Genesis is gone now too.

[ he pauses, then adds the same message in text format for those who can't see him for lack of belief. ]

The Winds can't find her at all.

[ which might explain any sudden breezes that Pepper, Jack, Elissa, and Christine may have been wrapped with momentarily shortly before his announcement. just checking in on his friends and important people. ]

So many of the friends I've made are disappearing. I'm sad they're not still here, even if it's selfish.

[ he ends the video feed and switches entirely to text. ]

I think I would like more things to fill my time with.
All I've been doing lately is training and training
But it gets tiring after a while.
Are there any good books or movies here people can recommend?
Or small mechanical items that need fixing?
Or anyone that would like a drawing of something?

[ ...She hates to say it, but she can really really relate to that.

Shepard hates it when she can relate. ]

could be worse. they aren't dead. the ship might spit em back out one day. it did to me, anyway.

It would be better if they didn't come back.
They weren't really happy here.

then suck it up. they're better off now.

[ You could assume, anyway. A pause, then a second reply: ]

you said you're a mechanic? got something you could take a look at.

[ Shepard may be a little 'tough love', but she gets it, and she'll see if she can't toss the kid a distraction or two. ]

Hopefully.

I am to some degree.
What is it that you have?

[ She's switching back to video to show him a clunky mechanical collar. ]

Can't get my damn armor on with this thing. My lieutenant's got some ideas, but it wouldn't hurt to get a few more heads together.

I had a collar on before.
Have you tried to remove it normally yet?

no dice.

[ Because it's hooked to her actual spine, not that she's planning on explaining that over the network. It may be more secure now, but she's still not ready to trust it. ]

I could take a look at it
But I wouldn't say I am a master when it comes to these collars.

never assumed you were. it just seemed like you were after something to do.

I was.
Just something different you know??
I think I would be too scared of messing up and making things worse with your collar though.

you'll never get anywhere if you're too much of a coward to try.

[ aaand we're back to tough love. but she feels kind of bad about it (not too bad, just a little), so she follows up with: ]

you're sick of training, so this thing's all i've got. sorry kid

When it comes to other people
And the chance of maybe causing them harm
I will always be a coward.

Thank you for the thought, miss!!
It is appreciated :)

[ ....okay, she can kind of respect that. Call it perspective gained by watching the decimation of half of the galaxy's civilization.

So after a bit longer pause: ]

there are worse kinds of coward. and it's Shepard

I'm Akito
