Recap: Shepard and Wrex had a little spar which put both of them in the med bay with no real winner.

Now

The whole crew had just moved Wrex and Shepard into the med bay. Everyone was talking about the spar excitedly since they had never seen any human battle an experienced krogan barehanded before. The squad also had various reactions to the spar.

Ashley was a shocked at Shepard. She knew he was tough, but she didn't think he could take on a krogan with just his bare hands, a few biotics and his omni-tools.

Garrus had believed that Shepard would be dominated by Wrex easily without his weapons. So it was a big shock that Shepard had not only fought on par with the krogan, but pushed him to a draw. Shepard obviously wasn't a normal human.

Kaidan wasn't really sure who would win, so he wasn't affected as much as everyone else. He did make a mental note of asking Shepard to teach him that Neural Shock Charge on his omni-tool. He could really use something like that if he ever lost his new pistol that Shepard gave him. Looking back at it, he couldn't help but smile at how much Shepard spent so they could be kept safe in a fight with the expensive armor and mods.

Tali was very worried when she saw Shepard get manhandled when he got caught the first time. She got more worried when he started bleeding from his forehead and when he passed out... well poor Tali was paralyzed with worry for a second. Now she was watching Dr. Chakwas work on the 2 of them.

Liara was right beside Tali as she stared at Shepard. When he pushed and punched Wrex back at the last part of the fight, she noticed he used more power than he displayed previously. Granted she's only known him for a few hours, but in that time she found out he was an incredibly powerful biotic despite going into other ways of fighting. But at the last part of the fight, when Shepard started pushing Wrex back barehanded, she could have sworn that Shepard's biotic abilities reached new heights briefly.

Wrex woke up a little after everyone managed to haul him toward the med bay. When Shepard used his biotics at that last second, he could have sworn Shepard had changed into a different person for a split second from the look in his eye. That look was one that said 'I will defeat you!' Wrex couldn't help, but admire Shepard's strength and cunning in the fight. In the end he knew, if Shepard's Neural Shock had not deactivated he would have won. He, and everyone else, then noticed that Shepard started to stir.

Shepard slowly got up. The bleeding cut on his forehead and his bruises had healed nicely thanks to his genetic tailoring as well as the medi-gel Chakwas placed on it. Shepard was inwardly reflecting on the fight. He knew he was going to have to improve when Wrex had caught him the first time. The second time, he had let himself get caught so he could get in close and see how his genetic augmentations worked. Not only fast his accelerated healing part of it, he also had a denser bone structure if that head-butt was any indication. A normal human would have been knocked out at the least. The part that had him intrigued though was when his biotics sky-rocketed when he started pushing Wrex back. His genetic Tailoring only made his biotics stronger and easier to control, but it did not do anything like that before. He then thought of what he was feeling when Wrex was starting to overwhelm him. Frustration, anger and...desperation. He then thought of the times his biotics got an increased boost. That time on Akuze when the Thresher Maws came at him. Granted the biotic repulse was powerful, but it wasn't on the scale of being able to push back 3 charging thresher maws at the same time. Then there were those 2 times on Torfan when he came under extreme desperation. The first time when he moved that fast was because he desperately wanted to survive. Then the second time was when he bisected the Slaver Boss, when he desperately wanted things to be finished. Then there was the spar with Wrex. He desperately wanted to win. Each time emotions like frustration, anger and desperation come out his biotics get an astonishing boost. Then he realized it might not be his genetic tailoring causing it, but maybe that structure that surrounds his DNA. He didn't have anymore time to think on it when he noticed Chakwas and his squad was looking over him. He then smiled and started talking.

"Hehehe. Hey guys. Wrex that was an awesome fight." Shepard said feeling much better after resting for a while. Wrex just grinned at him in return. Everyone else was relaxed when he seemed okay. Chakwas warned him to not get into another spar saying it is too dangerous. She didn't let him stay though knowing his genetic modifications took care of any real injuries he had. He then walked toward the CIC, then toward the cockpit. He could hear people whispering about the fight with him and Wrex. When he got to the cockpit he started the conversation.

