♁ Nine Reapers Down ⇁ video

[only_mostlydead]

Rations and unrest? [Shepard says while eating a biscuit.] If that isn't a dangerous sign about this war, I don't know what is. [This is mostly sarcastic.] I guess I'd take less food over the plague any day. Got to thank the Sith for that one.

[There's a thoughtful pause as Shepard leans back in her chair in the Captain's Quarters.] If any of you

What happened to Samara?

[Private]

Oh? [His browplates raise curiously. Present, what. He's not sure what to expect from Shepard with that word :|] I'm on my way.

[only_mostlydead]

Her quarters were empty. Either she found Coruscant a little too unjust to let crime still happen - not that I blame her - or Revan sent her home. [a pause.] None of us have ever left before.

[Private]

I'll be here.

[He'll just take that in silently, frowning.] No, we haven't. Are you sure she didn't just get hit with that coma-thing somewhere?

[Private; ACTION]

[Lalalala time passing and walking happens and oh look there is a knock at the door. And then Garrus just strides in without waiting for her to open it because he's gotten completely comfortable in her quarters already and he was invited anyway.] Should I have gotten you something?

Where would we look for her on this planet? [She hadn't thought about the coma thing. Sob.]

[Action]

[Shepard's sitting in a chair at her desk, glancing over at him as he enters. Once the door shuts, she gets up, handing over the package.] You could replace the alcohol you and Jack drank.

[goodfor6things]

Things are looking quite dire, indeed. [Also sarcastic. :'|] Though it could be worse, I suppose. I think I can handle the food rationing, at least.

[only_mostlydead]

Food rationing isn't so harsh. All wars go through these things. I like less food more than plagues and bombs.

[goodfor6things]

No, the rationing is reasonable, at least. And significantly less worrying than... everything else. I'll go hungry if it means less explosions and whatever else.

[pause] You're... Serah Shepard, aren't you? My sister's companion. [Said so dryly; when she says "companion," she means "partner in crime." :'|]

[only_mostlydead]

Unfortunately, less explosions and war don't go together. [A fact of life.]

Just Shepard. Or Commander. [Oh, right!] You're Hawke's younger sister. The girly one.

[hardheading]

You might want to be a little more specific than 'blue alien in tight clothing' there, Shepard.

[only_mostlydead]

Don't think they really know what Asari are, Kaidan.

[hasashotgun]

I'm not liking the looks of things, Shepard...[Uneasy quarian is uneasy.]

...Samara? Is she...missing?

[only_mostlydead]

Me either, Tali. [:/]

That or Revan sent her on her way.

[hasashotgun]

If there's trouble...we can handle it. [:/ She just hopes there isn't any.]

Whatever has happened to Samara...I hope she's safe.

[only_mostlydead]

We always do.

[Shepard snorts.] It's Samara. She can handle herself just fine without us, wherever she is.

[ontheirknees]

The probability of this unrest giving rise to riots and other violent acts has reached 77.59% Shepard, with the possibility of rising further. I would suggest preparation for conflict would be in our best interests...

[only_mostlydead]

Aren't we always prepared, EDI?

[ontheirknees]

Of course, Commander. However, further preparation could only prove helpful with the current circumstances as they are.

[only_mostlydead]

Right you are. I'll get the crew to prepare for... Whatever might happen.
