***************************** Didn't want to write out whole Suicide Mission. Shepard sided with Cerberus and didn't destroy the base. Jacob, Tali, Jack along with Dr. Chakawas and the crew all perished. Shepard agreed with The Illusive Man in the end.
Robert sat on his bed, crew shirt removed, drinking a glass of the one bottle of booze in his had suffered some minor injuries in the battle, a few bruised ribs from the rubble, and a collector beam managed to break through his shields and armor once, leaving an already cauterized gash traveling up his left arm, from his elbow to his shoulder blade. Ruthless tactics, playing mercenary, but becoming a Cerberus loyalist, it made no sense. How many corpses had he added to the galaxy. All those Batarianas he butchered during the Skyllian Verge in Torfan. The Rachni he destroyed on Noveria, Ashley Williams on Virmire, along with another large population on the said planet, and the count could keep on going, but he decided against it, drowning his temporary guilt in krogan liquor. "It never ends" he said to himself.
Suddenly the one thing in his life made sense walked through the door, Miranda Lawson. After the destruction of the Human-Reaper she slid down a piece of the falling platform. He almost lost it, he almost lost her, his reason to be happy, his reason to feel human. Without any thought he dove after her and grabbed her, saving her from certain death. It pained him to think of what could have happened if he was even a second too late. "Robert...do you have a minute?" He looked at her, even after battle she still looked perfect "For you, I have all the time in the world." She sat down next to him and noticed his grisly wounds."My god, are you okay...let me.."he stopped her and said "trust me I've had worse" She looked into his eyes, past the cybernetic glow and could see the depression in him. "Before this mission I would have never questioned our orders, I just hope whatever Cerberus finds in that base is worth it." Shepard looked at her and said "I know, we did what was necessary, but we survived, you and I, and that's all that matters."
So many had died on this mission. Tali as she struggled to shut the jammed door when a missile struck her in the face, the sound of her mask shattering still was heard in his ears. Jack refusing to fall back when the biotic barrier fell, being carried away by the seeker swarm, screaming as she was slowly torn apart. Jacob, desperately trying to lead the second fire team while Miranda was the biotic specialist, being shot repeatedly in his chest, his last words being "You guys finish up for me...all right." Why were these deaths bothering him.
"Robert, I try to not let personal feelings interfere in a mission, but while we were down there, I couldn't stop thinking about you, worrying about you." He could tell she was opening up, possibly the most she had in her life. " Robert...I need you...I love you" Robert looked into her eyes, hers a calm blue, while his looked artificial and deathless, and if she could say this to a monster like him, he could easily return his feelings. "I guess it took me being killed to lead me to the right person, something I would gladly do again, I have never let anyone within a mile of my emotions my entire life, until now, until you. Stay with me Miranda, I love you." In one instant his bottle fell to the floor, and she was on top of him, tears of happiness running down her face. Before the Omega Relay, it was lust, this was them being together emotionally. She ran her fingers down his face, feeling his scars, and down to his muscular chest. He let out a brutish grunt as her fingers tickled him. The rest of the night was slow paced and ended with each in the others embrace.
