[ The camera switches on, turning left and right briefly--she's looking the device over, because if she remembers right, she left hers in the dome and fuck if she'd ever get that back--then it focuses on a face. She looks... like she's seen better days, let's say. Shepard may have left her injuries on the Crucible, but she sure as hell feels like she came out on the wrong end of this one. ]

This is Commander Shepard of the SSV Normandy SR-2. [ But it's flat, a forced formality.

This is the part where she asks if anyone reads her, asks for a status update, asks someone to put her the fuck back in that pod so at least she knows how it ends... No. None of that's going to happen. She settles for a slightly (just slightly) more emphatic: ] Somebody tell me how long I've been out.

[ Because somebody has to recognize her. ....Right?

Some of those who don't might at least recognize the distinct OA-fashioned collar around her neck. Y'know, from back when they were the things that go bump in the night.

Shepard doesn't wait around long after the camera's turned off, though. She's heading for the mouth of the ship to see if that'll give her a good reading... ]

[Mordin gives her a curious look. He was vaguely aware of this because of Shepard and Alenko's courtship nonsense, but seeing visible evidence was another matter entirely.]

Shepard. Fascinating.

[ This is going to be incredibly vague until our lovely mod reports in with deets, but!

Within the first fifteen minutes of her arrival, there appears to be a ruckus on the edge of the Old City. You see, the Outer Authorities? They weren't so friendly, last she was here. And now they're in the place she remembers calling 'home', swarming all around. Nope, nope, nope.

She doesn't have most of her weapons, nor her armor--just a hoodie and cargo pants, terrible as that may be for protecting her vitals. That and a simple Carnifex, which may have taken down plenty of mercs in her time, but now she's rusty from months in that pod and downright exhausted from the war back home. So the fact that she's facing off a good half-dozen of the OA, her pistol by her side but her finger conspicuously resting on the trigger, is probably a Very Bad Idea. ]

Hell, you'd think the guys who put this thing in my neck would have a little more to say than 'stand down'.

[ The tone's light, but not light enough. It's dangerous, plain and simple. If she had her gear, she'd have put a few holes in each of them by now, but Shepard remembers all too well how strong they were. She sure as hell isn't going to back down, but she's not stupid, either. ]

[The voice is similar, so's the name. Kerra can't help but ask...]

Wait, there's more than one of you now?
