And the adventure continues.

"Shepard," Joker warned over the intercom as Shepard was walking to the main battery to speak with Garrus. "You might want to get to Engineering. Tall, Dark and Annoying found out where Jack's staying."
Oh, crap. "I'll be there in a moment!" Shepard said, turning around on his heel and bolting for the elevator.
He could hear Jack's profanities thundering just as he was let off on Engineering. He bolted through the door, passed a concerned Tali, and stomped down the stairs into the deep parts of the ship, exposed metal and machinery revealed against the red-tinged walls.
"Do not use gravity on me!" the Grand Galactic Inquisitor intoned, facing off against a very mad and very biotically charged Jack. "This will interfere with my observation!"
"Get the F*** outta here!" Jack snapped, seizing the Inquisitor in the biotic aura and flinging him against a metal bar.
"I'm okay," the Inquisitor gasped as Shepard stormed into the scene.
"Calm down, Jack!" Shepard snapped. "That's an order!"
Jack swirled around to face Shepard. "This freak was SPYING on me!"
"I am here only to observe human behavior!" the Inquisitor said. Even for getting tossed into metal bars, his speaker never lost its strength. "Do not assault me! Or kill me! Pretend I am not a shootable target!"
"Shepard, if you don't get him off this f***in' ship, I'm gonna ram his head into that damn speaker on his chest!"
Shepard raised his hands. Reasoning with Jack when she was furious was pointless. Unless she used her biotics to throw nails at you. Then she was getting to the point once too many. "Okay, Jack. Calm down. I'll get him out of here."
Jack pointed at the Inquisitor. "I'd better not see him ever again, Shepard. Or I'll kick your ass. Got it?"
"Don't worry," Shepard said. "He won't get in the way anymore."

"This place is a mess," the Inquisitor noticed, glancing at a large blood stain splattered on the walls. Outside of the Pragia facility, the rain never stopped, never became quiet. "I know what can get this out." He pointed at Jack. "Do not take my cleaning advice!"
Jack folded her arms and gave Shepard the most hateful, sin-filled look imaginable.
"If it makes you feel better," Shepard said, "he makes me feel like I want to kick my own ass."
