Arcturus station 2155
"Come on baby, you can do it, say mama" Hannah Shepard encouraged her young daughter.
Both mother and daughter where sat on the floor of Hannah's personal quarters of Arcturus station, the seat of the humans Systems Alliance.
"M, Mm, Mmm, ma" the child began trying to speak.
"That's it, baby girl, say mama" Hannah smiled encouragingly at her baby.
"W,Ww, Www, WREX!" the baby shouted happily
"Wh... What?" Hannah said with a confused look on her face while the infant human giggled.

A lone ancient and scared krogan in red armour sat in a small, dingy dive bar nursing a tankard of ryncol, without a clue or prompt looked towards the sky and muttered a single word.
"Shepard"
"What was that?" asked a gravelly voiced asari matriarch bartender.
"Nothing Aethyta" Urdnot Wrex looking just as confused as the Matriarch as he returned to his drink.
