[Shepard is very confident about this fact, for some reason. What that reason might be, she does not share, not even in the natural hints that interconnected memory tends to sneak into shared thoughts-- shielding by disciplined self-control, rather than simple barriers to entry.]
(Forty seconds is the longest you'll have to get through, either way. I'll force a third on the return trip if you need it, but if they don't notice it then they're not exactly doing their jobs.) [To whit: it'll devolve into an explosive gunfight. Just like every other covert op that Shepard works on. This statistical fact she does not hide.] (Think you can handle it?)