"Well, it was nice to have an audience for a spar." Shepard said catching Joker's attention. Joker turned around to see Shepard.

"Well I thought, if you were going to have it out with a krogan, might as well have it watched. Shame we couldn't get it on video. We would have made a fortune." Joker said grinning. He then lost his grin and looked at Shepard seriously.

"Are you sure you should be up though? I mean that head-butt at the end should have given you a concussion and knocked you out." Joker said showing his concern for Shepard's well being.

"I'm fine, Chakwas helped me recover fast, how much longer till we get to the Citadel?" Shepard asked.

"We'll be pulling in, in a few minutes. I would suggest you get some armor on, you know since people are looking for you knowing your Ghost now?" Joker stated. Shepard only nodded, rolling his eyes as he walked away. That was one negative thing about going public with his identity now. People were looking for him to either thank him, offer him a job, assassinate him or something else. He then looked back toward the cockpit and noticed the Citadel come into view. He quickly moved towards his room to prepare to go onto the Citadel once again.

A Few Minutes Later

Shepard and his entire squad had just left the Normandy only to be confronted by, in Shepard's opinion, a big annoyance. Shepard's old nemesis, Rear Admiral D-bag... Mikhailovich. As soon as Shepard walked out, he had a scowl on his face. The Rear Admiral wore the same expression as soon as the 2 locked eyes. Everyone else also saw him. Kaidan and Ashley also saw the Rear Admiral and immediately snapped to attention.

"Ten Hut!" Kaidan said with a raised voice, saluting him with Ashley mimicking him perfectly.

"At ease." Mikhailovich said with a salute of his own. Shepard didn't move from his spot, neither did the other aliens who looked on in interest.

"It has been some time since we last seen each other huh, Rear Admiral?" Shepard finally said with a false smirk.

"Not since Elysium, Ghost. Should I reintroduce myself?" Mikhailovich said looking irritated at Shepard.

"Just for the sake of my crew being in the dark it would probably be best." Shepard said with his arms crossed.

"Very well. I am Rear Admiral Mikhailovich. I command the 63rd scout flotilla. The Normandy was suppose to go to my unit after the shakedown run on Eden Prime. Then the Council got there paws, claws, tentacles whatever. They got them on our ship." Mik (I'm calling him Mik because that name is too much) said.

"Sorry to hear that." Shepard said not really caring if the guy was mad at the way things were handled.

"I don't begrudge the politicians' decision too hand you over to the Council. In fact it's better that way, with you out of the Alliance's hair, we can get back to more important things." Mik said smugly at Shepard.

"It was my understanding that I wasn't given to anyone at all. Not that I was anyone's to give anyway. And last I checked, the Alliance was the one trying to get me, not the other way around." Shepard said smirking as the smug look on Mik's face went off. Mik had been one of the more vocal alliance officials in calling Ghost to be brought in and placed under arrest for being a lose cannon, instead of being recruited. Even went so far as suggesting that they hunt Ghost down. The Alliance Brass overruled it since they saw Ghost's potential. Now that Ghost was humanity's first human spectre though, Mik couldn't do anything now. All he could do was the reason why he was here in front of the ship now.

"Be that as it may, I do begrudge over-designed piece of tin though." Mik said stating his reasons for being here. Shepard looked at the man for a few seconds before he turned to his crew.

"Why don't you guys go walk around and see the sights while I talk with the Rear Admrial here." Shepard said in an even tone. They all nodded and left in the elevator. Everyone knew when Shepard's tone was like that, there was no argument to make at all. As soon as they left, Shepard looked directly at Mik with serious eyes.

"Mind explaining why you are really here and why you found it appropriate to insult my ship like that." Shepard said in his cold tone, which startled Mik for a second before he answered.

With Everyone in the elevator

The ride down was quiet until Wrex spoke up.

"So since I've fought with Shepard I've been wondering, who would win in a fight with Shepard? Alenko and Tali or Shepard?" Wrex asked mildly curious. The 2 mentioned looked a little affronted by the sudden question.

