Prompt: Snowflake


When the Thresher Maw rose up out of the snow on Xawin, Liara shrieked in Ashley's ear. Even as Shepard throttled back on the Mako and ground the gears trying to throw the vehicle into reverse, Liara continued to shriek.

Wrex reached over and pinched a nerve on the asari scientist and she fell silent, out like a light.

"Loud little snowflake, isn't she?" he asked as Garrus loaded another 50 mm round into the canon.

Shepard turned the tank again, angling away from the Thresher. "You didn't kill her did you?" she asked.

"No, Shepard," Wrex told her. "She'll wake up with a headache in a little while." He fired off a volley of automatics at the beast looming on the targeting screen. "If we don't get eaten," he added.

"Thanks for the vote of confidence, Wrex."
