Shepard shoots open in the sleeping pod sweating. He opens the pod and walks to the mess hall, stopping by his locker to grab a flask. He looks at the time and signs "Never fails 0300 as always."
He sits at the table and looks around before taking a drink, the whiskey burns as he swallows it. "Can't sleep?" He turns to see Nihlus. Shepard didn't like that Nihlus was here because he always seemed to be right behind him.
"No… what about you?" He mumbles. Nihlus seats in front of him "I guess not" he replies. Nihlus looks at Shepard " You no Shepard if you are having trouble sleeping you should talk to you medical officers."
"I'm fine...so mind your own damn business" he tells him pulling a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket. " I would if it wasn't for the drink when you do." Shepard drops the pack, "You um...you saw that?" he says
"I did every night since I came aboard...Don't worry I'm not going to tell anyone, as long as it doesn't effect the mission" Nihlus gets up and hands Shepard the cigarette and says "Just remember war takes its toll." before leaving
Citadel: Zakar ward Two days after Eden Prime
"Kealah this is where I die" She thought as Tali'zorah nar Rayya takes cover behind a dumpster in an alley. She takes a breath before she stands to fire, only to see the assassins fall dead. As a krogan in red armor walks up "Well that was boring. At least we saved the Quarian."
"My name is Tali'zorah nar Rayya, and you would do well to remember that krogan!" she hissed
The krogan laughed "you got a quad on you…" before he could finish a human walked up and glared at him the krogan shut his mouth quick. He must be important to silence a krogan she thought. As she looked at him she noticed that he was different from the human that threat her his hair was a dirty blonde, and his eyes were hazel, but the thing that stuck out was the scar that ran across his mouth and up the left side of his face. She wondered what happened to him, he was kinda cute though
"Hey you got my data?" he said, cute but rude. He walked towards her "you listening, do you have my data"
She took a step back shocked by his hostility. Shepard thought for a second great I scared her. "My name is commander Nick Shepard, I'm looking for evidence to bring down a rogue specter. Can you help me?"
Before she could answer a turian walked up "Maybe we should go to the human embassies first"
Shepard nodded " Good idea"
