"Well, Reapers come in a lot of sizes. The small ones, Husks, those are about the size of a human," She motions for another drink and the barkeep hesitates— she repeats it, more emphatically, and he pours with a shrug, "But they get bigger. The biggest one I've personally killed was uh..."

She has to squint, trying to first remember, then convert in her head. Shepard takes a drink, to cover the gap, and then grimaces and glares at the bartender, innocently polishing the other end of the bar. This is water. How is this water? Why is this water?

"...I guess about a hundred sixty meters is... Maybe four-hundred-eighty feet? Destroyer-class Reaper, it's like a big metal bug, I guess. Arrogant fucker too. Lay there dying, trying to lecture me about how pointless my whole side of the war was," She sips her water wrathfully, plotting vengeance, "Bastard."
