Wrex,

One of my missions when I started working for my father was to create a school for teenagers which would help children in difficult circumstances get a quality education. I've been thinking about it for some time, and I think that your ranch would be an excellent place to start. It's my intention to staff the school with the best teachers I can hire, and make it free for your children to attend. If that works out I'll reach out to similar programs in the area.

I know you currently have a couple teachers, which will provide invaluable feedback about the realities of teaching your children.

Please let me know what you think.

If you think your character is on this list, they probably are.

Tali

>> Do you know how to make a program to uh..catalog a library?

Dani

>> I need you in charge of the library.
>> I'd like you to work with Tate Langdon
>> Figure he needs the help, plus expanding it was his idea and he deserves a shot.

Hey. Do you have a minute?

>> Shepard

>> Got a new doc to help Faiza around the ranch.
>> Cabin needs furniture.
>> We should do that thing that involves buying some.
>> You might feel better

>> I hate to ask, but I really need you to fill in as bouncer for me tonight.
>> Please.

>> You. Me. Steak dinner. Restaurant.
>> Cabin is ready to move in to!

>> Can't come in today
>> Had the mother of all anxiety attacks last night.
>> I got maybe an hour of sleep.
>> And I ruined my husband's relationship with his brother.
>> So that's going to be super awkward.
>> Sorry, I'm rambling.

>> I think we're harboring a runaway.
>> He's related to Alex somehow.
>> He has a broken arm and apparently no pain pills for it.
>> So you can imagine what a happy camper he is right now.

>> You have any plans next Monday?
>> Me and Lorna are going to take Dani to the beach, but we need someone to keep her busy while we work out the logistics.
>> The girl needs some serious R&R.

>> Dinner? A movie? Cupcakes?

[ backdated to earlier in the evening, during ... whatever brand of crazy was happening at Urdnot Ranch ]

>> So I'm not in trouble.
>> But I need somewhere to crash while I sell my house.
>> Got any room over there at Casa Wrex?

>> You okay?

>> Are we still looking after Thea?
>> There's a guy named Roy on the network and he looks exactly like the other Roy.

"So uh...what would you say if I asked you if you could make room for two more at the ranch? I'm not sure how long but we need a change of pace where somebody can be around to help with some of the stuff that's come up 24/7. "

"Forcing Thea to a different program didn't work out in the past, and it only made her distrust her parents a whole lot more, but the ranch seemed to do well for her, like if she'd stayed longer, or this hadn't come up. And I'm a part of whatever this is so...I'd like to be there too to help and stuff. Uh, I hope that's not a problem?"

>> Harbinger was at my place.

>> Alma's the proud mother of a baby girl.

>> I'm not going to pull away.

>> I want us to be all right.

Text to Alma
>> You think Wrex will let us set a nursery up on the ranch?
>> after Elise finishes needing it some other girl here may need it
>> I can paint and do all of that

[Sent a few minutes later to Wrex]
>> May I have a room to set up as a nursery for Elise?
>> I'll do all the labor.

So, do you need me to bring anything when I come by the help out tomorrow?

[Elena[

>> I'd like you to interview this Abby Maitland person. I think she can help us recover from this virus.


[Kasumi]

>> Can I take you out to dinner?

[Wrex]
>> We should divide up the kids into two dorms. Infected Sick and not-sick.
>> I think they've finally figured out that not having classes doesn't mean they can go to the mall.

>> Are you okay?

[Wrex]

>> This is going to sound crazy
>> You can't have kids, right?
>> I know I was drunk when we talked, but you did say you were infertile, right?

>>Gonna need a little help here.
>>Driving up and things got crazy.

Hey.

I'm the last person you probably want to talk to about the ranch but...

You have any room for outpatient drug therapy stuff?

You can pick your jaw up off the floor that I'm the one who typed that yeah.

I know somebody in the age group who needs help but has a job to work around and stuff.

Also, seriously, sorry about getting your kid high this summer. Only meant to get MINE high.

Ollie:

That college offer? It still stand? Can we get me in for January still?

Clint:

I'm not shooting at my best and don't know how to fix it. Can I come have you bitch at me?

Dr. Mad Science:

So far, so good with the arm. I've been having some psychological stuff going on with forgetting it's there still, and defaulting to the left, but when I remember I'm not feeling a phantom limb, it's amazing.

The arm is actually better than it was when it was amputated. I'd had some shoulder problems from getting shot and stabbed there the last couple years, and those are gone. Of course, so's my muscle definition and I've had to take practices slow, but I'm getting back up there and so far so good.

Wrex:

The new improved ranch have room for a part time instructor to start in January?

Interested in someone with some relevant experience?

Zevran:

This sounds kinda stereotypically gay, but...wanna go see the Nutcracker and then dinner? Also, I love you. Thanks for putting up with me.

Wrex -- I have some money I'd like to donate and the center keeps coming to mind.

So I had this brilliant idea for the children at the Ranch. A way to teach them mechanics and electronics, as well as research.

What if we held a little robot battle tournament. The kids could break up into teams and the winners could get something special.

Maybe we could even open this up to outside people for donations or what have you.

[Beth Cassidy]

>> I want to talk to you about your folks sometime
>> But do you want to go with Alma somewhere this weekend?

[Kasumi]

>> Alma's at Shepard's and I have a really nice bottle of scotch that's all lonely.

[To Roy]

>> Hey kid. How's it going?

[To Zevran]

>> I'm going to give you a chance to explain yourself.

[Shepard]

>> I'll be back on Saturday.
>> I'm not sure this accomplished anything but hurting people.
>> Cleared my head at least.
>> Tell me Alma hasn't been a handful

[Alma]

>> Kid. I'm sorry I took off like that.
>> I'll be back soon.

[Summers]

>> Me you and Shep will have a pow wow when I get in.
>> I've had some ideas.

[Kasumi]

>> I uh..how do I ..
>> Hey.

>> Don't even read it.

If you can get away from your mother in the next hour, I have a doctor here at the ranch who can run those tests for you.

I think I'm stronger than I should be. I didn't realize it was beyond what was normal until they pulled me aside for a drug test.

Clean, obviously.

Is there any way to test for -- I don't know, alien super-strength? I don't know if I know how to hold back.

[Text to Wrex]
>> Are you awake? Please be awake.
>> Can you come to the bar? I know it's late

[Text to Jim Raynor]
>> You should think about getting some muscle for the bar until you're back

[Text to Shepard, a bit later]
>> Shepardd?

I would never. I confess I kissed her, but that is all. If anything, I wish for Alma to have a different life than the one I have had.

Found him. He's at [address encrypted]. Let's move.

>> So that's the dancing
>> I could use a couple days off this week.
>> Exams are coming up, and my brain has forgotten how to think.
