For the batter percentage asks!
90%. Your character's car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. What do they do?
Now I'll have to figure out which characters I could see driving a cars.
I could see Kalro driving, in an au or something.
Kalro pulled over, his car was making noises a car shouldn't make.
He walked around the car, but didn't notice anything odd.
Even though he knew nothing of cars, he popped open the trunk. Nothing looked obviously wrong, Kalro closed the hood, and went back into the car and tried to start it. It didn't start.
He pulled out his phone to call Jasp.
Once Kalro opened his phone app, the "Less Than 10% Battery Remaining" notification popped up. Kalro put the phone into low battery mode.
The phone died just after Kalro called Jasp.
Kalro waited by his car. He ventured into the forest, found some cool sticks, but kept returning to his car.
Eventually, someone passing by in their pickup stopped.
"Hey, do you want a ride to town? Or are you waiting for the tow truck?" the woman said.
"I haven't called a tow truck; my phone died. A ride to town would be nice."
Kalro got into the truck.
"So, what brings you out here? I don't think I recognize you."
"I'm visiting my uncle, Ralatchi."
"Now I'm less worried about the car. I'm sure Ralatchi could get you a new one if needed."
"I was hoping my friend would be able to teach me how to fix it. But yeah, Ralatchi will make sure I get home alright when the summer is over."

also love the way that the AI in this series very clearly operate on different levels than the humans. every time we get two of them in a room together, so to speak, there's this immense sense of being dwarfed intellectually and. well i don't know if culturally is the way to put it but sort of? they have such an oblique way of interacting at times and it scratches this particular itch in my brain when it comes to Excellent Artificial Intelligence Writing. i Know i couldn't follow FUTURE'S games and i Know i'd feel pretty small being talked at by OCEAN and i double know that SPEAKER feels like a liaison and by far the most comforting presence and it's it's by function and design...
and just the sense of scale presented in solely audio form no less!!!!!! showstopping

A survivor of Akuze Shepard having to deal with so many thresher maws throughout the trilogy is so funny
Shepard, lured by a fake distress signal only to come across a thresher maw nest: are you fucking kidding me
Shepard having to kill a thresher maw as part of Grunt's rite of passage: are you fucking kidding me
Shepard luring Kalros, mother of all thresher maws, to attack a reaper: are you FUCKING KIDDING ME
