AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Hey guys! First of all, innumerable apologies for missing the deadline yet again, a lot of shit went down in my life, mainly fuckton of exams, papers and presentations along with some personal stuff which kept me from writing, so i'm sorry about that. But, i have kind of made up for it in this chapter, as it contains something special for you guys which i didn't plan to do for atleast 4 more chapters. In this chapter, i altered my writing style a bit, deviating from the game scenes and focusing more on the behind the scenes stuff, it's still a 60:40 ratio, but still its progress.
Thanks again for being patient, and hopefully my experiment turns out to be successful. And to the people who gave me their feedback and comments, your words meant a lot to me, you guys are great. Now, enough with the rant and on with the chapter!!

Was she OK? How bad was she hurt? Will she make it? These questions raced through Shepard’s mind as he made his way into Huerta Memorial Hospital to Ashley’s room where she was being treated, the Cerberus mech did a lot of damage by the looks of it, and her injuries looked serious, he was hoping she would make it. As he was wandering the hallways of the hospital, he met a doctor who told him her situation, she was stable, she made it. Thanking the doctor he entered the room, she was unconscious, her face was heavily bruised, he approached her bed.
“Hey, it’s me. You got pretty banged up there, Williams. Had me worried. I just wanted to check in on you, see how you were doing. Despite all this, it’s good seeing you again Ash. Get some rest okay? I’ll come by when you’re feeling better. We’ll talk. Okay, Ash. Take care.” Shepard said to an unconscious Ashley, quietly.
The doctors came in at that point, ready to carry on with more medical procedures. Shepard exited the room telling the doctors to contact him if they needed anything. He took a moment to clear his head, his friend was alive, she was OK, and that was a relief after seeing her almost crushed to death a few hours ago. Shepard’s omni-tool prompted a message from Liara, the council session was about to begin. He looked back once more, to the door and whispered, “See ya soon”. Making his way to the elevator he punched in the floor to the embassies, he rode in silence, gathering his thoughts, preparing what he was going to say; they had to listen, the Reapers were here and no longer a myth, they were real and already started annihilating the inhabitants of the galaxy, starting with Earth. The elevator prompted that he was on his floor, breaking him out of his thoughts, he started walking towards Odina’s office. Odina wasn’t Shepard’s favorite person, but he was willing to overlook that detail, he had more pressing matters to attend to; upon entering his office, Shepard was informed that the Council was already in session, Udina’s assistant led him to the Council chambers.
“We’ve got our problems, Councilor. Earth is not in this alone.” Shepard heard the Turian councilor say as he made his way to the Council bench.
“But Earth was the first Council world hit, by all reports it faces the brunt of the attack.” Udina justified.
“By your reports, reports which could have been fabricated, we have no way of knowing the authenticity of these.” The Salarain councilor retorted.
Liara shaked her head, even with certain annihilation staring them right in the face, they choose to argue amongst themselves and play politics, they won’t even trust the word of the Shadow Broker.
“The reports are accurate, and I can confirm them. Earth was attacked…by the Reapers. And its just the beginning. Soon they’ll be everywhere in the galaxy and you’ll be getting reports like those from every source you have. We need to stop them and we need your help for that, everything and anything you can spare.” Shepard said as he approached Liara, who was already in debate with the Council prior to his arrival.
“Each of us faces a similar situation. Even now, the Repaers are pressing on our boders. If we lend you our strength to help earth, our own worlds will fall.” The Asari councilor said.
“We must fight this enemy together. We can’t defeat the Reapers alone!” Udina said.
“And so we should just follow you to Earth?” The Salarian councilor asked, incredulously.
The Turian councilor raised his hand, silencing the two arguing councilors.
“Even if we were to unite our fleets, do you really believe we could defeat the Reapers?” The Turian councilor asked, uncertainty evident in his voice.
“I don’t expect you to follow me without a plan” Shepard replied and nodded to Liara, signaling her to present the plans for the Prothean device.
“Councilors…we have that plan, a blueprint, created by the Protheans during their war with the Reapers” Liara began.
“A blueprint for what?” The Turian councilor questioned.
“We’re still piecing it together…but it appears to be a weapon of some sort” Liara said as she pulled up a hologram of the Prothean device on her omni-tool.
“Capable of destroying the Reapers?” Inquired the Salarian Councilor.
“So it would seem”
“The scale is…it would be a colossal undertaking”
“No, I’ve forwarded the plans to Admiral Hackett. The remnants of the human fleet are already gathering resources to begin construction.” Shepard replied.
