Chapter 6: Miranda

Miranda Lawson typed into her omni-tool as she took notes on her newest patient. Species: HumanMale: 32. 245 pounds. 6.5 feet tall. Name: ... she looked at the reading of his biometric chip. Lawrance Jones. Her fingers stopped typing as she heard a groan from him and sighed knowing he was more than likely in the worst possible pain because they were out of morphine. Status: Alive. Injuries include: broken femur bone, broken tibia, fractured clavicle, four fractured ribs, broken collar bone and fractured skull. she sighed as she rubbed the bridge of her nose and stood up from the young man's bedside. Her eyes scanned the makeshift medical facility they were in. It was originally a clothing store next the a pharmacy in a mall. It was filled with injured or dying. Her heart clenched as she thought of her sister Oriana. She'd tried getting through to her, but comms in system were still down. She'd heard rumors that the relay to and out of the system was completely destroyed. Geth were all deactivated worldwide from the latest rumor shed heard. Then she'd gotten word the Faith was MIA. Shepard, don't make me have to resurrect you again just to kick your butt for dying once more. She walked over to an asari woman who laid on a bed made out of clothes. Bending down she scanned her. No lifesigns were found. Picking up a shirt she laid it over her face and moved on to the next person.

Walking out of the department store turned hospital Miranda walked out into the streets and found the sky still dark. Looking at her omni-tool she found it read 11:46 a.m. She groaned as she realized she'd worked throughout the night, but what was worse was the sky hadn't returned to normal. There must be millions of fires going on right now. If these fires aren't contained soon, Earth may be forced to go through a mini ice age. She wiped her brow. "This isn't good. Not at all."

"So you've noticed it too." Turning her heard towards the voice she found Victus standing there with his head turned towards the sky. "Earth is in the same danger that Palaven is in." He sighed sadly. "If this keeps up your world will start the beginning stages of an ice age."

"I know." She sighed as her head began to pound. "That's not the only things that could happen soon if these fires aren't put out." The turian leader looked at her with a raise brow. "If the fires aren't put out zoo, the gaseous air will begin breaking down our atmosphere making living on Earth impossible for those with breathing problems." Sighing once more she rolled her neck and shoulders. "I need to speak to Hatchet."

"Hm." Victus grunted in agreement. "Have you seen or heard from Shepard?" Miranda looked away, not able to give him the truth."I see." He looked from her to the sky. "Once you are done here come find me." He then turned away from her and walked away in the proud gate he walked in.

Looking behind herself she saw another ambulance drive up with three people inside. She felt her willpower begin to fade. I truly wish I could walk away. she walked back into the mall and back into taking the information of her patients.

Sleep came a lot easier than she thought it would. The biotic slept for what seemed only minutes, but as she awoke and looked at her alarm, she found that she'd slept nearly six hours. Sitting up she spotted a salarian taking notes on the patients in her stead. The male was as hyper as Mordin had been. Her heart clenched as she recalled Mordin's last moments and though she was called a cold hearted notch by most, the truth was she could be very loving if she wanted to. She was only this way because of her father. She pushed her hands through her hair, the raven locks fell back over her face. Looking at her omni-tool once more she found that she had a message from Jack from only five minutes ago. Pressing the play button on the voicemail she listened to the message.

"Miranda, get your fuc- butt over to the following cordinants; we've found her!" The voicemail ended with a text and a series of numbers.

"Shit." Miranda cursed as she looked at the numbers and where they led. Typing in a number she waited for somebody to answer.

"Hello." came a gruff voice on the other end. The visual camera seemed to be either broken or turned off.

"Wrex, please tell me you have a shuttle?" She asked hopeful.

"Lawson." The males voice stated. "Why are you-"

"Jack found her." There was a pause on the other end before some yelling was heard. The human smirked knowing that the krogan was more than likely trying to get what she'd requested.

"I'm on my way to your position." He dropped the call. For once Miranda was thankful for Shepard's connections. If anybody could get her to the stubborn commander, it was the Morgan leader; Urgnot Wrex.

M-Angel: hmm...took me a couple of years to post this. Sorry if it's too short. Who's pov should I do next?
