Author's Note: Next chapter is the Epilogue. Don't ask me how I wrote this so fast. I have NO IDEA HOW. I've been hyperactively creative lately.
I think I've found my niche in novellas (or just-shorter-than-novellas) - they're long enough for me to make them interesting, but short enough that I don't get overwhelmed. Once I finish it, I'm highly unlikely to write a story as long as Envirosuits and Doobies ever again. It just straight up overwhelms me.

The Citadel Massacre (everyone still called it the Citadel out of defiance) was meant to be a lesson, and it was a lesson learned.
There was NOTHING they could do to stop the quarians. If they tried, millions would instantly die. It was horrible. It was a disgusting existence.
But it was the way things had to be, and now everyone knew it.

My username is "SympathyForTheQuarians" for a reason. I LOVE giving them power.
Review please!
