University is finally done! Woohoo! All I need now is my degree in off to the real world! Hurray…


Chapter 15: Hades Dog

Six days have passed since Noveria. Six days in which the Normandy team has been doing scans across Saren's possible routes. Since the last report that Shepard sent to the Council, he was told that patrols would be sent near the Mu Relay. As if they would actually do it, thought Shepard. He was lying on his bed with a datapad beside him containing information of Anderson's recon team who were sent to the colonies were possible Thorian samples were sent.

The first planet, Nodacrux, it wasn't a colony, it was a research facility. One which was overwhelmed with Thorian creatures and only a few guards and two researchers alive, locked in a room. At first, they were able to make the creatures docile, obedient, explained a researcher. But one day they became salvage, uncontrollable. The theory behind this: maybe there was still a connection with the Thorian somehow, but after its death, that could have been the cause of their berserk state.

The second planet, Chasca, was a colony, but its fate turned out to be far worse than the research facility. The entire colony was transformed, not into the Thorian creatures, but into husks. The zombie-like machine creatures Shepard found on Eden Prime. Dragon teeth, as they would start calling the huge spikes that geth use to turn human corpses and unfortunate living victims into husks were scattered across the whole colony. One could say they were attacked by geth, but the logs on the terminals indicated Cerberus intentionally turned the inhabitants.

At the end of the datapad, there was a message from Anderson. It read as follows:

Shepard, I've sent you all the info I could gather about the colonies. Regarding the group Cerberus… I haven't been able to get any information about them. Must be a top clearance or something. I've only asked people I trust but they didn't know anything, except one person. Admiral Kahoku. I heard he was searching around. I tried to contact him but had no success. Maybe he doesn't want to get anyone involve, but you did a favor for him. Maybe he'll talk to you. I'd like to help more but got to help Udina with more political bullshit. I'll leave the rest to you, good luck.

Kahoku… why would he be searching for Cerberus? Asked Shepard to himself. Cerberus… What do they gain by doing all this? He wondered. He kept thinking about the group for a while until his stomach started growling. He turned to the table to check the time on the holographic clock. It was passed two hours off the time the ground team usually eats. Shepard walked out his quarters into the Mess Hall only to find it empty.

He walked towards the kitchen, grabbed a food tray and sat on the table. He was eating at a slow rate, thinking about everything. The search for Saren, the Reapers, the Geth, Cerberus, Tali… As he thought her name, his mind went back six days ago, when he gave her the geth data. He asked her to stay on the Normandy after all was done.

But why?

After that day, their mutual interaction would seem distanced. They would still see each other, though neither of them would start a conversation. Shepard would smile, nod, and walk away. Tali would do the same, though Shepard could only see her eyes, making him wonder what her expression was every time they saw each other, leaving him nonplussed.

Commander… Commander… Shepard!

Shepard opened his eyes. Ashley was standing in front of the dining table.

"Ashley." He said surprised.

"Well, you seem down. Mind a bit of company?" she asked.

"N-no, no," he said, extending his arm signaling Ashley to sit down. Shepard didn't notice at first but Ashley was carrying a small bottle with two small glasses. Is that alcohol?

"Thank you, sir," said Ashley, taking her seat.

Shepard nodded and took another bite of his food. After swallowing, he had to ask. "Is that alcohol?" His tone was serious but not to the point other officers would use.

Ashley looked down at the bottle in her hands. "Maybe, maybe not," she responded.

"Williams…"

"I know, I know," she said bringing her hands up once the bottle and glasses were on the table. "It's just that today's a special occasion."

Shepard raised an eyebrow. "And that occasion is…?"

"It's Armistice Day. When the First Contact War ended. My family always marks it. Since I'm the only Williams aboard, I thought I'd ask you?"

"Let's say I don't know that's alcohol. Why me?" asked Shepard genuinely intrigued. "You can't think I'm the most patriotic person on the ship."

"Maybe not. Maybe I'd rather share this with you. You ever consider that?" asked Ashley. She sounded a little curtly but Shepard knew it was her way of talking.

"Well, I'm flattered. It just seems like an odd thing to celebrate."

"In our family, it's not really a celebration. More like an obligation," Shepard had this look on his face of someone curious as to why it was an obligation. Ashley caught up. "Don't tell me you don't know about my family. My commanders always find out. It's not in my files or something?"

