Prompt: Freezing


The cold was biting as they made their way to Peak 15's entryway. The blizzard blew chunks of freezing snow into their faces, clogging their visors in short order. Shepard's breath came out as white fog, lips chapping and nose turning red from the immediate drop in temperature from the Mako's interior to Noveria's cold, cold climate.

"I'm in an environmental suit," Tali complained, her teeth chattering, "and I'm still cold."

"Don't use up your power generator," Garrus advised. "No telling what we're going to find here."

"That would be why I'm cold," Tali told him, slowing her words as though she were talking to a child. Or just an incredibly stupid turian.

"Enough, you two," Shepard admonished, drawing a shotgun. "Weapons hot."
