Thread: Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end [1x1 with Javorcek]

Come on Shepardyou gotta wake up. If I gotta read you anymore of this sh-shtuff Im going to blow my fu-fricken brains out. Jack didnt even know why she bothered correcting her language, it wasnt like her students were here. Hell, it wasnt even like Shepard could hear a word she was saying anyway, the Commander was out cold. But the habit that had been imposed upon her by Kahlee Sanders apparently had stuck, because Jack still felt compelled to clean up her language, even when everyone in the room was of legal age. You gotta wake up so that I can yell at you for making me dependable. Listen to me! I cant even curse right. The young biotic growled, crossing her arms and glaring over at Shepards unconscious form as though her turn around was all Shepards fault. In truth, part of it was the Cheerleaders fault as well Even though their relationship had originally started with some mindless fucking to relieve some stress and settle some scores, it had evolved into something so much larger. Miranda was a good woman. She had belonged to a shitty organization that did shitty things to peoplebut she herself was a good woman. ThoughI guessI gotta thank you too when you wake up. For using your pull to get my kids sent to the back to act as support and everything. Big brown doe eyes looked at the Commander for a moment, studying her. Shepard had always made the hardest choices, choices that Jack was glad that never had to think about, let alone make. She already had enough bad memories, she didnt need anymore. But Shepardshe didnt even know how the hell Shepard slept at night. But youd knew theyd be necessary for search and rescue, didnt you? That their biotics would be perfect and more precise than huge machinery sifting through the rubble. Jack smirked slightly and crossed her arms, reclining back in her chair a little bit. Youre a crafty, crafty bitch, Shepard. I wonder if your girlfriend has made you mellow out. Made you soft, just like mine has made me Yeah, Jack thought she was getting soft and it was mostly her lovers fault. Miranda made her want thingsthings like a family, a home. Hell, shed gotten this job with the Alliance partially because she knew that the ex-Operative wouldnt spend the rest of her life with a career criminal. Hehthe rest of her life Jack snorted softly an the idea that had been plaguing her for weeks and then shooed the thought out of her mind entirely. Try not to die. Im gonna take a nap. Jack mumbled, unsure of why she was telling an unconscious body what she was about to do, but feeling as though she needed to anyways. She didnt want Shepards brain to turn to mush just because no one had been talking to her the whole time she was in a coma. So she settled into her chair, set the book she had been reading Shepard aside and leaned back to close her eyes for a power nap. You want me toto mimic the reactions of the drive core? Liara asked, blinking and looking over towards the drive core in confusion. How was she supposed to accomplish such a feat with her biotics? The Asari maiden thought for a moment, biting her lip in nervousness as Tali informed her that this little stunt may cause all of them to die. At least Garrus was there to help encourage her. Between him and Ashley, the whole crew had pretty high spirits, all things considering. I--... Alright. I will try. Liara nodded a bit, trying to find confidence somewhere, enough to attempt this. Where did confidence come from anyways? From your gut? Your heart? Shepard, and humans in general came up, with such strange sayings. Because their physiologies were so similar, Liara was certain that the gut was full of nothing more but acid and bacteria used for digestion, and the heart was only for circulating blood not for circulating confidence. But, the thought of Shepard and her silly human adages made the asari maiden crack a rare smile as she stepped forward so that she could make observe the perimeter of her Singularity better and make sure it didnt become larger than the space that housed the drive core. Okayhere I go. She could hear a couple of wary engineers move for cover as her hands glowed blue, biotic energy pooling in her palms and arcing up her forearms. The first Singularity she flung at the space was too small, and rather than waste her energy in an attempt to maintain it and make it larger, she just dissipated the whole failure so that she could try again, fresh. It took her a good three shots before she had finally managed to create a Singularity field that was big enough to encase the entire drive core. Asari were amazing biotics, but even they grew tired and were subject to the headaches that came from manipulating mass effect fields. But Liara had to keep going, everyone had worked so hardshe couldnt let them down. And she desperately wanted to get off this ship to go see Shepard. Hopefully, if this worked, this would give better insight to how to restart the Relays, which also operated via the manipulation of Mass Effect fields. Hrragh! Liara bellowed as she flung the most powerful warp she could muster at her Singularity field. There was a massive explosion of light, a loud BOOM! and a rush of energy that was powerful enough to knock Liara right off of her feet and backwards because she had been standing so close to the colliding fields. The healthy blue glow had left her skin and beads of sweat began to coat her body as she panted in exhaustion. That task had taken a lot- out of her. Butbut she could hear the soft whirring of machinery again! The drive core was now crackling with energy, sustaining itself once again all on its own and poweringn the ship. It worked! Goddess, it worked!
