"Aegohr, Mannovar, and Jaeto. They were the initial settlements on our first three colony worlds. They are at the heart of Salarian territory to this day. These names will remind my men what they are fighting for. They must have a personal stake in the fight if we are to have any chance of success."
Captain Kirrahe, Salarian Captain, before decoy assault on heavily guarded facility on planet Virmire, Mass Effect, 2007
"There's some kind of energy field emanating from the ship [Sovereign]. It changes thought patterns. Over time -- days, maybe a week -- it weakens your will. You become easier to manipulate and control. But it's a degenerative condition. There's a balance between control and usefulness. The less freedom a subject maintains, the less capable it becomes."
Rana Thanoptis, Ansari neurospecialist, commenting on Sovereign's mind control (referred to in the game as "Indoctrination"), Mass Effect, 2007
"The more control Sovereign exerts, the less capable the subject becomes."
Seran Anterius, Taurian intergalactic rogue agent, Mass Effect, 2007
"[The] transformation from ally to servant can be subtle."
