Liara T'Soni Dialog142 lines
You're in good hands. Dr. Chakwas knows what she's doing.
Alliance medical personnel take courses in alien biology, just in case.
I just want to talk.
I wanted to make sure you were doing okay.
Why would I do that?
I won't mention it again.
I'm just glad we got there in time.
I had to save you. You can help me stop Saren.
Don't worry, Liara. I trust you. I know you won't let me down.
Promises are easy to make, but hard to keep.
Don't pretend it doesn't bother you. She was your mother.
In the end, maybe she's better off now.
She's gone. You can't change that.
The best of your mother lives on in you: her determination, her intelligence, her strength.
I blame Saren. And if I were you, I'd want revenge.
He's become a slave to the Reapers and he can't even see it.
He's the last person I'd feel sorry for.
He's no innocent victim. He was a ruthless bastard long before he fell under Sovereign's control.
Whatever Saren's reasons may have been, they're long gone now. He has to be stopped.
There's nothing noble about Saren or what he did. He got exactly what he deserved.
It's not your fault.
I showed them the truth and they still won't believe.
Udina couldn't wait to stab me in the back!
I don't care if they ground me, but they refuse to go after Saren. If they don't stop him from finding the Conduit, we're all dead!
I should've known better. Udina, the Council -- they're all the same. Petty, blind, and stupid!
While they sit on their asses, Saren's searching Ilos for the Conduit. As soon as he finds it, we're all dead.
I pushed them as hard as I could! They wouldn't budge.
We're out of the game for now. But I'll find a way back in.
We lost the battle, not the war. I'll figure something out.
I'll think of something. I just need some time.
I don't need you yapping in my ear while I'm trying to figure out a way to fix this!
I didn't mean to snap at you. I appreciate everything you've done. I do. I just... I just don't know what to do next!
I'm sorry, Liara. I just don't know what to do next!
You want to help? Figure out a way to get the Normandy in the air again!
You were incredible.
Amazing.
Ready for round two?
I was just thinking about you.
It's not really a good time.
I always have time for you, Liara.
We're not going to fail. I promise.
I don't plan on failing.
Go ahead. I'm listening.
I want you to be sure about this, Liara. Especially if this is your first time.
Wait... are you saying this would be your first time?
Are you telling me you're a virgin?
We don't have to do this. Not unless you're sure.
I want this, Liara. I do. But are you sure you're ready?
We're heading into a battle to save the entire galaxy, and you want to do this now?
Just tell me what to do.
I thought you'd never ask!
I have to focus on stopping Saren. I can't let anything distract me.
Find our approach vector. I'm heading to the bridge.
Tell me about yourself, Liara.
Sounds dangerous. And lonely.
You don't like other people?
All children rebel against their parents. It's a natural part of growing up.
I bet that pissed her off.
That doesn't sound very interesting.
You must enjoy something about it.
You're right, that doesn't sound very interesting.
Sounds like you want to dissect me in a lab somewhere.
Calm down, Liara. I was only joking.
I'm not some artifact you can take back to your lab, Doctor.
Maybe we could pick up where we left off. You were telling me about your interest in the Protheans.
We don't have the luxury of time. An asari can live for a thousand years. We're lucky if we hit 150.
Has your opinion changed at all?
So you saw us as some kind of joke?
You're scared of us?
You're basically saying we bully other people to get our way.
You can't argue with results.
I'm doing the best I can, Liara.
Why me?
I don't care what the rest of the galaxy thinks about us.
You didn't need to go behind my back. I would've told you whatever you wanted to know.
Now you're digging into my past? Invading my privacy?
Why are you so interested in me?
Are you sure you're interested in me? Or is it my visions of the Protheans?
You're interested in me because of my visions. You just want to know more about the Protheans.
Don't try to justify this! You're obsessed!
Sorry. Guess I overreacted.
I don't care what the rest of the galaxy thinks about me. On this ship, I am in charge. And I don't like my crew digging into my past!
I see your point.
That wouldn't happen. I'm only interested in men.
I care about Kaidan. A lot.
We're not even the same species.
I care about Ash. A lot.
My relationships are none of your business.
You're right. I'm already spoken for.
You want a relationship with me? Even though we're both women?
The lieutenant and I are just friends. Nothing more.
How could we have a relationship? We're not even the same species.
Williams and I are just friends. Nothing more.
You're right. There is something between us.
Sorry, Liara. I'm not interested in you. Not in that way.
No, you were right. There is something between us.
These things never make sense. They just happen, and we get swept up in the storm.
Quit thinking like a scientist. Logic doesn't work when it comes to relationships. Just let yourself get swept up in the storm.
Saren wants both of us dead. That's something.
I'll keep you safe.
Don't tell me a little danger puts you off.
A little danger makes things exciting.
Take all the time you need, Liara. I'll be here.
I wasn't the one who brought this up!
I'm not interested in you in that way, Liara.
Obviously.
It's not a big deal. Don't worry about it.
I like talking with you, Liara. No matter what the subject.
You make it sound almost mystical.
It sounds amazing. Are you saying--
That's a little strange for me. I don't know if I'm ready to--
You asari can live for a thousand years. What happens when your partner grows old and dies?
Are you saying you want to--
I want you to be absolutely sure about this, Liara.
Wait... are you saying this is your first time?
These are dark times, Liara. Maybe once all this is over...
I'm ready... if you are.
I'm not sleeping well. The visions keep me up at night.
What do you mean?
Don't worry about me.
I can handle the responsibility of command. But if I don't stop Saren, the entire galaxy gets wiped out.
I've got broad shoulders.
There's nothing wrong with me!
I just wanted to talk.
I'd like to know more about the asari.
Like what?
I don't understand. Your species can mate with anyone?
So you'll have sex with anything?
What happens to your partner after the union?
You asari live for a thousand years. What happens when your partner dies?
Do you know who Matriarch Benezia chose as her partner?
I thought you always needed another species to serve as one of the parents.
Benezia never told you her partner's name?
Maybe she wanted to meet you but couldn't. Something could have happened to her. Maybe she passed away.
How could anyone abandon their own child?
Why agree to the union if she didn't want any children?
Do you know why Benezia joined up with Saren?
Are you going to be okay?
This hurts you, doesn't it?
Any chance she's in this for power or personal gain?
I should go.
Ashley Williams Dialog250 lines
I keep an open-door policy. If you have any concerns, lay them on me.
It's not normal for an enlisted to speak informally with the commander.
Is this duty-related, Chief?
They may not serve the Alliance, Chief, but they're allies. At least as far as Saren goes.
He may not serve the Alliance, Chief, but he's an ally. At least as far as Saren goes.
You don't trust their motives because they're not human.
You don't trust his motives because he's not human.
Don't mince words, Chief. What's your concern?
You don't trust the Alliance's allies?
That's enough, Chief. You always second-guess your superiors?
I share your concerns, Chief. But I'm under orders.
I'm not going to lock them in sleeper pods for the whole trip, Williams.
I'm not going to lock him in a sleeper pod for the whole trip, Williams.
Standing up for ourselves doesn't mean standing alone.
I trust that's not insubordination I hear.
How do you get from "relying on ourselves" to "mistreating our allies?"
You've got a pessimistic view of the universe, Williams.
The Council's had a grudge against us since the First Contact War.
I don't see that as inevitable.
These seem like deeply-held beliefs, Williams. What made you think this way?
This is an Alliance warship, not the Parliament floor. If you're "Earth first," vote for the Terra Firma Party.
You sound like one of those Terra Firma Party pamphlets, Chief.
I come from a military family, too. My parents were both navy. Anybody in your family we might know?
I never knew my family. Grew up an orphan on Earth. Anybody in your family I'd have heard of?
You're lucky. I lost my family on Mindoir. Are you related to anyone I'd have heard of?
I don't think they meant to start a family tradition. But after sixteen years on ships and stations, how could I spend my life on the ground?
I saw a lot of people die. I can't sit back and let things like that happen.
Mainly, I wanted to serve. Protect the Alliance, save lives. You know.
No. The future of humanity is out here. There's so much we haven't seen yet.
Don't tell me you had Gunny Ellison. He's the only one who uses that word to describe shirking duty.
I'm here to put hypervelocity rounds through the heads of bad guys.
Earth's seen better days. Lots of pollution, too many people. People are trying to fix it, but...
It doesn't sound like you've worked with aliens before.
Guess you make a habit of second-guessing your superiors.
That's odd. Your record is spotless, and your technical scores are exemplary. You should be serving with the fleet.
I expect you to keep your family politics to yourself, Chief. This mission will be difficult enough without you picking fights with aliens.
All right. I can see where your concerns are coming from, Williams. But this is a multilateral mission. You're going to have to work with aliens, like it or not.
I don't think kissing turians will be necessary.
Would you kiss anyone I ordered you to?
I'm glad there won't be a problem.
Afraid I did.
We're in the middle of enemy territory, Chief. Don't you have better things to do than view mail from home?
I don't need to tell you it's inappropriate to gossip about how "cute" your commanding officer is.
Your sister, I assume?
I don't see how my personal life is any of your business, Chief.
We are. I'd like that to continue.
I think I gave you the wrong impression.
Better than a commanding officer should with one of his crew.
Liara? Why would you think that?
You think I'm interested in Liara because she's the only one I'm allowed to date?
Chief, should you be that casual with your commanding officer?
Your family seems to be important to you.
You're lucky to have a close family.
I'll be sure to mention your tact in your next performance review.
Or lack thereof. Relax, Williams. I've dealt with it.
I was an only child, but I get the idea. At least one of my parents was always on duty.
You have more than one sister? Sounds like a big family.
Did your father serve with the fleet?
What about your mother? You haven't mentioned her.
Where did you grow up?
Next you'll tell me you all ran across green fields, singing show tunes.
After helping raise them, your sisters still talk to you? Amazing.
Sounds like a story. Feel like sharing?
If he really liked her, he wouldn't be pushy.
Where were you when this was going on?
The male pursues the female. That's their nature. In the genes.
You ask me, boys need a cold shower that lasts from age 12 to 25.
Sounds like that situation didn't last.
You traveled all the way home to walk your sister to school.
You said all of your sisters learned self-defense?
So what did you learn?
Why didn't you tell the police?
Sarah couldn't have been fond of you escorting her.
Did anything happen while you were home?
That's unbelievable. Sarah must be as good as you.
She cracked him in the face. Good.
He... missed?
Your sister's something else. But you didn't mention your father at all. Was he on deployment?
You were right about one thing. That wasn't interesting. And where was your father during all this?
Where was your father during this? Wasn't your family stationed near him?
Sounds like your father wasn't around much. Wasn't your family stationed near him?
I never thought I'd hear you reciting poetry.
Is the rest of your life story this dull?
Poetry? You going to bore the enemy to death, marine?
I didn't know you liked classical literature.
He must have been a very boring man.
Does he still like it?
You mean from wherever we go after death.
He's not a zombie, is he?
I thought you said he was dead.
Everyone has the right to believe what they want. Says so in the Alliance charter. Only with fancier words.
You know that old saw, "there's never an atheist in a foxhole?" I've been in a lot of foxholes.
You start preaching in the CIC, we'll have a problem.
That depends on whether you have a problem with people who don't believe in God.
Your beliefs are your business. I'm your commanding officer, not your moral compass.
I'll look forward to our next talk.
We're on duty here, Williams.
What are you saying, Williams?
You mean on the anniversary of the First Contact War?
Good thing I have my rabbit's foot. It should counteract all the negative waves.
I don't understand. What's today?
I'm on duty. Have anything without alcohol?
What's the occasion?
With all we've been through lately? Hell yes.
Last I checked, the Alliance Navy was dry.
You can't think I'm the most patriotic person on the ship.
Seems like an odd thing to celebrate. That was 26 years ago.
There's almost nothing in your files. Technical scores and a list of crap assignments.
Are you playing games with me?
I don't know what you're talking about.
I see. That's why you drive yourself so hard.
You're blacklisted because of your grandfather's cowardice.
Don't tell me you're blamed for that.
He refused to sacrifice his men just to save face for humanity. You planning to throw yourself on a sword to save face for him?
I should have figured this out myself. I don't know how I can help you, though.
As I recall, your grandfather held out for a long time.
What happened to your grandfather after the war?
Sometimes you have to fight to the bitter end. You plan to bail if Saren gets the upper hand?
Is this why you're always going on about the Council?
Everyone comes with baggage, Ash. The trick is finding a matched set.
You're a difficult woman. Hard to read. Hard to keep in line.
You're interested in me? It's hard to tell.
The Alliance isn't perfect, but it does well enough.
The Alliance should be able to stand on its own. We can't. Yet. Why not learn from the races who have been standing for the last thousand years?
So you think my letting aliens on board was kowtowing to the Council?
We haven't been out here long, Ash. Once humanity has its space legs, we can start asserting ourselves.
Ash, you believe in God. An infallible, all-knowing creator with a plan for the universe. You think the diversity of views in the galaxy wasn't part of that?
Humans are aggressive. We think fast, we move fast. Wars have started because of our need for constant progress. The Council can balance that.
Humans are at their best when confronted with a problem. This crew proves that. Maybe the Council's opposition will inspire us to be better.
We need to know what to expect out here. We've met aliens who oppose us, but don't want to destroy us. Maybe it's an opportunity to learn.
What happened to your grandfather shouldn't have happened.
I'll pull strings to keep you under my command. I don't hold your family against you. You'll get what you deserve.
But you can't blame the Council for that, or the turians. It was our people who scapegoated him.
Ash, you believe in an infallible, all-knowing God with a plan for the universe. All the grief we get from the Council must be part of that. Right?
Whatever feelings I might have for you, we have to work with the Council. I can't let you second-guess our superiors.
I'm sorry. That was unfair. You've never abused our relationship. Whatever it is. You're hard to figure out.
Seems like every time we run up against aliens, you whip out the "Earth first" card. I can't have my authority undermined.
Regardless, it's not something you or I can change right now. We should focus on our duties.
If not, we'll convince them. One way or the other, the Alliance is going to play a role in the Council.
We better get going, then. Seems I've got something to look forward to after we're done.
You're a valuable part of my crew, Williams. If I want an opinion "from the head," I go to Alenko. When I want one "from the heart," I go to you.
You're tough and decisive. I value those qualities.
You're part of the team, Williams. I don't care what your grandfather did or didn't do.
They're right, you know. We don't have much proof. My "visions" and the word of a rebellious Spectre.
They've dismissed all my concerns out of hand. "Visions." May as well have told them I divined it from entrails.
It's frustrating, Ash. I wish I had proof. But by the time we have it, it'll be too late.
I was a fool. They'll stick their heads in the sand, and it'll come down to us.
Ash, all I'm saying is that you were right and I was wrong. The Alliance does have to look out for number one.
They made me look like an idiot. I stood here and preached at you, and they turned on us. Just like you said they would.
I don't know. Are you always this passive-aggressive?
Look, I only said God had a plan so you'd understand my point. If this universe does have a plan, it needs a few revisions.
Come on, Ash, it's no big deal. Couples fight all the time.
If you're having trouble with this, maybe you need to take a step back.
So we disagree on some things. It happens with every couple.
I'm just venting, Ash. I'm not going to launch a coup when we get back.
Once they know the truth about Sovereign, they'll get involved.
When have politicians ever appreciated the military's sacrifices?
We have to get everyone together on this. The Alliance can't take the Reapers alone.
Don't hold your breath. He's a politician. He'll do whatever's best for him.
There's a lot of work left. There's always more.
Where do you need me, Chief?
The galaxy may need me here, but I need you next to me.
So when can I expect you to stop jerking me around?
It's good to know where I stand with the galaxy. Where do I stand with you?
I understand, Chief. The galaxy isn't going to save itself.
I hear you, soldier. I'm in agreement.
There's some old saw about waiting and good things, isn't there?
I'll just requisition myself some cold showers.
I wish we'd had more free time. It may take me years to figure you out.
We'd be bored if we had any free time.
Free time for what?
This isn't over yet.
If I hadn't heard Sovereign talk, I wouldn't believe it either. I should have predicted the Council's response.
We'll figure it out. We have to. Can I count on you to be there?
We won't learn jack-all if we're extinct!
We'll think of something. I'm not giving up just on Udina's say-so.
I thought they'd listen. That they'd see.
I don't want to talk about it.
I'm sorry. I am glad you're here.
What do you want me to say, Chief? In a month, we'll be dead. If we're not, right now I'm as popular as your grandfather was.
Thanks, Ash. But I don't think you need me to tell you I'm pissed.
I wish could say I was surprised.
I don't care if I have to go through the Council. I won't let Sovereign win.
I don't care if I have to go to President Huerta. I won't sit back and wait for the Reapers to start killing people.
I've had a hell of a time figuring you out. But I think I have. I "want you to be happy" too.
I didn't think you'd want mystique. I've always thought of you as the take-charge type.
I can keep a secret if you can.
Would you roll your eyes if I said this is the first time in months I've felt that all's right in the galaxy?
You still sassin' me, soldier? I think you need more physical training.
You can't ever be serious, can you?
You don't have to call me that. I'm a traitor now. I probably shouldn't even be wearing this uniform.
For now. The Alliance has to catch me before they can strip my rank.
Don't you think we're a little past titles?
First Alfred Tennyson, now Walt Whitman? You're full of surprises.
Don't start with the poetry crap again.
As I recall, the captain dies in that poem.
Just a few months ago, you would have.
They can say whatever the hell they want. Everyone on this ship knows the truth.
If the Alliance calls us rogues, we won't set back the diplomacy.
I keep reminding myself we're doing the right thing. I don't believe me yet.
We wouldn't have been assigned to this ship if we weren't. We'll get it done.
Is my rank all you see when you look at me?
It occurs to me that this might be our last night alive. Got any plans?
Ash, I don't always want to lead you. Sometimes I'd like to stand beside you.
Bunk here tonight, Ash. With me.
At this point, I think I know fairly well what you like.
Ash, I'd like nothing more than to be with you now. But with everything that's going on--
I'm coming up. Prep the ship for silent running.
I can make you feel much more than that. Come here.
This isn't a contest, Ash.
Shut up and get over here.
I'm not looking to be a toy, Ash.
Do you have a few minutes to talk, one-on-one?
The damage is done, Williams.
Are you interested in the lieutenant, Chief?
I heard it. I don't need to tell you it's inappropriate to gossip about how "cute" your superior officers are.
Are you all right with Liara and I?
About Lieutenant Alenko. How are you holding up?
Williams, listen to me. I'm in command of this mission. I made the call. Not you. He's dead because of me.
Every one of us is expendable if it accomplishes the mission. Alenko. You. Me.
I don't like losing people either.
It was my job to get everyone out safe. I failed. I vowed not to let that happen again. Same here. I'll remember him, and I'll do better for him.
We accept death when we put on the uniform, Chief. If you can't deal with that, retire.
I didn't stop and agonize over it while everyone else was in danger. We've got work to do, Williams. We'll remember him later.
What's your opinion on the last mission?
We have an advantage. We know they're coming, and we know about their indoctrination.
When it comes to the survival of humanity, who gives a rat's ass about odds? We're going to fight them.
Odds aren't the whole story. Who'd think one shore party and a platoon of salarians could take out a major base?
All you need to do is show them how getting what you want gets them what they want.
All you do is shove a stick up your ass and care more about money than people.
I was making it up as I went along. Every day, this mission teaches me new skills.
Elysium was worse. They had children there.
Some of them lived. Given what happened there, I'd call that a win.
We did the best we could. Not that it means much to the dead.
I think she's being straight with us. Or, at least, I don't think she lies very often.
I don't think she's used to teasing, good-natured or otherwise.
Is that the best way to spend your time, Chief?
That's between you and her.
I'm not sure I believe it either. It's better to have her where we can see her.
Not everyone's as close to their family as you are.
Not everyone has a happy family life.
You wish we'd been able to save the rest of your unit.
They died. You lived. That happens in this job.
We came as soon as we got the distress call. Even with the fastest ship in the fleet...
The geth are perfect ambushers. They don't move, they don't make noise-- they don't even breathe.
The answer seems plain enough to me. Be more alert.
We never trained to fight synthetics. The geth haven't gone beyond the Veil in three centuries.
We'll talk later, Williams.
Dismissed, Chief.
I'm sorry. That was unfair. You never abused our relationship. Whatever it is. You're hard to figure out.
Kaidan Alenko Dialog243 lines
How can they keep tabs on all of this? The Presidium may as well be on another planet.
This isn't a station; it's a city.
No wonder the Council treats us like outsiders. We'd be just another drop in a bucket they already can't carry.
The Council represents more races than I thought. No wonder they're careful with newcomers.
Why not? We've got oceans, beautiful women, this emotion called love. According to the old vids, we have everything they want.
All right, laugh it up, Chief. I appreciate the thought, Alenko, but we're on duty here.
I'll let it slide, Lieutenant, but try to control yourself.
At ease, Lieutenant. I can't see her in a skirt, anyway.
That would be inappropriate fraternization, Chief.
All right, enough chatter. Let's move out, people.
All right, secure the chatter. We're all FNGs here, but we don't need to make it obvious.
I always make time for my officers.
Make it quick, Lieutenant. I have a lot on my mind.
What's on your mind, Lieutenant?
The Council doesn't want to believe anything's wrong. I'd call it human nature, but...
We've got our orders. Bellyaching won't change them.
We'll get things done. I'd rather operate independently than have the brass on our backs anyway.
I'm sure your letters home are very poignant. Just keep this kind of sentimentality out of the CIC.
Well, well, you're a romantic. Did you sign on for "the dream," Alenko? Secure man's future in space?
I trust you won't have any questions when whatever's coming hits the fan?
I didn't go through BAaT training for my biotics. Tell me about it.
Tell me about it.
Is there some question about how you were exposed?
I heard all about that. How companies would arrange "accidents" to expose people to element zero.
Seems like you beat the odds. How many didn't make it?
You know of any intentional exposures for certain?
"Jump Zero" is Gagarin Station, right? What's it like?
There were other kids in the same boat, right? At least you weren't alone out there.
Then you must've had plenty of time to get to know each other.
You were all teenagers. I'm sure you found other ways to occupy the time.
Sounds like she was special to you.
Jump Zero's a long way from home. What was it like?
I wanted to get to know you a little better, that's all. Thanks for the talk, Kaidan.
I pretty much gave up waiting for the good part.
We have to depend on each other in combat. I like knowing what kind of man I have at my back.
No. No, I don't. We'll talk again later.
Of course. But I don't enjoy it with everyone. We'll talk again later.
I didn't say I did this for the whole crew. We should talk again.
Alenko, there's no regulation that says you can't be friends with your commander.
I want to know everything my crew is capable of, Lieutenant. We're out of our element here.
It's a big galaxy, Lieutenant. Who knows what will come in handy?
Of course. Pull up a tree stump.
Of course. Have a seat.
Lieutenant, I'm sure you have duties to attend to.
We're stuck in this swamp for now, Lieutenant. What's your take?
Let's hear it, Lieutenant. I'm always open to my officers.
That's not the appropriate way to address your commanding officer, Lieutenant.
All right, Alenko. Off the record, permission to speak candidly, cross my heart and hope to die. What are you talking about?
I don't think you should be prying into my affairs.
Someone--? You're referring to our young Prothean expert?
You seem awfully worried about my personal affairs.
My relationship with Dr. T'Soni is professional.
Look, there's nothing between Liara and me. What's the real issue here, Kaidan?
I'm tired of this, Lieutenant. I don't care if you have a problem with me chatting up Liara. It's none of your business.
Look, you didn't want to talk about Liara, did you? What's your real issue?
We haven't had much off-duty time to talk. You have an issue with how things are going?
I'd love to, but I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about.
I'm listening. Tell me why you feel the need to speak up.
Talk to me, Kaidan. You've got a little black raincloud sitting over your head.
Alenko, if you have one failure, it's an inability to speak directly.
You're talking about a particular example, aren't you?
The only experts would have to be aliens.
The asari would have been more acceptable than the turians.
Is there some reason we couldn't learn it on our own?
Get your knuckles rapped a few times, Lieutenant?
I'm sure Conatix did what they thought was best.
So why are you telling me this? Is there something I can do to help you get over it?
Am I supposed to talk you down now or something? Because I'm not so good at therapy.
Special, huh?
So why are you telling me this? Are you saying I'm cutting corners somewhere?
Important, huh?
I'm a big girl, Alenko. I don't need your help.
So you think you have leave to talk like we're more than officers?
You're not out of line, Kaidan. But there are regs.
Sorry, Kaidan. This was just a battlefield thing.
Now isn't the ideal time. But I want to talk about this, Kaidan.
Did he ever face charges for that?
Sounds like a classic drill instructor to me. The ones at the Macapá boot camp were brutal.
You're a hell of a biotic, though. He must have done something right.
Do you think I've made any bad decisions so far?
I'm your commanding officer, Alenko. Are you questioning the way I handle things?
Your concerns have been noted, Lieutenant. Dismissed.
Nothing more out of you, Alenko. Dismissed.
What "corners" are we talking about?
This a personal observation, Kaidan?
You seemed decisive then, Lieutenant. Why so hesitant now?
All those words, and you still said nothing.
Something to add, Lieutenant, or are you just breaking in your thesaurus?
Wanting to believe everything will be fine? Sounds like human nature to me.
It's up to the Alliance to take its proper place. Even if we have to kick its ass to convince it to kick theirs.
It'll have to happen sooner or later. The aliens don't want to understand our position.
You sound like you want the aliens dictating to us.
I don't know about that. Remember Vyrnnus? There are a lot like him.
So can I guess this will add to your resentment against aliens?
I'd think you'd carry a grudge over the crap you took from Vyrnnus.
Don't tell me you and Vyrnnus hugged on graduation day.
I don't see you snapping very easily. What finally did it?
I'm glad to hear the bastard got what he deserved.
Blowhards are easy to brush off. How'd he finally get under your skin?
You wanted to help a girl you cared for. That's a noble thing.
Tapping that deep must have shocked the hell out of you.
Like I said, he deserved it.
He deserved it.
Sat down by a kid. Vyrnnus must have hated that.
Was Rahna all right?
Tell me what happened.
After you almost got killed for her?
I don't understand.
You were just a kid. How'd you deal with that mess?
I wouldn't shed any tears over Vyrnnus.
He's probably got something over you in the regrets department.
So that's why you're so self-controlled.
Kaidan, you are wound tighter than a clock. Not because of Vyrnnus; because of Rahna's rejection.
You agonize over doing the right thing. You never let yourself lose control. Because Rahna spurned you after Vyrnnus died.
It's okay to have weaknesses. Just means you're human. So deal with it.
Kaidan, you're a strong man. Talking about this doesn't make you a whiner, and it doesn't make you immature. It makes you human.
You can't deny the turians are imperialists. And the asari, the salarians -- they're manipulators.
When anyone out here listens to us, the Council starts up with their treaties and heel-dragging. We can only rely on ourselves.
The Council isn't Vyrnnus. The Council is you. Gun-shy after past wars. Too worried about what might happen to take action.
I don't need you kissing the Council's asses too.
I'm sorry. I'm just angry about the whole mess. You've been invaluable. For everything.
I can't believe you'd side with aliens over your own kind. I think we're done here.
Saren and the geth are running wild now. There's no time for "slow to change," and you know it. Are you going to let them pull humanity down with them?
I'm not saying we should kick the applecart over. They need someone willing to deal with threats like Saren. I don't see anyone else stepping up.
They're burying their heads in the sand while Saren rolls over the Terminus Systems. If they won't help themselves, we have a responsibility to save them.
They can't make the hard calls. They're too afraid of what might happen. You had more spine as a kid than they're showing now.
I've got a lot of the galaxy to see before I start flying a desk.
No way you're getting me behind a desk.
And here I was concerned you were damaged goods.
A reasonable stance. Keep that level head and we'll do fine.
I don't know. You don't seem angry about the Council strong-arming the Alliance.
I want to know you're on our side. Whatever needs to be done.
Lieutenant, I believe we need to get you a posting in recruitment.
As long as you remember that, we'll do fine, Lieutenant.
You're free to believe whatever you want, Lieutenant. Just follow orders.
That's throwing out the baby with the bathwater, don't you think?
Ease it back, Kaidan. I'm not talking revolution, just getting our due.
Sounds like I crossed some wires. I was probably angry after a rough day. I'm sorry. Let's take a step back.
Whether they want to or not, they'll have to listen to us. But they're not the enemy. They're just... misguided.
That's why I wear the stars. If I change my mind, all you have to do is keep up.
Kaidan, there's a difference between me ranting in private and us--I don't know--launching a coup or something.
If you're having trouble with this, maybe you need to take a step back.
Come on, Kaidan, it's no big deal.
That's the goal, Lieutenant. Just wait until we're closer to doing it before you start crowing.
Absolutely we should. But the Council can be salvaged. We shouldn't need to replace them. They just need to listen when we talk realpolitik.
They don't want to deal with reality. They want to believe the whole galaxy's as cautious as they are. That no one can surpass their power.
That's the idea, Lieutenant.
It's been a struggle. But we've earned their respect now.
I don't know. They haven't shown any interest in listening to us so far.
There's a lot of work left. There's always more.
You haven't had the easiest life. But I like the man it's made of you.
Keep that in mind after this is over. I will be tracking your shore leave, mister.
I bet you say that to all your Commanding Officers.
That sounds wonderful, Lieutenant. In the meantime, we save the galaxy.
I hear you, soldier. I'm in agreement.
That sounds nice. Careful, you'll distract me from saving the galaxy.
I hear you, soldier. I'm waiting with bated breath.
I'd have liked to spend more time getting to know my officers, Alenko.
Assuming more crap doesn't come up.
You have something you want to say?
The ambassador was no help. We got hung out to dry. Again.
I'm in no mood to discuss this, Alenko.
I'm sorry. I do appreciate that you're here.
I don't have time to coddle you, Lieutenant. Fun's fun, but my command is on the line.
It's nothing personal, Kaidan. It's just-- I could cheerfully toss every Council member out of the airlock right now.
I pushed as hard as I could. They wouldn't listen.
We're out of the game for now. I need you to be there while I figure things out.
I'm looking for a little personal support here. Knock off the "good soldier" crap.
Come on, Kaidan. I can get a salute from anyone on this ship. Sometimes I need a shoulder.
We lost the battle, not the war. I'll figure something out.
We'll think of something. I just need to figure things out.
You always this cautious with a sure thing?
I'm glad you're here. It was a frustrating trip before we were grounded.
Can't just pull out a good old-fashioned "It'll be all right", can you?
That wasn't so hard, now was it?
If you get me to melt now, when will I figure out how to save the galaxy?
I'm sick of it, too. Maybe we need to take a little initiative.
Galaxy in the balance and you trip talking to me.
I think you need more practice appreciating me. On the floor and give me 20, Lieutenant!
Careful. When this is over, I might pay more attention to what you say.
Official channels are closed. They were quite clear about that.
You're a sweetheart, Kaidan.
You know, I don't think I have all my stress worked out yet.
You probably shouldn't call me that. I probably shouldn't even be wearing this uniform.
For now. The Alliance has to catch me before they can strip my rank. What do you need?
Don't you think we're a little past titles?
The Council showed a repeated failure to "get it." They were going to bring humanity down with them.
Blind, useless fools. I'd have given them fiddles, but I doubt they read history.
Udina is blind to the big picture. It was time to act. If the greatest casualty is my career, we'll be damn lucky.
I keep reminding myself we're doing the right thing. I don't believe me yet.
I don't know about the "example" part. But as far as saving the galaxy, how good are first-timers supposed to be?
I'm just here to get the job done. Let someone else be on the poster.
Kaidan, you stopped being a subordinate a long time ago. Don't you think it's time to act like it?
Kaidan, I don't think I've had the pleasure of you serving under me. Don't you think it's time to rectify that?
You're still hesitating? After all we've been through together? What are you afraid of?
Bunk here tonight, Kaidan. With me.
Hold that thought. There'll be time for us when this is over. I promise.
I'm coming up. Prep the ship for silent running.
I can make you feel much more than that. Come here.
Kaidan, you make me feel I could take on the universe. And right now? I kind of have to.
Shut up and get over here.
I'm not looking for a pet, Kaidan. I'd have gone elsewhere for that.
Just trying to get a sense of where the crew's at. Thoughts?
Alenko, when it's just you and me, you can consider it off the record.
Like I've got time to write you up. You have something you want to say, feel free.
All right, let's label it officially off the record. Got something on your mind?
They deserve to know what we're up against.
Those communications are classified, Lieutenant.
And what do they think?
Anything I can do?
Is this going to be a problem?
Ever thought about going back under the knife? Maybe get an upgrade?
I haven't heard anything about Conatix in a while.
You distrust them that much?
Got a story there, Alenko?
The paperwork will keep. Something on your mind?
I'll probably be up half the night working on them.
All in triplicate, I'm sure. Did you want to see me?
About Liara and me... Is everything all right?
There's politics and then there's people. Alien or not, I'm fond of her.
She's not anti-human. In time, she'll come around to our way of thinking.
Unlike most of them, she's willing to listen to us.
You're a good man, Kaidan. I'm sorry it didn't work out.
Good. High school angst would really annoy me.
I didn't think you'd do otherwise.
I wanted to see how you're dealing with Ash's death.
I understand. I don't like losing people either.
Every one of us is expendable if it accomplishes the mission. Ash. You. Me.
I don't like losing people either, Alenko.
It was my job to get everyone out safe. I failed. I vowed not to let that happen again. Same here. I'll remember her, and I'll do better for her.
We accept death when we put on the uniform, Lieutenant. If you can't deal with that, retire.
I didn't stop and agonize over it while everyone else was in danger. We've got work to do, Alenko. We'll remember her later.
What's your opinion on the last mission?
Yeah, they've been around a while. So were the turians. We gave them a boot in the ass.
We don't need to appreciate their culture, Alenko. We need to blow them up. Period.
We may be ants to them, but humans have never managed to exterminate ants.
Any opinion on the rachni?
Any intentions there, Lieutenant?
Just remember, Lieutenant. I saw her first.
We'll talk later, Kaidan.
We'll talk another time, Lieutenant.
That's throwing the baby out with the bathwater, don't you think?
Every one of us is expendable if it accomplishes the mission. Ash. You. Even me.
Urdnot Wrex Dialog76 lines
Everyone else thinks I'm crazy.
You think I'm crazy, don't you?
I'm not as crazy as everyone thinks.
You and me both.
They won't.
So long, Wrex.
That's what I expect from all my people.
I appreciate what you did, Wrex. I won't forget it.
Don't make me regret letting you live.
We'll have him soon enough. Then he can answer for his crimes.
No matter what it takes, I'm going to hunt him down and kill him.
What's your story, Wrex?
You krogan live for centuries. Don't tell me you haven't had a few interesting adventures.
They tried the same with us. But we fought them off.
I heard about that. You know, they almost did the same to us.
It seems pretty much the same to me.
It seems similar enough to me.
I suppose it isn't all the same.
You're still here. It can't be all that bad.
Sorry, Wrex. I wasn't trying to get you upset.
I was just making conversation. I wasn't trying to upset you.
What can you tell me about the genophage?
Why don't the krogan try to find a cure?
Are your people really dying?
Lots of species have left their homes and prospered.
Nothing.
It won't be long now. Saren's good, but I'm better.
I don't really care, Wrex.
Why didn't you tell me this sooner?
I think I'd like to hear about it just the same.
I'll decide what's important. Now tell me how you know Saren.
I didn't know Saren was openly recruiting mercs.
What did Saren want with the ship?
Whose ship was it?
What kind of cargo was the freighter carrying? What was Saren after?
That's the only time you saw him?
Why did you become a mercenary?
Such as?
Why not stay and help your people?
What happened?
What did you want?
I take it the warlord didn't appreciate that.
It sounds like a trap to me. You must've suspected as much.
Jarrod was your father?
You must have family other than your father. Don't you miss them?
What kind of business?
I think I already found it, Wrex.
You getting soft on me, Wrex?
Who has it?
What's so important about this armor?
Just tell me where to start looking.
So you'd rather be a merc than help your people?
Aren't you at all worried about what will happen to the krogan?
So you decided to go your own way.
So you're just giving up on your people?
Exactly. That's why I hired you.
You ever think about helping your people?
How long have you been a merc?
I get the feeling you enjoy your work.
You ever go an any missions like ours before?
Do you remember any that stick out?
I guess even politicians have need of mercs from time to time, huh?
What did he want you to do?
Were you afraid of her?
I can see why that might give you pause.
An asari commando mercenary? That's unusual, isn't it?
Which one of you made it first?
So what did you do?
What happened on the station?
I assume the asari commando didn't make it.
What about the diplomat? He wanted her dead.
You're smarter than you look, Wrex.
And he believed you?
I found this armor. Does it belong to you?
Wrex, I think I found your armor.
Wrex.
Tali'Zorah nar Rayya Dialog88 lines
Your father probably has some political pull, right? He wouldn't let them throw his little girl in jail.
We've got bigger problems than your father. Like Saren and the Reapers.
If they catch us, then Saren finds the Conduit. Whatever your father's got planned, I guarantee the Reapers will do worse.
The Normandy's the best ship in the fleet. They'll never catch us.
We've got bigger problems than the Council. Like Saren and the Reapers.
If they catch us, then Saren finds the Conduit. Whatever the Council's got planned, I guarantee the Reapers will do worse.
Is something wrong?
Make it quick.
You want to bring this data back to the Migrant Fleet.
I can't pass out classified information.
If I give you this data, your Pilgrimage is over. You'll go back to your own people.
You think you can use this information to destroy your enemy.
Go ahead. Make a copy.
I never wanted anything more.
I'll be counting on you, Tali.
It'll take years to decipher and analyze the data.
Until our cryptologists decipher that data, it stays with the Alliance. After that, you can make an official appeal for access to the files.
I'm a soldier, Tali. I have to respect the chain of command.
Is this going to cause trouble later on?
The Normandy's a prototype. Cutting edge technology.
I don't like the idea of aliens studying the architecture of Alliance ships.
I had no idea you found ship technology so interesting.
I can't believe your fleet's still using ships that are three centuries old.
I want to talk about something else.
I didn't bring you along to admire my ship.
Are you okay?
What's your problem?
I didn't mean to snap at you. What's wrong?
The silence wakes you up?
I find it rather peaceful. Don't worry, you'll get used to it.
You'll get used to it.
Sometimes we don't appreciate what we have until it's gone.
Sounds like the Pilgrimage isn't just about finding resources for the fleet. Maybe it's about teaching you to appreciate your people and culture.
You do plan to return to the Migrant Fleet, right?
I need my crew to be in top form. I can't have you daydreaming about going home.
I don't have time to deal with your personal problems.
Good to see you smiling again. So to speak.
Why are you so cheerful?
We've still got a long way to go. You'll find something to take back.
What are you hoping to find?
You'd better not jeopardize my mission for the sake of your Pilgrimage!
What's so special about you?
So are you some kind of heir to the quarian throne or something?
You must get all kinds of special privileges.
If we don't stop Saren, the death toll's going to be a hell of a lot higher than seventeen million.
It must be tough on you.
Why didn't you tell me this before?
The work you're doing here is more important than anything any quarian has ever done before.
What would you need to bring back to make everyone happy?
Just remember why you're really here. Stay focused on Saren.
It won't be much longer. One way or another, it'll all be over soon.
If we don't stop him soon, it'll be too late.
We couldn't have done this without you, Tali.
Saren's still got a couple more surprises waiting for us.
Saren is looking to wipe out all life in the galaxy. Everyone's a part of this somehow, whether they know it or not.
I'm going to miss you when you go back to your own people, Tali.
I didn't bring you along as a favor, Tali. You're here because you contribute to the mission. And I need all the help I can get on this one.
This isn't getting us any closer to the Conduit.
I want to know more about the Pilgrimage.
Can a captain choose to reject the gift?
I can't believe they just send you off alone.
Tell me about your people.
What kind of freedoms?
That's your government?
So the ultimate power rests with elected officials?
I want to know more about the geth.
Interesting.
How come the Council didn't step in and stop you?
You had to know it would blow up in your face.
So the geth share brain power?
So they're some sort of group consciousness?
That doesn't make any sense.
What made them rebel?
I don't see what's so bad about those questions.
What did you do?
You can't blame them for fighting for their survival.
You're the ones who started the war. The geth were just fighting for their survival!
You didn't really think they'd just let you destroy them without a fight, did you?
It's hard to feel sorry for you. Your ancestors tried to wipe out another species.
You got what you deserved.
They didn't kill Saren.
I didn't meant to offend you.
You make a good point.
You didn't give them a real good first impression.
What was your father like?
Where was your mother in all this?
Sounds like a tough upbringing. You don't resent your father at all?
I should go.
Garrus: Find Dr. Saleon8 lines
Are you sure it's him?
Put him out of his misery so we can get going.
We'll take him in. Drop him off with the military.
If he dies, we'll never know what he's been up to, or how he did it. We'll take him in, interrogate him, and he'll serve his time.
This is my kill, Garrus.
You can't predict how people will act, Garrus. But you can control how you'll respond. In the end, that's what really matters.
Good. Remember that feeling. That's how it should be.
Never hesitate when you've got the enemy in your sights, Garrus.
Dr. Saleon Without Garrus5 lines
I just saved your life. Show some appreciation!
I could have just left you to your fate.
Let's move, people.
Garrus is a big boy. He'll get over it.
I think he'll understand.

