[video] the road that ended

[ For those familiar with his face, Shepard seems ... younger, somehow. Not by much, but there are fewer lines creasing his forehead and the corners of his eyes. His posture's slightly different, too, shoulders squared and spine straight even as he almost hums with alertness. ]

I'm Commander Shepard. I've been told I've been here before, but apparently I'm missing a few things. I don't recognize most of the faces on this network.

[ His voice is scratchy, hoarse from use -- or lack of it? He's had the time to go through his communicator record -- lucky it wasn't locked -- and what he's seen has mostly added to his growing confusion. Although he conceals it well, the frustration with the inability to understand what's happening grates on him. ]

Am I the only one having issues with memory loss? Is this something that happens a lot here?

It would take a pretty imaginative person to come up with characters like the ones you've come across since waking up, I'm sure.

[ Exhibit A: Kasumi Goto. ]

And no offense, Shep, but you never really struck me as the creative type.

You're creative in combat, sure, but I don't know if you could even come up with such colorful characters as the ones around here, and back at home.

In all-black and a hood? Nah.

[ That's a yes. ]

Your pilot? I've heard great things about him.

Not nearly as big as yours, but he'd probably brag about it, anyway.

About a year and a half, now. Some of your people have been here even longer.

[ She mostly means Kaidan. ]

We wouldn't be having this conversation here if anyone had figured out a way back. Just saying.

Oh, I'm sure there are a few mad scientists here and there trying to make sense of all this. Something something quantum physics, or something like that.

I'm sure some people prefer it here, though.

I'm...

[ Good question, Shep. ]

Somewhere in the middle, I guess? Don't get me wrong, the significant lack of giant destructive cuttlefish here is a huge plus, but I also miss a lot of things about home.
