Description
My dears! Thanks a lot for the +75K visits!! How could I repay? Maybe with another page? I'll try
I know many of you wanted to see Grunt and Shepard confrontation here and I am sorry to disappoint, but I wanted this chapter to be short, just four little scenes to be a bridge between the Citadel and Horizon events (yes, next Chapter 7 is... Horizon).
I'll let you imagine what's Garrus drinking, but I can tell you that Shepard is drinking tea here. Main reason: coffee makes weird things to my belly and tea does wonders. Specially a blend with mandarine and strawberry. My favourite for more that seven years now!
Thanks a lot to for his beta-read!

I’ve been reading many fanfics for almost a year, so if anyone spots something familiar, do tell me and I’ll be delighted to quote the author+fic that inspired it

A part of me wishes this story was centred around garrus and his thoughts and actions throughout the story. Yeah I know you are mixing some things up a bit but it feels like that just dissapeared after he reunited with shepard.

I could bring up that more often in future pages... It's not a bad idea...

Yeah! Cus we know how shepard thinks and feels. Technically we are shepard. But what about a garrus point of view?

I've been re-reading the storyboard to see where I left and I have to say that I've found several pages with Garrus thoughts on them. I'm planning one more

The bond between grows, and its only a matter of time before Shepard realizes that she's only truly happy, relaxed and herself when she's with him...who would have thought that Vakarian would turn out to be the one person who knows her better than she knows herself?
I think this is one of your more underrated pages in the series. Sometimes, its the quiet moments that are the best ones.
Checking out his Omega nickname, are we? Someone's getting obsessed and not even realizing it...

Thanks! I also prefer quite moments than shooting things around... though those have their own appeal!
Good point! I think that Shepard would like to tease Garrus with his nickname, so I'm leaving hints here and there

Planet scanning is fun and exciting when you play it for the first time.
But when you're doing like your 3rd or 4th run, there will be tears of agony
and frustration! ;( Don't you dare run away while Shepard's going through
the most painful moment in her life, Garrus!

You can say that again: I'm glad what Bioware did with planet scanning in the third game, but I wouldn't have minded to return to ME1 planet exploration.
Poor guy, he's not running away but being left behind

Darn that planet scanning is ruining Ayren's sleeping hours Ayren needs her sleep Bioware!!!!!! But maybe she'll find an anomaly XD And then more fun for Shep XD
Garrus you do know her too well.....Quickly what will she do when she finds Liara? 
Hm I wouldn't be surprised if Grunt came into the kitchen and overheard this conversation XD
Grunt: Shepard
Ayren: Grunt
Garrus: The Bad-ass krogan? You named him Grunt?
Ayren: He named himself.
Grunt: Hm bad-ass krogan? I like that *headbangs Garrus*

She wants the ship ready to jump the Omega-4 relay and kick some Collector's butts... No chance the Normandy falls again!
Hug her! Because it's worth it!
I can totally picture that!!

Yeah, xD, team tea. The only thing funny about scanning planets was "Probing ur-anus, commander". And it was lame funny.

Also I find it hardly believable that Shepard wouldn't tell anyone is she opened the tank or not. A walking super-krogan on board it's a fact hard to hide, also why should she? She trusts Garrus, Joker etc.
I don't know but there dialog just feels off to me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's not that she's hidding the fact that she's opened the tank: as you say, having Grunt walking free in the Nordmany is something you must inform about. It's more that Shepard has not informed Garrus yet and due to the fact he's always calibrating, she didn't expect that he knew it before she told him what she had done.... But I see that it can be interpreted as odd. Noted for future dialogues. Thank youuu for pointing it out!

Curse you boring planet scaning and the fact you take too long!

NO GARRUS! You missed your "Do you want a neck rub?" suave chance! NOT a clever boy!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A pity I didn't thought of that one...

I guess everybody has neck cramps from planet scanning, I guess they should assign this task to someone in their crew, for example Kelly she actually doesn't do anything apart from feeding fish, and it will keep her occupied in her free hours => lesser chance of getting scale itch on the Normandy, while she'll be probing Uranus
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I felt my hand numb after a few scanns! You're very right: Kelly would be perfect for the task: she didn't feed the fish for my Shepard, only told here when she had new messages or someone of the crew wanted to talk with her.
Jan! You're mean and ironically cruel! I like that aspect of yours