Have you been here before?
Whatever. Let's get moving.
Well, what is it?

Uh-huh. Let's move, people.
Garrus Vakarian Dialog80 lines
Stealing the Normandy is a trivial risk compared to the threat of Saren.
We'll be fine, Garrus. Just be ready when we find Saren.
You sound worried, Garrus.
We'll catch him. Just be ready when we do.
You worry too much, Garrus. We'll catch him soon enough.
You'll be glad to know he's dead.
You mad that I took your kill?
You'll get over it.
The mission comes first, Garrus. I wanted someone else at my back for this one.
Sometimes things don't work out the way we'd like. That's just life, Garrus.
Have you worked with a Spectre before?
Being a Spectre does have its advantages.
For the most part, the rules are there for a reason.
So you just quit because you didn't like the way they do things?
You did the right thing. Life's too short to sit around waiting for things to happen.
It's not the end of the world. You'll have tougher decisions soon enough.
I hope you made the right choice. I'd hate for you to regret it later.
If getting the job done means endangering innocent people, then, no. We get the job done right, not fast. Got it?
As long as you do your job well, you're free to go about your business as you see fit.
Just do a good job and don't get in my way. We'll get along fine.
I gotta go.
You think you've got us Spectres figured out?
Why did you want to be a C-Sec Officer in the first place?
Like what?
He's not impressed that you're going after Saren?
That's tough. But you'd think he'd be impressed you're going after Saren.
You were asked to be a Spectre?
Spoken like a true C-Sec officer.
I suppose I can understand his concern.
Not all Spectres are like Saren, you know.
Just because you can break the rules, doesn't mean you should. I don't need to stoop to Saren's level to stop him. And neither do you, Garrus.
You're a quick learner, Garrus. We'll beat him at his own game. It's the only way to stop someone like him.
Don't get caught up in the details, Garrus. We'll find him and then we'll stop him. That's all you need to know.
I need to go. So long, Garrus.
You've been with C-Sec a while. Have you seen much action?
I bet you have. Anything in particular that stands out?
What happened? Why were you investigating him?
You've seen this before on the Citadel?
So what was it?
So how did you figure out what was happening?
You're kidding, right? Why would anyone want krogan testicles?
What did you do about the geneticist?
Yeah. Go on.
Good thinking. Lackeys are always easier to scare.
You mean threatening. Was that really necessary?
So he was growing spare parts in his own employees.
He was growing parts inside these people?
I hope he got what he deserved.
Why not? What the hell happened?
But you went after him anyway, right?
Well, you can't get them all.
It's not worth the risk. You pursue the vessel and disable it. That's the best choice.
No wonder you hated it there. Those idiots just let him fly away.
If you don't care about the fate of those hostages, then you're no better than he is. You're just a terrorist with a badge.
A few casualties is a small price to pay to stop someone like that.
I suppose I can see both sides. But what's done is done.
Do you have any idea what happened to Dr. Saleon?
I'll check out the coordinates when I get a chance.
Something bothering you?
We're getting close, Garrus. We'll find him.
I understand your concern, but we will find him. Just make sure you're ready to go when we do.
Thank you, Garrus. I'll keep that in mind. Just make sure you're ready to go when we do catch him.
I've gotta go.
What is it?
I get the feeling this isn't a question. Speak your mind, Garrus.
You seem to have some thoughts on this. Speak your mind, Garrus.
It'll depend on the situation. I'm not committing to anything until I've got him in my sights.
If Saren won't listen to reason, if he forces my hand, I'll kill him in a heartbeat. But only if it's absolutely necessary.
We know more about Saren's plans than anyone, but what do we really know? If we just kill him, we lose the chance to find out.
Maybe, maybe not. But it's not a chance I'm willing to take.
This isn't up for debate, Garrus. Now fall in line!
I'm glad you see it that way. I never had any intention of capturing that bastard. When I see him, he dies.
Just make sure you're ready when it happens.
I don't have time for this.
What for, Garrus?
I'm glad you see it that way. Keep that in mind when we meet Saren.
Words mean nothing until you turn them into action, Garrus. What are you going to do about it?
You're welcome, Garrus.
That's quite a speech, Garrus.
See you later, Garrus.

Hold off, Joker. We're not sacrificing human lives to save the Council. Keep our ships back until they can get a shot at Sovereign.
Wait until those arms open, Joker! We need all our ships focusing on Sovereign, even if it means sacrificing the Council.
Vigil's data file worked. I've got control of all systems.
Council Alive Dialog9 lines
I want a true advocate for humanity on the Council. Someone who will protect the interests of our species no matter what. I want Udina.
We need someone with the courage to stand up for what he believes in. Someone like Captain Anderson.
You're right. We need someone with diplomatic experience. Someone like you, Ambassador.
I'd rather have the captain on the Council than any politician I know.
We've already got too many politicians on the Citadel. The captain would be perfect for this job.
Let the politicians figure this one out.
Sovereign was only a vanguard. The Reaper fleet is still coming. Hundreds of ships, maybe thousands. And I'm going to find some way to stop them!
Sovereign alone nearly wiped you out. You won't stand a chance if the whole Reaper fleet shows up. Not unless I find some way to stop them!
Don't start patting yourselves on the back just yet. Sovereign wasn't alone. The rest of the Reapers are still out there. And I'm going to find some way to stop them!
Council Dead Dialog16 lines
This wasn't some plan for the Alliance to seize power! We need to work with the other races to rebuild.
You have a plan?
The Council was always holding us back. When I saw the opportunity to get rid of them, I took it.
We need to work together with the other species! It's the only way we can stand against the Reapers!
The rest of the galaxy isn't just going to bow down just because we tell them to. We'll need the fleets to bring them in line.
The rest of the galaxy isn't just going to bow down because we tell them to.
We need someone who understands how politics really works. You've shown you know how to play this game.
We're about to go into war. We need someone with military experience. Someone like Captain Anderson.
The Reapers are still out there. They're coming. And I'm going to find some way to stop them.
You two can argue politics all you want. But the Reapers are still out there. They're coming. And I'm going to find some way to stop them!
Let the politicians figure this one out. I've got real work to do. The Reapers are still out there. And I'm going to find some way to stop them.
This wasn't some plan for the Alliance to seize power! Forcing the other races to accept our leadership is going to cause problems.
I can see the other races inviting us to join the Council. But lead it? That's a whole different story.
The other species won't like this. We'll need our fleets to bring them in line.
We need someone who understands how politics work. Someone used to dealing with the other species. Someone like you, Ambassador.
You two can handle the political end. But the Reapers are still out there. They're coming. And I'm going to find some way to stop them!

