001 ✰ Arrival
[The face of a man who has seen a brutal battle comes into view, his skin bruised, burnt, bloodied, and what little of his armour can be seen shows how damaged it all is. Dog tags hang around his neck, also tainted with his blood, and he looks somewhat dazed, although clearly in a lot of pain. His breathing is very shallow, short rasps and he looks barely able to be on his feet, but he is.]
My name--aghh! ...My name is Commander Shepard. I'd like an explanation, but first I need to-- [He pauses to take a breath, leaning back against a wall in Avasta Station.] I need a doctor. Someone who knows cybernetics.
[He swallows the knot in his throat, certain some of it is blood he's swallowing, and the worry in his eyes isn't for himself, it's for Earth, for the people left behind, for his crew and his lover, for everyone he doesn't want to see die. He doesn't know if they survived, only that Kaidan and Garrus got pulled out by Joker and the Normandy-- and he curses under his breath that EDI's mobile unit is probably defunct now. At least her AI will be fine and intact on the ship, so they can work on rebuilding a body for her, and for Joker. But then, of course, there was Anderson-- A shock of pain brings him back into this world, however, and he blinks up at the phone in his hand.]
If a-anyone knows where I can find a doctor like that, let me know. Fast. [He cuts the feed to go and hunt down a doctor if there is one.]
