Mass Effect 2

After seeing Project Overlord, feeling that disgust and nauseating trauma, Shepard heads straight to the bar at the first opportunity and pours herself a very big cocktail of whatever the hell that coloured stuff was.

Once sobered, she heads to Samara for some insightful wisdom... and instead finds deep and unwavering friendship from her. Buoyed, she heads for Grunt... her very own baby Krogan... being his own unique very weird self... apparently thinking of very bad dismemberment of Turians was a Happy Place for him...

A little brittle from seeing Overlord, she over-reacts slightly, warning him off Garrus... her Garrus. Of course, Garrus was part of the Normandy Clan, so of course he wasn't harbouring thoughts of harming him... She really needs to get some sleep.

Instead, she checks on the others. Naturally, Jack is the little ray of sunshine she always is, so all was well there. Then she found out Tali was sick... or allergic... or something. But she also reached out with a token of absolute friendship - and after everything they had already been through, it was more than welcome. Tali was becoming one of her closest friends, which was especially welcome since Liara was missing.

Mordin heard from his favourite nephew, which made him happy... or as close to happy as Salarians can get. Jacob was pretty encouraged when she spoke to him too, and was confident the crew was as good as it could get - which she was very relieved to hear. Without Kaidan she had worried she wouldn't have a second opinion on such matters, but luckily Jacob was just as calm and sensible, able to make good judgements and see the bigger picture. Joker concurred when she spoke to him about Normandy.

It seemed now that both ship and crew were pretty ready to go and hit the Collectors where it hurt. They were as strong as they could possibly get, and she thought they stood as good chance. Normandy was ready and the people were strong and focused...

Very soon it would be time to go.
