Very well Captain, perhaps you would prefer a list nearby restaurants and cafes at which you may -

Please, have a nice day.

A/N:
Thanks to JasonShepardN7 for suggesting Avina. I hadn't thought of doing her before now, and your comment coincided well with this, the 30th Chapter.

Huzzah! 30!

Amazing. A big thank you again, to everyone who's been reading so far. I hope you'll stick with me through the next 30 (could be, who knows?) chapters and beyond.

After the departure from the usual form that we saw in Petrovsky's chapter, I've been wanting to do something similarly unusual, hopefully it's worked well in this case. It's perhaps not as heart-felt as some of the other chapters, but I'd like to think that the references to Shepard being remembered have done the trick. After all, this is all about someone asking after the Commander - who has obviously been immortalised by Avina.

Who is Captain Smith, you might ask? (Or not, maybe you don't care) Only time will tell...

Anyway, I really hope you've enjoyed this instalment, and I hope that it does seem even slightly special. I think we might class it as one of the chapters that's dropped hints to the background that I've been building - so maybe that counts.

I've not much more to say, other than the following: honestly if any of you chaps or chapettes have any burning questions that you want answering, fire away now, and I'll get down to responding as best I can. Anything from the colour of my Shepard's hair to my favourite teletubby (it is, of course, Dipsy).

Stay tuned for the next exciting - and quite possibly tear-jerking - instalment!
