CITADEL


"Spartus, why did I just see your people attack the humans, again?" Tevos hissed out as the video finished up.

The turian councilor raised his talons, "Tevos, please, you can't blame our people for this. That was a completely different universe from ours."

"Spartus is true on that regard, still, seeing this twice does start to form a rather unsettling pattern" said Valern.

Before Spartus could retort a bright light covered the room. The specters inside the room rushed over to the councilors and pulled them far away as they could. Their guns ready to fire at whatever was inside.

Once the light had finally died down, all where surprised who was standing there.

One was none other then primarch Fedorian, another one was a Quarian who wore a rather advanced suit that only an admiral would wear, the last one was ... well for a second the specters/Spartus both thought they saw something on the ground.

"Councilors?" Fedorian asked "What in the spirits happened? One minute I was in my office and the next I'm here ... wherever here is?"

As for the Quarian, the man nodded in agreement with the primarch. One minutes he was giving orders to his crew before appearing here.

"Terrible apologies primarch, unfortunately the situation is rather complicated" Tevos apologized "Oh, and you to ..."

"Admiral Rael'Zorah, councilor" Real gruffly replied.

"Well, this is long story so please be patient with us ..." said Tevos as she began explaining everything to the two.

xxx One explanation later xxx

"I find this hard to believe" said Fedorian. The idea that the citadel was transported to another dimension and was forced to watch these humans was simply absurd.

But after one glance where the space station was stopped that.

"Wait, this Quarian, did she her suit have purple clothes covering a black bodysuit?" Real asked.

"Indeed, why?"

"Personal reasons" he answered.

The asari's eyes narrowed just so slightly at the mans answer. It seemed this man had some connection to Tali, whatever it might be. For now thou, she'll keep the knowledge on the back-burner.

As the council began explain the recent events they have seen none of them, neither the specters guarding them either, saw the tiny little machine near the edges of the room's ventilation area.

It was a drone.

A geth drone

For the collective consensuses of the geth program, the knowledge of their situation was rather ... discerning. At the moment the collective was unable to access any of it's bodies save for this simple infiltration drone. No doubt in part to the entity how brought it here.

For an entity that could seemingly teleport anything/one to another dimension it was confusing why it would have such fascination to unknown species, unless said entity was a human itself. Still, with no means of solving their current predicament the geth hunkered where they were and waited for the next scene to start.

"Welp, I'm bored" Wrex declared.

"But it's only been an hour since the last video ended" said Tali. "How can you be bored already?"

"Alcohol supply running low" the krogan answered.

"Oh"

"Come on Wrex, you can't your not at least bit interested in these humans we just saw" said Garrus.

"Eh, I mean these humans faced near death with a clearly advanced foe. Kicked their asses and proceeded prosper afterward, seems to me they aren't going to take the Turians beating standing. Hell maybe they could take over Palaven, wouldn't that be a site to see" Wrex said, chuckling at the end.

"You don't think they will? I mean isn't the turian homeworld the most well guarded place in the galaxy?" Tali fretted.

"Who knows, either these humans are strong enough or not. Judging the confidence ... maybe, just maybe, they can do it" wrex replied.

"Well what about you Garrus?" she asked

"Well tali, I wouldn't say they will do without a fight. If they did, well I hope their ready to fight for each block because the we Turians aren't going without a fight" Garrus answered. "Still, it would nice to see humans not getting in a fight with us. I mean come on, two time already? That feels a bit unfair."

"True, rather odd to see once more Turian people starting attack against the humans. Fear this may be some kind of pattern, though more data will be required before any theory can be established" said Mordin.

"Well, that was something" said one asari commandos in the room.

"You tell me" muttered another.

"Girls, may I remind you that you are all on active duty?" Benezia questioned. As the matriarch received a few apologizes back.

"~sigh~ Maidens, leave them with something interesting and they'll never stop yapping about it" the matriarch sighed. "What about you liara, how was the latest showing?"

"Distasteful, if I must be cordial. But truthfully, absolutely disgusting, I cannot for any reason find why such an empire would ever commit such horrid genocide. Is their fanaticism that great it would overcome morals?" Liara spat in disgust.

"You'll be surprised little wing, but this isn't the first time something like this happened back before you were born" said Benezia softly.

Liara looked at her mother with shock, not expecting that coming from her mouth.

