HERE WE GO AGAIIIIIN
Here's a few options, ganked from the last one and still as shamelessly stolen from even earlier versions.
> The Park. Man, what a nice day out. Why not enjoy it? I'm sure -- shit, yep, there's some echo monsters or whatever they're called.
> The Mall. Exactly what it says on the tin! Dodge the hordes of teenage mallrats or take part, whichever suits your tastes.
> Rainy Day. Agh, it's fucking awful out. And is it raining those vermilion things?? Now you've got an Echo to contend with on top of everything else. Find some shelter, quick!
> Arts and Crafts Fair. WILL THE KITSCH OVERWHELM YOU
> Or make up your own
Very nice! Test Strike! FABULOUS!

[Rainy day]
Grace has always kind of hated the rain - found it depressing, inconvenient, and all in all yet another inconvenience on top of the series of inconveniences that made up her life. At least today she had her umbrella.
Unfortunately, today she was also being stalked by some kind of demon cat. She'd been trying to get rid of the thing for two minutes, which was long enough for her to figure out it was neither rabid nor going to run off when whacked repeatedly with an umbrella. It probably had something to do with that weird lump on its head, maybe.
At any rate, it was getting pretty embarrassing for a woman who worked out as regularly as she did to start losing a fight with a feral cat but that's where things were headed, and the sudden throbbing headache wasn't helping...
...well, it wasn't appearing to help, although suddenly the apparently-possessed cat wasn't there anymore. It had quite suddenly flown into the building at the end of the alleyway and just sort of splattered. Grace looked down at her extended left hand and wondered what the hell had just happened.

Somehow, she had just thrown a cat - which had been attacking her - all the way down into an alley without touching it. And she had this odd sense that that had been the tactically correct course of action when something was charging her. That was bad enough without having to explain to a random passerby why it seemed like a good idea.
"Cat running around in the dumpsters, I think," she said casually, trying to wander away nonchalantly before this guy saw what was left of the poor animal in the gray rainy light.

"Christ on a cracker!" He yelped out from the gloom, followed by the metallic crash of a trash can.
ex-team-members before mordin retired?
It had been relatively sunny recently - over the past few days, maybe one cloud in the sky at best, and hot too. This rain had come basically out of nowhere, and the flash of memory of a clininc lit by stark red lights and populated by - aliens? - was enough to confirm that it was hardly regular.
So when he sees something familiar, he is somewhat relieved. And she seems to have a connection too. After all, the grue-possessed creatures don't seem to be attacking the general public yet.
"Commander? Didn't think you'd be here in Locke."
