[Video] Location: Near Prima's temple

[The camera turns on to Shepard sitting on the nose of the mako, reclined with one arm supporting her from behind and the other resting on her left knee which was bent and the foot propped against the mako, the other straight out in front of her. In her non-support hand was an old-fashioned canteen which she's obviously just been drinking from, but the contents are a mystery.]

Well, I'm not a reaper anymore. That's giant metal space squid for anyone not from my universe. Thank whatever.

[The canteen was given a small lift in a half-hearted cheers.]

So. What's there for a career soldier to do around here besides drink and dig through trash? I thought about joining the police force. Maybe exploring beyond the settled areas. Thoughts? I'm pretty handy too. Give me some omni-gel and I can fix pretty much anything. Without omni-gel... I still have some skills. Maybe I got too reliant on the stuff... Anyhow. I'm good with my hands.

No! [Shep glanced at the canteen, then shook it, then looked into it. There was a LOT less liquid than she remembered.]

Tipsy.

I could take you on right now and still win, furball.

Right. Sure you could, mate. Sure you could.

[Yeah he's rolling his eyes at you, Shepard.]

And talking canines aren't annoying.

Talking what? Oh, dogs. I've never met a talking dog. You're the first thing that's talked to me that shouldn't. Except a trash can that thanked me for my contribution once. Weird.

.........Go home, you're drunk, mate.

You're looking at home.

[She reached back and gave the shielding of the mako an affectionate pair of smacks.]

I'm not drunk. You don't even know me well enough to know if I'm drunk. And if Wrex told you I'm stuck up or something it's not true.

You live...in a modded van.

[Clearly you should be by a river, Shep.]

Classy. And he didn't say anything. Didn't need to considering how you are now.

It's a tank. An ATV tank.

[If there was a river she would totally be living by it because rivers are strategic points. Water source, food source, getaway, cover, you name it. Besides, that joke is like 200 years before her time.]

Did he at least mention me?

Right.

And he might have. Maybe.

[His ears flick again and he looks bored, eyeing one of his paws slightly now.]
