Not a single member of her crew had wanted to get off anywhere other than the Citadel, they all knew that the Illusive Man had sent them to the slaughter, even Miranda felt betrayed and knew the only reason she was alive was because of who Commander Shepard was. They all knew that she was throwing herself into the line of fire by walking off the ship first, wearing her N7 gear. She was greeted by Captain Anderson and Councilor Undina when she walked out.
''This isn't right, she's not with Cerberous'' shouted Kelly Chambers
''They may have brought her to life but we work for her, not Cerberous'' barked Jacob
''If you want to help her, speak at her hearing'' muttered Anderson
''Give us a time and a place'' barked Garrus
''Earth in one week''
''We'll be there''
They watched as Shepard turned to say goodbye to each one of her crew members one by one, she couldn't help but laugh at Joker opening protesting about having his baby taken away from him, which had everyone laughing.
''Stay safe everyone and don't worry I'll be fine'' she half smiled knowing this was the end of the road for her.
They watched as she was escorted onto her mother's ship the Kilimanjaro, then as it took off they openly hugged and cried in each other's arms.
''Shepard wouldn't want us to be like this'' hissed Garrus
''Then what can we do?'' asked Tali
''Go to earth in seven days to testify at her trial'' said Garrus
''Count me in'' smiled Tali
''Me too'' said Jacob, ''I owe her one''
''Now that's what I'm talking about, I say we should get some drinks'' said Joker who was clearly hobbling after kicking a wheelchair
''Let me help you'' said Kelly
''Thanks'' half smiled Joker as he draped an arm over her shoulders
''I owe that crazy bitch a lot and I'll be damned if she's going to pay for someone else's fuck up'' said Jack as she turned to face Miranda
''You do know if I help her the Illusive man will come for me'' sighed Miranda
''Yeah but we owe Shepard everything'' sighed Jacob
''I know we do'' sighed Miranda
''So your in?'' he asked
''Why else do you think I back up all of my files?'' smiled Miranda as she flashed everyone a flash drive
''So the cheerleader can finally see that Cerberous are dicks'' smiled Joker as she raised her hands
''I don't like being betrayed and the Illusive Man made me believe I was invaluable''
''If we're going to pull this off we need to get everyone she has ever worked with on our side'' smiled Kaidan as he appeared behind the crates
''You had better give me a damn good reason why I shouldn't knock your teeth out right now'' hissed Garrus
''I can explain'' said Liara as she appeared and made a point to stand between Garrus and Kaidan
''Make it quick'' barked Garrus
''Major Alenko knows everything, every report that passed through the shadow broker, I passed to him'' she smiled
''I get it I was an dick towards her at Horizon, but I still love her''
''You should let Garrus punch him, trust me it'll make the big guy feel better'' said Joker as he leaned against Kelly Chambers
''Better Garrus than me'' smiled Wrex
''Looks like the gang is back together'' smiled Joker
''Yeah and there's only one person who can get a Taurian and a Krogan to be friends'' smiled Liara
''Brother in arms you mean'' smiled Garrus and he shook Wrex's hand
''And that's Shepard'' said everyone who was on the original Normany
''Come on first round is on me'' smiled Alenko
''Damn straight, you owe me a beer'' barked Joker
''No, I think the Illusive man can pay for this don't you?'' smiled Miranda
''You didn't'' said Kelly
''What can I say, don't betray someone who can access everything within the network and expect her to be pleased when you attempt to kill her'' smiled Miranda
''That's more like the Miranda I know'' smiled Jacob
