*Oh Jesus I almost regret asking 'what the reviewers wanted' I've had 3 requests for Miranda to do some shameful acts *sigh* but I did say if you wanted it. If I suddenly become less honourable when I get to that bit I'll put in a Miranda scene*
Pain: The world around Shepard was just a blearing pain as he seemingly felt 100 krogans were having a brawl in his cranium, taking a minute or five with his eyes closed trying to control the pain finally he sat himself up and looked around at his unfamiliar surroundings.
It seemed that he was in some luxury room, well used to be luxury ,the couches were tipped over, curtains were ripped and scattered along the floor, the beautiful wall paintings had been taken down and several rude words in as many languages had been scrawled over them. What was a major shock to him was the elcor statue that lay shattered in the corner.
Dam what did we do last night? as that question came to mind he suddenly realised he could not remember anything from last night. Heh hell of a hangover I wonder how the other's took it? glancing around he tried to make out the forms of his crew, sweeping his gaze around he noticed the encumbered form of Garrus sprawled across the sofa but his eyes suddenly focused on the Turians face a crown of sorts that seemed to be made of genuine gold ( a extraordinary rare metal due to it only being available on Earth and a few other worlds in the Sol system) and encrusted with rubies, delgats and other rare stones. Thinking back to were the acquired the crown he once again reached the large grey area of his memory thinking as to how he couldn't remember anything from yesterday. Stumbling across the suite to see if a close inspection of the crown would jog his memory , unfortunately the loud snoring of the turian rang like bellows inside his head causing him to cringe, during one such act he tripped over the unconscious form of Mordin who during his inebriated dream was on the verge of curing Scale itch from the magical dragon Alextorzra.
Mordin quickly shot up and shouted ''The Answer is a mix of 37.5g of Magnesium 0000.2g of comet fragment and some elf blood..wait what?'' questioned Mordin looking around at the unfamiliar setting.
''Hmmm last I recall we had a shot of Elcor ale and now we are in a 6 star hotel by my guessing, hypothesis.. Severe hangover.''
At the Doctors rapid fire talking Garrus also rocketed off the sofa launching the crown from his head which promptly collided into Shepard's rising head, causing a cry of pain before the Spectre slumped upon a scattered sofa cushion.
.
Once again waking up but with a even more severe headache that before he looked up to find the heads of Garrus and Mordin looming over his head.
''Jesus, what happened?''
Garrus shrugged sheepishly .''I accidentally knocked you out.''
''No mean about the room, my headache and the fact I can't remember a dam thing from yesterday.''
Mordin quickly stepped in the answer the hastily asked questions. ''Well after looking around the room it would seem we are at the Goddess's hand, one of the most prestigious hotels in the Citadel ,the headache and the loss of memory is also suffered by me and Garrus Vakarian and appears to be some side affect from the elcor ale we ingested I can administer some high power aspirin to relieve some pain.'' Nodding his consent Mordin grabbed a nearby bottle and handed a couple pills to Shepard who quickly swallowed them, almost immediately the ache subsided to a bearable level.
''If you don't mind I need to go to the toilet.'' rather ungracefully he made his way across the wrecked room and entered what he presumed to be the toilet, as he started to relieve himself he turned towards a sudden movement caught in his eye sight. Looking at the cause of the movement to which made a rather large puddle across the toilet seat and surrounding floor. Across the room was possibly the largest krogan he had ever seen easily surpassing Wrex and Grunt and beside him was a large scarred Varren.
Noticing Shepard's shift in focus the krogan nodded his head and said in a voice that sounded like two boulders being rubbed against one another.
''Sup, names Francis.''
Not knowing if he should be scared of his appearance or his calm attitude Shepard nearly fled out of the room and collided with Garrus.
''Whoa Shepard what's the fire?''
''There! There in the bathroom is a some krogan with a huge Varren!''
Giving an amused snort Garrus shrugged and made his way to the bathroom. ''Riiight well then Boss. uncle Garrus will go take care of the big bad krogan.''
As he walked through the door he returned visibly paled .''But, But, But.'' he could only stutter out.
''I told you! I need to get Tali and get as far as way from 'Francis' as we can.''
The salarian and the turian quickly averted their eyes.
''What happened?''
''Aaaa yes, well it seems that we are the only people present so we do not know the location of the other crew members including Tali'Zorah.''
