Mass Effect 2_Aura'anna-Omega_Archangel_Saved

Mass Effect 2

After a heavy fire-fight, Garrus takes direct fire before being hit face-on by a missile from the gunship.

Shepard wastes no time completely disabling the gunship, hitting it with her own missiles until it explodes. She finds Garrus somehow still alive and has him evacuated onto the Normandy and outside Omega space, where her friend can be safe.

It's a long and tense wait, but Garrus is Turian and bounces back quite well after Dr. Chakwas saves him and puts his face back  together.

Then Garrus faces Shepard down and questions her about Cerberus. But this is Shepard, so he doesn't really question her integrity and trusts her implicitly.

Having been to check on Joker in the cockpit... and referring yet another argument with EDI... she goes to see Garrus at the Forward Battery. He tells her about his time after the first Normandy went down, his own squad, and what happened to them.

Then he tells them about their fate... not just that they were dead, but precisely why they were taken down... A betrayal. The hurt is clear, and revenge is clearly the only thing on his mind about it.

Mass Effect 2_Ari'iaana-Normandy_Garrus_Recovered

Mass Effect 2:
Archangel (8) - Saving Garrus Vakarian

Having been hit by a rocket missile from the gunship, Garrus was left bleeding on the floor. Shepard and her team take down the gunship responsible and evacuate him back to the Normandy to be saved. Gravely concerned, she then waits with Jacob to see what becomes of him.

To her great surprise, relief, and pleasure, she finds Garrus seems recovered and well after Dr Chakwas' surgery. She finds him later in the gun battery, tinkering with it as a distraction, just the way he used to with the Mako. He seems to be settling in and willing to talk.

Garrus then tells her about his time on Omega and answers her questions about his vigilante work and his team. It turns out he was inspired by what she did to face Saren, and emulated her work and her techniques in getting a squad together to go up against the criminals of Omega.

It is quite clear to Shep how much the Tourian had changed in the past two years and she is taken and impressed by him, warming to him much more than she did when she was on the last Normandy.

He also then shares that one of those turned traitor, who ended up getting the rest of the team killed in an attack that Garrus was the only survivor of. The traitor disappeared and Garrus has been hunting him since.

Mass Effect 2_Ari'iaana-Omega_Archangel_Down

Mass Effect 2:
Archangel (7) - Archangel Down

Having taken down the Blood Pack and their Krogan leader Garm, the team collect themselves and Garrus tells the story of the first time he and Garm faced each other.

Just as he's telling it, the unfortunate sight of the gunship turns up - much to Shepard's annoyance and Garrus' surprise. Shepard lets him know she had a hand in ensuring it was not as airworthy as they wanted it to be - and knowing it's just a matter of time, she's quite willing to fight until it goes back down again. Unfortunately, once the first wave of Blue Suns are dispatched, the damned thing comes back for more.

The gunship first catches Garrus with heavy fire, then as he attempts to move, a rocket is propelled at him, exploding and leaving him bleeding out and exposed on the floor.

There are more waves of Blue Suns and the gunship to contend with, so the Soldier in Shep kicks in and she focuses only on the enemy as her old friend lies dying on the floor, whilst she tries to divert their attention away from him and save what is left of his life.
