Normandy SR-2 Crew Informational Board - Ground Crew
@mlaws [ADMIN] invited @nshepard, @jacobtaylor, @solusmordin, @gotokasumi and @zaeedmassani.
X.O. Lawson [ADMIN] changed the screen name of [6] users.
X.O. Lawson: Like Yeoman Chambers and I said in the chatroom for the whole crew, this board is for work related purposes, and is not a place to slack off on work hours. I trust you will use this chatroom appropriately.
Lt.C. Shepard: We won't.
Lt.C. Shepard: Where's Joker?
Opt. Taylor: He's not part of the ground crew?
Lt.C. Shepard: He is in my heart
Lt.C. Shepard [ADMIN] invited @jeffmoreau and @karinchakwas.
Lt.C. Shepard [ADMIN] changed the screen name of [2] users.
Dr. Chakwas: I'm not ground crew either, Commander.
Lt.C. Shepard: Because if you were the Collectors wouldn't have even managed to leave Alchera and my body would be even sexier than it is now.
X.O. Lawson: See, these types of comments are why Yeoman Chambers has sent me five messages concerning your mental stability.
Lt.C. Shepard: Kelly thinks I'm the best thing since sliced bread.
F.Lt. Moreau: hasnt kelly only known you for like 2 days
Lt.C. Shepard: I am pretty incredible, aren't I?
Spec. Goto: she is pretty cool i gotta admit
Spec. Massani: even if she can't walk for shit in heels
Lt.C. Shepard: I told you this Kasumi! Long dresses are in right now and I'm not a teenager anymore, my legs, yikes.
Spec. Goto: the little black dress is ALWAYS in and ALWAYS hot shep
Lt.C. Shepard: It was grey??
Prof. Solus: Shepard still fairly young and fertile for a human. Old for a salarian.
Lt.C. Shepard: …Thanks Mordin I love being reminded of my own mortality.
X.O. Lawson: You do look pretty good for a rotting corpse.
Opt. Taylor: Are we gonna skip past Mordin calling Shepard fertile?
F.Lt. Moreau: its not relevant shepard is chronically bitchless and i dont think shes ever slept with a human before, if shes slept w/ anyone at all
Lt.C. Shepard: I am still your boss, Joker.
Spec. Massani: not denying the accusations i see
Dr. Chakwas: When I asked if there was any chance she was pregnant at her last physical she almost threw up laughing.
Spec. Goto: very interesting
Lt.C. Shepard: I have slept with many people before.
F.Lt. Moreau: sha’ira doesnt count
Lt.C. Shepard: MORE THAN JUST SHA'IRA
Spec. Goto: isnt this gc everything you dreamed of, miranda?
Lt.C. Shepard: Just for those comments, Mordin, Kasumi, suit up. You're coming with me to get Warlord Okeer because unfortunately the laws of this ship wont let me take both our doctors and the crippled flight lieutenant.
Normandy SR-2 Crew Informational Board - Whole Crew
Lt.C. Shepard: Hello again crew! As many of you will be aware, we collected a tank-grown Krogan from Warlord Okeer's laboratory. I decided to wake him up. Meet Specialist Grunt. If there are any reported cases of xenophobia on my ship I will have you removed immediately following inquiry.
Lt.C. Shepard [ADMIN] added @grunt.
Lt.C. Shepard [ADMIN] changed the screen name of @grunt to [Spec. Grunt].
Spec. Grunt: wat idn thsi
Lt.C. Shepard: I'll get you a bigger screen, buddy.
Off. Goldstein: Commander?
Off. Hawthorne: There is a krogan who just poured the contents of the lexo fridge into his mouth.
M.Sgt. Gardner: At least the dextro fridge was empty.
Private Message: Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard, Executive Officer M. Lawson
Executive Officer M. Lawson: Why.
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: It's my ship.
Executive Officer M. Lawson: I do wish you had discussed it with anyone first.
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: He's sweet
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: And I discussed it with EDI.
Executive Officer M. Lawson: EDI has just informed me that he held you up by the neck and threatened to kill you multiple times.
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: EDI is a punkass bitch who tried to stop me
Executive Officer M. Lawson: I understand EDI's moral objections to… Grunt.
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: I don't have an issue with EDI – or anyone else – having a moral objection to anything I do. I don't want to be hero worshipped, or obeyed without reservation. But I have an issue when it's not a moral objection, it's a Cerberus rule.
Executive Officer M. Lawson: I see. Carry on, Lieutenant-Commander.
Normandy SR-2 Crew Informational Board - Ground Team
X.O. Lawson [ADMIN] added @grunt.
X.O. Lawson [ADMIN] changed the screen name of @grunt to [Spec. Grunt].
Lt.C. Shepard: Everyone say hi to Grunt
Spec. Massani: fuck kinda name is grunt?
Lt.C. Shepard: Bold words from the man who lives the closest to him
X.O. Lawson: How on earth are you so eloquent in speech but so barbaric in text?
Lt.C. Shepard: Joker has completely obliterated my ability to text
Lt.C. Shepard: Also I was a spacer kid all we did was text each other in class you’re so lucky I avoid spacer slang
Spec. Goto: edi added our accounts by role + last name does grunt only have a last name or is his name grunt grunt
Spec. Grunt: its grunt grunt now
X.O. Lawson: Wonderful, thank you so much for that, Miss Goto.
F.Lt. Moreau: what happened to okeer
Spec. Grunt: dad died before i could kill him so i now fight for shepard
Lt.C. Shepard: Needless to say, Grunt is my favourite and you all need to step up your game.
X.O. Lawson: Please can we re-dock at Omega. I need a drink, and the stuff in Kasumi's room isn't strong enough.
F.Lt. Moreau: aye aye xo miranda
Lt.C. Shepard: Let's go get this Archangel while we're there then
Lt.C. Shepard: Grunt, Zaeed, you're up
Lt.C. Shepard: But from what Aria T'Loak said he's holding out so this should be a cakewalk.
Spec. Massani: and heres me thinking you wouldnt wanna hang out with me anymore after zorya
Lt. C. Shepard: Zaeed, you couldn't get rid of me if you tried.

