[ Judging by the tired-of-this-shit look on Shepard's face, she's finally biting some kind of bullet when she shoves the back of her hair up and lifts the camera to see the back of her metal Outer Authorities collar. The hand pushing her hair aside lets go of it in favor of taking hold of the collar and trying to give it a wiggle. It doesn't budge, clearly fused to the back of her spine. ]

I want this thing the hell off me. If any of you med-tech types need a pet project, get in touch.

[ And that's it. The feed cuts off there. ]

[ Her guy Alenko. She appreciates the sentiment, whether or not it's true anymore.

As for the offer, she shakes her head. ]

Hasn't hurt since the day after they put it in me. [ Slight exaggeration, but the point stands. If it does still hurt, her system's used to it by now, to the point that she doesn't notice. ]

Fair enough. What the kriff is it supposed to even do?

[femshep]

Tracking and observation. [ Offered grudgingly. ] Not to mention blocking my biotics.

[erranthero]

It blocks those? Kriff. And the Authorities can't take it off?

[Video]

[femshep]

I'm sure they could. They're the assholes who put it on me.

[erranthero]

Get in touch then. That was a different group, after all.

[femshep]

Supposedly.
