Now, pop those ear buds in and we'll begin the test! Failure to comply will result in desyncing and forcing your team to pay for a replacement body.

Tens of millions of people were killed. And that was just in the first few days. I. . . didn't take any more notice of the numbers after that.

[thatboyisamonster]

. . .

Does that make you feel guilty? Or was there more to it?

[cloak_and_sniper]

I don't know. . . I was more angry over the numbers because if people had listened, if they'd prepared, the numbers could have been fewer.

[thatboyisamonster]

Communication. Are you trust-worthy?

[bristles]

I warned the Council against the Reaper threat and a Reaper attacked. It was taken down, I sacrificed Allaince ships to save their lives! When I tried to warn of more, they ignored me. And they continued to ignore me until the Reapers assault of Earth two years later. It wasn't that I wasn't trust-worthy! It was that they were unwilling to listen to anything that threatened their false-sense-of-security!

[thatboyisamonster]

Calm down. All I'm doing is finding the right answers.

[cloak_and_sniper]

I'm... sorry. It's a sore subject.

[thatboyisamonster]

Indeed. That's why I asked. Our secrets have always been a sore subject.

[cloak_and_sniper]

That wasn't a secret, though. I was publicly... dismissed.

[thatboyisamonster]

. . . I see. And then?

[cloak_and_sniper]

After the single Reaper? I was sent out to hunt Geth. And died.

[thatboyisamonster]

You died?

[cloak_and_sniper]

My ship was attacked unexpectedly. Superior weaponry, cut through the shields like a knife through butter. Was dead or in a coma for two years.
