Chapter 109: The Renata

=== Summary ===
Garrus leaves Kaiden in charge of the Normandy while he, Shepard, and Viatrix make an emergency trip to Palaven. That afternoon, Aelianus is discovered amidst the wreck of his Renata- badly injured but still alive. He is quickly taken to Altilia Candas National Hierarchy Medical Centre, the best military hospital on Palaven. Four hours after finding him, Garrus, Shepard, and Viatrix arrive at the hospital and are apprised of his condition. The two of them are horrified at his injuries, but he is very, very lucky.
Shepard briefly excuses herself to sort out their accommodations and discovers that there had been some dissent within the Hierarchy regarding Aelianus’ policies and that they cannot rule out an assassination attempt. Garrus immediately sees something where his skills are useful, and latches onto the investigation.
Like a polite bulldozer, Garrus insists on looking at the wreckage. Working with Custos Opifex, Blackwatch’s best mechanical investigator, they discover a bullet hole. As crazy as it seems, someone sniped the eezo core while the Renata was in motion.
As Shepard had predicted, Aelianus wakes up that evening.