"It was a long time ago dear. There was a rather ... fanatical sect of hanar zealous, they had taken over a minor spaceport near the edges of council space. Normally the local governments would send someone over to take care of the issue. Sadly, an influential matriarch's daughter was on said spaceport, forcing the asari to call upon a team of commandos to take care of the issue. And on that team was, well me" Benezia began.

"You were a commando?" Liara expressed in surprised.

"Oh in my maiden days Liara, ah you should see me back them. I was a monster in combat in my golden days, ~sigh~ better then the paperwork I have to deal with now" she muttered.

"But carrying on, that mission was an eye opener. To simply put it me dear, you'll be surprised just how far people are willingly to go for their beliefs, and religion is no different. It is clear that these covenant would not see reason, and while neither I nor you know what these humans have done to survive, we can not blame them for their acts."

"Those with such fanaticism will always force other to desperate means, especially when it comes to one's very own survival" Benezia finished.

"... I ... I see" Liara replied softly. Liara always knew as a matriarch her mother was wise beyond most people, but never did she believed she would say such words.

She really didn't have a response and instead opted for silence. Now waiting for the next video to start as well as sending a small prayer in hopes the next viewing would be more kinder.

While the rest of the station's inhabits were discussing what they had just saw, with many on different sides.

On one side you had people looking at these humans as being to dangerous to be left alone, either these humans are brought into the fold of the council where they can curb the more negative traits that could threaten the council races. Or, if that was not an option ... then military force would be needed.

On another side, you had people who were more interested in seeing where these humans would go. While true the potential of damage they could do tho their civilizations was a real threat, but the main problem was that none of humans they have seen have actively attacked them or even thought about it. To them, if just respected the humans and left them alone, they'll return the same in return.

And finally you had the people who neither supported nor disagreed with the humans. To them this was merely a showing of the potential human empires that could exist, not what they will become. For these people they had no incentive to do much, only until the humans either acted for or against the council would they act.

Fortunately, neither of the sides had to argue for long till the screen once again lit up, prompting everyone to get ready for the next viewing.

"Well, that sale could've gone better" Tali sighed dejectedly. There was a sale at a local super market she always went to, unfortunately for her she made the first mistake and biggest.

Not getting their early.

"Stupid greedy matriarchs" tali grumbled as she remembered pushing and shoving some asari for the last packet of fresh fish. "I hope shepherd like this."

The young quarian couldn't help but remember the first time she meet her boyfriend. It was at the most unexpected of places, the local aquarium of all places. At first neither of them knew much about each other, but after some rather helpful (note to self get revenge at garrus and liara) attempts from her friends the two got it off.

It was rather surprising how much they had in common with each other, and since then everything just well ... clicked for the couple.

"Awww, looks like tali got a mate now" Garrus teased.

"Congratulations Miss Zorah, good to have mate while still young and fertile" Mordin applauded

"So the kids finally got a mate eh? Hopefully this is going to be interesting" Wrex commented.

"M-Mate!" she gasped. Getting a mate was the last thing on her mind, by her ancestors how would her father react to this!

xxx Citadel xxx

"Boyfriend? What in the spirits is a boyfriend?" the primarch wondered aloud.

Before anyone could answer a piece of paper appeared onto his lap, explaining him that a boyfriend was potential mate.

"M-MATE!" Real yelled. Fatherly anger rushed into his veins at the mere idea his little sweet princess would have a mate, potential or not, this early.

None of the other dared to reply back to the smoldering quarian, either in understanding what the father was going through or merely did not care for dealing with the issue.

The geth merely recorded the viewing as well as acknowledging the strong feelings admiral Real was feeling for his daughter.


Sadly, that train of thought ended abruptly when she bumped into someone.

"Oi, know where you going brat" said an asari voice.

Looking up, Tali saw two asari. Both of which were wearing C-SEC uniforms as well as carrying a nasty look with them.

"Well look what we have here, a rat that seems lost" said the other asari.

Tali could only gulp, it wasn't a surprise that the Quarian people were not the most liked people in galaxy. It also didn't help that she was living on the citadel of all places, the last place a quarian should be at.

"I'm so sorry ma'am's, I didn't you see you there!" Tali apologize, bowing her head. One of the first rules they learned back at the flotilla, if you ever get in trouble looks weak and pathetic, the less threatening you look the higher chance you'll get out with minor injuries.

"Likely story rat, looks to me like that assault was rather intentional" the asari retorted.

