Data Log Entry: 21831130

As we headed to our next location, I had the Normandy run a full systems check. It kept the crew busy while allowing me to catch up on my reports. Paperwork: even in our advanced age; you still need a form, to fill out a form, about a form you were already filling out.

While at my battle station today, I thought about the missing poker chips again. It's become more of a game than any real concern. It did make me chuckle remembering how I had threatened to send Garrus back to C-Sec if he didn't help me question Wrex about the chips; although, I'm not sure which outcome he might fear more. Nevertheless, it's good to have another 'volunteer.'

I also spoke with Tali, who to my surprise said she would be happy to help. When I asked her why she suddenly changed her mind, she just said she was following Garrus' lead at the bar and really didn't mind helping; though she wasn't sure how she could help but she would try. Despite her reservations however, it was Tali who proposed the idea for us to lock Wrex in the mako when we ask him about the missing poker chips. She assured me she could power down the rover's systems from outside the vehicle and its triple enforced walls should in theory, be able to handle any outburst from the krogan.

She seemed to be laughing under her face mask when she added, "Besides, he couldn't hurt the mako anymore than your driving." Somehow, I felt she was poking fun at her commander by making a joke about my driving, but she's an outstanding engineer who has saved my butt on more than one occasion, so I will let it slide. Besides, we always get to our intended destination in one piece, so surely my driving can't be that bad; can it?