"Why would I get into a fight with Shepard? I've met the guy several times before. I can't imagine having to fight him." Kaidan said. Wrex looked at him strangely.

"You can't? That's why Shepard would win." Wrex said.

"Do krogan size up everyone for a fight, even their friends and allies?" Tali asked looking at Wrex.

"Yes." Wrex responded nonchalantly with a shrug.

"You know, I'm surprised your willing to fight krogan Wrex. I thought you'd stand with your own." Kaidan said thinking about what Tali said.

"Yeah, aren't the krogan just a few generations away from extinction?" Garrus said jumping in. Wrex zeroed in on him

"You don't get it. For all your talk of honor and pride, the turians never had to test their principles in a real struggle. Besides, anyone who fights us is either stupid or on Saren's payroll. Killing the latter is business. Killing the former is a favor to the universe." Wrex finished. The elevator finally beeped as it finished its decent and opened up allowing them to leave. They walked out and went in different directions looking around.

Back with Shepard and Mik.

"I'll be blunt, Ghost. I don't like you, I don't like the way you do things and I most certainly don't like how you are humanity's first spectre." Mik said not holding back.

"Trust me the feeling's mutual, I wasn't asked. I was chosen more like." Shepard said not liking this guy at all.

"Anyway, as for the Normandy, she's a gimmick, Ghost. Useless in a stand up fight." Mik said ignoring Shepard's response. Shepard on the other hand was doing everything he could to keep himself from strangling the guy. He may have not been in charge of the Normandy for long, but she was a fine ship, not a damn gimmick.

"This... experiment, diverted billions from our appropriations bills. For the same price we could have had a heavy cruiser, but no we had to make nice with the turians. Throw money in a co-developed boondoggle." Mik continued.

"Are you here just to throw insults at her, cause I could've can gone ahead with my team instead of listening to this." Shepard said with his patience wearing thin with this guy.

"Fine, I'm here to make an inspection, Ghost. Normandy is an Alliance Warship. I intend to see that she is up to snuff." Mik said with the authority of his station. Shepard thought for a moment before he moved aside and stuck out his arm towards the Normandy's entrance.

"Go ahead, Admiral. She and her crew don't have much to hide." Shepard said with confidence.

"I'll just bet. Wait here I won't be long." Mik said as he walked towards the Normandy.

An hour later

Shepard was waiting outside on the dock for Mik's inspection to end. He then heard the his of a door and noticed it was the elevator. His crew had come back. They all walked out and noticed he was standing where they had lost saw them.

"Shepard why are you still here?" Kaidan asked.

"The Rear Admiral was here to inspect the Normandy. I figure, he is almost done with it. How was the trip?" Shepard said. He got varying reactions from a shrug to a great. Then he heard the Normandy's door hiss open and saw Mik walking out.

"How was it?" Shepard asked.

"Ghost, I'm not happy." Mik said. Everyone was now watching what Shepard would do in response.

"Anything in particular?" Shepard said.

"Who designed that CIC? Putting the commander aft everyone else is inefficient. What if the he needs to discuss with the operators toward the bow?" Mik asked not really thinking Shepard would answer right.

"From what information Anderson sent me, as well as Udina, the Normandy's CIC is modified turian style. They prefer commanders looking over their subordinates rather than in the middle of them. They wanted to see how effectively they can command with that setup." Shepard having read all the information he was sent, even the research he did on anything else relevant. Everyone else looked at him not knowing he took the time to actually read up on it.

"Hmm. Reasonable goal, but they should have studied that in a lab rather than a frontline warship." Mik said noticing the positives to the design. Mik then decided to test Shepard's knowledge on things.

"I had to shake my head at that drive core of yours. 120 billion credits of element zero to make this thing able to move without giving itself away. You do realize that we could make drive cores for 12 thousand fighters with that money? What good is it to hide for a few hours anyway? Useless." Mik said watching Shepard's reaction. He was surprised when he saw Shepard subtly think over his response before answering.

