Well Jacob’s mission was a real buzzkill.
Garrus, Thane. Get your guns, we’re going to the Citadel and we’re doing yous guys’ shit.
Yes we are going drinking afterwards. I can’t believe you even have to ask that.
I decide to start with Garrus’s. A contact is waiting in a warehouse near that talking soda machine. Soda? Is it soda? I guess I never really made note of what it was actually selling. Just that it was really enthusiastic about it. I am an advertising execs’ nightmare. My brain logs absolute no relevant information of what it hears.
In the warehouse is a little volus and a couple of Krogan bodyguards. The volus claims to be Fade and I start thinking of how cool it would be roll him like a big bowling ball into those two Krogan. Garrus threatens the little volus to tell him where Sidonis is and the volus freaks out. Okay, we got him, he’s not Fade and his bodyguards back down easily when confronted by three people who look slightly buzzed and absolutely ready to kill anything.
The volus tells us that Fade is actually Harkin.
I remember that fucker.
He tells us where to find him and we take off. I am feeling punchy already and Garrus is getting like super worked up. Maybe a little too worked up. I decide to tone down my anger for Garrus’s sake. Let’s get another drink quick, buddy, okay. Loosen up and stuff. No, no, Garrus no punching everyone we see. I’m mad too, but let’s reel this in a bit.
We head to the warehouse where we find Harkin and a bunch of Blue Suns. Harkin runs inside and leaves like 3 mercs to handle us. Garrus cackles at him and I begin to wonder if the stop at the bar was a good idea. Garrrruuuuuusssssss.
Inside we fight our way past more mercs and a couple of heavy mechs before finally reaching Harkin. Garrus roughs him up a bit, until Harkin finally sets up a meeting for Garrus with Sidonis. As we leave, Garrus goes to shoot Harkin but I stop him.
Seriously buddy, let’s just go okay. No he pisses me off too but let’s just…c’mon. Garrus turns and headbutts Harkin instead.
Haha, okay I’ll allow that. Headbutting is hilarious.
On our way to the meeting point, I try to talk Garrus out of shooting a guy in the head in the middle of a public gathering place. Look Garrus, let me talk to him, this might reflect poorly on me. Also you are getting like a crazed look in your eyes that I find kind of unsettling. Garrus insists that he wants to do this and I tell him I’m worried about him and he tells me he’s fine and we go back and forth for a bit until we finally move into position and Thane gives me a look from the back seat that says “That conversation will be awkward to relive in perfect detail later.”
Sorry.
I find Sidonis and approach him. Garrus tells me to move so he can shoot him, but I stand there and talk to him for a while, telling him not to move or ya know, KAPOW. Sidonis panicks a bit and then breaks down, telling me all kinds of depressing shit. Aww, Garrus look at this guy. You can’t shoot this guy. He’s like…pathetic.
Fine, Garrus says.
We all head back to cab and I reassure Garrus that he did the right thing.
Don’t worry Gar-Bear.
Shep will make it all better.
