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.]

Didn't really take the time to look at the machinery.

[Oh, thank god that gambit worked.]

Thank you. I knew I could trust you with this.

[Please let her be able to trust him with this.]

[superfan]

No, I, uh, imagine that might have been a bit difficult with all that was going on.

[ You know, the fighting and nearly dying and... stuff. ]

Y-yeah, right! Great. That you trust me, I mean.

[renegadedriving]

Reaper-tech is pretty far outside our understanding anyway. I haven't got a clue how they put that thing together.

[She smirks, just a little.]

Although I do know how to take it apart.

[superfan]

I'd love to figure it out if given the chance though.

[ Aw. That's the Commander he got to know and creepily obsess over. ]

I'll say! I wish... I could have been there to help you all.

[renegadedriving]

I don't know many people who could understand that kind of tech, to be honest.

[She pauses, then shrugs and smiles.]

We need the at-home guys too, you know.

[Please let this work.]

[superfan]

Not many people, sure, but I'm probably one of those few.

[ ... there's a small, resigned sigh. ]

Yeah, I- I know! I've been trying to help out how I can, too. Doesn't mean I still don't want to get out there on the frontlines sometimes though, y'know?

[renegadedriving]

[You know, that sounded... different from his usual bluffing.]

What do you mean?

[She nods in agreement.]

I understand. You ever think of getting involved in supply runs? They're a good way to help without getting shot at.