"Assault! I just bumped into you!" Tali exclaimed.

"Yeah right, don't think your the first one to say that sort of stuff brat" said the asari. "Besides, looks to me that assaulting isn't the first crime you committing either. Stealing from a grocery store? Tch, how low can your kind get?"

The asari pointed at the dropped bag, picking it up she sneer in disgust before turning back to Tali.

"Stole! I bought that with my own money" Tali growled back. Damn the first rule, no way she would allow these bosh'tets to insult here like that.

"Like we'll believe that, now normally if you begged hard enough that'll be good. But right now I'm feeling we need to teach your kind some respect for the authority" the other asari coldly replied back. Her partner agreeing with her as the faint glow of biotics could be seen.

Garrus growled underneath his breath at what he saw. This was not the first time he saw such police brutality in action. The worst part of it all was that there was a good chance those two could get away with it, discrimination against the quarian people were the largest cause of death.

Mordin could only shake his head at the scene, shame such hatred still existed long after the perpetrators have long since died. Then again, asari have been recorded to have hold grudges for decades if not centuries.

For Wrex the man could only snort, while he may not hate the quarian it did not mean he was willing to go out on a limb to save her. For know the old battle master was content to watch and see how this would go.

Tali clenched her fist in anger/annoyance, she was not naive to know the struggles of her pilgrimage. It was a high risk on itself to come to citadel of all places, one of the last places you should be if you wanted to say safe. Closing her eyes she gave a small pry for her other self's safety.

xxx Citadel xxx

For the people of the citadel they could only look at the scene with a mix of disgust/worry. While not many held high standards for the quarian people not all believe C-SEC would go this level of brutality.

For many there was worry about the rise of racist officers harassing minor races.

With the C-SEC themselves many were torn between their own dislike for the quarians and their own disappointment to see one of their own use their powers so grossly like this. This went double for the Pallin who could only growled at the two fools, if those two truly did exist then he would strip they status right then and there.


Tali paled as she saw the two approach close to her. She knew their were two options for her. Either she ran, and be eventually caught then beaten, as if anybody would help a quarian running away from C-SEC officers. Or stayed where she was, getting beaten to a pulp before needing to head to a hospital or Mordin's clinic, whichever was closer.

Closing her eyes the girl gave a small prayer for help.

...

"What's going on here?" asked a masculine voice.

The three ladies turned to the source of the voice. For the two asari only one thought went through their minds.

"Muscle"


xxx Citadel xxx

The various ladies on the station drooled at the sight of the human as blushes started to form at the thought that all human males were like this.

For the males ... well let's just say the various gyms began to see a swell in memberships


It was a human, one of the new species that recently joined the council just a few years ago. The human was male, had black fur on it's head(or hair as they like to say) that was given a short cut, and VERY muscular body.

"Well what's a cutie like you doing here?" one of the asari asked. her lips licking at she was seeing.

"..." The human was silent.

"Well what do we have here, what's a cute human like you doing here?" asked other asari, walking up to the human. "Now usually I would tell you to leave but-"

"You didn't ask my question, what are you doing to her" he repeated.

"Tch, this rat" said the asari as she pointed "Over-here has caused a ruckus, theft combined with assaulting an officer. She's going away for a long time for what she's done."

"... I see" said the human "But you have a slight mistake here"

"Huh? What you would that b-" she asked.

Before a fist flew into her nose, breaking it upon contacts.

The women screamed in pain as she clutch her bleeding nose. The other asari was in shock, she pulled out her pistol and aimed it at the human.

"There are few things that make me pissed. One, seeing people like you terrorize those less then you. Second, when you try to beat up my girlfriend" the human explained.

"Your going to die for that!" the other shouted, as she pressed the trigger.

And that's when it happened.

The body of the human glowed for a brief moment, to those watching the scene a astral looking arm appeared from the man's shoulder.

Grabbing the bullet mid way.


xxx Council xxx

"Did ... Did I just saw that human stop a bullet?" Fedorian asked aloud.

"I think that's a completely different arm, I mean look at it, it looks nothing like the humans" Real replied.

"Interesting, seems we are going to be seeing humans with different abilities this time, just like in our first viewing" Valern hummed.

"Joy" Spartus grumbled

Tevos shook her head at the two as she focused her attention on the screen, hopefully these humans will be more workable then any of the last species they had to previously deal with.

