video, backdated to pre-plots
[Shepard has settled into her quarters, and the background to her transmission is a thrilling expanse of undecorated wall with a little bit of couch cushion visible near the bottom of the frame. She herself is a red-haired, pale-skinned human woman with green eyes and a calm, no-nonsense demeanor, wearing what looks like it could be a military or merchant marine uniform, though it has no obvious insignia or rank.]
My name's Shepard. I just got here, obviously, and I have a question. The staff was polite about it, but considering one of them nearly dropped his datapad when I floated the idea, there's obviously something they're not telling me...why is "Spectre" a bad codename?
[She could just freakin' Space Google it, but this is a good icebreaker. Besides, she doesn't have her omni-tool and she finds the omnicomm interface unreasonably clunky and inflexible.]

[On to the question.]
Anyway, the Spectre's already around. They say he's the Wrath of God. Kills murderers and other criminals. Spooky powerful, too. I read that he destroyed an entire country because he figured they'd never stop their civil war.
All I really know for sure is that he let a teammate of ours die just to get a reason to kill someone.

That's...very legalistic.
no subject
But, yeah. At this point it's kind of like calling yourself Jason Vorhees or something. Sorry.
no subject
...I see.
[She's got no problem with killing, but the legal system exists for a reason.]
I'm gonna assume "Vorhees" isn't your last name?
[Shepard's familiarity with 200-year-old slasher flicks is minimal.]
no subject
Nah. I'm Jason Lee Scott.
He's from this, uh. Horror series. Sorry. Like, nine movies about an unkillable zombie murderer in a hockey mask.

[Her voice is dryly amused.
Sorry, Casey.]
no subject
[Someone missed your implication, Shep.]
no subject
I guess I'll just have to come up with my own style, then.
[So deadpan.]
