Chapter 125: Mysterious Ways

=== Summary ===
Shepard attempts to use her memory shard to draw out the answers to what had happened on the Citadel, but despite her flashing into it mid-firearms recertification, the answers remain just out of reach.
Garrus gets around to doing some light interrogation on Verity Scott, delayed due to his hunt for the Marquis and near-death experience. Verity calmly reminds Garrus that if she wanted to hurt either Shepard or Vi, she could have done so already. Verity shares some of her family history and how it influenced her choices of specialties. Shepard’s headaches continue, but she downplays her condition to Garrus, with both her and Verity blaming it on the Council meetings.
The next day Garrus and Shepard meet with Dr. Bryson and Dr. Chakwas to continue their experiments in trying to classify what exactly is going on with the two of them; this time, the doctors want Shepard to try to control the people around her. She is able to command Garrus to give his visor to her with some effort, and Ann Bryson sings happy birthday to Chakwas with little effort, but Joker proves impossible to command- effectively shoving Shepard’s consciousness back into her body. At the end of their experiments Ann and Chakwas reveal the existence of the implant inside Garrus’ skull, along with a similar one in Shepard’s own, leaving the couple disturbed. EDI notes the similarity to scans recovered and reconstructed from Matriarch Benezia and Saren respectively. The final depressing and disturbing news is the history of scans from Shepard herself reveal her implant is growing.
