Well, it’s finally time to go save the universe. I tell Joker to head for the scary red relay, while I go take a shower in my weird metal space bathroom. As I step out of bathroom, back in my civvies, I find Garrus waiting for me. I wonder for a moment how long he’s been there, then I wonder what the hell that shirt is he’s got on. I’m a little disappointed, as I wanted a fun armor-removing game. Like, strip poker or something.
He tells me he brought wine, and holds up a bottle even though we can’t drink the same wine. So is the wine just for me? If I didn’t know better, I would be concerned about this turning into some kind of date rape scenario, but we did all the paperwork for this beforehand. Still, I don’t know if I should be getting trashed right before heading into this big huge fight.
Though I guess I’ve been pretty much trashed every chance I’ve gotten so far.
BRING ON THE WINE, GAR-BEAR!
He turns on some music, which I promptly turn off and then go start rubbing up on his scar, because he was right…I do love scars.
Garrus, I tell him…
I still don’t know how to get this shirt off.
A bit later, Joker tells me we’re about to reach the other side of the relay jump, which is the first hard part of the mission because like, every other ship would just explode upon arrival or something. So uh, heh…fingers crossed!
We pop out into a huge debris field of busted up ships and space cars up on space blocks, and toys the kids haven’t bothered to pick up and various tools and such. Joker is doing a nice job navigating it, and the new armor and shields are keeping the ship from getting too banged up.
Suddenly we are being chased by some creepy ass little orb-eye things with guns. One of them manages to blast its way into the cargo bay or somewhere like that I never go so I grab Garrus and Thane and head down there to fuck it the fuck up.
Another one gets in and we kill it too and hope that we’re done with those things for like…I dunno, ever?
Back up by Joker, the Collector’s ship is coming on out to try to shoot us. I hate this dumb rock sculpture bullshit ship, so I tell Joker to fire the main gun and see if Garrus’s calibrations are good as he keeps telling me.
We fly right at the ship and BAM, our gun rips them up something fierce. I want to tell Garrus right then that his gun show is the best gun show ever, but instead we circle around shoot the ship again.
And then we hit a patch of trouble and the Normandy crashes on the Collector base. Fuuuuuuuuuuuck. Can we fix it? I know I’ve been all like “oh we might all die” but that’s just complete bullshit, I don’t intend for that to happen at all.
I tell EDI to work on it, and gather the squad around my table. It’s really nice, and I think we will have a big Christmas dinner in here, come December.
