Shepard: What kind of trouble?
Aria T'Loak: The local merc groups have joined forces to take him down. They've got him cornered, but it sounds like they're having trouble finishing him off. They've started hiring anybody with a gun to help them.
Shepard: Just tell me how to find him.
Aria T'Loak: The local merc groups are recruiting anyone with a gun to help them take down Archangel.
| Jacob Taylor: Sounds like that might be our ticket in.
| Miranda Lawson: That could be our way in.
| Tali'Zorah: That might be our best chance to find him.
| Samara: Perhaps we can use that to our advantage.
| Mordin Solus: Could be opportunity to get close. Need guns. Wait, no, have guns! Excellent!
| Thane Krios: Sounds like we qualify.
Aria T'Loak: They're using a private room for recruiting... just over there. I'm sure they'll sign you up.

Jonn Whitson: Hey, is this where I sign up?
Shepard: You look a little young to be freelancing as a merc.
Jonn Whitson: I'm old enough. I grew up on Omega. I know how to use a gun.
Shepard: This is it, but it's no game, kid.
Jonn Whitson: I grew up on Omega. I know how to use a gun.
| Zaeed Massani: Yeah. You know enough to get yourself killed.
| Jacob Taylor: So does Archangel.
| Miranda Lawson: You'll need to know more than that if you want to survive.
| Kasumi Goto: A five-year-old can figure out how to use a gun.
| Samara: There's more to battle than knowing how to pull a trigger.
| Mordin Solus: Don't be stupid. Dangerous work. Clear you're not suited for it.
| Grunt: He's soft and new. Dead in the first wave.
| Tali'Zorah: You'll make an easy target for Archangel.
| Shepard: This is more than a back-street brawl.

Shepard: You guys have a plan?
Salkie: A small team is waiting to infiltrate his hideout, but we need to draw Archangel's fire so they can move in.
Shepard: And that's where we come in?
Salkie: Exactly. You'll be on a distraction team. Head straight over the bridge and keep Archangel busy so the infiltration team can sneak in behind him.
Shepard: I'll get to him. Just point me at that bridge.
Salkie: I like your attitude, but we've got a plan in place. You'll be on a distraction team. Head straight over the bridge and keep Archangel busy so the infiltration team can sneak in behind him.
| Zaeed Massani: That's goddamn suicide.
| Jacob Taylor: Sounds like a suicide mission to me.
| Miranda Lawson: Sounds a bit like a suicide mission.
| Mordin Solus: Suicide. Foolishness.
| Jack: Sounds like a death trap.
| Thane Krios: A dangerous plan.
| Shepard: Freelancers get the best jobs.
Salkie: Pretty much. But you look like you can handle it. Head up to the boulevard and get to the third barricade. Talk to Sergeant Cathka. He'll tell you when to go in.
(The rest of the dialogue proceeds as normal, until the squadmate discussion at the end)
| Jacob Taylor: Well, we might have a way in, but getting out could be interesting.
| Samara: The way in will certainly be easier than the way out.
| Tali'Zorah: Getting in sounds easy enough. I'm worried about the return trip.
| Kasumi Goto: Getting in will be easy. Getting out should be fun.
| Zaeed Massani: In's gonna be easy. Out's gonna be a bitch.
| Mordin Solus: Getting in simple enough. Getting out problematic.
| Legion: Favorable development. Plan for Archangel's extraction remains vague.
| Miranda Lawson: Getting in is the easy part. Getting out is risky.
| Jack: Sounds like getting out will be more fun than getting in.
| Thane Krios: We might have a way in, but getting out could be interesting.

| Zaeed Massani: Nice. Anyone who activates that thing will get blown the hell up, friend or foe.

Shepard: Professor Mordin Solus?
(Depending on squadmates)
Mordin Solus: (To Garrus) Turian physiology resilient with simple immunobooster. Should be fine now. (To Samara) Asari. Not many here. Very susceptible. Would have been dead in days. This will take care of it. (To Grunt) Krogan cure supplemented with neural blocker to avoid blood rage reaction. Excellent. Will be fine. (To Thane) Drell. Very rare. Cure untested. Will not hurt, at least. Here. Done. Now, to greetings, human. Curious. Don't recognize you from area. Too well-armed to be refugees. No mercenary uniform. Quarantine still in effect.
(The rest of the dialogue proceeds as normal until explosion sound)
| Tali'Zorah: That sounded bad.
| Garrus Vakarian: That wasn't a good noise.
| Jacob Taylor: What the hell was that?
| Miranda Lawson: That sounded troubling.
| Kasumi Goto: I think things just got worse.
| Zaeed Massani: Damn it. Now what?
| Jack: Sounded like trouble.
| Grunt: Noise. What was it?
Mordin Solus: Vorcha have shut down environmental systems. Trying to kill everyone. Need to get power back on before district suffocates. Here, take plague cure. Also, bonus in good faith. Weapon from dead Blue Suns mercs. May come in handy against vorcha. One more thing. Daniel. One of my assistants. Went into vorcha territory. Looking for victims. Hasn't come back.

Refugee: It's not safe out on the streets for us humans. If it wasn't for this clinic... I don't even want to think about it.

Refugee: All the aliens are blaming us for this plague, but we're victims just like everyone else.
Refugee: We were lucky: we got out before the Blue Suns started killing humans on sight.
Refugee: We left everything behind: our homes, our possessions. All we have are the clothes on our back.
Refugee: We tried to help out around the clinic, but we're not doctors. We just kept getting in the way.
(After Mordin has been recruited)
Refugee: The plague may be over, but things aren't ever going back to the way they were. I can't live here anymore.
Refugee: I heard Mordin is leaving. He might have the right idea. After everything that happened, maybe it's time to move on.
