Posted this in the Miranda there because someone there asked about this senario. It can go in this theard as well though.
Romanced Miranda/Ashley Confrontation. A shouting match insues in Miranda's office. Shepard goes to investigate.Ashley: "You're insulting my ability to lead! I've more experience with squad combat and have spent more time aboard starships than over half the crew!"
Miranda: "I must ask, as a deck hand or a stowaway?"
Ashley: "Before I submit to another second of your thinly veiled b*tchery, I'm -"
Shepard: "Enough! What's going on here?"
Ashley: Ask Miranda. This little pow wow was her idea."
Miranda: "The correct assignment of personnel is an undeniably important concern, Shepard. We mustn't allow the bravado and ego of a single individual to compromise an otherwise cohesive unit. As I was explaining to Lt. Williams, she may better serve the mission in a more informal capacity."
Ashley: "It's Lt.
Commander. And you've no jurisdiction over an XO of an Alliance vessel."
Shepard: "Just calm down, both of you. We all have to cooperate here. No one's being demoted and the mission is too important to let egos get in the way. I'm talking to both of you."
Miranda: "I appreciate your trying to defuse the situation Shepard, but the issue remains. Lt. Commander Williams has proven herself detrimential to team chemistry."
Ashley: "Are you insane? Has a bullet to the chest finally ruptured your silicone implants?"
Shepard: "Ashley!"
Ashley: "Oh, come on. We don't have to pretend that her silicone valley isn't the cheap work of some creepy Dr. Liposuction back on Earth. An open discussion should finally encourage her to cover up."
Miranda: "And this is
exactly what I mean. She can't lead a squad into battle with this attitude. No one will follow a leader who's hostility towards them is greater than their hostility towards the enemy. She'll derail a mission before it can even begin and because of what? Misplaced and baseless hatred? Jealousy?"
Ashley: "As long as you're not assigned to my squad, I don't see there being any such problems. And me jealous of you? That's ridiculous!"
Miranda: "Is it? My intelligence and versatility are valuable assets to this team, more so than the talents of a narrowly specialized soldier, no matter their rank, Lt. Commander Williams."
Ashley: "Versatility...I believe it. I'm sure there's a strip club on the edge of town where you could put your wide array of talents to use. You may have all the advantages in the galaxy, but you still haven't got an ounce of class."
Shepard: "This ends now! What's gotten into the two of you? Ashley get back to your station! Miranda, no more squad interventions! You two are to keep a deck apart at all times. Do I make myself clear?!"
Ashley: *grudgingly*"Yes, sir."
Miranda: "Aye, aye Commander."
To be continued EDIT: Changed Ash to an XO. CO was an oversight.
