So, we'd had this huge battle, right? I had some sway in how things turned out. I had the human fleet send help to a ship that was in serious trouble.

[She pauses for a moment, thinking of how to explain this.]

It was... Think the whole Air Force One thing in America. It had the entire governing council for galactic society on board, as well as about ten thousand others.

[She grins, and there's an obvious pride to it.]

So this woman begs me for an interview while I'm in the middle of heading to a mission, in full armor and everything. And when I finally agree, she starts in with these leading questions, accusing me of being a traitor to my people, because most of the lives we saved were alien.

[Shepard grins wider.]

And hell yeah, it left a bruise.
