Welcome to the Normandy Jack and Miranda, Shepard's second in command.
On the ship, we follow orders.
Tell the Cerberus cheerleader to back off, Shepard.
First off, first off, um, I want y'all to calm it down.
No catfights, right?
The main thing about catfights is I avoided them.
Y'all got to cut that out.
This mission, so Pete, y'all, y'all don't even know what's about to happen.
I don't even know what's incoming.
Just your boy, Shepherd, on the prison, in the prison yard,
not worry about anything anybody got to say to me.
Welcome to the purgatory, Shepherd.
Jack is the meanest handful of violence and hate I've ever encountered.
Dangerous, crazy, and very powerful.
You'll see soon enough.
The goat.
The goat, but not the goat, but you know, one of the favorites in this series.
She's not my particular favorite, but I do recognize she's a very solid character.
Having a convict like Jack on this game is crazy.
Also, Jack must be like really valuable.
I've been around. Ran with gangs, wiped out some gangs, joined a cult.
Kept the haircut.
I was looking for answers.
Drugs and sex and going to a better place?
A better place. Right.
It was all about money.
They wanted to take a colony, shake the suckers down to fund their spread, and guess who was their ace in the hole?
They were just like the rest.
Didn't give one shit about me.
Everybody wants something.
And because of that, everything is fair game.
Murder, assault, kidnapping, drugs, stealing, arson.
Not at all.
Piracy, theft of military.
...of a space station and vandalism.
That was a good one.
There's no reason I should be alive, but I am.
Instinct.
It's worked for me so far, and I'm not going to change.
