Ryder is no stranger to mass effect fields, and Shepard's is making her pretty damn nervous. As she is pulled up, her hands go up, blueish purple light surrounding them as she exerts her own biotics in trying to steady herself in Shepard's grip, keep herself from hurtling off, or just being flipped end on end, or...whatever. Even after Shepard lets her go, Ryder's biotics are utilized as her feet still refuse to support her body weight, and her butt meets the ground in a much calmer fashion than gravity would otherwise allow.

"Yeah, I've met turians like that. Though the one on my ship was pretty different. Used to be a smuggler. Did you even know turians did smuggling? But she's great, I'd never have been able to get popcorn in Andromeda without her." It's the important stuff, you know? As Ryder speaks, she starts touching her legs gently, poking and prodding to figure out where the majority of the damage seems to be.

"But, um. If you're Commander Shepard, that means..." She pauses, to look up at her. "...You know Liara T'Soni, right? Is she here? Do you think you could introduce us? When I was in the Alliance, I worked with Prothean researchers, and I read a lot of her papers. If I could pick her mind, I'd love to ask about her reasoning behind--"

Pause.

"--Anyway. Is she here?"