You just don't know when to quit, do you?
This time I'll make sure you stay dead!
You're parasites, feeding off organic society. Without us, your kind couldn't survive!
Turian, Reaper, organic, machine -- I don't care what you are. I'm taking you down!
Make sure he's dead.
Saren Dialog18 lines
In time for what?
Let's end this.
Had to wipe out a few hundred of your followers along the way. Sorry if I kept you waiting.
I've still got a few tricks up my sleeve.
I'm heading to that master control panel. And you can't stop me.
You let Sovereign implant you? Are you insane?
Fancy hardware's not going to save you.
Sovereign's controlling you through your implants! Don't you see that?
I'd rather die than live like that.
Sovereign hasn't won yet. I can stop it from taking control of the station! Step aside and the invasion will never happen!
The Reapers don't use organics! They devour and discard them! As soon as the conquest is over, you'll be cast aside!
The Reapers don't use organics! They devour and discard them. As soon as the conquest is over, you'll be cast aside!
Some part of you must still realize this is wrong. You can fight this!
You could have resisted. You could have fought! Instead, you surrendered. You quit.
It's not over yet. You can still redeem yourself!
There's still one way to stop this... if you've got the guts.
I'm done arguing with you. Let's end this!
No more stalling, Saren. Let's finish this!
Administrator Anoleis Dialog89 lines
Benezia didn't have full control of her own mind.
You get near a point, make it.
The staff recommended destroying the lab.
They were breeding rachni.
Seriously, rachni. They found a queen's egg.
I'm always serious. Maybe you didn't notice.
How much would that be worth to you?
Do you know how much the Daily Galactic News would pay for this?
Oh, I see. You're insulting me. If you want the truth, stop wasting my time and make a real offer.
Let's say they were breeding monsters, and some of them escaped.
Life is full of little disappointments, Mr. Anoleis. This is one of yours.
I'll need something from you in exchange.
No. Just reminding you I have them. Enjoy your day.
I have.
No, not yet.
I've decided to keep it myself.
I changed my mind and gave it to him.
I delivered the package to its intended buyer.
Opold was smuggling bobble-head geisha dolls. It wasn't worth your time.
I got a better deal from the intended buyer.
I don't like your attitude, Mr. Anoleis.
Alternate means out of Hanshan were available.
Not right now.
Yes, I have it with me.
I don't have it yet.
Opold wants me to smuggle a package through security.
Here's the package. Proof enough?
How thankful are you?
It's not yours yet. Make it worth my time.
All part of the job.
Thank you for your assistance, Mr. Anoleis.
You know, that's a dangerous weapon. It shouldn't be left unsecured. I should impound it.
Opold's buyer is not going to be happy when he hears this. I can keep an eye on him, if you sweeten the reward.
Of course. But I'll keep that mod. It's military hardware. I can't leave it in the hands of a civilian.
If this incident was reported, it would be bad for business. But I could arrange for my report to headquarters to be "overlooked."
I already have a pass.
It's a shame you didn't cooperate in the first place.
That will do fine.
So you'll arrest him?
Not so fast. In exchange, I want garage access.
What will you do for me in return?
I'll look into it and get back to you.
I have the package Opold wanted me to smuggle.
I've acquired Qui'in's evidence of your misconduct. Let's talk.
From what I saw, Qui'in's allegations are true.
It's not my place to believe you or not. I'm turning it over to the Executive Board.
Mr. Anoleis, all I care about is finding Benezia. Is that something you can help me with?
Shut your piehole. Give me a pass to leave or the evidence goes to the Board.
That's my plan. Goodbye, Mr. Anoleis.
Calm down. I don't care about your petty crimes.
Give me what I need to find the Matriarch, and I'll leave the evidence with you.
If it's fake, then you won't mind my turning it over to him.
You're guilty as hell, and you're going down.
And how would this generosity benefit me?
I don't want to upset you by showing you this evidence. Mr. Anoleis. It's fairly incriminating.
How about this? You help me get to Benezia, I don't turn you over to the Board. And I keep the evidence to ensure your good behavior.
That sounds reasonable. You have a deal.
I don't think so.
I'll consider it if you help me get to Matriarch Benezia.
Lorik Qui'in wants me to break into his own office. He says you're corrupt.
You have any proof of that?
He asked me to recover certain records relating to you.
We'll see what the truth is soon enough.
I've heard an asari Matriarch is here. Benezia?
What brought her out here?
What did you mean by "personal escort?"
What can you tell me about her cargo?
What do you mean "personal escort?"
I'd like to see her immediately.
Surface access, you say?
Back to my other questions.
I have no more questions at this time.
Do you do business with Saren?
Is Binary Helix developing weapons for him?
Is there some problem on Peak 15?
Why is Synthetic Insights closed?
Your secretary is a plant for the Executive Board. Internal Affairs, she said.
I'm leaving.
You have a problem with spacers?
You have a problem with colonials?
I'm here as a Spectre, not a human. Keep that in mind.
I see you looked up my service record.
Funny thing about humans. We're pretty loyal to our homeworld.
I won't take up much of your time.
I'm conducting an investigation. It's a matter of galactic security.
Are you telling me you have no safety protocols?
And I represent the "second-guessing of galactic law."
I'm not here to investigate your tenants.
I'll be leaving now.
Giannaparasini Dialog78 lines
Oh, right. Qui'in's evidence. Forgot all about it.
I used the evidence to "persuade" Anoleis to let me go to Peak 15.
I'll ask him. Be patient a little longer.
I gave Qui'in his evidence a while back.
I gave Anoleis the evidence some time ago.
I got what I needed in my own way.
It took some persuasion, but Qui'in has agreed to testify.
Doesn't this help you? You don't seem particularly happy.
So how about getting me into the garage?
That's some gratitude you've got there.
I'll leave you to your work.
I don't think Qui'in will agree to testify. Can't you just take the evidence?
All right. I'll talk to Qui'in and see if I can convince him.
I decided to take Qui'in's reward. Sorry.
You underestimated Noveria's code of silence. Qui'in wouldn't rock the boat, no matter what assurance I offered.
I never signed up to be a Spectre. I was drafted.
Anoleis paid me for it. Tough luck.
Language, miss.
Frankly, your self-righteous attitude pissed me off.
I needed to get to Peak 15. The shortest route was a straight line.
I need to get to Peak 15. The shortest route was a straight line.
I need more time. Be patient.
Why is an Internal Affairs agent here?
I don't have time for pleasantries.
What do you want?
I need Qui'in's garage pass to complete my mission.
I thought corruption was the rule on Noveria.
You work for Anoleis. Can't you just take his records?
Why don't you ask Qui'in directly?
If your Executive Board loses a few million credits, it's not my problem. I have my own mission.
You're too late. I already gave Qui'in his evidence.
You're too late. I already gave Anoleis the evidence.
I don't have time for this.
I'd like to help you, Miss Parasini, but I need Qui'in's garage pass. It's vital to my mission.
All right. I'll talk to Qui'in and see if I can convince him.
Do you know why the Matriarch is here?
Do you know what she had in the crates?
You gave me the company line about Peak 15. What's the truth?
What's happening up on Peak 15?
That doesn't tell me much.
And if the crew never sends an all-clear?
How can I get to Peak 15?
Qui'in is offering to pay me. Can you?
I'll keep Qui'in's evidence.
I'll consider it and get back to you.
So it would seem. I need an alternative.
I can bludgeon pretty hard.
All right. What would you do?
Talk to you later.
I'd like to speak to Anoleis.
Tell me about the companies that work on Noveria.
Your guards work for ERCS, don't they?
Binary Helix? They work in genetics?
Haven't I seen Synthetic Insights in the news lately?
How large are the facilities here?
I've taken up enough of your time.
You said I should talk to Lorik Qui'in.
I hear there was an accident on Peak 15.
What kind of weather cuts modern communications?
What corporations work on Peak 15?
So, "everyone shut up and keep your heads down?"
Nothing right now, thank you.
I appreciate your help.
Someone piss in your security chief's coffee today?
I have urgent business here.
Pretty heavy security for such a small port.
I can't have my investigation hampered.
Is this "privacy" intended to hide illegal research?
I'm not here to dig out any corporate secrets.
Has anyone unusual passed through here recently?
Can I speak with her?
She's a threat to galactic peace. I'm here to bring her in or put her down.
"Passed through?" Where is she now?
Could you tell me how to get there?
That's where I need to be, then.
Good. Give us directions, and we'll be on our way.
Where can I find the administrator?
Understood. Can we go in now?
Inamorda Dialog27 lines
I had my own business to take care of. Your package was a means to an end.
I didn't ask who Opold was selling to.
So? You going to do something about it?
Right. I'll just leave you alone, then.
I was just about to drop it off.
What's it worth to you?
Too bad. I've decided I want it for myself.
Tough talk. Care to back it up with action?
I'll take care of it before I leave.
Not yet.
I've heard Opold has something for you.
I was on my way to deliver it.
Yes, but I haven't picked up his cargo yet.
Sorry. I told him I'd do this for him.
Interesting. But exactly how much is this worth to you?
I'll take it.
You and I are both professionals. You know this is worth more than that.
If you want to see more of the package than me beating you with it, make a serious offer.
Deal. Pleasure doing business with you.
Not good enough. I'll take it to Opold.
An intriguing offer. Perhaps you'll see me again soon.
I'll consider your offer.
I am. I thought it would be better to deal with you directly.
No, but I could be.
I'll leave you to your drink.
What's that you're drinking?
Nothing. Sorry to bother you.
Kairastirling Dialog6 lines
You have me at a disadvantage, Miss...?
Do you plan on making me leave?
No, I'm not. Are you?
I didn't want to fight them. They fired first.
If you want a fight, I'll give you one.
I have a mission to complete. I did what I had to.
Lilihierax Dialog20 lines
Vehicle repairs, of course.
Just passing through.
We managed to catch up with that asari Matriarch.
Would you believe... rachni?
Sorry, I really can't talk about it.
It's a long story. Just thinking about it makes me tired all over.
He was corrupt.
That was an Internal Affairs investigator working for the Executive Board.
Why do you ask?
What do you do here?
You seem like you have an ear to the ground. What's happening around here?
Do you know where that Matriarch is now?
What sort of problems are there at Peak 15?
What was that about Synthetic Insights?
How can I get into the garage?
Maybe you could let me borrow yours?
I have to go.
Yeah, that's me.
Who's asking?
Uh, what?
Lorikquiin Dialog70 lines
What are you doing in here?
You're the administrator now?
I guess you won't be testifying.
About your evidence...
Not so fast. You promised to pay me if I recovered this evidence.
I suppose that's true.
We had a contract, Mr. Qui'in. I'd hate to think you run the sort of business that breaks contracts when it's convenient.
Really? Because I was wondering how the Board would feel about you wiretapping their administrator.
I love wasting my time.
Then our business is concluded.
Not yet. I need to speak to my contact.
I've decided to give you the evidence after all.
If you haven't changed your mind, I'll leave.
The job is done.
Mr. Qui'in, I should have turned that evidence in to the proper authorities. You could be more grateful.
An Internal Affairs investigator contacted me. She wants you to testify against Anoleis.
Very fair. Good luck, Mr. Qui'in.
Listen, I just saved you from a nasty prison shower scene. Exercise that corporate credit account.
Not as fair as it could be, but it'll do.
That will be sufficient.
I finished the job. But an Internal Affairs investigator contacted me. She wants you to testify against Anoleis.
I had to ask. If you're not willing, here's the evidence.
Everyone on this station is chafing under Anoleis' extortion. You might end up a hero.
If necessary, yes. Do what I tell you to, or Anoleis will find what he's looking for.
You know it's in your best interest to get rid of Anoleis. Here's the evidence.
I'll be back later. You should reconsider.
Not yet.
Anoleis has your evidence now.
He might be corrupt, but he's still the legal authority here.
You refused to testify. Obviously, you hate justice, and deserve this.
I don't need to explain myself to you.
He gave me what I needed, but with more money.
I've been thinking over your difficulties with Anoleis.
Could you describe the problems again?
Are you Lorik Qui'in? I've heard you might be able to help me.
I'm trying to find a way into the garage. I have places to go.
What makes you think I'm a Spectre?
I'm Commander Shepard of the Systems Alliance Navy.
Did you see an asari Matriarch recently?
Is it so unusual to see a Matriarch?
Armed commandos were allowed on Noveria?
Do you know why Benezia is here?
I have a different question.
I need to get up to Peak 15.
Are you referring to the blizzard?
I heard that there was an accident.
Don't play me. There was an accident.
The administrator won't give us garage access.
Who might you be?
Having some trouble with your office?
Taking a three-martini lunch?
"For the moment?"
I sense a connection there.
Skip to the part where you tell me what you want, and what you'll give me for it.
I fail to see how this gets me into the garage.
By "rents," you mean bribes for Anoleis.
You have a plan?
How did you get a pass?
Why didn't Anoleis cancel your pass clearance?
I'll consider your offer.
That sounds like a fair trade.
So if I help you, you'll help me?
How did you get this evidence?
What would you do if you got the evidence?
A sad tale. Best of luck with that.
Is there anything I can do?
If I have to kill the guards, I'm afraid I can't help you. They're still the law around here.
If he's paying them under the table, they're mercenaries. I can kill mercenaries.
I'll focus on trying to get your evidence. If I'm lucky, I won't have to fight anyone.
I should let you go.
Maeko Matsuo Dialog35 lines
"Unfortunate?" He was a criminal, Captain.
It doesn't matter if you approve or not.
It doesn't sound like you disapprove of his actions.
I don't intend to make life difficult for anyone.
Do what you have to do, Captain. I'll do the same.
I'd like to give that promise, but I can't predict what I may have to do in the future.
You know. Spectre business.
I've tried to keep myself busy.
You know the expression "need-to-know basis?" You don't need to know.
That was me, actually.
No innocent people died in that office. They were there on Anoleis' orders, to protect his interests.
Anoleis bought them off. He had them ransacking the Synthetic Insights office for his own interests.
No, I'm afraid I wouldn't.
Some of your people died? My sympathies.
I don't generally get involved in that sort of thing.
Hypothetically speaking, what would you do?
Why do you ask?
There are guards everywhere. Are there that many problems here?
So you have to keep them from getting too eager.
Your job is preventing problems, not solving them.
Don't they have their own security forces?
Why are you still here? Are you guarding my ship?
Then you're actually protecting Normandy from the companies.
So you're waiting here in case he makes that decision.
I assure you my crew is quite capable of protecting our ship.
Tell me about yourself.
My crew and I were involved in Saren's raid on Eden Prime.
I'm a test case. The Council wants to see if humans are ready to rejoin them.
They're throwing humanity a bone to shut us up about the problems in the Traverse.
The Spectres like people well-versed in killing. That'd be me.
I'd prefer to not talk about it. No offense.
I'll be moving on.
No harm was done.
Embarrassed to be put in your place?
I can understand how that would make people here nervous.
Mallenecalis Dialog38 lines
I told Vargas what you put me up to.
You were breaking the law. By spying, and by bribing me. He'll be on guard against you now. That's worse than a slap-on-the-wrist fine, isn't it?
One corrupt corporation is as good as another to me. Next time, take your little games elsewhere.
He figured out I was playing him. I'm not taking the heat for you. No offense.
I don't need a reason. I'm a Spectre.
He figured out what I was up to, and left.
I wish I could have been more help.
Wait. What about my money?
I don't get any kind of reward for this?
Good luck with that.
Your toy did its job.
Only 500? All right. I thought you might have wanted to provide more. Since you couldn't do it yourself, I mean.
I could easily call Mr. Vargas and tell him what I just did.
A pleasure doing business with you. I'll be on my way.
That'll do nicely. I'll be going now.
I'm still working on Vargas.
Everything went as planned. You should see results soon.
I'm not going to help you. I've got other things to do.
Sorry. I shouldn't get involved in this. Here's your cracking device.
Now you're talking my language. I'll finish it.
All right. I guess I'm not that busy.
We'll talk later.
What did you want?
Do you know who I am?
I don't know anything about Binary Helix. What would I talk to Vargas about?
Strange people skulking in corners have gotten me in trouble before.
You think this uniform's just for show? My job is to enforce the law, not break it.
If I see them behaving badly, I'll shut them down. However I see fit. In the meantime, there's you. Trying to bribe a Spectre.
News reports and rumor take all the fun out of life. All right, I'm interested.
What they might be doing somewhere else doesn't justify my acting against them here.
No, I don't suppose they're clean, either.
What's in it for me?
Interesting plan. I'm in.
Tell me what you know about Vargas.
I'll go see him now.
I'll think about it.
He's right there. Why not talk to him yourself?
Whatever you need done, ask someone else. I'm busy.

I'm here as a customer.
Upset because I sold the package myself?
Fine, I'll go.
It slipped my mind. I'll get to it.
I'll get to it, I swear. Just slipped my mind is all.
Anoleis has the package. He offered a better deal.
I sold the package to Inamorda.
For what it's worth, I'm sorry. Dealing with Anoleis expedited my mission.
Find a legal way to make a living.
You were breaking the law. If a real police officer had caught you, you'd be in jail for years.
I find it hard to sympathize with a smuggler.
Here you are.
Would you have had any chance of getting this past customs without me? You can be a bit more generous.
That's thoughtful of you.
If that's the best you can do, fine.
It'll have to do.
You're trying to make me laugh. You think I'm here to amuse you. To make funny sputtering noises when you offer an insult instead of a reward.
250, huh? The hanar government is communistic, right?
That sounds reasonable.
I'm here to shop. We can discuss this later.
Change of plans. I've decided to keep it myself.
I've been busy. I'll pick it up later.
I haven't picked it up yet.
I'll be back later, then.
All right, I'll help.
I'm just browsing right now.
News travels fast here.
You want me to use my status to smuggle for you.
I'm supposed to uphold the law, not break it.
Tell me about the job again.
Could I buy something now?
I'll be leaving now.
I want to know where this "package" is going.
All right. I wouldn't want to get you into trouble.
I'd be stupid to do this without knowing that I'm not equipping my own enemies.
Your customer would prefer to have his package. Tell me who it's for, or I walk out.
Only cowards remain anonymous. I don't have to worry about a coward.
Deniability. He's not stupid, then. Good.
I won't carry anything if I don't know what it is.
I have no problem with that.
Maybe later. Right now, I need supplies.
I'll think about it and get back to you.
Sure, whatever. This is a store, right?

Mr. Vargas? Commander Shepard, Systems Alliance Military. I understand you work for Binary Helix?
Mr. Vargas? I'm Commander Shepard, a Spectre. I understand you work for Binary Helix?
Actually, I wanted to warn you. An agent of the Aramali Council hired me to break into your network. She gave me this.
I might be. That depends on what sort of offer your company can make.
It's customary to perform minor genetic upgrades upon enlistment. I've been assigned to see what BH has to offer.
I'm sure you know that we pass a new budget every fiscal year. If it delivers a better soldier, contracts can change.
Mr. Vargas, I'm here to talk business with you. If you'd rather speculate on politics, I can visit another gen-eng firm.
Is it possible to deaden pain somehow?
I've never heard of a technique that improves zero-gravity endurance.
MarsGene's clotting enhancement improves speed by 16%.
Those aren't very large improvements. I suppose every little bit helps.
I'll make sure that's in my report. The bean-counters back at HQ can figure out the details. You know what I'm saying?
How would you distribute the upgrades? Retroviral injections would take some time.
That's the commercial price, for individual purchasers. I'm offering you millions of jobs, Mr. Vargas. That's worth more than some stock sensory upgrades.
Are you sure that's the best price you can offer?
Does Binary Helix have any less-than-above-board projects? I'll keep my source confidential.
If you have any tips, I'd appreciate them. It would reflect well on you and Binary Helix.
If they don't get in my face, I'm not going to dig them out. I'm not here for a random spot-check.
I wear a lot of hats, Mr. Vargas. Some days I shut down criminals. Some days I defuse nukes. Some days I like to enjoy private vices. You understand me?
I'll level with you. I was hired to break into your network. An agent of the Aramali Council gave me this.
Are you calling me a liar, Mr. Vargas?
Maybe I'm personally interested. Ever consider that?
Sounds like my crew needs me for something. I'll be in touch.
I'm sorry, Mr. Vargas. That's a call I have to take. Thank you for your time.
I'm sorry, I have a call coming through. Would you excuse me a moment?
I can see you're not interested in discussing business right now. I'll come back later.
Just passing by.

I told Anoleis that Gianna was Internal Affairs. I thought it would pressure him into helping me.
Beats me. I just got here myself.
Anoleis asked Gianna to see him in his office. Then there were gunshots.
I only heard an argument and shots fired.
I was out by Gianna's desk. I didn't see any of it.
By the time I got in the door, it was already over.

