Weird and Wonderful
Just as the firefight came to a finish, a Cerberus operative shot a dart at me, hitting my neck. I hissed with pain at the sting, biting my lower lip. Garrus killed the man before he was able to run away, and then headed back towards Kaidan and I.
"Are you all right, Shepard?" Garrus called.
"What the hell is that?" Kaidan asked incredulously, picking the dart up to examine it. "This looks like nothing I've ever seen before."
I shrugged, rubbing my neck. "Get it to Mordin. I'm sure it's nothing, but better safe than sorry."
As the doors hissed closed behind me, a long shriek of pain escaped my throat and I fell to my knees. My neck felt like it was being corroded by acid, running quickly through my veins.
"EDI…" I managed to choke out, tears blurring my vision. "I need Chakwas and M-M-Mordin. Now…"
EDI did not respond, but in a matter of minutes Chakwas and Mordin rushed through the door, followed by two nurses, lugging medical equipment behind them. The nurses lifted me up as I thrashed in their arms, laying me out on the hard as rock bed and tied my wrists and ankles to it.
As the nurses began setting up the equipment and Chakwas tried to get off my armor, Mordin lifted the dart from his pocket and laid it out in his hand, frowning.
"Professor?" Chakwas called, stroking Shepard's hair as she began to lose consciousness, shivering. "What is that?"
"Don't know. Possibly poison. Fast. May be fatal. Must run tests," he replied solemnly, leaving the room without another word. Chakwas looked back down at me, finally going limp with exhaustion. The nurses began to hook me into the machine, their faces like stone.
"Get better, Shepard," was the last thing I heard before losing consciousness.
