On the ship, Liara insists we get to the Citadel right away as Kaidan needs medical attention. I agree this is a good plan. I don’t know where else she thought I was planning to go, but I do have a tendency to forget what I’m supposed to be doing and look for a place to party instead. The Citadel should have that though, right? So, yeah let’s go there.
We also show Hackett the Crucible plans. He calls Liara by her first name and I’m a little like “uh, dude, I know she’s blue but she’s got a doctorate. I’m buddy-buddy with her, I can call her Liara, YOU can call her Dr. T’Soni.”
At the Citadel, they rush Kaidan to Huerta Memorial Hospital and I’m greeted by Captain Bailey who is now Commander. He says the council is ready to see me, but no rush or anything. They got a game of bridge going and I can take my time. Liara says she’ll head up there right now, because she loves bridge. James is just gonna hang out and look around because he’s never been here before! OH AREN’T YOU JUST PRECIOUS.
I look around the map and see that there’s no place to party. Hmph. I guess I’ll go talk to Councilor Udina…wait a minute why is he councilor and not Anderson? I made Anderson councilor. Seriously what happened while I was drunk for several months?
We get to the council and they are being their usual asses. At least they finally believe there are reapers. Not that that is especially comforting right now. And the fuck is up with Udina’s hair? Did he get some Just for Men so he can hook up with asari strippers? You look like an ass dude, you should’ve gone for the Touch of Gray at least.
They seem to think it’s pointless to try to help Earth or to even unite at all. Let’s just all fight on our own and see how it goes, probably super awesome right? I sigh and show them the crucible plans which they are ALSO wishy washy on and I am plotting time travel to go back to the geth attack and let them die…
The meeting ends with me having no help for Earth, but then the turian councilor comes up to Udina’s office who, instead of just apologizing for that air quote thing, asks me to go to Palaven and save the turian Primarch, to get the rest of the turians on my side. I had assumed my cross-species relations with the best turian ever would have already lured them to my side, but I guess not.
He also tells me that I still get to be a Spectre. GEE THANKS YOU’RE SO GENEROUS HOW WILL I EVER REPAY YOU.
I walk across the hall to the Spectre offices then and look at some panels and OH FUCK YES A SHOOTING RANGE. I desperately need to blow off some steam and shooting stuff is a close third after banging my boyfriend and drinking too much.
Also in this hallway is Bailey’s office. I find him talking to that reporter who is very upset about stuff. I can’t remember her name ever. K..something…look I’m gonna have to meet you more than three times before I remember it. OOH CAN YOU WRITE IT DOWN IN THE JOURNAL FOR ME?
I talk to Bailey who doesn’t like his job, then leave to head to the elevator. Reporter McLongName is there though and I get her to calm her tits for a few minutes and stop yelling at me.
Then I see JAMES! James is here just staring out a window! He says the Citadel isn’t his type of place and I’m like, well maybe we can still find a bar ooh also there’s a shooting range! But I don’t think you can go in it. Uh, sorry. Sorry I even mentioned it.
Then I finally I get a chance to head down to the hospital and see Kaidan…
