We were ready and gear up for our mission. We would be taking a shuttle to land on the Prothean planet. On this mission the crew member coming with me were Young, Colt, Grant and Jr. Hunter and Tombstone were still behind to guard the ship also the fact they would send reports to Vega. Just in case we would take longer time on this mission.

We land and step out. This planet was dry desert hot. We couldn't not the feel the heat thank to our armor climate control. This planet had Prothean artifacts and writing inside the caves and walls. How did I know this because Liara had been here and did her videos on this subject. This was the place were she had took some Prothean artifacts back home.

I tell my crew let's move and find this so called Prothean City. The first cave we go into there was nothing but broken artifact that had been discover already. So we move out. We did this for six hour straight. We go into a small cave to take a break for one hour. The air on this planet was safe for us to breathe. We take our helmet off to drink water and some snack bars.

When I see writing on the wall causing me to say out loud "you have to be shitting me." Grant looks that me weird as I point to the wall. Colt see the writing on the wall. There is also drawing on the walls. Young light up the wall for me to see the drawing. There is a cave up on a mountain well that what the drawing shows.

I say okay guy we need to find this mountain let get out of here. We step out of the cave and we start to look around us that the mountains. Young say "I think that the mountain but I don't see a cave up there. I tell him the cave is not in view it is hidden but that our mountain. Let's get up there because it look like we our spending the night here.

They all say "What!?" I say it will be fun have you guys never gone camping. Jr say "I have never been camping. I want to go camping Commander Vamos." I laugh and say see that the spirit Jr. see guys you should be more like Jr.

Colt say "Vamos, but we didn't bring anything to spent the night here. I say "that why we need to move to find some were to spend to the night. Young knows what I am talking about. He agrees with me. He say "let's move so I can get a fire start."

We start walking up the mountain and try to find a spot so we could spend the night. Until tomorrow so we could find the cave. We find a spot were we will be spending the night. Colt agrees with me that this is the best spot. We start a fire for the night. We could take off our helmets and relax for the night. Grant say Vamos really can't believe you are making us go through with this and sleeping on the floor. I smile say "Yup, this is what I call fun. I do this back home with my friend go camping in the forest. Yeah, you may use a sleeping bag but you are sleeping on the floor." She laugh say that she gets what I mean.

Grant looks that Vamos as they sit around the fire. Vamos say they should get some sleep and she will take the first watch. Everyone laid to sleep but Grant can't sleep. She still up with Vamos. She walks up to Vamos as she say "hey Grant, you should be sleeping." Grant tells Vamos she will take second watch. Vamos smile that her.

Grant sits with her. Vamos tells Grant that she never notice the clues that Grant give her. Vamos say "Grant, you do know you could have told me sooner." Grant just looks that Vamos because she still felt dumb about the situation. Vamos tells "Grant I know you may feel dumb or stupid about how you declare your love for me."

Grant would not look that Vamos face because she felt like she was going to cry. Vamos grabs her by her chin turning Grant face so that she would look that her in the eyes. Vamos continues "Don't you ever feel dumb or stupid about anything. I know you don't want to believe me. But I promise you nothings has change." Grant start to tear up. Vamos wipe a tear with her thumb off of Grant face. Vamos hugs her friend.

Grant understands that Vamos wants her to really know that she will there the same way she has always been there for her. Grant smile back. Vamos watch was over it was Grant turn. Vamos say "I will stay up with you too." Grant and Vamos stay up talking about there friend and brothers.

Once Grant watch was over they head off to sleep. Meanwhile Colt would stay up and take third watch. Vamos and Grant go to sleep.

When we all wake up in the morning we eat a light breakfast and head off. Colt spots the cave. When we head in there was more prothean writing. I was going to have to call Liara. When I call Liara she answers. I tell her if she could help me out. She say that the writing says only the chosen one may open this door. I made a smart comment while on the video com with Liara saying "anyone here feeling the like the chosen one. Anyone?"

Liara smile I say "well, thanks. I guess there is no chosen one here. Thanks for the help Liara." We hung up. I walk up to the door and touch it. It make me throw a biotic shock to the door the color was light green. It open the door.