Lt.C. Shepard [ADMIN] added @garrusvakarian.
Lt.C. Shepard [ADMIN] changed the screen name of @garrusvakarian to [G.O. Vakarian].
Lt.C. Shepard: To anyone who followed my previous escapade against my darling ST&R co-worker Saren, you may already be familiar with Garrus. If not, we have a new Gunnery Officer and 3rd in command; Garrus Vakarian. I don't want to see anyone giving him shit over the fact I have a non-human crew. I've had one before and I'll have one again.
G.O. Vakarian: Glad to be on board, Commander.
M.Sgt. Gardner: I think you arrested me once
Normandy SR-2 Crew Informational Board - Ground Team
Lt.C. Shepard: Haha new Gunnery Officer guys be nice he's just taken a horrific blow to how ugly he was and is now on the search for more turian blood coloured paint
Lt.C. Shepard [ADMIN] added @garrusvakarian.
Lt.C. Shepard [ADMIN] changed the screen name of @garrusvakarian to [G.O. Vakarian].
G.O. Vakarian: Who’s going to tell her I have message history?
X.O. Lawson: Vakarian has message history, Commander.
Lt.C. Shepard: Yeah I noticed thanks
G.O. Vakarian: It's always nice to see your friends have such faith in you. Always wanting to see you at your best and most healthy.
Spec. Massani: it was not a cakewalk
Spec. Grunt: there were flametrowers pussies didnt know i was krogan
Lt.C. Shepard: Grunt had fun!
Spec. Grunt: heh heh heh
G.O. Vakarian: Glad to see you haven't changed, ma'am.
Lt.C. Shepard: Fuck I forgot u called me ma'am. Horrible.
F.Lt. Moreau: im amazed ppl still respect u enough not to use ur first name
Lt.C. Shepard: Nobody here knows my first name.
Spec. Goto: its nora. even i knew that
Opt. Taylor: i thought it was nova
F.Lt. Moreau: everyone thinks its nova but kasumis right idk how tho
Spec. Goto: ( -∀・)
G.O. Vakarian: I think my translator just died. That wasn't Galactic Standard
Lt.C. Shepard: …it's Nora
Lt.C. Shepard: Joker do not tell them why I'm nicknamed Nova or I will remove EDI's volume controls
F.Lt. Moreau: aye aye
X.O. Lawson: Don't you have a convict to be buying?

