ZabaletaDid she? I wonder.
ZabaletaPeople tied like prize hogs. Locked in cages, clawing and screaming as they're loaded into cargo pods.
ZabaletaAnd we couldn't reach them. The batarian defenses had us pinned. Dozens died trying to advance. All we could do was watch as they hauled people away.
ZabaletaI've been looking for 13 years for something to make that sight go away. What have you got? Huh?3 choices
ZabaletaHey. Been a long time, huh?3 choices

The Einstein, you said?

ZabaletaHey, call your mom up and ask. She'd remember old Zabaleta. She'd vouch for me.
ZabaletaListen. I need a favor. I'm kind of short on money these days. I hate hitting you up for money, but a man's gotta eat, right?

Zabaleta"Retired," yeah. You know how it is. Times are tough for vets. They always are.4 choices
ZabaletaWhat? You think I drink because I like lying in the gutter?
ZabaletaIf you don't have a better option, just give me 20 credits. A good bottle of whisky. Enough to stop the dreams.6 choices
AgreeChoice 1

Wheel

I'll give you 20 for food.

Shepard says

I'm not going to give you money to blow on booze. I'll give you a line of credit at a grocery store.

My mother said to go to the Veteran's Affairs Office. You're not the only one who's seen that brand of hell. They can help.

ZabaletaThe VAO--? God. If she wants me to go talk to someone, fine. I'll do it. For her. She always stuck up for me.
ZabaletaHeh. She always was naive. All the VAO does is pump you full of chemicals.
ZabaletaIf she wants to talk, tell her she can reach me through the Citadel VAO.

You want to play the martyr, whine to the other bums. You want to get better, try the Veteran's Office. We've got seven million vets. Someone else has been through this.

No batarians come here, you know? That's good. Good.
You ever just sit and watch people? You can learn a lot.
Thanks for the credits, kid.
I'll be fine. Don't worry about me.
