[When the feed comes on, Shepard looks thoughtful. The - festival, whatever, that had been a nice break, but frankly, she's still trying to digest everything she learned from the Emperor. The Reapers. War. Death. Everything she's been trying to prevent for the past few years, but also - love, and success.

It's a lot to take in, so it stands to reason she's been withdrawn, even in the face of the happy situation of the past few days.]

I know a lot of people here died back home. So did I.

[Get right to the point, will you? Even if it's a pretty morbid one.]

It was tough to accept. But what was even tougher, at the time, was accepting being back. Accepting that someone thought I was important enough to bring me back, when others - well. What made me so special, I asked. I've been living on borrowed time for a while now, but I dealt with it, because I had a purpose.

I think that purpose might be gone, now. How should I deal with that?

Yeah, I like them. The turian fighter was probably my favorite. Turians know how to design a ship.

[wintershepherd]

Maybe you could try getting materials to make one here?

[cmdreffingshepard]

I'm not sure if I could make one myself.

[wintershepherd]

You never know until you try? Besides, it's not like we're short of hobby time here.

[cmdreffingshepard]

But we might be short of materials. I'm not sure I'd be able to find what I'd need to make one, what with the rationing.

I do miss my hamster, though.

[wintershepherd]

[ Stop being such a spoilsport, Shep. ]

Hamster, huh? What's its name?

[cmdreffingshepard]

[She clears her throat lightly.]

Commander Squeaky.

[wintershepherd]

Tell me he has a little hamster wheel ship.

[cmdreffingshepard]

That was next on my list.

[wintershepherd]

You are the coolest pet owner ever.

[cmdreffingshepard]

Thanks, I guess - I never really thought about it. [Heh! Well, that's something.]

[wintershepherd]

No problem. But let me know if you change your mind about the scale models, those sound great.

[cmdreffingshepard]

I will, I promise.
