Chapter 95: Masquerades and Markings

=== Summary ===
Having been tipped off that he was being followed, the Marquis pays a visit to Seri to extract information. Once he is convinced that Seri doesn’t know the actual name of the person he is looking for, he abducts her with the intention of having her identify him by sight.
The night before her oserun, Shepard worries herself into a fit with nerves. Garrus reassures her that she will do well and look beautiful. And if they do laugh at her, she will be able to annihilate that person in a duel.
The next day, Aelianus calls the oserun to order. Several people speak on Shepard’s behalf, and when it comes time for Shepard to face them she surprises the assembly by speaking in Venian. Shortly afterward, Shepard applies her newly-designed clan markings for the first time as a citizen and swears her final set of vows.
That evening, Shepard and Garrus get ready to attend an opera (a turian translation of a human comedy). Garrus explains that turians often use these events to network and goes into the plot of the opera “Aqilis Andronikus”.
At the opera, Seri drops a note into Garrus’ pocket before returning to the Marquis, hoping to be released now that she had identified the turian. The Marquis murders her instead and leaves her body in Garrus and Shepard’s skycar as a clear warning to abandon the hunt.
