Mass Effect 3
Commander Shepard re-familiarises herself with her old ship. Normandy looks different... and the obvious signs of the half-finished retrofit helps with that ambience. Wires and pipes run everywhere, diagnostic systems were still plugged in, her cabin was missing parts, and they barely had a skeleton crew. But it was still her ship, and she certainly still loved her Normandy.
The lab-rat and Comms Specialist Sam Traynor finds some more Cerberus trouble and notifies her, and Shepard uses the opportunity to speak to her. She finds out quite a lot about her... including what her favourite toothbrush is (a Cision Pro Mark 4, for any possible future reference....). Shep immediately likes her, and Sam becomes her joint-favourite new recruit... along with James, her unofficial little brother.
She also speaks to Engineer Adams, whom she's relieved and happy to see again. He even managed to clock EDI was an AI, despite her hiding it well, and was happy to use her "expertise" after a while. But as she leaves Engineering, she notices to empty consoles... She takes a moment to miss Kenneth and Gabby, then moves on. She has to - she can't always miss them all.
She checks the reporter Diana Allers is settling in, ensuring that she focuses on the war effort and inspire people to join them in it. Then she retreats back to her cabin and Space Hamster Alenko, extremely relieved he's none the worse for wear from living in Jack's old space and fending for himself. Unfortunately, her fish weren't so lucky. With them, she would just have to start again. The Citadel must have a stead supply of pet fish, even in this strange climate.
She enjoys her moment of solitary quiet time, running through all her emails, and even finding out she's been given a present from EDI - which was very thoughtful of her - and extremely unexpected that an AI even as advanced as EDI would consider.
Once done, she selects better armour for her team and for herself. Then for the final touch, she puts on EDI's new hooded jacket, puts on some music, and breathes a moment of relaxation... before returning to to insanity of building an intergalactic army to fight back against the Reapers.
