Here is the newest chapter of Users. Sorry it took so long but I have trouble motivating myself. That, on top of no reviews just made this chapter take a backseat to the new story I'm doing with my friend JustAFerret. If you want to read it, it's called K'Vash's Legend. Remember, the more reviews equals the faster updates.
Danny:
Danny got up from sleeping in Shepard's chair. Never before did he have a crick in his neck like he did now. The pain was enough that when he adjusted his head it woke him up quick. Now he was up and making his way to the dining hall.
The door opened and everyone was hard at work, except Shepard. He was lying with his head down on the table and had a cup of coffee in his hand. Danny walked over and took the seat across form Shepard.
"How's it going Shepard?"
Shepard raised his head and Danny saw he was wearing sunglasses, "I don't think this migraine is getting any better."
Danny sat back in his chair and reached into his pocket, "Well, you know what helps me when I feel pain?"
Shepard waved his hand, "I can't drink any alcohol. I'm on duty."
Danny gave a laugh and pulled out his scotch he stole from Alenko, "Not with that terrible of a migraine. Here, it will help."
Shepard reached out and took the bottle from Danny, "Isn't this Kaiden's?"
Danny smiled mischievously, "I don't see a name on that, do you?"
Shepard shrugged and put the bottle to his lips. He tilted back and began guzzling the alcohol. Danny watched with a smile that quickly dissipated when he realized that Shepard had just drunk half the bottle and didn't stop. The bottle was quickly finished and Shepard set it down with a smile, "Now that felt good."
Danny opened his mouth to yell about all the alcohol being gone when Shepard passed out and smashed his head into the table. Danny just sighed and grabbed the coffee cup out of Shepard's hand. If he didn't have alcohol, he could at least have coffee.
Danny sat back and drank the cup thinking about what got him into the Universe of Mass Effect. He had to guess it started with getting off the plane in Lewis Town. It was a small town in Washington. Danny was honestly glad he had gotten in the GWU instead of sitting in the cesspool of a town.
Sadly, he was back in the city and stuck with everyone else. Now the first thing he did was look at how far he could get out. Danny knew Ty was living in Moscow, Idaho going to the U of I so that meant Danny had an excuse to leave. The only problem was how to get from Lewis Town to Moscow.
Danny's mind quickly raced for a solution to the problem that had been presented. Now, in all of Danny's life he learned two very important lessons. One: the girl always gets what she wants. Two: Alcohol could solve any problem.
That's when Danny came up with an idea; he could drink so much alcohol that he would pass out and… that was a terrible idea. The only other answer was to barrow his parents' truck. So, after a long dinner and some convincing, Danny finally got the truck. He just had to wait till the next day to get it.
Danny got up the next day and got in the truck. He started up and took off down the road. After several cop chases, two near catastrophic collisions, and three flattened snakes, Danny finally made it to Ty's apartment. Danny walked up and got to Ty's door when he realized something, he forgot Cody. Danny pulled out his phone and sent a quick text.
Danny finished the text and knocked on Ty's door. Nothing happened for a while, Danny thought Ty wasn't home but when he put his ear to the door he heard Ty's voice and a few other people. Danny knew Ty was in there now and he needed to find a way in. He walked down to the bottom of the apartment complex and saw a tree branch heading right to Ty's window.
Danny began climbing the tree without a second thought. Though, in this case a second thought was needed after numerous branches broke and Danny got into a fight with a squirrel. Danny had reached inside a nook in the tree and it had turned out that the squirrel had stored its nuts there.
The squirrel jumped out of the hole and began tearing and scratching at Danny's hands. Danny tried to bat it away but it was too quick and climbed his arm up to his face. It began scratching and clawing at his ears.
Danny brought his arm up and tried to knock it off his head but it used this as an opportunity to jump down his sleeve and attack him more. Danny began jittering as the squirrel moved around. This caused the branch that he was on to break and Danny hit every branch on the way down. Each one broke under his weight.
Danny hit the ground with a thud. As he was getting up the squirrel bolted from his shirt and ran up the tree. It stopped at its hollow and looked down at Danny. The squirrel gave a nod and walked back into its lair with its head held high.
Danny groaned and rubbed the back of his head where he had fallen. It hurt but his determination to get up there was greater than pain. Danny began climbing the tree again and when he got to the nook, he reached in and yanked the little bastard out. Danny had him by the tail; the squirrel wasn't moving at all.
