~~ Alright! The AA guns are down, Commander. That's one less thing to worry about. ~~
And the landing site is clear. Come on in.
~~ I'm bringing us around now. I'll try to get as close to the drop site as possible. ~~
Joker, I want you ON the damn site. What do I look like, a mule? I'm not gonna be runnin' back an' forth with that thing. Just get her down here already!
~~ Stress much? ~~
I've worked hard today! I want my crab. If you can't manage that then maybe next time you can wear the boots and I can play solitaire in the cockpit all day.
~~ Okay, okay! Sheesh! We're coming down now. Just watch I don't take off without you though. ~~
You wouldn't dare!

Yo, Kaidan, we're ready for you! Go get that thing unloaded.
I'm on it, Commander.
Eh, good. Set the big mushroom down over there by the support. Alright, do your thing.
~~ Ma'am? You there? Can you read me? ~~
Aye, Chief? What d'ya need? We're about to set off the fireworks. Get over here.
~~ Negative, ma'am. ~~
What? We're almost ready, come on!
~~ Can't! We've got trouble here. The Geth have us pinned down at the AA tower. ~~
Stop fooling around, Chief. You're going to miss the fun bit!
~~ We've taken heavy casualties! We're never gonna make the rendezvous point in time! ~~
Shit. Uhh...okay! Hold on. We'll come pick you guys up.
~~ Negative! Just make sure that the- ~~
-NOPE! DECIDED ALREADY. Alenko, how's it goin'?
Got a few more minutes until we're ready. Go get the others and meet us back here.
Alright. You just make sure that thing is ready for when we get back. C'mon Wrex - it's time ta be a hero!
Right behind you, Shepard.

D'you ever wonder why they'd put a locker out here? I mean who's going to use a locker all the way up here- wait, what is that?
Damn, Shepard. We've got company. The Geth are sending in reinforcements.
Aw, bitch! That's all we need right now. Where's it goin'?
~~ Heads up LT. We just spotted a Geth drop-ship headed to your location. ~~
~~ It's already here! We've got Geth pouring out all over the bomb site! ~~
Aww, come on! We're doing too well to screw this up now! Kaidan?
~~ Commander? ~~
Can you hold them off until we get back? We won't be long.
~~ No. There's just too many of them. I don't think we can survive until you get here! ~~
Fuck, seriously? This is all we need. Okay...let's see...we can-
~~ Commander? I'm going to go ahead and activate the bomb now. ~~
What? NO! What the hell, man! No! We're not ready. Give us like five more minutes!
~~ We can't take that risk! We only have one go at this and if we don't do it now we'll miss our chance! ~~
But I can get there! I can see the damn tower from here! I just need like five more minutes!
~~ I have to make sure this bomb goes off no matter what! ~~
It will! It will be fine, stop panicking. You're trained soldiers, you can hold position for a little longer!
~~ Exactly, Commander. That's why you don't need to worry about us. We can defend this thing until it detonates. ~~
That's not what I meant! Christ, it's only a few Geth! Stop overreacting! Kaidan? Hey, listen to me! What are you- Don't you dare-!
~~ Ordnance is armed, Commander. ~~
KAIDAN!
~~ I did what I had to! Just go get Ashley and get the hell out of here! ~~
No-no-no-no! What are you doing? You're ruining everything!
~~ Screw that, ma'am! We can handle ourselves. Go back and secure the bomb site. ~~
What the fuck is your problem? Are you guys so eager to die? What am I supposed to do with this! Ashley, you can push forward! We can meet you half-way!
~~ Ma'am... ~~
What good is all that fancy armour if you don't use it! COME ON, CHIEF!
~~ It's over. ~~
I SAID MOVE IT!
~~ Go back. ~~
CHIEF!
Shepard...
Why are you doing this to me!
Shepard.
Why is this happening?
Shepard. Get it together.
Why do I have to...
Your orders, Shepard.
Why can't I do both..?
Shepard. What are your orders?
This isn't fair...
SHEPARD! MAKE. YOUR. ORDERS.

. . . . . we stay with the bomb.

I'm so sorry.