Lt.C. Shepard [ADMIN] changed the screen name of @jacquelinenought to [Spec. Jack].
Lt.C. Shepard: Everyone, Specialist Jack will be stationed below the forward batteries. Don't disturb her, and don't restrict her access to any Cerberus systems, she has the same ship-wide access the rest of the crew has. Jack, please send Doctor Chakwas and Professor Solus relevant medical issues, allergies and the like.
Spec. Jack: fuck u
Yeoman. Chambers: Glad to have you on board!
Spec. Jack: UGHHHHHHHH
F.Eng. Donnelly: why do we get the scary woman in our workspace
Normandy SR-2 Crew Informational Board - Ground Team
Spec. Grunt: do u think god stays in heaven because he too fears what he has created
Spec. Massani: what the fuck? whos introducing the kid to spy kids
Lt.C. Shepard: How did you recognise that to be Spy Kids so fast
Spec. Massani: i'm not an animal, shep.
Spec. Goto: grunt wanted to know about human warriors and culture
Spec. Massani: and you didn't invite me? i'm hurt, kasumi
Lt.C. Shepard: Spy Kids is a great place to start. Don't start the next movie yet. I want in, let's watch The Goonies.
Spec. Jack: shepard it is 2185 have you watched a single fucking film made in the last 200 years
Lt.C. Shepard: If I start Garrus will make me watch Fleet and Flotilla
Lt.C. Shepard: Also yes I have I've seen all the Blasto movies
F.Lt. Moreau: i remember going with cpt shepard to cmdr sheps apartment in the citadel while she was having her. long nap
F.Lt. Moreau: and there was a substantial amount of blasto merch. like. an embarrassing amount for any person, let alone a spectre
Lt.C. Shepard: What did mom do to it
G.O. Vakarian: Okay I will be addressing the Blasto shrine later but first of all
G.O. Vakarian: There's no proof I like Fleet and Flotilla
Spec. Massani: you hum the theme song a lot
G.O. Vakarian: SO YOU'VE SEEN IT
Spec. Goto: shep theyve made a new blasto film since u died
Lt.C. Shepard: Shore leave now
X.O. Lawson: Sorry Shepard, the Illusive Man needs to speak to you.
Spec. Jack: can u take me back to purgatory
Spec. Jack: this is worse than being taken prisoner
Normandy SR-2 Crew Informational Board - Ground Team
Lt.C. Shepard: I think if Kaidan got dicked down it would fix him
G.O. Vakarian: I'm not sure how I expected you to react to Staff Lieutenant Alenko returning but you continue to surprise me, Commander.
Spec. Goto: now im upset i didnt meet him
F.Lt. Moreau: hold on, kaidan?? kaidan was here??
X.O. Lawson: It would be really beneficial if you held off from the info board until we had processed the debrief, Commander.
Prof. Solus: Collector deterrent working wonderfully!
Lt.C. Shepard: I love being the test subject for my favourite salarian scientist’s bug spray
Opt. Taylor: I'm more interested in that Collector plasma gun you brought back, Commander.
G.O. Vakarian: Wait until you see it in action, Taylor. It's a work of art.
F.Lt. Moreau: can someone answer me about MY MISSING TEAMMATE
Dr. Chakwas: Alenko? How was he, did he look healthy?
Prof. Solus: No immediate worries on visual inspection.
Dr. Chakwas: Any signs of L2 repercussions?
Prof. Solus: Wasn't utilising biotics. Unknown. Did not show visible signs of physical pain. Emotional. Distraught. Could have affected perceptions.
Dr. Chakwas: That's good, I hope, but he was always adept at hiding his pain.
F.Lt. Moreau: guess ill die then
Normandy SR-2 Crew Informational Board - Ground Team
Lt.C. Shepard: Finally stopped ignoring the vid call request from Admiral Hackett
G.O. Vakarian: You're crushing my turian heart here, Commander.
Lt.C. Shepard: No that's the thing tho
Lt.C. Shepard: I'm not Alliance
Lt.C. Shepard: I haven't been for years, technically
X.O. Lawson: Yes, you were dead.
Lt.C. Shepard: No, before then
Lt.C. Shepard: ST&R only answers to the council
Lt.C. Shepard: Not their respective governments or militaries
Lt.C. Shepard: If we did so it would declassify too much council information that I can't share with Systems Alliance or Cerberus
Opt. Taylor: ST&R?
Lt.C. Shepard: Special Tactics and Reconnaissance, the Spectre program
Lt.C. Shepard: I didnt really bring it up when hunting down Saren because I didn't care enough and the stuff they were sending me on (Luna, Chohe, etc) wasn't interfering with finding Saren that much and was important but… Even though I was still on payroll I wasn't working for the Alliance, I was working for the council
Lt.C. Shepard: And i still am
Lt.C. Shepard: Even if Councillor Sparatus accused me of treason
Lt.C. Shepard: God lemme tell you Hackett was royally pissed when he asked for my Noveria report and 96% of it was redacted because it was technically council business
Lt.C. Shepard: Anderson eventually saw it when he became councillor and yeah it was just a normal report (ish. I mean. It wasn't a normal mission)
Lt.C. Shepard: It's so funny to me; the lengths they went to get a human spectre, when all it results in is one less lieutenant commander for them
Lt.C. Shepard: The Alliance never stripped me of my title but they can at any point because I'm not an employee anymore (can't take away my N7 though)
X.O. Lawson: I know another N7 graduate. I wish he had his N7 taken off him.
Off. Taylor: Please don't remind me, Miranda.
G.O. Vakarian: Oh wow. I never really realised that? Putting "Commander” in front of your name is so natural to me
Lt.C. Shepard: Yeah
Lt.C. Shepard: I mean I'm still lieutenant commander on this ship, Cerberus was a System Alliance black ops originally so the military structure is identical
Lt.C. Shepard: Point is, Hackett has no power over me and can't make me go into Batarian space because one of HIS scientists was illegally studying there
Lt.C. Shepard: “It'll cause an interspecies incident so we need you” yeah, that's a great idea, get the hero of the Skyllian Blitz to go to Batarian space because I am soooooo popular with Batarians. That's what my Star of Terra is for: good relations with the Hegemony
X.O. Lawson: I'll remove Aratoht from the mission list, Commander.
Normandy SR-2 Crew Informational Board - Ground Team
Spec. Goto: important announcement
Opt. Taylor: What? What is it?
Spec. Goto: just got concrete proof that miranda is a organic being i saw her express an emotion
X.O. Lawson: I suggest you stop typing, Specialist.
Spec. Goto: surprised u could type that thru ur tears
X.O. Lawson: You weren't even on the ground team?
Lt.C. Shepard: She was in the docking bay trying to buy Grunt a new dinosaur because I asked her to. Important business, I'm sure you'll agree.
Spec. Grunt: lawsun cried
LT.C. Shepard: Yes she did, but that's okay because expressing emotions is healthy and we encourage that Grunt
X.O. Lawson: Thanks, Shepard.
X.O. Lawson: It won't happen again.
Lt.C. Shepard: No you can always come see me if you're having emotions, Miri
Lt.C. Shepard: It's normal and healthy and I don't want you to feel like you can't show them
F.Lt. Moreau: says the woman who has never shown an emotion in her life
Lt.C. Shepard: You've met my mother don't act surprised
G.O. Vakarian: Captain Shepard invented apathy, she has a point
Lt.C. Shepard: She has many emotions! She just doesn't show them outside of family. Did I show you all the letter she sent when she found out I was alive
Spec. Massani: yeah. i thought we would have to rebury you because she fuckin killed you, sweetheart.
Lt.C. Shepard: It's the Hannah Shepard special
[NEW] [EXTERNAL - SECURE] Private Message: Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard [Normandy SR-2], Captain H. Shepard [SSV Orizaba]
Captain H. Shepard: Hello, Nora.
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: The two words that strike fear into my heart
Captain H. Shepard: A Miss Lawson told me this connection was secure enough for me to speak to you. You know her?
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: Yeah, she's my XO
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: Mom I'm so sorry
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: I wasn't in hiding
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: The alliance and the council didn't lie I really was MIA, presumed KIA
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: I don't know how much you were told but the SSV Normandy SR-1 was ripped in two. I went back to save my pilot. I don't regret doing so for a second, but I couldn't get to an escape pod in time. Myself and twenty-one crewmates died.
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: Miranda - Miss Lawson - brought me back through a lot of money and gene experiments
Captain H. Shepard: I see.
Captain H. Shepard: That does differ from the story I was told by the Alliance, but I never put much stock into their explanation after the much more genuine explanation from Flight Lieutenant Moreau. He cares for you, a lot.
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: I didn't know that my status had been leaked I would've told you first if I knew I promise mom
Captain H. Shepard: Why wouldn't you have told me anyway?
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: i dont really know how to tell you this
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: i was brought back for a suicide mission
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: (EDI, Miri, if you're reading this and I know you are, I don't care if this isn't shit I should be talking about. She's my mom and I didn't sign an nda)
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: Mom? You're showing as online but I haven't seen any messages.
Captain H. Shepard: Sorry, baby.
Captain H. Shepard: A suicide mission?
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: I didn't want to give you false hope that your kid was back if you're just gonna lose me again
Captain H. Shepard: Nora, who's making you do this?
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: Nobody mom
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: I know how it looks and I wake up disgusted every single day that I'm working for the organisation that was responsible for Admiral Kohaku’s death
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: Unfortunately, Cerberus are the only ones trying to stop the Collectors from stealing more human colonies
Captain H. Shepard: The Collectors?
Captain H. Shepard: You're going to go through the Omega 4 relay.
Captain H. Shepard: That is a suicide mission.
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: I love you mom
Captain H. Shepard: I love you too, Nora. How are you feeling?
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: I'm ok. Physically better than ever. Mentally, it's hard, but it's okay. I have friends with me, people I consider my family standing beside me
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: I am going to prove the galaxy wrong
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: I don't plan on dying on this mission, mom
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: but I'm prepared for if I do
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: The Collectors took my ship and my life away once, and I don't repeat mistakes.
Captain H. Shepard: I know you don't.
Captain H. Shepard: You're the bravest person I know. I shout at the stars for cursing me with such a daughter.
Captain H. Shepard: When you survive, I want to meet your crew. Need to make sure that they're good enough for you.
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: If we survive, they will be.
Captain H. Shepard: When. When you survive, Nora.
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: When we survive.
Normandy SR-2 Crew Informational Board - Ground Team
Prof. Solus: Please don't disturb Shepard and Taylor. Very upset.
G.O. Vakarian: Was the mission a failure?
Prof. Solus: No. Completed goal of discovering fate of Taylor's father.
F.Lt. Moreau: so…? i noticed we had passengers. is he one of them?
Prof. Solus: No. Alliance taking him. We are transporting the innocents.
Prof. Solus: …Need to tell whole crew not to let any men down there. Human men specifically.
X.O. Lawson: Don't worry Professor. I won't let any men below the crew deck.
X.O. Lawson: @gruntgrunt, come up ASAP. @zaeedmassani, can you grab Ken on your way up? I know the engineering suite isn't in contact with the hanger, but I don't want you guys to be seen through the overhead windows.
Spec. Grunt: im gonna see shepard
Spec. Massani: on it, lawson.

