I know what you did.

Wrex.

Shepard blinked, and reread the message on the console. Just what the hell was that supposed to mean? He sighed, before going sleep for a nap. Killing reapers was hard work, and the one on Rannoch had proved that.

A few hours later, EDI's voice came from the speakers. "We have arrived at the Citadel Commander."

"Oh joy." With a grunt, he shrugged on his leather jacket and pulled on his boots, shuffling towards the door. Tevos wanted to speak with him and the Commander hurried down the halls to her office. Coming back, he felt the beginnings of a migraine. A beacon on Thessia? And the Asari had been hiding the damn thing this whole time? He really, really, hated politicians. He came to the door leading to the Normandy and found a big, and disgruntled looking, krogan.

"Shepard." Wrex rumbled. He scratched his chin.

"Wrex? What's up? Problems on Tuchunka?" Shepard asked, hoping that wasn't the case. He had enough on his plate right now. Wrex stepped towards the human.

"I know what you did." Raising his Omni-tool, Wrex tapped a button and Dalatrass Linron's voice began to play.

"We can provide you our very best scientists to build the Crucible, and the full support of our fleets."

"If I sabotage the cure?"

"Think about it Commander, the choice is yours." Wrex shut the recording off, and lowered his arm. Red eyes stared at Shepard's blue ones.

"What's all this about Wre- AK!" The krogan's muscled arms wrapped Shepard up in a mighty bear hug. "Can't . . . brea' Wrex, pu' me dow'." Shepard feebly rapped his forehead against Wrex's brow plate. After a few more seconds, Wrex set him down, and Shepard took a huge gulp of air.

"Baraka made me do that." Wrex rumbled. "She spent a week looking up how you humans cared about each other." Shepard sucked more air.

"Jesus Wrex, I need these ribs to last me a while." Shepard leaned against the railing. "Where'd you get that anyway?"

"Mordin wasn't my only source in the STG." The krogan grinned. "Wreav was the stupid brother, not me." They both chuckled. "Come on Shepard, let's get shit-faced one more time before the big throw down with those Reaper bastards."

"That's the best idea I've heard all day."
