02:12we all did
02:13i had to do something
02:15how did you get that armor
02:21oh they make some pretty convincing replicas these days

02:25getting the whole getup was pretty expensive
02:28but my wife was really supportive
02:30she even paid for my shuttle fare off world
02:33so you just wander the galaxy
02:39righting wrongs
02:40hey don't say it like that
02:42i talk to people you know
02:44ask them if they have big problems
02:45that only i can solve
02:47you'd be surprised how many people
02:48are just waiting for someone to talk to them
02:50sometimes i poke through crates too
02:53you know for extra credits
02:55any decent security system will detect
03:00that you aren't in the military
03:01much less part of my squad
03:03i just say that i'm deep cover
03:05and don't appear on systems
03:06i'm doing the best i can
03:08okay you were a hero
03:11you saved the galaxy and showed everyone what humanity could do
03:15and then you died
03:17the galaxy needed someone like you shepherd
03:19we all did
03:21i had to do something

04:21anyway this is eternity
04:23and i'm atheta
04:25a sorry matriarch and bartender
04:27get you anything
04:28you're an asari matriarch
04:33i thought matriarch served as honored advisors
04:36right
04:37which i do here at this bar
04:39i know
04:40not what you'd expect
04:42but nobody on thesia wanted to listen to my wise counsel
04:45so here i am
04:47dad was a krogan who fought in the rachni wars
04:49my mother
04:51fought in the krogan rebellions
04:53i've pretty much seen it all
04:55your mother fought in the krogan rebellions
05:01i don't know whether she fought
05:03she scouted
05:04sniped a few people
05:05and blew up a couple of space stations
05:08you know
05:08commando stuff
05:09she put the old commando leathers on
05:12for special nights with dad
05:13goddess that was embarrassing
05:15if your mother fought in the rebellions
05:20and your father was a krogan
05:21didn't that cause tension
05:23they didn't meet until a few hundred years
05:25after the taurians put the boot in
05:27with the damn genophage
05:28as far as either one knew
05:29they were both just warriors
05:31dad boasted
05:32mom stayed quiet
05:33mom was a matriarch herself
05:35dad was near on a thousand
05:37when the truth came out
05:38what happened when he found out
05:40i was about a hundred
05:42shaking my ass in some sleazy bar
05:44they got me on the link
05:46told me that they were
05:47gonna have it out
05:48and made me promise to love
05:50whichever one survived
05:52turned out to be damn easy
05:54since neither one did
05:55family huh
05:57what a kick in the quad
06:00you said your father fought in the arachni wars
06:08yeah
06:09when he was young
06:10love showing off his war scars
06:12krogan thinks they're sexy
06:14me
06:14i go for asses
06:16i was a girl
06:18he'd tell me about landing on this poison filled world
06:21and stomping arachni queen at a muck
06:23scientists say all that stuff about us
06:26getting genetic material from the father is crap
06:28seems like i got a bit of his mouth though
06:32what's it like living for nearly a thousand years
06:40violent
06:41wars break out
06:42colonies get destroyed
06:44mendwar
06:45eden prime
06:46pharos
06:46it's been like that forever
06:48you find peace in whatever arms will hold you
06:51turian
06:52elcor
06:53hanar
06:53even had a pureblood daughter
06:56i was the father
06:57didn't work out
06:58and one day you wake up
07:00your figure's gotten matriarchal
07:02and everyone else is too young to remember
07:04how the quarians looked inside those suits
07:06why is a matriarch in a bar serving drinks
07:13it's better than what most other matriarchs are doing
07:17look at that screw up with sarin and his geth a few years back
07:20their ships were hanging bare assed in space when sarin started shooting
07:24if not for you humans we would have bought it right there
07:26and i warned him
07:28told people on fessia what was coming and they didn't want to hear it
07:31what didn't they want to hear
07:34that art and philosophy and political prowess wasn't gonna cut it
07:39we can't go a single asari lifetime without some big war breaking out
07:43we need to get our daughters working earlier
07:45not spending their wild maiden years stripping or in merc bands
07:49when i started talking about making new mass relays ourselves
07:52they laughed that blew up my ass
07:54so now i serve drinks
07:57thanks for telling me about that
08:03that's what i'm here for babe
08:04catch you anything else
08:06just looking around
08:12right
08:13don't eat the nuts and the red bulls
08:15they're for turians and quarians
08:17you'll get cramps
08:18there's
08:32there's
08:41that's
08:45I still don't see why we're here.
