The squad waits with baited breath as the gallery whirs to life before their eyes. The galleried images are too small to study in depth, so the engineer rapidly sorts them by date received, oldeset-to-newest, and tells the datapad to display all marked images in sequence, slideshow style, with the owner's responses to each image added appropriately. Their faces, bleached white and scarred from countless hours spent behind shielded helms, are a mixture of disappointment and confusion as the first received image rises to them

They've all thought it before, said it before. They've just never heard her say it before. Even the air in the bay seems to have settled into a tomb-like stillness, as if the universe itself was observing this, the slow cracking of the strongest person any of them had ever known

This was incredibly cute. I think the back and forth competition is exactly the kind of thing that a krogan and human could get behind as a means for a relationship. And they settled on a name, all is good.