What'll you do if I don't?
What are you doing in these offices?
I'm going in there, and I don't want to hurt you. Why don't you just go? We'll pretend this never happened.
Anoleis is paying you to shake this place down. Does Captain Matsuo know you're here?
Anoleis is paying you to shake this place down. That makes you a criminal. I can kill criminals.
I don't have time for this. Get the hell out of here, or I'll start shooting.
Stand aside, kid. Unlike most people you face, we're armed.
Liara T'Soni Dialog6 lines
No, I don't. I trust you, Liara. You may not be military, but you're part of my crew.
No, we don't. Humans have an expression: "Blood is thicker than water".
We talked about her before. But things change when you're up against something. If it's her or me, who would you shoot?
I hope so. I accept your word, Liara. Let's get going.
Pretty words, but I can't take the risk. Report back to the Normandy.
I don't think that's likely. But you can try.
Ice Hmf Mira Dialog38 lines
Tell me what happened here.
What's the status of Rift Station?
The staff is alive, then?
Why is Rift Station locked down?
If it's locked down, will I be able to enter?
Why were you taken offline?
They kill you if something goes wrong?
Tell me what occurred immediately before you shut down.
What sort of "contaminants" escaped?
The creatures we've encountered here. Did they come from the labs?
I need instructions on how to repair the station.
Give me a status report on the hot labs.
You have no idea what's going on inside?
Give me an overview of the facility.
You're the virtual intelligence that runs this place?
How do I shut this thing up?
Help would be great. Who are you?
Commander Shepard. I work for the Citadel's Special Tactics and Reconnaissance.
Commander Shepard, Systems Alliance Navy.
I need to find Matriarch Benezia.
What's the situation here?
I need a status report. What systems are down?
Do you know why the reactor was shut down?
What do I need to do to get the power back on?
What are the landlines, and why are they disabled?
How do I reconnect the landlines?
What's this about loose contaminants?
How do I activate the failsafe system?
What would it take to get the decon failsafes operating again?
Unlock the decontamination chamber.
Override. Open the doors now.
How do I get rid of the contaminants?
I don't have time for this. Override and open the doors.
What's the problem?
You won't let us through decon?
That's all I need right now.
Why do you need to know?
Why do you look like a librarian?
Alestiaiallis Dialog12 lines
Tell me about yourself.
Did I interrupt something?
No need to be so rude.
You're a member of the science teams?
What do you do here?
That's a bit technical for me.
Think you could translate that into galactic?
You seem less upset at this situation than the others.
Do you know Matriarch Benezia?
Benezia passed through here. You didn't see her?
That's all for now.
Sorry, I'll leave.
Hanolar Dialog23 lines
I won't let anything happen. Why did she try to kill you?
I need you to listen to me. Are you listening? What happened here?
They're killing the science team. Why?
Let's go collect the lady.
Just point me in the right direction.
You mean the ge-- the inorganics the asari had with her?
That door's locked. How can I get in?
Who came out of what?
I need to know more about those things out there.
Where did they come from?
The krogan wiped them out a thousand years ago.
You're involved in this. What can you tell me?
I need to know everything about the rachni.
Could Matriarch Benezia survive in the hot labs?
I heard you were at the hot labs. How did you make it out alive?
Tell me what you know. I'll make your survival mean something.
The only thing you could do was save yourself.
If you hadn't, you'd be dead, too.
How can I get into the maintenance area?
I'll be leaving now.
You mean those things out there?
Are you trying to be cryptic, or are you just nuts?
And you would be?
Julethventralis Dialog49 lines
It looked like you could handle it.
If you need my help for a probing attack, this place is doomed.
I don't know what you're talking about.
You ever heard of keeping a reserve?
I've heard about the problems in the quarantine lab. I'd like to recover the toxin cure.
We're not part of your defense plans. We're consuming extra rations, extra medi-gel...
If we survive, your employers will want a report from me. I wonder how much insurance they have on those scientists?
Dr. Cohen says there's no risk of contamination.
Those are reasonable precautions.
Great. We'll be stuck unless he decides we're healthy.
If that's the only way you'll let us in, I agree.
I need to know more about the situation in the hot labs.
Did the aliens come from inside the facility, or did they attack from outside?
Tell me about the structure of the hot labs.
Tell me about Rift Station.
Tell me about the defenses here.
Sorry. I didn't mean to pry.
I was just impressed with your operation. Being able to weather a week of assaults is no mean feat.
I just wanted to offer some deployment advice. You're lucky these things are dumb animals. Three coordinated guys could take this place.
Automated defenses can be overriden.
Maybe I was wrong.
Nothing is ever secure enough. But I don't plan on testing it personally.
I'll keep out of your hair.
What kind of research is done here?
What can you tell me about the aliens?
How are your people holding up?
You're certain the Matriarch is still in the hot labs?
I was attacked by the asari who was in here. She killed your guard.
I've got work to do.
I'd only be upset if they had fired.
Can those things work a train's controls?
I take it you've encountered those things.
I'd do the same. What's going on here?
My name's Shepard. I'm a Spectre.
Call me Shepard. I was sent to find an asari Matriarch.
Commander Shepard, Systems Alliance Navy. My crew came up from Hanshan.
You were taken by surprise and had civilians to protect. You did a good job, Captain.
I'm packing fire and steel. They want to fight with claws and teeth, it's their funeral.
We've never seen anything like them. What do you know?
I'm not going to let any of your people die.
I've got business with her. Stay out of my way.
Benezia. Is she still over there?
I've always had enough to fall back on.
Only people with no skill need luck.
All the heroes from Skyllia got shipped home in coolers.
Want me to autograph your gun?
I see a problem, I take care of it. That's the job I signed up for.
Then stow the pleasantries and give me a sitrep.
We can talk later. What's the situation?
Matriarch Dialog30 lines
Hold on. We've got medi-gel, maybe we can--
First you turn on the Council, now on Saren. You're not loyal to anything, are you?
You're free of the "indoctrination" again?
The rachni didn't cooperate with you. Why should I?
I expected better from asari commandos.
Start talking, Benezia. What's Saren's next move?
So you could turn on me again.
Why are you able to break free of his control now?
You chose to join with Saren. You just got more than you bargained for.
We met Shiala on Feros. She told us about Sovereign's indoctrination.
How can he compel you? He's not even here.
Are you saying he brainwashed you?
Sovereign's not like other ships. Where did it come from?
The ship that attacked Eden Prime? I didn't think anything that size could land on a planet.
What do you mean?
Someone on Noveria found it?
How does something that big go missing?
Can I assume you found the coordinates?
You can still make it right. Give me the information.
Why does Saren need the Mu relay?
How did the rachni find it?
Tell me where the Mu gate is before I lose my temper.
You have to give me the location.
Liara's here because she wants to be. Not because I asked her to.
I have no idea what you're talking about, and I don't care.
Liara's here because she's a member of my crew.
I can't believe you'd kill your own daughter.
We don't have to fight. You can return to the Citadel with us.
You won't look so smug with a hole in your head.
There's obviously no peaceful way to settle this.
Medbot Dialog5 lines
Think you could run that equipment for us?
What's wrong with these people?
What treatments have been attempted?
What are you doing over here?
We don't need anything right now.
Palon Dialog9 lines
What do you do here?
There was an accident here?
What sort of work do you do here?
You're not happy on Peak 15?
What do you know about the hot labs?
Is he in the medical ward?
How are you holding up?
I'm looking for an asari.
I'll talk to you later.
Petozi Dialog7 lines
I'll see you later.
I heard there were some problems up here.
It seems I've been caught up in events.
I was sent here to find an asari Matriarch.
Let's have a look.
Given the situation, you should freely contribute to the defense.
This doesn't seem like the time for commerce.
Quarantine Guard Dialog5 lines
Nothing. Sorry to bother you.
Call me Shepard. I'm a Spectre, sent by the Citadel.
I have Ventralis' permission to go in there.
My name's Shepard.
Commander Shepard, Systems Alliance Navy.
Rachniqueen Dialog23 lines
Musics? What?
Who am I speaking to here?
We filled you with enough plasma to pop a tank.
How are you speaking through her?
I didn't come here to talk to bugs.
The krogan wiped the rachni out a thousand years ago.
Did you order your people to kill the science team?
If you're sure they can't be saved.
I don't understand. Why are your children killing people?
I'm more than willing to wipe them out.
All right. I don't think they'll give me a choice anyway.
Are you a survivor from the war? A clone?
If I let you live, would you attack other races again?
You could have calmed them if I hadn't set off the purge?
Make your peace with the galaxy. The rachni are a dead race.
No. I can't do this. I'll let you go free.
This time, stay dead!
I won't destroy your entire race. You'll go free.
Maybe you've been blinded by old war stories.
Are we any better if we kill them all?
You're right. I can't let the queen live.
I'd like to have the rachni on our side in the future.
"Their kind?" Interesting choice of words, Chief.
Talinsomaai Dialog43 lines
They don't look much better.
Good news. I'll see you around.
That asari scientist -- the one in the mess hall -- she just tried to kill us.
I was ambushed in the lab you sent me to. If you set me up...
I think so. It was hard to concentrate while dodging gunfire.
What about the maintenance area? Do you have access to that?
Thanks for the warning. Here's the cure.
Could you spare a few medical packs? They're worth their weight in gold up here.
And I almost lost mine. "Thanks" is all I get? We need to be at peak to fight those aliens. Give us some medi-gel.
Only as a means to an end, Doctor. I have a mission to complete.
That's what I'm here for. Forget about it.
Somebody in here needs a punch in the throat.
What will it take to get the cure for these people?
What happened to these people?
Suit yourself.
But you're going to, because I might be able to help.
We reactivated her on our way through Central Station.
You should consider doing safer experiments.
Makes sense. She seems to regulate everything else up here.
If you made it, you must have an idea how to cure it.
I understand your caution, but I need details. What you say won't go beyond these walls.
I need full cooperation if I'm going to help. Do you want these people to live? If not, I'll walk out of here.
There's a reason the Citadel Conventions forbid bioweapons, Doctor.
You made this, but can't cure it? Don't you people take notes?
Is there a cure, Doctor? A treatment?
Congratulations. You made an illegal bioweapon. You think to make a cure for it?
But you don't have an antidote?
I want access to the maintenance area.
Is he right to keep people out?
I'll talk to Ventralis for you, but I don't have the training for that.
I'll talk to him. Maybe I can convince him to let me try.
Are you the doctor here?
How is the science team holding up?
I need to get into the maintenance areas.
I have reason to believe something's hidden back there. I need your help, Doctor.
Things are going to hit the fan in this place. Slip me the card and I'll keep your team safe.
I'm going to get back there one way or another. This place doesn't need more holes blown in it.
Doctor, even an elcor could tell this crew is hiding something. Why don't you want me back there?
What would change your mind about that?
Talk to you later.
I didn't mean to bother you.
I've had a long day. Don't piss me off.
Were they attacked by the aliens?
Trig04 Lab Ambush Dialog5 lines
You're a sleeper agent for Benezia.
What happened to Ventralis' man?
She's surrounded by geth and pointing a gun at us. Shoot her!
I thought you were a scientist.
You're the asari from the mess hall.
Trig09 Assault Complete Dialog3 lines
I'll do whatever I can.
We're all in the same boat.
They always attack here? It's an obvious killzone.
Trig11 Lab Sealed Dialog6 lines
Could you open the door?
Don't "what" me, mister. Open the damn door.
Of course.
You have a hearing problem? Let me out.
Not yet.
Just looking around.
Mira Dialog14 lines
What's the status of the facility?
Is there an asari here?
How many rachni are in here?
How many of those things are in here?
Give me your best guess.
Are there any survivors in here?
Activate the neutron purge.
Code input: 875-020-079. Code Omega local execution.
Uh, sic semper tyrana--[cough]
Who would have the code?
How do I arm it?
I need information on the neutron purge.
What exactly does this thing do?
We're moving on.
Tartakovsky Dialog29 lines
Is there anything we can do for you?
I need the purge code, Tartakovsky.
You don't look good.
How are you holding up?
If by "secure" you mean "shoot every monster I see," sure.
Mira said there was a "Tartakovsky" in here.
That's right, I'm a Council Spectre. Who're you?
You let these things out?
Wait. Is there an asari Matriarch here?
I understand that we'll be dead soon. Talk fast.
I don't understand anything yet. What were you doing here?
A thousand-year-old egg hatched?
Rachni? The krogan wiped them out a thousand years ago.
They should've destroyed it. Why hatch it?
They brought it here to wake it up?
Obviously, they were wrong.
Hold on. Don't you need a male to get eggs?
Separating them from their mother didn't work.
We'll take care of her later.
I didn't see her when I was there.
Then all we need to do is bring her here.
Are you telling me I shouldn't kill these things?
This is fascinating, but we don't have time to chat.
Just wait here.
Once the purge is armed we'll have to fight our way out. Give us a minute to patch up and rearm.
I'm not familiar with the purge system.
I don't have time for this.
I don't have time for this. If the Matriarch isn't here, we're leaving.
How do we set off the purge?
Sal Captainkirrahe Dialog45 lines
Are you in charge here? What's the situation?
That's just great. What now?
What are we supposed to do in the meantime?
We couldn't understand your transmission. They sent me to investigate.
Is he here? Have you seen him?
What's Saren researching?
What's so important about curing this genophage?
The geth are bad enough. But a krogan army... he'd be almost unstoppable.
He'll be fine. I'll talk to him.
Don't worry about it, Captain.
Go ahead, Captain. I'll come back soon.
Don't be long, Captain. Time is not on our side.
You think I should go talk to him?
Wrex doesn't worry me. He'll fall in line.
I'll be careful. But be ready... just in case.
Just drop it. He'll be fine.
We couldn't have gotten this far without him. We owe him a decent burial.
He betrayed me. Leave his body here to rot.
I assume that means you've come up with a plan.
Where do we take the nuke? And how do we get there?
It does sound a bit risky. Is there no other way?
Good. I prefer a straight fight anyway.
We won't be able to meet their force head on.
It's a good idea, but your people are going to get slaughtered.
I just hope you survive long enough to be useful.
We'll need someone who knows Alliance communication protocols.
You expect me to commit one of my people to your command?
I don't make a habit of placing my people under someone else's command.
Who would be better suited to the mission?
This is my decision, not yours!
Alenko, you're with the captain. Keep it simple, understood?
Williams, you'll accompany the captain. No heroics, understood?
Give me a quick rundown of the plan again.
The Normandy's picking me up. How will your teams escape the blast?
You talk like this is a suicide mission.
Shadow seems clear enough. What will the other teams be called?
I want to know more about the bomb. How reliable is it going to be?
Let's do this.
Is there something you want to say, Chief?
Is there something you wanted to say, Kaidan?
It doesn't matter if we're not in the same unit, we're still a team. Watch each other's backs, keep your eyes open and fight like I know you can. We'll all come out of this in one piece.
It's a dangerous situation. Keep your eyes open and be ready for anything.
Whatever happens, everyone just keep shooting. We go in hard, hit 'em harder, and we'll be the only damn thing that comes out the other side!
I'm ready when you are, Captain.
I need a few more moments to prepare.
Sal Comstore Dialog5 lines
Just tell me what you have available.
Your request never came through. We'll just have to make do.
I should go.
I've been trying to warn the Council about Saren since this started.
Let me see what you have.
Trig Wrex Killed Dialog11 lines
No. I'm not. I can't believe he'd turn on us.
I just couldn't reason with him. He wasn't going to let us take out the base.
He just proved to us why this place needs to be completely destroyed.
I'm feeling a hell of a lot better than he is.
I'm fine. Now let's move on.
What took you so long?
Thanks, Chief. He just wasn't going to listen to reason.
All right. We're done here.
Why the hell did you do that? I was still talking to him.
You did what you had to. I just wish I could've reasoned with him.
That's not your call. Never do that again. Understood?
Trigger Dialog1 line
Stay out of range and continue evasive maneuvers until I bring those AA towers down.
Urdnot Wrex Dialog14 lines
I understand you're upset. But we both know Saren's the enemy here. He's the one you should be angry with.
Calm down, Wrex. I'm not the enemy here. Saren's the one you should be mad at.
This has to be done. Saren's the enemy, not me.
I shouldn't have to explain that to you, Wrex.
This isn't a cure, it's a weapon. And if Saren is allowed to use it, you won't be around to reap the benefits. None of us will.
I don't care what your personal feelings are. This base gets destroyed.
Wrex, these krogan are not your people. They're slaves of Saren. Tools. Is that what you want for them?
All you need to know is that I'm giving you an order to fall in line.
unh
Wrex, please. We can discuss this.
hmph
These krogan are slaves of Saren. Puppets, tools to be used and discarded. Is that what you want for your people?
Saren doesn't care about these krogan. They're tools, puppets. He'll destroy them as soon as they're no longer useful to him. Is that what you want for your people?
I can't let you jeopardize the mission.
Captain Kirrahe Dialog2 lines
Loud and clear.
It's fine. Let's move.
Kro Docdroyas Dialog2 lines
You're breeding an army of slaves! Tools to be manipulated. What glory is there in that?
Take him down.
Sal Prisoner Dialog9 lines
I disposed of the indoctrinated slaves. It's too dangerous to leave them alive.
It was just some of Saren's people who didn't know when to quit.
It was me ensuring I don't get shot in the back by a mindless idiot.
Everyone here is indoctrinated. You might be working for Saren.
The transmission wasn't clear. The fleet is not coming.
Do you know anything about the experiments they were conducting?
I'm opening your cell, but then you're on your own.
If I let you out, how do I know you won't just attack me?
Sorry, I can't take that chance. I'm not opening your cell.
Sal Psyrana Dialog12 lines
I'm not going to hurt you. Who are you?
Let's hear it. Who are you and what do you want?
Everyone in this place is trying to kill me.
I thought this was a breeding facility.
Give me one reason I should help you.
What were you studying here?
Tell me more about this signal.
What do you mean by "collateral damage"?
Why is Saren researching this? Isn't he the one controlling it?
You conducted brutal experiments on helpless test subjects. You helped Saren. You don't get to live.
Sorry doesn't help your victims.
I'm going to blow this place to hell and gone. If you want to make it out alive, you'd better start running.
Slv Fanatic01 Dialog9 lines
Slow down, I need to know where you came from.
Nobody is going anywhere until I get some answers.
What did they do to you, soldier?
Can you help me, or will I be carrying you out of here?
If we don't let him out, he's as good as dead. We have to do something.
He's not part of the mission.
Setting him free could endanger the mission.
Set him free. He could help us.
I can't take that chance.
Slv Mindless01 Dialog7 lines
Open the doors. Give them a chance to outrun the blast.
Let them out. They won't hurt us.
Open the doors and I'll finish them off.
Leave them. Let's get moving.
Better to die than to live like this.
I don't leave loose ends.
Never mind, then. Just leave them.
Sovereign Dialog14 lines
Hit me, Joker.
Lay it on me, Joker. I love bad news.
We'll head for the the breeding facility. Time to blow this place to hell.
Let's head to the breeding facility. Joker can pick us up after we set the nuke.
Sovereign isn't just some Reaper ship Saren found. It's an actual Reaper!
There is an entire galaxy of races united and ready to face you.
Whatever your plan is, it's going to fail. I'll make sure of that.
Why would you construct the mass relays, then leave them for someone else to find?
Where did you come from? Who built you?
Where are the rest of the Reapers? Are you the last of your kind?
What do you want from us? Slaves? Resources?
You're not even alive. Not really. You're just a machine. And machines can be broken!
Ungh!
Huh-huh.
Trigger Dialog3 lines
Williams can take a few more. Minimize the guard presence in the base.
Just disable the alarms. We can handle any guards inside.
Alenko can take a few more. Minimize the guard presence in the base.
Choice Dialog17 lines
Can you hold them off?
Hold on, Lieutenant. I'm coming back to get you.
Alenko, what are you doing?
What the hell are you doing, Alenko?
Williams, radio Joker and tell him to meet us on the AA tower.
Alenko, radio Joker and tell him to meet us at the bomb site.
Hold on, Chief. I'm coming back to get you.
What are you doing, Chief?
What the hell are you doing, Williams?
Williams, radio Joker and tell him to meet us at the bomb site.
Fight hard, Lieutenant. Die proud.
Stay alive. I'll be coming to get you too, Kaidan.
I'm sorry, Kaidan. I had to make a choice.
Alenko, radio Joker and tell him to meet us on the AA tower.
Fight hard, Chief. Die proud.
Stay alive. I'll be coming to get you too, Ash.
I'm sorry, Ash. I had to make a choice.
Saren Dialog19 lines
Why are you doing this?
This isn't complicated. You'll do anything to get power. Even joining with the Reapers!
Sovereign and its kind destroyed the Protheans! What else is there to understand?
I'd rather die than live under the rule of those machines!
Do you really believe the Reapers will let us live?
You're afraid Sovereign is influencing you. You're afraid he's controlling your thoughts.
You're like every other poor bastard in this place. A tool Sovereign can use, then cast aside.
Tell me why Sovereign needs the Conduit. Tell me what it is. Maybe we can find a way to stop them.
Sovereign's manipulating you and you don't even know it! You're already under its power!
Together we can stop Sovereign. We don't have to submit to the Reapers. We can beat them!
Don't you see? You're just a tool. Sovereign's using you. In the end you'll be tossed aside with all the rest.
Why are the geth following Sovereign?
You were a Spectre. You were sworn to defend the galaxy. Then you broke that vow to save yourself!
I'm not like you. I'd rather die fighting than live as a slave.
Rrgh. Grrk.
Ah... Huhhh.. [cough]
Rahh!
No one gets left behind. We're going after the lieutenant.
No one gets left behind. We're going after Williams.
Trigger Dialog7 lines
Get that nuke off-loaded and over to the thermal taps.
The nuke is almost ready. Get to the rendezvous point, Williams!
The nuke is almost ready, Lieutenant. Get to the rendezvous point!
Get them out of there, Joker. Now!
Hold tight. We're coming to get you.
Up to the AA tower. Move!
You keep that nuke safe!
Asariscientist Dialog23 lines
We used the mining laser to bore through.
We have to get you out of here before more geth arrive.
We blasted through with the mining laser.
If she was with Saren, the geth wouldn't be trying to kill her.
How did you end up stuck in there?
Any idea how I can get past this barrier curtain?
Your mother works for Saren. Whose side are you on?
I'll find a way to get you out.
I'm real, and I'm getting you out of there.
We're here to save your sorry ass. So snap out of it.
We're real enough. Stay calm. I'll get you out of there.
It doesn't matter what you think. I'm getting you out of there.
My name is Shepard. The Office of Special Tactics and Recon sent me.
Are you okay? What happened to you?
Quit shouting. This place is crawling with geth!
Liara T'Soni, I presume.
We just need to figure some way past this energy field.
How did you end up in there?
Your mother is working with Saren. Whose side are you on?
There's some kind of repulsion field in the way.
We'll find some way to help you.
You shouldn't have been messing with technology you don't understand.
Any suggestions on how we can help?
Trig03 Krogan Boss Dialog5 lines
In case you didn't notice, this place is falling apart.
We don't have time to deal with this idiot. Charge!
There a reason you're in my way?
She'll stay with us, thanks.
Is this really the time?
Trig04 Elevator Ride Dialog1 line
Joker! Get the Normandy airborne and lock in on my signal. On the double, mister!
Watcher Dialog2 lines
The message is all broken up, but I recognize some of the words. It's a warning against the Reaper invasion.
It said something about the Conduit, but it's too degraded to help. We should go.
Watcher Dialog39 lines
Are you some kind of artificial intelligence program?
Why did you bring me here?
Saren could be at the Conduit right now! We have to go!
How do the Reapers survive out in dark space?
How come nobody ever noticed the Citadel was an inactive mass relay?
If he turns on the relay, the Reapers can wipe out the Council and the Citadel fleet in one fell swoop!
The Reapers can wipe out the Council and the entire Citadel fleet in a single surprise attack!
The war was lost. If you had surrendered, they might have let you live.
Some of you must have managed to survive.
I don't understand. Where did the Reapers go after they conquered your people?
What do the Reapers get out of this? Why do they keep repeating this pattern of genocide over and over?
You said you brought me here for a reason. Tell me what I need to do.
How did you manage to stay hidden?
What happened next?
You should have fought!
How did you survive?
You couldn't let everyone die. Better to sacrifice some so others could live.
You were programmed to protect them! Not kill them!
I still don't understand what's going on here. Why is Saren trying to find the Conduit?
Aren't they under the influence of the Reapers?
Saren must have some plan to undo everything you did.
Saren can use the Conduit to bypass all the Citadel's external defenses.
Is there any way we can stop them?
I'll stop Saren. Just tell me how.
I'll take Sovereign down. Somehow.
So when the Reapers created the Citadel, they created the keepers as well?
Sovereign must have realized organic races were difficult to control.
If the Reapers are trapped in dark space, how did Sovereign get here?
Sovereign's the largest ship in the galaxy. Why all this secrecy? Why not just attack the Citadel?
The Reapers come from dark space? How do they even survive out there?
What about the beacon on Eden Prime? And the one on Virmire? What were they for?
You could have exposed yourself to the Reapers.
How come nobody noticed the Citadel is a giant mass relay?
What happened to the survivors from the Conduit Project?
Saren's got enough of a head start. Grab that data file and let's go!
It might know something useful.
I'm sorry, Liara. We have to stop Saren. Nothing else matters.
We're in a race to save the galaxy and you want to play Q and A with a hologram?
I've got the file. Come on.
Ash Dialog22 lines
Sounds like you're disappointed I survived.
I think we got off on the wrong foot, Williams. Maybe we could start again.
You have a problem with me, Chief?
We'd just lost a man. I didn't know you or your capabilities. It was a bad time to integrate you into the team.
Best way to stop that is to show me you're competent. But I don't remember inviting you to come back to the ship with us.
You're not assigned to this ship.
Jenkins was a valuable part of this crew.
You're a good soldier, Williams. You belong on the Normandy.
There's nothing special about me, Williams. Anyone would have done the same.
When your number comes up, it's over. His did.
Every time you kill, it gets a little easier.
I did what I had to do. You'd better be willing to do the same.
I survived because I refused to die.
Akuze was a bloodbath. Even now, I don't know how I survived. I guess it just wasn't my time.
Things were pretty rough down there. Are you okay?
We couldn't have done it without you, Williams.
I think you're going to fit in here just fine, Williams.
Everyone on this ship has to do his or her part, Williams. Remember that.
Dead marines. Dead colonists. And in the end, we still didn't get that beacon.
Thanks, Williams. I needed to hear that. I think you're going to fit in here just fine.
I'm not looking for a shoulder to cry on, Williams. Just stay focused on your job.
I need to go speak with Joker.
Captain David Anderson Dialog25 lines
I figured there was something you weren't telling us.
I already figured that out.
Is someone going to fill me in, Captain?
I don't like being kept in the dark, Captain.
There must be a reason you didn't tell me about this, sir.
What's the payload, Captain?
I thought the Protheans vanished 50,000 years ago.
What else can you tell me?
Why didn't we keep the beacon for ourselves?
It never hurts to have a few extra hands on board.
We can handle this on our own.
Are we expecting trouble?
Since when do we answer to the Spectres?
Guess that explains why I bump into him every time I turn around.
What's going on, Captain?
Why would a turian want a human in the Spectres?
I assume this is good for the Alliance.
Just tell me what I have to do.
I don't like people making decisions about my future.
Why is this beacon so important?
Like who?
The Attican Traverse is under Citadel protection. If the Terminus Systems attack, it's an act of war.
What do you know about the Protheans?
I'd like to know more about Eden Prime before we touch down.
Just give the word, Captain.
Comm Room Dialog8 lines
The captain said he'd meet me here.
What about?
They say it's a paradise.
I've never been there.
I'm a marine, not some tourist on vacation.
Do you know something?
If you've got something to say, just say it.
Are you trying to scare me, Spectre?
Doctor Dialog25 lines
How well do you know the lieutenant?
What does that have to do with it?
What kind of complications?
How did you end up serving on an Alliance ship?
Ever think you made the wrong choice?
What do you know about Captain Anderson?
I should go.
You need to calm down, Corporal. A good soldier stays cool, even under fire.
Marines are meant to fight. You just fix us up when we're done.
Only a fool goes looking for a fight, Corporal.
Just treat this like every other assignment you've had and everything will work out.
Do your job, follow my orders, and there won't be any problems.
You're young, Corporal. You have a long career ahead of you. Don't do something stupid to mess it up.
This mission isn't about personal glory, Corporal! We have a job to do. Don't do anything stupid to mess it up!
You're from Eden Prime, aren't you Jenkins? What's it like?
Any idea why Eden Prime was chosen as our destination?
What can you tell me about Nihlus?
What do you know about the Spectres?
How do you control agents with unlimited power?
Why don't we have any of our own people in there?
Fifty marines died there, Jenkins.
I try not to think about Akuze.
I didn't enjoy Torfan. I just did what I had to do.
Sounds like my kind of job.
The captain's waiting for me.
Engineer Dialog10 lines
I'll tell her to leave you alone.
I figured she'd be a real asset to the team.
Ambassador Udina made me take her along.
I want to know more about the Normandy.
What's so special about the Tantalus drive core?
Fill me in on the IES stealth system. How does it work, exactly?
There's no way for anyone to detect us?
Why doesn't it work with faster than light travel?
Where else have you served, Adams?
Carry on, Adams.
Jeff “Joker” Moreau Dialog6 lines
They don't send Spectres on shakedown runs.
You always expect the worst.
That's enough. You're soldiers. Act like it!
He sounds angry. Something must have gone wrong with the mission.
Great. You piss the captain off and now I'm going to pay for it.
I'm on my way.
Kaiden Dialog20 lines
Things were pretty rough down there.
I couldn't have done it without you.
Dead marines. Dead colonists. And in the end, we still didn't get that beacon.
There's nothing we could have done to save him.
Yeah... I wish I could've done something to save him.
You've got a good grasp of the situation. You a career man?
I was a regular Navy brat. I got a little more noteworthy than the folks expected.
I never met my parents. If they wanted to see me, they'd have contacted me after that mess a few years back.
My family were homesteaders on Mindoir. I'm the only one left. But I've moved beyond that.
Couldn't keep me out if you tried. Best way to explore the galaxy is behind a cannon.
The captain hopes the Ambassador can get an audience with the Council. Tell them what Saren's been up to.
If the captain thought you needed to know, he'd tell you.
The captain's briefing was confidential.
We'll talk another time. Make sure you're good to go for this meeting with the ambassador.
There's something big coming. I don't want anyone messing it up. You read me, Lieutenant?
Whatever's going on, the captain can handle it.
Any advice on how to act in front of an ambassador? I don't meet many politicians.
Keep your concerns in check. You don't want to get a rep for questioning orders.
We're headed for the Citadel. When we get done with business, you and I should work out a liberty rotation.
I need to go see Joker.
Landing Bay Dialog3 lines
We've got his back, Captain.
I don't like putting my life in the hands of a turian, sir.
Ready and able, sir!
Navigator Dialog23 lines
We're all on the same team here, Pressly.
I'm in charge here, Pressly. I decide if we have non-humans on this vessel.
How did you end up assigned to the Normandy?
How'd you end up on the Normandy?
Speak freely, Pressly. I want to know if you have a problem with non-humans.
Some people think asking for help is a sign of weakness. That's just being stupid and stubborn. No matter how strong you are, allies can make you stronger.
This is bigger than humanity. Saren's a threat to every species in the galaxy. And I'll welcome anyone who wants to help me bring him down.
Sounds like you don't trust our turian guest.
Info's on a need-to-know basis, Pressly. Just follow the orders you're given.
I'm on my way to give him a status update right now.
You think the Alliance brass is holding out on us?
I'll see if I can get some answers when I see him.
I overheard you before. Sounds like you don't trust our turian guest.
I was curious about a few things.
You don't trust Nihlus.
That was thirty years ago. You can't blame Nihlus for that.
Nihlus is no ordinary turian.
What do you know about the stealth systems?
For what?
A full crew makes sense. We need the extra hands in case anything goes wrong. And the Spectre is just here as an observer.
Do you have a problem with the captain?
I better head down and see the captain.
Carry on, Pressly.
Oculon Approach Dialog31 lines
Minor throbbing. Nothing serious. How long was I out?
Like the morning after shore leave. How long was I out?
How did I end up here? How long was I out?
I expect better of you, Lieutenant. You endangered the entire mission.
You had no way to know what would happen.
I expect better of my people, Williams. You endangered our entire mission.
Where's the beacon now? What happened to it?
I appreciate it.
I don't suppose it occurred to you that Eden Prime has medical facilities.
What's the damage, Doctor?
I saw-- I'm not sure what I saw. Death. Destruction. Nothing's really clear.
Intel dropped the ball, sir. We had no idea what we were walking into down there. That's why things went to hell.
I don't like soldiers dying under my command.
You said you needed to see me in private, Captain?
Chief Williams isn't part of the Normandy crew.
Did we leave Gunnery Chief Williams back on Eden Prime?
Williams is a good soldier. She deserves it.
I don't want her on my ship.
I'll live.
I didn't do anything wrong, Captain. Hopefully, the Council can see that.
The Council can kiss my ass. I won't let them blame me for losing the beacon. I didn't do anything wrong.
The geth would have wiped out the whole colony if I hadn't stopped them.
Why?
He didn't come to Eden Prime because he hates humans.
Just before I lost consciousness, I had some kind of vision.
I saw synthetics. Geth, maybe. Slaughtering people. Butchering them.
They'll think I'm crazy!
What are we going to tell them? I had a bad dream?
I'll find some way to take him down.
When have they ever done anything for humanity?
We prove Saren's gone rogue and the Council will revoke his Spectre status.
Caleston Done Dialog46 lines
We don't have a moment. Snap out of it and tell me what you saw!
Did the vision make any sense to you?
What about the Conduit?
If nobody's ever been there, how did you recognize Ilos from my visions?
How do you lose a mass relay?
I have the coordinates for the Mu Relay.
The Conduit's on Ilos. That's where Saren is heading. I plan to be waiting when he gets there!
Are you saying it's hopeless?
You sure you didn't come across any kind of clue or hint? Something we might have missed?
Looks like we're back where we started.
What's our next move?
Joker pulled our asses out of there. I think he's earned the right to a few bad jokes.
Sometimes Joker's a real ass. Just try to ignore him.
It's a coping mechanism. You'll get used to it.
How old are you, exactly?
I've got my own theory about why the Protheans disappeared.
Did your research turn up anything interesting?
Where'd you come up with this theory? I thought there wasn't any evidence.
If the Protheans weren't the first, then who was?
Get to the point.
What cycle? What are you talking about?
They were wiped out by a race of sentient machines. The Reapers.
You're not much of an expert, Doctor. The answer's been standing in front of you the whole time. The Protheans were wiped out by a race of machines. The Reapers.
They were wiped out by the Reapers, a race of sentient machines.
There was a damaged Prothean beacon on Eden Prime. It burned a vision into my brain. I'm still trying to sort out what it all means.
You can still help us, Liara. Saren's looking for the Conduit. We need to find it first.
There's a rogue Spectre out there looking to destroy the galaxy! So quit whining and help me stop him, or I'll drop your ass back in that volcano!
There's no time for this. Saren's out there. Looking for the Conduit. I need you to help me find him.
Make it fast. Time's a-wasting.
Do it. Hurry. We don't have much time.
It's just a bunch of random images. Even after I got the Cipher.
She said it would help me understand my visions. But they still don't make sense.
The Cipher altered my perception of the visions. But it's subtle. I still can't make sense of what I'm seeing.
What do you have in mind?
I'll do whatever it takes to stop Saren.
Nobody's messing with my head any more! I'm sick of dealing with these visions!
Looks like I don't have a choice.
It's worth a shot.
I don't know why Saren wanted you out of the picture. But I think we'll be a lot better off if we bring you along.
Looks like we wasted our time here.
Good to have you on the team, Liara.
We've already got every other non-human species on board. Might as well add an asari to the team.
We can talk again after you've seen the doctor. The rest of you... dismissed!
Go see the doctor. The rest of you... dismissed!
Patch them through, Joker.
Don't bother.
Caleston Report Dialog8 lines
It won't happen again, Councilor.
You've had a chance to look over the files?
Don't tell me how to do my job!
Sorry, Councilor.
I don't need this.
Liara's on our side. The geth were trying to kill her.
The geth were crawling all over those ruins. We were lucky to make it out alive.
We almost died in there! The geth were everywhere!
Confrontation Dialog21 lines
I'll go talk with her in a while. Give her a chance to cool down.
Ash is pretty tough. She'll be fine.
I'll go talk with him in a while. Give him a chance to cool down.
Kaidan's a marine. He'll be fine.
I'll go talk with her in a while and see how she's doing.
That's a surprise. A second ago, you seemed ready to break her neck.
Liara's stronger than she looks. She'll be fine.
I'm surprised. You sounded so angry at me a minute ago.
Maybe we should try to work this out.
This isn't the time to talk about this.
I should've seen this coming.
But you're special to me, Kaidan.
You were right to tell me, Liara. I feel the same way.
Look, I never meant for you to get hurt. But Kaidan's the one I really care about.
I never meant for you to get hurt. But Liara's the one I really care about.
Why do I have to make a choice? Maybe the three of us could--
Both of you settle down. We can handle this like mature adults.
I love it when women fight over me!
I won't have my crew fighting!
You're special to me, Ash.
I never meant for you to get hurt. But Ash is the one I really care about.

