User blog comment:Slowrider7/Mass Effect in real life.../@comment-4879863-20120412195142

I would like to join the Alliance, possibility getting a chance to serve aboard the Normandy SR-1 as a petty officer. Since I was a non-squad member, I did not have to get out there and dodge bullets along with Shepard. This meant I get to witness the events of Mass Effect from the relative safety on board the Normandy. Getting acquainted with Shepard and her alien allies would be my biggest pastime whenever I was off duty. I could imagine myself sharing copies of Fornax with Garrus, Wrex, Joker and whoever shared the same interest (in my mind, I could see Tali showing off her collection that even Joker was impressed). I would definitely try to befriend Liara, and tell her my old man was also an archeologist, but since I failed to follow his footstep into academia, I opted to follow my mother's into becoming a soldier.

Of course, all of the above only described my day job. What I kept hidden from everyone was the fact that I also worked for the Shadow Broker as an informant. *evil grin*
