Prompt: Can train just about anything

Disclaimer: If I owned Mass Effect, the effect would be massive.


"Not now, Kaidan."

The Spectre frowned, but continued following his charge - fellow Spectre and former Alliance Commander.

"You are supposed to be in the Terminus Systems - Anderson's orders."

"I said, not now, Kaidan."

They arrived at C-Sec, where a smug Bailey sat with his hands clasped on the desk. Shepard just gave him a scathing look, and the smirk vanished.

"He's in there." He nodded towards one of the holding cells. With her back turned, Bailey grinned, shaking his head.

Following Shepard to the holding cells, Kaidan raised his eyebrows at the sight of a krogan, of all thinks, seemingly sulking in the corner. Beside the krogan sat a young man, holding his jaw and grumbling about 'krogans cheating' and 'C-Sec ruining everything'.

The krogan raised his head, however, and Kaidan swore he seemed to shrink under the glare of the Commander. He had thought that the other guy was going to get Shepard's disapproval. Clearly, not.

"Battlemaster ..."

"I am very disappointed in you, Grunt. I am trying to get the Council on my side, and you had to pick a fight. I am over this. Do you know what this means, Grunt? You. Are. Grounded. We are dropping you off at Tuchanka and that's final."

Yep, the krogan definitely shrunk in on himself. Being 'grounded' seemed to not appeal to the alien. But Grunt remained silent, just nodding, and he earned a little credit for that much.

Kaidan turned to the Commander, not being able to help himself. "Train krogans for a living, or something?"