What about the Conduit?
How come you never told us about Ilos before?
We have to get to Ilos!
The Conduit's on Ilos. That's where Saren is heading. I plan to be waiting when he gets there!
If nobody's ever been there, how did you recognize Ilos from my visions?
How do you lose a mass relay?
Are you saying it's hopeless?
You sure you didn't come across any kind of clue or hint? Something we might have missed?
You must have seen something.
Looks like we're back where we started.
What's our next move?
Are you sure it was the joining? I feel fine.
Dr. Chakwas should take a look at you.
We're done here. Dismissed.
The Cipher shook me up a bit.
My brain's been scrambled like an egg! How do you think I feel?
I just need some time to let this Cipher do its thing.
Nobody's messing with my head any more! I'm sick of dealing with these visions!
Make it fast. Time's a-wasting.
Do it. Hurry. We don't have much time.
She said it could take a while. I needed the Cipher. It's going to lead us to the Conduit. I'm just not sure how yet.
The Cipher's going to lead us to the Conduit. I'm just not sure how yet.
You're right. We've been on a wild goose chase this whole time.
Don't worry. We'll deal with her soon enough. Crew dismissed.
Patch them through, Joker.
Don't bother.
Feros Report Dialog15 lines
I lost my temper.
Don't piss me off and I won't disconnect you.
Did you get my file on Feros?
You need to back off and let me do my job!
Goodbye, Councilor.
You know it.
The Thorian liked to enslave minds. Anyone who studied it would've ended up as one of its thralls.
Exogeni tried to study it. Look how that turned out.
The only reason to study a creature like that is to figure out how to kill it.
The Thorian wasn't complicated. It enslaved and killed innocent civilians.
The Thorian enslaved and killed innocent civilians!
Being human had nothing to do with it. They were in trouble.
I never jeopardized the mission!
I would've saved the colony if I could. It didn't work out that way.
The mission comes first.
Ian Ferguson Dialog3 lines
Nothing to report, then?
I'll keep that in mind.
He'll stay in line.

Jeff “Joker” Moreau Dialog24 lines
Saren's still out there. Maybe we'll get a chance to play hide-and-seek with Sovereign.
We're not playing tag, Joker. If they catch us, Saren wins. And we're all dead.
I want to ask you some questions.
There is no right choice for something like that. I just hope I never have to go through it again.
Sometimes making the tough choice is the only way a mission can succeed.
There was no other choice. The mission is more important than one soldier.
Saren's still out there, Joker. Hold it together. We need you.
Saving my "boots" from burning lava is part of your job, Joker. We don't give medals to soldiers for doing their jobs.
If we present you with a medal, you'll end up sitting on stage listening to politicians make speeches for a couple hours.
I want to talk about something else.
Why does everyone call you Joker?
You're dodging the question.
I was just thinking how much you remind me of Santa Claus.
Why didn't you ever smile?
I need to know more about this Vrolik's Syndrome if I'm putting my ship in your hands.
I'm not trying to make you uncomfortable. Let's talk about something else.
You're not going to break a bone trying to fly the ship, are you?
I like to know my crew. Mind if I ask you a few questions?
I'm sorry, Joker. I didn't even know you were sick.
What are you talking about? Are you sick?
I can't have you on this ship if you're going to infect my crew!
How'd you end up joining the Alliance?
How's the Normandy performing? Is she everything they said she'd be?
I have to go.
Leaving Oculon Dialog17 lines
Saren's out there somewhere. And we're going to find him.
Captain Anderson should be the one in charge. It's like I'm stealing the ship from him.
This is Commander Shepard speaking.
This began with an attack on a human settlement in the Traverse.
For too long our species has stood apart from the others.
The Council wants to ignore this.
Our enemy knows we're coming.
Listen up, Normandy.
We all know what happened on Eden Prime.
Wherever Saren goes, we'll follow.
Crew, this is Commander Shepard.
Humanity needs to do this.
This is the most important mission any of us have ever been on.
None of the other species has the guts, grit, or balls to deal with this.
The captain gave up everything so I could have this chance. We can't fail.
The captain's not here. I'm in charge now, Joker, and time's wasting. Get this bird in the air.
Fancy speeches won't stop Saren from finding the Conduit. If we really want to make the captain proud we better get this bird in the air.
Noveria Done Dialog11 lines
The Conduit's on Ilos. That's where Saren is heading. I plan to be waiting when he gets there!
Crew... dismissed! Joker, alert the Council. Tell them everything.
The Mu Relay could link to dozens of systems. Unless we know exactly where Saren's going, we'd just be wasting our time.
We're all on the same team here, Williams. She's just trying to help.
I won't be a puppet for the asari! I give the orders around here. Understood?
I give the orders around here. I'll decide where we go next. Is that clear?
This is a tough mission. We're all on edge. Everyone go get some rest. Crew... dismissed!

Kaidan was a fine officer. He knew what the risks were, but he did what he had to.
A good officer's worth a lot more than your respect. I'd rather have him back.
He knew what the risks were.
Ash was a hell of a soldier. She knew what the risks were, but she did what she had to.
A good soldier's worth a lot more than your respect. I'd rather have her back.
She knew what the risks were. Any of my officers would have done the same.
Things would have been a lot tougher if your men hadn't been with us, Captain.
Under exceptional circumstances, we are each called upon to do exceptional things.
I get the job done. No matter what.

Captain Kirrahe will be missed. But many others will live because he gave his life.

Let me see what you have.
Glad I could help.
Trig01 4Estate Hackett Dialog16 lines
Sir, she was going to make me look bad no matter what I said.
I don't have the patience to deal with tabloid gadflies who think they're great journalists.
She wasn't going to let the facts get in the way of the story she wanted to write.
We had differences of opinion, sir. I hope she at least believed my sincerity.
I just told her what she wanted to hear, sir.
The Council can kiss my ass. I'm entitled to my opinions.
I'm not important enough for them to get hysterical over.
I've never had to deal with the press before.
To be honest, I thought she was full of crap.
She wasn't the most sympathetic audience.
With all due respect, Admiral, I'm a soldier. Not a public speaker.
I should've shot her, and dumped the body into a star.
I couldn't just walk away.
I wasn't aware of that. I won't discuss him again, sir.
I'm sure Saren "inconvenienced" the people he killed on Eden Prime, too.
How angry was the Council?
Trig03 Callhome Dialog14 lines
Computer, give me a real-time connection to the dreadnought Kilimanjaro. I want to speak to my mother, XO Shepard.

Forget it. I'm busy too. Do you remember a Lieutenant Zabaleta from the Einstein?
It's all right. I just had a question. Do you remember a Lieutenant Zabaleta from the Einstein?
I've seen him here on the Citadel. Looks like he's had some hard times.
He's a bum on the Citadel. He said he knew you, and hit me up for money.
What kind of incident?
He has post-traumatic stress because of what he saw?
I don't understand. What happened down there?
He snapped after seeing what happened down there.
Was that when he left the service?
For it to have affected him that deeply, he must have been a very sensitive man.
He let one experience ruin his career. His whole life.
That explains everything. Thanks.

Dr. Chakwas should take a look at you.
We're done here. Dismissed.
Williams knew the risks going in. She gave her life to save the rest of us.
We had to leave her behind. Saren has to be stopped. At any cost.
There was no time. I couldn't save you both. The bomb was about to go off.
I'm sorry, Kaidan. I'd never leave you behind. I couldn't. You know that.
Lieutenant Alenko, I am your commanding officer! I did what I had to do. Don't question my orders!
It wasn't your call, Alenko. I had to choose. I chose you.
It wasn't your fault. It wasn't my fault. The only one to blame here is Saren.
Get it together, soldier! Ash's blood is on Saren's hands. And when we find that son-of-a-bitch, I'll make him pay.
Williams is dead. We can't change that. But if we don't stop Saren, her sacrifice was made in vain.

Nobody is messing with my head anymore! I'm sick of dealing with these visions!

It's worth a shot.
The vision changed. But it's still not clear.

Something's different, but I still can't figure it out. And we're down to our last lead. Time to head for the Artemis Tau cluster. Crew... dismissed!
It's still not clear. And we've only got one lead left: the Atremis Tau cluster. Crew... dismissed!
Set the link up, Joker. They need to know.
They're not going to believe any of this. Not without proof. We'd just be wasting our time.
Say what you want, Williams. If you were calling the shots, you'd have done the same. Alenko would've, too.
The mission was never in danger. I had it all under control.
No one gets left behind. Not while I'm in charge.
This mission isn't over yet. We still have to find the Conduit before Saren does.
I won't accept failure. This mission is too important. Saren's still looking for the Conduit. But we're going to find it first!
It's still not clear. And we've only got one lead left: the Artemis Tau cluster. Crew... dismissed!
Virmire Open Dialog13 lines
Is it the ambassador?
I'll take it in the comm room.
I'll take all the help I can get.
What kind of information?
You didn't seem that interested in helping me before. Why now?
You mean spies.
I'm listening.
I don't like being kept in the dark.
What did they find?
A missing infiltration team's not my problem. Clean up your own mess.
Forgive me, Councilor. I'll look into it.
I will find Saren, but I'm doing it my way!
I'll look into it.
Virmire Report Dialog9 lines
Sovereign's the real problem here. The Reapers wiped out the Protheans. We're next.
The krogan would have served Sovereign. A Reaper.
Sovereign's a Reaper. Saren admitted it.
Sovereign's real. The Reapers are real. Saren even admitted it!
I tried to warn you about Saren. You didn't believe me then, and look how that turned out.
Aww. Looks like we lost the signal, Joker.
Here's another saying: go to hell!
We seem to have a lot of disagreements, Councilor.
Sooner or later you're going to have to take something I say on faith, Councilor.
Batarian Leader Dialog23 lines
You. But you're dead.
You and I are nothing alike. You killed those people. You pushed the button. And now you'll pay for it.
You're just a demented madman who gets off on killing humans. Don't try to make it sound like some holy crusade.
Do you really think the result would be any different this time? An attack against us would be suicide.
Then die already...
And they chose you for this mission? Then I guess we have nothing to worry about.
Who's your leader? Who's orchestrating all this?
Gladly.
Killing you is too much of a mercy. You can die... slowly.
You're not going to die. We'll drop you off on Terra Nova and let Alliance officials deal with you. I doubt they'll be too friendly.
I'm just getting started.
Let the hostages go and maybe you'll live long enough to explain yourself to the Council.
You don't get to leave, Balak. Not after what you've done.
I can't just let you go, Balak. Not after what happened here.
You pulled away from the Council. What did you think would happen?
Don't make it sound like you're the innocent party here. You brought it upon yourselves.
Why take it out on these people? They didn't do anything to you or the batarians.
How does killing innocent people make up for that?
Torfan was retaliation for your attack on Elysium. You pushed, we pushed back.
Is that what Elysium was? A way to get our attention? Well, you got it. And when we responded you ran like cowards. Now you want to start it all over again.
You attacked us first. When we retaliated, you ran off to the Council hoping for help. When you didn't get it, you hid. You've got no one to blame but yourselves.
You can go. But this isn't over. I'll find you eventually.
I'm not letting a terrorist like you go free. Do what you want with the others, but it'll be the last thing you do!
Bat Lieutenant Dialog14 lines
I didn't think you batarians knew the meaning of the word.
I've got nothing to say to a batarian terrorist.
This isn't just a slave grab anymore. Millions of people are going to die.
Well, it's not too late. You can still leave.
Maybe you should take your men and go. Before you get hurt.
So why do you listen to him?
You keep listening to this Balak and you'll end up dead.
Do you always want to be second in command? Get me out of here and I'll take care of Balak. Then you can start giving the orders.
But I can!
Spoken like a true lackey. You get me out of here and I'll take care of Balak. Or you can take your chances with me.
Balak will get what's coming to him. And so will you if I ever catch you in human territory again. Are we clear?
Balak will be dead before you get off the asteroid.
Balak's a dead man. And if I ever see you in human territory again, so are you. Understand?
That's reason enough for me.
Human Console Dialog4 lines
Who are you? What's going on?
I hear you. What's going on? Who are you?
Stay put. I'll get those other torches offline as soon as I can.
Why are they doing this?
Human Contact Dialog12 lines
Then I'd be no better than the batarians. Besides, Balak won't get away with this. I know who he is now. He can't run forever.
I don't plan to let Balak get away with this. I'll find him one day, and he'll pay for this.
I wish I could've saved him, too.
Your brother was the one Balak killed?
I understand. You've been through enough today. I'll get out of your way.
Shepard. Commander Shepard.
Commander Shepard. With Special Tactics and Reconnaissance.
How did the asteroid get all the way over here? Why wasn't someone alerted sooner?
What can you tell me about the batarians? What were they hoping to achieve with all this?
You've been through a lot. I'll get out of your way. So long, Kate.
That was a brave thing you did, Kate. Contacting me on the radio, risking your life.
I'll get out of your way. So long, Kate.
Surveyor Dialog42 lines
Hey.
Takes more than that one shot to bring me down.
I know you're scared. But I'm here to help. Commander Shepard, with the Alliance.
I'm here to help. Commander Shepard, of the Alliance frigate Normandy.
You can't go firing your weapon at everything that moves! What the hell's wrong with you?
Here's a tip: two eyes, human. Four eyes, batarian.
Leave the fighting to me from now on. Commander Shepard, Systems Alliance.
My shields took the hit. No damage done. I'm with the Alliance. Commander Shepard.
I don't have time to do the math in my head. What happens if we don't stop this rock?
Is there any chance it'll land in the oceans?
This doesn't make any sense. Batarians run criminal gangs. Unethical, but profitable. They don't destroy worlds. What does this gain them?
The people back on Earth haven't been paying attention. Again. The batarians burned my home to the ground twenty years ago. They don't change.
I guess batarians are as bad as they say.
Most batarians aren't genocidal madmen. But these ones are terrorists.
Any idea who's behind this? Who's leading them? That might provide a clue.
You were on the ground when this happened. How many batarians have you seen, and where?
The Conventions only apply to Council-aligned races. The batarian government is a rogue state.
We can worry about who to blame later.
If the batarians can't keep their own crazies in line, we'll do it for them.
Batarians everywhere, and I need to shut down all three torches. Anything else I should know?
You set them up. Can you disable them?
Should I requisition a cow to walk through ahead of me?
Time's running short.
Any idea where I can find them?
I'll look for them. But the torches have to be my priority.
Four-and-a-half million people are going to die in a few hours. Don't make me trot out some tired platitude about the needs of many versus few.
I think I found them. Their bodies, anyway.
I already found two of them. They didn't make it.
I came across a member of your crew. He didn't make it.
If I run into your people, I'll do what I can, but the torches have to come first.
A woman named Kate Bowman contacted me. The batarians haven't found her yet.
What can you tell me about Kate?
Give me a worst case scenario. We can't stop the asteroid. Could the colony be evacuated?
Why were you moving this thing in the first place?
Why was this place surrounded by blasting caps?
I ran into a field of blasting caps. You know anything about them?
I'm impressed. That was a clever bit of improvisation.
The last thing I needed to deal with was a bunch of explosives. The batarians are bad enough.
You'd better find a good place to hide. If the batarians come back and find you...
Stay here. I'm going to go remind some batarians about Mindoir.
Time's running short. I'm going to go punch this mountain into space.
Time's running short. I better get moving.
Surveyor Dialog47 lines
Letting him go was better than the alternative. I thought you were going to stay someplace safe?
In the future, run away from the sound of gunfire.
Forget it. Can you tell if the asteroid's stable?
Watch where you step. There were bombs, and there may be more. I need a sapper team to sweep the area.
This facility is secure. But the batarians can always attack another colony.
You're standing in the open. You haven't been shot. What do you think?
That was the last of them. Can you tell if the asteroid's stable?
Balak was holding them hostage. I let him go to save them.
I let Balak walk so he wouldn't blow them up. If they're not all right, he's going to have a short, unhappy life.
I think so. There are hostages in one of the offices nearby. Balak said he'd blow them up if I didn't let him leave.
Yeah, he could. Balak seemed like a practical man. Practical, but callous. I'm sure if he'd been in my place, Ms. Bowman would be dead now, along with all the terrorists.
But I'm not going to sacrifice people who happen to be between me and my target.
Balak gets away today. But we'll still be after him tomorrow, and the day after that. Me, my crew, and every other crew in the Alliance.
He'll run, and he'll hide. But eventually he'll slip up, and we'll get him. Bad guys never get away, Simon. Not unless the good guys give up.
Have you ever hunted, Simon? Actually stalked an animal in the wilderness?
Hunting an animal requires patience and discipline. I'll wait for this batarian animal to pop his head up again. And then I'll come down on him like the wrath of God.
Yes. Balak gets away. But does that really matter? Terra Nova is safe. Kate and her crew are safe. You're safe.
Meantime, Balak's lost his followers, he's lost a lot of material, and he didn't accomplish anything. I think we won here, Simon.
You think I should've let him blow up your friends? Sacrificed a few now to avoid possible deaths later?
Nobody dies on my watch. Yeah, Balak might attack another colony in the future. If he does, I'll be there to nail him to the wall.
The Alliance has a whole navy full of people like me, waiting to take him down. We'll be watching.
I'm sorry, Simon. Balak took Kate and some others as hostages. There was a bomb in their cell, and...
Balak murdered Katie and the others. Blew them up with a bomb.
The batarians had a bomb. They were holding Katie and her team hostage. I'm afraid they detonated it.
There are people in the galaxy who'll kill a human whenever they're given a chance. Balak was one of them. I didn't give him the chance to run away and try again. The price was three lives.
Part of my job is to accept responsibility for decisions like that. I'll be glad to let Kate's face keep me awake tonight, if it means your family sleeps soundly.
You need to understand something: not everyone out here in the big, bad galaxy likes humans. It's not safe.
Some days, the bad guys are going to win. You ask me, the good guys made out pretty well today.
The specifics are up to the courts.
Someplace where it hurts just to breathe.
That's the plan.
Would you prefer I let him live?
I think he deserves a slow death.
That's right.
Yes, I could have. If I let the batarians go. But then they might have done the same thing to another colony. Or two more. Or a dozen.
I could really use some light armor.
I need that heavy armor.
I know it's a lot to ask, but... that omni-tool of yours? I could really use something like that.
That omni-tool of yours looks handy. And expensive. Your gratitude go that far?
You have quarian armor? That's hard to come by.
The medium armor sounds like a good bet.
One more thing. You asked me to look into your missing engineers.
Yes, all of them. Their bodies, anyway.
I found two of them. They didn't make it.
I came across a member of your crew. He didn't make it.
Not yet. Can you think of anything that would help me find them?
Take care of yourself.
Npc Ahern Dialog68 lines
I figured I'd stop by and make these guys sweat a bit.
I found a note from Vidinos in your apartment. Should I be concerned?
I'm getting deliveries that should be going to you. Should I have them shipped here?
Good talking to you, Admiral.
No. I should be on my way.
I'm not saying I'm better than you. Well... maybe just a little.
It was a great challenge. Thanks for setting it up.
Are you serious?
Are there any more special scenarios?
It's been a pleasure working with you, Admiral.
After all I did, all you can say is "impressive"?
Got anything else for me to do?
You have something else I can try?
I'd be the first one to try it?
Keep going.
If we're doing it, let's do it right. Up the difficulty.
Then up the difficulty. I don't want it easy.
Then turn off the safeties.
You think it's that hard, put your credits where your mouth is. Unless that's too much for you?
What do you want to bet?
My life.
What's this place like?
Set it up.
I've done enough for now.
I'm doing my best, Sir.
What's the plan now that Vidinos is out of the way?
I never back down from a challenge.
We'll talk later.
I'll give them a reason to respect humans.
I'll get it done, Sir.
Talk to you later, Admiral.
Where are the tests?
I'm glad I got the invite. Where do we begin?
How do I try out a combat scenario?
How does the simulator work?
So you run the station and the training here?
Who will I be competing against?
Do you have a problem with turians?
Why would you accept a position on a turian facility if you hate them so much?
Thanks for the info.
I'll go check it out.

Keep your property. I've got the Normandy.
Sounds fair. Let's do this.
Make sure the place is nice and tidy before I move in.
Let me get this straight: If I win the next simulation, you'll give me your apartment?
You've seen what I can do, and you still doubt me?
I've almost got it beat.
I thought you said this would be difficult.
I'm still figuring out the finer points of the scenario.
I'll be fine.
I should hope so. I'm not doing this for my health.
Jealous Jerk Dialog18 lines
Your record was tough to beat, Vidinos. I'll take what luck I can get.
That wasn't luck. It was skill.
I don't have time for sore losers.
Aren't you forgetting something?
Not before I get that weapon.
You going to hand over the gear you owe me, or do I have to take it myself?
I'll take that pistol.
I'll take that shotgun.
I'll take that assault rifle.
I'll take that sniper rifle.
What seems to be the problem?
What are you crying about?
Would you change your mind if I scored highest on those missions?
I look forward to the challenge.
I'd better go make some room in my trophy case.
Consider that record as good as broken.
I could beat any of those scores. Without cheating.
Keep mouthing off, and I'll show you what a human can do.

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.
Let's try one of the timed missions.
Set me up in the Warehouse.
Boot up the Volcanic level.
I think I'll see how I do with the Tropical course.
What am I trying to accomplish in Time Trial mode?
I'd like to try something else.
I'll go with Survival mode.
I'll go with Survival mode.
I could use some sun. Boot up Tropical.
Let's go with the Volcanic course.
Give me the Subterranean level.
Sign me up for a Hunt mission.
Subterranean sounds good.
Give me Volcanic.
I'll go with the Tropical course.
Tell me what I'm supposed to do in Hunt mode.
Capture.
Set me up with the Volcanic course.
I'll go with Tropical.
I'll go with Tropical.
Boot up the Subterranean level for me.
What's my mission in Capture mode?
I'll hold off for now.
I understand Ahern set up a special 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.

Are you wounded, Williams?
I need a status report. Now.
Give me a status report, Williams.
Where's the rest of your squad?
This isn't your fault, Williams. You couldn't have done anything to save them.
You just left the rest of your unit behind to die?
Any idea what kind of enemy we're facing?
We could use your help, Williams.
Lieutenant Alenko and I will take care of this.
Just don't forget who's in charge.
Welcome aboard, Williams.
You're coming with us, Williams. We need that beacon.
Describe what happened leading up to the attack.
What happened to the researchers at the dig site?
What else do you know about the geth?
Tell me everything you know about the beacon.
Have you seen a turian Spectre around here?
Move out!

Did you notice a turian in the area?
What's wrong with your assistant?
Say goodnight, Manuel.
Just a little bump on the head. Let him sleep it off.
It was only a matter of time until he did something crazy. And dangerous.
We better get moving.

You're okay now. Nobody's going to hurt you.
Nobody moves a muscle until we know who you are!
We took care of them.
What else can you tell me about the ship you saw?
It was probably trying to block communications.
Tell me everything you remember about the attack.
Do you know anything about the Prothean beacon they dug up?
I have to go.
If there's something you're not telling me...
You have something to tell me, Cole?
You're breaking the law, Cole.
You greedy bastard! You weren't running for your life! You were running to check on your merchandise.
What kind of packages?
We're risking our lives to save this colony. You sure there's nothing else in here that could help us out?
I'm only going to ask this once. Think long and hard before you lie to me again. Are you sure all you've got is one lousy pistol?
He might have something to do with this whole attack, Cole. We need his name. It's important.
Would you rather be a snitch or a corpse?
Okay, forget about it. I've got more important things to worry about.
This should help. Let's move out.
Hand it over and I'll be on my way.
Powell Dialog24 lines
What are you doing sneaking around back there?
Sneaking up on us like that nearly got you killed!
I like the way you hid behind those crates during the fight. Really helped us out. Thanks a lot.
I need to know how Nihlus died.
What the hell are you talking about?
You're saying Nihlus was murdered by a turian?
Where'd Saren go after he killed Nihlus?
We were told a Prothean beacon was brought to the spaceport. What happened to it?
You're Cole's contact here on the docks. For the smuggling ring.
Anything hidden nearby that we could use against the geth?
Forget about him. He's not worth it.
Hand over those grenades. Now!
Just give me the grenades.
A lot of marines died here, Powell. Those grenades could have come in handy. If I were you, I'd think of some way to make it up to them.
Too many people died here for you to start jerking me around!
We have more important things to worry about.
How come you're the only one who survived? Why didn't anyone else try to hide behind the crates?
Tell me about this 'mother ship' you saw.
You were sleeping? I thought you were working here on the docks.
If you hadn't snuck off for that nap you'd probably be dead just like all the others.
You ditch work. Then you cower back here and do nothing while the geth butcher everyone else!
Tell me about the geth attack.
Is there anything else you can tell me about the beacon?
We need to find that beacon before it's too late.
Sp101 Garoth Dialog20 lines
You've got those coordinates for your brother's ship?
I found the remains of the Majesty. Looks like it was hit by privateers.
I haven't found him yet.
Maybe I can help.
The Traverse is a rough place. We're out there quite a bit.
I'm not just some soldier. I'm a Spectre.
Sometimes.
Any idea why someone would attack them?
Neither one of those options leaves a lot of hope.
Isn't anyone else looking into this?
What kind of ship was it?
What's in this for me?
If your brother's still alive, I'll find him. Give me the coordinates.
Give me the coordinates.
If my mission fails, trillions of people die! I don't have time to go looking for missing traders.
I found your brother's body. His ship was attacked by privateers.
I'm sorry for your loss.
I figured you'd want to know the truth, no matter how painful.
False hope doesn't do anybody any good.
Fair enough.

Never mind me. Are you all right?
I'm pissed off. When I get pissed off, I shoot things. Find me more bugs.
I'll live. You?
We'll check on them. I don't know why there are rachni loose out here, but I intend to find out.
It could also be that their link to the Comm Net is down.
Between the Citadel and the Fifth Fleet, everyone wants a piece of us. I'll see if we can divert.
Just point us in the right direction.
I have another mission I need to complete. I can't do it for you.
What sort of opposition would you expect?
We heard you needed some backup.
Hell of a welcome. How did it get this bad?
Shepard, Normandy. Give me a sit-rep.
They're called rachni. You get a supply ship in recently?
They're not animals. They're a sentient species. You study history? They're called rachni.
Why are you out here in the first place?
We do have a ship in orbit. We could bombard them.
If that's all they had left, you must have done a lot of killing before we got here.
We've taken care of the immediate problem. Do you think you can hold this position?
Do what you can to secure your position. We'll see if we can get some of your defenses operational.
Secure those negative waves, Durand. You and me are going to hold this worthless rock. Look to your people. We'll see if we can fix your defenses.
Then we don't have much time. I'll see if any of your defenses can be salvaged. Dig in as best you can.
Trig01 Supplies Dialog7 lines
Where'd that supply ship come from?
Two worlds with sudden rachni infestations? This isn't a coincidence. Tell me about that supply ship.
Tell me about that supply ship. This planet is supposed to be uninhabited. The rachni didn't come from nowhere.
Wherever it is, there's probably more rachni there. Let's get to the bottom of this.
Let's get this over with. Somebody needs an ass-kicking. Whoever it is, we'll find them there.
Then that's where we're going. Move out, people.
That's inside an emission nebula. The Alliance doesn't have any depots inside nebulae.