So it's that. "I've read your files, Williams. Lots of technical scores and a list of crap assignments," said Shepard bluntly.

"There's a reason for that list, sir."

"I know. General Williams, your grandfather."

Ashley looked away. Ready to hear the same words from her previous commanding officers. Coward. That's what your grandfather was.

"They call your grandfather a coward for surrendering," said Shepard. Ashley frowned, clenching her hands into a fist. "But I don't see it that way," Ashley's eyes widened and returned her gaze to Shepard. "He was in charge of protecting his people. He knew the constant battle would only bring more deaths. In my book, he made the right choice. If one day the only way to protect my people is to surrender, leading to my own calling me a coward, so be it. I'd rather save the ones I swore to protect than to fill my pride first. I'll even do it if cost my life," finished Shepard. The last sentence was full of determination and seriousness.

Ashley's frustration disappeared. "Commander… Shepard I… No one has ever…"

"You're a good soldier Ash. You know how you to handle yourself, those recommendations on your files are for nothing. I've personally added mine to them. Spectre recommendation. Should help you once this is all over. And… on your belief, wherever your father and grandfather are, I'm sure they're proud of you. So keep the name Williams up high," a caring smile cross his face.

Ashley smiled, her cheeks starting to turn red. "Thank you, Shepard. I will keep the name high, just as I've been doing all this time," she said with pride.

Shepard nodded. "Good," he made a small pause. "So, what do we do with the bottle now?" he said raising both of his eyebrows.

Ashley looked at the bottle. "Is there any chance for this to go off the record?" she asked, almost like a child trying to get out of its mischief.

Shepard gazed at the bottle and stood silent for a few seconds. As part of the Alliance, drinking aboard a vessel is prohibited, but as a Spectre… "All right, just for this occasion, we'll leave it off the record," Yes!, said Ashley quickly opening the bottle. "But we'll only have one drink, no more," added Shepard.

Ashley sighed. "Well, at least I get to drink, one time, but I get to drink," she said as she poured the drink on the glasses.

Shepard laughed. "There'll be more time to drink once this is over, Williams."

"That's a day I'll be waiting for then, Shepard. Here," she said passing the glass to him.

Shepard grabbed the glass and raise it above his head. "To Armistice Day."

"To Armistice Day," said Ashley clanking their drinks.


"Come on you… Bosh'tet!" cursed Tali at her terminal. "I know I did everything right. Why am I getting these results?" she asked as it was the fourth time the results weren't the ones she was expecting.

"Tali? Everything all right?" a familiar voice called her.

As she turned she saw Chief Adams with a concerned face. "Y-yes, everything is fine, sir," She responded.

Adams maintained the same face. "You sure? The past days you seemed a little disconnected. Something on your mind troubling you or is it someone from the team giving you a hard time?"

Tali raised her hands waving them while shaking her head. "N-no, no, nothing like that. Just… a little tired. The small but many missions we've done the past days plus the work here can be a little overwhelming at times but nothing to worry about," she explained.

"You work harder than anyone else here, Tali. If you feel its too much you can ask for some rest if you like. Everyone will understand. Working on the engines is tiresome on its own, add ground team missions in your off for a hard day," explained Adams. "You sure you don't want to take a break?"

"Thank you but I'll have to reject the offer. I don't want to feel like I have a special permission or something alike. I'm… fine, a good sleep tonight and I'll be back in shape," she assured.

Adam stood quiet for a moment before talking, knowing he wouldn't convince her to take a break at that moment. "If you say so. I'll leave you to your work then. Just don't overdo it, all right? That's an order."

"Yes, Chief," she answered. Adams nodded and returned to his terminal.

Stay with me…, the phrase he said a few days ago came back to her mind. She closed her eyes momentarily before shaking her head and returned to her terminal, trying one more time to get the results she needed for the day.


Later in the day, every ground team member was sitting in the conference room. The past three days Shepard decided to make a meeting to discuss Saren's possible hideouts or any information related to Cerberus. Everyone was free to share their thoughts or information they could gather on their own. If the information seemed plausible, Shepard had the last word on what to do.

"I'll send this to Anderson then, see if he can find more about it. In the meantime I sugge-"

"Message for you, Commander," interrupted Joker through the ship's comms. "An important one it seems. Just came in over a secure channel."

Shepard raised an eyebrow. "Patch it through," he ordered.