Lt.C. Shepard [ADMIN] changed the screen name of @thanekrios to [Spec. Krios].
Lt.C. Shepard: We're having a change to the humidity plans of the Normandy. To be more inclusive to our new crewmate, the humidity will be capped at 40% in communal areas of the ship, with the human crew room being set to the old rules.
Spec. Krios: You really didn't have to do that, Commander. I was perfectly comfortable in the Life Support.
Lt.C. Shepard: And everyone give a warm welcome to Specialist Thane Krios. I'll need to debrief you on the full plan of attack thus far, so come up at 09:00 hours GTS.
G.O. Vakarian: Isn't the captain's cabin the most humid in the ship? On account of the huge fish tank?
Lt.C. Shepard: Thane, I'll come see you.
Spec. Krios: That would be most kind, Commander.

Spec. Massani: he is sickingly polite aint he
Spec. Grunt: gross
Lt.C. Shepard: How are your audiobooks going Grunt?
Spec. Grunt: interesting
Lt.C. Shepard: Great!
Lt.C. Shepard: On another interesting note I was looking through the certificate of birth I got for Saren and it's his birthday next week
G.O. Vakarian: Sorry, what?
F.Lt. Moreau: i am so fucking scared
Spec. Goto: oh sweet how old is he
Lt.C. Shepard: One!! My little baby boy
X.O. Lawson: Did you name your space hamster Saren?
Lt.C. Shepard: If Saren disturbs you, you don't wanna know what my fish are called
F.Lt. Moreau: shep im scared of you
Lt.C. Shepard: Good! That's the plan!
F.Lt. Moreau: so fucking scared
Normandy SR-2 Crew Informational Board - Ground Team
Lt.C. Shepard: Who's not a biotic and available to sub in for Mordin
Spec. Jack: what happened like
Lt.C. Shepard: Some scammy Volus sold Eclipse Sisters a drug that causes biotics to go crazy but is also really toxic so I think it's best if we don't bring biotics on this mission in case it affects them more
G.O. Vakarian: I'm available. But Shepard?
Lt.C. Shepard: What?
G.O. Vakarian: You're a biotic.
Lt.C. Shepard: I'm a what
Lt.C. Shepard: Oh yeah, I am, but I'm only L3 and I don't really use them? I know I can reave but I don't know much outside of that
Lt.C. Shepard: Sorry, I was 17 when they were fitted and it was 2 years after brain camp closed, so I never really got training. I forget sometimes
X.O. Lawson: You have L5x like Jack and I, Shepard.
Lt.C. Shepard: I have what now?
X.O. Lawson: I told you this? It was with the medical document of your alterations.
Lt. C. Shepard: Oh
Lt. C. Shepard: I'm sure I'll be fine

Lt.C. Shepard: Our new specialist, Justicar Samara. Please be cordial; and remember; She is an Asari Justicar and you are a terrorist group under most multinational definitions. If she indicates that you should leave, or stop your conversation, do so. She will see this mission through to the end and while she is currently following my moral code, after the completion of this mission she will return to her Code. If you're respectful, maybe she'll give you a quick death.
Spec. Samara: Thank you, Commander.