"We can loiter in an enemy system and monitor traffic or drop infiltration teams on enemy worlds. I believe the Normandy can be more effective than the Salarian STG." Shepard having thought over any strategies to use on a long and large term scale. Everyone could see his logic in it and were starting to wonder if Shepard may have had military training.

"Maybe, maybe. But that's not the job of a proper warship. We are supposed to find and kill the enemy fleet. Not count how many times their garrison goes to the bathroom." Mik said.

"Perhaps, but thinking of the larger meaning. On Torfan, that stuff would've come in handy. Perhaps so many lives, Alliance lives, might not have been lost if we had something like the Normandy back then." Shepard reasoned, knowing Mik had to have at least read the reports.

"Fair enough. But we really need to talk about your crew, Ghost." Mik said looking at his squad now. He then continued looking at each one of them as he called out their species.

"Krogan? Asari? Turians?! What are you thinking Ghost? You can't allow alien nationals free access to Alliance equipment!" Mik said, berating Shepard. Everyone, including Kaidan and Ashley were about to speak up when Shepard beat them too it.

"Between Saren and the Geth, I would think you have enough enemies out there. Treating other species with suspicion and distrust won't win hearts and minds." Shepard responded.

"That assumes hearts and minds are worth winning. That hasn't been proven yet." Mik retorted.

"Actually it has. The turian, Garrus Vakarian? He's worked on the mako, calibrating the cannon on it, improving it by a large margin then when he came on board. Not only that he has spent time with our pilot giving him tips on turian flight patterns as well as responses. The krogan, Urdnot Wrex? He hasn't broken a single thing. In fact he has been instrumental on the ground team, and while off duty he has been giving tips on weapon maintenance to other members of the crew or things that they could encounter in the galaxy later on. The quarian, Tali'Zorah nar Rayya? Chief Engineer Adams, as well as the rest of the engineering team, have had nothing but high praise for her ever since she joined. The asari, Liara T'soni? She has yet to prove herself, but I've got a gut feeling that she won't disappoint when the time comes. Lieutenant Alenko and Chief Williams have also been a big help both on and off the Normandy. If I had to pick any humans to have my back they would be at the top of the list. You don't believe me, ask any of the other crew." Shepard stated. Everyone he had mentioned looked on with shock and a small amount of pride. Shepard had really put a lot of faith in them to say all of that. Mik looked at him for a few seconds and saw his resolve. Now it was time for the final one.

"Then there is you." This caused the entire squad to look at him before he continued, "You are not Alliance, do you even remember what color your blood is? I find it very troubling that some mercenary is humanity's first spectre in all of this." Shepard looked at him for a few seconds before he smirked.

"You may not like me, that's fine. You stay true to your beliefs and I will stay true to mine. All my life when the word Spectre came up, I would hear things like: secret agent, hero, protector. I finally heard the ones who make the spectres, describe what a spectre is: Someone who is the embodiment of courage, determination and self-reliance. Someone who protects everyone. Maybe they chose me because I'm currently the only human who has the most of all of those, maybe they made me one to keep an eye on me. Chances are I won't be one for long. I'm not Alliance, but I am human. Human has many definitions including imperfect, but compassionate. With me, I'm honest about my beliefs. What you see, is what you get." Shepard said truthfully. Mik saw how Ghost's crew was looking at Ghost: With the admiration and respect only veterans could get. Mik could see now that maybe Ghost wasn't so bad if he wasn't so hung up on him being non-alliance.

"Do you have anything else to say, Ghost? Any other justifications for the state of this vessel?" Mik said ready to end things.

"I think the Normandy is a fine ship, Rear Admiral, even if you disagree. You have to see her joint construction and multi-racial crew make the Alliance look better." Shepard said with full confidence.

"Your job is to look good, Ghost. The Alliance Navy's, is to win wars. I'm not convinced Normandy isn't a waste of taxpayer money, but I am convinced that you believe otherwise and that you will use it to it's best ability." Mik said with a small smirk. He then said, "I will be submitting a report to the Joint-Military Council. It will not be as negative as I had planned. Good hunting Ghost. Do humanity proud." Mik said as he walked off. Shepard then looked at his squad and noticed their looks.

