Mass Effect Shepard Rises.

He awoke to a soft snore, he could feel a weight on his right side slowly he opened his eyes to find Tali lightly snoring, he chuckled at the sight causing Tali to stir he watches as two silvery eyes appear and blink a few times then shoot open at the sight of him "oh john sorry I must of fallen asleep," he smiles as her hands dance on her lap and her head is hung low "hey none of that ok?" he sees Tali's eyes narrow and her head tilt to the left in a smile, a awkward silence falls between them and he watches as Tali get nervous again "erm I should go, you know to work" he nods "ok I will see you at breakfast then" he watches as Tali stands and walks off to the elevator. After sitting there for 5 more minutes his Omni-tool beeps and he reads the message commander Liara T'Soni is awaiting you at C-sec head quarters speak the Executor Pallin he sighs and makes his way to the airlock.

After a rather long elevator ride and asking for directions he found himself in the Executor's office "hi spectre I believe I am releasing doctor T'Soni into your custody?" he watches as a somewhat annoyed look crosses Pallin's face " yes I believe I am" he says "she should be here anytime now spectre after that she is you problem" he nods "ok" not long after the door opens and he finds Liara waiting outside, he turns back to Pallin "thanks I should be going now" and with that leaves with Liara following behind. They make there way back to the Normandy "doctor once aboard the ship I will be holding a meeting I want you to be there also I will find a set of armour for you." he says in the elevator "thank you commander but please call me Liara." he nods "ok Liara I am afraid that when aboard you will have to submit to a check up by the ships doctor." he says as they exit the elevator and head towards the airlock "of course commander." after waiting for the decontamination sequence to finish they head inside and he turns to Joker "I want the ground team in the briefing room as soon as possible." he says "you got it commander oh hello blue" Joker says as he notices Liara, "knock it off Joker and set a course for Feros." and with that he turns and leaves with Liara in tow.

He watches as the group walks into the briefing room and sit on the seats arranged around the room, once there all seated he clears his throat " this is doctor Liara T'Soni for those of you who didn't know, she's an prothean expert." with that said he watches as Liara speaks "yes I have spent the last fifty years of my life dedicated to finding out what happened to them." he watches as Ashley leans forward "just how old are you?" he turns back to Liara and watches as a blue tint colours her cheeks "I hate to admit it but I am only one hundred and six."

He hears as Ashley speaks "damn I wish I will look as good as you when I am that age" he sighs and chuckles "anyway back to my original questions, do you know what happened to the prothean's?" he asks "no there is very little of what happened to them." he nods "well your in luck I do." he watches as he face scrunches up "I am sorry commander but I don't think you do, I have heard every theory out there, the problem is finding evidence to support these claims, the Protheans left remarkably little behind, it is almost as If someone didn't want the mystery to be solved. It is like someone came along after the Protheans were gone and cleansed the galaxy of clues." he sighs and rubs his neck as Liara continues to talk "but here is the incredible part, according to my findings the prothean's were not the first to vanish, this cycle began long before." he looks at Liara and says "were did you come up with this theory?"

Its Liara turns to answer again "I have been working on this for fifty years, I have tracked down every track of evidence eventually subtle patterns begin to emerge that hint at the truth, it is difficult to explain to someone else I cannot point to one thing its more of a feeling derived of fifty years of research. But I know I'm right, there was other civilisations before the prothean's this cycle has repeated itself many times before." he nods and a questions pops in his head "if the Protheans weren't the first then who was?" he watches as Liara shakes her head "I don't know there is almost nothing on the Protheans and even little on the ones before, I can not prove my theory but I know I am right, this galaxy is built up on a cycle of extinction the Protheans rose up from a single planet until they ruled the galaxy then they were violently cast down all there technology the citadel, the mass relays there all based on the technology of those before and I have dedicated my life to find out why?" he looks around the room and see confusion in all the other team members "I can help they were wiped out by the Reapers." he says and watches as Liara thinks for a moment "Reapers what proof do you have?" "a beacon on Eden Prime burnt a vision in my mind" he says and watches as Liara nods "yes although they were meant for a prothean mind I'm surprised you were able to make sense of it, you must be remarkably strong willed." he nods "its all a jumble I cant make anything of it" he sees as Liara stands up "still commander you.. You … argh" he watches as Liara sways from side to side and hears as kaidan jumps up and holds onto her arm "when was the last time you ate or slept?" he turns to Liara "Kaidan take her to the med-bay, everyone else check your weapons and armour we will be at Feros tomorrow dismissed," he looks at Tali and holds his hand out to stop her "wait here a moment" he sees her nod and waits for everyone to leave.

Tali is nervous why would john ask her to stay had she upset him by falling asleep on him, when everyone is out she turns to john and her hands dance at her waist "Tali relax only wanted to know if you slept ok" she watches a he smiles "y-yes thank you john." she feels as he takes her hands in his and plays with her fingers "I worry about you Tali." her heart flutters "you don't have to." she feels as his hands slip onto her waist and her hands go to his toned chest feeling the hard muscles there "I worry Tali because I care" she opens her mouth to speak but nothing comes out she reaches down into herself and wills herself to speak "I-I care to john" she feels his big strong arms pull her to him and wrap around her, a silent tear runs down her cheek and she starts to cry "hey hey what's wrong?" she pulls back and looks into his light blue eyes losing herself in them "nothing I'm just happy and I am acting silly." she feels as his hand goes up and down her back "come on lets get some work done and I will meet you for lunch" she nods and leaves the room.
