Calibration 24 [Video]

[Garrus enters his apartment, inspecting the thin layer of dust on his stuff. He gets out a cloth and begins to clean up, starting with his new model of the Normandy. After noticing the device is on, he picks it up and talks into it as he dusts.]

If anybody is wondering where I've been for the past week, well, I went home. Somehow.

It was nice to see Shepard and the others again, even for a little while.

[He pauses and gets a hard look in his eyes.]

Some of the things that happened back there... [Sigh

And he tries to go back to dusting, as if to push whatever happened out of his head. Turns off the device while he's at it.]

[OOC: Garrus is back and all caught up on canon.]

[Because Garrus had made it sound like something big had happened. ]

I just wanted to hear all about your visit home and of course welcome you back properly. You were missed while you were gone.

Well, like I said, it was nice to see Shepard again. [He'll spare Eagle the details of what transpired. They were sexy in nature.]

But, a couple of... other things happened. One made me want to break a Cerberus employee's legs. I didn't witness the other personally, but from what Shepard told me, she's in some hot water.

Its probably better that you didn’t break some one’s leg. What did he do to irritate you so badly?
I hope the trouble your friend is in isn’t too bad.

Well, we were called in to investigate a Cerberus facility where they were experimenting with a virtual intelligece to control geth. It turned out that the head researcher used his own brother to work it. The poor man was being tortured.

[Oh horrible! Eagle‘s face pretty well reflects that feeling as he listens to Garrus speak. ]

Were you able to save that man?

[action] Spoilers from here on out pretty much

[identity profile] officer-garrus.livejournal.com 2011-07-16 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, we saved him. Shepard made sure he was sent someplace where they'll take care of him.

[He takes a long gulp of his drink.]

As for the other incident, Shepard went in alone, as a favor to Admiral Hackett, but she told us the whole story. She had a run in with Indoctrinated scientists who were going to bring the Reapers to our galaxy, and was forced to kill a colony of batarians in order to stop them.

[there is a moment of silence while this information settles in. ]

I see what you meant about harsh reminders… Those sound like very difficult situations.

[Support! You have it. ]

Are you going to be alright?

I shudder to think that things are only going to get worse from here before they get better.

[He takes another sip from the flask.]

Yeah, I'll be fine.

[identity profile] eagleofautozam.livejournal.com 2011-07-16 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I’m sorry. If there was something I could do…

[But, at the moment he couldn’t think of anything other than being there to talk to, if needed. ]

That's nice of you to offer.

Still, with Shepard leading us, I know we'll beat them.

I know you are very dedicated so I am sure you will be able to do just that.
