(Hate to break it to you, Pidge, but you're descended from a long line of organisms who were too badass to die, and too ruthless to step aside and let someone else win. Life's about give and take-- you want nice?)
[Shepard could laugh-- it's not that the situation is funny, but it's still obscurely cute, listening to Pidge bitch about the thing that Shepard herself so often bemoaned.]
(That lady can afford to be nice, and talk about family and togetherness, because no matter who wins, the Seconds still control the Nectar.) [Assuming, as always, that the Hosts don't end up reducing this planet to ash.] (Being nice is a privilege you get for already being a winner. For everybody else, it's usually just a risk.)
