Mass Effect Shepard Rises.
The ride in the elevator to the docks was a quiet one both he and Tali were wrapped up in there own thoughts, what are you doing you practically threw your self at her, but there something really special about her its like we have a connection as though….. As though what john you know you cant describe your feeling. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts he watched as the elevator opened and he saw Wrex, Garrus, Udina and Captain Anderson there to greet him. He walked towards Udina and Anderson " Shepard I have some good news, captain Anderson has agreed to step down as the Normandy's captain she your ship now." Udina said he turned to Anderson "is this true?" he watched as Anderson face betrayed his emotions and sighed " its true Shepard she quiet and fast plus you know the crew." he turned to Udina and glared at him " you cant just do this Udina," he watched as Udina raised a brow " I can and I have shepard now don't go looking for Saren he's long gone, we had reports of geth sightings at Noveria and Feros, we as found out Matriarch Benezia has a daughter by the name of Liara, doctor Liara T'Soni she currently some were in the Artemis tau cluster no solid location so you'll have to go looking for her. Now im afraid I must go but Anderson has been briefed and will tell you anything I may have missed, but one more thing before I go don't do anything rash or foolish you make a mess and im left cleaning it up." with that said he watched as Udina turned and walked towards the elevator. He turned back to Anderson and spoke " this isn't right the Normandy is your ship." Anderson sighed and walked to the railings and leaned over " this isn't how I planned my retirement if im honest but it has to be done just do me a favour please son." he walked to Anderson "anything sir." " take care of yourself and the Normandy she's a fine ship." he nods and salutes " of course sir." he watches as Anderson nods and looks at him " let me just go get my gear, you have visitors anyway." with that he watches as Anderson enters the Normandy.
He turns and walks towards Wrex and Garrus " so guys what's up," he watches as the aliens look at each other before Wrex speaks first " I want to join you," he nods " go on then welcome aboard." he watches as Wrex stomps off towards the airlock. He turns back to Garrus and chuckles " you want to join to" he watches as Garrus eyes light up and his mandible spread into what he guesses is a smile, " yes commander if you wouldn't mind." he gestures towards the airlock " get your scaly ass aboard Mr Vakarian." he watches as Garrus chuckles and salutes " I just got to go see my C-sec boss and tell him im going wont be long," with that Garrus jogs to the elevator and disappears leaving him alone with Tali.
He watches as Tali bounces on her toes she seems transfixed by the Normandy taking in every detail of her sleek design, he places a hand on shoulder and speaks softly almost lovingly " so Tali how's the outside of the Normandy for you?" his hand slides down her arm as she turns and squeals " she looks amazing, just look at the drives on the back I bet she can out run anything in the fleet and look at the lines…." he chuckles at Tali's enthusiasm " well Miss nar rayya would you like to take a look at the inside?" he feels her hand slip into his as she tries to drag him toward the ship " yes now come on you bosh'tet" he chuckles " bosh'tet am I, oh well I need to go back to C-sec" he says playfully and tugs her away from the Normandy " no way we were just there" he laughs " well I forgot we need to pick up a few things" he hears Tali laughter get louder until he realises her face plate is inches away from his and he voice turns into that sultry and sexy voice " john are you playing with a sweet and innocent Quarian?" his breathe hitches as his mind struggles to form any words he feels as Tali leads him back toward the Normandy.
Anderson walked through the CIC with his duffle bag over his shoulder and saluted the crew and his goodbyes once he was in the airlock and the decontamination started and the airlock door opened the sight he saw brought a smile and a tear to his face there playing with Tali was shepard he was laughing, Anderson quickly wiped the stray tear as he though good for you son after all you been through you deserve some happiness. As he got closer he coughed and shepard stopped and smiled " thanks Shepard before I go can I speak to you alone?" he saw confusion spread on Shepard's face as he walked to a quiet spot in the dock and faced him " look im not used to all this stuff john but I want you to know I consider you a son so please remember to look after your self." he hugs john and feel him return it he pulls back and nods and walks towards the elevator and dodges as Garrus walks out toward shepard you always did attract the misfits john this is the start of one hell of an adventure he watches as the group laughs and walks to the airlock out of view.
