The saviour of Earth

chapter 1: The last mission

It has been a long time since Commander Shepard and his team left Earth to build up the allies they will need to save the Earth. There is but one more mission before they take back Earth to save the galaxy to stop the reapers once and for all, but as they prepare for the next mission there is an uneasiness with Shepherd.

"Commander? admiral Hackett is on the comms" Joker says over the intercom

Shepard rolls over in the bed and rubs his eyes "thanks Joker, tell him I will be right down"

Joker responds with his smartass tone "sure thing commander, we all can't enjoy a nap in the middle of the day"

with that the intercom went silent Shepard started to think and laugh it wasn't exactly a nap he thought to himself as he looked over at Tali still asleep. Shepard was glad that her immune system was stronger now as he looked across the room at her environmental suit maybe one day she want need that damn suit, and then the world can see how beautiful she is.

as he leaned over and kissed her head "wake up beautiful"

Tali rolled over smiled while looking at Shepard "good morning, is it time for work already?"

"haha I'm afraid so the admiral is the comm can you manage without me while I go talk to him?" Shepherd ask while getting out of bed

Tali smirked "oh...well I guess I can, I will see you later"

Shepard leaned over and kissed his quarian girlfriend. Then he got up and dressed then went down to talk with the admiral, as Shepard rode the elevator down his mind wandered to the nightmares he has been having about that child on Earth they are getting worse. he is snapped back to reality when the buzzer goes off showing he is at the command deck. He walks off the elevator and towards the comm room.

Shepard arrives at the hologram comm unit "Joker, patch Hackett though"

the hologram buzz up and the image of Hackett come though "Shepard! we got a problem"

Shepard shook his head "when do we ever not have a problem, what is it?"

Hackett typed something up " we are miss a part to the crucible and the team we sent to retrieve it is no longer responding to the comms. we need you and your team to go get it and save them before we can launch the final assault"

Shepard looked down "send me the coordinates we are on it"
