Shepard awaited the arrival of his newest recruit. He had picked them by hand, in hopes that they would prove a valuable asset to the crew, and the raging war against Cerberus, and the Reapers. These days, it was all hands on deck, and he was more than willing to get a few more of them.

He lead a meeting with the rest of his crew at the bridge, discussing the latest recruit and the skills they could bring to the table. He also gave updates on the war effort, and the impending arrival of the Reapers. To his surprise, the recruit in question walked into the room just as the meeting was taking place. What perfect timing.

"Well, look who it is. Welcome aboard the SSV Normandy."
