[After moving in, Mordin is attempting to set up a new lab in whatever game he's been sent to.]

Primitive technology. Nothing resembling standard omni-tool interface. No high resolution scanners. No synthesizer.

[sigh]

Will have to make do.

[Things went poorly recently last time you were working with Mordin, especially for the Salarian himself. Some sort of disastrous adventure and personal tragedy. You were going to go cheer him up, but he seems in oddly high spirits.]

Ah, hello. How can I help?

[Mordin seems nervous, though its hard to tell.]

Glad I caught you. Something about past you should know. Need to clear the air.

Regret nothing. Every action I made was necessary, just distasteful. Maintained genetic plague on a sentient species that kept their population in check.

...And why was such a means necessary?

Birth rates evolved to maintain species through incredibly hostile environment. Krogan could flourish and spread on nearly any other world. Without genophage, likelihood of Krogan population explosion combined with incredibly violent, territorial impulses, would have led to galactic war with death rate in trillions.

This way, population maintained to pre-industrial levels. Much safer for everyone.
