"Who...who would exactly do this?" Ashley was heard saying at the back of the group, a hint of either anger or sadness within her voice.
"I swear, these Cerberus bastards are getting their parts missing when I'm done with them." Kayla had replied, furious at the entire thing.
Everyone else seemed shaken enough to the point where they couldn't be able to talk.
A few datapads laid nearby, containing various credits and what-not.
However, not all was grim.
At the end of the hallway, a woman around the age of 30 was sitting, having her back near a hackable door. She was barely breathing, an M-6 Carnifex in her hand. A dead Alliance soldier laid on op of her, blood coating her suit and face. A few extra cuts were evident on he face.

Noble laughed a bit, wrapping his arms around her waist as she made herself comfortable on her lap. He kissed her cheek, placing his head on her shoulder --------- "That's fine. As long as he survives, I don't care where he does it." She laughed a bit, and took a step away from the doctor, burying her face in her hands ------------- "I've never had someone care so much about me." She said through sniffles, obviously trying not to cry. ----------- Ghost opened the escape pod Hatchway and looked out at whoever was outside "Hello?" He asked

She naps on it, peaceful snoring being heard throughout the room. ---------------------------- "Alright. I believe you have a few friends you would like to return to? Or would you like us to give you privacy? The doctor asked. [spoiler]-Regroup with the Invictus and Deimos crews -Stay in private with Cryark for a little longer.[/spoiler] --------------- "Well, us women need to stay together. One can't live without the other, right?" Vel responded, before dragging Glitch. "Come on; I'd think your people want to see that the two of you are alive!" She excitedly yelled, motioning Talath to follow. ------------------------- The door opened...to reveal Joker, and a [url=https://videogamegeek.com/camo/23d467839bde98171b3d47532a4805182f085e60/687474703a2f2f7374617469632e6769616e74626f6d622e636f6d2f75706c6f6164732f6f726967696e616c2f31342f3134343132382f323538323934312d343031373139383837312d64656661752e6a7067]redhead[/url], a white and blue Alliance t-shirt on her with jeans, which looked at Kayla and Ashley in wide confusion. "Ashley?" She asked. "Commander?" She responded. "By the way, that's the real Commander." Kasumi whispered to Ghost, as Joker waved hello to the Mandalorian, as the Alliance soldiers helped them out of the pod.

Soon afterwards, Noble slowly started falling asleep as well. Eventually, he yawned and knocked out [spoiler]Is that the end? [/spoiler] ------------ "Yeah, yeah. You're right. I should probably start heading back." Serendipity said, lifting her head as she left the room. ----------- "Oh please, I'm sure they all know." Glitch laughed as he ran along with Vel, Talath following behind them. ----------- "You mean, this universe's version of her, right? Ghost whispered back, glancing over

[spoiler]Yes; yes it is.[/spoiler] ------------------- She left the place, rendezvousing with the remains of the Invictus crew. [spoiler]End.[/spoiler] ------------------- Vel smiled, as the trio made their way to the group. [spoiler]End.[/spoiler] -------------------- "Yes. This is the Shepard I know." Kasumi whispered, as they got out of the pod. As Ghost got out, so did a weakened Hackett, surprising most people. He ended up being supported by Ashley and Kaidan, Kayla immediately sneaking away into the Deimos nearby with Jade in tow. "Ghost..." Hackett whispers, motioning him to come over...which surprised Kasumi's Shepard.
-
"Yes Admiral?" Ghost said, walking towards Hackett in a stiff military posture. He knew to respect the ranked.

"You guys...need a damn break for once. Tell Jack...the Alliance is all his to lead against the IMC...and get back to the Dojo...while..." Hackett had tried to tell Ghost, profusely coughing out small amounts of blood. "...and when we get either Maya or the Illusive Man... tell them I said hi...before pulling the trigger on their head." He says that before being pulled away to be treated on, leaving Ghost with Kasumi, as Ashley, Kaidan, and Shepard. "Come on; let's make sure everyone's alright." Kasumi responds, pulling Ghost toward the hospital. [spoiler]End after this?[/spoiler]

"Yeah. Let's get to the hospital. See the others..." Ghost's posture relaxes slightly as he followed behind Kasumi and the others [spoiler]Sure?[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I guess so. Updates - During the battle, the Alliance had lost 3/5 of its total fleet strength and 1/2 of its total ground support. Despite this, they've been willing to provide all remaining forces to the Militia in their fight against the IMC while reorganizing their forces. (+100 Alliance Support, 'Experimental' Weaponry has been added to both ships, and +400 Sword, +600 Hammer) -With the Deimos crew healing from its wounds and the majority of important people alive, the entire crew respects (of loves) the Invictus crew and Militia enough to use the Deimos in their fight. (+100 All Deimos personnel Loyalty, +50 Shield) - With Joker now actually at least trusting the Invictus crew enough, he plans to (or at least try to) convince Commander Jane Shepard to use the Normandy SR-2 in the fight against Cerberus. (Possible +125 Sword) [/spoiler]
