humans 👏🏽 are 👏🏽 the 👏🏽 dogs 👏🏽 in 👏🏽 Ashley’s 👏🏽 bear 👏🏽 and 👏🏽 dog 👏🏽 scenario 👏🏽

here’s the proof

ASHLEY: As noble as the Council members seem now, if their backs are against the wall, they’ll abandon us.

SHEPARD: The Council’s had a grudge against us since the First Contact War.

ASHLEY: I don’t think it’s a grudge. I think it’s – Look. If you’re fighting a bear, and the only way for you to survive is to sic your dog on it and run, you’ll do it. As much as you love your dog, it isn’t human. It’s not racism. Not really. Members of their species will always be more important to them than humans are.

more proof (really undeniable here)

ASHLEY: But hey, once we save the galaxy, maybe the Alliance will get its act together. Start acting like an actual government.

SHEPARD: The Alliance isn’t perfect, but it does well enough.

ASHLEY: Have to disagree with you there, skipper. Giving aliens the run of our most advanced ship? Kowtowing to the Council?

SHEPARD: We haven’t been out here long, Ash. Once humanity has its space legs, we can start asserting ourselves.

ASHLEY: How can you say that, given everything we’ve seen out here? They’re already acting like Saren is our problem. Already siccing us on the bear.
