[There's very little preamble before the network gets an earful of the distinctive, raspy tones of a certain ex-cop. Guy sounds like he smokes his cigarettes and eats them too. He also doesn't sound exactly comfortable to be speaking on the network, but anyone who's met him in person in the past few days knows that that forced impassivity is kind of his thing.]
I'm looking for someone who can work with cybernetics. Some know-how with computers or engineering would probably help, but I figure some of that comes with the territory. [A pause, and then:] Discretion preferred.
[The way he says it, one kind of gets the sense that he'd gladly find a way to make even the most indiscreet person suddenly learn the meaning of patient confidentiality– but it's just as easy to believe that that's just the way he talks.
There's another longer pause and then, at length, he adds:] I'd also be interested in speaking to anyone who can talk about the crewman we've got in the hold.
[Spooky, scary, skeleton-like – you've probably heard of Ploiatos. Adam certainly has, and (being the security-minded guy he is) he'd love to know what having a literal skeleton in the closet entails.
And since Adam Jensen's never exactly been known for ending conversations gracefully, that's where he chooses to cut the message off.
Certainly, no one can say he isn't to-the-point.]

[Cyberneticists– not aliens. Though once he sees Garrus in person, he'll probably append that part to the list of things he hadn't expected. Good thing he's got Thane to go off of as a basis of comparison!]
Probably looking at a diagnostic to start. If I'm being honest, I'm not really sure what I need done either. It's– kind of a long story.
[Not one Adam's unwilling to tell if asked to (albeit a version leaving out pretty much all the most interesting bits) but he's clearly not forthcoming about much at all.]

Somehow I doubt the tech you're outfitted with is exactly like the kind I'm used to. [ Different worlds! Who knows what's out there. ] But it can't be too different -- I work with everything, weapons, armor, ship armaments. Jack-of-all-trades, master of all of them.
[ There's some humor in that boast, but it's clear his confidence is perfectly genuine. ]
If you think I'll be of any help, I'd be happy to take a look. Wouldn't mind hearing that long story, either.

In fact, it kind of seems like there'd been a lot of claims he hadn't been able to refuse – again, he'd got a lot more response than expected. Last time he'd had this much attention, he'd still been an in-patient.
The irony's audible in his voice when he adds:] Looking at my schedule, I can probably pencil you in for sometime in the next couple of hours. You might be getting the abridged version of that story, though.
