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.

Just don't get in his way when he's onto something, and you'll be fine.

[she's mostly joking.]

I'm fine so far. Probably all the colony-raised flu bugs over the years. Or the several billion credits worth of cybernetics.

I noticed that. I'm sure on board a ship he'd drive me right up the wall, but he's pretty much what we need, right now.

[His eyebrows raise as he processes that several-billion-credit line.]

And you do realize that I'm going to be on your case until I can get a few scans of those, right? I refuse to be left ham-handed when you inevitably get dragged in here for me to patch back together.

The thought had crossed my mind, but I figured it could wait, what with the plague and all.

Well, once Solus and I get this sorted out, be advised I'll be after you with a tricorder.
