Chapter 59: Of Stars and Crosses

=== Summary ===
EDI sends a message to Tali requesting her assistance in extending the tether she has with her mobile platform. Tali replies “Challenge Accepted”. Tali enlists the help of Shepard and Kal’Reegar (who survived the events of Mass Effect 3 after all) to choose people to staff her crew. When she addresses those she has chosen, she presents the challenge of helping EDI to them with zeal. The memorial service is held on December 7th and many people are awarded commendations for their bravery and service, not the least of which are the crew of the Normandy. When Commander Shepard steps forward, she is promoted to Captain and is awarded with honors from almost every group present. As everyone prepares to applaud, a Minos operative decloaks and attempts to assassinate Shepard. The operative is dead before they hit the ground, and Shepard collapses with no vitals.
