[Locked to Julian Sark]

Before you ask: Revan told me you were leading Martha into something. No, she didn't give me details. No, so far as I know, she didn't tell anyone else. But you're going to lock me in on this, so that whatever Martha's trying to do doesn't wind up absolutely destroying her, and I won't have to shut the two of you down immediately. Understood?

I think changing her mind will be a losing proposition, at this point. But we're up against a special-ops trained soldier from the future with all associated equipment and weaponry, not to mention a history of backing herself with plenty of goons. Even with your no doubt excellent rifle training, it's something I wouldn't feel comfortable sending one member of my team into. Let alone Martha.

If we're done with accusations and defenses, now, maybe we could discuss how I could be helpful. You know, just to ward off any chance that everything will blow up in our face.

You forget I worked with her. I'm fully aware of what she's capable of.

If you intend to engage in some countermeasure, it would have to be kept private from Martha, considering she'll just find another way to go through with this without either of us finding out, but I'm sure I don't have to tell you that either.

For the record, at the moment, the only plan I have is to present Shepard with something she wants and hope Martha can take her out before anything gets out of hand.

If we can get this done cleanly, I'm all for putting Shepard away. And I'm sure the amount of training Martha will need will give us plenty of time to flesh out that plan so it's less patently suicidal.

When and where will you be training?

You have no idea how desperate that woman is to get this finished. It'll take less time than you'd think if she's a fast learner.

We haven't decided on that yet. Hopefully, someplace discreet and out of the way. I'm sure there's a slum somewhere that will suit our purposes.

[eelseason]

Yeah, desperation gets you killed. We'll have to train that out of her.

Let me know when you find a spot. I'll be there. And I'll explain, myself; you don't need to say anything.

We. If I'm in that collective 'we' you keep using, I'd love to know when exactly that happened.

Of course, because anything I might say at this point will just prove to her that I've done the very thing I told her I wouldn't do. You know, you make it hard for a man to keep his word.

[eelseason]

It happened when I decided you wouldn't be written out of this. I take care of my people, Sark, and if that means using you to do it, so be it.
