Garrus was about to go ask Joker for advice about human romance when EDI informed him to get ready for a mission on Tuchanka to help Grunt.
"Tuchanka? How the hell did she get permission for us to get on Tuchanka?" He asked himself, confused.
He met up with Jane and Grunt at the shuttle and decided to ask her about it.
"So how did we get permission to land on Tuchanka?"He asked.
"Well, we kinda just told them we had an overly aggressive krogan who happens to be tank bred and needed advice on him. I wasn't told who was the chieftain, but to see them when we get there. They seemed both appalled and curious about a tank bred krogan." She told him.
"Huh, I wonder who it is? Normally non krogans are never allowed on Tuchanka. Not like it'd be a good vacation spot anyways." Garrus replied as they reached Tuchanka.
When they landed, they were instructed to go straight to the chief.They made their towards where they were told he would be and as they got closer, they recognized a familiar face.
"Holy shit! Is that Wrex?!" Jane exclaimed excitedly, then ran towards him. She was stopped by a krogan who told her the chief was in a meeting and she'd have to wait. Garrus saw her trying to get past him while Wrex looked annoyed at the krogan he was meeting with. All of a sudden, they heard Wrex yell out Jane's name and told the krogan to get out of his way as he pushed him and walked towards them. Jane asked the guard if that was good enough and pushed him aside. Damn, she has guts. Garrus thought with a smile. Wrex gave her a hug and said he thought she was dead and exclaimed that he should've known the void couldn't keep her. He then asked what she was doing there and she told him that there was something wrong with Grunt. Wrex looked him over then said there was nothing wrong with him, that he just needed to go through his rite of passage. He explained every krogan went through it when they came of age. He offered to let Grunt take the rite for the Urdnot clan. Jane asked Grunt if he wanted to and Grunt agreed. Wrex told them where to find the shaman that would tell them where to go and do.
When they got to the shaman, he explained that the rite consisted of trials to test a krogan's strength. Just then, Gatatog Uvenk, the krogan who was arguing with Wrex earlier interrupted them. He argued that Grunt shouldn't be allowed to participate in the rite since he was tank bred. Garrus saw Jane was starting to get annoyed with him as she told him that Grunt had every right to participate and the shaman agreed with her saying something about Grunt smelling "like a krogan". Uvenk then said something about invoking a denial and claimed his krantt stood against him and Grunt had no one.The shaman looked annoyed but said he had to agree with Uvenk's request. Jane asked what a krantt was and the shaman told her it was someone willing to fight for a krogan, to kill in their name and honor. Jane didn't even hesitate and said she'd be Grunt's krantt. Uvenk started shouting that aliens didn't know true strength and started going on about his krogans being "true krogan", when Jane just walked forward and headbutted him.He yelled at her, saying how dare she then shoved her out of his way while the shaman laughed and said he liked her. Garrus saw her rub her head momentarily, before they followed the shaman to the rite site.
They easily took care of the enemies during the rite, although the thresher maw took some work. Garrus still couldn't believe they managed to take one down without the Mako. He shuddered for a moment, remembering how many times he thought Jane would kill them with her driving. Just as they were about to head back to the Urdnot compound, Uvenk showed up. Well, this can only end badly. He thought to himself. Uvenk started telling them it was impressive that they had brought down the thresher and that no one had done it since Wrex during his rite. Then he asked if there was any Alien meddling in his creation or if it was just Okeer. Garrus could tell that Jane wasn't buying it after she asked Uvenk what his game was. He started going on that Grunt would command respect after his rite victory. Grunt asked him what he was talking about and he said it was a reason to accept him, then again referred to him as a mistake but said he could tip the balance of the clans. Grunt just replied that Uvenk had insulted his father and Jane, then scoffed at the fact he now wanted him because he's strong. Uvenk ignored his anger and said he'd have restrictions, that he couldn't breed or serve on an alien ship, that he'd be clan in name. Jane then called Uvenk out on only wanting Grunt for his power and that he didn't really want Grunt in his clan. Uvenk agreed and said he didn't want to cooperate with Urdnot either but he had to for his clan. Jane then told him that if she knew Grunt, that he'd answer with his shotgun. Grunt agreed with her then bull rushed at Uvenk. They ran for cover as Uvenk and his men started shooting at them. They soon took them out and made their way back to the compound. Wrex remarked on them beating his record and made Grunt an official member of clan Urdnot. Garrus saw Jane quietly say something to Wrex with a smile while he smirked as he replied back to her. I wonder what that was about? Knowing those two, I'll know soon enough whether I want to or not. Garrus chuckled to himself before they went back to the Normandy.
"Vakarian, grab some of that dextro stuff for you and Tali to drink and meet me at the shuttle bay." Jane said as she randomly popped her head into the Main Battery.
"What? The shuttle bay?" He asked, surprised.
"Yeah. We're hanging out with Wrex tonight. He promised me some Ryncol." She said with a smile.
"You wanna drink Ryncol? On Tuchanka?" He questioned her. Nothing scares this woman, he thought to himself.
"Yup. Meet ya in 10." She said with a smile and ran off.
Garrus was surprised when he showed up to the shuttle bay and saw Tali, Joker, Grunt, Zaeed, Kasumi, Jacob, Mordin, and even Miranda and Samara waiting with Jane.
"I'm surprised so many are willing to go to Tuchanka." Garrus told Jane.
"I'm only coming along to make sure Shepard survives her night out. We did just bring her back." Miranda spoke up.
"There's no way I'm going to miss seeing Wrex. I have to thank him for those shotgun pointers a couple years back!" Tali exclaimed.
When they arrived, EDI came on their comms to inform them after the defeat of the thresher maw, they had received several offers for breeding for Grunt and even one for Jane.
''Uh, I'll pass..." Jane groaned while everyone else laughed.
Later they all were sitting around, drinking and talking. Garrus decided to sit with Joker away from Jane so he could ask for advice.
"So, well, me and Jane have decided to give things a try." He told Joker.
"Ha! The turian finally got the quads to ask out the lady commander." Wrex shouted as he joined them.
"Well, technically she asked me..." Garrus replied.
"Of course, she did. That woman always did have quads. I heard about her headbutting Uvenk. Never been prouder." Wrex chuckled.
"About time you two got together. You were both driving me nuts." Joker chuckled.
"Sorry. But I'm not quite sure how to go on with... being intimate with a human." Garrus admitted to them.
"Don't look at me. Humans aren't my type. Too squishy." Wrex said.
"Whoa! I don't know why you're asking me. I'd break almost every bone in my body if I tried that." Joker told him.
"There must be something. I don't want to embarrass myself and ruin the moment." Garrus said as he took a drink.
"Um, well I do have some vids. But you can't tell anyone." Joker lowered his voice.
"Heh, of course you do." Wrex chuckled as he downed the Ryncol in his cup.
"Well, we can't all be chieftains of a clan." Joker sulked as he took a drink. "I will get some to you once we're back but let's stop this conversation for now."
"Yeah. I'm gonna go talk with the others." Garrus said.
"Don't forget to give our lady commander a kiss goodnight." Wrex laughed. Garrus just ignored him with a smile and went to see what Zaeed was doing.
