Mass Effect 3

A couple of e-mails between Garrus and Shepard at the start of ME3: basically some spoilers for ME2 and the back story for ME3.

(I'm so addicted I'm writing about this game now. *sob*)

This is bullshit.

Well, that's the military red tape for you.  Could be worse.

From: [Vakarian, G]
To: [Shepard, J]

You've been yanked off the Normandy, had your title stripped and are pretty much under "house arrest" on Earth.

How the hell could it be worse?

From: [Shepard, J]
To: [Vakarian, G]

Know anyone else who came back from the dead only to almost die again but then live just for the hell of it?

Besides, I might be grounded but the majority of you aren't.  I'll have eyes and ears out there thanks to you.

(You okay?)

From: [Vakarian, G]

That's cheating.

(Yeah, mostly.  Think I've got about another two days of interrogating before either the Turian leaders pitch a fit and get me out of here.)

Maybe, still going to use it to my advantage, though.

Shit, they still grilling you?

From: [Vakarian, G]
To: [Shepard, J]

Funny how they aren't buying that whole "Cerberus hated aliens, I'm an alien, ergo, I'm not Cerberus" thing.

~

From: [Shepard, J]
To: [Vakarian, G]

Did you just use the word "ergo"?

~

From: [Vakarian, G]
To: [Shepard, J]

Spending too much time with politicians and lawyers.  Send help.  Preferably in the form of a very big gun.

PS: You think if I mentioned our, erm, "interaction" and wiggle my eyebrows, they might let me (you) go?  Prove that Cerberus agents wouldn't engage in that kind of activity with aliens?

~

From: [Shepard, J]
To: [Vakarian, G]

Vakarian, you don't have eyebrows.

~

From: [Vakarian, G]
To: [Shepard, J]

I'll get Joker to do the eyebrow wiggling thing, then.

(You have a problem with me not having eyebrows but not about telling them?  Your priorities are weird, Shepard.)

~

From: [Shepard, J]
To: [Vakarian, G]

God, no, that's a dangerous and horrible path you'd walk with Joker.  He'd wiggle his eyebrows at you every time he saw you.

(Not like I'm ashamed of that night, Vakarian, or of you.)

From: [Vakarian, G]
To: [Shepard, J]


Oh.  Huh.

Shit, got to go, slimy looking lawyer knocking on my door.

~

From: [Shepard, J]
To: [Vakarian, G]

Good luck, Garrus.

From: [Vakarian, G]
To: [Shepard, J]

You, too, Shepard.