"Shepard, this is Admiral Kahoku," Kahoku? Asked Shepard to himself. "I found out who set that trap for my men. The ones killed by the thresher maw. It was a group called Cerberus," once the name Cerberus came in, everyone picked interest. "An Alliance black ops organization. Top secret, highest-level security clearance. They vanished a few years ago. Dropped right off the grid without anyone knowing where they went or what they were up to. They've gone completely rogue, Shepard. They're conducting illegal genetic experiments, trying to create some kind of super-soldier."

That would explain the Husk and Thorian creatures on the colonies.

The message continued. "I don't have any proof, but I found the coordinates for one of their research worlds. I'm uploading them with this message. They're completely out of control. Somebody needs to stop them. I've done my part. Now, it's up to you. This is…" There was a small pause. "This is probably the last you'll hear from me," the Admiral's voice changed from his serious one to a more worried one. "Cerberus is after me now. I need to disappear before they find me."

The message ended. Everyone was silent, looking towards Shepard, waiting for his orders. He brought his hand up to his chin, shifting his view away from the ground team. They used a Thresher Maw, could… could they have been the ones behind… no, no it can´t be. Too much of a coincidence. But… if they are.

"Commander?" asked Kaidan.

Shepard stood in the same position. "Joker, head to the coordinates Kahoku left for us."

"Aye, aye, sir."

"What about Saren?" asked Ashley.

Shepard slowly returned his view towards the team. "While Saren is our top priority, we don't have any leads at the time. For now, we'll focus on Cerberus. You all have read Anderson's report. It confirms what Kahoku said," explained Shepard.

"While I agree we don't have a concrete lead on Saren, shouldn't the Alliance handle this?" asked Kaidan. "They could send a larger team to sweep the place."

Shepard shifted his view once again. Maybe Kaidan's right. I'm being impulsive. The fact they used a Thresher Maw to kill the recon team is messing with me. It can't be a coincidence, but Kahoku trusted me on this one. "They could, but this was Kahoku's last order. I intend to follow it and accomplish it."

"Sorry to interrupt but," said Garrus joining the conversation, "I agree with the Commander's decision on heading for the coordinates. While your military could handle it, "he said looking towards Kaidan, "we're talking about a research world. We don't know how big their facilities might be. For situations as unknown as this one, a small infiltration team is better than a large loud one and by doing this," he made slight pause, enough to keep everyone's attention, "we can scout the facilities and depending on what we find, we can act on our own or send word to the Alliance."

And here's the turian military coming in play, thought Shepard.

"Let's not also forget the Normandy's stealth capabilities." Added Tali, also joining the conversation.

"There's your answer Lt," said Ashley, mocking Kaidan.

"It looks like it. I imagine you thought the same thing Chief?" said Kaidan keeping up with Ashley.

"O-of course I did. I just let the others figure it out," she answered.

"Or we can just bomb them and be done with it in one blow," added Wrex.

"But that would mean destroying every evidence. Surely they have information that could be useful," retorted Liara.

"You always want to blow up stuff," said Ashley.

"The Commander seems to do the same," Wrex fired back and the whole ground team started to argue with each other.

Shepard observed the whole situation, a slight smile appearing on his face. Hearing everyone talk, discuss, laugh, whatever it was, hearing all that at the same time remembered him how things were a few years back with his old team.

After losing his team, he wasn't himself for a time. People started tagging him as impulsive, cold-hearted and careless for others, always looking for opportunities to make a name in the Alliance. He would try to be in as many different places in short times whenever he could, avoiding being in a team for too long, not wanting to get attached to anyone.

Anderson was the only person who he wouldn't mind being with. After all, during his early military career, Anderson became fond of him, saying he saw a bit of himself in him. He was the person who set him straight, the one who recommended him for the N7 program, the man who made Shepard, the man he was today. A father figure. When Shepard got recruited by him for the Normandy, he couldn't refuse. Though time would come where he would request for relocation. What Shepard never expected to happen was him becoming a Spectre, command the most advanced ship and lead a mission to chase a rogue Spectre across the galaxy. All of that with a team, a team of mixed species.

And this team is sure, something special.

Special enough that in their short time knowing each other, has brought back his old self. Someone who he never thought would come back.

