Chapter Six: Quantified

Mordin could tell you exactly what happened when he shot Maelon.

He calculated that he was 4.6 feet away from his former assistant when the truth came out, and then he closed that space to 1 foot in the span of a breath, his Carnifex jutted into the other salarian's throat. The temperature in the room was 94˚ Fahrenheit. Mordin's pistol weighed precisely 41.2 ounces and fired at 3,937 feet a second.

Mordin could tell you exactly what happened except why.

Nothing in Mordin's career had taught him how to quantify regret.

So he measured it at 6 feet deep.