X.O. Lawson [ADMIN] changed the screen name of @samara to [Spec. Samara].
Spec. Samara: If you have not read Commander Shepard's message in the all-crew chatroom, I would recommend it. It explains who I am and what I am doing here.
Off. Taylor: Can't wait to work with you, Justicar.
Spec. Samara: And you, Officer.
Spec. Goto: ur so direct for someone so hot
Lt.C. Shepard: I love your unwavering commitment to call half the crew hot
Spec. Goto: its cause theyre hot
G.O. Vakarian: I think it's only Shepard's commitment to the tattered remains of her professional identity that stops her doing the same
Lt.C. Shepard: No, it's my inability to form anything but familial relationships with most everyone I'm close with. Get it right.
Spec. Goto: yeah cause ur so good at forming meaningful relationships
X.O. Lawson: For once, I agree with Goto.
Spec. Goto: thats incredible lets make out
X.O. Lawson: I will send you to the closest thing we have to HR, Yeoman Chambers.
G.O. Vakarian: Commander Ma'am Sir Shepard the executive officer is being xenophobic by talking about HUMAN resources
Lt.C. Shepard: Thank you for your report, Gunnery Officer Vakarian. I will create a new branch that covers every species except specifically you
Lt.C. Shepard: Yahgs will have more say than you do Garrus
G.O. Vakarian: They already do.
F.Lt. Moreau: you are third in command??
X.O. Lawson: As second in command I can say it doesn't feel like I have say.
Lt.C. Shepard: Peace and love on the SR-2 Normandy
Spec. Samara: Are you always like this?
Spec. Krios: From what I can gather, Justicar, they are.
Lt.C. Shepard: Great! You're settling in fine. I need to go lie down and stop feeling sick. Inhaled a lot of that gas.
G.O. Vakarian: Maybe you should listen to me next time, Commander. Kasumi and I feel fine.
Lt.C. Shepard: Keep dreaming, Vakarian.

Lt.C. Shepard: Positive news on my best friend: Didn't shoot me in the head when given the chance
Opt. Taylor: I thought you were out shopping with Vakarian and Massani?
Lt.C. Shepard: It's funny how the night can go aint it
X.O. Lawson: Am I reading this right? Someone had a gun to your head?
Spec. Massani: it was garrus aiming his sniper rifle at her goddamn dome
X.O. Lawson: GARRUS DID WHAT
Lt.C. Shepard: You are missing the point Miri he DIDN'T shoot me
X.O. Lawson: THAT IS NOT THE POINT NORA
Spec. Goto: this is thrilling
Spec. Krios: Very interesting.
Lt.C. Shepard: How so Thane
Spec. Krios: I'll explain it to you someday.
Lt.C. Shepard: I am terrified
Private Message: Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard [not garrus], Gunnery Officer G. Vakarian [Garrus]
Garrus: I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favourite chat room in the Citadel
not garrus: i never shouldve invited u on the sr-1 what the fuck
not garrus: i was gonna ask if u wanted to come to see wrex with me if hes on tuchanka but noooo u had to act like a brat
Garrus: You should've known this would happen if literally anyone you knew took shore leave on Zakera Ward.
Garrus: Also: Sirta Foundation? Really, Shep? A non-profit health charity? You just had to get a discount there?
not garrus: how was i meant to know YOU took shore leave there
Garrus: Shep, I live on Zakera Ward. And we had to go there to meet with that stupid volus.
not garrus: i thought you lived in the lake
not garrus: or in kima district i guess
Garrus: Well…yeah, I did live in Kima District. But I never sold my apartment on the Citadel.
Garrus: Also? I can't swim. I'm a Turian?
not garrus: i dont even know u anymore garrus my son never lied to me like this
Garrus: I hate that I have to ask this, but do you mean Grunt or…
not garrus: go on
Garrus: Or Saren the space hamster.
not garrus: both are true. they dont lie like u do
Garrus: …I would like to see Wrex very much thank you
not garrus: ok a quick visit then i gotta take my boy to the doctors
not garrus: and mordin too
Garrus: It would be nice to see him again. I do hope he's there.
Garrus: Wait, what ward did you live in? You got an apartment, didn't you? I know all government employees get one so I hope you got one too. Not Tayseri I hope?
not garrus: no, thank fuck. kithoi.
not garrus: it's great i love the sensory gallery
not garrus: do u actually type properly or is that just how turian translates
Garrus: I'm writing in Galactic Standard, like you are. You know, the language all Citadel government employees – which we both are, or were, in my case – must speak and write at all times while on duty?
Garrus: Why do you type like shit when chatting to me
not garrus: cause i know u dont care if i use capitals
not garrus: oh
not garrus: im not very good at telling when my translator is working
not garrus: but its nice to know im hearing your real voice
Garrus: Right back at you, Shepard.
Private Message: Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard [supernora], Flight Lieutenant J. Moreau [jokies]
supernora: ok so
jokies: i dont want to know do i
supernora: have u ever
supernora: hooked up with anyone on duty
jokies: is it garrus
supernora: i hope u explode
supernora: answer the question
jokies: legit? no. i know youre my best friend and i love u dearly but before i cajoled (note: cheated and stole) my way onto the normandy i had dealt with too much shit over my busted bones that i never allowed myself to like anyone enough to consider hooking up with them
jokies: because everyone would see me as a fuckin sob story or use me as an excuse to mooch off my disability benefits which i dont use
supernora: yeah that fuckin sucks dude
supernora: ok back to the point
supernora: i may have asked my best friend (not you the other one) if he wants to hook up
jokies: holy fuck
jokies: he said no right? and you're looking for ways to recover your friendship?
supernora: NO HE SAID YES
jokies: oh my god ur gonna get railed by a turian
supernora: no he is going to get railed by a human get it right
jokies: arent we allergic to turians
supernora: sorta? its the other way around i think. or it varies. im not sure. im getting allergy tested anyways.
jokies: damn ur serious about this
supernora: yeah i am
supernora: he was really surprised so im gonna have a few more convos to make sure hes actually comfortable and not just saying yes because im his boss
jokies: be careful, alright? i dont want either of you to get an allergic reaction.
supernora: we'll both get tested i promise
jokies: if u had told me two years ago that you and detective jackass would ever hook up i wouldve said youd been corrupted by sovereign
supernora: this is unreal joker

