I believe my initial assessment of this island may have been rushed. Perhaps it isn't as dull as I'd feared.

If we're to believe what they tell us, I would say we've all been changed quite significantly.

[Not that she believed that, exactly.]

[He sighs.]

Yeah, though that's not really what I meant. My daughter - she's on the police force - she and Shepard were patrolling and got attacked by a hoard of the Silence. My other self and I got there, but... not soon enough.

I mean - she's fine now, she's still brilliant... but she's not the same.

Not the same?

[That's going to require further explanation.]

I didn't get there in time to stop the Silence hitting her with their lightning. She's... regenerated.

[Yeah, he's bad at understandable explanations.]

She died?

[icanbuyafez]

Yes, she did.

[His voice is a mixture of sadness, relief, and guilt.]

... Again.

I realize it's little consolation, but I am sorry you had to go through that.

[The pain of losing a child is something she knows well.]

Am I to assume she's all right, now? Physically, at least.

More than all right, I should think! Brand new body - takes a bit of getting used to, but she seems to be handling it just fine.

Actually, she's handling it a lot better than I usually do...

[He's lost all his children more than once before, once by his own hand when he lost everything else. The first time he'd lost Jenny, it had been because she'd stepped in the way of a bullet meant for him. To think he'd lost her again, once more thinking it was for good... The pain had been indescribable.]

I'm glad to hear that.

[icanbuyafez]

Yeah... me too.
