G: "SHEPARD, WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT? That's not what we agreed on. I can't believe you just let him go. I've been searching for him for months, and now what? What's he going to do next? Kill more people? You do realize that if he does, that those peoples lives are on you, right?"

S: "Garrus did you even look at him? He was nervous as hell. He wiped all the clan markings off his face, he didn't look healthy either. He been running from you the entire time. He knew you were tracing him, like a Varren. You were becoming a monster and if I didn't know better or if I didn't trust you with all my heart, I would have moved. For fear of being shot. I know that you think it would have been closer, but all it does is haunt you. He would just be another body, and you would see his face in every dream you have. You just have to trust me on that."

G: "Shepard I'm a big boy, I could deal with it."

S: "That's what you think, at first. Then it just eats at you. There is a reason I come to see you every night. I see all their faces. Every person who's died under my command. I see them all, and most nights I barely get an hour of sleep before I wake up screaming. I try to calm down tell myself that it's all in the past, but it's not and this mission were on will probably get us all killed. So if you wonder why I come by so often it's because i'm scared. I don't want a repeat of Akuze or Virmire. It would crush me. So when I stopped you it's not because I didn't think that Sidonis hadn't betrayed you. It's because I won't let you become me. Don't be me, I can only stand to be myself because you're here. The only person that I can trust without a second thought.

G: "Shepard I had no idea. Why didn't you say anything? You act more Turian than some of the Turian generals I know. If you would have said something. I'm…" She cut him off.

S: "No, don't apologize I just... I just didn't want to burden you with my fucked up issues. You've been with me since the beginning of this fucked up journey, and that you've come back for a second ride amazes me. I mean you didn't really have a choice, I wasn't going to let you die on Omega but that you didn't ask to be dropped off somewhere after what I told you, made me so happy. I finally had someone I trusted back. And once I noticed how much you changed and you had your own burdens with the loss of your own squad. Hmff I guess where not all that different after all. I guess it wouldn't have mattered if I let you kill him or not. Too late now he's probably off station already… I'm Sorry, it wasn't my call. I should have moved.

G: "Shepard I do realize that the last time we saw each other was before you… died. And back then I was still 'innocent' hadn't really faced that kind of loss or anger before. I can only guess that you thought I still was the same person as before. But going to Omega changed me, and I haven't decided if it is for the better. I suppose not but I can't change that now, Omega is just a part of who I am now I guess. But now. Now I have something to fight for again, and this time it's not just a memory or a hallucination. So… yeah."

S: "Garrus what the hell happened in Omega and, what do you mean a hallucination?"

G: "How about we go back to the Normandy and we can talk in private. Maybe with some alcohol in our systems." They headed back no the Normandy, and ended up a few drinks in before their conversation started again.
