Danny:

Danny sat back in the chair at the dining hall. In agreeing to leave the ship after they reached the Citadel, Danny just might have signed away his time on the Normandy along with alienating the people on it. That meant he better wrap things up and wrap them up good. Out of everyone on the ship, the only one that Danny needed to patch things up with Shepard.

Not only for the alcohol poisoning, taking his seat, and just over all contradicting Shepard but the fact that Ty won't be trying to make good with anyone. Hell, he was just going to stay in the medbay until they reached the Citadel and leave without giving anyone any notice. That meant that Danny would have to solve it… or just say fuck it and get on with his life inside the game.

The thought of life made Danny wonder, would he actually be able to live life inside the game or would everything just stop and Chakwas would write in some way that makes Shepard take them back? If they would just live on through the game then what's the point of risking their lives, but if they need to fight their way through it then it's completely understandable.

That just brought another question to the table, are the AIs that surround him sentient or are they just doing what they program? This question could easily answer which of the first questions was the true one. Danny sat and contemplated the question while he waited for a chance to talk to Shepard.

The sitting caused his eyes to wander, and they fell upon Kaiden's terminal. Then the questions began to play even fast in his head. Are they sentient or are they dumb? Are they sentient? Are they people? Are they alive? Are they trapped?

Danny needed to get the whole deal of AIs off his mind and opened up his omnitool to play a game. Any game at all, he was just tired of thinking. Danny flipped through his programs and found several tech abilities that he could use against the Geth and activated them. Three more buttons appeared on Danny's omnitool. Danny's hand floated over to the buttons but then a game caught his eye, Tetris.

Danny opened up Tetris and just played just thinking to himself, at least this game won't go crazy and pull me in.

Cody:

Cody walked around the Mako and wondered how he did it. Danny and Ty had to think about what they wanted their weapon's and armor to turn into but he didn't. He just yelled and smacked the console. There wasn't a control factor, it was just random. Then again, they all had a limiter on their power. Danny had his linked to stamina, Ty had a time limit, maybe his was how random it was.

The more Cody thought about it, the more it made sense to him. That also meant that he shouldn't try it in a small area. It would be a terrible action to make the death star in the Normandy. Then again, Soverign probably couldn't beat the death star. Cody closed his eyes and shook his head, chances of getting that would be outweighed by getting a mongoose.

Cody made his was out into the middle of the bay so he could get a good look at the Mako. He wondered if it would be any vehical or would it have to be the Mako or Firewalker. Cody just shrugged and began to leave when Garrus called out to him.

"Hey, Cody, could you come over here?"

Cody stepped up to Garrucs, "Whatcha need?"

Garrus pointed behind him at the Mako diagnostics console, "I've been searching the Mako but I can't seem to find the giant robot button anywhere."

Cody crossed his arms and looked at Garrus inquisitively, "How would you know about that?"

Garrus brought his hand up and pointed at his head, "Your's and Shepard's helmet cams. I watched what happened after I left and was surprised to see what you did."

Cody rubbed the back of his neck and looked away from Garrus, "Yeah, well, it was nothing."

"It was enough to mess with the Mako's suspension and put its targeting off", Garrrus said sounding irritated.

Cody but his hands up and gave a mock surrender while rolling his eyes, "Okay, I won't save everyone's asses ever again."

Garrus gave a mock sneer, "Much appreciated, that will really save me a lot of time."

Cody stuttered a little bit, "You can't be serious."

"Of course I'm not serious; you did what you had to do. I'm just wondering if you knew what happed to my stash", Garrus inquired.

Cody thought for a moment, "You mean the ice and beer?"

Garrus nodded, "Yes that, can't seem to find it in any of the cargo lockers."

Cody walked over to the door and climbed into the Mako, "When I transformed it, I found that stuff in the cockpit. Here it is."

Cody grabbed the beer and clothes and brought them to Garrus, "Thanks, never thought they would have moved into there."

Cody handed Garrus the drinks and then held up the shirt, "And I never thought I would meet a Turian that liked the Flash."

Garrus popped that tab on one of the cans, "That's actually your friend, Ty's. He needed to store it somewhere and I said he could keep it there. Mind running those to him?"

Cody took a deep breath, "Sure."

Tali:

Tali began wringing her hands together trying to calm herself but she just felt the goose bumps under her suit spread. She wasn't cold but nervous. She began to asked herself, why did she like Ty? Was there anything between them?

Tali felt like she had just thrusted herself into a relationship after talking to him just a couple of times. Then again, Ashley did that with Shepard and they seemed happy or at least did. She remembered seeing Shepard go after Ashley as they both went up the elevator after the mission but Ashley looked distressed and like she was about to lose it.

Tali didn't blame her, if she had been the one whose life had hung in the balance, she would be asking if she was really worth more than the other person. Tali shook her head and looked at the console in front of her. The average output of the FTL drive had dropped 14% in the time that the ship had been flying. Only a minor error but it could grow quickly.

Feeling her finger move on auto pilot, Tali had to up the draw and that leveled out back to what it should be. Nodding at her work, Tali caught a glimpse of her hand and raised it up to look at. She was wearing the suit that Ty had gotten her on Noveria. It still had the shine to it but it was also deteriorated in parts where the Thorian Creeper had threw up on it.

It was still good armor and better than her old Onyx suit but it just seemed wrong. It was like a lie that was covered up by a red rose. Beautiful but it would always have an evil aura radiating from it.

Looked at her clock and sat that she had only been working three hours of her five hour shift. She wanted to talk to Ty and get this figured out or at least close the bridge between them. The more she thought about how he was willing to throw away a life so easily, even laugh at the chance made her sick in the stomach.

Tali moved from the output to the venting system, no obstructions (thank the ancestors), no faulty shutters, and no life signs. That meant she was just to sit bored for the next four hours simply monitoring the output. Activating another scrub program, she was able to take a break and open up her omnitool.

She began scanning through her videos and games trying to find something to do and one thing caught her eye. The Fleet and the Flotilla, it was a good movie and had something that would comfort her right now. Tali made the screen palm sized and shut off her outside speakers and listened to the movie as the scrub program ran.

Something about the movie always comforted her and helped her just numb away any worries, they just became dust in the solar wind.

Shepard:

Ashley woke up right after takeoff and the first thing she did was take off. She didn't want to be near the crew, Shepard, or anybody. The fact that he picked her over Kaiden upset her to no end. To be honest, Shepard didn't want to be around anyone either.

He had to choose between two people and decide who deserved to die. The worst part however was that he could have prevented losing anyone if Ty would have just told him. Shepard felt his hands clench in anger, he had developed some trust for Ty, some sort of bond but Ty was hiding things from him.

Shepard walked around his room just thinking to himself about it all. Ty told him about what was going to happen on Noveria and it ended up working out but he immediately refused to tell him anything about Feros and Virmire. It was like some force was pushing him and making demands.

Before, Ty had said something about 'the game AI' but what the hell was that? Shepard just brushed these statements off before but now he realized that something was messing with his life and forcing him down a path. Sure the path had many forks and was very wide but Ty knew what was going to happen.

Shepard stopped near his bed and sat down, a weight was falling on his shoulders and getting heavier with each moment. Something or someone was manipulating him and it was just pissing him off. It wasn't Ty, the idiot wasn't smart enough to manipulate an ant, but someone that Ty knew.

Shepard was going to find out, that was for sure.

I know it's a short chapter but I have exactally zero drive to write at all so yeah. On the plus side, the next couple chapters are going to have a lot of Ty in them (he is the main character after all) and I felt there was a need to show you how everyone else was.