"What?" Shepard asked. All them did was just shake their heads and mutter nothing. Shepard looked at them for a second before giving up.

"Okay, then listen up. I'm going to go look around and buy a few things. Then I'll be back on the Normandy if any of you are out I'll send a message saying we're leaving. Be back within the hour of that message." Shepard said as he walked toward the elevator. As he rode the elevator down he heard of a missing survey team that dropped out of contact on Trebin, in the Hades Gamma Cluster. He thought of checking it out when he had time. At least the elevators were faster than the Normandy's. The elevator stopped finally and opened up allowing him to walk out. As he walked out he heard someone speak.

"Excuse me are you Ghost?" Shepard heard some lady with a camera say by the elevator as he walked out. He turned to the unknown woman.

"Who's asking?" Shepard said cautiously.

"Khalisah bint Sinan Al-Jilani, Westerland News. Would you answer a few questions for our viewers?" Khalisah asked. Something about this woman had the hairs on Shepard's neck standing on end, he couldn't say no cause she might use it against him. Time to play along for now.

"What sort of questions?" Shepard asked evenly.

"People have heard wild stories about you Ghost. I can give you the chance to set the record straight. What do you say?" She said trying to goad him into it. Shepard knew he had to be careful with this one.

"So long as you understand that I can't answer all of them." Shepard warned her. She smiled in return.

"I'm sure our viewers will understand." she said before she turned on her camera. She then began speaking into a mic, "Humans have been trying to get the respect of the galactic community for 26 years. With that in mind, what are your feelings on being the first human Spectre?"

"I keep in mind that it's just another duty to people everywhere. The difference being now it's more public." Shepard said neutrally.

"But there is a difference between human interests and Citadel interests. Have you encountered any situations where the Citadel asked you to place its needs before the needs of Earth?" She asked. Shepard was starting to get the feeling that this woman was gunning for something specific.

"The Council is concerned with the needs of the whole galactic community. We're part of that community now. Our needs are on that agenda, but we are one of many." Shepard said disarmingly.

"You really do believe that don't you? You've been given command of an advanced human warship for your missions. Is there anything you'd like to say about it?" She continued. That first comment set of some alarms in Shepard's head.

"Actually, the Normandy was co-developed by human and turian engineers. Its design incorporates many innovations, all of which are classified I'm afraid." Shepard said watching her reaction. She seemed like she was trying to find a way to get him to mess up.

"So the turians have knowledge of the Normandy that is being kept secret form the Alliance public? Do you think it was appropriate to hand Earth's most advanced warship over to the Citadel?" She asked, her annoyance starting to show.

"I wasn't aware it had been handed over to anyone. I'm in command and last I checked, I'm human. Same goes for my crew." Shepard said, rebuffing her. Khalisah looked very annoyed, but had enough control over her voice to make herself sound neutral.

"Human yes, but you do work for the Citadel now, Ghost." She said thinking she got the upperhand. She then continued, "One last question Ghost. Rumors back home say you're tracking a 'rouge spectre' named Saren. Do you have any comment on that?" She asked hoping to get something. Shepard wouldn't let that happen.

"I'm afraid I can't talk about my current assignment." Shepard said evenly.

"Don'y worry, we'll find out. Remember Ghost, the eyes of Earth are watching you. Don't let us down. Thank you for your time, Ghost." she said as she walked away. Shepard was hoping he came off well enough. Shepard then continued toward the Spectre Requisition Officer and asked for another set of Light Colossus X armor for a female and another Karpov Pistol X to be sent to the Normandy. Shepard then walked towards Flux hoping to get a drink and play some slots. When he got there he went straight towards the slot machines. He played for a bit and won around 5,000 credits till the owner looked at him and told him to show what he was using to cheat. Shepard let the guy and the bouncers search him as long as they didn't touch the weapons. He warned them that if they touched his weapons, he would hurt them. One bouncer thought he was bluffing. The second he touched Shepard's rifle, Shepard grabbed 2 of the guy's fingers and flipped him over and held the guy's fingers at a painful angle, almost at the point of breaking. The owner then said he checked out knowing he couldn't have anything on him. Shepard then walked over to where the more high stakes game was when he noticed something strange about the machine in the far back. He quickly scanned it and found out it was funneling credits to some where on Citadel. Shepard moved to leave when he noticed some girl was complaining to the barkeep about her sister. Shepard then caught of c-sec being involved and decided to inquire further.

