Normandy, this is Major Alenko. Come in, Normandy.

... this is Major Alenko. Come in, Normandy.

... Normandy, do you read me?






Damn it.

I'm not the Normandy, but I'm sure as Hell glad to hear your voice.

[biotickick]

Shepard? I can't believe it! What are you doing here?

[mindoirsurvivor]

It's a long story. Almost as hard to believe as the rest of the crap they try to feed you here. Swing by the police station when you've got the time and I'll bring you up to speed.

[biotickick]

The police station? Did something happen to you?

[mindoirsurvivor]

Yeah. Hell of a thing. They stuck me in charge.

[biotickick]

So, you get stranded on a remote island, and the first thing you do is get a job. Why am I not surprised?

[mindoirsurvivor]

I spent some time drinking, first.

[biotickick]

Figures you'd know exactly what to do in a crisis.

Alright, the police station it is. But after we're done there, you'll have to point me to the nearest bar.

[mindoirsurvivor]

You've got yourself a deal.

It's good to see you again, Kaidan.

[biotickick]

You too, Shepard. New Moore sure is lucky you've got their back.

[mindoirsurvivor]

Probably just about the only way we can call this island lucky.

[expositional]

Normandy is the name of your ship, is that correct?

[biotickick]

It is, yeah. I can't say I'm too optimistic about our chances of finding it, though...

[expositional]

Understandable. We don't see much in the way of maritime ships, let alone.. other sorts.

[biotickick]

I didn't think so... still, I appreciate the help. Thanks.

I take it you're an unwilling refugee, like everyone else here. What's your name?

[expositional]

Shirogane Naoto. I am assisting Commander Shepard with the police force. I've been here for a little under two years.

[biotickick]

You're helping Shepard? Glad to hear it. Knowing him, I'll bet he's one hell of a police chief.

[biotickick]

Two years, though... that's a little less comforting.

[turianrenegade]

Alenko? Well, I'll be damned.

[biotickick]

It's good to see you, Garrus. A relief, actually. It always helps to see a familiar face.

[turianrenegade]

Yeah, it was almost kind of comforting to find out Shepard was here when I showed up. No clue about where the Normandy is, if it's even here. Which... makes me wonder how we even got here, but I'm trying not to think about that one too hard.

[biotickick]

Something tells me it won't make sense even if we do think about it.

More importantly, will you be alright? This island looks like it could easily sustain human life, but I don't know about a turian...

[turianrenegade]

I was concerned at first, but it seems like our hosts are rather accommodating. Thankfully?

[halfdevil]

now that sounds familiar.

[biotickick]

Another friend of Shepard's, I take it? Sounds like he's got one heck of a reputation around here.

[halfdevil]

in my experience, guys who work in law enforcement usually do.

names dante.

and just one thing. guys who come to movie night bring a six pack with em.

[biotickick]

Kaidan Alenko. Pleasure to meet you, Dante.

So, am I invited to this movie night, or what?

[halfdevil]

the last call on that one is made by the police. ask him.
