Chapter 102: Compromised

=== Summary ===
Shepard wakes from being tranquilized, feeling disoriented and not sure what led up to her being in the strange bed. As she considers what happened, she hears a strong call in her mind, inviting her to Suen. Though she is completely convinced a trip to Suen is necessary immediately, Garrus is not convinced- mostly because her feelings appear to be coming out of nowhere to him, and with no reason. After being left alone in her room, Shepard decides that she’ll go on her own.
She steals the STG interceptor I’a Mailevai, and is gone before anyone else is awake, with a brief stop at Omega to grab some weapons and a hardsuit that can stand Suen’s hostile environment.
Shepard’s absence is discovered early in the morning, but long after she had left. Garrus is swamped with rage, fear, and guilt as he works with the chief of security for the Helos Institute to trace Shepard’s path to escape. Afterwards, Garrus remembers her insistence to go to Suen and orders the Austerlitz intp pursuit.
When Shepard arrives at Suen with her stolen interceptor, she is greeted by a waiting rachni ship to take her to the surface.

The cowardice of the Leviathans, more AU scenes than you can shake a stick at, and Saren's canonical age.