"Sorry I'm kind of busy right now. So what can I do for you?" The woman said.

"What were you discussing with the volus?" Shepard asked.

"Who Doran? I was just asking him about my sister. She worked for Doran before she left to.. sorry i don't want to bore you with my problems." She said.

"I'm interested to hear what you have to say." Shepard replied smoothly.

"Well, okay. My sister Jenna, left here to go work at Chora's Den. The problem is, she's working as an informant for c-sec. You know, spying on the people there. If they find out what she's doing, they'll kill her." she said worriedly.

"I would think that c-sec would be protecting her." Shepard said with an eyebrow raised.

"They can't watch her all the time. I don't know. Sometimes I think she just stays there to spite me." she said.

"Do you know her c-sec contact?" Shepard asked, thinking over the whole situation.

"No, it's all very secret. Last time I asked a c-sec officer he told me to stay out of it 'for Jenna's safety'." she replied looking more and more worried.

"Look, I might be able to convince her just how dangerous Chora's Den is. It might not work though." Shepard said.

"Would you please? That'd be great. Just don't tell her I sent you." she said smiling now.

"Yea of course." Shepard said as he walked off. Shepard then made his way to Chora's Den through the markets only to run into a fan. The fan's name was Conrad Verner. He seemed nice at first if a little strange. Shepard quickly realized that this guy was very naive, if a little fanatical. Especially when he asked for a picture after the autograph. When he started asking if Shepard could get him into the spectres. Shepard could see that Conrad was definitely strange, but he had his heart in the right place. Usually most fanatics have that weird psychotic grin with the matching laugh, but Conrad was innocent enough. Shepard let him down gently saying he can help Shepard but by staying home. Conrad got the message and thanked Shepard for setting him straight, then left. Shepard then continued to go downstairs and through the other half of the markets. He had gotten to the point between the markets and Chora's Den when he ran into a unexpected person.

"Hey Shepard! I didn't know you were on Citadel. Haven't seen you since that party on Omega!" The man said. Shepard couldn't help but groan at the man in front of him.

"Hello Chun." Shepard said in an even tone. The man, Jackie Chun, was of chinese decent and was of small stature who knew how to blend in with almost any crowd it was scary. Chun liked to do a lot of messed up things including drugs, hookers, and a whole lotta other dumb stuff. Chun was currently wearing a white morning suit with a black undershirt, black belt with matching polished black leather shoes and black sunglasses and to top it off, he had black hair combed to the side and back making him look more refined. Shepard could only respect three things about Chun. 1) He dressed very sharply. Always had a nice suit he could where almost anywhere. 2) His uncanny ability to blend in almost any crowd. The only way he could find Chun in a crowd would be with a tracker or the crowd would have to be mostly aliens, even then it might not work. Finally 3) Chun's biotic prowess. He wouldn't look it, but the guy is one of the more decent criminal lords of Omega. Since Chun even though he does have smuggling operations all over galactic space, he mostly deals in drugs, Red Sand specifically. He would always have at some of the products. As a result Chun became a really messed up biotic crimelord. He and Shepard met by going after the same person. Shepard, as Ghost at the time, was going after the guy because he had info on the slaver operations. Chun was after the man because he was one Chun's top lieutenants who betrayed Chun's organizations to a rival gang, who happened to deal with slavers. When the 2 men met, they formed an alliance to get the man since he was proving to be elusive. Ghost had stated his conditions on the alliance: the man had to give the information on slavers. Chun agreed wholeheartedly as long as the man was left alive afterwards so he could get in on the action. As soon as they caught the man, they both took him to a high rise area of Omega with the best view. There, Chun saw how good Ghost was at fear and torture. Chun watched on with a mix of fear and admiration as Ghost had acted with the prisoner. Ghost first acted with an admiration of the view, saying it was one of the only few places where Omega actually looked beautiful. Then Ghost used his favored Honest Drop Game. When the guy didn't crack, Ghost then resorted to a painful neural shock on the poor guys crotch. Unfortunately the guy still didn't sing (the info) Ghost finally resorted to his last one he explained to Chun that the neurotoxin he was going to use would increase the man's fear levels, but with the side effect of making him go into cardiac arrest. Chun was highly amused and intrigued that he didn't want to jump in and only watch, so he gave the go ahead. Ghost finally got his information, Chun looked like he was on an amusement high and the man well... you know.