The geth watched the interaction with rapt attention, there vast hive like mind searching through their data banks for even the slight hint of the humans abilities. Already, new protocols were being formed to deal with these potential threats.


"W-WHAT!" she screamed. Right before her eyes she saw her round stopped by some invisible force before falling to the ground.

Before the asari could fire another shot the indivisible arm rushed towards the women, smashing into her face and knocking her out.

...

"You ok Tali?" the human asked as he rushed over to the downed girl.

"I-I'm fine shepard, you didn't need to go out all that way" she said softly.

"And what boyfriend would I be if I did tali" he replied softly. Helping her up shepard warped his around the girls shoulders as the two left the writhing asari on the ground.

"Shepard, did you really need to use your stand like that?" the girl exasperated.

"..." the human refused to answer, earning a sigh from his girlfriend.

"Stands, the unique ability of humanity" she thought to herself. From what shepard had told her about it, a stand was the physical manifestation of a human's life force.

Each stand was unique with some having super human strength to outright controlling time itself.

But their were a few similarities between each stand. For one, only a stand user can see another stand user, and only a stand can harm another stand. If the user was to dies then the stand would disappear, and if the stand died then the user would die also, since a stand is technically one's life force give form.

"Hacks, I call hacks dammit" Garrus said. That was stupid, stands were just stupid. The ability to be invisible to all else sides other stand users and invulnerable against every known weapon!

That was just unfair.

"Now there's interesting battle right there" Wrex grinned.

"Wait, you want to fight a stand!?" Tali exclaimed, unable to understand why would anybody would want to face something so ... overpowered.

"Me? Hah! Not in a million years, I know the difference between a good fight and stupid fight. And fighting a stand would be nothing more than a stupid fight ... but it doesn't mean I won't like to see others fight a stand.

"Interesting, never before have I seen something like this. Could it be some kind of genetic mutation? No, that could not be it, but maybe it is ..." Mordin trailed off as he listed off all the potential possibility for explaining the nature of stands in a scientific manner.

xxx Liara xxx

"By the goddess, what kind of power is that" Liara gasped in shock. Never before had she heard of such a thing like stands, not even her research in the protheans did such a thing come up.

"So, it's like the first viewing then" Benezia thought. The idea of another super powered human was worrying for the asari, but seeing how it seem the humans have integrated into the council did ease her fears. No doubt from here on out the asari should be able to guide the humans to a more brighter path then before.

xxx Citadel xxx

For many in the space station the mere idea of stands was simply insane. Such a being could simply exist, science dedicates that it should not. Yet these humans were destroying all of that right in front of their eyes.

This went double for the salarians, who were either declaring the impossibility of such a being or trying to prove it's existence.

The asari matriarchs were glad that these humans were under the influence of the council, from there on out it should not be long to mold them into something there species could use.

For the turians, many were worried about the potential damage they could do while others wondered their potential in actually combat.

For the krogans, well it was starting to look interesting for the battle thirsting race.

The rest of races merely waited and see how far these stands could go, but many were in agreement that it was better the humans were with them then against them.


However, not everyone believe in the idea of stands, even after being shown footage of it during the 314 relay incident between the turians and humans. To many the idea was a load of bull.

That wasn't even taking in hamon or vampires.

Nonetheless, after half an hour the two came to their apartment, it was in the more wealthy parts of the lower wards. Placing the bag on the table Shepard turned around and begin examining tali for any possible wounds she may have, while on that his stand's arm appeared and went towards the medical cabinet not too far from the couple.

"Shepard, you don't need to do this, I already told you that those asari did not lay a finger on me. No need for panicking" exasperated Tali. Seriously, her boyfriend was such a worry-wort.

"For all we now they could've used their biotics and punctured you suit. You can't assume with biotics" the man countered.

"And if that happened then my suit would've alarm me already and it's various measures to protect my immune system would kicked in" she retorted "Besides Shepard, I don't think biotics work like that. I mean we have liara here, out resident biotic/prothean expert."

The man merely grunted.

Shaking her head tali turned her attention to the bag of food ... well more like a bag of mush at the moment. "Sorry Shepard, I wanted to cook tonight but it seems like we'll have to get takeout again"

"That's nothing tali. Besides, I got a call from garrus, he wanted to invite us to chora's den. You, me, and Liara were invited" said Shepard.

"Really, well I'm not one to turn down some time with friends. You what time we're supposed to arrive?" asked tali. It would be nice to relax with most of her friends for a few hours, especially after today's incident, plus they could get some dinner at the den.

