[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?

[ And, you know, dying. But he's not going to dwell on that. ]

[ Exhibit A: Kasumi Goto. ]
And no offense, Shep, but you never really struck me as the creative type.

Have you met Joker? I have a feeling the two of you would get along.

Your pilot? I've heard great things about him.
no subject
[ He'd say the galaxy, but ... no need to stroke his ego, even if he isn't here. ]
So he's got a fanclub of his own now, does he?

So, how long have you been here?

[ He chuckles. ]
I just wondered if anyone was still trying, or if people prefer being here.
[ Or, in his case, have anything to go back to. ]
no subject
I'm sure some people prefer it here, though.
no subject
Would 'some people' include you?
no subject
[ 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.
