Commander Shepard, Major Kirrahe here.

I wanted to - no, needed to pay my respects.

I was most disheartened to hear of your death, as were many of my friends and associates within STG, and indeed, the Salarian Union.

I. I have found your demise more... difficult to process than one might usually expect from a Salarian.

Especially odd, given just how many people I have lost in this war.

It lingers. I suppose that is becomes we are all grieving you. We have all lost friends, family, comrades - but I believe that every member of this galaxy mourns you.

I remember Virmire - I am sure you do too. It was the first time that I had fought alongside human soldiers. I could not have asked for better reinforcements.

I had hoped, that we would find ourselves in the same "foxhole" before the war's end - our meeting on Sur'Kesh was welcome - but far too brief, even for a Salarian.

It was not to be. But, Commander, it has always been an honour.

I was proud to hold the line, to add my influence to the army that you created.

I have heard that my name is being passed around various high-level entities with the Union, in regards to some new leadership position. I am not sure how comfortable I am with this; should I be made such an offer, I will endeavour to perform whatever duties I am assigned in a manner than you would approve of.

Farewell, Commander Shepard.

Tell Mordin Solus to rest well.

A/N:
Couldn't resist throwing in a quick reference on that last line, although it was better in the draft.

Hope you all enjoyed this one as well, I've been looking forwards to Kirrahe.

Thanks for the feedback on the last chapter's query. As I've carried on writing these, they've begun to fall into a growing continuity. One that I'm quite eager to build on, in fact.

In terms of my retcon musings/moanings... I'm giving some thought to who might have survived, and how I can justify those...

What I will say is that I am going to try and put some entries together for Mordin, Thane, Legion and Anderson at least.

I'm not 100% sure what form they will take, but given Petrovky's format, I'm quite interested in trying more unconventional styles of delivery.

However they show up, though, it won't be until I'm done with the living.

To answer a couple of questions:

Traynor, Balak (really looking forwards to writing him) "D&D", Kelly Chambers, the Quarian Admirals and the Councillors are all planned, along with several others.

Okay, this is threatening to be longer than the chapter itself, so I'll try and wrap up.

Next up is Steve Cortez, who will be rounding off this wave of four. I'm also going to have a couple more questions in that entry, so enjoy the feelings of anticipation/apathy (delete as appropriate) while you wait.

Let me know your thoughts! My mind-scanners are broken.

-Nevery.
