[My version of Commander Shepard, who is Captain Second Rank Zhenia Pastushkova, is a polyglot. Zhenia speaks to her in Tyann'asyárriyhha learned for her sake:]
"Every time I kill, it is in your name.
Every time I watch you fight, I want to make love.
Every breath I take, it is for you.
Every time I see you, I want to write you another love poem.
Every breath of your voice, I cry at its beauty.

The refugees crying for aid, no trade, no food, no life, no hope.
I will help you help them.
I ordered you to the escape pod. You are not a soldier, but a civilian, you were never Sworn as we. But you showed ritual respect to me, though not required by custom. You did not say yes, nor did you say do I have to, nor did you say as you wish. You said aye aye. That will echo in me until my last moment.
I wept."
