Rahna was nowhere to be found. Shepard had searched for her in the spare time she had before she was supposed to head off to training. She figured they'd just meet up later, but something kept nagging at her about her missing photo. Shepard had started walking down the hallway that her nav point had led her too. The harmonious sound of her blipping omni-tool had gotten increasingly annoying in the passing minutes. She'd been walking for it seemed like forever and never seemed to near the end. She approached a wide opening and what appeared to be an elevator hidden in an enclave at the end of the hall, which the nav point led her too. Shepard continued to follow it willing the beeping out of her mind silently wishing omni-tools still had mute buttons.

"Hey there you are." Kaidan said sprinting up to her.

"Are you flirting with me?" She smiled at him.

"Without a doubt." He mirrored her smile, but his contained a little less sarcasm.

"You ready for this?" The elevator whirred as they stepped in letting them know that it was alive.

"You're going to ask me that?" She hesitated before finishing "Well no I guess not."

"Me neither." He gave her a wry smile.

"Bring it on." She remarked as the doors opened to reveal the one turian she had never wanted to see again.

"Of course you would be one of my recruits." He snarled as he spoke watching her approach.

"Good to see you too, Commander."

"Save the remarks Pyjak."

"Ahh no wonder you're still single." Kaidan snickered at the stubborn girl's retort.

"Form up." He mumbled as the rest of the group approached.

Three girls and three boys hesitantly approached the already angered turian.

"If you're late again, I'll make sure you're off this station. Do you understand?"

The girls just nodded all except Shepard and the boys just gave a short grunt, but Kaidan's was more of a scoff. Neither of the two seemed to enjoy the Commander's company.

"I'm Commander Vyrrnus your resident torturer. You have come to me because you are what the human's call the "advanced" biotics. You may be adequate, but you will never be great or even good because you are humans and humans are weak." He paced the length of the group, not evening looking at them. "When I call your name speak, but this is the only time you get to speak, and then it's just yes sir."

"Yes, Sir." Shepard whispered to Kaidan.

"And no talking amongst yourselves." He glared at Shepard, letting the full power of his gaze rest on her.

"Alenko, Kaidan." Kaidan replied quickly to his name.

"Carson, Jane." A gruff looking girl replied with an odd grunt.

"Gregory, Naomi."

"Here" A blonde girl twirled her long ponytail in her finger watching the Commander pace.

"Lenore, Elena."

"What? Oh here." Shepard noticed the absurdly skinny girl seemed distracted by something then she caught the directionality of her gaze right toward Kaidan. Whoa she has another thing coming she thought.

"Perscova, Dimitri."

"Sir." The Russian twang echoed against the solitary word.

"Redding, Leon." He replied with a stout, deep here.

"Zane, Maxwell."

"Max, Sir." The boy who seemed to be the most awkward spoke up hurriedly.

"Now pair up you'll be running drills, starting with warp. Your targets are on the opposite wall. Do not bother me." He quickly rushed off leaving the group to decide amongst who themselves who their partners would be.

Kaidan and Shepard decided almost immediately that they would be a good group.

Leon and Naomi seemed to hit it off even as she continually twirled her hair in a very distracting manner.

Max and an angered Elena took one of the targets on either side of Kaidan and Shepard's. Elena managed to shoot Shepard numerous spiteful glances.

Which left Dimitri and Jane together, which they seemed to prefer they took the other target on Shepard's side the one close to the wall.

The next few hours consisted of mundane tasks of warping targets that did not move which bored Shepard to a whole new point.

Falling Blocks

Kaidan had been prompt when arriving to the kitchen only showering before arriving just so he might smell sweet for his enticing lady. He was just in time to see Shepard approach the door from the end of the hall she had apparently taken a shower as well her hair was clad in a damp bun atop her head.

"Wasn't expecting to see you here." She remarked sarcastically

"Ahh you know me. I like to be prompt for my supervised dish cleaning servitude." They approached the door, idly waiting for their unfortunate supervisor to appear, minutes turned into eternity.

"Well this is easier than I thought." Shepard squatted on the floor her feet growing tired as she continued to stand.

"How long has it been, Kaidan?" She glanced up at the other biotic.

"Two hours."

He opened his omni-tool and began playing some sort of game. The sound of an odd theme music danced down the corridor.

"What are you playing?"

"Tetris."

"Tetris?" Shepard asked.

"Yeah it's an old game my grandpa played."

"No no I know what it is, but I'm surprised you do. I thought I was the only person who still played it."

Kaidan stared at Shepard, appalled. He paused his game.

"You know Tetris?!" He nearly shouted with excitement and joy.

"Of course."

"I Love you." He turned away just before his face began to turn a painful red.

"What?" She had not actually heard him clearly, but by the color of his face she knew, but considered dropping the subject just in case she had misread his response to his own words.

"Ahh nothing." He continued his game.

"Alright." Shepard said "What's your high-score?" She continued as he plopped down beside her, continuing to run his long fingers across the digital keyboard.

"150,000. Yours?"

"Ahh 200,000" She grinned.

"You're lying."

"Nope." She pulled up her own omni-tool, letting the light illuminate her hazel eyes into a new shade of amber. She showed the screen to Kaidan and sure enough it read high-score 201,978.

"I'm impressed."

"Well I haven't had any scores to compare it with except the high score of 999,999 which to be honest I will never get, ever. So thanks, Kaidan."

The time seemed to pass quicker and quicker as they discussed the wonderfully complicated game of tetris. Vyrnnus never did show up and Kaidan and Shepard never did get their detention finished, but they were not inclined to go looking for the turian they more than mildly disliked. After about three hours of sitting there they walked to the cafeteria to catch a snack before heading off to bed.

The girl with the missing picture.

Rahna was asleep when Shepard walked into the room, but the question Shepard needed to ask was much more than important so Rahna's sleepy time could wait. She shook the girl vigorously.

"Mrmmff." She mumbled

"Got a question for you?"

"What time is it?" Rahna said whiping her eyes groggily.

"Late, but I have a really important question, then I'll let you sleep." Shepard sat on the corner of Rahna's bed.

"Alright."

"Have you seen one of my pictures: the one with my dad, mom, John and me?"

"The one you showed me?"

"Yeah."

"No sorry." The words pained Shepard if Rahna hadn't seen it, then what had happened to it.

"Uhh thanks, sorry about waking you." Shepard got up and headed to your bed.

"I understand. I'm sorry about your picture." Rahna turned over again, once again facing the wall it was minutes later before her the sound of her breathing slowed into sleep.

Shepard couldn't sleep she just stared into the wall tears welling in them. She'd lost the only picture she'd had of her dad with the entire family. The one from the day he died.
