004 ✰ action to Kai Leng | Before the Masquerade

[renegadeparagon]

[Shepard had talked things out with everyone he needed to speak to and headed for the cargo hold he had been keeping Kai Leng in. He couldn't keep him locked up, not when he knew that this guy could escape easily enough, and there wasn't a crime in place now that Raven was alive again, so he supposed that he had to let him go. Of course, the System

Your punishment and eventual release.

[He leans back against a wall, considering just locking him up here for as long as he possibly can, but he knows damn well that they need a guy like this on the situation, and he can't afford to keep prisoners, he's not a jailer he's a commander.]

If I had my own way, you'd have a bullet between your eyes as punishment, but apparently death doesn't stick here so I'm going to have to do something else.

[Shepard sighs a little bit, then shrugs, dropping his arms to his sides.] The people killed during the battles recently are coming back to life. Major Alenko, the girl you killed, and plenty more.

[Somewhat pacing to the other side of the room and back, Shepard crosses his arms again, shaking his head.] The System brought them back, plenty of them with illnesses, ailments, all kinds of things wrong with them, but after a week, they were back to normal. Kaidan had a debilitating migraine, he could barely even sit up or eat without being in agony. Then a week later, it was gone, he was back to normal. [Even if normal meant migraines on a regular basis anyway.]

So, you can't be sentenced to death. Instead, you're going to be monitored and released. I can't afford to keep you here, not if another battle comes. You'd just escape anyway.