Lt.C. Shepard: So, The Illusive Man
Lt.C. Shepard: Actually, fuck spelling that out his name is an acronym now and I'm calling him Tim
Lt.C. Shepard: okay, so Tim tricked us
Lt.C. Shepard: Which first of all, what the fuck, second of all
Lt.C. Shepard: I had to fight so many fucking Collectors and husks
Lt.C. Shepard: Does he realise I'm an infiltrator sniper.
Lt.C Shepard: You're telling me he could've given me warning and then I could've prepared myself more for using my Locust?
X.O. Lawson: Shepard, I'm upset with him too, but we were going into a Collector ship. You can't be surprised that there were Collectors.
Lt.C. Shepard: Miri you have never known pain until you have a weapon with 13 total shots and 40 husks flying at you
G.O. Vakarian: She's right.
Spec. Jack: those bastards put up a nasty fuckin fight
Spec. Jack: then there was that fuckin giant ass bug
Spec. Massani: thank fuck grunt was there
Spec. Grunt: dont like fighting enemys that hide. come and fight me cowards

Spec. Grunt: i will kill them for u battlemaster
Lt.C. Shepard: You're still my favourite ily

Spec. Goto: u know when u get ur hot and cool friend a cute dress and then she turns around and goes to an exclusive nightclub in the most basic bitch outfit that the asari and humans wear constantly
Lt.C. Shepard: I was going undercover, Kasumi
Spec. Goto: i was talking about my good friend alison gunn
Spec. Grunt: i dont get it
Lt.C. Shepard: She means me Grunt
Spec. Goto: it was b r o w n .
Spec. Samara: Thank you again for helping me, Shepard.
Lt.C. Shepard: Anytime, Samara
G.O. Vakarian: Shepard owns a dress?
Spec. Goto: oh boy does she
Lt.C. Shepard: It does nothing for my reach and flexibility
Spec. Goto: sexy as hell tho
G.O. Vakarian: Interesting
X.O. Lawson: I'm sending Yeoman Chambers to you as we speak.
Spec. Massani: im surprised shepard ever shows skin, seeing as her uniform covers every part of her skin from the neck down, hands included
Spec. Jack: shep has rickets pass it on
Lt.C. Shepard: I'm already getting Vaenia and Expel 10 adverts on my omnitool cause I mentioned them don't tell me I have rickets too
G.O. Vakarian: You know Vaenia and Expel 10? I love the soundtracks and their music! It's part of my battle music :)
Spec. Goto: your battle music includes the turian national anthem, fleet and flotilla and shitty club music
G.O. Vakarian: My music taste is excellent
Lt.C. Shepard: We should've sent Garrus to take down Morinth, good god
Spec. Grunt: ive seen vaenia too

G.O. Vakarian: You mind explaining why I got a bomb threat in the news today while shopping @nshepard?
Lt.C. Shepard: In my defence it was really funny
G.O. Vakarian: Blowing up my ward is funny??
Lt.C. Shepard: I didn't REALLY set a bomb, it was simply a jest. Some funny business
Spec. Krios: Shepard was following my son's target, and used fear tactics to get a Citadel worker to leave her be.
G.O. Vakarian: This insane behaviour on behalf of the first human ST&R operative is exactly why I shall be voting for Joram Talid at the next election
Lt.C. Shepard: I’m docking your pay for that one Vakarian
G.O. Vakarian: Wait, I'm meant to be getting paid?
Private Message: Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard [not garrus], Gunnery Officer G. Vakarian [Garrus]
Garrus: You're a complicated woman, Shepard
not garrus: do tell
Garrus: You told me not to kill Doctor Saleon, but had no issue shooting Harkin. You wouldn't let Zaeed not save the foundry workers to get Vido but you also used violent interrogation techniques to get information about Kolyat.
not garrus: guess im becoming more like you vakarian
Garrus: How so?
not garrus: doctor chakwas says positive actions will heal my scars, negative actions will deepen them. my scars are still the same as when i woke up
not garrus: its like a balancing act, i suppose.
not garrus: do you remember when we were tracking saren and all any human asked me was if i was abandoning earth to serve the council
not garrus: im not earthborn! i know its where my species comes from but i dont have any more of a connection to it than joker does as a colony boy
not garrus: i am so fucking sick of people assuming that i could be a spectre that only focused on humanity, or only had human-centric interests. basically an alliance soldier who didnt have to follow the law.
not garrus: you tell me that you dont think youre a very good turian, and i dont think im a very good human, garrus.
not garrus: i love my species. but i love your species too. and the salarians. and the krogan. and the asari. and the drell. and the quarians. and the hanar. and the elcor. and at least some batarians. i love them all, and when i accepted the position of spectre - both times - it was with that interplanetary love in my heart
not garrus: that wasnt what you were talking about but.
not garrus: when this is all over, i think i’d like to become a st&r peacekeeper. not someone who has to stamp down revolts but like. i wanna build bridges
Garrus: I was worried you had changed because of me, or because of Cerberus.
Garrus: You have changed, Commander, but I think it's okay.
Garrus: But then again, we're both terrible examples.

Lt.C. Shepard: Y’know I've been thinking
F.Lt. Moreau: dont
G.O. Vakarian: I'm hiding under my desk in fear
Lt.C. Shepard: Both of you are fired
Lt.C. Shepard: I was thinking about what Nihlus would think of me
Lt.C.Shepard: If he would still want me in ST&R
Opt. Taylor: Was Nihlus your sponsor for the Spectre programme?
Lt.C. Shepard: Yeah
Lt.C. Shepard: Didn't get much of a chance to know each other
Lt.C. Shepard: Died on Eden Prime, along with Corporal Richard Jenkins
Lt.C. Shepard: He was from Eden Prime
Dr. Chakwas: I know we both think about Jenkins a lot, Commander.
Lt.C. Shepard: yeah :(
Lt.C. Shepard: Gunnery Chief Ashley Williams too
Off. Taylor: I knew Gunnery Chief Williams, when I served on Eden Prime. She was incredibly dedicated.
G.O. Vakarian: Feeling wistful today, Shepard?
Lt.C. Shepard: Yeah
Lt.C. Shepard: Thane's good at making you reminisce
Spec. Krios: My apologies, siha.
F.Lt. Moreau: why does the entire galaxy refer to spectres as spectres but the spectres call it st&r
Lt.C. Shepard: Blasto
Lt.C. Shepard: And our attempts to have at least a little dignity and cover when we just say we work for the Citadel Government. “ST&R division of the Citadel Government” sounds better sometimes, and isn’t as immediately obvious.
Lt.C. Shepard: Doesn't work for me, everyone knows I'm in ST&R but still sounds a bit more professional
Lt.C. Shepard: One day I'll be your sponsor for ST&R Garrus

