Inanity
It was getting chaotic. Dodging an onslaught of bullets, Shepard moved behind the barrier, hands clammy and shaking mildly. Garrus was to his left, sniping like a boss, and Mordin was doing what he always does—being awesome and doing techy stuff. Mercenaries to the left, to the right. Shepard felt as if he was in a game, like Code of Honor: Metal of—shit. Shit shit shit shit shit. Cue Shepard facepalming.
"SHIT! Lost the Game."
Shepard threw some mercs together using his Biotic Powerstm and smashed their skulls together, killing them dead. Suddenly, someone was talking to him, but he was too busy killing people to notice. The voice became louder. It was…Garrus!
"What is this…Game, exactly," asked Garrus loudly and in a somewhat perplexed manner as he shot some more mercs. It seemed like they would never stop coming.
Shepard was in a state of incredible disbelief. It had been at least two centuries since The Game had been created, and was surprised that other sentient life-forms had not yet heard of it. Well, Legion knew about it, but that is because he was a gamer. And a robot. And over 9000 lives in one robot body.
"Would also like to know about this Game. It would be useful in…studies of human culture," inquired Mordin. He was curious. Scientist-type curious.
Fuck. Lost the Game. Shepard was too busy killing mercs again. He liked killing thingys. He didn't really want to lose the Game. But in order to explain it to them, he would have to lose—except now he just did. Twice.
"Okay, look," said Shepard, "The Game—it is a game. Except you can't win because when you think of it, you lose it—and if you don't think about it, you're just trying not to, which means you will lose more. Ironic Processing Theory. Like a boss." Shepard made a very awkward pose; then he returned to being badass.
"Also, you and I all just lost THE FUCKING GAME!" And then there was an awkward silence for a while.
Garrus gained a level of fury over 9000. Mordin decided he was never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around—so basically he just got it over and done with.
Shepard stopped for a moment to look around. It seemed as if the mercenaries were…killing themselves. He wondered why—until he heard a very loud, collective scream from in front of him.

Oh, right.
