[On the screen, Garrus, scratches the back of his neck uncomfortably.]

After the human reaper, I didn't think anything could surprise me. Universe just loves proving me wrong, doesn't it?

Come on, Garrus, introduce yourself!

Hmm? [Garrus looks off screen at the source of the high, friendly voice before turning back to look at the camera.] Oh, ah, right. Hi, I'm Garrus Vakarian, and, ah ... hmm ... little help, Patamon? [Once again, he looks off screen at his digimon partner after stumbling through that attempt at an introduction. He's just not very good at this type of thing, is he?]

Wh-wha? Don't look at me!

Right ... thanks. [And once again, the newly human Garrus looks at the screen.] I'm, ah, I'm kind of new here, so ... yeah. [He's not exactly an orator on the level of Shepard.]

[Oooh, he gets special mention? He likes that.]

I'm sure she'll only have good things to say about you too.

[video]

[headup_stickontheice]

Wha-- me, uh. Well, she's...pretty awesome, so... Yeah.

[video]

[calibrates_big_guns]

Yeah. [You can tell from the almost dreamy smile on his face that he's thinking about her.] Yeah, she is.

[Then something occurs to him.] How, ah, how long has she been here?

[video]

[headup_stickontheice]

[That dreamy smile's adorable, he knows that.] Um... long as I have, since the start of April. So... Two months.

[Wow. Two months.]

[video]

[calibrates_big_guns]

[Garrus looks a little surprised at that. It's not as long as he expected, but ... two months is still a long time. A lot can happen in two months.]

I see. Uh, thanks.

[video]

[headup_stickontheice]

You should probably talk to her about...stuff here, what's gone on. Don't wanna overstep... [A pause. Hold on.] But, uh, don't go out fighting Digimon on your own. Miss Shepard got her ribs cracked, when she tried, so...it's not a good idea.

[video]

[calibrates_big_guns]

I-- Wait, what? [Despite the fact that Shepard is the most capable person he's ever met, he, ah, he can still get a little protective. Hopefully that's normal.] What happened?

[video]

[headup_stickontheice]

Th-they're better now! Uh... There was kinda an...invasion. A bunch of Beemon. Miss Shepard tried to help a friend, but, uh... she charged one too big, got hurt. W-we made sure she didn't get anymore hurt, swear.

[video]

[calibrates_big_guns]

[He sighs, as if to say, "Damn it, Shepard." Still, it wouldn't be her if she sat back and let people get hurt. He nods, and gives a genuinely appreciative smile to Cam.]

Thanks. It's ah, it's nice to know Shepard still has people around to watch her back.

[video]

[headup_stickontheice]

[And Cam's biting his lip, but he doesn't deny it, because honestly he half-expects Neku to appear out of nowhere and give him a speech, or something.]

She'd've done the same. No way I couldn't. And...she leaves quite an impression. A lot of people here would've helped, if they could.

[video]

[calibrates_big_guns]

It's another one of her many talents.

[video]

[headup_stickontheice]

Yeah, it is.

[Cam gets the feeling they're gonna get along fine; they're both pretty appreciative of Shepard.]

[video]

[calibrates_big_guns]

Well, the Commander and I have some, ah, catching up to do, but I'm sure she'll give us a proper introduction in a little bit.

[video]

[headup_stickontheice]

[CATCHING UP......] Y-yeah, of course, I...have breakfast with her every morning, so...maybe then?

[video]

[calibrates_big_guns]

Sounds good. [He offers a friendly smile.] Nice meeting you.
