Hey, is anyone awake for this?

[ A squint at the screen, and a deep frown, while Kaidan looks like he's contemplating something. ]

Actulaly, is anyone...not falling asleep a lot? I'm... I'm pretty sure I'm one of the few around here that hasn't fallen asleep much. At least -- no more than normal? [ This time, he looked to the side, off the screen, before looking back. ]

If you are, or if you're... waking up a lot, what's...going on? Anyone have any ideas? A culprit? Hell, I'd even take a place to start. [ Hell, he'll take some information about what's inside at this point. His fingers drum against the side of the comm, jostling it, before he stopped, realizing what he's doing. ]

Anyway, let me know. Uh -- especially if you're not asleep. We should probably start figuring out who's affected, and go from there. You can reply here, or comm me and let me know. We could divide things up, and start to resolve it. Normally these things work themselves out eventually, but... I'd prefer sooner, rather than later you know? I'm getting worried.

[ And then he moves to cut off the comm, a soft murmur as he does so, before it shuts off: ] Today, of all days?

If there's anyone who can get out of something like that, it's him. Trust me. He's not about to get kidnapped by some demon. And he's certainly neither stupid or easy to tempt. I've never met someone with so much resolve in my life.

The delusion is almost admirable. Remember to dispose of it if it starts to smell.

Wh --

[ Shale, you have offended him for the last time. ]

He saved the damn galaxy, twice over! This isn't going to be enough to do him in!

[ Okay, so it could, but he couldn't imagine someone like Shepard going this quickly, this quietly. ]

[heheheehheheheheeheeheheheh]

I think it might!

[kanadian]

I'm positive you'll be surprised when he's up and moving, later.

[notgneiss]

Not really. Getting up isn't much of an achievement.

[kanadian]

With him? It is. He died once.

[ You can just imagine him puffing up at that. ]

[notgneiss]

Then I suppose the second time will be a... what is it humans say, walk in the park?

[kanadian]

Something like that. We'll hope it is, at least. [ A beat. ] I hope it is.
