Doctor Chakwas: You had us worried there, Shepard. How are you feeling?
Shepard: Minor throbbing; nothing serious. How long was I out?
Doctor Chakwas: About six years. Don't try to move; your muscles have atrophied from disuse. Do you want something to drink?
Shepard: Six years!? But... What happened to the Reapers?
Doctor Chakwas: Reapers? I'm not sure what you mean. Something happened down there on Eden Prime with the beacon, I think. I've been detecting some unusual brain activity--abnormal beta waves. I also noticed an increase in your rapid-eye-movement, signs typically associated with intense dreaming.
Shepard: But the Reapers... Death... Destruction... We have to stop them!
Doctor Chakwas: It sounds like it was quite a dream. You should try to relax. Are you... Oh. Custodian Anderson.
Custodian Anderson: How is he holding up, Doctor?
Doctor Chakwas: Well, all the readings look normal, but he seems to be suffering from mild dementia.
Custodian Anderson: I see. I'd like to speak to Shepard alone.
Doctor Chakwas: As you wish.
Shepard: Captain Anderson, what's going on?
Custodian Anderson: It's Custodian now. I was relieved of duty after punching Ambassador Udina in the face "unprovoked". The only work I could find was as a janitor at this hospital in the wards. It's a long story, Shepard. It's been years since Eden Prime.
Shepard: Eden Prime? What about the Reapers?
Custodian Anderson: I don't know anything about "Reapers", but it turned out that the colonists on Eden Prime were part of some violent cult that worshipped prothean beacons. They believed that the devastating seizures and delusions it caused were prophetic "visions". Even Gunnery Chief Williams bought in to it, joining your squad and lying to you to get the prothean artifact back. Damn "beacon-heads". Anyway, Saren had been doing reconnaissance for months, trying to infiltrate the cult. He had to kill Nihlus to maintain his cover. *sigh* Spectres.
Shepard: But the geth...
Custodian Anderson: You mean the synthetics on the colony? Alenko thought the same thing. Those weren't actually geth; they were just a newer model of maintenance robot that Saren re-programmed to defend him.
Shepard: But the Reapers... The Reapers... They're gonna liquify us and pump us into their veins... I'm the only hope for humanity...
Custodian Anderson: Are you feeling okay? Do you mind if I eat your lunch when it arrives?
