[Less than an hour after the Reaper crash lands in the Hills, Shepard is on the network.
She starts the video much more seriously than her other broadcasts, in full armor with guns visible on her back. Unlike her usual smiles, she looks utterly, incredibly serious, holding her sniper rifle plenty visible. For all of the jokes and encouragement she’s given the Mansion before, she looks utterly devoid of it now.]
Alright. I’m gonna make this really, really fuckin’ clear. That thing out there is called a Reaper. It’s a destroyer of worlds, it harvests entire species, and even one of them can wipe a planet. There is nothing for you in there. There’s no cool aliens. There’s no cool tech. Because the real things Reapers bring is Indoctrination.
[She pauses just long enough to catch her breath, and keeps going.]
The longer you’re in that thing, the more you’re gonna want to serve it. The more you’re gonna want everyone you know to serve it. And the more you’ll go to any goddamn lengths to do that, including killing everyone you know. It’ll infect electronics, broadcast signals, and the only way to be cured is to die. It is dangerous. So I’m gonna make this real easy.
[She hoists her gun a little more into view.]
I catch you going anywhere near that thing, and I will take out your goddamn kneecaps from 60 yards.
[She brings the gun back down, but still only at rest.]
You wanna know more about it, you can ask me here. Otherwise, I swear to fuckin’ god, stay out of it.
[private; to Rick Sanchez]
I need to talk to you. Immediately. I need a favor.
[ooc: Feel free to use this if you want to meet up with Shepard near to the Reaper site on day 1, also! She will not actually be shooting people directly, but she has a great aim and will be taking shots right in front of them if she sees them approach. There are, of course, tons of entrances to this thing, so she won’t be able to fend everyone off!]
