Commander. I'm glad to see you're okay. Losing Jenkins was *** the crew. And I'm glad we didn't lose you, too.
Things were rough down there.
Yeah, you never get used to seeing dead civilians.
Doesn't seem right, somehow. But at least you stopped Saren from wiping out the whole colony.
We didn't really success in this mission. We lost a lot of people. And the beacon is no more.
Yeah. That didn't turn well, fat chance.
I can't believe we lost Jenkins.
I wish I could've done something to save him.
I was there. You did everything right. It was just bad luck.
It's been a hell of a shakedown cruise. Our first mission ends with one Spectre killing another.
The Citadel Council's not gonna be happy about that. Probably use it to lever more concessions out of the Alliance.
You've got a good grasp of the situation. You a career man ?
Yeah. A lot of biotics are. We're not restricted, but we sure don't go undocumented. May as well get a paycheck for it.
Besides, my father served. Made him proud when I enlisted. Eventually.
But is that why you're here? Because of your family?
Never knew my parents. If they wanted to contact me they would do it since the last affair..
Ah, that's right. Torfan. I imagine that brought you any post in the fleet.
Word is we're heading for the Citadel, sir. Can you tell me why?
I can't. The briefing with the Captain was confidential.
Understood sir.
Whatever happens, we'll be ready. Commander
Joker: Good timing, Commander. I was just about to bring us in to the Citadel.
Ashley: Look at the size of that ship!
Kaidan: The Ascension. Flagship of the Citadel fleet.
Joker: Well, size isn't everythig.
Why so touchy, Joker ?
Joker: I'm just saying you need firepower, too.
Ashley: Look at that monster! It's main gun could rip through the barriers on any ship in the Alliance fleet.
Kaidan: Good thing it's on our side, then.
Joker: Citadel Control, this is SSV Normandy, requesting permission to land.
Citadel Control. Stand by for clearance. Normandy.
Clearance granted. You may begin your approach. Transferring you to an Alliance operator.
Joker: Roger, Alliance Tower. Normandy out.
Normandy, this is Alliance Tower. Please proceed to dock 422.
Kaidan: Big place
That your professional opinion, sir?
How can they keep tabs on all of this? The Presidium may as well be on another planet.
There is definitely a gap between their presentation and what's here. Tracking arrivals must be a nightmare.
This makes Jump Zero look like a porta-john. And it's the largest deep space station the Alliance has.
Jump Zero was big. But this is a whole nother scale.
Look at the ward arms. How do they keep all that mass from flying apart?
No wonder the Council treats us like outsiders. We'd be just another drop in a bucket they already can't carry.
They must figure us for one more gang of FNGs looking for a handout.
I doubt it's personnal. It's got to be a balancing act, like every other governement.
Why not?
We've got oceans, beautiful women, this emotion called love/desire.
According to the old vids, we have everything they want.
When you put it that way, there's no reason they wouldn't like you.
I mean, us. Humans. Sir.
You don't take much shore leave, do you L-T ?
Alright this time, lieutenant. However, control yourself.
Understood, sir.
Pff...Really.
This isn't a station, it's a city.
There must be millions here. It can't be possible to track everyone coming and going.
Look at the ward arms.
The Council represents more races than I thought. No wonder they're careful with newcomers.
They probably just want to keep everything running. It has to be hard keeping all these cultures working together.
Or maybe they just don't like humans.

All right, laugh it up, Chief. I appreciate the thought, Alenko, but we're on duty here.
Um, aye, aye, sir.
I'll walk drag, sir.
