Without the relays, it took the Normandy more time than normal to reach Earth. Garrus turned tense and nervous. What if Shepard had…died in the time it took them to return. No, don't think like that. She would hang on for him.
Hackett greeted the crew once they had landed. Earth was still a wreck, but significant improvements had already been made. When Garrus came face to face with the Admiral, his question was vague but he'd understand.
"Is she alive" Garrus asked forcefully.
Hackett was tired, physically and emotionally. Therefore, it took him a moment to respond.
"We have her held up in a makeshift hospital not far from here. She's badly injured, lost tremendous amounts of blood, unconscious but stable.
"I need to see her" Garrus informed.
Hackett nodded "Follow me".