Chun asked what Ghost would do now. In response Ghost explained he would hit the gang until he found records. Chun cracked a maniacal grin and said he would help. After the massacre Ghost and Chun had developed a respect for each other. Afterwards, Chun invited Ghost for celebratory party. Ghost accepted only to regret it later on. Now the party was awesome don't get him wrong. Drinks, women, drugs whatever you wanted. Ghost had taken a drink and... that was all he could remember the next day. Shepard didn't have his mask on, which scared the hell out of him until Chun had walked over to him and gave it to him. Chun told him not to worry. Only he had seen his face no one else did. He wasn't going to tell anyone for a few reasons. When Shepard asked what they were Chun responded snickering, "Two reasons: One, you doing good work and Two your too much fun, I like you." After that Shepard would only have one drink at Chun's parties and Chun would occasionally hook Shepard up with some info or resources. Eventually to Chun, Shepard had become the man's best friend. Shepard was someone he could trust his secrets and stuff with. Chun also knew Shepard had secrets he would never tell anyone. And he was right, while he didn't know about Shepard's love life, Shepard did have things he wouldn't tell even Isaac. But now getting back on track.

"So where you been, what you been up to, why you not call?" Chun fired, walking beside Shepard as he made his way to Chora's Den.

"Eh all over, fighting and saving people, haven't had the chance." Shepard said having been used to Chun's mannerisms for years now.

"Ah its fine. Listen you need anything for help, come ask me." Chun said wanting to help Shepard, knowing he was going to need it. Shepard stopped for a second then looked at Chun.

"You know, is it possible you could wire me some stuff to my ship?" Shepard asked quietly.

"Depends on the stuff." Chun replied. Shepard slipped a list of things to him. Chun took a moment to look over it before he nodded.

"I can have it all delivered in an 3 hours." Chun said.

"Perfect. Thanks Chun." Shepard said. Chun smirked and nodded then walked away. Shepard then walked into Chora's Den. When he walked in he saw Jenna and made his way to the bar where she was. She noticed he wasn't normal and talked with him. Shepard tried to convince she proved to be too stubborn. Shepard then left, but before a turian bumped into him.

"If you've got questions about Jenna, meet me at c-sec HQ." the turian whispered. Shepard pretended not to notice and walked off. Shepard continued to keep walking when his omni-tool blinked and someone's voice came out.

"Shepard? This is Lieutenant Girard. There's a woman here, uh... She was rescued from batarian slavers a few weeks ago. She's from Mindoir. I guess she was taken in the raid on your town." He suddenly heard from his comm link. That shocked him. Someone else from the colony was alive. Did he know them?

"You mean she was in the raid that killed my mother." Shepard said in a hollow voice.

"Yes sir. Sorry sir." Girard said.

"She escaped from us and manged to grab a gun. She says she wants to die. I hoped you'd talk to her. It's a long shot, but you went through the same thing, the raid. I figured maybe you could talk her out of her tree." Girard said hopeful. Shepard was still shell-shocked by the whole thing. Someone else was alive?

"I'm not sure I can help, but I'll try." Shepard not really thinking he can make the impact needed.

"I'll send word Shepard. Thank you. I didn't want to have to- you know. She's been through too much already." Girard said. Shepard mentally agreed with the man as he logged off.

"Great. I should really stop helping people. It's starting to pile up." Shepard muttered to himself/