''What about Radio?''
'Well that part I do remember just after we had the elcor ale we all agreed no one will interrupt the party so we all destroyed our comms and Kasumi overrided Tali's helmet vox unit.''
''What? Well we have to find her I mean she could be anywhere!''
''Shepard! Listen we will find her but none of us can remember a dam thing from last night, so running wildly over the Citadel wouldn't help us let alone her! So I suggest we just wait round here give the place a once over and try to see if anything comes to mind.''
Seeing the reason behind Garrus words Shepard tried to calm down but the thoughts of his soon to be wife somewhere possibly unconscious in the Citadel made him nearly sick with worry.
''Ok, ok that sounds like a good plan.'' Shepard agreed as the trio began to long arduous process and trying to remember the events that occurred last night.
.
Jacob ran down the corridor his heavy panting the only sound blurring into his ears as he fearfully twisted and turned downed passages' and side passage's, he cast glances behind him hopeful that the dreaded things would not be following him. He had been running for the past hour, waking up to a painful headache and in some sleazy apartment then the banging started alone and unable to make contact he hurriedly escaped outside the window just in time to see the things coming for him.
The screaming resonated again, hunting after him ringing through his head like some banshee's wail, he tripped at the sudden pressure scrambling forward desperately trying to add as much space between him and pack of feral things hunting him, as the sounds of banging feet hammered down dashed any chances he had of escape he turned around to see the horde of creatures bolt down the corridor towards him.
''Look girls! Aren't his abs just to die for!'' screamed some brunette, then at some hidden signal the flock of women ate up the space between them and their musculared prey, knowing this was an enemy he couldn't fight Jacob turned and bolted down the window hoping to lose them in twisting streets of the wards.
.
As they filtered out of Nexus each heading out in groups of two's or three's Grunt who for the first time in his 1 year life was thoroughly drunk, at first thinking his superior genetic engineering he would be immune to s single shot of ale but that had been proven false as he was as drunk as the other crew members . Grunt stumbled his way down many alleys breaking the sea of the busy night time crowds who clearly wanted to avoid a blind drunk krogan Grunt found himself in lying in possibly his own urine as he wasn't to sure it was his own. Then he heard a high pitched scream. Even through the dense haze of the Elcor ale the krogan idea that a scream meant a fight and a fight meant enjoyment Grunt made his way towards to sound.
Rounding the corner and smacking into the adjacent wall Grunt was confronted with the sight of a lone female human pinned against a wall by a turian.
''C'mon babe why don't we go back to my place all quite like I will show you a good time.'' as he grabbed a handful of her blonde hair and gave a desire filled sniff.
''Get off my you creep!.'' cried to women clearly trying not to break down in tears.
The struggle was soon ended when the turian backhanded her across the face. ''Quite b**ch it is not like you have any say in this.''
With a sly smirk his hand snaked towards her skirt when a sudden rumble rang behind him, wheeling round him he saw the sight of the 900 pound Krogan charging towards him.
''I AM *burp* KROGAN!''
Just before the wall of scales and muscle slammed into him the turian had enough time to release his bowels before he was launched against the wall with a sickening crack.
Cringing against the sudden noise and violence the women huddled into a ball and waited for the end, realising she was not about to be attacked she uncurled herself and stared up at the large heavy breathing behemoth looming over her.
''Th- Thank you.'' she meekly stuttered out
Grunt merely flicked his gaze between the pasted turian and her before grunting and sullenly said. ''Was hardly a fight at all.''
Not understanding this she continued. ''Anyway thank you so much I thought for sure that creep would rape me but then you swooped in and saved me like well I guess a super hero.'' with that she quickly fled obviously scared of her saviour.
At the final words Grunt paused, his Battlemaster had often told him stories of Superheroes- people of extreme power who would often protect others and fight evil. With a evil gleam Grunt had an idea and took off into the Wards determined to show those hero's how a krogan does it.
* As you can see I am trying to cover as many of the crews morning afters as I can but I will be mainly focussing on Shepard finding Tali and Vice Versa. I will use several concepts used in the Movie :The Hangover but I will add some of my own idea's as well. Note there is no stone called a Delgat it was just something meant to be a space stone or something.
Also at the end of each Chapter I will put a story from a crew member during the night before showing their exploits while drunk, sometime these may affect the present story or they may not.*
