Human AmbassadorI have the mission reports. I assume they're accurate?
CaptainThey are. Sounds like you convinced the Council to give us an audience.

CaptainAsk me later and I'll tell you the whole story. For now, all you need to know is I was sent on a mission with Saren, and he made sure the Council rejected me.
Human AmbassadorWe had reports of geth in the Feros system shortly before our colony there dropped out of contact. And there have been sightings around Noveria.

QuarianMost of the core was wiped clean. But I salvaged something from its audio banks.
SarenEden Prime was a major victory! The beacon has brought us one step closer to finding the Conduit.
CaptainThat's Saren's voice. This proves he was involved in the attack!2 choices
CaptainThe Conduit must have something to do with the beacon. Maybe it's some kind of Prothean technology... like a weapon.
QuarianWait... there's more. Saren wasn't working alone.
SarenEden Prime was a major victory! The beacon has brought us one step closer to finding the Conduit.

Human AmbassadorI don't recognize that other voice. The one talking about Reapers.2 choices
QuarianAccording to the memory core, the Reapers were a hyper-advanced machine race that existed 50,000 years ago.
QuarianThe Reapers hunted the Protheans to total extinction, and then they vanished. At least, that's what the geth believe.

QuarianThanks. You won't regret this.
Human AmbassadorAnderson and I will go ahead to get things ready with the Council. Take a few minutes to collect yourself, then meet us in the Tower.
Asari CouncilorCitadel Security is investigating your charges against Saren. We will discuss the C-Sec findings at the hearing. Not before.
Human AmbassadorSettle down, Commander. You've already done more than enough to jeopardize your candidacy for the Spectres.
Human AmbassadorThe mission on Eden Prime was a chance to prove you could get the job done. Instead, Nihlus ended up dead and the beacon was destroyed!
CaptainThat's Saren's fault, not hers!
Human AmbassadorThen we better hope the C-Sec investigation turns up evidence to support our accusations. Otherwise the Council might use this as an excuse to keep you out of the Spectres.
Human AmbassadorCome with me, Captain. I want to go over a few things before the hearing.
CaptainThat's Saren's fault, not his!
Human AmbassadorShepard - you and the others can meet us at the Citadel Tower. Top level. I'll make sure you have clearance to get in.
Ashley WilliamsAnd that's why I hate politicians.

QuarianIt could be resources like food or fuel. Or some type of useful technology. Or even knowledge that will make life easier on the flotilla.
QuarianThrough our Pilgrimage, we prove that we will contribute to the community, rather than being a burden on our limited resources.3 choices

QuarianDuring my travels I began hearing reports of geth. Since they drove my people into exile, the geth have never ventured beyond the Veil. I was curious.
QuarianI tracked a patrol of geth to an uncharted world. I waited for one to become separated from its unit. Then I disabled it and removed its memory core.
CaptainI thought the geth fried their memory cores when they died. Some kind of defense mechanism.2 choices

Is that true?

How did you manage to preserve the memory core?

QuarianMy people created the geth. If you're quick, careful, and lucky small caches of data can sometimes be saved.
QuarianMost of the core was wiped clean. But I salvaged something from its audio banks.
SarenEden Prime was a major victory! The beacon has brought us one step closer to finding the Conduit.
CaptainThat's Saren's voice. This proves he was involved in the attack!2 choices
CaptainThe Conduit must have something to do with the beacon. Maybe it's some kind of Prothean technology... like a weapon.
QuarianWait... there's more. Saren wasn't working alone.

MatriarchAnd one step closer to the return of the Reapers.
Human AmbassadorI don't recognize that other voice. The one talking about Reapers.2 choices
QuarianAccording to the memory core, the Reapers were a hyper-advanced machine race that existed 50,000 years ago.
QuarianThe Reapers hunted the Protheans to total extinction, and then they vanished. At least, that's what the geth believe.
Human AmbassadorSounds a little far-fetched.3 choices

She's right.

Shepard says

The vision on Eden Prime -- I understand it now. I saw the Protheans being wiped out by the Reapers.

QuarianThe geth revere the Reapers as gods, the pinnacle of non-organic life. And they believe Saren knows how to bring the Reapers back.
Human AmbassadorThe Council is just going to love this!3 choices
CaptainWe have to tell them! Even if they don't believe anything else, this proves Saren is a traitor.
Human AmbassadorThe captain's right. We need to present this to the Council right away.
Squadmate — Urdnot Wrex, Ashley Williams, Kaidan AlenkoWhat about her? The quarian?

QuarianYou saw me in the alley, Commander. You know what I can do. Let me come with you.4 choices
CaptainNo matter what they think about the rest of this, those audio files prove Saren's a traitor.
QuarianThe Pilgrimage proves we are willing to give of ourselves for the greater good. What does it say about me if I turn my back on this?

QuarianThanks. You won't regret this.
Human AmbassadorAnderson and I will go ahead to get things ready with the Council. Take a few minutes to collect yourself, then meet us in the Tower.
Asari CouncilorCitadel Security is investigating your charges against Saren. We will discuss the C-Sec findings at the hearing. Not before.
Human AmbassadorSettle down, Commander. You've already done more than enough to jeopardize your candidacy for the Spectres.
Human AmbassadorThe mission on Eden Prime was a chance to prove you could get the job done. Instead, Nihlus ended up dead and the beacon was destroyed!
CaptainThat's Saren's fault, not hers!
Human AmbassadorThen we better hope the C-Sec investigation turns up evidence to support our accusations. Otherwise the Council might use this as an excuse to keep you out of the Spectres.
Human AmbassadorCome with me, Captain. I want to go over a few things before the hearing.
CaptainThat's Saren's fault, not his!
Human AmbassadorShepard - you and the others can meet us at the Citadel Tower. Top level. I'll make sure you have clearance to get in.
Ashley WilliamsAnd that's why I hate politicians.

I think you get results. As long as you keep getting the job done, there's nothing to worry about.
I have. Just make sure you keep getting results and we won't have a problem.
It's not personal, Shepard. Just keep getting results and they'll leave you alone.
I know, I know. Just try to be a little more careful. The Council's watching you. And we all get judged on how you behave.
The Council keeps throwing around words like genocide. I have to go calm them down.
Fine. I'll just tell everyone we figured it was a good idea to release a fertile rachni queen in the wilds of Noveria. I'm sure nobody will have a problem with that.

Just ignore him, Shepard. The ambassador's a little bitter sometimes. Comes with the job.
