Yeah, John's a great guy, and that's good for him, but I'm sure he's done shit that doesn't look so great on paper, too. And you haven't met my Shepard at all, so how about you hold off on the snap judgments?

[He likes John, he really does, but he reminds Joker of what his Shepard was like back when they were taking down Saren (which was really only like a few years ago but seems like so much longer), before the Normandy was destroyed and Cerberus and all the shit that followed. Back before his do-what's-right-because-it's-right CO started justifying the means by the ends.]

[He used to wonder if the person that Cerberus brought back was really Shepard, but forced himself to stop; there's nothing good at the end of that train of thought.]

Besides, let's be real, Alenko-- your assessment of people and their intentions hasn't always been too accurate.
