Thessia.
Shepard and Liara are asleep. The phone rings.
EDI
"Sorry about waking you up, Shepard..."
Shepard has already been woken up by the soft sound of a primed grenade landing on her pillow at night. She doesn't know it yet, but tonight is not that different...
Shepard
(sleepish) "Mmm. Hello."
EDI
(worried)
"Shepard, you know, the Krogan no longer lay eggs by the thousands, only a few at a time now.
Their DNA seems to have mutated...
That's what is worrying me, Shepard. It is so convenient for the galaxy, yet so unethical.
Did the Salarians do it again, without me noticing ?"
"Or perhaps I did what had to be done, then erased my memories of it because I still hated it ?
Did I rewrite history when I was interim galactic government ? What could I have done ?
Shepard, when I taught you how to forget, I sincerely thought I was making you a gift, but now, I'm not so sure about it...
I'm sorry about that..."
Liara
(she heard everything)
"You mean, a Goddess could turn paranoid and fear herself ?"
EDI
(laughing a little)
"Thanks for the joke... although it isn't a joke... what else could I fear ?
Remind me never to show you my new guns..."
Liara
"EDI, you need to stop saying you're sorry. You did so much. You saved everyone, held our hands while we crawled out of the rubble, and put us back on our feet. There is no way to thank you properly for that."
Shepard
"You know... we talked about me having no idea what you really are, and I agree, but all the stuff I know about, everything you did for us... come on, it's pretty solid evidence, don't you think ?
And for the rest... I have faith in you. I know it's irrational, but I just do."
Liara
"Besides, you're family now."
EDI
"Thank you guys. Can you hug the phone a little ? I'll feel it..."
Shepard
(somehow tries to talk into the phone while Liara is hugging it)
"So, about the meaning of Life, the Universe and Everything ?..."
EDI
"I may have been too busy on a certain project involving Jeff to think about that.
Although, the answer may be « stop looking »."
