2: Ow...
1: Oh stop moaning.
2: Garrus. Every part of my body aches. Damn you, Shepard. Why did he have to let Ashley have a 'sparring match' with me?
1: What's the saying 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned'. I think he was just doing the wise thing and not putting himself in Ashley's cross hairs.
1: Even if he spent five minutes in the cargo bay laughing his head off while Ashley was hunting you down...
2: At least he has a sense of humor...
1: But alas he has not noticed the yuppy eyes that Liara gives him or worked out what 'embracing eternity' is usually associated with.
2: Should we tell him? (By the way it's puppy eyes)
1: Nah. That'll spoil the fun.
2: You've got money on Joker's betting pool haven't you?
1: Maaaybee.
2: Dare I ask about it?
1: Promise not to tell?
2: I promise
1: Right I'll copy and paste it in, though it's not entirely focused on when Shepard figures the whole thing out
Who will Shepard get with?
Ashley: 6
Liara: 9
No one: 4
Alenko: 1
2: Why is my name on the poll?
1: Joker put it on. In the discussion, he sorta informed everyone that you were bisexual... and now Chakwas is convinced you both have something more than brotherly love going on.
2: Remind me to break every single bone in his body. Though it at least explains the funny looks I've been getting off the men when in the showers.
1: Should I hold him down for you?
2: I'll manage on my own.
1: Okay. There's also another Pool.
When will Shepard realise Ash and Liara like him?
After Feros: 4 / (Nope hasn't noticed)
After Noveria: 4
Never: 2
When both of them confront him: 10
2: I hate to think what the brass' reactions would be if they saw this.
1: Hmm, the Hierarchy wouldn't be too fussed.
2: Okay, so where are we heading now. I'm not sure as I was a bit busy getting my backside handed to me.
1: Citadel for supplies but we'll be diverting to some missions Hackett's sent our way.
2: You'd think that Hackett would send someone else. We are meant to be taking down Saren and theoretically don't have time to waste.
1: At least it's good target practice, perhaps Shepard wants to get us all used to working together.
2: True... or he wants to terrorise us with his driving.
1: Mind you Shepard did say he was going to take us both out on the next mission.
2: Shoot me now. Nope hang on I'll ask Ashley to shoot me.
1: No, she'll let you suffer. We can scream like little girls together.
2: What did I do to deserve this?
1: Ashley, Hair, Gunk.
2: That's it. I'm shooting myself...
(Five days later.)
2: Hackett is a goddamn slave driver...
1: Agreed, I think dealing with that Thresher Maw was enough today.
2: Thresher Maw? That'll explain why Shepard's pale.
1: Kaidan. Is something wrong with Shepard? I mean he froze up a little when he saw the Admirals' men and when the Thresher Maw appeared.
2: You don't know?
1: Kaidan.
2: Shepard was assigned to a squad on Akuze in 2173. They were sent to investigate why the colony had gone missing.
1: Thresher Maws?
2: Yes. He's a sole survivor, Garrus. I know he's still on PTSD meds.
2: And I shouldn't have told you that...
1: Why would you know that in the first place?
2: I am the team's field medic.
1: Good point.
2: Garrus... have you seen the Commander lately? Has he done his usual after-mission checkup on you and Ash?
1: No. Last I saw him, he was going into the showers after me.
(User 2 left)
1: Kaidan?
1: Kai?
(User 2 rejoins after thirty minutes)
1: Is Shepard okay?
2: He is now. Delayed panic attack. Don't say I told you. Okay?
1: Has he threatened you with Ashley?
2: No, he asked me not to let anyone except Chakwas know. He doesn't want anyone treating him as if he's a piece of china. Understood?
1: I understand, Kai. Where to now?
2: Citadel, then right to Noveria.
1: Can Shepard make a detour at the moment?
2: No, he can't. Try asking after Noveria.
2: Why do you need a detour?
1: I'll explain when I'm ready, Kai.
2: ... okay. We'll talk when you're ready.
In my headcanon Kaidan is the team's field medic, hence would have knowledge if the Commander (or anyone else) needs meds. Also that the crew and squad would get a bit annoyed at all the side quests.
Question for my loyal readers (well two), since there has to be some out there, I know since I've been checking the stats.
1) Who should Shepard get with Liara or Ashley? (I'll put a poll up)
2) Should I do snippets on the aftermath of certain other missions? (e.g Cerberus base, Tali & Wrex's loyalty mission,) To help flesh this out a bit?