09:11Salarians do not get married.
09:13My family simply negotiated a reproduction contract.
09:17Whatever.
09:17It's the closest you guys get to a wedding.
09:19And that means you get a bachelor party.
09:22End of story.
09:43Do you have anything flashier?
10:00I want something that says,
10:02I own this room.
10:05I own you.
10:06I see what we can do, sir.
10:10I know the data is vital to the Kurosu family.
10:31Nassana Dantius didn't give us time to pack.
10:33I'm lucky I got out at all.
10:34Her mercenaries were starting to shoot.
10:36If she lets us back in, I'll get it.
10:37I promise.
10:38If not, well, we'll just have to hope.
10:44Excuse me, I'm on an important call.
10:46I'm on an important call.
11:16Trust me, the goods coming in from the Terminus systems are great for business.
11:25I don't know.
11:26Some of them seem dangerous.
11:28That's the whole point.
11:29Danger means more contract work for us.
11:32No, I haven't had any luck yet.
11:40She insists it was legal.
11:44Shepard.
11:45I...
11:46I don't suppose you'd remember me.
11:49I'm Shiala.
11:50We met on Pharos during the Geth attack.
11:53Saren had given me to the Thorian creature as a slave,
11:56and you killed it.
11:58And saved me.
11:59I promised to help the colonists recover after Zeus' hope was lost.
12:04I'm actually here on Ilium for just that purpose.
12:09Where did the survivors go after Zeus' hope shut down?
12:11A few went to new colonies, but most went to Earth.
12:15The Exogeny researchers got called back to their headquarters, however,
12:19along with what was left of the Thorian.
12:22Is it Exogeny pushing colonists around again?
12:25Or did the Thorian somehow survive our fight?
12:28No.
12:29Exogeny has had little contact with the survivors since the death of Zeus' hope.
12:34We hope to keep it that way.
12:37And the Thorian is dead.
12:39Though, after all you went through to kill it,
12:41I understand your concern.
12:43I fear that after our adventure on Pharos,
12:46my purpose on Ilium will seem mundane by comparison.
12:51Is there something I can do to help?
12:53I'd appreciate it.
12:55I've reached the limits of my diplomatic abilities,
12:57and I'd prefer not to start trouble.
12:59Some of the colonists had health problems as a result of the Thorian control.
13:04We hired a colonial survey group to do some medical scans.
13:08But the medical contract apparently allows the company
13:11to perform invasive procedures without our consent.
13:15That's why I'm here.
13:19Tell me more about the contract you signed for these scans.
13:22Barrier Frontiers was interested in our problem.
13:25They offered to perform medical scans
13:28and deliver treatment for next to nothing.
13:32I should have known it was too good to be true.
13:34But we were desperate.
13:36In the fine print,
13:37we apparently agreed to let them perform invasive follow-up procedures
13:41if they deem it valuable.
13:43Which they have.
13:46Can they actually force these procedures on you?
13:49No.
13:50But they can declare us in breach of contract.
13:53Which means we're responsible for the full price
13:55we would have paid normally.
13:57These people just lost their colony.
13:59They can't afford that, Shepard.
14:07Wait a minute.
14:08Shiala, you were only green when the Thorian made you a clone.
14:11The real you was blue, like normal Asari.
14:13Those health problems I said were related to the Thorian control.
14:20This is mine.
14:22A few months after the Thorian died,
14:24my skin pigment changed.
14:27My biotic abilities are unstable as well.
14:30I'm also having vivid dreams about my time with the Thorian.
14:35It is disconcerting.
14:37What kind of health problems did the colonists have?
14:42Headaches or muscle spasms similar to what they experienced
14:46while under Thorian control.
14:48Sometimes, the colonists near another former Thorian victim
14:52shared sensations like heat or pain.
