Chapter 119: Routine Procedures

=== Summary ===
Aelianus arrives at the Normandy to see Garrus after hearing that his son was badly injured. After a brief discussion with Dr. Chakwas, he persuades her to wake Garrus up just enough to communicate details on what happened with the Marquis through subvocals. 
Shepard sits in her apartment with Vi, feeling drowned by a metaphorical mountain of to-do tasks and unable to complete any of them. As she turns her feelings over in her mind, she is surprised by how much not being pregnant hurts- even though she is already overwhelmed with her current responsibilities and with Viatrix. She reaches out to Bakara, who immediately invites her and Viatrix over, and promises to feed her- no arguing.
When Shepard arrives, Wrex is there to greet her while being used as a jungle-gym by his twin boys. He comments that every time he sees her, she looks like shit and asks who he needs to pummel. He relieves her of Vi and her accouterments and sends Shepard in to talk to Bakara. 
Shepard awkwardly talks to Bakara about the children, and Shepard’s own mixed feelings towards her disappointment in not being pregnant. Bakara talks about some of her own disappointment and losses, and reassures Shepard that her feelings are nothing to be ashamed of. Their conversation is interrupted by a priority message: Garrus flatlined in surgery and he is being rushed to Huerta Memorial.
Shepard rushes to Huerta, demanding to be let in to see Garrus. Her eyes glow black, and her voice echoes in bystander’s heads as it flanges and splits painfully. Fortunately, Tali arrives and helps Shepard calm down enough to stop with the spooky space magic.
