[ It's less an attachment, though Alloran is perfectly fine by her current estimations, and more that he has done no wrong. She knows this, because she's been here the entire time he has. Being a law and order type, Shepard is not the kind of woman who would allow an 'innocent' to be detained, let alone carted off in the manner Alloran expressed.

She nods and returns the smile, assuming her reassurance is appreciated. ]

Hundred and eighty-five years, though if the guy you're talking about is from the same, uh... timeline, then that's good news for me.

[ It's hard not to think of things on a linear scale. Getting to know people and their histories here is going to take a lot of adjustment for Shepard. ]

You're probably going to get this all again from the crew, but the long and short of it is that some "magic artifact" that no one knows the location of brought us here. You might remember uncorking a glass bottle and being submerged in water?

[ A mirthless chuckle as she shrugs. ]

I was unconscious, so I dunno how I managed to do that.
