Description
I have bad news guys, this is no Arrival DLC... but Alchera
But don't dispair, Arrival will play a part in this story, but not now.I'm not sure what Garrus and Tali ate in the Normandy, but I guess that some kind of goo easy to prepare for a human cooker.
Thanks 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

I've noticed that Garrus never swears beyond "crap" in all three games.

For a soldier, "crap" is not quite rude... isn't it?

YES
FANTASTIC IDEA
I was so sad I couldn't bring down Tali and Garrus during that. I wish there were a lot more flashbacks and dialogue. They could have done so much with the crash site!
Well at least it looks like you are going to do something more with it!

Thanks!
I was a little annoyed that Shepard had to go all alone there. It was her grave! How comes you are not allowed to bring friends or squaddies to help you cope with this??

I see she has made quite a tall wall of frost...don't make it too thick Shepard, this is a fight you
can't win on your own may it be physical or mental.
What really brought me a tear during that mission was when I read Pressly's datapad
about how he finally got to understand that they couldn't have defeated Saren without
allies from the other races.
In the end, he gained my respect.

Likewise. I'm a strong defender of Unity against the common enemy: only if all the races work together, they would be able to stop the Reapers. Or they should have (stupid, stupid endings!)

She is a bit... cold... It is hard beeing rejected, is it? Poor Shepard.

Heh... goo that's easy to prepare.... I wonder more how Tali eats anything...
I'm sorry I've been silent for so long with the comments and the faves. All with a reason, I can assure you.
And I see ya went with the idea of having Garrus go down there with her to the crash site. I'm sure he too has memories from that place that kind of haunts him and aside from Tali (who hasn't been added yet) Garrus is the only one who can remotely understand what she's about to go through.
I can't say I approve that she's still acting a little cold towards him, but I guess it is all part of your cunning plan

I think she uses a straw...
Don't worry at all! I've also been a little disconnected from this site... RL has some nasty ways sometimes...

The day I draw this page, a friend came to visit and he stared at the first panel a long time and asked what it was. I told him and he said "It's seemed another thing". He has a dirty mind
I thought the same! Bringing someone along on that mission would have been a good idea on BW side. Not that I'm complaining, but it would have been nice to have extra dialogue depending on who you brough there. Specially if it's your LI or an old friend who served in the first Normandy.
That's exactly what I felt while I was there... it was an ice tomb. And finding your helmet there... uf...

Thank you for finally talking about this mission! I always felt the game didn't do this part justice. No one even said anything when you got back. I'd assume that would be hardest on Shepard especially since she died and found her helmet there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's me who should thank you for reading it! I also felt that way. Many times I felt the game just didn't link missions with comments, they were like little duties unrelated to the game's plot.
I can't imagine how you must feel after visiting your own tomb, realizing that you were truly dead and you have been brought back by the Bad Guys of the Galaxy. This is the recipy to loose your head!

woah....haha, I was surprised there for a sec....but I'm excited to read the next one!

Surprised? Why? (I'm a curious cat) You're luky then you have more pages to read

ahh I'd love to see a team dinner, that would be cool, but that's not the most important thing in this comic, it's nice that Shep and Garrus went there together
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm planning on a little party for the team... Not a dinner but...
I though it was fitting that someone from the original Normandy went down with her. I'm not sure Joker would like to go, or Chakwas so...

well I am definitely interested in the party

That said, it was an amazing experience being down there on your own... but bringing Garrus along would have been amazing too.

This part of the game....
It was both sobering and therapeutic for me. Good to face it head on, but still so very hard.
I know I've said it before, but damn, I love how Garrus is always there for Shep.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think it's meant to be like that: a way to confront your own death (well, Shepard's death... you get my point) and finally move on. Or you can consider it another mission. 
You can say that again.

Alchera....
I only set foot on that planet once. To get the tags and place the memorial on the crash site.
I never returned to that fucking place.

jajajajaja apuesto que el 99% de la gente pensó que el mensaje de Hackett era Arrival.
Ya decía yo que el nombre de Alchera me era familiar pero no lo note hasta esa pagina
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bueno, no se si el 99%, pero bastante gente, sí. Es normal, es el último DLC y es el que tenemos más fresco en la mente. Pero mira, me fue bien para sorprender ^^
Tranquilo, tuve que recurrir a la masseffectwiki para refrescarme los nombres... Así descubrí que hay dos personajes que se llaman Devon en los dos juegos

ooooooooooooooooh, Alchera, totally forgot about that one
yeah it was pretty effed up they'd make poor Shep do this... then again it's pretty effed up she keeps that battered helmet (even though it' the only reason her brain was still intact)
awww, Garr, keep trying.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ta-da! Suprise!
I liked the DLC per se, but in the story, I felt it was like a bad joke on Shepard. Like bringing flowers to your own grave. And the fact you keep your helmet is odd, weird and insane. I'll have to think on something for her to keep it
Don't worry, he'll succeed!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, Shep kinda has to be a little crazy to do what he/she does. It's a little disturbing they make Shep keep the thing, but considering it's the only reason his/her brains are still intact... I dunno, It's probably something like a reminder, however surreal it sounds: "You died, now you're back."
awww, go Garrus!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Excellent point! Shepard's not the sanest person in the Galaxy... It could be very well that or a way of remembering the Commander is not as invencible as s/he thinks.
Anyway, go Garrus!

Think I remember quarians and turians need to eat food containing D-amino acids rather than "human-style" L-amino acid containing foods... Hope that Garder remembers that when preparing that gooey thing!
Going to check pages 65-66 now!

You're right and Gardner remembers it
