  Summary

  A human medic chooses to be at odds with the others when it comes time for the surrender of Shanxi.
  Better to focus on the long term than the grievances of turian and human conflict, he thinks.

  He keeps everyone at a professional distance as he focuses on his work.
  There is one who proves to be an exception.

  Something not possible in any other time or place.
