"Look there, dad! There is another one!" said the young female Krogan, running on the beach. "Go get them, Mordin! Eh, she has a good eye in seeing details..." said a male Krogan. "She has your temperament, Wrex" said to him another female, older then the little one. "She's our daughter, Bakara. She took the best from both of us"; "You really think your temper is a good thing?". They were interrupted by their daughter who yelled them "I found a very colorful one!". Wrex smiled "If only Shepard and Mordin could be here to see this...". "They both gave their life to allow us to have a better future" said Bakara.
The three of them were on a beach on Miami, back on Earth, five years after the "Reaper battle", as everyone called the final battle when the Crucible was used to defeat the Reaper, who retreated in the dark space. Wrex, Bakara and their young daughter Mordin went on Earth to fulfill one of Mordin (the Salarian one) wishes.
After some more hours on the beach, the three Krogan headed towards the city. While they were walking, the crow opened for let them pass. A four years old kid saw them and asked his mother "Mom, what are them?"; "They're Krogan. They helped saving the galaxy" answered his Mom. Wrex smiled.
While walking, Bakara bean to talk about the possibilities of new krogan generations. "We should let our young ones follow the path they want to. We can't be stuck only in the ways of battle"; "Of course" replied Wrex "but we have to keep a little of tradition. So, all the kids are going to learn how to fight. After that, they can be even scientist if they wish to". "Do you think that Doc will like these?" asked Mordin, looking into the bag she was carrying; "Well, he said to bring him some, and we took a lot" answered her mother "but I think he will like the big ones: more material". The young Krogan smiled, happily.
Young Mordin was the first Krogan to be born without the Genophage. She was still very little, but her parents wanted to take her with them in this little travel. They told her that it was to celebrate the memory of the hero from who her name came. Wrex and Bakara told her countless times the story of how Mordin sacrificed himself to end the Genophage and save the Krogan race.
After half an hour, the three reached a small building. It was a laboratory, and inside it there was a Salarian: Mordin's nephew. When the three Krogan entered, he greeted them happily. "You're back. The bag seems full. That's good. Many exemplars for the tests. A pleasure to do them. Looking forward to it. Glad you asked me" the Salarian stopped for a second, then added "Someone else might have gotten it wrong". "You the same as Mordin was" said Wrex. "I'm flattered, but I'm not even half as intelligent as him. Don't have the same courage, either." the Salarian answered "But we waited long enough. Would like to begin immediately. Can I?"; "Go on" answered Bakara "We will go get something to eat for everybody". Wrex immediately asked "Can we buy some of those fried fishes? I love them".
"Can I stay here and help Doc?" asked Mordin. "If that's okay with him..." replied Wrex. "Would like that, actually. But need to clean her. Can't bring outside bacteria in my lab. This way, please."
After that Mordin was cleaned, she and the scientist opened her bag and took out what she collected on the beach. "When I'm older, I want to be a scientist just as you and the hero Mordin" said Mordin. The Salarian smiled, and emptied the bag on the desk. "Now" he said, looking at the material "which seashell should we begin the tests with?"
Goodbye, Mordin
