Thanks for the heads up.

[ He seems serious about it, too, but his expression lightens a little, and he uncrosses his arms. ]

I don't think we've actually met before. You already know my name, so ... mind telling me yours?

[iamtetsuo]

[If this place weren't already a huge headache... eh, whatever. That should be sarcasm, but this guy seems so sincere about it. Come on, most people would be at least more wary than THAT.]

We haven't. I don't make a habit of dealing with military guys in general.

[Kaidan's just an exception. Once he's gotten the disclaimer out of the way, he'll actually answer that question.]

...

I'm Tetsuo.

[No last name. He's done the best he can to erase all trace of that, but his skills are limited. It's around.]

[sassguard]

You're not the first one to say that.

[ That's more murmured to himself than Tetsuo, though.

Shepard doesn't waste a lot of time being unncessarily paranoid ... either the kid is screwing him over, or he isn't. He hates the idea of his mind being manipulated and pried into again, but he suspects it would be easy to tell, in this case -- someone with no compunction coming up to a stranger and demanding information likely isn't someone who necessarily cares about being subtle. ]

I'm Commander Shepard, but you knew that already. Just Shepard works fine.

[iamtetsuo]

[He's not wrong. Tetsuo typically operates with all the subtlety of a thrown brick. But he also operates with all the gleeful mayhem that ensues, given half a chance and a reason.]

Shepard, huh?

[He... tries to say it, at least. His accent gets in his way some.]

I'm not gonna be the last one, either. Anyone with an ounce of sense that isn't military's gonna say that.

[sassguard]

I'm not technically part of the military here. Just a police officer. [ The quick, wry smile that flickers across his face suggests he finds a touch of humor in the claim -- knowing that's not necessarily something that makes it better.

Besides, you can take the Commander out of the Alliance, but you can't take the Alliance out of the Commander... ]

I was an Alliance brat, so I guess I have a different perspective. [ A shrug. ] I don't take it personally. It's not like I always see eye to eye with the military, either.

[iamtetsuo]

Alliance?

[He has to think a moment on that, back to history... yeah, no, he's still not getting it.]

Like Allied forces or something?

[sassguard]

Something like that. It started out as a group of countries coming together to spearhead space exploration. Now, the Systems Alliance is the official representative of humanity in the galaxy.

It has a few different branches, but my parents were part of the military -- like me and Kaidan.