“Our initial calculations suggest that it is very feasible to build” Liara added.
“If we work together…” Shepard continued.
“Have you considered that the Reapers destroyed the Protheans? What good did this weapon do?” The Asari councilor asked.
“It was never completed, there was a missing component, The Catalyst. The Protheans were destroyed before this weapon could be completed, they ran out of time.” Liara replied.
“Do you really believe this can stop the Reapers?” The Turian councilor asked, they were contemplating it, but still unsure, it was evident in their voices, Shepard could tell.
“Liara believes it can work, and so do I. And while Udina and I haven’t always seen eye to eye, I agree with him on this…we need to stand together. Now more than ever. The Reapers won’t stop at Earth, they’ll destroy every organic being in the galaxy if we don’t find a way to stop them.” Shepard replied.
The councilors were quiet, it was a make or break moment, the support of the Council meant that this war could be won, the races would survive and the Reapers would be no more, but the question still remained, will they help. The Asari and Turian councilors looked at the Salarian councilors, it seemed those two were unsure, the Salarian councilor shook his head, the decision had been made, there would be no help from the Council.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A dark forest, its cold with a fog about, the leaves have fallen leaving the trees barren, they look like fingers coming from the darkness, a monster reaching out; Shepard looks around, a light breeze blows, he hears a child’s laughter, he begins running towards the sound, he sees a faint silhouette of a child playing, he seems familiar, he feels he’s seen him before, but where? As he nears the child he gets up and runs away laughing, Shepard follows and runs after him but he’s slower than the child, he catches up to the boy and then they hear a horrific sound.
A horn, almost like screams from a trillion souls but mechanical, there was an influence of machine in the sound, Shepard had it before and recently. He looked at the boy, fear evident on his face, the innocence that was there, the laughter, was replaced with dread, red lights seemed to flash around, followed by the sound of an explosion. The sound came again, this time much closer and much louder, realization dawned on Shepard, the sound was a Reaper horn, he recognized the child as well, Earth! He had seen the child on Earth, when the Reapers attacked, he got left behind, he was taken out by the Reapers, this was Shepard’s chance of saving him, of making things right. He ran after the boy, but he was moving slower, everything Shepard did was at a slower pace, the Reaper’s were drawing near by the sound of it, the boy was still running trying to outrun the Reapers, he eventually crouched down near a tree. Shepard saw him, just a little more, he thought; giving it all he had, Shepard reached the boy, but as he approached, the boy stood and flames engulfed him, Shepard watched in horror as the boy was completely covered in flames around him, he was too late. No, no, NO! Shepard thought, and then he woke up, it was just a dream.
Shepard got up and sat on his bed, his head in his hands as he attempted to rub the sleep from his eyes and make sense of what he saw in the dream. The guilt was getting to him, the guilt of leaving someone behind, the guilt of losing someone. He didn’t have much time to reflect as someone knocked on the door, it was Liara. She informed him that she had been forwarding information on the Prothean device to the Turian councilor, she also told him that he wasn’t budging until the Primarch had been extracted and was safe. Shepard acknowledged, he expected that to happen, but it was his only chance, and he was willing to take it.
“Are you alright? You don’t look so good, Shepard. What’s wrong?” Liara asked, concerned for Shepard, they had been friends since the start and right now they needed that in their lives.
“I didn’t get what you’d call a good night’s rest, to many…nightmares. So many we have lost, and its supposed to get even worse. So many people back on Earth, when the Reapers hit, I could hear them screaming down in the streets below me, we left a lot of them behind.” Shepard replied.
“There’s no way for you to save them all, but I know you’re doing everything you can and you’ll be back there in time to help”
“I hope you’re right”
“Don’t blame yourself, Commander.” Liara said, it seemed she wanted to say something more as well, but was cut short by the arrival of Communications Specialist Samantha Traynor, causing Liara to conclude their conversation. Comm Specialist Traynor then proceeded to brief Shepard on the retrofits done by the Alliance on the Normandy SR-2.
“And there you are, still the same ship as before except it flies Alliance colors now. Speaking of which… Admiral Hackett would like to speak with you at the vid comm.” Traynor concluded her briefing and left, back to performing her duties, leaving Shepard alone to his thoughts again.
