I know how you feel. I feel the same. Things just aren't the same anymore, especially since there's no one else around. Went to wish Cmdr. Shepard a Happy Birthday yesterday only to notice that there wasn't any around.

And let's face it, the latest 'adventure' in our story certainly didn't help things. With it being a year later, things are getting even less likely to look up in our favor.

But there's always the old story to go back to, to relive any time you want. I'll be there, all our friends will be there.

I know you're excited about the new game coming out, but really, did you have to drag me up out of the ashes? That story has nothing to do with me. My story is done and told. I saved the galaxy.

Three times.

And what do I get for my troubles? A well deserved rest? A vacation? Finally get thanks from the Council I saved multiple times?

No.

I don't even get a decent death.

And now you want to just pick me up, and make me go through all of that again?

space_batman

So. Let's make sure I have this right. Out of all the people in the galaxy you could've chosen...

An admiral of the Quarian fleet, a Spectre halfway to saving the galaxy (not for the first time, I might add), the infamous Shadow Broker.

... And you settled on this worn out C-Sec drop out?

Hm. Can't say I'm not flattered, but I would've chosen ... differently.

Anyway, there's no going back now that we're both here. I'm not the type to sit around for long. There's a whole galaxy full of places that would be better off with an extra gun, and a person behind the trigger who gives a damn.

Wherever you take us, just make sure I've got a good rifle in my hand, and an even better teammate at my back.

--Sorry, can't hear anything you're saying, this loud dance beat is too sick and these ship models aren't gonna assemble themselves!

reignitus

This again? You're tenacious I'll give you that at least.

Look, I get you don't like the ending of my story but I did my bit. I'm a soldier and I did what I was supposed to do. There is no reason for you to be plotting an au to rope people into.

Even if you're right, I would never let the Alliance put me on house arrest for six months. Do they even know what they're...

( sigh. )

You're the worst.

sheepherds

Until now, I had this. I mean, there were some rough patches, but with crew to talk to, I had it handled. But now, after watching the guy who looked just like me fall to his death? Who only existed because some mad scientists wouldn't let me rest in peace? Therapy's starting to sound like a thing I need in my life.

Who do I bill for that kind of thing, anyway?

Just another thing to look forward to once all of this is over.

helmsman_moreau

How much clearer can I make it? I don't date crew. Especially not crew that outranks me. I don't care how much you want to see Shepard riding me like an especially rickety bicycle, it's never gonna happen, and I hate you for putting that image in my head at all.

I mean it. Not gonna happen, no matter when you set the timeline. Us both working for Cerberus? Not a valid loophole.

Come on. You know my heart belongs exclusively to my sweet synthetic princess.

...I meant the Normandy. Really. I did.

Anyway, and I'm just throwing this out here, maybe you should actually finish the last game before you try to play me? I don't care how many spoiler-tastic extranet videos you watch, it's no substitute for the real thing. Get back to me when you're done.

n7shepard_spectre

You never thought about it coming to this, did you? Al those hours you spent dictating my life, getting inside my head. It never occurred to you that at some point, I would return the favor and get inside yours? Well, I'm here. It's my turn to play now.

[It's not that easy. I'm trying to find anything, anywhere to let you loose.]

I know. But, with all the urging you have given me, I urge you to try harder. I want to meet up with the crew. Ash, Miranda, Samantha... oh god, definitely Samantha.

[I am trying, belie--]

(Renegade interrupt)

Try harder.

[I found something, but you'll have to go full Renegade instead of Paragade]

Yes, I see that. Should be interesting, despite the lack of a certain specialist.

outoftheash

I know you've been distracted by that other BioWare game lately.

At least I can probably trust you not to drop me into Thedas. One war at a time.

outoftheash

Feeling a little nostalgic after finally going back and visiting the Normandy crash site?

It's okay. She was one hell of a ship.

normandy7

I see you've been training. That's good. Good news.

Hey, look, let's get this out of the way, first: I'm not going to call you mundane. Mundanes are what we call the civvies. You know, the non-combatants. Seeing as you're more or less dictating where I go, what I do--hell, what I say--well, huh. [Wry smile.] I'm just gonna call you 'vice-commander'.

Why 'vice'? Because if you make me do something that pisses someone off, it's gonna be me who gets the brunt of the blow, not you. Sounds like an even trade-off, whattaya say? Can't say it's not a reasonable swap.

sheepherds

So this is the beginning of a long journey. For you, for me, for everyone on this ship. I don't know what's coming, but I hope I'm up to the task. Not that I see the logic behind giving me a voice here, but orders are orders. I think I've got a few too many on my crew who like to forget rules exist for a reason. But maybe that's what I need to challenge my thinking, keep me on my toes. As long as they don't challenge me mid-battle.

They're good soliders. Garrus worries me a little, but his intentions are the same as mine. Just different methods. Wrex worries me a lot, but I think that's a cultural misunderstanding. Ashley's been through hell recently, I'd like to keep an eye on her. Preferably from the bottom of a bottle of whiskey, because I don't intend to talk about Akuze sober.

And Tali's just... brilliant. She could talk circles around me, I don't have a clue how this ship runs, or how we picked up somebody as smart as her. Kaiden? Well, I don't know what to make of him yet.

But I've got a bad feeling about all of this. The Council, the Spectres, the whole mission stinks to high heaven. I just hope for once, my gut is wrong.

heh_heh_heh

[Don't give me that look.]

So, what, I'm supposed to let you call the shots?

[Let me guess, you aren't pleased.]

You play a damsel and a pyjak-human thing. But...there is Jack.

[Which means?]

That I get to do what I WAS MADE FOR!

So, admitting you're nervous is probably the first step to enlightenment, or something, isn't that how the old saying goes? Or close enough.

I'm not an expert on bad ideas -- we all know who that is -- but if you're so nervous, maybe keeping the heat off for a while would be better than just diving in head first. Think about it, you don't want to dive right into the fire, and I'm the kind of person who'd rather make a plan of action, instead of just jumping in headfirst.

Maybe that's what you should do, too. I'm pretty sure nobody benefits from just running in without at least some preparation. [ A pause. ] Almost nobody.

I'm not really in a position to give advice you'll listen to, but just... Give it some extra thought.

cancelledtheapocalypse

While the username is appropriate it's not funny.

[I thought it--] Shut up.

Can we talk for a second here? What part of your brain thought it would be a good idea to Indoctrinate me? Indoctrinate. Do you get that? Yes? No I don't want you to go over the 'fan theory' I want you to shove off.

It's not amusing. Nor is it fascinating.

~~don't you dare even think about getting Miranda involved I will figure out a way to kill you~~

I'm going to make your life hell through this entire plot of yours, I swear.

[Temper temper Shepard!]

.........I seriously hate you. And I'm really not the hating type.

distantshores

Ah, I was beginning to think you'd given up. Your dedication is admirable.

And given your penchant for placing characters in horror games, I must say I'm pleased with your choice. Zombies aren't exactly my style.

allgeth

Curios. You have gone to such lengths to understand all geth in order to "play" us. We wish that this understanding would be the desired general consensus of other organics, rather than the fear our mobile platforms sometimes instill.

... We also understand that others have come before us. We hope that we are up to the task.

aprilshepard

So...what, you went through all this trouble without actually having a plan to do anything with me?

Gee, thanks.

Look, I guess it's -- flattering? [creepy?] But I don't have time to be sitting around doing nothing. If you're not going to find me a game, send me back to the Normandy. I've got more than enough work to do.

Dear Mun . . .

I think we have issues.

Old muse awakens on Commander's B-Day, and there is no Commander.

Return of an old muse...that isn't so happy about it.
