Mass Effect Shepard Rises.
Shepard walks into the med-bay as Garrus sits on the tables opening a turian snack pack, he slowly walks toward her sleeping form watching as her chest rises and fall, as his mind jumps back to his dream, he sighs and rubs his face to clear his mind, he carefully picks up her hand and gently squeezes it, he rubs his finger over her knuckles and slowly lowers her hand, he turns to leave when doctor Chakwas's office door opens and Liara steps out " oh commander coming to check up on me?" not really no more like came to see Tali he thinks "one of many people I wanted to see" he says vaguely he see's as Liara's eyes dull and her shoulders slump ever so slightly "we are headed to the citadel the council want to speak with you," he says and watches as Liara nods "understood commander" he nods and turns to leave sparing one last glance at Tali and leaves.
Upon exiting the med-bay he walks to the kitchen area and get a ration pack and joins Garrus at the mess table and tears into his food " so Garrus tell me about yourself" he asks and looks to Garrus as he licks his talon hand, "well shepard as you know I worked with C-sec following in my fathers foot steps" shepard nods "was he high up the command chain?" shepard says " yeah he was one of the best detective's, and he pushed me to follow him but I quickly found out that the higher up the chain you go the more red tape you get saddled with." Shepard looks at him while eating a ration chocolate bar "red tape?" he asks confused Garrus chuckles before replying "yeah red tape, if im chasing a suspect that's say killed someone I should be able to bring him down quickly and effectively not get saddled with rules on what I can do or cant" he think for a minute before replying "I guess can see your point although some times the rules are there for a reason, I mean if you are chasing him and decide to pull your gun out and start shooting people will panic and we both know that people do stupid things when they panic." shepard watch's as Garrus leans back and mulls over what he's said "I guess your right shepard I just get so furious when a suspect gets away" he nods "don't worry I guess now your working with a spectre you will get certain privileges." he watch's as Garrus nods and seems to jump from his seat "yeah it does but don't worry I will follow your orders shepard" Shepard nods and stand and places his now empty ration in the bin and he walks towards the elevator "I will talk to you later Garrus I need to go see the requisition officer."
After the slow elevator ride he exit the elevator and turn to the right to find the requisition officer "hey commander need any supplies?" he asks in a tired voice "yes please need the best pistol available" he says "of course commander I believe we are headed for the citadel so it should be on board by the time our business is done" Shepard nods and shake his hand "good thank you now sorry for saying but you look tired so go get some rest that's an order." he watch's as the officer snaps a salute and leaves in the elevator, Shepard looks around the cargo bay and see Wrex, he walks over "shepard" he says, Shepard raise's a brow "Wrex, so what's your story?" he ask and watch as a smile spreads Wrex's scarred face "well there was this one time the turian's tried to wipe out our race that was fun." Shepard cant tell if he's joking "they did the same to us" he replies "no its not the same they didn't trick you and then poison you with a genetic mutation." Wrex says angrily "guess your right sorry didn't mean to insult you" shepard says and hope things don't hit the shit fan "your ignorance doesn't bother me shepard" Shepard breathes out slowly "ok Wrex I will speak to you later" he says and turn and leave as he hears "shepard" he enter the elevator and hit the button for crew deck.
Shepard exit the elevator and check his Omni-tool and notice were still a few hours away from the citadel sighing he heads towards his cabin and enters, once the door closes behind him, he sits on the floor and close his eyes taking slow deep breathes as he try's to remember the prothean vision.
he sees flashes of people falling in battle the sound of metal grinding and more flashes of a person with a hand raised crying for help, he can hear machines grinding and more flashes of people burning in flames he can feel the heat of the fires, he hears a almost un natural scream as metal infuses with flesh, he see's more flashes of different machines and more screeches of metal screams sound all around me as he hears fighting see kids being torn to shreds and then blackness.
Shepard eyes shoot open and head spins he fall onto my back panting, he raise his hand to his face and wipe of the sweat that's gathered on his brow, he slowly sit up and feel as his body shakes uncontrollably, he slowly stands on shaky legs and stumble out his cabin his body moves of it on accord and he find myself in the med-bay looking at Tali's form and a peace settles over me, he walk over and collapse in the chair "hey" he snaps his head up to see two silvery eyes looking at him " hey you ok?" he ask "yes thanks to you" he rubs the back of his neck "no problem what sort of captain would I be if I left people behind" he says with a smile, he's rewarded with a small chuckle "so you have been listening to me when I ramble" he chuckles "with a voice like that hard not to" he says in a flirty manner, he watch's as her eyes go wide and her fingers wring together in a dance, before she can reply Joker voice sound out " commander one hour away from citadel." "ok I will gear up" he replies and give Tali one more look "see you later ok" he says "yeah ok be careful" he smiles at her and leave the med-bay.
