This chapter never saw the light of day, and maybe it will someday, but not now. I shall explain why briefly:
The file became corrupted and when I want onto it, all the text was invisible. I had tried every measure to make it reappear, but nothing has worked and I AM DEFINITELY NOT rewriting over 10,000 thousand words of writing and detail, especially for a chapter that is mostly filler; its literally just dialogue.
So, instead of redoing the chapter, I'm going to skip it and move on.
Summary of Chapter: Shepard and Tali arrive on Normandy and dock with the Rayya with Miranda, Garrus and Kasumi, with Shepard wearing his brand new Terminus Armor. Kar'Danna turns up with a squad of marines, under order from Raan to escort them to the Arena; Garrus, Kasumi and Miranda returning to the ship.
They arrive, Raan punishes Shepard, breaking his nose again and rants to Tali about keeping her safe, before Tali calms her down and explains the mission against the Collectors, returning to the ship as they do, with Peta watching from a distance and plotting to use his skills as a mechanic to kill Shepard, disappointed in learning that the vote for the next admiral was cancelled.
Shepard offers a tour of the Normandy for the admirals and they inspect the vessel; that's basically it. I'm sorry guys, and I know how lazy it sounds, but I simply cannot rewrite it all AGAIN. But I will, maybe when Requiem is finished and Holocaust has started, will go back and rewrite this, or maybe I'll wait until the whole series is down, but I will rewrite it, mark my words.
Thank you for your understanding and I hope you look forward to Chapter 13.
