"I don't care what pier you come from, you don't know what a turian stealth frigate looks like," Shepard shot back, not in the least because remarkably few people even in her time could identify the Normandy by sight alone.
What powers it was more complicated; Shepard knew something of the basics, but the complex specificity of FTL engines was the primary reason for the strong division between command and engineering structures, or so Adams had assured her at no brief length. Then again, Wei Wuxian probably wasn't going to call her out on a technicality, so what did it matter?
"Eezo core," She told him, after a moment's thought, "You run a current through eezo, it changes local gravity— don't ask me why, I'm not a chemist. Big enough core, high enough voltage, you can throw anything through the air at a fraction the cost, faster than lightspeed. Before that, people used to use chemical propellants, big jets of fire."
