[A happy dog means a happy heart and Shepard's smile grows by a watt. She is, alas, too slow to stop the dog kiss and she sputters a bit. Feel lucky, Shepard, that it wasn't too slimy.]

Hm. So you were also mysteriously plucked from whatever world you're from and brought here.

[She shakes her head.]

No offense, but why would it bring a dog here? That throws my theories out the window.

[It feels a little weird to be speaking to a dog like they're a person but at this point she has been... extremely intelligent in responding to what she says. It's a little suspect. Perhaps her theories aren't dashed after all.]
