Roderick Shepard

Colonist

Sole Survivor

"I've lost enough people in my life. My family. My friends. My comrades in battle. Ashley…But no more, no more wars, no more conflicts, no more deaths, no more deaths today, this ends now..."

All this thoughts were going on through Shepard's mind while he was running to the beam. He has experienced enough deaths in his life; he couldn't just destroy the reapers at the cost of the Geth, not after Legion's sacrifice and all that he have learnt from him. He couldn't do that to his friend. And he didn't think that becoming the new leader of the reapers would do any good, he didn't think that he deserved that much power, and that, in the end, it wouldn't solve anything. Instead, now there was a chance for people to reach a true state of peace, a true chance to be happy…and a true chance for Tali to go back to her new home and live there in peace for the rest of her life. And he couldn't said no to that, he couldn't just loose the chance to change everything for the greater good, even if some people wouldn't agree with this, with forcing the change in everyone in the entire Galaxy, Shepard believed it was necesary...and the right thing to do.

And so he jumped into the beam.
