Alright, so one of my random thoughts about Kaidan yesterday involved the picture in FemShep's cabin. I was wondering how it got there. It seemed the ship was prepped and ready to go as soon as FemShep was done talking with the IM. All of FemShep's armor is supplied to her through the IM or by purchasing it in stores. It seems unlikely to me IM would place a pic of Kaidan in FemShep's cabin out of the goodness of his heart (considering I am not sure he has one). Especially, after the conversation between the two of them post-Horizon where the IM basically tells FemShep to put Kaidan out of her mind. Maybe Joker put it there? Or even possibly Kelly or Dr. Chakwas? Anyway, just wondering about it.
Oh my god, I can't believe I'm reading this! I woke up this morning, started making coffee and began wondering
exactly this myself! She wouldn't have had any pics of him on her that could possibly have survived what happened to the SR-1 of course.
I started thinking about this in a fanficcy sort of way, and I can see Shep being all heartbroken and confused by her resurrection and desperately trying to find out what happened to Kaidan. Angry that no one wants to talk about him (seriously, Joker, lame response there), she furiously starts future-googling him since she doesn't have access to Alliance records like she used to anymore, but only comes up with a grainy picture of the Normandy crew together after the victory at the Citadel: Kaidan is at her side - everyone's standing at attention, so you can't tell, but her right hand is touching his left one.
Angst! Despair! Off to the Citadel to interrogate Anderson it is, but woe! He won't tell her anything, and at this point, who's to say that he's even
still alive, if he's off the grid on some sort of top secret mission?! She comes back to the Normandy, raging on the inside, heads up to her quarters, only to freeze in the doorway when she notices someone's put that picture of him on her desk.
I like to think that Joker had an attack of guilt about what happened on the SR-1 and had EDI hack into Alliance records, and they were able to get a hold of Kaidan's most recent official pic from his personnel file.