"All right that's enough," he said raising one of his hands. His voice was calm but loud enough for everyone to hear. "Everyone has a point, but our best course of action is just how Garrus explained. We'll head to the coordinates and approach the facilities using the Normandy stealth system," he said shifting his eyes to Tali, "scout the area," now looking at Garrus, "and from there we'll see what's best. Clear?" he finished asking looking at the rest of the team. Everyone nodded in agreement. "Be ready for when we get there. Dismissed." He said and everyone started walking out of the room.


The Normandy reached the planet marked as Binthu in the galaxy map, a planet from the Voyager Cluster, a cluster just in the outskirts of the Attican Traverse. Before deploying, Shepard ordered a planetary scan that revealed three small facilities. The team jumped from the Normandy with the Mako a few kilometers away from it to get close without tracking attention.

Scouting the first base revealed low defenses. Given they were so far out in the Attican Traverse and the secrecy they were maintaining, they wouldn't expect an attack on their facilities. The facility had two defense turrets and two guards just outside its main gates, which would be no match for the Mako's cannon. Base on this facility they assumed the rest would be partially the same and decided to act on it.

The facilities may look small from the outside, but everyone knew it could be much larger once inside, going below the ground and deep. They also knew that once they attacked the first facility, the rest would go on alert, reinforcing their defenses, not that it would do much of a difference, but anything could happen and they were ready for it.

The first facility came down quickly and so the second. As mentioned before, the outer defenses were no match for the Mako. Once inside and quick access to a terminal thanks to Tali, they were surprised to see the facility was only one level below the ground and, as expected there wasn't much of a resistance. They fought they're way through a few hallways dealing with small enemy forces who were no match for the Normandy ground team and detaining every scientist they caught, locking them the many rooms the facility had. Once the hallways were clear the final room was a lab. Terminals, scanners, tools, cabins, everything a research lab would have was there and more. In the center of the labs, there was a cell made of energy barriers. One facility had Thorian creatures while the other hold husk, confirming Anderson's and Kahoku's findings. They were eliminated and all posible data was downloaded.

The third facility was, in fact, larger and more secure than the other two. It gave the team a harder time to sweep, but their coordinated tactics, callouts, and strategies made them victorious. When they reached the lab, they were expecting to see more Thorian or husk creatures. What they weren't expecting to see was a trio of rachni.

"Rachni!? I thought Saren was the only one working on this!" exclaimed Kaidan.

"I guess Cerberus found out and wanted their own," said Garrus.

"You think they had people inside Noveria then? Asked Ashley.

"If Cerberus is willing to do these types of experiments. Noveria being out of Council Space would benefit them greatly," said Liara.

"Look!," exclaimed Tali. "Is that… a human body inside?" she asked.

Garrus got closer to the cell to get a better look. "Yeah, it looks like one, can't get a clear view with the rachni though."

"Whatever it is, let's kill these rachni and be done with it," said Wrex. "Unless you want to talk to em, Shepard," he said looking at him. Eyes narrowed.

Shepard shook his head. "Not this time, Wrex. They're all yours. Don't blast the body, though."

The serious look Wrex had on his face shifted to a wide smile. He turned to the cell and prep his shotgun. "Whenever you're ready."

"Tali, bring the barriers down," ordered Shepard.

Tali nodded. As she pressed the button and the barriers came down, without wasting a second Wrex charged straight into the rachni tackling the first with his shoulder thanks to his momentum and weight, making it fall to the ground. He then shot two rounds of his shotgun to the second one, one to the torse and the other to the face. Quickly he overloaded his shotgun letting out a fiery carnage of shot to the third killing it instantly. He returned to the one he tackled first stomping its neck with his heavy foot to keep it in the ground giving him time to pull out his sidearm for a final blow with a few shots to the head. It was a gruesome and violent display of a krogan battling its old enemy. Wrex's face and body were covered in blood. A big smile was on his face, letting out a short laugh.

"And that's how we krogan deal with the rachni you pyjaks, haha!" he shouted proudly.

"I got to admit that was quite impressive, Wrex," said Garrus, genuine amazement in his voice.

"Stick with me more often and you might learn a thing or two, Vakarian."

No one else said it, but as gruesome, violent or dangerous it was to charge alone against three rachni, the display Wrex gave was indeed impressive. One of the stories they would tell in the future.

"Commander, you might want to check the body," said Kaidan who was crouched next to it.

Everyone's attention went to Kaidan.

