[ Different 'they', Kaidan says. ] 'Different's pretty relative these days. [ So, so skeptical of all of this, but she's still got her hands up to show that she's not shooting anyone for now, so she's really just bitching.
Meanwhile, Shepard's hopefully doing Kaidan proud by not explaining exactly how much the ability to take off the collar doesn't get them off the hook for putting it on her to start with. It's not even just the collar, really. Besides beating her all to hell and back, they tore through her mind like Jack with the Cerberus files. Putting shit in, taking shit out... File that under 'bullshit'.
But before she can say much either way, there's a new player on the field. She's stepping out of the ship at Kaidan's beckoning, confident and postured. The woman's wearing a hoodie like Shepard's, but that in itself isn't terribly strange--she's an ally of Kaidan's after all, Kaidan's as familiar with N7 stripes as any self-respecting marine. There's something unsettling about her, though. An uncomfortable familiarity that Shepard can't quite place.
She turns to the new woman now (turning her back on the OA, another small yield for Kaidan's sake), her own scrutiny slightly more masked. At the greeting, she offers a nod of acknowledgement, then asks: ]
Were you with Alliance?
[ Because she's trying to place the feeling she's getting, and nobody ever knew Shepard to beat around the bush. ]
