"That's the problem. This is what my life is, of course I was going to agree." From Mindoir until now, Shepard's been a fighter, an explorer, a leader. She can bitch about wanting a quiet life all she wants, but she doesn't believe her own words. She doesn't think anyone who even sort of knows her would believe it.
Shepard has seen what is out there, what can happen to people. She's seen indoctrination up close and personal. Sure, maybe that's not the kett's thing, but it's something. It's similar. It's genetic goo building up a new person. She can't let that go.
The thumb moving across her skin soothes her, and she relaxes a bit against the wall, letting her head fall back so she can stare up at the ceiling. "A good steak and Canadian beer?"
