Sufficiently Awkward: Chapter Two
"Garrus will lead the second team on the lower decks, Miranda will be leading the first team on the upper decks, and myself and Grunt will be leading the mock attack with Samara Jack, Thane and Jacob, is everyone clear on their positions?" Commander Shepard had just finished briefing the Normandy crew on the emergency drill when a message came in from Joker. Intercom-Joker:"Commander, EDI just picked up a distress signal." Shepard excuses himself from the rest of the team, "Just forward it to another ship near by , after the collectors kidnapping the crew its important that they are prepared for possible intrusions" Intercom-EDI: "Shepard, the distress signal comes from Project Firewalker, it specifically requests Normandy assistance" Intercom-Joker: " Here Commander I'll play the message for you" (Distress signal- Unknown Male : This... is *crackle sounds* I'm a scientist for projec.. firw..alker I'm trapped in *crackle sounds* under the north *crackle sounds* half of my crew have alr..dy been killed the others are M.I.A, the mountains just sta..rted *crackle sounds* right af...ter we spot..ted a *crackle sounds* we need the Normandy to *crackle sounds* we cant let them find the.. END OF TRANSMISSION.) Intercom-EDI: "Shepard I have detected geth presence on the planet" Commander Shepard hangs his head and sighs " Ok guys change of plan Garrus your with me, Tali take over the second team" "Yes Commander Shepard" the quarian takes the training gun from Garrus and joins the team she is now to lead.
Yeoman Chambers noticed a reaction in Miranda Lawson that intrigued her, Miranda had developed a very cold uptight demeanour even more so than usual when Shepard had asked Garrus to accompany him. Maybe Operative Lawson expected to be chosen, it was unusual that she'd be the one to be left behind for training with all her biotic and combat skills not to mention her natural battle field awareness that she possesses . Kelly thought for a moment and almost let a slight smile pass her lips when it occurred to her that the reason the Commander didn't take Operative Lawson with him and the reason Miranda seemed so pissed with it was because maybe they were not as cosy with each other as Normandy crew gossip has been saying , maybe they are not an item anymore, were they ever? Kelly started to feel sorry for Miranda and decided this wasn't any of her business and tuned back into team talks.
But Yeoman Chambers wasn't wrong, Miranda Lawson wasn't happy with Shepard's decision to take Garrus instead of her, and she had every intention of letting the Commander know about it. "EDI?" Commander Shepard was making sure he had enough thermal clips and heavy weapon ammo just in case they ran into any geth. Intercom-EDI: " Shepard?" Commander Shepard fixed his helmet into to place, "What do we know about this place?" John Shepard and Garrus Vakarian walked into the cock pit and stood either side of Joker waiting for the Normandy to reach the optimum level to depart from the ship and land in the hammerhead . "Project Firewalker believes that there are Prothian ruins deep in the caverns on the mountains, it is probable that's why the geth are there Shepard, I suggest that you move quickly to find the remaining Project Firewalker team but with caution , there is a great disturbance on the earths surface around the mountains, a missile from a geth drop ship would give explanation to the disturbance" , "So what happens if we stay there too long?" Garrus asks while loading his shotgun with thermal clips. "The mountains will collapse on top of you and you will be crushed into soldier smoothies" Garrus not too amused by Jokers response proceeded to the docking bay. Shepard would of been right there with him if he hadn't of had his path blocked.
Miranda Lawson, defiant before the Commander , although he was her superior she wasn't going to let him tell her what to do she was going on the mission with him . Shepard had been listening to Miranda rant on about having her skills looked over foraround 5 minutes now but all the Commander could notice was how sexy she was when she was angry. Scary, but sexy. Her tight suit showed off her curvy body perfectly , Shepard's mind began to wonder back to a time when he saw what her body was like under the suit, and what she was using her body for at that time. Engulfed in his memories of him with his hands firmly on Miranda's ass , supporting her while she straddled him and moved up and down on top of him, his cock being deep inside her tigh... "SHEPARD!" The Commander quickly torn out of his thoughts was startled, "Are you even listening to me!, you're such an arrogant arse!" Operative Lawson stormed passed him clearly in the foulest of moods. It wasn't till Shepard had recovered from his own self annoyance that he realised Miranda had joined Garrus against his own wishes, but he'd pissed her off enough and he didn't feel in much position to argue with her now. So he fastened his weapons to the back of his armor and joined Garrus and Miranda.