“Well, better not keep the Admiral waiting then.” Shepard said to himself quietly as he got ready for the day and then to the vid comm.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shepard stepped into his quarters, he had just come back from the meeting with Admiral Hackett, they were on their way to Palaven and it would be a few hours before they got there, Shepard had given the order as soon as his meeting had ended. He had some time before he had to gear up, so he sat down on the couch and poured himself a drink, he was still on a little bit of edge after his dream so this drink was something he definitely needed. There was however something, or someone more accurately who could take his mind off of it, someone who could make him forget everything, someone whom he missed badly and desperately needed and had no clue where she was, he needed Tali. Taking a sip, he reclined back on the couch and stared at the bed, despite all the retro fits, the Alliance decided to keep the bed that Cerberus had put on the Normandy, Shepard smirked and then took another sip as he let his mind wander to some very fond memories he had made with Tali on that very bed.
He remembered how shy, how uncertain and vulnerable she was back then, she was a gifted engineer and absolutely deadly on the shotgun, if one observed her in battle or on duty they would never think she was like that. Quarians had weak immune systems and had to live inside suits their whole lives, Tali knew this, and despite that she wanted to be intimate with Shepard, sans suit, feel his skin on hers as she wanted it. Having known each other from the start, they had quite strong feelings about each other, and when Tali had expressed interest in being together Shepard knew he wanted that more than anything. He remembered that night as clear as daylight, when she decided it was time to share herself with him completely, shortly before they went through the Omega-4 relay. Shepard was in his quarters just taking care of some last minute details, when she had entered.
“So…I’ve taken some antibiotics, and some herbal supplements as well that should bolster my immune system, theoretically.” Tali said nervously while she wringed her hands together, the suit making her voice come out as chirpy, like a cross between a cat’s purr and a bird’s chirp.
“I was going to bring music, but I didn’t knew what you’d like…and I’m babbling like an idiot.” Tali was now standing in front of him, she took the datapad from his hands and put it aside on the table, Shepard gave her a small smile, to comfort her.
“It’s OK, come here.” Shepard said softly as they put their arms around each other, he could feel her relax under his touch, but there was still tension.
“I just don’t want to…I want this to work. I thought it over. I’ve minimized the risks, but I’m still nervous. And that always makes me talk too much, it’s a defense mechanism, and its stupid and people who…who just see the helmet can’t see my expression, so I have to make it clear…what I’m…what I’m feeling.” Tali said as she and Shepard moved towards the bed and sat down. A million thoughts rwced through Tali’s mind as Shepard took off her face plate, does he think I’m weird? Does he think I’m ugly? Is he repulsed? Is he scared? But all her fears and concerns vanished as she saw that Shepard was smiling as he looked at her face, he liked her, he liked how she looked, all her nervousness and insecurities vanished and she literally pounced on him as she pinned him to the bed, straddled him and kissed him.
If Tali could read Shepard’s mind, she would find out that her insecurities were for nothing, to Shepard, she was the most beautiful thing he ever laid his eyes on. Tali’s skin had the shade of very light purple with a hint of grey, glowing white eyes, small teeth, she had markings on her neck and collar bone like those of a circuit, and two marks on her temples going from her eyebrows into her hairline. Small ears, like the depiction of elves in old fantasy novels and vids on Earth, and black wavy hair. The strands were thicker than human hair, and her kisses tasted sweet, sweeter than anything he ever tasted. His hands began roaming on her body, outlining her curves over the suit. Tali had wide hips, and long legs, like the hind legs of a giselle or a deer, his hands were now covering her bottom, he couldn’t feel much due to the suit but even then he had an idea that it was very soft and tender.
Tali broke the kiss, they both looked at each other with hooded eyes, Shepard saw the uncertainty again, the nervousness and a little bit of fear. She got up and sat beside Shepard, he got up on his shoulders so he could see her better, what was she doing, he wondered. Tali had removed the helmet she wore with the suit and was now working on opening the buckles so she could take it off. Shepard understood her uncertainty, why she was afraid, her hands were shaking, Shepard stilled her hands with his, stopping her from moving any further, she looked at him, confused.
“Tali, we don’t have to do this, if you’re not comfortable. We don’t have to go any further, if you’re not sure.” Shepard began.
Tali looked into his blue eyes for a moment, and she saw warmth, care, adoration, promise, promise that he’ll protect her no matter what, that he’ll keep her safe, she saw the want, the need, he wanted her, he needed her. She took a deep breath, and began.
“No, I want this Shepard, I’ve thought long and hard about this. I don’t know if we’ll survive this mission, I want to share myself with you before we fly off into the final battle. I want this Shepard, I..I want you.”