Danny wasn't sure if it was dead or just playing possum. Danny got real close and the squirrel sprang forth and bit Danny on the nose. Danny screamed and pulled the squirrel off. He then chucked it outward and it landed in the tree next to the one he was in.
Danny began to haul ass as the squirrel quickly made its way to him. Danny was climbing from branch to branch and in through Ty's window. He turned and saw the squirrel was on the branch and about to leap at him. Danny quickly grabbed the window and closed it just in time to see the squirrel hit the window and fall all the way to the ground.
Danny made his way to the couch and sat down. That was the third squirrel to attack him this week. He didn't know why but they all get a bead on him and he suddenly has to run like hell. Danny hated squirrels almost as much as he hated cats.
Danny was brought out of his thoughts when he saw that ME was open on Ty's TV screen. Danny wondered where Ty was. The Danny saw Ty on screen. Danny stood up and got close to the TV, he pressed his face to it and was met with a shock that sent him over the top of the couch and into the kitchen.
Danny got up and walked back to the couch; he sat down and looked at Ty's controller. The X button was glowing. Seeing the X button like that, Danny had the urge to press a button. He reached over and pressed it. Then, he got to here.
Danny took a long drag from his coffee and gave a nod, "Yep, pressing random buttons never goes wrong."
Danny drank the last of his coffee and got up from the table. He was wondering where Ty and Cody were. Danny figured that Cody was up in the cockpit. Even if he wasn't, Danny would get a chance to troll Joker again and that was always fun.
Danny began to walk away when one of the sleep pods opened up. He looked back and saw Ty stepping out. Danny was about to think nothing of it when Tali stepped out as well. A smile came to Danny's lips.
Danny jumped behind the mid-wall in the dining hall. He waited for Tali to walk passed and then jumped on Ty. He grabbed him and pulled him into Shepard's room, locking the door behind them.
Ty jumped up, "Oh, shit, you're not going to rape me?"
Danny gave a laugh and then decked Ty, "What the hell? I didn't know you were sleeping with Tali?"
Ty waved off Danny, "No, no, she fell asleep last night and I carried her to her pod. I set he in there and accidentally hit the close button."
Danny stifled a laugh, "Smooth Ty, real smooth."
Ty shook his head and looked away, "Yeah, well. Go fuck yourself."
Danny took the open chair, "So, how'd the date go?"
Ty rolled his eyes, "I put Back to the Future on in the comm room."
Danny was confused by this, "Wait, how?"
"I have it down loaded to my Xbox. It took some working but I managed to play it through the screen in the comm room. Like I said."
"That's awesome, why didn't I think of that?"
Ty smiled, "Because dip shit, you perceive this as real."
Danny opened his mouth to reply when there was a knock at the door. Danny and Ty looked at each other and Ty unlocked it. The door opened and revealed Liara.
"Ty, Danny, I need you to come with me right away."
Ty just began walking and Danny quickly followed. The three of them made their way over to the medbay where they saw Shepard laying on a hospital bed. Shepard was groaning and Chakwas was looking very very very angry.
"Would someone like to tell me how Shepard got alcohol poisoning?"
Everyone in the medbay looked at Danny. Danny put his hands up in defense but quickly knew he was defeated, "Alright, I gave him my bottle of scotch but he was the one who downed the whole thing in one drink!"
Ty smacked Danny in the back of the head and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Is this a bad thing?"
Chakwas was clenching her teeth, "Yes, this is. We are headed for an asteroid heading for a human planet. Shepard was supposed to land and stop it. Now what do we do?"
Danny raised his hand, Chakwas just face palmed, "Yes Danny?"
"Ty could do it."
Ty smacked Danny in the back of the head again, "What the hell are you talking about? I just failed at that on Feros."
Danny's plan quickly formulated, "No, you can do it. You have a chance to try again. You need to take this chance."
Ty shook his head, "No way!"
Danny pulled Ty over and whispered in his ear, "You need to do this; I need you to be in charge of a separate squad on Virmire."
Ty's eyes widened and he seemed to get Danny's plan, "I'll do it, on one condition."
Chakwas gave a wave, "What is it?"
Ty looked at Danny, "Only Danny, Cody, and I go down."
Chakwas looked at Ty and gave a devilish smile, "I'm okay with that."
Liara on the other hand was not, "No, you need more people. Take me and maybe Wrex. Whatever is down there warrant's it."
Ty looked over at Chakwas and gave the same smile, "I'm okay with it."
Chakwas was about to open her mouth when Joker came over the intercom, "ETA thirty minutes to asteroid. Boarding party ready yourselves."
