks like the geth are settling in nicely.
No way to burn through this shield with the weapons we have. We'll have to find another way in.
Looks like a one-way trip down, Commander.
Any other situation and I'd say it was a... shrine or something.
Are they meditating? Why would a machine do that?
Lizbeth must have run when the power dropped. Let's follow her lead and find the exit.
Vi Dialog2 lines
We should contact Joker.
We need to get that field down so we can get out of here and back to Zhu's Hope.