Garrus of course would be paying like always.

"In an hour from now" Shepard answered.

xxx One Hour Later xxx

"Shepard, Tali, over here!" Garrus called out through the barrage of neon lights, heavy music, and dancing (drunk) customers. The turian waved the couple to his table, where he and Liara were waiting for them.

"Garrus, it's good to see you" Tali greeted "And you too liara"

"Heh, you tell me" he said, just before his tone became more serious "I heard what happened a few hours ago tali. You don't need to worry about it anymore, those two have been under investigation for some time now, and after this stunt no doubt they'll kicked out of the force."

"You think your boss would really do that?"

"Well he might not be kindest to your people but the man follows the rules to the letter, he'll kick these two out no matter what their mothers say" Garrus answered.

"I see, well that is a relief" Tali sighed out, the last thing she wanted was get in trouble with C-SEC, neither her nor Shepard wanted to deal with that mess.

"Oh hush about work stuff Garrus" Liara chided "This is a time to relax not talk more about your latest arrest. Come, I want to see what drinks they are here."

Only for the front door to blow open

From the smoke one could see three humans entering the club, the lead human himself had a smug look as the krogan above him limped freely. With a flick of his finger the krogan was launched into the nearby wall, causing a large dent to appear.

"Mah, Mah, you guys need to more kind to your guest, trying to tell us to bugger off isn't friendly customer service" the main man mused.

From the club various members quickly pulled out their guns they had hid, all of them pointing to the main man and his two cohorts.

"Tch, well ... I guess I can say this place is the worst place I've been yet. But I do wonder, do any of you guys know what I do to places that give shit service like this?" the man asked.

"..."

"I destroy them, come, Laser Circuit!"

The man's body glowed an orangery yellow as a humanoid figure floated out from his back.

The Stand was a neon orange color with neon yellow line running vertically across the body. The stand's face was covered in a futuristic mask as it wore two gloves, with glass tips at the top.

The tips of laser Circuit fingers glowed as beam of orange light erupted, zooming towards the various grunts. The minute the lasers made contact the surrounding area burst into flame as all the bodyguards fell to the ground, dead upon contact.


xxx Council xxx

"Well, it seems this stand's name speaks all about it" Real commented.

"Indeed, but this madness" Fedorian replied. The primarch was both amazed and shocked at the stands ability. To have the power to shoot actual lasers was amazing yet also terrifying.

How did one stop a laser from hitting you?

Sparatus merely nodded with the primarch, his thoughts in line with what Fedorian was thinking.

"I see, so the abilities of stands are far more varied and extreme then previously imagined. To think they could control light like that" Valern breathed.

"I'm more worried about what that human has done, that man has killed at least half of dozen of citizens in under a second. And all because the man was not allowed to enter, what madness" Tevos argued.

For the geth, the collective looked at scene as it's plans were bring reformed. Top priority was to take out the user to destroyed the stand. Not only that but should the humans arrive to the citadel personality files for each human will need to be created.

"Please don't tell me I have to arrest that stand user. Really don't want to fight one of those, at all" Garrus prayed.

"Heh, scared pup?" Wrex asked.

"Well if you had to fight a stand wouldn't you be?"

"The better question would more why would I fight a stand user to begin with? I'm not stupid to fight a stand user, it's better to simply avoid the fight all together" Wrex explained.

"But what if you had to?" Tali pipped up.

"Biotics and then smash the humans head, or just take it out with my shotgun" the battle master explained "No use wasting your time with fancy moves or whatever, either kill the human quickly or die."


The people scream and cried in horror as many of them of attempted to escape the club. The man merely kept his hands in his pocket as the patrons push against each other in clear desperation. His eyes instead moving over to Shepard's table, whom none have yet to react in any way, save for the tensed look on their faces.

"Oh? Aren't you all going to run away or something?" the man asked as he walked over to the group.

"If we were somebody else, maybe. But you just killed about half a dozen of so people sir" replied Garrus.

"And what are you going to do about it?"

"Well I'll have to turn you in of course" Garrus calmly explained. Pulling his coat he showed his C-SEC badge and the pistol underneath. "Now, I'd recommend that you turn yourself in and save everyone the hassle, but we both know that's not going to happen."

"At least your right on that part, Laser Circuit, kill this turian" the man ordered as his stand rushed towards garrus.

