Well, it's not much yet, but it's a start. :) Outright Shakarian in the far future, UST in the medium future, and lots of friendship and awkwardness between F!Shep and Garrus in the near future when they meet. Enjoy ~

“Space - the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations…to boldly go where no man has gone before.”Out of the surrounding speakers, a cheerful and familiar theme started to play. Several crew members seated around the screen started humming or whistling along, and a few swayed playfully in time with the music. From where she stood watching the enraptured crew, Commander Shepard shook her head in amusement. Star Trek was about two hundred years old, and somehow it never got old

Garrus couldn’t help himself. The Turian councilor’s hypocrisy was too egregious for him to keep his mouth shut. “Councilors,” he spoke up. Everyone in the room suddenly looked at him. Garrus was momentarily uncomfortable, but forged ahead. “With all due respect…none of us would have found the Citadel in the first place if we hadn’t been trying to expand off our own homeworlds. If this species was capable of building a spaceship, they were undoubtedly interested in expansion. But we clearly don’t have enough information to judge their inclinations as a race.” As an investigator, Garrus knew that making a call based on incomplete information was often foolish - and in this case, they had almost nothing to go on

It was cold.
Shepard sighed and tried to burrow more fully under the blanket. Blanket? No, it felt like just a thin sheet. She shivered. Had she lost the blanket? Sometimes she accidentally kicked it onto the floor when she slept. She reached over to her side, trying to find the end of the blanket, only to recoil as pain seared her ribs.
Fuck. That hurts. What the…
Shepard’s eyes flew open. Everything came rushing back to her - the strange artifact, the Normandy being attacked, the aliens boarding. The aliens…they’d looked like something out of a nightmare - ugly, four eyed, green skinned - terrifying. And all armed. She’d managed to take out most of the ones who’d been in the room with her, but she’d run out of ammo and one had definitely shot her. After that she couldn’t remember anything. But now…
…oh shit. Where the fuck am I now?Her eyes scanned the room wildly. It was some sort of prison cell, although a little bigger than the ones on Earth. She was actually on a cot. There were a desk and a chair nearby. She

She removed the IV from her arm, letting it dangle. Slipping out from under the sheet, she landed silently and slunk down onto all fours, crawling slowly towards the door and steadfastly ignoring the stabbing protests of her injuries. Flattening herself against the wall, Shepard tried the door hesitantly - nope, locked. She searched briefly for a keyhole that she could pick - no, nothing. The door must be secured by some kind of electronic means. Or maybe by alien magic, she thought dryly. She huffed in frustration

I can see this being Sheaprd reaction after what happened...but at the same time I'm worried since this might give ammunition for the theory of her being hostile. Excited for more!

Garrus sat there, in utter shock, head still wrapped in the sheet.
What…the…HELL?
He hissed in frustration, ripping the sheet off from around his neck. A glance backward confirmed it - in his eagerness to approach the little alien, who had woken up for the first time, he’d made a rookie mistake and left the door open. Unsurprisingly, his prisoner had bolted at the first opportunity.
Maybe I do deserve guard duty. What the hell is wrong with you these days, Vakarian? he thought to himself. Then he slammed a finger onto his omni-tool. “Dr. Solus! Did you see that? It’s loose

“Her?” Garrus asked. “It’s female?” Reflexively he glanced at the prisoner’s body, but then quickly looked away, somewhat embarrassed now knowing that the creature he held captive was a woman. Her waist was exposed

OMG MORDIN!! AHAHAHAHA! I can see he and Shepard becoming fast friends. This is so good I can't even handle it. I love how nice you've made Garrus - he's such a sweetie. And once again, MORDIN! I love how you made him sing, I can totally see him doing that. Suffice it to say I will be stalking this fic for updates! Very curious to see how they try and communicate, I suppose Shep could just sing Gilbert and Sullivan lol

Oh sweet screaming hell that is a FUN line! I skipped this initially because ... I dunno now. But DAMN if I'm not kicking myself for that.
There were, literally, tears flowing down my face.
Looking forward to tomorrow's update!
