Interupptus: John Wilson: Bio Wing, Lazarus Project
'The Shadow Broker pays well' I thought, looking at the screen. Shepard's revival was going well, I couldn't for the life of me see why the Broker himself had such a vested interest in Shepard. I mean sure she saved the Council saved a bunch of alien's lives but at what cost?
'Over 2000 humans dead in that little charade to save 3 aliens?' The whole thought made bile rise in my throat. I injected some fluid into her drip 'consider that revenge on behalf of all the human lives lost because of you' I thought as I chuckled softly to myself.
"What're you doing Wilson?" said a voice behind me, making me start a bit
"Nothing Commander, just checking on the patient's vitals" whew, that should hold her off for a little longer. 'Now just go out of the room like you normally do…' I thought
"Why is there rapid eye movement on Shepard?" damn, she still wouldn't leave
I glanced back to the screen, "She's showing signs of reacting to outside stimuli" I said, hoping to throw her off the track. "My god Miranda, she's waking up". I turned in time to see Miranda gently forcing down Shepard's hand while Shepard was shaking her head in confusion trying to sit up. Her vitals were heading into the red zone, just a little longer now…
"Dammit Wilson, give her the sedative" Miranda yelled over her shoulder at me
"But.." I hesitated, trying to stall for time
"Give her the sedative, NOW!"
I sighed to myself and promptly filled a needle with the sedative and an extra fluid that would erase my handiwork. I injected Shepard with it and she fell back asleep quickly and quietly, 'if only she'd stay that way' I thought.
"What the hell were you doing Wilson? you almost lost her" Miranda rounded on me, the sheer fury clear on her face. I have to admit, I felt satisfaction at that…I finally got the Ice Queen herself to react.
"I don't know what went wrong, Miranda" I lied "I was just checking on her vitals when she came to on her own"
"Hmmm" Miranda responded looking down at Shepard. "Run the tests again, and this time be sure they won't cause something like this to happen again" and with that she strode back out the door.
"Well Shepard…it looks like you get to live a little bit longer" I said as I pulled up information on the Secruity Mechs.
