006- Accidental Broadcast [video]

[renegadedriving]

[Today's broadcast is brought to you by Shepard's D-Terminal... But she's not on the screen. Nor is Monodramon. Instead, it's shaky footage taken from eye level, and it very rapidly becomes apparent that it's battle footage. From Shepard's helmet.]

[Of the first 7 and a half minutes of this. (Spoilers for the end of Mass Effect 2! Those who don't want to watch all 7 minutes can get the gist from the first thirty seconds and a quick glance at 6:10.)]

[Why? Well. Shepard figured out how to transfer files from her helmet's eyepiece to her D-Terminal, and determined that clip dangerously classified and disturbing enough to flat up delete, rather than risk anyone stumbling upon it.]

[And Monodramon has just broadcast it to the entire network by mistake.]

There is something to be said for people showing their true nature and ability in a crisis.

...that being said some of us have much better odds then others of making it through...one of those things.

[renegadedriving]

Which is exactly why people who fight protect the ones who can't.

[badluckbabe]

Hmm...yeah you lost me there. Why risk my cute little butt for helpless strangers?

[renegadedriving]

Because if we don't have enough people, you're just as dead as the strangers.

[badluckbabe]

Right. All for one and one for all?

I just got done with having a team I couldn't count on. And I'd been working with those clowns for years.

[renegadedriving]

It's a little different when the team is everyone and the goal is 'don't die'.

[badluckbabe]

Nothing like desperation to make strange bedfellows.

[renegadedriving]

[Shepard resists the urge to smirk. That could be so sexual in any other context.]

That roughly sums up my entire life.

[badluckbabe]

Literally, figuratively or sexually?

[renegadedriving]

[Shepard snorts a laugh.]

Figuratively. My literal strange bedfellows aren't usually impulse choices.

[badluckbabe]

But they are born out of desperation? Well there's no shame in that I suppose so long as you got what you needed.

[renegadedriving]

If it was desperation, I wouldn't have picked the hard route.

[badluckbabe]

Depending on just what you need, every route is the "hard" route.