Colt say "I guess, you are the chosen one Vamos." We head in walking down the ally. Then we see it was a whole prothean city. This is when they get caught us. It was prothean people. They start touching Colt with a prothean stick. They start talking about on who opened the door.

My team are trying to protect me by not saying anything. I say it was me. When the touch me with Prothean stick it cause my prothean biotics to go crazy out of control. They say she is the chosen one take to Tk. Grant say "Don't take her. Please." Jr. say "I will kill all of you here if take my battle master."

They tell Grant and Jr. "we are not going to hurt your friend. She is being taken to learn how to control and understand. Our prothean tech and powers she now has. You all can come to our city. But you can't go where your friend is going." Grant ask why not. Grant is worry for Vamos.

They tell her friend is going to do training class with Tk. He will show her how to use her new prothean power without hurting herself. This would take three days. When we get to the city there was many more Prothean walking around the city. They had a big lens like thing in the roof of the cave. This cause a sun like effect so they could have light and grow thing such as food.

Vamos crew spend the three days walking around the city learning from the prothean. The learn how they lived and the things they do fun down to how they trained to fight. The prothean people were friendly and loved showing the guest the cared.

Grant couldn't wait to see Vamos again. She counted the hours and days she would see Vamos again. A prothean named Ray said to Grant "Hey Grant. You will be able to see your friend Vamos today. She is done with training and she learned fast." Grant and the rest of the team is happy about the news.

When Vamos appears Grant runs up and hugs Vamos tight telling her how much she missed her. I smile that Grant and tell her I missed her too. Jr was like "I see our battle master is back. Looking good Commander." Colt say "Hey Vamos, we should get back to our ship and report back to Vega. They might be worried about us because down here our com don't work."

This is when Tk say that no one should know about this place. I tell him that no one will know about this place. Tk say to us because its not safe for them to come out into the world. I ask why? They say the sky didn't light up the right color. So I ask "what color did the sky light up then?"

He say they sky lighted up red color and that color was not safe. I just look that him not understanding why. Tk say we can leave when we want to and that we our welcome back anytime. I thank him and we leave this Prothean city.

We walk out of the cave and head back to the ship. Once on the ship Hunter say that Vega was worried about us. I should report to him as soon as possible. I get the report ready alone with some of the Prothean tech and weapons they give me. So I call up Vega.

Vega come up on the video com. He say "Hey Vamos. Everything okay?" I say yes. I tell him that we found some weapons and tech. I tell him that I found the Prothean city with Prothean people. I told him I could not tell him were it was located on because we promised them. Vega say "Vamos, I understand. You don't have to tell me." He is happy that we found the city and got something out of it. Vega hang up.

I head to my cabin to write a message to my mom. I tell her how much I miss her, dad and my brother. I tell her how much I love them and say that I am doing fine. Hope to see them soon.

This is when Grant comes in the my cabin. I say "Hey Grant." She wants to know if I was okay and what training I did. I tell her I will show her. I learn how to active my Prothean biotic so I light up my fist neon green. Then she understood what happen back during Grunt Jr. rite of passage.

I told her they also show me the city and how they live. I tell her that I learned a lot of things and new fighting styles. She smile and say she was worried when they took me away. She say how her heart sank thinking they were going to hurt me.

I tell her we our heading back to the Citadel to give Vega they weapons and tech. Then we would head back for the last mission Vega would how ready to go before our break for two weeks.

This is when Young comes in saying "Vamos, need to help out your friend Dave." Dave was my best friend and my brother friend. We grown up together in the same neighborhood. I tell everyone to suit up in the regular N7 armor because that was the only way Dave would accept help.

Once we land we head to where Dave and other alliances soldiers were fight at. When we get close meaning my whole fighting crew. There was fire fight and Rpg all over the place. Then I spot Dave.

I could see that there was land mines in the ground. I could see them because of my helmet special mode. My team could not. I tell Tombstone to hold back Grant in case she wanted to follow me. I tell them no matter what happen to stand down and I was doing this alone.

I run toward Dave trying not to step on the mines. I yell out "Dave it me Vamos." just as I say that a rpg hit close to Dave. I was able to throw out a biotic shield towards Dave. But rocket trigger a land mine. It send us flying back Dave toward one direction and me in an other.

