Hypocrites
The Cheerios fell off the spoon and into the milk with a plink as Shepard sat there mouth open in shock as she processed what her crew had just said.
"Excuse me? What-What did you just say?" Demanded Commander Artemis Shepard, Narrowing her eyes at her team-mates.
Well… more like Wrex since they'd all darted behind the Krogan. She could still see Liara's head, as she peaked out to check the Commander's expression. Finally Ashley stuck out her head, hands on Kaidan's shoulders, ready to use him as a human shield.
"Y-You can't drive the Mako anymore." She blurted out, looking very hesitant about instigating this coarse of action.
Artemis couldn't believe this. Garrus, Tali, Liara, Wrex , Ashley AND Kaidan had done this. They'd even gone and written up a petition, which was in front of her. It had their names, Adams and the other technicians names.
Out of the corner of her eye she saw Adams and Pressley hurry up to the command deck, while Dr. Chakwas muttered something about getting the Med bay ready. Then over the intercom Joker contributed his tupence.
"I told you, she wouldn't like it one but. I warned you but no!. You didn't listen to the incredibly smart and handsome man who happens to be the best pilot. Now excuse me while I arrange your funerals." The six instigators all gulped very audibly as Shepard stood up.
"All of you stop hiding behind Wrex." Soon she hand an Asari scientist, a Turian cop, a Quarian engineer, a Krogan merc and a Biotic Techie all lined up neatly. Ashley had opted to continue using Kaidan as a shield.
"Gunnery Chief Williams! Show your Face!" Yelled Shepard. Ashley came out, a lot more paler. Along with everyone else, Wrex included, Ashley looked as if she'd browned her Uniform. Hands behind her back, Shepard paced up and down the line, then stopped in front of Kaidan.
"Lieutenant Alenko, care to present your, and everyone else's, reasons as to why I am forbidden from driving the Mako?" The Biotic, quivered in fear. Shepard was using that voice again. His voice came out, a little more high pitched than normal.
"No- O-offense Commander but you aren't exactly the best driver. I mean the last time we went in the Mako, poor Tali puked in her helmet." The Quarian shuddered at the thought. " Then Liara and I ended up with whiplash…"
"It was a very mountainous world Alenko." Shepard walked around the mess table and took a sip of her coffee.
"… and half of the time the tyres weren't on the ground…" Added Garrus.
"Like I said mountainous."
"About 30ft off the ground." Remarked Ashley, a smug smile on her face.
"They were very big mountains…" Growled Shepard, leaning forward, palms on the table. Then she stood straight and headed towards the command deck, pausing to yell over her shoulder.
"All of you cargo bay in ten! Geared up!" Silence followed for a while until Wrex spoke:
"I'm scared… Somebody hold me." Garrus looked at the Krogan.
"Only if you hold me too."
"Deal." Normally the sight of Wrex and Garrus cuddling would have had the others laughing, but they too were scared.
"Maybe this wasn't a good idea, Chief." Muttered Kaidan, everyone nodded.
" Soooo…. Do I get put in all your wills?" Came a voice over the intercom.
Yes i know there are lot's of Mako driving fics out there. But this plotbunny refuses to stop, hopping around in my head!
