* SpitTake: Happens to Shepard twice during ''Dark Witness.'' The first is when Garrus invokes it by waiting for Shepard to get a glass of water before mentioning that the ''Orizaba'' will be at the Citadel soon. The second is when Hannah Shepard mentions that due to the incident of some thugs nearly killing her and Tali, she can skip straight to asking Shepard awkward questions about his sex life (right when he has a cup of '''hot''' coffee). Shepard Lampshades that he ''really'' needs to keep liquids away from himself when others are talking to him.
