Shepard's GoodbyeGuys? I don't know if you can hear me… I'm sorry. I am… so… sorry. I'm sorry I'm not there for you like I said I would be. We weren't ready for this… I… wasn't ready for this.Shepard's Goodbye1 year ago in Short Stories More Like This
…..
What the Hell were we thinking going after the Reapers? What made us think we would be able to stop them when countless civilizations before ours fell?
Before London, I found myself thinking this more and more. But… then I also started thinking of everything we've accomplished. When Saren turned his back on the Council, they just couldn't see it. They just couldn't believe that one of their own would turn against them. I'd call

After looking carefully at the image in front of her eyes, Shepard shook her head. "It looks like there's already a crater on this side of the moon, Relan. Take us to the other side and let's see if we can find an unspoiled portion of the surface. I want to have a very precise idea of the power of the cannon."

Shepard woke up with a jerk and it took her brain a couple of seconds to remember where she was and what she was doing there. As her eyes darted around the small, dark room she spotted the familiar shape of Aria sitting on the couch, a padd in her hands, a concentrated look on her face. The human imagined that Aria kept a change of clothes in here, since she was perfectly dressed
No Sympathy for DevilsNo sympathy for devils.No Sympathy for Devils1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
Not for them, or us.
You know what we are.
You can see it in our nature,
Indivisible from our truest form.
My breath portends brutality.
Violence has always composed our core.
To deny it would be to deny our heritage.
I must harness my birthright.
Judge me not
By the temperament of my voice,
Or the iron in my eyes,
But by the will with which I fight.
Your pity is an unwelcome crutch.
I refuse it.
Do not question our nobility.

Garrus overhears Tali, "Tali!?! What are you saying!?! That thing can't be Shepard."
"Hey Garrus. Still as ugly as ever."
"…Ok. I'm convinced that's Shepard."
Tali still looks at the Husk with distrust. "Shepard, I don't know what to say."
"I know. I have a lot of explaining to do, but let's talk about it on the way to your camp. I don't want to be here when those Minotaurs return."
"Minotaurs? That thing that attacked us?"

Another week, and the snow had gone from the ground. The winter sun popped out between clouds, appearing unexpectedly at low angles and blinding motorists heading west on the highway.
For Amanda, it was all starting to feel like deja vu.
This week, she took the precaution of visiting the short loan library the evening before her Mesoamerican class. As previously, however, the books she sought were missing. A brief interrogation of Glenn confirmed that, once again, the big-chested blonde had beaten Amanda to the mark.
The following morning Amanda towelled herself off after a shower, combing out her wet dark hai

The semester had started, the snow was melting, and Amanda was back into the swing of things. Her head was full of Ancient Babylonians and Chinese mythology. This is how Amanda preferred to be: busy, and not languishing alone.
It was the morning of the first Mesoamerican Civilization class; Amanda, clad in woolly sweater, jeans and boots, set off in good time for the seminar. She planned to stop off at the short-term library, and make her usual ploy of bagging all the necessary books; before everyone poured out of class, two hours later, and fought over them. She'd obtained the

Four weeks earlier, Amanda lay on the same bed, looking at the same ceiling; only this time it was mid afternoon, and she felt restless.
Now in her sophomore year, at a certain well-known Ivy League university in a certain historic New England town, Amanda waited impatiently for the second semester to start. As she lay in her university dorm, she wondered if she might in fact be the sole occupant of the building. As with the previous year, she'd spent the winter break 'home alone'; her middle-aged father remained, as ever, deeply absorbed by his work in the Middle East and her mother had never been p

That was Denise’s reaction as she pushed open the door of the girls’ locker room at the high school she taught at. She looked down to see Andrea, the head cheerleader, lying face-up on the floor, not moving.
It was after school, two days before Christmas break was about to start; there was no one else left in that part of the building. Denise quickly dropped to her knees next to the prone form of the 18-year-old senior, checking to make sure she was breathing. Once she was satisfied that Andrea was apparently fine, and just unconscious, she stepped back and looked over her, and gasped.

Penelope's Next Mission: The Dealer, Part 2Penelope D’Arcy sat at her desk, her head in her hands, trying to process everything that had just happened. Just a few minutes before, she had discovered that her assistant, Lianne, had been chloroformed and kidnapped, all because of Pen’s detective work in trying to connect the disappearances of several women to a string of casinos on the West End.Penelope's Next Mission: The Dealer, Part 26 months ago in Introductions & Chapters More Like This

Penelope's Next Mission: The Dealer, Part 3Penelope D’arcy, also known (only to herself though!) as Black Arrow, had gained entry to the Casino where she suspected there was some sort of illegal activity going on. The activity was related, she thought, to a number of recent disappearances of women in the West End; and she suspected that whoever was behind it, was the same man who had not long ago purchased partial ownership in six casinos, all on the West End, and all under different names.Penelope's Next Mission: The Dealer, Part 36 months ago in Introductions & Chapters More Like This

Once she got her bearings, Black Arrow realized that she hadn’t been taken anywhere yet – much to her surprise, since that’s what they had told her they were going to do. “We’re still here…? I thought you were going to take me to your ‘boss’?” She struggled ferociously but her bonds were too tight for her to loosen them.

“Hello?” she called out. But there was no response, just dead silence. “Hello?”
She didn’t hurt anywhere, and she couldn’t feel any kind of restraints on her; but, when she tried to move one of her arms or legs, she could only manage an inch or two before hitting something solid. The surface she was hitting felt like some kind of thick foam, and it seemed to be all around her.
The last thing she remembered was two men bursting into the law o

She dimly recalled that at some point, someone had removed her from the ‘container’ she was in, long enough to allow her to eat, drink, and relieve herself. It was so hazy though; she knew she had eaten, but couldn’t remember what she ate. She still couldn’t remember seeing anything; whoever these people were, they obviously didn’t care much for light.

Da fliegen die Leichen,

Den Hass zu erneuern,
Um das zu beschützen,
Was niemand bedroht.

Aus Flügel und Asche
An mangelnden Grauen.

Um jeden zu opfern
