"'Friends' might be pushing it for some of 'em," Harry allows. "But there's a bunch of them. Shepard's my girlfriend and technically my commanding officer, but we were dating first and it's not a military outfit, so if anyone wants to complain it's gonna get complicated. She recently got some cybernetics that made her even more badass than usual, which is great. Grunt's the lizard-guy; he's a krogan, a race of warriors. He's also like their equivalent of thirteen and spent his formative years in a cloning tank or something, so as you can imagine, he has great social skills."

"Then there's Garrus. He and Shepard go back to her time with the Alliance. He's a turian and the best sniper I've ever met. Became a Spectre in honor of Shepard; that's kind of like the Council's version of special ops. Our engineer Tali's known Shepard just as long, and she's cute as a button, or at least I assume so since quarians can't ever take off their environment suits. We're still recruiting a bunch of people too, so there's probably gonna be more in the coming weeks. Oh, and Joker came along from the Alliance too. He has the rather dubious superpower of breaking his bones easier than other people, but he makes up for it by being a badass pilot. We're totally bros."
