This is a request that if any other members of the Normandy crew have shown up here, they let me know. I'd like to know how many of us there are to work with.

[Not that she's the leading type, but it -- seems like it's going to be necessary, at least until Shepard shows up. She just has to have faith that Shepard will show up.]

[She clears her throat. She should probably say something to the rest of the people here, too.]

If any of you missed it, some of the remaining members of this ship's crew are answering questions here.

[Not that it's very informative. Still.]

My thoughts exactly. I don't know what use they have for the rest of us without Shepard, really.

Well, it's not as if we don't have our own uses. But it is a strange group to collect, no matter how you look at it.

Some of the others here, though -- they seem young by human standards to be working on a space ship.

[Working as a quarian child -- after a certain age -- was fully part of the culture of the whole being more important than the individual, however.]

It's nice to know the proud tradition of human child labour is still alive somewhere in the multiverse. By which I mean, it's terrible, and I hope they find someone to look after the kids.

It's my understanding that so far, the people who seem to run this place aren't going to put them to work. There's that, at least.

So far, they seem mostly like decent people stuck in a hard situation. I don't know whether to be thankful or suspicious.

I think so far that a mix of both is the best way to go.

Are you planning to pitch in? Except for the kids, they appear to be quite insistent about everyone pulling their weight around here.

I think that getting my hands into the engine isn't going to be the worst thing for us -- I'll offer to help.

You're right. It might get us access to some of the restricted parts of the ship if you did. If anything fishy's going on around here, there has to be some sign of it somewhere.

Hopefully.

I'm sure you can do some investigating of your own, too.

Oh, I plan to. Thankfully, I still have my omni-tool, so I should be able to sneak around unnoticed, get into things I shouldn't be getting into. You know, the usual.

I've still got mine too -- along with a Carniflex pistol.

[You know, just in case.]

It's nice that they were thoughtful enough to arm us after they abducted us. Whoever "they" are.

It worries me, actually. If we need to be armed on a nearly-empty ship...

...Then what kind of things should we be worried about shooting? I hope the guns are just a fluke and not something we'll need to use. There are people here who have probably never even seen a gun in real life.

I wish I could believe that. After everything that's happened in the past few years, though, I -- can't.

[S-sob no Fleet-related naivety for her.]

I'm sure you saw that Garrus is here as well. At the very least, we'll be -- well-equipped for a fight. You're right, though -- not everyone will be.

[ Inwardly, Kasumi sympathizes. It had been a tough few years for everyone in the crew, and it didn't seem like it was going to get easier suddenly. ]

It wouldn't be the first time we had civilians to protect. I am glad you and Garrus are here. Whatever's coming, I wouldn't want to have to take it on on my own.

Right. We'll -- be prepared. I'm sure there are others used to protecting civilians too, from the looks of the network.

It looks like a tough group, actually. If I was a mysterious force abducting people for unknown but nefarious purposes, I'm not sure this is who I'd pick. Seems like more trouble than it would be worth. Unless I was trying to build some sort of army, I guess.

Now there's a thought. If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were trying to make me worry.
