T'soni, Liara

I've been busy, Shepard.

This is the first time in weeks that I've just... stopped.

I know, I should have rested, taken time. But I couldn't. There really has been so much to do.

I'm still working as the Shadow Broker. But I've got all my assets working as part of the rebuilding.

But everything I'm doing just feels empty, without you there, here.

We spent so long trying to reach this day. I just wish you could be part of the aftermath.

I, we've set up a new organization – the "Shepard Foundation". An unoriginal name, perhaps. Joker wanted to call it "the flock", but I thought...

It's dedicated to upholding close ties and diplomacy within the galactic community. There are representatives from every race. Well, nearly every. I don't think the Yahg are quite ready yet. I think it may even end up running everything for the foreseeable future – there hasn't really been any substantial progress on electing a new Council.

Sometimes though, I do stop, just for a moment. And watch.

I wish you could see this, Shepard. Turians and Humans and Asari, Salarians and the Krogan – all working together to rebuild what we've lost. earth's finest, but soon it will be Palaven.

Thessia, one day.

I wish you could have seen my home in better days.

Yours is quite wonderful, even now.

I miss you, Shepard.

We won, but I lost my best friend.

Try as I might, I just can't process this, any of this, as a true victory.

I have... I should go. I'll come again soon. This was good, for me.


A/N: Everyone's favourite Asari Archaeologist has her say. We've come a long way since clipping eyelids and twitchy eyes.

I quite like this one, and hope you will too. Grunt will complete this set of four, and should be up today or tomorrow. Meanwhile, Zaeed, Kasumi, Ashley and Miranda are the current poll choices on my profile, so go vote up whoever you want to see next.

Thanks to the increasing numbers of followers and favouriters (not even a word). Don't forget to review. If you don't I'll just write 400 pages of Udina's personal diary. Don't think I won't. That applies to Galactic Front too.

To those of you wanting to see Joker, Anderson or any other non-squad-mate characters: As I have said in earlier Notes, we will be seeing a whole host of characters in the future, but only after the squad-mates are done.

Of course, a couple of those are dead, but I'll see if I can find an alternative. I know how agitated the Thane fans can get, so stay tuned...

-Nevery.