It sounded like you needed some help.
You said you had a job offer.
I'm sorry for your loss.
You want me to hunt down the people who killed her.
Why didn't the raiders kill Dahlia along with everyone else?
Coming up with the ransom seems like the best way to ensure Dahlia's safety.
Do you want me to deliver the ransom?
You can't negotiate with criminals.
Why would they put you in jail? You're the victim here!
You want me to find her and bring her back.
You got in over your head and you expect me to pull you out?
Keep your reward. I'll bring your sister back. I promise.
Don't worry. I'll bring your sister back.
I've got more important things to do than track down your sister.
Dahlia's dead, Nassana. And I know she was blackmailing you.
I killed Dahlia myself. And I know she was blackmailing you.
Dahlia's dead. And I know she was blackmailing you.
Dahlia's dead. I killed her myself. If you don't want to end up like her, start talking!
I would've helped if you'd just told me the truth.
Do your own dirty work next time!
Your sister was a slaver. She got what was coming to her.
You're a diplomat on her way up the ranks. It could be handy to have a Spectre who owes you a favor.
I'm a Spectre, not some merc for hire. I can find credits anywhere.
I don't want your blood money.
I just want to put this whole thing behind me.
If you try to cheat me on this--
Can't you hire someone else to do this?
How'd you find out who was behind the ransom?
Anything you can tell me about the mercs who have your sister?
I have to go.
You're Nassana, right? I ran into your sister, Dahlia. It didn't end well for her.
Never mind.
Crimeboss Dialog9 lines
Those men deserved to die. Now, are we going to have a problem?
I killed them because they deserved it. Now, I'm placing you under arrest.
So am I, ma'am. If you won't come peacefully, I'll have no choice--
In that case, you're free to go. But if I find you in any slavery operations, I'll take you down without hesitation.
They certainly are. Come along peacefully, or I will take you and your men down.
I'm giving you one chance to live through this. Shut this gang down.
This gang has a reputation for drugs and slaving. It's too late to change that.
You're free to go. I don't ever want to see this gang again. If I do--
I was offering life, not freedom. Come along peacefully, or I will take you down.

I know what ExoGeni was up to. I saw what they let the Thorian do to those colonists. So I destroyed it.
Any idea why they turned on you?
I've heard all I need to.
Why didn't you send a clear message asking for help? All we had was that signal from the emergency beacon.
Any chance some of the other people at the base might still be alive?
What did you expect? You couldn't really believe those things were safe.
You were in charge of this project. The safety of the staff was your responsibility. They trusted you, and you betrayed that trust!
Maybe we could work something out.
Too many people died here. Their blood is on your hands.
The victims here deserve justice. I have to take you in.
Deal. Get the hell out of here.
This isn't about money. It's about justice. Blood for blood.

A Fifth Fleet cruiser will be by shortly to pick you up.
Then you weren't doing your job. Goodbye, Burns. A Fifth Fleet cruiser will pick you up.
A Fifth Fleet cruiser will be by shortly to pick you and the prisoners up.
Then you weren't doing your job. A Fifth Fleet cruiser will pick you and the prisoners up.
Let's not do anything we're all going to regret.
I'm giving you a choice. Put down your weapons and surrender.
You had one chance to get out of this alive. It's over.
Think about this. Burns is the one man who can help you!
I'm not promising to let you go. All I'm saying is that Burns will take another look. Right, Burns?
You're going to jail. But if you go peacefully, Burns will consider the reparations. Right, Burns?
If you die fighting, you'll get a lot of biotics killed, as well.
You've just made all L2 biotics look like terrorists. Think of what will happen to them.
If people think that all L2 biotics are violent extremists, what is that going to accomplish?
I think I'll just kill you instead.
Transmission Dialog5 lines
What's the priority on saving the chairman?
What kind of resistance should I expect?
What are the biotics asking for?
I've got other priorities, Admiral. I don't have time for a rescue operation.
Understood, Admiral. I'll see what I can do.
Distress Call Dialog11 lines
We're at your disposal if you need us, Admiral.
If you're calling us, there must be more to it than that.
What do you need us for? Just blow it into rubble.
Why was the asteroid being moved?
We can try to extract them.
Is there an extraction op planned?
It does sound a bit risky. Then I'd say "weapons free."
Are we sure the engineers are alive?
We'll make it right, Admiral.
I'll see if we can divert from our current mission.
We have our own mission to worry about.
Transmission Dialog4 lines
We have any idea what they're after?
It could be the first wave of an invasion.
I'm on it, Admiral.
Stopping Saren is a hell of a lot more important than wiping out a few geth outposts.
Triggers Dialog3 lines
What else do the logs say?
That artifact let Sovereign subvert their free will. Like he did with Saren. Why else would they fly into geth space?
That artifact must have done something to them. Why else would someone fly into geth space?
Gate Dialog8 lines
I need to talk to the man in charge. It's important.
My name is Commander Shepard. Major Kyle knows me. I have to speak to him.
I want this to end peacefully. If he doesn't see me, people could get hurt.
I understand why Major Kyle built this compound. I'm a biotic; I know what everyone here is going through. I just want to help you.
He shouldn't have killed those investigators. This problem isn't going to go away.
The Alliance wants someone to pay for those murders. Let me speak to Major Kyle and maybe I can find some way to help you all get out of this alive.
He's leading you to your deaths! If you fight the Alliance, you'll all get slaughtered. I'm your last chance. Let me talk to him, or people start dying.
One way or another, I'll find a way in!
Major Kyle Dialog20 lines
What happened to those other Alliance officers? The ones who came before me?
You killed two Alliance officers. You had to know how this would end.
Somebody has to pay for killing those Alliance officers, Major.
Most of your followers are dead because of you! If you really care about them, surrender now before anyone else gets killed!
The Alliance sent me to bring you in, Major. Can't you see this has gotten out of hand? Don't you understand you're endangering your followers?
You can still get out of this alive, Major. Surrender and nobody will get hurt.
If you don't come with me, all your followers will end up dead. What kind of father lets his children die?
You ordered your followers to kill those Alliance investigators. You must face the consequences of your actions. Do you really want your children to suffer for your sins, too?
You can still get out of this alive, Major. Surrender and nobody else has to die.
I've already killed half the people in this compound. If you don't come with me, all your followers will end up dead. What kind of father lets his children die?
You're doing the right thing, Major. Your children will be better off for it. Come on.
Come with me, Major. It's over.
I don't want an apology. You have to come with me, Major.
I'm going to trust you. If you betray that trust, you and all your children will suffer.
I think it would be better if you came with me now, Major.
I'm not letting you out of my sight, Major!
We do this my way, Major. Now move out!
You're not leaving me much choice, Major.
You murdered those men!
I didn't come here to listen to a madman's preaching!
Transmission Dialog8 lines
What kind of proof do you have that the major is dangerous?
I'll look into it.
What else can you tell me about Major Kyle?
You said his followers were biotics?
What were those Alliance representatives going to talk to Major Kyle about?
I'll deal with Major Kyle for you, Admiral.
I might be able to end this without violence.
How permanent of a solution are you looking for?
Standoff Dialog38 lines
Toombs? But you were on Akuze! I saw the thresher maw pull you under!
Corporal Toombs? But... I saw you die on Akuze! How did you get here?
What all comes out? I'm listening, but I need you to put that gun down.
What are you talking about? Why do you want to kill this man?
Lower your weapon and step away from the doctor slowly, or I will fire.
We don't always get what we want, Toombs.
What did the doctor do to you, Corporal?
What did they do to you, Toombs?
Toombs, I-- I didn't see anybody. If I'd seen you, I'd have come back for you. I swear.
You're killing them because they killed your unit.
What kind of tests are we talking about?
Toombs, it doesn't have to be like this. This isn't the only way!
I can arrest him. He'll answer for his crimes in court.
If what you're saying is true, then pull that trigger. I won't stop you.
I can't let you murder him. I'm sorry.
I wish I could have saved him. He was obviously in pain.
I don't know what you did to him, but I don't think he chose you by accident.
Save the story for the jury. You're going to jail, doctor.
I didn't save you out of charity. You people need to be exposed. You're under arrest.
Watch me. Joker, let the Fifth Fleet know we need a ship for pick-up.
It's better than you deserve. Joker, let the Fifth Fleet know we need a ship for pick-up.
Corporal, if you kill him, you're a criminal. But I'm a Spectre. Nobody will question me.
I got off easy, and you didn't. So let me handle this, Toombs.
If I'd seen you, Toombs, I would never have left you behind. Let me help now.
And I'm the one they can't prosecute, Toombs. You don't get to throw your life away so easily.
If you really want to do this yourself, I won't stop you.
You did your job for your unit, Corporal. Now let me do mine. That's an order.
No, the last thing you have to do is keep going, to show these bastards who won.
You're better than this, Toombs. You're not like them.
We swore an oath when we put on this uniform! Would our unit want revenge or justice?
Toombs, if I could've helped you on Akuze, I would have. All I can do is help now. Let me.
You think I don't want revenge for Akuze? Listen, Toombs. Arresting him hurts them more.
Think of your friends who died on Akuze. Would they want revenge... or justice?
You put on a uniform, Corporal. You swore an oath. Don't let them take that from you.
Because you want to see him squirm on trial as all his ugly deeds come out.
Those bastards can't hurt you any more. Joker, tell the Fifth Fleet we need a ship for pick-up.
All you can do is keep going. Joker, tell the Fifth Fleet we need a ship for pick-up.
Talk to me, Toombs. Whatever happened, this isn't the way.
Transmission Dialog7 lines
Former scientists? Sounds like someone has a project they'd like to keep secret.
I'm happy to look into it, Admiral. What can you tell me?
Akuze... I lost my whole unit there. You're saying that our scientists were involved?
This can't have anything to do with what happened to me on Akuze.
You think these scientists had something to do with the attack?
That can't be a coincidence.
I've got higher priorities than retired scientists, Admiral. Find someone else.
Admiral Steven Hackett Dialog10 lines
What makes this "uncomfortable?"
Where's it been in the meantime?
And this is a problem... why?
The war's over. What difference does it make?
I understand this must be handled. But I don't have anyone trained to deal with this sort of thing, sir.
Just because I saved Eden Prime doesn't make me an expert on nuclear munitions.
Shouldn't a bomb disposal unit be sent for this? We don't have anyone trained in that.
It's in the Voyager Cluster? That's the opposite side of the Alliance from turian space. How did it get there?
By the time we finish our current objectives, you could have someone else on-site.
We'll get on it immediately, Admiral. And we'll be discreet.
Mastermind Dialog16 lines
You have me at a disadvantage.
Have we met?
You caused the cave-in? What's the meaning of this?
In most criminal organizations, it's the one who's recognized as the most successful.
You assume I give a damn. That's cute.
I don't study the internal politics of pirate bands.
You organized the attack on Elysium. You want me to thank you for my Star of Terra?
You organized the attack on Elysium. Too bad we kicked your ass back into Terminus, huh?
You're the one behind the attack on Elysium!
It doesn't have to be like this, Haliat.
My crew will come for me.
You'll see me again, Haliat. Count on it.
We'll find a way out of here.
We've got air and light, and the Normandy's still in orbit. Let's look for another way out.
We find a way out. Someone up there needs my boot up his ass. See if there's anything in here we can use.
I don't know. Let me think. You two see if there's anything in here we can use.
Trig01 Mine Dialog3 lines
They may not know what they have. Let's find it before they set it off.
Your grasp of the obvious is inspiring. There's still a nuke down there. Check your corners and watch your back.
There's a nuclear weapon down there. We can't abandon it. Just stay on guard.
Shadow Broker Dialog9 lines
Who are you? And who do you represent?
If you know something about Cerberus, you'd better tell me.
You must have some connection to Cerberus. How else could you tell Kahoku where to find them?
Did you have anything to do with Admiral Kahoku ending up dead?
These are classified Alliance files. I'm not handing them over to you.
Your deal died with Kahoku. Why should I help you?
What are you going to do with this information?
My loyalty is to the Alliance, not the Shadow Broker.
I'll transmit the files.
Transmission Dialog13 lines
Just doing my job, Admiral. I couldn't let innocent lives be lost.
Any biotic extremists will think twice before trying something like that again.
I killed innocent people today, Admiral. The biotics set it up, but I pulled the trigger.
I'm sorry we lost some of the researchers, Admiral. The biotics knew what they were doing.
The biotics had the researchers in strategic points, Admiral. I had no choice.
I did what I could, but it wasn't enough. I take full responsibility, Admiral.
How can I help, Admiral?
I'm sorry, Admiral. I've got too much going on right now to help.
If it's that important, I can find the time. What have you got?
So if I shoot everything that moves, a lot of researchers are going to die.
I'll take the biotics down, Admiral, and I'll try to limit the casualties.
I'll do everything within my power to bring those researchers back safely, Admiral.
And if I take time to help you, millions could die. I'm sorry.
Sub Darius Dialog16 lines
I'm not here to put up with your crap, Darius. Shall we talk, or should I just shoot you now?
I don't believe my background is relevant here, Mr. Darius. Shall we talk?
Is that a bad joke? I've killed worse than you on my way to real problems.
Of course... Lord Darius. Now, what will it take for these raids to stop?
It was never your territory! You're killing innocent people, and it's going to stop. Now.
The Alliance offers its apologies. We did not realize that you'd claimed that asteroid.
You kill innocent civilians, and now you want us to pay you? You've gone too far!
We're willing to discuss that. What kind of considerations did you have in mind?
You want us to pay you and help you make drugs? You're deluded, Lord Darius.
I believe we can manage that.
Stop the raids, get off the asteroid, and I won't waste a bullet on you. Please.
Please, Lord Darius. I'm asking you to work with us as a friend of the Alliance.
You said we set you up. Did the Alliance give you weapons?
You want the respect you deserve, you piece of crap? Here you go.
Someone once said that diplomacy comes from the barrel of a gun.
I apologize. Now, let's get back to business.
Transmission Dialog6 lines
You didn't think I'd negotiate with him. You wanted me to kill him?
You put Darius in power, but he was getting greedy. You wanted me to kill him.
Wouldn't an Alliance negotiator be better suited for this assignment?
You're kidding. Admiral, I'm the last person who should be negotiating a cease-fire.
If you're certain it's a good idea, I'll do what I can.
I still think that this is a mistake, Admiral.
Asari Companion Dialog19 lines
It was my honor to aid you.
I'm glad I could help.
I can't spend gratitude.
What are you offering me?
I'd be honored.
You have quite a gift, Sha'ira.
Um, thanks. I guess.
What is it?
You wanted to speak with me?
What exactly do you do?
I don't like people spying on me.
Get to the point.
Tell me about this problem you're having.
Maybe I can help.
What happened between you?
What exactly do you want me to tell him?
I don't make any promises, but I'll see what I can do.
Why should I bother to help your friend?
Goodbye, Sha'ira.

Any chance I can move up on her client list? I did help her out.
What do you know about the General?
Can't I just go in?
What is the Consort? What does she do?
You make her sound like some kind of oracle.
What do you do here, Nelyna?
What exactly do you attend to?
I'd like to try out your services.
Commander Shepard. I'm with the Spectres.
Commander Shepard. With the Alliance Navy.
Nobody's worth that much of a wait.
I think I'm done here.
Where do I go?
What does she want to see me for?
If I have time I'll speak with her.
Avina Embassy Dialog16 lines
Do you know anything about Spectres?
I want to know more about Citadel Security.
Tell me about the embassies.
How come the volus were the first species given an embassy?
Why weren't they made a Council race?
That's pretty damn arrogant!
Why were people trying to keep my species out?
Do you agree with their decision?
What can you tell me about the Citadel Council?
It can't be as simple as that. There must be problems somewhere in the system.
Goodbye.
What does that mean?
I don't need a guide.
So are you a person or a program?
Give me the tour.
I'll pass.
Avina Dialog15 lines
What does that mean?
I don't need a guide.
So are you a person or a program?

Any particular reason there are so many keepers in this area?
Tell me more about the Relay Monument.
Tell me about the Citadel Tower.
What happens in Citadel Control?
I'd like to hear more about the Council Chambers.
What if someone has business with the Council?
I've been inside the Council Chambers.
I'm scheduled to have an audience with the Council.
That's all for now.

What does that mean?
I don't need a guide.
So are you a person or a program?
Give me the tour.
I'll pass.
What were the Rachni Wars?
Was it really necessary to wipe them out?
Tell me more about the Krogan Rebellions.
You needed the krogan to stop the rachni. Then you needed the turians to stop the krogan. So who's going to stop the turians?
Why did the Council fight so hard to keep the statue?
Sounds like they got what they deserved.
That's all for now.
Banker Dialog25 lines
I don't like strangers keeping tabs on me.
You've got me at a disadvantage here.
It's a great honor.
It's no big deal.
I heard you work for the Shadow Broker. Do you have any information about Saren?
I hear your information can be expensive.
I need that information. Now.
That's what happens when you deal with a traitor like Saren.
Saren betrayed him. Imagine that.
Saren's turned on a lot of people lately.
That's not much to go on.
I think I know him. His name's Wrex.
How do I find him?
Isn't it strange that a krogan would want to speak with C-Sec?
Thanks for the info.
What's it like living here on the Citadel?
What makes the Presidium so special?
What are the wards like?
Tell me more about your job.
Sounds pretty shady.
Still sounds shady to me.
Tell me more about the Shadow Broker.
Any guess what his identity might be?
I thought you'd know more about the man you work for.
I should go.

Bosker Dialog24 lines
When will this research result in actual new technology?
How long do you think the research is going to take?
You've got to have a lot of bodies. Can't you release one?
Thanks for your help.
I'd like you to reconsider releasing Nirali Bhatia's body.
You've got no legal right to keep the body, and I know you don't want this to go public.
You know who and what I am. If I want Nirali Bhatia, I can get her.
You said you'd been briefed on me. You should know that I don't leave fallen troops behind.
You said you'd been briefed on me. How do you think I feel about people mistreating the dead?
You said you'd been briefed on me. How far do you think I'm willing to go on this?
The marine's name was Nirali Bhatia. If you want to cut her up, you call her by name.
I understand what you're trying to do, but holding the body is wrong.
Not if we lose our humanity in the process! I'm out there fighting to stop crap like this!
You've read my file. You know how far I'm willing to go, and I'm telling you to release the body.
Is this what I'm out there fighting for? A government that steals the bodies of its honored dead?
Soldiers shouldn't have to worry about what their own government is going to do to their bodies.
Yes. A man named Samesh Bhatia is having some trouble claiming his wife's body.
You can cut the red tape for a grieving husband. I want you to release the body of Nirali Bhatia.
I'm here on behalf of Samesh Bhatia for his wife, Nirali.
I don't care how badly the geth mangled the body. It's the husband's right to claim her.
You think that her body might be dangerous or contaminated?
You're studying her injuries to learn more about geth weaponry.
I'll tell Samesh. Next time you cut up a dead soldier, at least tell her husband the truth.
I'll tell Mr. Bhatia about this. It might make it easier for him to understand.
Captain Dialog47 lines
I thought you said he was a drunken loser.
How are you holding up?
Tell me what happened with you and Saren twenty years ago.
What can you tell me about Noveria?
Any extra intel you can give me on our colony at Feros?
What do you know about the Artemis Tau cluster?
Do you know anything about Virmire?
What do you know about Armistan Banes?
The people I spoke with seemed to think he was still alive.
So why are people talking like he's still alive?
This is a cover up if I ever heard one.
What can you tell me about the ship?
Any idea how to find him?
I spoke to Kahoku. He never brought it up.
I might look into it later.
Where can I find Admiral Kahoku?
I want to know the truth about you and Saren. I want to know about the mission you were on together all those years ago.
You and Saren have a history. What happened?
Sometimes a thousand people must die so a million can live.
Killing innocents doesn't end wars. It causes them.
Harkin spilled your dirty little secret. He told me you were a Spectre!
I trusted you. You betrayed me.
Why weren't you honest with me?
I think I deserve the whole story.
I'm guessing things didn't go as planned.
How many casualties?
Sounds like overkill to me.
He was smart. You needed a diversion.
Saren caused the explosion. How'd he pin it on you?
Don't blame yourself, Captain.
Why'd you let him get away with it?
The only thing I care about is stopping Saren.
I want to know more about the Spectres.
How do they decide who becomes a Spectre?
What's their command structure like?
What happens when a Spectre goes rogue. Like Saren?
They sound like shadow operatives.
Our ambassador doesn't seem to get along with the Council.
Maybe they'd let us join the Council if we were more willing to cooperate with the other species.
Who cares if we get a seat on the Council? What's the big deal?
You don't think much of Harkin.
The guy's a scumbag. He should have been cut loose a long time ago.
I thought this embassy was supposed to help humans.
Maybe there's another way to find evidence against Saren.
Tell me about Barla Von.
Tell me more about the Shadow Broker.
I should go.
Chorban Dialog14 lines
I'll leave you alone.
Tell me again what it is you're trying to do.
I've decided to help you out. Just tell me what I need to do.
Why are you so interested in the keepers?
Just tell me what you're doing. I'm not here to get you into trouble.
We're just talking. Is there something wrong with that?
Why were you being so secretive about it, though?
I could help you out. I'm not worried about the authorities.
I'm Commander Shepard, with the Alliance military.
I should get going, then.
What are you doing with the data once you've scanned it?
My name's Shepard. I'm with Special Tactics and Reconnaissance.
If you don't want my help, just forget it.
I'm going.
Crimeboss Dialog9 lines
How did you know I'm a Spectre?
I've got plenty to do already.
What crimes did these men commit?
I eliminate them, and then you take over and try to eliminate me. How stupid do I look?
You're obviously with them. Why don't I just arrest you instead?
What kind of defenses would these two have?
And what do you get out of this?
Find someone else to do your dirty work. I want no part of a gang war.
If they're as bad as you say they are, they need to be dealt with.
Volus Ambassador Dialog6 lines
What do you do here?
Why do you explain what you're about to say?
Tell me more about your species.
Tell me about the history and origins of the elcor.
I'd like to know more about the culture of the elcor.
Goodbye, Ambassador.