"Wait is that… an Alliance uniform?" asked Ashley.

"It is. And the worse part," said Kaidan. "It's this…" he said as he rolled the body to have its face revealed. "It's Admiral Kahoku, sir."

"Cerberus found him after all," said Wrex, holstering his shotgun.

"Those bastards!" shouted Ashley. "They tossed him with those things and left him to his death. Is that their way of revenge?"

"The rachni didn't kill him," assured Garrus as he inspected the body.

"What makes you say that?" asked Ashley, her tone angry.

"Look at his body and uniform, there's no burns or scratches. I see needle marks and bruises. They must have tortured him to death before tossing him like food for the rachni," He explained, no emotions in his voice. Garrus have clearly seen his fair share of similar cases.

"Goddess. I can't even imagine the pain he must have gone through," said Liara.

Shepard remained silent, hearing everyone out, observing the admirals lifeless body. A lot of thoughts were passing through his mind. Cerberus, hades dog, guardian of the gates of hell. Do they think of themselves as a guardian? A guardian of what? To humanity? Do they think they´re protecting humanity by doing… this? Experimenting on your own? Torturing your own? Killing your own? No…that's no guardian at all. Rage and anger were starting to build inside Shepard. He was so lost in thought he didn't notice everyone going silent awaiting his command.

"Commander!" exclaimed Kaidan who now was standing next to him. Shepard came back to reality, turning towards Kaidan. "Orders, sir?"

Shepard looked around the lab and then to his team. "Tell Joker to contact Anderson. Send him everything we get from here and that we need transport for the scientist. I want a scan on this place, even the other labs. I'm sure this isn't all of Cerberus resources." Ordered Shepard, his tone was now sounding more like a superior commanding officer. Before Kaidan had a chance to respond, a voice behind Shepard spoke first.

"You're right, there is more to Cerberus," said Tali from a nearby terminal.

Curious as always, thought Shepard. "What do you got?" he asked as he walked towards her.

"According to the logs on this terminal, it appears these three facilities were communicating with another base off-planet. By looking at the data they sent; reports, results, theories, requisitions, it may as well be its main headquarters," explained Tali, showing everything on screen in sync with her words.

"Can you get the coordinates of that base?" asked Shepard, though he already knew the answer.

"Already working on it," she said, her fingers running swiftly through the terminal. "And… there. A planet named… Nepheron from the Columbia System. That's… that's inside the same cluster we're currently are in!" exclaimed Tali.

"And that's our next target," said Shepard without a second thought. "Great work Tali, you never seem to disappoint me," he said looking at her with the smile she always liked, though it didn't last long as he was unsure if she was comfortable talking to him as they used to.

Tali blushed and thanked her ancestors for having a visor as he said 'You never seem to disappoint me' which faded away as Shepard looked away from her. 'I can't stay…' her words ringing on her head. Guess I did disappoint him, she thought.

"Commander, Anderson has been informed," said Kaidan.

"Thank you, Lieutenant. All right, people, we have one more base to hit, so back to Mako and on to the Normandy. On the double!" he ordered. Yes, sir! shouted the team and move out.

Bullets, smoke, explosions, shouting, dead bodies, damaged equipment, it was chaos on the main base. Security was tripled, the halls were thinner, the rooms were large with more open spaces and almost no cover, the layout of the base was built almost as a maze to confuse invaders in 3 levels underground and various traps were laid across the facility, but the Normandy's ground team manage to advance with no casualties or setbacks.

Shepard was proud and amazed by the efficiency of the team he managed to set up. A group of mixed species ranging from asari, human, krogan, turian, and quarian, all working in perfect sync with each other. Who would have thought that an asari doctor, three alliance soldiers, a krogan mercenary, one C-Sec officer and a quarian engineer would work so well together, thought Shepard as he shot down a Cerberus troop. At the moment they were holding a position, waiting for Tali to hack open a door that would lead them to the central server of the station.

"Hahahaha!" exorbitantly Wrex laugh came through everyone's helmet. "This is why I came with you, Shepard. I knew you would have entertaining battles!"

"No need to thank me!" answered Shepard. "Tell you what, for each good battle I bring you to, how about you tell me about yours?"

"It's a deal then," said Wrex as he shot his shotgun, killing a poor uncovered enemy.

"If we're doing deals, how about we make this more interesting?" intervened Garrus.

