Something she once told Shepard, years ago, back home, suddenly occurs to her - that AI don't need organics to survive or thrive. They don't fit into organic culture in ways that don't involve subjugating them - something no sentient being would (or should) tolerate.

Being kidnapped into another dimension and being forced to work together? Yeah, that changes the rules as well, and she has no idea what to do with herself. She's flustered - and the apology just makes her more so.]
I... Yeah, I've definitely been surprised before. [She clears her throat. Tries to make her voice sound stronger.] Wh-- [That was nearly 'what'. She changes tack at top speed.] Who are you?