I hit hard against a big boulder. I could hear Grant screaming "VAMOS! VAMOS! We need to get to her. She is hurt." I say though my helmet com "I said stand down no matter what happen that is an order." I take my helmet and armor gloves off. I look to toward my stomach area. When I see a metal jam up in right lower side. I used both of my hands to pull it out.

The metal cuts my hand in the process of pulling it out. I manged to get up and walk over to Dave. He was hurt very bad. I say "Dave, I am right here. Brother." I give him my med gel. Dave gives me his dog tags saying "give them to my wife." I tell him I am getting him out of here.

I pick him up on to my back. I start walking back with Dave dog tag one hand holding it tight. Once I get close enough to my team to help. Colt grabs Dave carry's him to our ship. While Grant runs up to me with Tombstone. Once in the med bay.

I tell Dr. Lilly to work on Dave and that Young would work on me. I tell Lilly to save Dave he has a wife and kids. Grant holds me up. I tell Grant "I feel cold Grant." Grant tells me not to close my eyes. Grant grab my chin. I feel my eyes closing on me. Grant kiss me in the mouth as I close my eyes and my body shut down.

I just saw how Vamos pass out on the med bed. The right side of her face had a cut and was bleeding. When Young and I take Vamos armor off we could see she lose a lot of blood. I cut her shirt off so that we could clean her up and really see how bad it was. Young start cleaning the area. Then we see Vamos had already bruise up. Young runs a scan to check if Vamos had many more damage.

He say "Grant, I am not going to lie. She is hurt very bad and have some internal bleeding. Her back is bruise up bad too. We might have to call Andrew her brother so he can tell her mother. We need to take her to the citadel." I get scare I love Vamos not just as a friend and just thinking that I could lose her scare me. I never seen Vamos hurt like this.

Colt comes in say "I message Vega about what happen and on both of there conditions."

When we docked the medic were ready and take both Vamos and Dave. Just has we run pass by Ashley and Shepard on the way. Shepard runs with the medic by Vamos side. While Ashley asks Colt what happen then Ashley catches up with her husband. I hear Shepard say Miranda would be Vamos doctor. While Lilly would be Dave doctor.

When we get to the hospital they take Vamos and Dave. While we had to wait in the Waiting Room. Ashley talks to Shepard so he could find Vega. Then Ashley asks me "Grant, why did Vamos not have on her N9 armor on." I tell her "Vamos, didn't wear it because Dave would have not trusted her. She grow up with Dave been friends since childhood. I think she expose herself to so much danger because he has two kids. For her family and friends she would die for." Ashley looks that Grant not knowing what to say.

Ashley could not stop looking that the clock. We waited for hours when Miranda and says "Vamos, is one tough kid. She doing good beside the fact she will be very bruise up. We stopped the internal bleeding. She was holding Dave dog tags in her hand so hard her hand got cut. I think she should be waking up in one day. So she can rest. Ashley or Shepard can go see her to decide if we should contact her parents. Since Vega is still not here yet."

Shepard tell his wife to go see Vamos and he will go get Dave wife. Ashley nods. I see how my husband leaves. When Miranda tells me to follow her. I follow to Vamos room. She tell me to step inside and leaves. I step inside Vamos looked a little pale but looked better than when I first saw her.

I step closer to her and could stop thinking how could someone so young decide to face death. This also make me think about my daughter and how I would want to know if she was ever hurt. I grab Vamos hand and says softly "Vamos, I going to contact your parents. I think they would want to know you got you hurt."

Just as I finish saying it. Vamos opens her eyes and say "no, please. There is no need to worry them. If you really want you can contact my brother. He will know if he should contact my mother." I tell Vamos to relax and sleep. If I need to I would contact her brother. She fall back to sleep.

I stay in Vamos room watching over her until my husband come back. It was the morning when my husband Shepard message me saying "Dave wife was with him since last night and Vega was on his way." I step outside of Vamos room when I see Dave wife called Megan. I only knew this because I knew Dave last name was Miller.

It looked like Dave didn't make and I just think to myself how would Vamos take the news on losing a friend. It worried me because she was still hurt very bad. This is when Vega show up.
