TIL the story behind the two war room guards in ME3

Can’t NOT notice those two guards at the war room scanner. Apparently, after the Normandy SR2 was dry docked and impounded after ME2, EDI had laid low as “just a VI” and deceived authorities into believing she could only follow commands from Joker, prompting him being given access to the ship under guard. During the initial Reaper invasion of Earth, EDI and joker escaped by EDI unlocking the docking clamps. The two guards were more than happy to have a way off Earth and made themselves useful by posting up in the new security checkpoint.