"How so?" asked Shepard.

"Let's bet for how many of these guys we can kill in the next 30 seconds. Five hundred creds for each, winner takes all. I'll start with 18," stated Garrus.

"I'm in. 23," betted Shepard.

"25!" shouted Wrex.

"20," said Kaidan joining the bet.

"H-how can you… how can you play games in a situation like this?" asked a worried Liara.

"Ignore them, Liara. That's just how men's brain works," said Ashley getting out of cover to shot back at the enemy.

"C'mon Chief! You know you want to enter our little bet. Call your number!" said Kaidan in a mocking tone, lifting two enemy troops before throwing them against the wall.

Ashley rolled her eyes, quickly ducking for cover as a trail of bullets hit the crate she was using.

"How's that door coming, Tali?" asked Shepard while shooting new incoming troops.

Tali was just a few meters behind him. "Just one more firewall and we'll be able to go through!" she answered working as fast as she could on her omni-tool. "It would be much faster if it wasn't for the whole shooting!"

"You want us to shoot quieter? Maybe ask the enemy as well?" jokingly asked Garrus.

Tali rolled her eyes, trying to ignore Garrus comment.

"Or we could drop our guns, use our fingers as weapons and make shooting noises with our mouth," added Kaidan.

"Honestly Lieutenant, how do you humans come up with all that stuff?" asked Garrus. "The thumbs-up, the rock-paper-scissors game?"

"Hey!" interrupted Ashley, "How about you two stop talking and concentrate on the enemy? Your chit chat ain't making the hold out easier!"

"It wouldn't be a Shepard mission if it was easy, we only need a few explosions and we're all set," mentioned Shepard through the comms.

Though the team was in the middle of a shooting, somehow, they couldn't stop at letting out a smile or laugh after their commander's joke.

"A few explosions?" asked Ashley, clearly in disbelief. "What about the past ones? Aren't those enough for you?" she shouted.

"I guess a few more wouldn't hurt," he answered dispensing the heat from his weapon.

When Shepard came out of his cover ready to advanced to a new position, in the very edge from his vision, he noticed a small object pass his left side. As he turned around to confirm his sighting, his eyes widened as he saw a small disk-like object getting away from him. Grenade! He shouted internally, as the explosive disk got closer to Tali, who was unaware of the danger coming towards her.

Come on… come one…, said Tali to herself as she fiddle with her omni-tool. Swoosh! She heard, the familiar sound a sliding door made when opened. Yes!

Tali move!

She heard, the familiar voice of Shepard calling her out! She turned around only to see him charging towards her. His face, almost pale, his eyes, fear? Concern? Danger?

Before she could keep thinking what was wrong with him, she heard the clamping noise of a metal object below her followed by a small beep. As she looked down, it took her a few seconds to identify the object, now beeping intensively. Her eyes widened, now knowing the threat in front of her. Move, move, move! She shouted to herself. She tried, but her body wouldn't react. It was stiff. The explosive was to close to her and about to explode that no matter what distance she could make, it would be in vain. Knowing that no effort would save her, she closed her eyes. Father… Shepard…

"Tali!" she heard again, opening her eyes only to have Shepard jump at her, making her close her eyes once again and twist sideways bracing for his impact.


Author's Note:

Hello everyone, it feels good to post another chapter, it took longer then I wanted but school had to be my number one priority. And… it still is I guess, so to say. Grad ceremony and obtain my degree (my any force help me with my thesis). But I got a bit of time for the former and quite a lot for the latter, so… I'll try to publish any chapters I can, starting with this one.

As you can see we finally get to the Cerberus arc. Yei!

I've decided to change the part were Kahoku says Cerberus disappeared "a few months ago" to "a few years ago" since I think it fits more given what they did on Akuze (Maybe still part of the Alliance back then and were able to hide their tracks idk). It just makes more sense to me for them going off-grid a lot sooner than recently (Gotta check the comics to make sure if there's any date of it).

At first, I thought about going through a lengthy description of each base, but it felt to… repetitive? I don't know, so I went with brief explanations of them and the fights. I'd say it turned out better.

I also thought about making this chapter a little longer but decided it was good enough where I left it (Was it too cliché leaving it there?).

And… that should be all for today. Thanks for the supports and favs, they keep coming, little by little, but for me its wonders! So thank you once again. Talk to you later.
