I heard you'd returned. Hadn't really noticed you were gone.

Let me guess: You want to run a sim.
Of course you do. I guess beating every mission outright isn't good enough for some people.
Which combat mode? Time Trial, Capture, Survival, or Hunt?
Well, that's all of them. You took the top spot everywhere you could. No one's even surprised any more.
Shepard, I think you may have actually impressed the old man.
I doubt that. You're just the best we've ever seen.
So, you need anything else?
Do you need something else?
Aren't you a glutton for punishment?
What do you need?
Then go play somewhere else. I have work to do.
I'm a technical genius on a station full of soldiers who only respect battlefield prowess. It's more than a little frustrating.
I suppose so. It would just be nice to get credit for it once in a while.
Really? Thank me? Well, I guess I'll redouble my efforts.
Ha! Do you really think I care whether anyone thinks I'm tough?
It's a combination of holographic images and kinetic barriers. Holographic images help you see the objects, and the kinetic barriers keep you from walking through them.
No -- our operatives train in a simulator by killing real, actual people.
They're simulated. But I hear the kinetic slugs hurt just the same.
How exciting for me. Do you need anything else?
That depends on the combat mode.
We have Time Trial, Capture, Hunt, and Survival modes.
You and your squad must defeat all enemies as quickly as possible.
The quicker you defeat all the hostiles, the higher your score.
Capture all designated control points as quickly as possible.
The faster you capture all the control points, the higher your score.
Defeat as many enemies as you can before the countdown timer reaches zero.
You get additional time for every enemy you defeat. The more enemies you kill, the higher your score.
Fend off waves of enemies for as long as possible.
When the squad leader goes down, the mission ends. The longer you survive, the higher your score.
Splendid.
Well, well -- your performance was just reviewed. You now have access to the last set of missions.
New competitors are restricted to low-impact missions till they learn the ropes. The infirmary was starting to complain.
I'm here to serve.
Which combat mode? Time Trial, Capture, Survival, or Hunt?
Which course do you want? I can boot up the Warehouse, Volcanic, or Tropical courses.
Fine.
We give you some dummy grenades and medi-gel. If you try to use a real grenade, I will turn off every safety measure this simulator has.
The projectors are warming up. You can start whenever.
You and your squad must defeat all enemies as quickly as possible.
The faster you take down all the enemies, the higher your score.
And which course? I've got the Warehouse or Tropical courses.
Now, pick a course. I can boot up Volcanic, Tropical, or Subterranean.
You have to fend off waves of enemies for as long as possible.
When the squad leader goes down, the mission ends. The longer you survive, the higher your score.
Now, pick a course. Do you want Volcanic or Tropical?
Let's see. For Hunt mode, I can boot up the Subterranean, Volcanic, or Tropical levels.
Defeat as many enemies as possible before the countdown timer reaches zero.
You get additional time for every enemy you defeat. The more enemies you kill, the higher your score.
All right. I can get you set up in either the Subterranean level or the Volcanic level.
Good choice. And for courses, I have Volcanic, Tropical, and Subterranean.
Capture all designated control points as quickly as possible.
The faster you capture all the control points, the higher your score.
You have your choice between the Volcanic or Tropical courses.
Then why are you here?
For the record, I'm against turning the safeties off.
What about my simulator? I'll be making repairs for weeks.
I don't say this very often, but good luck.
Try to go easy my simulator, Shepard. Please.
So, you must be the famous Commander Shepard.
I'm tech specialist Alud Ochren, lead programmer on the combat simulator.
Do you need something? I'm sure I have a few minutes before someone forgets their password and comes crying to me for help.
What mission do you want?
Commander Shepard83 lines
Load up a program. I want to improve my record.
Maybe he's just going soft.
It was a good opportunity to keep the fighting skills sharp.
I want to give the last test another shot.
I'll be back another time.
What's with the attitude?
You help keep these soldiers at their best. That's extremely valuable.
Your work is important. They'll thank you someday.
Yeah, whining all the time must be pretty draining.
So how does this work?
I assume the enemies are also holographic?
Can't wait to see it in action.
What am I supposed to be doing in these simulations?
What's my mission in Time Trial mode?
What are the Capture mode objectives?
What is the goal in the Hunt mode?
What's Survival mode all about?
I've got it.
Let's try a new simulation.

I'll be fine.
This should be good.
I liked Ahern's mission. Let's try it again.
Give me another crack at it. I'm going beat that sim.
Boot up Ahern's special mission.