14:55It has to be a result of trace amounts of the Thorian's parasitic spores.
14:59You can see why we'd want it studied and cured.
15:05I'll talk to the survey group.
15:08I appreciate it, Shepard.
15:10The Barya Frontiers representative knows about the issue.
15:29The Barya Frontiers representative knows about the medical contracts those colonists from Theroux signed.
15:39I suggest you leave. Your life is short enough.
15:42Do not waste what time you have bothering me with the Thorian's parasitic spores.
15:46I saw your conversation, human.
15:48You're here to complain about the medical contracts those colonists from Theroux signed.
15:53I suggest you leave. Your life is short enough.
15:57Do not waste what time you have bothering me.
16:01Why are you insisting on these tests? What use could they possibly be?
16:04Their use is not your concern.
16:06A legal binding contract was signed.
16:09Nothing else matters.
16:10All of you.
16:11Humans.
16:12Salarians.
16:13Turians.
16:14You come to our planet, then complain that our laws don't suit you.
16:17The galaxy would be a better place if nobody but the Asari
16:20had ever dragged themselves out of the primordial muck.
16:24Perhaps we could work out different tests.
16:26Something that will work for both sides.
16:29If the colonists were not willing to abide by the terms of the contract, they should not have signed it.
16:34The onus is not upon me to accommodate them.
16:37So you'd be this harsh in your contract terms if these were Asari colonists?
16:41If they were Asari, they'd be dealing with problems unleashed by another race.
16:46Asari like my bondmate, who died when the Geth rebelled against the Quarians.
16:50Or my daughters, who died during the Geth attack on the Citadel.
16:55One worked in the Embassy.
16:57The other was a greeter for the Consort.
17:06I'm not speaking in hypotheticals, human.
17:09The aliens will never be my allies.
17:12The best they can do is give me useful medical data.
17:15Why was your bondmate on the Quarian homeworld?
17:18Studying the Quarians.
17:20Not their technology, but their music.
17:23She loved all their art.
17:25Said they had old souls.
17:27I think that's where my daughters got it from.
17:30Both of them love talking with people.
17:32Exploring new cultures.
17:34They sound like wonderful people.
17:37The galaxy is lesser for their loss.
17:39Yes, it is.
17:41Do you think they'd want you to do this?
17:43I'm not. I... I didn't...
17:45I'm sending an amended contract.
18:06No more tests.
18:07No fees.
18:08There's enough grief in this galaxy.
18:10I don't need to add to it.
18:12I'm there.
18:13I don't need to go away to ..
18:15I don't need to go away.
18:17Okay.
18:18There it is.
18:19邪魔u is in the Double Carhof,
18:20all of the planets.
18:22Let's go away from the strategist.
18:23Oh, wait.
18:24yikes.
18:26sports gymует in general
18:27You go too.
18:28I can't go away from some days.
18:29I'm souallybilir.
18:30No more tests yet I don't even have.
18:32I just expect that you canfiction.
18:33It's all easier to kind of video and Shah단s.
18:35No more than I am.
18:37Nothing has changed this now.
18:39Ah, yes, I don't wanna know.
18:40Yeah, I guys know that I don't judge.
18:41It's like I don'ts.
18:42Did you get the star charts?
18:59Yeah. I had to deal with Arinia, though. I feel like I need a shower.
19:04What do you expect? She's a pureblood. They're all like that.
19:12You did it. I just got the revised contracts. Thank you, Shepard.
19:19You saved these people a lot of additional pain. I don't think I could've...
19:25Is it always like this? Yesterday's problems lingering in some new form?
19:31Isn't anything ever just fixed?
19:33You've got the power to make a difference, Shiala. Not everyone does.
19:37We don't even have a colony anymore. Just scattered survivors.
19:42I was a commando, not an organizer.
19:45But I'll try. Thank you for what you've done here, Shepard.
19:49I'll keep doing what I can.
20:00You know Arinia won't even talk to the non-Asari customers.
20:03It's like she's turned pureblood into her religion or something.
20:07I am.
20:07I can.
20:08I can.
20:08I can.
20:12I can.
