This is Commander Shepard hailing SSV Normandy.

[Pause.]

Come in, Normandy.

[Pause.]

Goddammit, Joker, where the hell are you?

[Pause.]

Wait. Where did--

[In the background, there is faint shouting.]

Shit, Monodramon, what did you do?!

I'll admit, I haven't seen anything quite this... intricate before, but you'd be surprised what people put together when they're not all there in the head.

[raises an eyebrow]

Do you speak from experience?

[audio]

[renegadedriving]

I do. I've run into quite a bit of brainwashing.

[audio]

[genreawareness]

You have my condolences, then.

[audio]

[renegadedriving]

[. . .]

You seem pretty calm about all of this.

[audio]

[genreawareness]

Of course. There's no reason to panic.

[renegadedriving]

Easier to teach fighting than composure.

[genreawareness]

Perhaps.

I assume you're a soldier, then? You speak like one.

[audio]

[renegadedriving]

Yes. I work for the Alliance and the Council.

[genreawareness]

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with those terms.
