paragon mshep has no idea what's in store for him

So this is the beginning of a long journey. For you, for me, for everyone on this ship. I don't know what's coming, but I hope I'm up to the task. Not that I see the logic behind giving me a voice here, but orders are orders. I think I've got a few too many on my crew who like to forget rules exist for a reason. But maybe that's what I need to challenge my thinking, keep me on my toes. As long as they don't challenge me mid-battle.

They're good soliders. Garrus worries me a little, but his intentions are the same as mine. Just different methods. Wrex worries me a lot, but I think that's a cultural misunderstanding. Ashley's been through hell recently, I'd like to keep an eye on her. Preferably from the bottom of a bottle of whiskey, because I don't intend to talk about Akuze sober. 

And Tali's just... brilliant. She could talk circles around me, I don't have a clue how this ship runs, or how we picked up somebody as smart as her. Kaiden? Well, I don't know what to make of him yet.

But I've got a bad feeling about all of this. The Council, the Spectres, the whole mission stinks to high heaven. I just hope for once, my gut is wrong.
