[ There's a woman, tattooed from head to toe, and wearing barely anything but a few creatively strapped white bandages for a shirt, and she seems to be meandering aimlessly about the Initiative Hold complex, looking up and around rather than at the screen. ]

Normally when I show up in a new place and people start trying to throw weapons at me I'm fucking thrilled. But I've got a group of delinquents-to-be I need to go back to teaching how to blow shit up and kick Reaper ass. [ She pauses to chew at the inside of a cheek thoughtfully before turning her full attention to the screen. ]

So if you don't mind, and if it's all the same to you guys and the representative from the Stepford galaxy over here [ a thumb jerked to the woman in purple and black robes and stiffly designed hair that picked her up from the glowy platform ], I'm just gonna take my fancy head-splitter [ a shotgun is waved haphazardly in the view of the camera ] and fuck right off.

[ A silent moment passes before she deadpans with an edge of lazy threat: ]

And by that I do, in fact, mean: point me to the exit before I start cracking skulls.

Thanks.

[Tali squints at the video. This person seems very familiar to her, somehow, but she can't quite remember. Memory loss really stinks.]

Sorry, no exit available. We're all stuck here for the foreseeable future.

[ Oh look, Quarian. Assuming it's the one Shepard had before? Maybe? Whatever, we'll go with that. ]

Well if it isn't Bucket Head. And Shepard's just okay with that?

[wow jack that's kind of racist]

Shepard... [She trails off as she struggles to remember. Oh, that's the nice human lady who follows her around and reminds her of things. :V] No, of course not. None of us are, but there's nothing to be done. Not yet, anyway.

[a hesitant pause] Could I ask your name, by the way? Sorry, I... forgot.

[ w e l p ]

Yes. Shepard. Hero of the galaxy. You might have heard of her. [ What even is your malfunction. ] Uh huh. Yeah, we'll see.

[ She shrugs, w/e, she doesn't remember you either, jerk ] Jack. It's cool, I don't remember you either. [ Except Shepard just told her you're Tali and she knows who Tali is w/e w/e you're all jackasses. ]

I'm sure I have. [Tali groans. The random amnesia is embarrassing as hell, on top of being really worrying.] I've been having some problems with memory loss, apparently - just short-term, at first, but apparently it's... getting worse.

Jack. Right. [Beep boop beep just making a note in her omni-tool, while she still remembers how to use it.] You look different. I think. Could just be the amnesia again.

Yeah, noticing that. Plus, Shepard filled me in.

Been about six months and some change since I've seen you, so yeah, I've had some changes. Whenever you get over your temporary crazy maybe it'll register.
