*On the Citadel, Shepard stops by an open store, manned by a salarian salesman.*
Salesman: Oh, hey! It's Shepard! Nice to see you here!
Shepard: I'm looking for a vid game for someone, but...well, I don't play them often, exactly.
Salesman: Well, what kind of games does your friend like?
Shepard: *He folds his arms, lips tightening.* I'm not really sure...she loves tinkering with technology. Do you have a game like that?
Salesman: Let me see... *He rubs his stump of a chin.* Well, there's "Core Panic". Have to match the right materials in a core of a starship or it explodes. Think she'd like that?
Shepard: Nothing with ships blowing up.
Salesman: Gotcha. Hmmm...oh! We have a great sim game called "Personal Robo". You can build and train your own little robot. But if you want to go for that, I'd wait for "GethSim", it's supposed to have more features and the ability to fight other robots.
Shepard: She wouldn't like that.
Salesman: *He wags his finger, releasing something.* Hold on...is this person that quarian you're going out with?
Shepard: *His brow furrows, ready for an insult.* Yes.
Salesman: Ahhhh...well, I've got just the thing for you. *He reaches under the counter and pulls out a game pad, sliding it towards Shepard's hand.* This is one of our popular romance titles. Great for couples.
*Shepard picks it up and gives the description a lookover.*
Shepard: ...this is disgusting. She'd never forgive if I did THAT to her.
Salesman: Hey, it's just an option. Besides, some quarians love it when you approach from that direction.
Shepard: *He sets down the pad.* Give me something more appropriate.
Salesman: *He snaps his fingers.* Got it. You'll really dig this, Shepard. *He reaches under the counter again and pulls out another pad.* If she's the kind of gamer I think she is, she'll love this one. It's small and fits on any omni-tool.
Shepard: *He reads it.* ...GalaxyHack.
Salesman: Randomly generated starmaps every time! Totally addictive.
Shepard: ...this better not limit her productivity.
Salesman: But she'll love you for it! Worth the tradeoff, eh?
Shepard: ...yeah. She is.
Salesman: Great! Credit chit whenever you're ready.
