The Doctor.
She looks so different in her armor, almost unstoppable. She is a power house of strength and what he guessed would be human beauty, he was not really sure. Garrus stares at her he, still can't believe she's alive it was like looking at a walking corpse. They made their way to the entrance of the quarantine zone, a Turian stopped them at the sealed door.
"I can't let you go in there miss." The Turian says to a another human woman who is fussing about needing to get her things. Shepard clears her throat and putts her hands on her hips and lifts her eye brow at the Turian.
"Yeah. I need to get in there." She states.
"I can't let you in there miss. Blue Suns have the whole area sealed off, and anyway the pledge kills everything." He states to her.
"Not humans, you ass hole." The other woman says.
"I need to find a Salarian doctor." Shepard says to the guard.
"Yeah. That crazy son of a bitch is in there. Apparently he is working on a cure." he says. Shepard pauses for a moment and then speaks.
"Garrus, head back to the Normandy. Tell Miranda to meet us here, I don't want you catching what ever is in there." She says not turning to look at him.
"No, Commander. I'm staying I'm, sure we will find the doctor and he can take care of me if I do catch anything. And anyway you know you would rather have me here then Miss Lawson." He says from behind her, she chuckles.
"Come on, Miranda is not-that bad..." Jacob says as if he is trying to convince even his self of the fact some what. Garrus just looks at him and shakes his head.
"Have it your way, Garrus" Shepard shrugs, although he can tell she is bothered by him coming.
"Um...I still can't let you in there." The Turian says looking confused. Shepard grabs him by his shirt and snatches him, his eyes widen with shock.
"Open the fucking door." Shepard narrows her eyes at the young Turian, she dose not have to say the same thing twice. He odds his head slowly and she lets him go.
"I'll...I'll radio them and let them know you are comin' in..." The Turian moves out of their way as the door hisses open.
There is the crackle of burning flesh, Quinn covers her nose partly as she looks around. There are a few Turian bodies laying on the ground not far from them.
"You think it's true. Commander? That humans are the only ones that don't get sick." Jacob says pulling out his pistol.
"Not sure." Shepard looks over at Garrus as if she is checking up on him.
"I'm fine." Garrus grunts, but that was a lie. He was starting to feel a little warm but he did not want to tell her that. There is a cough to the right of them, there was a dying Batarian on the ground only having the support of the wall to keep him up right. He cursed at them, spewing anti-human hate. Using his last breath to say the humans are the reason for the pledge. Shepard looms over the dieing Batarian.
"He's not going to live much longer..." Jacob says. But Shepard just looks at the Batarian as he gasps and then the light leaves his eyes.
"Why would I help a person who uses their last breath to speak hate?" She keeps walking down the street. Garrus agrees with his Commanders choice, but it's clear that Jacob is bothered by it.
A few gun shots ring out around them, mercs. The three of them make swift work taking care of the Blue Suns they came across. Garrus starts to feel a bit dizzy, he rubs his forehead only to realize he is running a fever.
'Fantastic', he thinks to him self. Just then there is a group of Blood Pack members right in their path. He can see the clinic sign just past them. 'Just a little farther, Garrus. Come on'. He tries to hold him self to get her but he can barely aim. Shepard ducks for cover right next to him she glances over at his shacking hands as he tries to aim. She lifts her gun up and takes out the merc that he was going for, a smile comes across her face as she helps him up.
They enter the clinic stopping in a back room were there is a Salarian doctor who was talking rather fast. He looks over at the three of them looking at Garrus and then looking down on his Omni-Tool, the doctor gives him and injection and says "Turian physiology resilient with simple immunobooster, should be fine now." The doctor stares at him and then scans him with the Omni-Tool again. "No, wait. Disease cured, something else? Hummm?" Mordin says with out a pause. Shepard starts to explain her mission to him and why it is important that he join.
"Mission, no must distribute cure to pledge." Mordin fusses and he walks around his work station, his hands behind his back.
"Nothing, is ever easy is it?" Shepard mumbles to her self knowing the doctor was going to need her help with distributing the cure. There is a noise as the Life Support goes down.
"You must get the Life Support fans up and running again and then instate the air born cure." Mordin says as he hands the vile that contains the cure over to Shepard.
The doctor said Vorcha would be in the area and he was right, they had taken down the Life Support system and were working for the Collectors.
"Fuck...I knew the Vorcha were stupid but to team up with the Collectors?" She said getting up the last fan.
"Collector's make us strong." Garrus said making fun of the simple minded Vorcha. Shepard and him both laughed as they made there way back to the clinic. Mordin speaks swiftly about how he as to finish up some last work and then he will met them on the Normandy.
"Welcome to the team, Mordin. I hope you are as good as they say you are." She says turning and out of the door. "Come on boys, I think we owe our self a drink or two.
"Have you been drinking again, Commander?" Miranda says as she looks over at Shepard. Shepard glances over at Garrus who twitched his mandibles and tried not to laugh. Jacob just looked away not wanting to get in the mist of their daily cat fights.
"Oh come on, Miranda! Who are you my mother?" Quinn said throwing her hands in the air. "I just had a few drinks with Garrus and Jacob for the fantastic job we did with getting Mordin. I mean we earned it."
"It is unprofessional." Miranda fussed.
"You're just mad you had to stay here and miss all the fun." Shepard laughed back. "Come on, we are docked for the night it's not like I had been drinking right before a part of the mission."
"My records indicate that Shepard's alcohol intake in the last week has been-"
"Shove it EDI!" Shepard yelled at the ships AI. Miranda shakes her head at her Commander and leaves the debriefing room in a huff.
"She's going to go tell on you." Garrus laughs as they all exit the room. Jacob heading to his normal post in the Armory, while Shepard and Garrus enter the elevator.
"She's been riding me since I got on this ship." Shepard grunts as she pulls her pony tail holder out of her hair and shakes her hair out. The smell of her shampoo wafting through the small elevator and in to Garrus's sensitive nose.
"What is that smell?" Garrus's rumbles leaning in closer to her.
"It's an artificial smell of a earth flower called lilac." She says as the elevator stops on her deck. The door opens and she steps out and turns to him and smiles.
"Night Garrus."
"Goodnight, Commander." He says right before the elevator door shuts again. Leaving her odd smell behind with him. He sniffs the air, "Lilac..."
