SUBJECT: Lunch?
Hey Shepard,
I was thinking that we should go over that intel we got from the spy, and see what we wanted to do with it. It could be useful, but I think we should come up with a plan of attack.
How about lunch, next Saturday? Looks like my schedule with work won't be free until then.

(Roy had overheard some other officers at the station talk about how the Commander had returned from his vacation. He couldn't help but wonder what it was that he found, if anything.
It's late at night when Roy finally gets around to contacting Shepard, so he opts for text instead of calling just in case the other man is asleep. It's short and phrased vaguely, if only because he still doesn't trust these communicators.)
Sounds like you had quite a vacation, Commander. I'd be curious to hear more about it when you have the time.

[ It was one hell of a vacation, all right. Especially considering he'd ended up back at the precinct a day early, and in a bad mood. Luckily, he hasn't been pulled off the force, but the treatment they've received has certainly left him considering it.
The odd hours he keeps means the response comes back swiftly, just as deliberately vague. With Shepard giving the government plenty of reason to feel less than kindly inclined towards him, the caution is warranted. ]
You'll need to buy me a drink before I tell you about that.

Shepard, Alenko, Mustang, Revan. My tent, now.

[ The past few weeks have brought about a lot of...well, interesting revelations about a lot of things. The last thing she wants to do is drag Shepard into all of this, but there is something slightly outside of it all that she wants to talk to him about. It's probably not her place, but the phone had already gone through to voicemail by the time she thought of that. ]
Oh, hi. It's Ellie. I was just calling to ask if you'd like to meet up sometime to discuss something. There's [ she pauses for a second that turns into another second before she speaks ] there's something I wanted to talk to you about. Anyway, if you'd like just pick a place and give me a call back with a time. Or text and I'll be there.
[ Good job Ellie that wasn't awkward at all. ]

[ This is somewhat unexpected, but he doesn't have any reason to think Ellie would have questionable reasons to get in touch with him, and so his response is faintly concerned -- more for her than himself. ]
Sure, Ellie. [ It sounds important, he doesn't say, but nobody ever contacts Commander Shepard for small talk. ]
I've got some time this afternoon. Meet me at the coffee shop on [address] at four?

Shepard. Got some results on that little project you asked me to take a look at. Can we meet up? I'd like to fill you in personally.
[Ring, ring, ring. Once Shepard picks up his phone, Jaime's not going to wait longer than a hello - hardly that - before bursting out in a single breath:]
Shepard do you know where Kaidan is he's going around attacking people and he beat up my girlfriend and I'm pretty sure he'll try to beat you up too.
[He's both angry and worried, which just winds up making him sound worried in a very, very intense way.]

[ It's not really a surprise he's getting this call, but it's a surprise in the sense that Shepard realizes he probably should have been the one making something similar -- it's easy when he's dealing with members of his own crew, but who to notify about Kaidan simply hadn't occurred to him.
Still, it's not a time for self-recrimination, and when he responds his tone is calm, if a bit strained. ]
I've got him. We're at the apartment. [ A pause to breathe. ] Did you get your girlfriend to a hospital?

[ Please pick up, please pick up. Whenever Shepard picks up, he can hear the sound of someone struggling for breath on the other end before Kasumi finally speaks. ]
Shep. Something's wrong with Samara. She--she attacked me.

[ pick up your phone Shep this is extremely important

Hey Shep.
I'm sure you've heard about Jacob's operation going ass-end up on the news by now. I just wanted to let you know that I made it out in one piece [ relatively ] but I'm probably going to have to lay low for a little while. Which shouldn't be all that different from my usual state of being anyway.

I saw. I'm glad you made it out of there.
[ It's hard to know what else to say. There's guilt, in a way, but it's not in his nature to dwell on things that are already over -- though now he wonders if he owes it to Jacob, to try and figure out how to help. ]
Do you need a place to stay?

[ There's a slight delay, but thankfully, being in his suit means Shepard can operate hands free. It takes a few rings, as he works on herding panicked civilians towards the exits, and when he picks up its with the crackle characteristic of headset comms. ]
Are you somewhere safe?
Are you somewhere safe?
Commander Shepard, it's Minato. You have my teammate's weapon. The Evoker. I'd like it back.
[Minato understands how crazy the swear in was, he really, really does. And Ken was attacking people. But he can't help some shortness in his words; he's touchy about having Evokers taken away. He's also more than a little tired, after everything.

No holds barred, Shep.

Shepard. Guess the shoe's on the other foot now, huh? I just got Ported back in. Heard I missed some things.
[ At any point on Christmas Eve, Shepard might find a mysterious stack of presents in the living room of his and Kaidan's apartment. If the two have a tree set up, it's right underneath, in a spot where there previously were no presents. There are three gifts labeled for Shepard in this pile, artfully and impeccably wrapped--there's a tag on the tiniest (and it truly is tiny) one that says, "Open this one first," although whether or not it is actually opened first is entirely up to the recipient, of course.
Either way, whenever he decides to open the gifts, he will find:
The last one has a note attached to it: "Maybe having a second passenger on-board will encourage you to drive a little more carefully... Not that that's stopped you before. Just try not to cause too much trouble? Happy Holidays!"
It is, of course, unsigned... ]
Either way, whenever he decides to open the gifts, he will find:
- In the tiny bag: an equally tiny Santa hat. This one is probably not for Shepard.
- The second bag contains a vey high-quality (you can tell in the fabric, alright?) hoodie. That one probably is for Shepard.
- The final present, wrapped in a box, is this. Is it for the dog, or the Commander? Spoilers: it's for both.

[Christmas delivery!
Shepard will find an awfully big package dropped off by Jaime, and once opened, it's revealed to be a doggy motorcycle seat, just right for Mako's size... as well as a sheet of motorcycle decals, but it's a seventeen year old's idea of what's cool, so take that as you will.
Enclosed is a note:]
Merry Christmas, Shepard!
I figured you could use a way of hauling Mako around that isn't just carrying her around in a kennel or walking her, so now she can ride in style. Thanks for all those lessons you gave me. I gotta say I like biking a lot more than I like riding the bus.
Make sure you and Kaidan have a good celebration!

[So when either Kaidan or Shepard open the front door on Christmas morning, they'll find a small package addressed to the both of them. Inside is a matching set of mittens and dog booties, along with a small note.]
"Even though I know Florida is supposed to be warmer, it still felt pretty freezing when I was human or whatever. So I figured maybe you guys could use something like this. (Mako, too!)
--Phoebe"