Right before Shepard's stand garbed laser Circuit's arm.

"What the-" began the man. Before a fist smashed into his face, throwing him a few feet backwards.

"Good grief, and here I was hoping for a nice drink" said shepard. "I don't know about you, but your dead meat for trying to kill these people."

"Who the hell do you think you are!"

"John Shepard Joestar, or as everyone else calls me, JoJo" shepard answered back. "Come, Gravity King!"

From his back a large mound of shadows jumped up, the stand was cloaked in shadows as the only noticeable feature was the two rings of fire that represented it's eyes.

"You think your stand scares me! Don't go thinking you can beat me bastard!" he roared.

Laser Circuit fired a volley of laser towards Gravity King, as the lasers moved towards the stand they veered off at he last second hitting the wall behind him.

...

"W-What!"

"I warned you were going to die, not even your stand can save you from Gravity King, This is your end" said Shepard.

Before the man could reply dozens of fist rammed into his body, quickly turning his body into nothing more then meaty chunks. The mans two cohorts watched in horror before they two were knocked out soon after.

...

"Well as least the battle was quick, that's a relief" Tali mentally sighed. While she had never seen a stand battle before this she knew from Shepard such battles can get very dangerous. Then again, the man made the mistake of fighting Gravity king in the first place.

There was a reason Shepard's stand was strongest in the alliance, for it's ability was to control Gravity. It could even go up to the point of creating controlled micro black.


xxx Clinic xxx

"Micro black holes ... why should I even be surprised, of course shepard would have something that stupidly overpowered" Garrus sighed. Man, what is it with humans and having all these super cool powers.

"You should be surprised Garrus! This absolutely amazing, to think such a power could exist, no wonder why shepard was so confident in fighting that man, with his power he could nullify Laser Circuit attacks easily. Though I wonder how shepard can use that black hole ability without suffer any drawbacks ... or does he?" Mordin gleefully wonder aloud.

"So cool" Tali awed. The power to control gravity itself to that level was something, and knowing said human was her ... mate, ancestors, her other self scored a great catch.

xxx Liara xxx

"Micro black holes, goddess give me strength to deal with these humans" Benezia breathed in shock. She understood these stands had amazing powers ... but at this level? Madness, pure and unadulterated madness. The only saving grace was that such an ability was not common among other stands, though that did not do much to aid her new found fears.

"Amazing, oh how I could study such a a stand" Liara whispered.

"Oh? I never pegged you to be a scientist dear, I thought archaeology was your major little wing?" Benezia teased.

"W-Well it doesn't mean I'm not interested in this mother" Liara shuttered out.

The old matriarch merely smiled at her daughters awkwardness, it was these moments that she enjoyed. Spending time with her daughter was a luxury these days. However, as she watched her child, she wondered about this tali person, as well as this garrus person too.

Immediately, her ancient mind began working as she waved to one of her commando, she whispered orders to the maiden before waving her off.


"Sorry about the mess Garrus, but I couldn't take any chance with this guy, especially with his type of stand" Shepard apologized.

"Don't hold it shepard, you let me deal with it, this nothing we've faced before" garrus waved the concern from the human. "Why don't you guys go ahead, I got to make a call to Pallin."

Shepard nodded as he went over to Tali and offered her his hand. Grabbing it the two gave their goodbyes to Garrus/Liara before heading back home.

"Tali, I'm sorry about what happened back there, about ruining our time with Garrus and Liara" Shepard apologized.

"Don't worry so much about it Shepard, I'm just happy that none of us were harmed or worse, killed" said Tali. "I'm glad that you were able to end that battle quick, I never knew stands battles were well ... like that."

Shepard hummed as he understood what Tali was saying, from his time in the military he knew that any non-human were scared of fighting a stand user. After all, how do you fight something that was invisible to ever form of sight and could not be harmed by any weapon?

It was an absolute nightmare for most armies

Especially to the turians during the first contact war

"Tali, I know your scared, but I promise you that nobody will ever harm you as long as I'm here" he promised to his girlfriend.

...

"Hmph, Who said about being scared" she scoffed "If anyone is scared then it's you big baby. Trust me, nothing bad is going to happen to me ... jojo. Now let's get back home silly."


xxx Council xxx

"Well, that was rather ... interesting to say the least" Real spoke first.

"Indeed, I can assume this is not the first time a viewing was shown?" Fedorian agreed.