Executor Dialog17 lines
I'll do whatever it takes to stop Saren.
I'll do everything I can to stop Saren.
Have we met before?
I came on my own. I need information.
Nobody sends me anywhere. I just need some information.
Tell me about C-Sec.
Sometimes you have to bend the law to keep people safe.
The galaxy needs people like that, people who do the dirty jobs.
But not all Spectres are like Saren.
Absolutely. The only thing that matters is accomplishing the task.
I get the feeling you're not too fond of humans.
The Council treats us like second-class citizens. We have to fight for everything we get.
What do you know about the Spectres?
What do you have against the Spectres?
Tell me about your investigation into Saren.
Then can you tell me what you know about Garrus?
I'll be going now.
Family Argue Dialog20 lines
Can I help with anything?
Is this man harassing you, ma'am?
I'm certain that she has a good reason. I'd like to hear both sides.
I thought gene therapy was common.
What are the chances that gene therapy could hurt the baby?
What are the chances that your child will develop the heart condition?
For what it's worth, I think you should consider undergoing the therapy.
You've already lost your husband. Are you going to let your grief endanger the baby, too?
Your husband's death wasn't your fault. But if you refuse the therapy, your child's death could be.
Wouldn't your husband have wanted to give the baby a better chance than he had?
Alliance soldiers all go through much more rigorous genetic procedures. It's worth the risk.
Then you'll know you did all you could to keep your baby safe. That's all you can do.
It's Rebekah's child, Michael. I think you should honor her decision.
I know you want the best for your brother's child, but this isn't your decision.
Is this about keeping the baby safe, or is this about you losing your last link to your brother?
Of course she is! So are you! Yelling at her won't bring your brother back.
Then support the baby's mother. Stand with her when she makes the tough decisions.
You're afraid you'll lose the baby, just like you lost your brother.
I'm sorry I couldn't help. Good luck.
Forget it. I don't have time for this.
Garrus Vakarian Dialog7 lines
I appreciate that, Garrus.
Something I can help you with, Garrus?
What do you want?
You're a turian. Why do you want to bring him down?
I don't need a turian shooting me in the back when I least expect it.
I don't want you on this mission.
Welcome aboard, Garrus.
Hanar Religious Dialog23 lines
Happy to help.
This is your opportunity to show people that the hanar aren't crazy xenophobes. Don't waste it.
I'll keep working on it.
What's going on here?
Why is the C-Sec officer harassing you?
Are you allowed to preach here in the Presidium?
Who are the Enkindlers?
If that's all the C-Sec officer wants, why not just buy the permit?
So you're breaking the law by preaching without a permit right now?
Let me talk to the C-Sec officer. Perhaps I can explain the situation.
This is the Presidium, not a church! Evangelize somewhere else.
Is this really how you want to represent the Enkindlers?
The C-Sec officer is just doing his job. You're causing trouble.
What if I purchased the evangelical permit for you?
150 credits? This should cover you.
I knew it. You're not just evangelizing, you're panhandling!
I don't care about your intent. You're making all hanar look like troublemaking zealots.
If you want people's respect, you have to follow the rules. Buy the permit, and stay out of here.
You hanar deserve what you get. You're either too snobbish or too stupid to follow simple rules!
Is this how the Enkindlers would want you to use this gift of consciousness?
If the Protheans wanted you to force your message on the unwilling, they'd have said so.
The Enkindlers wouldn't wish their message to be spread by breaking society's laws.
I'll be back.
Human Ambassador Dialog56 lines
This isn't right! The Normandy belongs to you!
I want the truth. Why are you stepping down, sir?
Come clean with me, Captain. You owe me that much.
Why didn't you ever mention this?
What happened?
Does this have to do with Saren keeping you out of the Spectres?
I won't let you down, sir.
Saren's not going to get away this time.
I'll take good care of her, sir.
What kind of leads do we have?
The Reapers are the real threat.
I'll stop him.
Anything else?
The colonists on Feros might still be alive.
Sounds like we should head for the Artemis Tau cluster.
Maybe I can get to Noveria before the geth.
I'll try not to make things any harder on you, Ambassador.
I'll do whatever it takes to stop Saren.
I'll take care of Saren. You take care of the political fallout.
What about you?
Tell them not to worry.
How many more times do I have to prove myself before they start to listen to me?
I'm out to stop Saren. Nothing else matters.
I would've saved the colony if I could've. But stopping Saren is more important.
I'm the one who destroyed the Thorian. I don't remember seeing you around.
You don't give a damn about the colonists. It's all just politics to you, isn't it?
All in a day's work, Ambassador.
There's nothing funny about what I did.
The rachni were monsters. I couldn't let them live.
I had no other choice.
You weren't there, Ambassador. It was my call. I did the right thing.
This queen isn't like the others. She's not interested in conquest or war.
Making your day, Ambassador. She has information linking Saren to the geth.
You wanted proof Saren's a traitor. This is it.
This quarian can help us bring down Saren. I would've told you that if you hadn't jumped down my throat.
I've never heard of this before.
What kinds of things do you look for?
Tell us what you found.
Where's the proof you promised?
What kind of evidence did you find? How did you get it?
How did you manage to preserve the memory core?
What did you find out?
He said Eden Prime brought him one step closer to finding the Conduit. Any idea what that means?
Saren won't get out of this one.
Are they some kind of new alien species?
I feel like I've heard that name before...
The vision on Eden Prime -- I understand it now. I saw the Protheans being wiped out by the Reapers.
They won't believe you anyway. Just keep them out of this.
The Reapers are a threat to every species in Citadel space. We have to tell them.
This is a lot to handle. They might just ignore everything we tell them.
I thought you were on your Pilgrimage.
I think this is more than you can handle.
I'll take all the help I can get.
Saren's a threat to every human colony out there. He needs to be stopped. The Council has to listen to us!
I'm not going to sit on my ass just because the Council doesn't want to do anything. If they won't stop Saren, I will.
Saren's a threat to every human colony out there. If they don't stop him, I will!
Negotiator Dialog26 lines
It's commander, actually. What do you want?
What kind of situation are we talking about?
I don't remember seeing you hip-deep in geth back on Eden Prime.
I understand. It's important. So what do you need?
Don't try to sell me on this. Just tell me what you want.
Why is this deal so important?
What is this stimulant, exactly?
If you know the monthly limits, why did you go over them?
Is your assistant incompetent or just inexperienced?
You should put some trust in your assistant. Didn't you train him?
We need to talk about your drug addiction again.
Keeler, you've got a problem. You need to get treatment.
Will overdosing on stimulants and getting arrested help humanity, Keeler?
I don't see all the top negotiators soliciting help to go over the legal limit, Keeler.
You won't be doing humanity any favors if you overdose during negotiations. Get help now.
No trade negotiation is worth ruining your life for. Let it go and get help.
There's no shame in having a problem, but you have to get treatment.
That sounds like an addict talking, Keeler. What does it take to convince you?
I'll see what I can do, but I can't guarantee anything.
I'll get back to you.
Getting you your drug fix isn't high on my list of priorities, Keeler.
Here's the drug you asked for.
Here. This should take care of all your problems.
You're an addict and a bigot. Your assistant will do a better job. You need to get help.
This deal is too important to have a drug addict negotiating it. You need to get help.
Humanity doesn't need drug addicts negotiating important deals. Get some rest.
Receptionist Dialog6 lines
What's your name? What do you do here?
You seem to be distracted.
What is this place?
What's that?
You know who I am?
I should be going now.
Reporter Dialog32 lines
It was no problem. Good luck with your story. It deserves to be heard.
I did this as a favor, Ms. Wong. You're on your own now.
Could you tell me where you want me to plant the bug again?
I'll let you know when it's done. Goodbye.
I planted the bug. If you aren't getting a signal, they must have found it.
They must have. Their security must be tighter than you thought.
Are you calling me a liar?
I'm not going to plant this bug. This isn't a good idea.
If you publish this, controllers will just be fired and replaced. Do you want that?
It's all under control. Were you truly concerned, or just digging for ratings?
That seems like a step down from wide-scale corruption.
What do you want me to do?
Everyone knows space traffic controllers are overworked. How is this news?
If you crack this story, what's likely to happen?
What will this bug allow you to pick up?
This bug you want me to plant -- could it interfere with traffic signals?
I can't promise anything, but I'll see what I can do. Give me the bug.
I'm trying to solve real problems, Ms. Wong. I don't have time for this! Goodbye.
Nothing I intend to share with the press. These are for an official investigation.
These OSDs might have the information you're looking for.
People need to hear this story. I'm glad I could help.
Pleasure doing business with you.
What would my future cooperation be worth? Say, an interview when my investigation is over?
I had to kill people for these disks. They're worth more than you're offering.
I don't have time to give interviews, Ms. Wong.
What do you need?
How do you know I'm investigating anything here on the Citadel?
How do you know that my investigation is going to uncover anything you need?
You've got to have access to better sources. Why contact me?
Sounds like a good cause. If I find any information, it's yours.
No promises, but if I find anything relating to your case, I'll inform you.
I'm here to do my job, not yours. Goodbye, Ms. Wong.
Samesh Dialog25 lines
Your wife is coming home, Mr. Bhatia.
I reminded Mr. Bosker what we're fighting for. Your wife is coming home.
Where can I find this Mr. Bosker?
Tell me again what you'd been told about your wife.
Not yet. I'll be back when I have more to tell you.
They're running medical studies on Nirali. That's why they won't release the body.
It's not as simple as I'd hoped. The military needs your wife's body for important tests.
It's unacceptable. I'll let you know what I can do.
I'm not going to go against the military, Mr. Bhatia. I can't help you.
The dead stay dead, Chief. We have to focus on the living.
It had to be done, Chief. You know that.
Mr. Bhatia, your wife died defending humanity. We still need her help.
She died a hero, Mr. Bhatia. And now she has a chance to save even more lives.
If the military had asked your wife to submit to tests to save human lives, what would she have said?
Samesh, right now, more people are going to die unless the military runs those tests.
The geth killed your wife. And they'll kill a lot more if we don't run those tests!
This is war! People die! If you want to keep that to a minimum, let them run those tests!
What do you need?
A lot of people want my help these days. What makes you special?
It's no trouble. What can I do for you?
Why did they refuse your request? There's got to be some reason.
We'll look into it.
There's no reason for your wife's body to be held like this. Just wait here.
I'm concerned with the living, not the dead. I don't have time for this.
I can put in a word with the embassy and speed things along.
Terra Firma Dialog24 lines
What's this demonstration about?
Cram your honor. What's this riot about?
You obviously wanted to speak to me.
Sorry. I believe we need to work peacefully with other races.
I don't know Terra Firma's platform. What do you stand for?
But you don't do anything to curtail the the racist comments of your members.
I don't think it's "extreme" to stand up for our inalienable human rights. No pun intended.
A few extremists don't invalidate the whole party, Chief. Every group has bad apples.
A few extremists don't invalidate the whole party, Lieutenant. Every group has bad apples.
We live in this galaxy, Mr. Saracino. We can't pretend that what we do affects no one else.
Stay out of this.
Enough. Both of you.
You're marking the end of the First Contact War with a protest?
I thought the lesson of the First Contact War was that there's other life in the galaxy, and they have opinions too.
It's not worth getting angry over, Chief.
Gunnery Chief Williams, is that the proper way to address a civilian authority?
Every day I stand up for humanity. Often in the face of bullets. What have you done lately? You really think speeches help?
What are you running for?
I'm a patriot, Mr. Saracino. You've got my vote.
You have the right to your opinion, Mr. Saracino. But with all due respect, I disagree with it.
The occupation of Shanxi couldn't happen again. We weren't even sure there were aliens to garrison against back then.
We need more politicians with the courage to stand up for human rights.
It's inappropriate for an active-duty officer to publicly comment on politics.
I'll think about it. Excuse me.
Trig04 Remember Me Dialog6 lines
She's been a slave for the past 13 years? Is she all right?
I'm busy right now, Lieutenant.
You mean she was taken in the raid that killed my parents.
I'm on my way, Lieutenant. Sit tight.
Lieutenant, if she wants to die, let her die. That's her choice to make.
I'm not trained for that, but I'll do what I can.
Trig Ai Machine Dialog9 lines
You're not just a program or a VI. You're an AI.
Crap. I thought we were tracing credits, not hunting an AI.
Who made you?
Where is your creator now?
What is the purpose of your self-destruct device?
If you're sentient, why are you still running the credit-theft operation?
Can't we resolve this peacefully?
There's no way you could get explosives onto the Presidium.
I'll bet that self-destruct sequence has a warm-up period.
Trig Fan Dialog31 lines
Why the hell would I care about this, Conrad? I've been nice, but you're wasting my time.
I've got a lot going on right now, but I can spare a moment.
What's on your mind?
Conrad, I don't think that's a good idea.
Conrad, I haven't been shot in the head nearly enough times to make that seem like a good idea.
Why would you want to be a Spectre, Conrad?
Okay, let's see. I'm a bad guy. Stop me from killing you.
What about your wife, Conrad? She trusts you, too. Aren't you letting her down?
This is what the Blitz felt like, Conrad! You like it?
I believe you, Conrad. But there's another fight that needs you.
Conrad, you have no idea what it takes to get the job done.
Because you're not a soldier, Conrad. You can't handle this. Go home.
This is how a gun in your face feels! It happens to me every day! You can't handle this.
If you're really willing to do whatever it takes, you'll go home, Conrad.
You know what keeps me going out here? Knowing that people back home are keeping humanity strong.
Conrad, I don't need you. Your wife does. So get out of here.
Conrad, you're not Spectre material, even if I had that kind of pull.
There's a lot going on right now. Is there something I can do for you?
I apologize for being short with you before. What do you need?
Being a Spectre is a big responsibility. I just want to make humanity proud.
Right. Conrad. We talked awhile back.
I don't have a problem with it, but... why?
Sure. No problem.
I don't have time for this crap! Go back to whatever hole you crawled out of!
Nice to meet you. And you are...?
Do I know you?
They say a lot of things. I was too busy killing them to count.
I spent most of the time trying to stay alive and help the colonists.
Here you go.
Anything for a fan. Here.
I don't have time for this, Conrad. I'm not here to be a role model.
Turian Religious Dialog19 lines
Happy to help.
Somebody needed to set that thing straight, and it obviously wasn't going to be you.
Sorry. I'll let you know if I come up with something.
Are there laws being broken here?
You should be more tolerant. It's just trying to express its beliefs.
Because it's a big stupid jellyfish.
What's the purpose behind the evangelical permits?
So if the hanar gets a permit, it's allowed to preach?
Why don't you just arrest the hanar?
If you'd like, I could talk to the hanar for you.
If you can't solve this problem, you don't even deserve to be in C-Sec.
I think you should let the hanar preach in the Presidium.
You're suppressing that hanar's religious freedom. I want you to stop.
If I purchased the evangelical permit myself, would that take care of things?
If we harass this hanar, we're going to have a diplomatic incident.
Has anyone actually complained about this hanar?
You've explained the law. If the hanar gets in trouble, it has nobody to blame but itself.
If you want to get promoted, learn to pick your battles. Let it go.
I'll be back.
Volus Ambassador Dialog8 lines
What is it you do here?
Why aren't the elcor or volus part of the Council?
What is this place?
I'd like to know more about the volus.
Actually, I would like to know more about your history.
Tell me about volus culture.
You seem to have a bit of a chip on your shoulder, Din.
Goodbye, Ambassador.
Xeltan Dialog16 lines
So long, then.
I've come to talk to you about your little problem.
It was a turian named Septimus who found out your secret.
The Consort didn't reveal your secret. It was a turian named Septimus.
I know who revealed your secret. It was a turian named Septimus.
Septimus is a powerful man and it wasn't easy for him to find.
Just make sure you leave Sha'ira out of it from now on.
I'm sure she'll forgive you. It was an honest mistake.
So long.
You seem distressed. Is there something I can do to help?
Who's this asari Consort?
I need to be going.
What did this asari do to get you so upset?
Where can I find this asari Consort?
Good luck with your problem.
Sorry to interrupt. Go about your business.
Zabaleta Dialog23 lines
I spoke to my mother. She told me about what happened on Mindoir.
Already hitting me up for money? I came here to talk about Mindoir.
I heard you were at Mindoir. I wanted to talk about what you saw.
I'm not going to give you money to drink yourself to death. You need to stop this.
Right. Because forgetting is much easier than dealing with it.
I can't help you if you don't want to be helped. Do you really want to get over what you saw?
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.
Like I'm going to waste good money on you.
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.
If booze is all you want, fine. It's your choice.
Would if I could, but I'm between paydays myself.
I'm sorry. Do we know each other?
Someone else who "knows" me now that I'm famous. We go to kindergarten together or something?
Have we met?
I didn't see her much that tour. The ship was on patrol most of the time.
I guess you're not in the service anymore, huh?
And you expect me to just take your word for that?
Sorry, I don't remember you.
Yeah, it's not a problem.
Twenty isn't enough to get you back on your feet, is it?
You're barking up the wrong Shepard. Maybe my mother would help you. I think you'll just blow it on booze.
Sorry, I don't have that much right now.
Chellik Dialog25 lines
Jax needed killing. Here's your shipment.
Quit your whining. Here's your shipment.
What about our deal?
Here's your shipment, Chellick.
Tell me again where I can find him.
I'll get to it soon.
So long, Chellick.
Long shifts, short nights?
Work keeping you up at nights, Chellick?
Excuse me?
Watch your tone, Chellick.
I don't follow you.
It's too dangerous. You need to find another way.
Do you really need to risk her life to get the information you want?
But you're still using her.
You're a smart guy, Chellick. Figure out another way.
Come on, Chellick. Do you really need a little human girl to help you solve your case?
I'll help you, but I need some details.
I'll persuade Jax to tell me where these mods are coming from.
Where can I find this Jax?
This'll be over quickly.
I'll make sure that things don't get out of hand.
Why are you so concerned about these mods?
This is just too much work.
Sorry, Chellick, it's not going to happen.
Girard Dialog24 lines
I had to jump her to get the sedative in. I didn't see any other way.
I'm fine. Thanks for asking. I got the sedative in her. She's out.
I just had to jump her to get the sedative in.
She took the sedative. She wants to get better, Lieutenant.
I got her to take her medicine. What a waste of my time.
I got her to take the sedative.
Bad things happen to good people, Lieutenant. That's why you and I are here. Don't wring your hands over her -- help her.
To make people who do these things pay. It's not the severity of punishment that deters crime, it's the certainty.
I don't have any answers for you, Lieutenant. We're doing what we can.
I'm sorry, Lieutenant. I couldn't save her.
You heard the gunshot, and I'm still standing here.
I did what I could.
This isn't working. You should take her out before she hurts anyone else.
You're really concerned about her, aren't you? All right. We're not down to last resorts. Just leave her alone for now.
I don't think that's your decision to make, Lieutenant. I want this docking bay clear in the next sixty seconds. You read me?
All right. This is your detail, Lieutenant. I'll play it your way.
No progress yet. I'm taking a break. Maybe she'll calm down a little.
Wish it were under better circumstances. Where is she?
Just tell me where she is, Lieutenant.
She's back there?
I hope I don't need it. Tell your men to stand by.
You seem awfully worried about her.
One way or another, she's coming out of there.
I'll talk to her. Keep back.
Jahleed Dialog32 lines
I killed him, and I've come back for you.
I found out you've been lying to me, Jahleed.
I'm scanning the keepers for Chorban. But you two need to stop fighting.
This is serious, Jahleed. You could spend the rest of your life locked up.
I can't let this continue any further. I'm reporting what you did.
Tell me more about this data.
If it's that important, then take it back to the people it belongs to.
I can't let your actions go unpunished.
He's admitted to stealing data from his workplace.
Everything's okay, Officer. Thanks for asking.
Now you can return the favor by filling up my bank account.
Return the data or I'll have you arrested, right here, right now.
Have a nice day, Jahleed.
Just go.
I don't have time for this.
What do you need me to do?
I haven't gone there yet.
I'll get to it when I get to it.
Where is Chorban again?
What did you need?
What won't anybody believe?
I'll just be on my way.
What do you want us to believe?
I think I'll be going.
What were you trying to explain to the officer before?
What are you doing here?
How do you know he wants you dead?
Is there something I can do? Talk to your friend, maybe?
Just tell me where he is and I'll go find him.
I'd better look into this right away. Find out what he's up to.
If I find out he's lied to me....
I don't have time for this right now.
Khalisah Dialog31 lines
I'm not in the mood, Miss Al-Jilani.
What sort of questions?
What do you want to know?
I don't have time to justify myself to your viewers. I have a galaxy to save. Excuse me.
So long as you understand that I may not be able to answer all questions.
The Spectres represent the best of every species in the galaxy. To be asked to join them is an honor.
We all know it should have happened years ago. I hope the Council realizes that we won't sit at the kids' table forever.
I try to keep in mind that it's just another form of duty. I still wear a uniform.
The Council is concerned with the needs of whole galactic community. We're part of that community now. Our needs are on their agenda, but we're one of many.
I think they know not to ask me to work against my own people.
The Spectre charter allows me to complete my missions any way I see fit.
Actually, the Normandy was co-developed by human and turian engineers. Its design incorporates many innovations. All of which are classified, I'm afraid.
The Normandy is a triumph of human engineering. Like our development of fighter carriers, it shows other races that we're able to think "outside the box."
Many details are still classified, I'm afraid. I can tell you she's a fine ship, and has the best crew I've ever served with.
Hold on. It's pretty clear you have an agenda here. I'm not going to be part of it. Excuse me.
I wasn't aware it had been "handed over" to anyone. I'm in command, and last I checked, I'm human. Same goes for my crew.
Ms. Al-Jilani, I wear the Alliance uniform. And if you think anyone other than me says where the Normandy can go, you're sadly mistaken.
I've had enough of your snide insinuations.
The Normandy has only been loaned to the Citadel. It's a legal technicality that allows me to use her in my new role as Spectre.
The Council had nothing to do with it. There was an accident at Binary Helix labs. In the interest of protecting the company's confidentiality, I can't say more.
I made that call to save myself, my crew, and the inhabitants of Noveria. And I'd do it again.
I'm afraid I can't discuss the details of my missions.
I can't discuss the particulars, but a previously-undocumented species was discovered in the ruins.
ExoGeni Corp. settled Feros knowing full well the danger it posed to colonists. You could say they were banking on it.
Me. I resolved the situation to the best of my ability. The results weren't all I hoped for. But I still don't see what I could have done differently.
Respect's a funny thing. People always assume they deserve it. The truth is, respect is earned. And I firmly believe we can earn it.
Ever read Machiavelli? He believed it's better to be feared than loved. We build a few dozen more dreadnoughts, I guarantee we'll be respected.
It's inappropriate for an active-duty officer to publicly comment on politics.
Saren instigated the attack on our colony at Eden Prime. Once his involvement was proven to the Council, I was assigned to bring him in.
For a long time, the Council sat on their hands with regard to Saren. I have to wonder where their thumbs were.
I'm afraid I can't comment on whatever my current assignment may or may not be.
Krogan Cutscene Dialog19 lines
My name's Shepard. I'm going after Fist. Thought you might want to come along.
I'm going after Fist. I don't want you getting in my way.
Does this mean you're part of my team, Wrex?
Glad to have you on the team, Wrex.
I think we're going to get along just fine, Wrex.
I'm trying to bring down Saren. Barla Von said to talk to you.
Spit it out. Or are you trying to build suspense?
Enlighten me.
What did he do?
He betrayed the Shadow Broker.
What does Saren have to do with this?
Fist's not too smart.
Saren might already have her.
Where's the quarian now?
I want to know more about your employer.
Time we paid Fist a visit.
He might come in handy.
Move out!
We can handle this on our own.
Requisition Officer Dialog6 lines
How do you know who I am?
How did you know all that?
Who wants to know?
Show me what you've got.
Just show me what you've got.
I think I'll be going.
Snap Inspection Dialog36 lines
I'm sorry to hear that, sir.
Sounds like a fairly common situation.
What did you find out of order?
I agree, sir. But I don't see what my crew can do about it. That's something you fix in drydock.
Modified turian style. They prefer commanders looking over their subordinates, rather than in the middle of them. We wanted to see how effectively they can command with that setup.
There are no amateurs on this crew. They know to keep idle chatter minimized during combat. And I can bellow with the best DIs.
You don't expect me to rip out the CIC and redesign it, do you?
We use our suit or uniform radios. Anyone who needs to talk to me keys in to my line. It's as if they're next to me.
Normandy was an expensive ship, sir.
We can loiter in an enemy system and monitor traffic, or drop infiltration teams on enemy worlds. Normandy can be more effective than the salarian STG.
Men of limited vision said the same thing about early aircraft, submarines, and tanks.
I think you should see her in action before you make that call.
It also makes us the fastest ship in the fleet. Without the Tantalus core, Eden Prime would be a smoking crater right now.
I'm sorry you disapprove, sir.
Between Saren and the geth, we have enough enemies out here. Treating other species with suspicion and distrust won't win hearts and minds.
I'm Normandy's commanding officer. The regs say I have the authority to say who does and doesn't come aboard. If you disagree, send a complaint up the chain of command.
I was told to make nice with the Council. If that means our military secrets get out, the brass only has themselves to blame.
The simple fact is, I'm also part of the Council's chain of command now. They expect a joint effort. I'm providing one.
I think Normandy is a good ship, sir. Even if you disagree, you have to see that her joint construction and multiracial crew make the Alliance look better.
We showed the Council something they hadn't thought of with our fighter carriers. You may disapprove of Normandy, but she's just another way we're outthinking them.
None, sir.
We weren't told to expect you, sir. I would have prepared a formal greeting.
Admiral, I'm on urgent business with the Citadel. Is there something you need?
Commander Shepard, SSV Normandy.
I still serve the Alliance, sir. As a Spectre, I can advance our interests to the Council.
I wasn't keen on it either. But there are advantages to being above the law.
Captain Anderson made it clear to me that my assignment came from way up in the brass. They say jump, I say how high.
The Normandy is a fine ship, sir. She's served us well so far.
This ship's saved our lives a dozen times over!
You don't approve of the Normandy's design?
We'd be honored to show her to you, Admiral.
Normandy is an Alliance warship, but she's on loan to the Citadel. That means she's not in your chain of command.
No, sir. Just pointing out our peculiar legal situation. You're welcome to look around, but this can't be considered a formal inspection.
This ship is Council property right now. So, respectfully, please clear the gangway.
Normandy is not legally part of the Alliance Military. I can't allow you aboard without permission from the Office of Special Tactics and Reconnaissance.
I'm sure you'll find everything in order, Admiral.
Talitha Dialog41 lines
My name is Shepard. Lieutenant Girard sent me to talk to you. What's your name?
First, don't point that at me. Second, I'm Commander Shepard, Systems Alliance. Who are you?
My name is Commander Shepard. I'm an Alliance marine. I'm here to protect you. What can I call you?
You're not an animal. Your parents? What did they call you? Do you remember them?
I don't want to hear what those bastards called you. I want your name. The one you were born with.
You must have a name. A name you were born with. Can you remember it?
Talitha, this will make you sleep. If you fall asleep, they'll take you to a place where you can get better.
You'll dream of a warm place. And when you wake up, you'll be in it.
I'm not going to lie to you. I just don't know.
This is powerful stuff. You won't dream at all.
I'm going to take a step towards you now. Okay?
I was on Mindoir. My parents died in the raid.
An Alliance patrol arrived in system before they found me. The slavers never caught me.
For a while I was broken. I lost my whole family, Talitha. My friends. My childhood. I had to pull myself up and keep going.
I fought. My whole family fought, and got hit by an artillery strike for their trouble. I got buried under rubble. If they saw me, they left me for dead.
Some say I am broken. I kill aliens for a living. To protect humans from them.
We were trying to evacuate people. The slavers hit us with artillery. When I woke up, I was the only one alive. They must have thought I was a corpse.
What's the last thing you remember from Mindoir?
With everything that happened that day, no one could blame you for hoping they'd just go away.
Talitha, you were what? Six years old? No one blames you for staying quiet and hoping they'd go away. The only person blaming you is you.
You couldn't have fought them off when you were a child. They were bigger than you. There were more of them. They would have killed you.
All right, you didn't fight back. So what? I've been in combat. I've seen people make bad decisions under stress.
You were just a child when this happened. You can't blame yourself for pulling the blankets over your head and hoping the monsters go away.
How did you get here? Did you escape?
The marines destroyed your world. As bad as it was, that was still the only world you knew. You didn't know them. They weren't safe.
You were afraid. All you'd known for 13 years was the "masters'" abuse. So you tried to heal them.
The marines who rescued you. They were the first humans you'd seen in 13 years. But you tried to heal your captors. Why?
Unbelievable. After everything they did to you, you wanted to help them?
You were rescued by Alliance forces. Didn't that make you happy?
What happened to your parents?
Listen to me. It's not your fault. You're not responsible. The slavers killed your parents. You didn't.
I know it hurts, Talitha. I'm sorry. But you need to deal with this. What happened to them? Think.
I don't want to hear that! You survived 13 years in a slave pen. You 're strong enough to deal with a memory.
Ignorance is stupid. Don't run from your past. Face it.
Tell me, Talitha. You know where your parents are. You just don't want to face it. What did you see?
Hold still!
Shh. You're not going back. They're going to take care of you.
Sorry, kid. When you wake up, you'll be in a place where they can help you.
I couldn't take the chance you'd hurt yourself. It'll be all right.
Stay calm. I'll back up a bit.
I'm going to leave now.
Urdnot Wrex Dialog13 lines
That's me. Commander Shepard.
Is there a problem?
Who wants to know?
Sounds like I did your job for you.
It's not my fault you were slow on the draw.
Taking care of Fist was part of my investigation.
You're going to pay me for getting rid of Fist?
Bounty hunters don't just go around paying off people who take their contracts.
You're a bounty hunter. What do you get out of going after Saren?
Why me? Saren's already got a lot of krogan working for him.
A krogan's more trouble than I need.
I don't want you on this mission.
We'll take you with us, Wrex.
Black Market Dialog13 lines
You were expecting a delivery of medical supplies.
Leave the doctor alone.
Leave the doctor alone. Or you'll have to deal with me.
You're shutting down a medical clinic. What if someone needs treatment? What if you need treatment?
Her secret stays buried. Or I bury you.
What do you know about Banes?
Maybe we can find a way to make both sides happy here.
You're not getting anything from the doctor.
That secret dies with you!
Let me see what you have.

