Sound is oddly muted, distorted; most likely the effects of stopping short at the near edge of the atmospheric envelope. Combustibles in cockpit and adjacent bridge area have caught, but majority of area exposed to open space and therefore does not have requisite oxygen for fuel. Flight Lieutenant Jeff Moreau is at the helm. OSD displays major damage in all sectors, including massive hull breaches on command level and drive core failure. Estimation: at this moment, the ship is a total loss.
Commander Shepard arrives at bridge. Hardsuit's breather system is engaged and sealed for extra-atmospheric maneuvers. Enters softlock barrier into oxygenated area. Conversation is muffled; normal communication inadvisable in immediate proximity to vacuum – short range comms still functional, then.

Flight Lieutenant Jeff Moreau and Commander Shepard begin egress to Escape Bay 004. Assistance required: instability of cockpit region coupled with Lieutenant's degenerative disability leaves high likelihood of serious injury sustained. Shouting –

Explosion in forward bridge. Coincides with postulated impact of second beam attack. Flight Lieutenant Jeff Moreau successfully enters escape shuttle. Secondary explosion results in loss of grip; Commander Shepard pushed from escape bay docking area via shockwave. Debris from explosion impacts hardsuit.

Resume.
Debris from explosion impacts hardsuit; three punctures detected. No significant bodily damage. Debris identified as grid from cockpit flooring. Shepard initiates escape bay firing sequence, floats free in 0G. Acknowledges punctures in hardsuit due to rapidly venting air supply. Ineffectual attempts to stem damage with hands. Thought unlikely due to psychological profiling, but panic readily apparent.

Shuttle 004 record continues for 03:48; consists of various distress vocalizations. Human: Male. As Flight Lieutenant Jeff Moreau is the only occupant, it can be assumed that he is the source.

Garrus flicked his visor up, then tiredly tossed it onto his bunk, dispersing the holo display into a wash of yellow-orange light that dappled the walls and ceiling of his small chamber. What was the human saying? Glutton for punishment? He'd left this vid for last, reviewing the rest of the security footage from the other recovered pods in an attempt to figure out what in blazes actually happened out there. Although the ultimate outcome hadn't changed – Shepard was dead. Running algorithms to figure out exactly how long her air would last or whether her suit would protect her from reentering the planet's atmosphere was an exercise in futility at best, in morbidity at worst. And in pain; can't forget that.
But interestingly enough, it didn't hurt. Or at least, he'd be interested if there were any spare energy to be so. There should be some sort of emotive response, at least – sorrow, loss, even anger at Joker for getting her killed with his own stupidity. But instead all that lay under his breastplate was a chill emptiness, like the cold vacuum of space that had swallowed her. Swiping a talon across his omni-tool, Garrus checked the time, then retrieved his visor from its place on the bunk. Six hours until the interment ceremony. Enough time for further review. Filter the audio, reinsert it into the video stream. See if he can get a glimpse of the aggressor ship from a different angle. Eat, maybe. Or not.
