There’s only so much fight in a person.
Only so much death you can take before you–

Before your friend picks you up, dusts you off, and tells you you’re the best damn soldier he’s ever met. Every fight we’ve seen could’ve been our last. Every bullet we dodged could’ve been the one. Odds don’t matter anymore. This fight has always been ours to finish.

I want you to know that no matter what happens, you’ve been a champion to the krogan people, a friend of Clan Urdnot, and a sister to me. To every krogan born after this day, the name “Shepard” will mean “hero”.

Had to be me. Someone else might’ve gotten it wrong.

I’ve never been part of a team. I’m learning the virtues of facing death with others at your side.

Thank you, Shepard. You gave me purpose. Now let’s find something big to kill.

Our scepticism was misplaced. Thank you.

Thank you, Commander. For letting the last voice of the Protheans speak. It has been a privilege.

Almost thought you weren’t going to make it, Shepard. Glad I was wrong.

Shepard, when this mess is over, drinks are on me. Be safe out there.

You know, I’m not sure that I’ve been wrong about Cerberus … but I’ve been wrong about you. I need you to know that I’ll never doubt you again. I’ve got your back.

It’s been an honour serving with you, Shepard.

Getting you to the ground alive is a responsibility I wouldn’t trust to anyone else.

I came on this ship firmly believing humanity was on its own in the galaxy. Shepard brought all these aliens on board, and there’s no way we could have accomplished what we did without them. I am proud to say I’d die for any member of this crew, regardless of what world they were born on.

This wasn’t a victory by a single fleet, a single army, or even a single species. If this war has taught us anything, it is that we are at our strongest when we work together.

Can’t wait to see what the hell you make us do next. It’s been a good ride.

You did good, child. You did good. I’m proud of you.