Shepard was silent for a few moments, then he sat up, and kissed Tali once again, tenderly, softly, he put all the feelings he had for her into that kiss. They broke apart, and Shepard put her on the bed and removed his shirt. Tali opened the buckles the rest of the way, and was in a position to remove the upper portion of her suit, she took it down to her shoulders and stopped momentarily, Shepard put his hands on hers and removed it the rest of the way, Tali was completely nude from the head till the waist. Shepard got on top and once again started kissing her as his hands caressed her silky soft skin. He started kissing along her jawline to her neck and down to her collarbone, Tali had never felt such a sensation before, she had experience with nerve stimulation programs but the real touch was much more strong. Tali began moaning softly, her three fingered hands running over Shepard’s head, a fire ignited in her core, heat began to pool between her legs, she began to squirm a little to alleviate it a bit. “Oh Keelah, Shepard…that feels…so..g..good” Tali moaned, Shepard’s hands were at her waist, caressing the skin over her taut stomach, outlining her curves and moving their way to her breasts.
Her breasts were on the small-medium side, a medium B cup or a small C cup by human standards, Shepard grabbed one in his hand and gave it a light squeeze, his fingers caressing her nipples. Her nipples were the same color as her skin but a two or three shades darker, an inch and a half in diameter, he gently started teasing one between his fingers causing it to harden and Tali to moan louder. He put the other one in his mouth, as he rans circles around it with his tongue, and gently grazed it with his teeth. Tali grabbed his head tighter, as she pressed it harder to her breasts. Shepard continued this as he switched between breasts, Tali was getting more and more turned on, wetness began to pool between her legs, she was aroused to the point that it was almost painful, she wanted Shepard down there, and as if he read her mind he began moving down her body.
“Oh Keelah…oh, oh…” Tali could only get a word or two out at this point, the pleasure was a bit overwhelming for her. Shepard started taking the rest of the suit off with Tali’s help and kissed all the parts of her now exposed body, Shepard’s touch and kisses were arousing Tali beyond imagination. She was now whispering his name along with her moans, Shepard was now at womanhood, Shepard also learnt another thing about the Quarian anatomy then, the females of both human and quarian species have similar sex organs, Shepard inserted a finger inside her wet folds, eliciting and even louder moan followed by a slight shiver. She was unbelievably wet, Shepard started to move his finger, massaging her insides, picking up speed gradually. It was doing wonders for Tali, but she needed something much more.
“Shepard…Keelah, Shepard…I need…please” Tali was able to get these words out between gasps and moans. Shepard knew what she wanted, removing his fingers, he got up and removed his clothes the rest of the way, Tali did the same with her suit. He got on top of her, stared directly into her eyes, his manhood millimeters away from her folds, asking for permission, even though she practically begged him, he would still ask her, her response was her grabbing his head and putting her lips on his, that was all he needed, slowly he entered her. It was warm, wet, tight inside her. Shepard had been with a few women before but none felt as good as Tali did, he began moving slowly, an inch at first and then gradually increasing length and speed.
Tali had her hands around Shepard’s shoulders and her legs around his waist, she wanted him closer. Shepard had picked up speed and was thrusting inside her furiously, building up to his release, Tali was really close as well, their climaxes were only a few thrusts away.
“Tali…I..I’m close.” Shepard grunted between thrusts.
“Me too…don’t stop…Keelah, Shepard, don’t stop, please.” Tali practically begged him at this point, it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to hold back, but he held back for her, she had to climax first. And then, it happened, Tali’s whole body shook with unbelievable amounts of pleasure, she bit into Shepard’s shoulder as she tried to stifle the screams as her climax hit, the pain from her teeth sent Shepard over the edge as he emptied his seed inside her. Both lay exactly like that, joined together, limbs entangled with each other, trying to catch a breath. Shepard rose on his hands as he looked at Tali’s face, her cheeks looked flushed and her eyes had a twinkle in them, he bent down and gave her a tender kiss.
“Thirty minutes to Palaven, Commander” Shepard’s attention was brought back to reality, as Joker announced their estimated time of arrival over the intercom. Sometime during his flashback, Shepard has freed his cock from the confines of his pants and was stroking it to the memories of their copulation, he got up and cleaned up and then proceeded to get ready. He had gotten some new gear during their visit to the Citadel, and he was eager to try that out. This is it, he thought, time to get that Primarch.
