In many ways, Shepard reminds Goro of an Outworld warlord. She commands respect, and acts decisively when she has to, makes no apologies, and wastes no time on excuses, and does not accept them from others. She is what she is, and if that's a problem, it's not hers.
Almost a shame she isn't a Shokan.
"An...interesting solution." He replies, though he knows enough from seeing her and Garrus' memories to know what she means. "But I doubt any Reaper-Machines are about to fall out of the sky and demand our extinction." No, it's going to be war. They all want it, but they're so hung up on having the justification, the thing that makes it moral. A waste of time. The justification and morals can come after the war is won, if anyone still really cares.
"Their goals for the Singularity are simply too incompatible." He points out. "Thorne and the Free Cities will not compromise because there can be no compromise between exploitation of the monolith's power, and its destruction. And so long as even one of them is bent on their goal, Solvunn will oppose them in turn." If a compromise could be reached, it would have already been done so.
"Even if one did, any unity brought on would be short-lived. When the danger passes, they'll be at each other's throats once more. And we shall be at it's centre." And they won't take declarations of neutrality for an answer. This is the fact none of Captain Wilson's circle, none of them, seem to understand. Wanting to be left alone will not be possible when no one in power will let them.
