002◢ VIDEO; MONDAY

[When the video snaps on, there's a face that might be familiar to some, and once she speaks that voice is fairly unmistakable to anyone who knows Shepard.]

I meant to do this after I first learned about my... predecessor, but with everything that's been going on, my priorities got realigned.

My name is Commander Jane Shepard, Alliance Navy. I know there was a woman here before claiming the same, and as far as I can tell, it's true in both cases, though I'm told we don't look much alike.

I don't expect anyone who trusted the other Shepard to immediately trust me, nor do I want that. I'll do everything I can to help here, but don't expect me to be like her. The way I've heard it, we differ in more than just appearance.

[She shifts, giving the camera a brief smile]

All the same, I hope you're willing to give me the time of day.
