Chapter 152: The Only Way Through . . .

=== Summary ===
Mini-Arc: “Secrets’ Fallout” Continues
On the planet of Eletania, Alexander Trechenkov awakens from interacting with the Prothean Sphere, having acquired the Cipher and is certain that his next stop needs to be Ilos.
After their altercation, Garrus calls Liara from the door of one of her safe houses and tells her he needs a place to stay for the night away from Shepard. Under Liara’s gentle prying he admits that he and Shepard had a fight, neither of them was ok but no one was dying, and Vi was ok, but he doesn’t want to talk with her about why they fought. Liara advises that he be kind to himself as she transfers the codes, and makes a point of mentioning the newly installed basement firing range.
An unwelcome 5:30am omni-tool message from Shepard awakens an extremely hungover Garrus the next day. Javik has found something on Mars and requires Shepard to meet him on Kahje, so she requires Garrus to come with her for child-care, plus the Illuminated Primacy has invited the family to attend the closing ceremonies of First Cresting Bloom. As such, they need to present a united front to the rest of the galaxy and not tip off that there is trouble in paradise- for security reasons. 
Following in Shepard’s footsteps, Alexander does some fancy flying in order to make the tiny landing zone matching the classified Prothean Bunker coordinates on Ilos. His mind is not clear, and the voices in his head are muted as he struggles to make it down towards his destination: Vigil. His question for the Prothean VI? “I need to know. . . where it began.”
