[Another Shepard, and Nihlus somehow still recognized her. She sits up straighter, picking out the differences between this new Shepard, the spacer, and herself. It doesn't make much sense to her that this one could look like a completely different person, until she remembers the different circumstances of her timeline's Shepard's upbringing and that of the one in cryo. Why not a different looking Shepard in some other timeline? DNA can express itself in different ways.]

The other one's in cryo - she looks like me. We're pretty different, though. Different upbringings, different combat classes...

[She gives a very slight nod. You're the newbie, you can dish first.]
