I thought Mirimancers and Ashmancers were quite friendly to each other already ... but okay
Ashley: Miranda ... may I have your attention for a while?
Miranda: Depends on the subject, Commander. *neutral-cool tone*
Ashley: Fine. It's the tension building up between you and me. I wonder why ... ?
Miranda: When Shepard was in command, he used to talk to his crew and accepted input that might have saved lives or made missions easier. I think he called it "open door policy".
Ashley: I do have that policy, Miranda.
Miranda: Is it so? Whenever I try to suggest a different path, you usually dismiss it with the words "I think about it". Every single time.
Ashley: That open door policy doesn't mean I have to accept every suggestion - Shepard did the same. Miranda ... do you have an idea why I recruited you?
Miranda: It doesn't matter, Williams.
Ashley: It does. You're an expert for this ship, for Cerberus tech. And we might need you in case we find Shepard - he could be injured and you're the only one knowing all details about his implants. The crew needs you, Shepard needs you, I need you.
Miranda: Commander ... ?
Ashley: I'm just saying your input is valuable, even if I don't always change my course. Keep that in mind.
Ashley's peptalk to Miranda. Wonder if it works ...
