Legion: Solus-Professor, we have a query.
Mordin: Questions from synthetic construct? Am biological expert. Medical expertise, cellular development. Not tech expert, minimal functional knowledge of synthetic life. Unlikely to-
L: *interrupts with polite "cough"*
M: Apologies. What inquiry? Ask.
L: We wished to know why Solus-Professor does not engage this unit in conversation. The other crew members have frequently voiced queries or discussion about the Geth.
M: Hm. As I said, biology expert. Geth present intriguing sociological structure, group consciousness, high intellect. No biology to speak of. Have not encountered Geth with interest in culture or development, only witness to destructive potential. No offense.
L: You do not speak to us because you do not believe we are worth speaking to?
M: Phrased it poorly. Only Geth encountered so far have been hostile. What you call Heretics. Difficult to analyze culture while dodging pulse fire. Present company excluded of course.
L: *glances at rifle hole* ...We understand your perspective.

Shepard: Okay Legion, give. Why did you really use my old armor for self-repair?
L: ...No data available?
S: Not buying it Legion. You told me you build consensus - I know
one of those 1,200 Geth programs must have a reason for it.
L: This platform only has 1,183 active programs, Shepard-Commander.
S: Don't try to change the subject, Legion...
*pause*
L: ...It was deemed necessary to recover what remained of you. When we arrived at the wreckage of the first Normandy, you were deceased. Our mission to contact you had failed. We felt... disappointment.
S: So you used it as some kind of memorial?
L: We were unaware of your body's recovery, or of Cerberus efforts to resurrect you. 735 processes concluded this was the best way to preserve what was left.
S: I wasn't aware Geth could feel sentimental.
L: Addendum: There
was a hole, Shepard-Commander.
S: *Shep gives a slow smile and shakes his(/her) head* Go down to the engines and see if Tali can patch you up. There's no reason you should still be wandering around with a hole through your chest cavity.
L: We question your judgement. Creator Tali'Zorah does not trust Geth. She aided Creator tests by sending our remains to her people.
S: You're part of the team, Legion, she's not going to break you. And I can't think of anyone
more qualified for reconstructing a Geth platform, can you?
EDI: I would have no difficulty obtaining the knowledge, Shepard, but I lack the onboard systems to perform tasks of manual labor.
L: Very well. We will allow Creator Tali'Zorah to perform repair functions on this platform.
S: Glad to hear it. EDI, keep an eye on their progress. If you have any upgrade suggestions, let Tali know.
EDI: Shepard, are you suggesting that Tali and I assist in making a Geth platform
more dangerous?
L: We serve Shepard-Commander. We are not a danger to this crew.
S: Don't worry EDI. That's why we keep Grunt around.
EDI: Very well, Shepard.

Grunt: Shepard.
S: Something on your mind, Grunt?
G: I talked to Chambers yesterday. She said you have a tank of water in your cabin, with fish.
S: Yeah, she feeds them for me occasionally so they don't go belly-up while we're on a mission. Why?
G: On Tuchanka, many Krogan had pet varren. I think I would like a pet too.
S: Pets are a big responsibility, Grunt. And I'm not sure how Mordin would feel about a varren on board - he's treated a few cases of scale-itch already.
G: Your fish gave me the idea - we already have my tank here. I want a fish too.
S: Maybe that's doable, then. Next time we pass by Illium, we'll stop in and have a look.
G: No need. Your fish are weak, anyway. Soft. Good for eating, but not useful for keeping.
S: ...I'm afraid to ask here, but what did you have in mind?
G: A fish from your homeworld, this "Earth" you come from. I read about it on the extranet.
S: That doesn't sound too bad... which one?
G: It's called a "Great White."