Spec. Jack: everyone is invited, attendance is mandatory and i want everyone to be drunk off their balls
Spec. Goto: does the survivor get a prize
X.O. Lawson: Yes, they get Shepard's hand in marriage.
X.O. Lawson: For legal reasons Yeoman that is a joke
X.O. Lawson: Not the fight. That's really happening. Shepard gave us explicit permission.
F.Eng. Donnelly: the commander has previously allowed gambling on the ship. i assume the same is allowed in this circumstance?
Spec. Jack: if shep says no the queen of the girl scouts is a fucking coward

G.O. Vakarian: Yes, Wrex is Chieftain now. Also, Shepard found herself a new pet. You're never gonna fucking believe what it is.
Lt.C. Shepard: He's a varren named Urz and I love him a lot and Vakarian is a coward

jokies: ur kidding me

Prof. Solus: Maelon recovery not gone to plan. Apologies for wasted trip.
Lt.C. Shepard: It’s alright, Mordin. Glad to have resolved it.
G.O. Vakarian: We stopped the experiments, that's what matters.
Lt.C. Shepard: And we rescued that scout
Prof. Solus: Indeed.
Prof. Solus: Over feelings now. Come to lab for shots.
Spec. Jack: has mordin finally snapped
Spec. Massani: what the fuck are you gonna do to us
F.Lt. Moreau: is mordin gonna shoot us
Prof. Solus: Tuchanka full of radiation. Come get iodine shot. Grunt and Garrus immune.
G.O. Vakarian: Imagine not having natural protection against severe radiation on your planet
Spec. Goto: even those of us who didnt go planetside?
Prof. Solus: Yes. Normandy has radiation protection but leaks always possible. Get iodine shot to be on safe side. Will tell whole crew.

F.Lt. Moreau: thats a low bar
X.O. Lawson: And Doctor T'Soni is missing.
Lt.C. Shepard: I was getting to that
F.Lt. Moreau: liara is missing???
Lt.C. Shepard: She's been doing a lot of threatening people and then she got shot at in her apartment and ran off. Probably by a Shadow Broker agent.
Lt.C. Shepard: Operative Vasir, Miranda, Grunt and I are on our way to where her message said she went
Lt.C. Shepard: Also: she has my armour. Like the armour I got on asteroid x57. Why??
Spec. Goto: didn't she steal your body? i heard she did
X.O. Lawson: Doctor T'Soni is how we recovered Shepard's body, correct. She stole it off of the Shadow Broker and gave it to us to revive Shepard.
Lt.C. Shepard: She didn't get my helmet that crashed with the SR-1
X.O. Lawson: That just meant you died without your helmet on, Shepard. It's a miracle we managed to recover enough of your neurons.
Lt.C. Shepard: if I weren't the direct result, I'd say what you did was solely in the realm of science fiction
Lt.C. Shepard: The fact I got most of my memories back – the important ones anyways – is a fucking miracle and I'm grateful for you Miri
Lt.C. Shepard: I don't say it enough
X.O. Lawson: I'd do it again if I had to. For you.

Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: vasir was right
Detective G. Vakarian: Vasir being the Spectre you met?
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: yeah. i dont agree with them working for the shadow broker but they were right that i cant abhor them for doing that when i work for a literal fucking terrorist organisation
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: its so fucked up of me to try to do so
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: the universe is committed to not letting me meet any co-workers without them ending up dead, huh?
Detective G. Vakarian: Shepard, I promise that if I'm ever made Spectre I will do my best not to die

not garrus: no not at all
not garrus: shit
not garrus: she was at freedoms progress
not garrus: and apparently cerberus has done some shit to the flotilla
not garrus: she trusted me because i remembered the data i gave her for her pilgrimage and i wouldnt let cerberus take the survivor
not garrus: but her dossier says shes doing work for the flotilla
not garrus: i dont want to pick her up before she's finished and have her feel like im making her choose between her home and people and a pro-human terrorist group
Garrus: I get that.
not garrus: looked up the planet shes at, its an old quarian colony that has a sun thats acting strangely
not garrus: so it doesnt seem like shes in danger to anything but solar radiation
Garrus: You said something very similar two years ago when you waited until after Virmire to pick up Liara (you know, so we had to drop that fun news that we killed her mother)
Garrus: Oh, and then there was a few weeks ago where you thought the devilishly handsome Archangel was going to be fine and sexy forever holding out against three gangs all at once.
not garrus: WHY DO I KEEP U AROUND

X.O. Lawson: You heard the Commander. This will be the last shore leave before we leave to collect the Reaper IFF, so make sure all items are completed before the shore leave. I don't want to see any failed systems due to lack of upkeep. Tell Cmdr. Shepard, myself or EDI if you have any concerns.
Yeoman. Chambers: No concerns from me! Crewmen should check their email for the wellness memos from myself, and for popular dextro and levo hangover remedies! I've found ones that are non-toxic to each chirality :)
Dr. Chakwas: That's very kind of you, Kelly.
F.Eng. Daniels: Do we have to stay on Zakera ward?
Lt.C. Shepard: Nope. For your safety, don't wear Cerberus uniform outside the ship, but you have no special restrictions on where you can go. Cerberus is an avowed enemy of the council, don't make it clear you work for them.
F.Eng. Daniels: Thanks! Kenneth, Sarah, Vadim, we're going to Purgatory (the bar)(not the prison)(everyone else is invited of course just these three have no choice)

F.Eng. Donnelly: you got it, garrus
X.O. Lawson: Don't you have a chatroom together for all the engineering needs?

