[Shepard is getting better at this, at pushing her impressions at people, and so she lets the sense of amusement sit at the forefront for a long, incredulous while. She listens. Twelve years a soldier, sure, but that's not... a lot to go on.

(Commander Shepard, Alliance Navy. I enlisted in 2170, I am designated N-7 by the Interplanetary Combatives, and in 2183 I was appointed the first human-species Spectre agent in the service of the Galactic Council. As a combat biotic, my primary field of experience is in small-unit operations, and I have led hundreds of three-man missions in active combat zones. Previous to joining the Nest I was CO of the stealth frigate Normandy SR-2, and operating on various classified missions in a theater of war spanning most of the Milky Way Galaxy. Black ops. I'm also licensed to pilot atmospheric craft. Not that anyone could stop me.)

[There is a brief, almost nasty little pause.]
( And you are? )
