Journal Entry Sixty-Three Start
"The Alliance has asked that Shepard come back to Earth. To talk about her involvement with the death of the batarian Alpha Relay destruction. Shepard agreed to be brought back. She was always an Alliance girl. Shepard's higher ups wanted everyone of the Normandy's old crew to be taken off. Turns out that Shepard was also being how she put it 'Grounded'. You save a bunch of colonies and the galaxy and you get this treatment. Nothing can ever be easy. They tried to get Joker off the ship but EDI and Joker used their creativity to find a way out of it. With tricking them into believing EDI was a VI that only responded to Joker. It worked for them. So how did they react to a Quarian being on the Normandy? Well they wanted me off the ship. Wanted to send me back to the Fleet. I refused and Shepard had to be called in. It was worked out that I could be with Shepard because of a spouse clause, under conditions I be with Shepard most of the time as not to who knows what. But with me being a Quarian and it being in the height of galactic danger they looked past any marriage issues."
"What are you up to Tali?"
"Oh Shepard, well it's a journal I've been making from the start of my Pilgrimage. I've talked about so many things and at the time I didn't even know that I would be part of something so much bigger."
"Who is this meant for?"
"Oh no one really, maybe after this is all over someone will find this and know my story as well as everyone who's been involved in the Normandy's adventures. And now that you are here instead of telling people how to prepare for the Reapers we can make this similar to a prothean beacon warning people of the Reapers. If they can even communicate the same as us."
"We aren't out of the fight yet, when they need me they'll call. I can only hope that we aren't too late to prepare. But hey the advantage we have over the Reapers is spontaneity."
"From what I can gather from messages that haven't been blocked by the Alliance there are moving parts. Quarian ships are gathering toward the Perseus Veil. I fear the worst. That we are trying to reclaim our homeworld while the Reaper threat looms. But nothing with the rest of the galaxy. News was already thin as it was. You've got a lot of work ahead of you if they will want to put you in the main seat of this."
"Well I'm sure you'll take my mind off of all the pressure I'll be under...and help me put on a little pressure of my own."
"Shepard, that was so lame but I'll look past some odd things you do for the savior of the galaxy two times over now."
