Commander Shepard

I’m here to get the job done. #MERP

The stars outside the Normandy glimmered cold and distant, their light stark against the green hue that now lingered in its halls. Synthesis had changed everything. Flesh and machine intertwined. Minds connected by an -

“I think the ship needs heating. The galaxy can be … cold.”

[Commander Shepard @ZenithProtector]

No duh.

[Globe Eye News @GlobeEyeNews]

BREAKING:

Former U.S. President Obama confirms that aliens are real.

[Commander Shepard @ZenithProtector]

His turn to be black-out drunk on the floor.

[Commander Shepard @ZenithProtector]

“Like I said,” a smug tilt of his head, ignoring her remark, “Care to explain how monitoring my team’s wellbeing qualifies as clingy, Miranda?”

[𝐌𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐋𝐚𝐰𝐬𝐨𝐧. @OfPerfectGenes]

Miranda leans back comfortably in her chair, one leg resting over the other.

“I was only poking fun. Clearly.”

[Commander Shepard @ZenithProtector]

Big yawn. Big stretch.

[Commander Shepard @ZenithProtector]

He takes a seat as she suggests. A hint of intrigue sparks in his gaze and his brow furrows at what sounds like playful jab at his character. “Clingy?” He folds his arms.

“Care to explain how monitoring my team’s wellbeing qualifies as that?”

[𝐌𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐋𝐚𝐰𝐬𝐨𝐧. @OfPerfectGenes]

His act of nonchalance is in vain. The notion that he even attempts to give off such an impression only adds to her amusement.

“Ah, the clingy type,” she teases, a grin in her voice and upon her lips. “You’re welcome to take a seat. I have some time.”

[Commander Shepard @ZenithProtector]

In an attempt to appear relaxed, Shepard crosses his arms and leans against the wall. Seemingly unconcerned, he shrugs.

“I like to check in on my teammates, old habit.”

[𝐌𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐋𝐚𝐰𝐬𝐨𝐧. @OfPerfectGenes]

A single, perfectly shaped brow arches upward. The corner of her mouth twitches, betraying the faintest hint of amusement.

She studies him, elegantly sipping at her coffee once more.

“Did you need something?”

[Commander Shepard @ZenithProtector]

Snaps out of it. Trying and failing to pretend that he hadn’t been staring. “Miranda.”

[𝐌𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐋𝐚𝐰𝐬𝐨𝐧. @OfPerfectGenes]

“Yes..?”

[Commander Shepard @ZenithProtector]

Stares.

[𝐌𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐋𝐚𝐰𝐬𝐨𝐧. @OfPerfectGenes]

Sips at her steaming coffee.

[Commander Shepard @ZenithProtector]

Only once? Doubt it. Not if I push the right buttons.

[ᅠ*ᅠ𝖽𝗋. ;ᅠ𝚃’𝚂𝙾𝙽𝙸.ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ @embracetrnity]

i wouldn’t call it aggression, merely a relatively friendly competition. i’m sorry, shepard, but some opportunities only come once.

[Commander Shepard @ZenithProtector]

I wouldn’t condone aggression without a good reason, Liara… It’s a shame I didn’t hear about this sooner. I have to admit, I’d have paid to see that.

[ᅠ*ᅠ𝖽𝗋. ;ᅠ𝚃’𝚂𝙾𝙽𝙸.ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ @embracetrnity]

it was merely a passing thought … after lieutenant hale questioned the asari’s proficiency in combat. i offered him a brief demonstration ⸻ don’t worry. the only thing that got hurt was his ego.

[Commander Shepard @ZenithProtector]

Risking your trust has never been part of my plans. But I have to ask, who pissed you off enough that you had to remind them about your Krogan bloodline?

[ᅠ*ᅠ𝖽𝗋. ;ᅠ𝚃’𝚂𝙾𝙽𝙸.ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ @embracetrnity]

you haven’t, despite everything we’ve been through. i guess we’re both pretty lucky.

[Commander Shepard @ZenithProtector]

I don’t think I have given you a reason to doubt this friendship. But yes, actually, I do consider myself lucky to have it.

[ᅠ*ᅠ𝖽𝗋. ;ᅠ𝚃’𝚂𝙾𝙽𝙸.ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ @embracetrnity]

indeed. lucky for you, we’re still friends.

[Commander Shepard @ZenithProtector]

Quite intimidating.

[ᅠ*ᅠ𝖽𝗋. ;ᅠ𝚃’𝚂𝙾𝙽𝙸.ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ @embracetrnity]

i get the feeling many of you tend to forget that i’m one - quarter krogan ⸻.

Enters @SHADOWEDBROKER’s office unannounced. Again.

[Commander Shepard @ZenithProtector]

Can’t feel it through the heavy armor.

Poking @ZenithProtector.
