Prompt: ashamed (or: Shepard needs to choke a b*tch; 1 of 5 ways Shepard and Co. could have gotten Santiago for Massani)


For all his talk about vengeance, Massani is allowing their target to monologue. Shepard doesn't like it. Not at all. She likes to fight hard –fast, dirty– and figures a thirty-odd year mission to kill a guy would involve killing him. Dead like. Her view isn't shared as Santiago, whose been playing hide-and-seek with Massani for years, stands there mocking him.

And Massani? He's standing there too, in the open, airing grievances, like a moron.

She'll have to punish the ragingly incompetent Ahab later. For now, she signals Garrus. Maybe they can hurry this along.

"Right knee."

Garrus doesn't disappoint.
