I had to put odd spaces and remove the at symbol in the email addresses in order for them to show on FanFiciction. So that's why they all look wonky. (They're fine on AO3.)

Hey Tali,
I hope this reaches you. Does your email change if you get a new ship name? Now I'm really wishing I had asked. I finally set up a secure channel at my new place. Things are shaping up here. The Citadel didn't work out, I'm sure you've heard. But the council is denying the reaper threat. So, screw them right?
Believe it or not, I'm a freelance ass kicker in the Terminus Systems. It's pretty rewarding work. I killed two guys with one shot last week. Wish you could've seen it!
Shoot me an update sometime,
Garrus

Hi Liara,
How have you been? We never got to say goodbye. Hope you're doing alright. I wound up leaving the Citadel too. So, I guess you had the right idea.
Hit me up sometime,

Kaiden,
How are things shaking these days? Are you still with the Alliance? I left Citadel Space after what those assholes did. Let me know if you plan on heading to the Terminus Systems sometime. Maybe we can grab a beer.
Garrus
Garrus hesitated. Should he try writing Wrex? Would the old krogan even want to hear from him? Did Tuchanka have the extranet? Wrex made it sound like a world stuck in ancient times where many dwellings didn't even have power. Either way, what harm could possibly come from contacting him?

Hey Wrex,
Have you been longing for your favorite turian? Life just not the same without me?
How are things on Tuchanka? I don't know what the news situation is there, but the citadel wound up denying that the reapers exist. So, I quit and left for the Terminus Systems. I'm doing a lot of odd jobs, mostly mercenary-type work. It's all very scandalous. I haven't heard from anyone else on the team. Have you?
Garrus
Garrus closed his omni-tool and let himself sink into the couch. This place was beginning to feel like home, certainly. The Butlers and Ripper were his people. But he missed The Normandy, her crew, and Shepard terribly.
He had been hoping to acquire more intel regarding the slave trade by now. There were plenty that needed liberation in Omega's eezo mines. However, he wasn't insane. Taking on Aria T'loak was off the table. Besides, if his information was correct, every miner on Omega had sold themselves into slavery to work off their debts. The asari prettied it up by calling it 'indentured servitude' but at least the slaves had landed themselves in that situation unlike Brian or Jane.
His omni-tool began chiming. Garrus jumped, hoping for a reply from one of his former team members. Yet, when he answered the face of the brown and white salarian doctor filled his screen.
"Archangel?"
"Yes? Wait, how did you get this number?"
"Doesn't matter! Your batarian friend asked me to initiate contact. He wants to help."
"With what?"
The salarian blinked, clearly surprised by the question. "With mission of course. No time. Come to clinic."
"Look, I'm not even sure how you got my number…."
"Suspicious. Good. Keeps you alive! Come to clinic. You will be pleased."
The call ended and Garrus groaned. He was on watch duty for the remainder of the night, keeping an eye on the surprise entrances under their base. While he didn't fully trust the doctor, the salarian had proven useful and sympathetic to his cause. At the very least, he should hear this offer out. Although, he was taking both his men and a god-damned grenade launcher this time.
Notes: For those wondering why Garrus and Wrex's emails have the same suffix, it's just a standard email service anyone who visits the citadel can sign up for. It's not C-Sec specific. Tuchanka isn't advanced enough to bother with their own servers.