G.O. Vakarian: Speaking of, someone help me get her out, her apartment is in Kithoi Ward and I don't think I could get her there on my own, so I'll need to take her back to her cabin.
Spec. Krios: I'm in Lower Zakera. I'll come help you.
Private Message: Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard, Executive Officer M. Lawson
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: miri do u hate me
Executive Officer M. Lawson: What? No, of course not. I thought we were friends now.
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: sorry said that wrong
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: did u used to hate me
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: when u were fixing me up
Executive Officer M. Lawson: Wouldn't say I was completely fond of you, but no, I never hated you.
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: then why did u give me a uterus
Executive Officer M. Lawson: Did you not have one before?
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: yes but being bedbound with a towel wrapped around myself so i dont have to rewash the bedsheets is not my favourite activity miri
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: i think your adaptations to my endocrine system have literally sent my hormones into overdrive i'm bleeding so much
Executive Officer M. Lawson: I'll send someone up with painkillers and a hot water bottle. And we'll look into hormone reduction.
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: thank you
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: do u think mordin and karin would remove it if i asked nicely
Executive Officer M. Lawson: I'm assuming you don't want children then?
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: i have a kid
Executive Officer M. Lawson: What?
Executive Officer M. Lawson: Oh, Grunt.
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: and i dont think ive ever been in love with a human before
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: either way, mom couldnt be a field soldier after she had me
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: and i'm older now than she was when she had me
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: id adopt but biological kids? not my thing
Executive Officer M. Lawson: I get it.
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: why did u send garrus up
Executive Officer M. Lawson: Because watching him dote on you is very amusing to me.
Lieutenant-Commander N. Shepard: i'm convinced you hate me again

Lt.C. Shepard: @jacobtaylor @gotokasumi @zaeedmassani What's Earth like?
Opt. Taylor: You… you've never been?
Lt.C. Shepard: I went to Rio de Janeiro
Lt.C. Shepard: for ICT and N-school
Lt.C. Shepard: but I don't know what it's like outside of the military areas
Spec. Goto: thats wild
Spec. Goto: its really built up, and japan is still pretty human but there were always a lot of quarians
Spec. Goto: its popular for pilgrimages because earth has shitty pollution lol
Opt. Taylor: Yeah, it's a lot like Terra Nova (which I KNOW you have visited)
Spec. Massani: most of the new territories take more alien ideas for building design but terra nova and shanxi are still very human
Spec. Goto: oh yeah zaeed is old enough to remember pre-first contact war lol
Spec. Massani: shut up
Opt. Taylor: Earth as a whole isn't xenophobic but a lot of xenophobes go to Earth
G.O. Vakarian: Surprised they can navigate themselves through your littered stratosphere
Opt. Taylor: You just won't come to Earth because it's 70% water
G.O. Vakarian: 70%? That’s way too much fucking water oh my god
Opt. Taylor: Let's go swimming, Vakarian

Lt.C. Shepard: Wonder how Grunt feels about a new sibling
G.O. Vakarian: …What does this have to do with the Reaper IFF mission
X.O. Lawson: Shepard, I know you said you'd talk to it, but I strongly advise against this. Even if you don't take my suggested plan of action, I believe having it in the manner you're suggesting to be a massive security problem that you should think over. That's not Cerberus talking, it's me.
Spec. Grunt: i like it
Spec. Grunt: shot good
Lt.C. Shepard: That's all I needed to hear
X.O. Lawson: Shepard, no.
Lt.C. Shepard: Shepard yes

Lt.C. Shepard: Important announcement/shipwide debrief: The Reaper IFF was successfully recovered, and EDI is hard at work trying to safely copy the code so we can utilise it to cross the Omega 4 relay.
Yeoman Chambers: That's fantastic news!
F.Eng. Daniels: Does EDI need more juice in the AI core?
E.D.I: No, Flight Engineer Daniels, but thank you for asking.
Lt.C. Shepard: On other news, there was a Geth vessel inside the Reaper. I've spoken to this vessel, and it has collectively named itself Legion based on EDI's suggestion, and it has pledged itself to assist us on this mission.

Lt.C. Shepard: Hey everyone. We're going on shore leave. Three GTS days. If you've recovered from your injuries and wish to leave the ship permanently, send me a leave request and I'll grant it, no questions asked.
Opt. Taylor: Good luck getting any takers for that one.
Off. Hawthorne: Thanks, Commander. But it's going to take more than that to get us to abandon you.
Off. Goldstein: If Hawthorne, who was the most injured of us all says that, there's no chance you're getting rid of the rest of us.
F.Lt. Moreau: hawthorne you almost died protecting my crippled ass
Off. Hawthorne: And I'd do it again
Off. Rolston: You prevented what happened to my colony from happening anywhere else.
Off. Patel: Absolutely. Honestly, this feels like false advertisement. Surviving a suicide mission. You're incredible, Commander.
F.Eng. Daniels: Gotta try harder than that to get us out of your hair, Commander.
Off. Matthews: Hadley's on his rest cycle but he would agree, we're not leaving until we're made to.

Lt.C. Shepard: Well, it's happened. The Alliance has officially called for my arrest for working with Cerberus. To prevent unnecessary stress to my mother and to make sure they don't label me a fugitive, I will be turning myself in. Give myself a better chance at trying to get anyone to listen about the Reapers. I am, however, taking the long way there. To all members of the crew – We will be stopping at Omega, Illium, Palaven, Sur'Kesh, The Citadel, Terra Nova, Elysium and finally Tuchanka. Please make arrangements to leave at any one of these locations. I cannot guarantee your safety if you're still on board when we reach the Sol system. If you need to be on Earth, go to the Citadel and get civilian transport. Be good. Do good. Be ready for when the Reapers come.
Lt.C. Shepard: It's been the time of my life, everyone.
