"So... Grunt. Anything you want to tell me about?
"This clown wants to take me to lockup. Figured I'd give you a call, straighten this out."
"Commander Shepard, I apologize for the intrusion. This krogan insisted we contact you."
"It's okay. I vouch for him. I'll sign any paperwork you have, Officer."
"Yes, ma'am."
"What happened?"
"I don't know. Drank a bit, left the hospital, broke a few windows."
"But you were in that hospital recovering from the rachni encounter."
"Yeah. Didn't feel like sticking around."
"Most people stick around long enough to, you know, heal."
"Most people aren't me."
"And why is C-Sec here?"
"Guess they're precious about some broken glass."
"I understand you getting out of there. Can't stand hospitals either."
"Full of sick people."
"Right. Tell me about the windows."
"A couple of squadmates broke me out for my birthday. Tried lowering me down the side of the building on a rope. It didn't work out."
"It's your birthday?"
"No, I'm tank-bred, remember? Anyway, we got some pictures on the krogan memorial."
"In the Presidium?"
"Yeah. When C-Sec got there, they were mad. Or maybe they were mad about their car being on fire. Can't remember."
"Why was it on fire?"
"I threw my bottle of ryncol at it. Pretty strong stuff--went up like a bonfire. The C-Sec guys jumped out. Then I figured they didn't want it, so I took it. We didn't get very far before they shut us down. Sprayed us down with riot foam. Didn't work so well on me."
"And why's that?"
"'Cause I was on fire. You know, from the car? Come on, Shepard. Keep up."
"Right, sorry. So how did they catch you?"
"Got hungry. Bought some noodles."
"Let me handle this. Officer, this krogan is part of a secret Spectre task force: Operation Fire... Cobra... Claw."
"Operation Fire Cobra Claw?"
"That's right. I can take it from here. Send me the bill for any damages."
"That's what you've been signing for, Commander. You're lucky, krogan. Don't let me catch you up here again."
"You won't. Thank you, Officer. So... how were those noodles?"
"A little spicy."
"I love you, Grunt"
"Heh-heh-heh."
