Fae sighed heavily as the elevator began its descent, "Thane…" "He does not belong here." "Maybe not, but he does deserve a chance." "No." "Thane, he's not a little boy anymore. No matter how much you want it to be otherwise…" "But Shepard-" "But nothing. I'm giving him a chance; he made some very valid points. I can also trust him to look out for you." Thane stiffened, "Pardon?" "You know what I'm talking about. You honestly think I'm gonna allow the lies to continue? No. You're going to start taking better care of yourself. If not for me, then for Kolyat. "Fae!" "It doesn't matter! We're arguing over nothing." She snappe

I'd never really cared about anyone in my life. And no one had every really cared about me. I was born six years before the Systems Alliance Parliament was founded and eight years before the Arcturus Station was completed. Turbulent times. Humans emigrated, to Demeter, Terra Nova, Eden Prime. Colourful names for exotic places accessible only to those who could afford the trip. Those that couldn't... Well. My entire childhood had revolved about survival. Hiding, stealing, dodging, the occasional shooting. Sure, we kids stuck together, in small, pathetic gangs more concerned with rites and dominance than with strategy – that's how we got

"Shepard…" "Follow him on the catwalks; yea I got it Krios." "I do not doubt that you understood the task Shepard, I am merely asking for the target's position…" Oh…my bad… "It looks like the bastard is bitching at some voters. 'Humans are scum, their species is a taint upon galactic society' blah blah fuckin blah…" She heard Thane stifle a small laugh through her earpiece, causing her to grin as she watched the anti-human turian politician below her. A lot of what he was saying was making her want to rip the mandibles right off his grasshopper like face, but she had to be stealthy… which pissed her off to n

Kolyat stretched, cringing as his feet hit the side of the gun rack his cot lay near. He missed being home, with his nice comfy bed that he wasn't too tall for. He sat up, glancing around Life Support. He noticed his father's sleeping form; Thane sprawled across the cot as if he had just thrown himself into bed, the assassin hadn't even bothered to get undressed. Kolyat had seen how exhausted his father looked, feeling slightly guilty that his attempt at following in the old man's footsteps had been the cause. He wasn't on the best of terms with the elder Krios, but he certainly didn't wish him ill…or more accurately, more ill than he a

Kolyat woke in the morning to find his father and Fae in the Mess. They were eating whatever it was the mess sergeant, Gardner, had made. 'Oatmeal' was what the strange concoction was named, but Kolyat was unwilling to try it, opting for toast. He sat down at their table. "Good morning!" Fae sang out, stuffing her face immediately after greeting him, she then said something resembling 'Did you sleep well?' but Kolyat was unable to tell for sure… "Why don't you try to chew your food before speaking, Commander." His father murmured, taking a much smaller bite of his own food. Fae made a strange gesture with her hand, holding up her fist

"Hey…" "Oh! Hey Kolyat, what are you doing down here?" The drell shrugged as he approached her, dressed in a thin T-shirt and drawstring pants, "Well I noticed you kinda stormed off after talking with Garrus, Dad told me to give you a few minutes before following." "Smart man that Krios." She chuckled, slapping her hand on the crate next to the one she was sitting on, "Have a seat." Kolyat looked around before sitting, "Man this place is huge…" The cargo bay could easily fit his aunt's house, including the surrounding buildings. "Yea, it's much bigger than the original Normandy. Kinda makes me wonder if the Illusive Man is co

"You, Sere, are an idiot…" Kolyat had never heard Fae address his father like that. He had just exited the showers, not meaning to eavesdrop, but hearing Fae and his father fighting had caused him to pause. "You are not a doctor, Shepard; I am fine I assure you." "Yea, you're the picture of health. I completely forgot that only the healthiest individuals hack up their own organs." "It was a moment of weakness nothing more, it will not happen again…" "Yea, not where I can catch you, you aren't sleeping are you?" It was true. In the two days Kolyat had stayed aboard the Normandy he had seen his father sleep maybe once. The rest
