Well, I dunno about you, but I haven't had the fun experience of my CO getting sucked through some weird interdimensional portal back into the alternate universe from whence he came, so...

[He shrugs, because... fuck, what are you supposed to say when stupid B-movie sci-fi shit like that is your real life? If he'd known his life was going to be this batshit when he signed up to be chief helmsman on the Normandy, he would've asked for higher pay.]

And, yeah, Shepard's gone and it sucks for all of us, but we're not the ones who were dating the guy. Totally different flavors of suck going on.

[And Kaidan doesn't appear to be handling this kind of suck all that well. Joker tries real hard to make it look like he doesn't, but he worries about his crew when things hit the fan.]