Goodbye.
Chorban Dialog35 lines
Why shouldn't I kill you right here? Why are you willing to die for this data?
What's so important about this data? Why are you trying to get it?
Sorry, I can't put my gun away until the job is done.
And what exactly was I supposed to be delivering?
You can start by telling me the truth, Chorban.
Drop the act. I want to know what's going on, Chorban.
Just tell me everything you know.
No. But you're going to tell me. Everything.
Keep talking.
That's what all the fuss is about?
What's so special about that?
Why are you trying to kill your partner?
That doesn't explain why you're trying to kill your partner.
So you're just trying to get back what Jahleed already stole.
I should kill both of you idiots.
I'm not breaking regulations for you or your research. Return what you stole, or I'll have you arrested.
I'll deal with Jahleed.
If it'll help further the scientific cause, how can I refuse?
I suppose a little scanning here and there won't hurt anyone.
If I have time, I'll talk to him.
I'll go have a chat with him right now.
I suggest you stick to research and leave the espionage to the rest of us.
If you see me again, it'll be the last thing you see.
Let's go have a talk with our chubby friend.
I'm gonna show him what happens to people who lie to me!
I'll speak with him later.
Don't worry, you won't. Nobody attacks me and walks away.
So how do you gather data on the keepers?
How could I help you?
What data? What are you talking about?
Who are you? What do you want?
Drop your weapons. Now!
We don't have what you're looking for.
There's no need to let things get out of hand.
Come and get it, salarian. It'll be the last mistake you make.
Dr. Chloe Michel Dialog26 lines
You're a doctor? How did you end up here, on the Citadel?
Don't worry. I'm working on it.
I'll handle this my own way.
I'm still working on it.
He won't be bothering you any more.
I killed him.
The thug said he worked for a man named Banes. Sound familiar?
That's very generous of you.
What can you tell me about him?
We'll see what the captain can tell us.
I don't have time to look into it.
I'm just glad you weren't hurt.
Stick to medicine. You're not cut out for dealing with people like Fist.
Every time I come in here, I see someone threatening you. Who was that?
Who was that on the vid? What did they want?
Just tell me what's going on.
I might be able to help you.
Maybe I can get you out of this. Tell me what they want.
Give me your contact's name. I'll deal with this guy, whoever he is.
They won't bother you again. I guarantee it.
I'll make sure they don't tell anyone.
Don't worry. I'll take care of this.
You'll have to handle this one on your own.
Give me the details. I'll deal with this guy who's threatening you.
Let me take a look at what you have for sale.
I'll be going now.
Doran Dialog9 lines
I've got something you might be interested in.
Cheaters shouldn't prosper.
I think that tool should be worth something to you.
Are you the owner?
Is this a casino?
What can you tell me about the sisters working for you?
I should be going.
Goodbye.
Just passing through.
Expat Dialog6 lines
Show me what you've got.
What colonies are you talking about?
I'd like to know more about Feros.
What can you tell me about Noveria?
I should be going.
I think I'll be going.
Fist Dialog15 lines
Where's the quarian?
Tell me where the quarian is and I won't have to shoot you in the kneecaps.
You'd better start explaining before I lose my temper.
Put a round in his leg. See if he talks.
You've got three seconds to come clean. Then I start shooting.
Tell me where that meeting is before I blow your lying head off!
Give me the location. Now.
I'm in charge here! You ever pull another stunt like that...
We don't shoot unarmed prisoners!
A lot of people died because of him. He had it coming. Now let's move. We have to save that quarian!
Am I supposed to just forget your part in all this?
You're not my concern.
I never want to see you again. Is that clear?
Too many people died here, Fist. You don't get to walk away.
There's no time to waste. Come on!
Fists Guards01 Dialog3 lines
What did that other krogan want? Wrex?
Who's Fist?
Goodbye.
Fists Guard03 Dialog3 lines
This would be a good time to find somewhere else to work.
I just killed fifty bodyguards to get in here. What do you think I'll do to you?
Take them out!
Friendly Security Dialog5 lines
What do you know about Spectres?
Why'd you join Citadel Security?
How do you like working here on the Citadel?
Do you know a C-Sec officer named Harkin?
I have to go.
Garrus Dialog20 lines
Let her go!
What were you thinking? You could've hit the hostage!
You took him down clean.
Glad I could help.
I know those men threatened you. But if you tell us who they work for, we can protect you.
Why were they threatening you? Who do they work for?
Does this have anything to do with the investigation into Saren?
What quarian?
Where is she now?
Then what?
What else can you tell me about the quarian?
She must have something that proves he's a traitor. Did the quarian mention anything about Saren? Or the geth?
Time we paid Fist a visit.
You're a turian. Why do you want to bring him down?
I don't need a turian shooting me in the back when I least expect it.
You can come along, but I'll be watching you!
Welcome aboard, Garrus.
A krogan might come in handy.
Move out.
We can handle this on our own. Let's go.
Harkin Dialog23 lines
The name's Commander Shepard. Remember that unless you want to start picking your teeth up off the floor.
What do you know about Garrus?
You need to look in a mirror. Sober up and take some responsibility for yourself!
How well do you know Captain Anderson?
The captain's a good soldier.
What's it like working for C-Sec?
You got off easy, if you ask me.
I'm out of here.
Maybe later.
I'd rather drink a cup of acid after chewing on a razor blade.
I'll pass.
Call me princess again and you'll be picking your teeth up off the floor. Now tell me where Garrus is!
I'm looking for a C-Sec officer. A turian named Garrus.
Harkin, right? I was told you could help me find someone. A turian C-Sec officer named Garrus.
Is there something I should know about the captain?
Just tell me where Garrus is before this gets ugly.
I just need to know where Garrus is.
Why should I believe a drunk like you?
Why'd they kick him out?
You said they covered all this up. How did you hear about it?
You're a pig.
One more chance. Tell me where Garrus is. Now.
Just tell me where Garrus went.
Jax Dialog7 lines
Do you have the X mods?
I didn't come here to look.
Here you go.
I'll just take the weapons.
I'm taking you in, Jax.
Here's your money, Jax.
Sorry, Jax. This is the end for you.
Jenna Dialog4 lines
I need to talk to you about your work with C-Sec.
Have it your way.
This isn't a game, Jenna. These people are dangerous.
I'll wait right here.
Quarian Dialog5 lines
Were you hurt in the fight?
Don't worry about Fist. He got what was coming to him.
You've got proof Saren is working with the geth. Hand it over.
I don't have time for questions. I need the evidence you have against Saren.
My name's Shepard. I'm looking for evidence to prove Saren's a traitor.
Recruit01 Dialog4 lines
Just saying hi. Enjoy yourself, Private.
What can you tell me about the asari Consort?
That's fine, Private. Just tell me where to find her.
Can you at least tell me where I can find her?
Rita Dialog18 lines
I was glad to help out.
She wouldn't discuss it with me. But I think I might have a lead.
I talked to her contact. We might be able to work something out.
I've got to get going.
Can you tell me again where to find her?
I haven't spoken with her.
I should be going.
What were you discussing with the volus?
I won't pry. Good luck.
Get to the point.
I'm interested to hear what you have to say.
Being an informant is a dangerous job.
You can't stop her from making stupid mistakes.
I assume C-Sec is protecting her?
I hope it works out. Goodbye.
Do you know who her contact at C-Sec is?
Maybe I could help her understand just how dangerous Chora's Den is.
I'm good, thanks.
Schells Dialog16 lines
Doran caught me cheating and took it from me.
Actually, I gave your device to Doran.
Here you go. I hope it's what you're looking for.
I'm getting to it.
Why were you tossed out of there?
Seems the owner didn't like the way you played their games.
It still sounds like cheating to me.
Why do you need to record these outcomes?
Can you do that? Isn't that illegal?
I'll help you out.
I think I'll take my chances, the old-fashioned way.
What's in this for me?
Does the device help me win?
Why don't you just sell the device, then?
Goodbye.
Maybe I could get you the proof you need.
Septimus Dialog21 lines
I'm here on Sha'ira's behalf. Your lies are hurting her.
What's bothering you, General?
I think I can see why you're upset, but spreading these lies won't make it better.
Is she really worth it? There must be other women.
Some general! What kind of example are you to your troops?
General, did you ever win a battle by moping in a bar?
Never let the enemy see your weakness. You know that, General.
You need to start acting like a general if you want to beat this.
Do you really want to be remembered this way?
You're a damn general. Quit your whining.
This is no place for someone of your stature, General.
Now get up and get moving, General.
What do you want me to do?
What makes you think he'll believe me?
Why can't you tell him yourself?
Who am I taking it to and where is he?
Keep your datapad. I don't have time for this.
I've already got a lot on my plate, General.
Sorry, General.
Enjoy your drink, General.
Goodbye, General.
Trig 02 Jennas Contact Dialog3 lines
What did you just say?
Are you talking to me?
I guess we'd better go find out.
Doran Casino Dialog3 lines
I don't think you're going to take it from me.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm not hurting anyone.
Trig Gangmember Dialog10 lines
Have we met?
An impatient soldier. Who are you, and why are you in my way?
My history's a matter of public record. I've got nothing to hide.
So I ran with the Reds. That's behind me now.
The vids never tell the whole story. So what can I do for the Reds?
What was one of the Tenth Street Reds doing in turian space?
What was this guy arrested for?
You're not asking me to break Weisman out of jail, are you?
I'll talk to the turian and see what I can do.
My gang days are over, Finch. Get out of my way.
Turianguard Dialog28 lines
What do you want, Finch? What gets you out of my life?
My bio is public record. Everyone knows that I ran with gangs as a kid.
The Tenth Street Reds was a gang, not an Earth-first movement.
No. They won't.
What is this going to prove? I left that life a long time ago!
If you want humanity to be strong, a smear attack on the first human Spectre is a bad idea.
I'm trying to make humanity strong, Finch! Are you going to stand in my way?
We need the other races, Finch. That's the best way to strengthen humanity.
You think I care what the aliens think of me, Finch?
The aliens need me, Finch. I'm not going anywhere, no matter what stories you tell.
I can legally execute everyone in this bar. You think the Council cares about my shady past?
What I'm doing is too important to be derailed by someone like you, Finch.
Fine. Get out of here. We're done.
That's not the way I work.
I didn't need target practice. Don't you have a prisoner to guard?
You've got a prisoner named Curt Weisman. I'd like that prisoner freed.
What crime did Weisman commit?
What sentence is Weisman likely to receive?
Why are you calling him a xenophobe?
I'd rather not have to kill all your guards to free this man.
I'm a Spectre. I don't answer to you! Release Weisman. Now!
As a Spectre on an important mission, I'd like you to cut him loose.
I'm not suggesting anything. I'm just making a polite request.
Trust me on this: letting Weisman go will solve a lot of problems in the long run.
Thanks for the information. One of Weisman's friends was less than honest with me.
Forget it. This isn't worth my time.
I seem to have been misinformed. I won't take up any more of your time.
A human named Finch wanted me to use my authority as a Spectre to free Curt Weisman.
Captain Dialog15 lines
I still have some things to take care of.
Let's do it.
They pulled me off the mission. Just like when they forced you to give up the Normandy.
The Normandy's been grounded.
You had to know what was going to happen. Why didn't you warn me?
There's only one ship that can get me into the Terminus Systems undetected, and she's grounded.
If we steal the Normandy, you're the one left holding the bag.
Stealing the Normandy is mutiny. What if the crew won't help me?
I won't forget this, Captain. I promise.
What's the plan?
You're going to get yourself killed. There has to be another way.
There's got to be a better way.
You'll have a better chance if you go after the ambassador's computer.
It's your call, Captain.
If you're lucky, the patrols won't catch you.
Garrus Dialog4 lines
Who were you just talking to?
Sounds like you really want to bring him down.
Sounds like you came up empty.
Come across anything I should know about?
Kahoku Dialog19 lines
You sent a recon team out into the Artemis Tau cluster?
I'm not sure how to tell you this, Admiral. Your men were killed by a thresher maw.
They were killed by a thresher maw.
I found them. What was left of them. They ran into a thresher maw.
Somebody lured them there with an Alliance distress beacon. Placed it perfectly so they'd land right beside the thresher nest.
Anything you need from me?
I hope you find what you're after, Admiral.
I don't have time for this.
Captain Anderson said you had information on Banes.
You should have mentioned this earlier, Admiral.
I'll find them, Admiral.
I'll look for them if I have time.
Not yet, Admiral.
I appreciate that.
Sorry, I don't think we've met.
Who told you I was a Spectre?
Captain Anderson said you'd have information on Banes.
Is something wrong, Admiral?
I have to go, Admiral.
Captain Dialog7 lines
Tell me about this history between you and Saren.
What's our next step?
We need to deal with Saren ourselves.
He's a turian. I don't want him on our side.
Any idea where we could find him?
You can't just cut Captain Anderson out of this investigation.
I'll take care of it.
Saren Arterius Dialog7 lines
The mission to Eden Prime was top secret. The only way you could know about the beacon was if you were there!
You're the one who destroyed the beacon. Then you tried to cover it up.
You can expect me to kill you the next time we meet.
Saren despises humanity. That's why he attacked Eden Prime!
Saren's hiding behind his position as a Spectre. You need to open your eyes!
You can't hide behind the Council forever!
You've made your decision. I won't waste my breath.
Council Spectre Induction Dialog19 lines
Who's she?
She must be working with the geth, too.
The geth believe the Reapers are gods. And Saren is the prophet for their return.
Saren thinks it can bring back the Reapers. That's bad enough.
I tried to warn you about Saren, and you refused to face the truth. Don't make the same mistake again.
Fifty thousand years ago, the Reapers wiped out all galactic civilization. If Saren finds the Conduit, it will happen again!
Every time humanity asks for help you ignore us!
I can take Saren down.
You don't have to send a fleet into the Traverse, and the Ambassador gets his human Spectre. Everybody's happy.
It was a turian Spectre who betrayed this Council. And it was a human who exposed him. I've earned this!
I faced Saren on Eden Prime and exposed him for a traitor. I've proven myself.
I'm honored, Councilor.
I've been ready for this since Eden Prime.
What's my first mission?
Any idea where to find him?
I'll find him.
Until I find Saren, I haven't done anything. Come on.
What do you expect from a politician? Come on.
He's got a lot on his mind. Come on.
Grounded Dialog8 lines
How many ships are you sending to attack Ilos?
You think a blockade's going to stop him? He's on Ilos looking for the Conduit right now! What are you doing about that?
Sovereign's the real threat! Saren's just a servant of the Reapers.
Secrecy isn't his greatest weapon. The Conduit is!
One ship going into the Terminus Systems won't start a war. I can be discreet.
If Saren finds the Conduit, we're all screwed! We have to go to Ilos!
Are you insane? After everything I've done, you still don't believe me?
Nobody stabs me in the back, Udina. Nobody.
Arceliasilvamartinez Dialog7 lines
I get the feeling you don't like me.
Tell me more about yourself, Arcelia.
What can you tell me about the geth? Do you have any idea what they might be after?
What can you tell me about ExoGeni?
Tell me about Zhu's Hope.
You can't speak for yourself?
Goodbye.
Badraltalaqani Dialog3 lines
What's so important he needs to see me right away?

Calanthablake Dialog3 lines
Is there anything I can do for you?
I'm not going to catch anything from you, am I?
Goodbye.
Davinandersson Dialog14 lines
I took out what looked like the oldest of the varren. The rest are yours.
Can't you and the others hunt on your own now that the geth have been removed?
I'll look into it when I get a chance.
I could ferry in more than enough food to cover your immediate needs.
I should go.
Are you doing anything to remedy the situation?
I have a ship. I could bring in supplies from offworld.
I killed the big varren. The rest are yours.
Fork over the reward so I can get back to more important things.
Tell me about hunting varren.
Tell me about Zhu's Hope.
Why should I speak with Fai Dan? Why can't you tell me?
Tell me about yourself.
I have to go.
Faizhou Dialog30 lines
I'm just glad your colony is safe.
I'm interested in what Saren sent the geth to find. Nothing more.
I just did what I had to.
Help me find what the geth are after and you'll all get out of here alive.
Tell me what the geth want. Why are they attacking you?
What do they want?
What's ExoGeni?
How do I get there?
I didn't expect this would be easy.
Every geth I kill brings me one step closer to Saren.
We'll get going then.
There's a guy living down in the tunnels. Is he one of yours?
He seems to be more than just sick.
Don't you have medical supplies? Something to help him?
I found another group of colonists who survived the initial attack.
Some of the colonists are acting strange.
Tell me about your colony.
How big was the original Feros colony?
The Normandy isn't huge, but we could airlift you out.
What can you tell me about the defenses the geth have set up?
What do you need done to get this place back on its feet?
Is there anything I can do to solve your water shortage?
You mentioned something about a food shortage.
What's wrong with the colony's power supply?
Do you have information about geth in the lower tunnels?
I destroyed a geth transmitter in the tunnels. They won't be a problem any longer.
Let's talk about Zhu's Hope and Feros in general.
What else can you tell me about ExoGeni?
I wonder if that's what the geth are looking for?
I'll talk to you when I learn more.
Hanamurakami Dialog8 lines
Are you the captain of this freighter?
What's wrong with the ship? Isn't she spaceworthy?
What do you know about the colony?
What do you mean?
What do you do here?
It looks like you're monitoring something.
Maybe I can help you. What are you trying to diagnose?
Goodbye.
Hollisblake Dialog8 lines
What happened to your wife?
Is there anything I can do for her?
What do you do for the colony?
Do you know anything about this planet?
Do you have any idea what the geth were looking for?
Tell me about the colony.
Why can't you tell me? I just want to know about the colony.
I have to go.
Iannewstead Dialog10 lines
What are you doing down here?
You're not stopping me.
What's back there?
What's the matter with you?
I don't have time for this.
Who else is looking for the geth?
Is there anything I can do to help you? Do you even want help?
Maybe I should just put him out of his misery.
Fighting what?
I could help you if you told me what you're fighting.
Inoste Merchant Dialog10 lines
Let me see what you have in stock.
What will you do now that the fighting is over?
Goodbye.
Let me see what you have.
What's a salarian doing on a human colony?
What can you tell me about Zhu's Hope?
This place is barely holding together. Why stay here?
How do you keep things in stock in conditions like this?
What's your name, salarian?
Why is your name so long?
Machadoyle Dialog13 lines
The water's back on again.
You can turn on the water mains yourself.
I'll look into it if I have time.
I could bring in what you need with the Normandy.
I should go.
I have a ship fueled and ready to go. I could bring water in.
You know where to find the problem with the water.
You are very focused on the water, despite the constant attacks.
Tell me about yourself.
Tell me about the colony.
What do you know about this planet?
I have to go.
Is there anything I can do?
Mayoconnell Dialog3 lines
I found these power cells in the tunnels. Are they what you're looking for?
If I find anything while I'm looking around, I'll send it your way.
Would it help if I brought in some power cells from the Normandy? We can certainly spare a few.
Trigger Dialog5 lines
No hitting the colonists, even if the Thorian makes them fire on us. That's what the gas grenades are for.
Fire if you have to, but let's try to keep casualties to a minimum. They can't help themselves.
I want a clean sweep. Nothing hostile lives to take a second shot.
All right. Try not to tag the colonists, but we have to get through no matter what.
We don't have time to waste on these people. There's a galaxy at stake.
Thorianasari Dialog39 lines
You enslaved the colonists! You destroyed their minds. I don't know what Saren wanted with you, but I just want you dead!
You gave something to Saren. Something I need.
I won't let you keep your thralls. Release them. Now!
I don't argue with plants. Give me what I want. Now!
Give me what I need and I'll strike back at the one who betrayed you.
Is everything all right? Are you hurt?
How do I know this isn't some kind of trick?
How did you end up inside that... thing?
You chose to side with Saren. So did Matriarch Benezia.
Are you saying Saren can control minds?
Asari Matriarchs are among the most intelligent and powerful beings in the galaxy. How could one fall under Saren's control?
That's what you get for trusting Saren.
Saren's pretty quick to betray his own people.
Then why were the geth trying to destroy the Thorian?
What's the Cipher? And why did Saren need it?
Just give me some plain answers! Where is the Cipher?
So the Thorian taught Saren to think like a Prothean? How?
Where is the Cipher? How do I get it?
I need that knowledge to stop Saren!
You taught Saren. You can teach me.
I need the Cipher.
All I saw were more weird visions. It still didn't make sense!
I saw... something. It still didn't make any sense.
I can't spend any more time here. Not while Saren's still out looking for the Conduit.
You were allied with Saren. For all I know, you still are. I can't just let you walk away.
You change sides too often. I have no choice. You must die.
The colonists will need all the help they can get. They'll be happy to have you on their side.
Now that you're free of the Thorian, what are you planning to do next?
What else can you tell me about Saren?
Tell me more about this ship Saren has.
You said Saren uses it to manipulate his followers.
I want to know more about Benezia.
Instead, she became one of his most powerful allies.
Do you know what the Conduit is? Or where it is?
Is there anything else you can tell me about the Thorian?
The galaxy's a better place with that thing dead and gone.
Don't tell me you feel sorry for that thing.
I want to know more about you.
Farewell, Shiala.
Trig 01 Entry Dialog3 lines
That does not look like any plant I've ever seen. This may be... problematic.
We are going to need bigger guns.
Nothing's ever simple, is it?
Gunman Dialog19 lines
Time to get moving.
I haven't found your workstation or data yet.
I managed to find the data and transfer it to your OSD.
Just give me my credits and I'll be on my way.
I was there anyway. It was the least I could do.
It wasn't too difficult.
Do you have any idea what the geth were looking for?
Tell me about the data I'm getting for you.
Why work in the middle of nowhere if your skills are so useful?
I don't really have time to spare right now.
Everybody wants something. Hurry up about it.
What do you need?
I'm done with this planet.
This really isn't the time.
Sounds easy enough. What's the catch?
I'm listening.
You're awfully quick to trust me with this.
I'm not interested in this.
I'll look around if I get the chance.

You're not much of a people person, are you?
Do you have any idea why the geth attacked you?
Tell me about ExoGeni.
What are the company's "core interests"?
Tell me about yourself, Jeong.
I'm going.
Not this time, Jeong. You need to back down and let them go.
What do you think you're doing, Jeong?
What the hell are you talking about?
We can talk this out. Nobody needs to get hurt.
What are you doing to these people?
You're after the one unique thing Feros has: the Thorian.
Are you going to tell them about the Thorian, or should I?
I won't let you hurt these people any more. Drop your weapon or be prepared to use it!
Can't you see the inherent potential in this colony? Think of the promotional opportunities!
They recovered from an alien attack on a frontier world. Add that to your company profile.
Pitch it as "Humanity against all odds!" You could even sell tickets to wealthy adventurers.
You're a bean-counter, Jeong. I'm a Spectre. Tell me, how good are those odds?
Tell them the geth destroyed the Thorian.
It's worth a try, but I don't know if I can avoid harming the colonists.
Good plan. Except that the colonists stand between me and the Thorian.
Anything hostile will be eliminated.
Pay them. Give them passage off this world and be done with it.
They lose even more if they talk. Besides, there's no real crime to report if you let them go.
Make the offer sweet enough and they'll take it. And they won't risk losing it all just to talk.
If they talk, they lose everything for no reason at all. They'll stay quiet.
This isn't so bad. At least you have your life. You can start over anywhere.
Life isn't fair, Lizbeth. It's about time you realized that.
Let's get this over with.
You've gone way too far. This ends now.

I suggest you put that weapon down unless you're ready to use it.
Commander Shepard. I'm here to remove your geth problem.
Fai Dan and some of the members of Zhu's Hope are still alive.
I'll do whatever I can to keep them away from you. But I need some information.
Are we getting close to their base?
Just tell me where I can find them.
I'm not interested in your company secrets.
I can't stay here. I need to move on.
I told Fai Dan you were here. He's anxious to have you join him.
Where is your daughter, Juliana?
If she's in there, I'll get her out.
Do you know what the geth are after?
Tell me about the colony.
What brought you here?
What was the building used for?
How did you get split up from the Zhu's Hope colony?
They're fairly secure now. Maybe you should do that.
Stay bunkered down until I find out what the geth are after.
I'm listening.
You've got one minute.
What did you have in mind?
Releasing clouds of nerve gas doesn't seem like a particularly good idea.
Sounds good. I'll do what I can.
I'm not stopping to ask them to breathe deeply.
I'm not doing it.
I need to find out why the geth are after the Thorian.
I'll deal with the Thorian, then make sure you're safe.
What else am I supposed to do?
Anything that gets between me and my goal is fair game.

Jeff “Joker” Moreau Dialog6 lines
Is that you, Joker? What's going on over there?
They can't do any real damage. We're on our way back. Just hold your position.
Keep those colonists away from the Normandy. Gun them down if you have to.
This place will be crawling with geth in a minute. Keep together and we'll get out of here in one piece.
All right people, you know the drill. Let's move out.
We're leaving, but let's rid this place of those damn synthetics before we go.
Lizbeth Dialog27 lines
Who are you and what are you doing in here?
You're safe now. But why were you here in the first place?
A few geth won't stop me.
I'll fight my way through the geth soon enough.
We'll get you out as soon as we find out what the geth are after.
I'm here for the geth. If you know something, tell me.
I'm here for the geth. It's very important that I find out what they're after.
I need more information. I need to know why the geth are after this Thorian.
What else can you tell me? Do you know where I can find this Thorian?
Any suggestions?
Do you know how we can shut it down?
All right. I'll look into it. Stay put until the field is down.
Why do you think the geth would be interested in the Thorian?
Tell me about yourself.
She's with some others from the colony. She's safe for now.
Tell me what you know about the Thorian.
You stay put. I'll go open some doors.
I need some answers. You knew more about the Thorian than you let on.
You said you didn't know about the Thorian. I don't like being lied to.
You did what you could. I'll help them if you can tell me where to find the Thorian.
Where's the Thorian?
Just tell me where I can find the Thorian. No more lies.
But why are the geth after the Thorian? What could Saren want with it?
What bothers me is why the geth were after the Thorian in the first place.
What is it, Joker?
Thanks for the heads-up, Joker. You heard the man; let's move out.
You heard the man; let's move out.
Vi Dialog23 lines
Uh, how do you know I'm Lizbeth?
What information was the last user attempting to access?
What did you tell him?
Tell me everything you told the krogan.
What does Zhu's Hope have to do with the Thorian?
Tell me everything you know about the Thorian.
Are you saying ExoGeni knew its people were getting infected?
ExoGeni knew all along what would happen to those people.
Joker. Come in, Joker. Damn it. That field's blocking us.
VI, what can you tell me about the geth ship and the field it's generating?
VI, tell me about the field surrounding the facility.
We need to find that ship. Let's get moving.
Tell me about the Thorian.
Do you know how the creature controls its slaves?
What is the size of this thing?
Where is the center of this thing?
Is it intelligent? Can I reason with it?
What do you know about the geth?
I want to know about ExoGeni Corporation.
Who is in charge here? Who organized the research?
Please access "my" personal files.
What triggered the probation?
That's enough for now.
