Lost in this place

Garrus is here. | ’Open’

"Well," Tali laughed, "We did do all of the hard work! Well... us. And Liara... And Kasumi helped, too. And Dr. Chakwas.. and there was Jack... But Shepard was there."  She paused then sighed. "I miss her," she said simply.

“True, true. You should have seen us when we first met up on the Citadel with Shepard. The looks he gave me…” Garrus shivers sarcastically, then laughs. “Ahh, Admiral Raan you say? Remind me to give her a big ‘thank you’ hug.” Garrus chuckled as he examined the files on the table, many petitions from all over the galaxy were made. Especially to honor Shepard.

"Oh, I remember plenty from the Normandy," Tali laughed softly. "...Sometimes, I thought he'd headbutt you just because you were there." She paused, for dramatic effect. "Not much has changed, really." While speaking, she flicked a few of the petitions around the desk, for something to do with her hands, glancing at the petitions. "Every block wants their monument," she said softly. "Of Shepard doing something heroic. I'd like to see just one of her playing poker... Or one of the times she ran around screaming 'I'm on fire, guys, help, I'm on fire!'"

“Oh ho ho! I don’t think we’d have to much trouble… nah. Just kidding, we would probably all be flying out in space because the Krogan got sick of us or something like that. I’m pretty sure I’d be safe though, long as I was with Wrex that is.” He laughs as they approach the base. Busy work was happening everywhere, humans, salarians, turians, quarians, a couple of geth, krogan, and now the Reapers themselves. They were all working together. Helping rebuild all that was lost. “This truly amazes me, Tali. I’m sure a very special Admiral helped organize all this. Am I right?” He chuckles softly as he leans over a desk, covered with plans to help Earth.

"Even you and Wrex would grind on each other's nerves," she laughed, "And try to throw each other out of the airlock. It would be very tragic. I think Eve would miss the both of you." At the turn of conversation she gave an awkward, unable to handle the compliment shrug. "Admiral Raan has been indispensable," she teased.

Tali made a vague sound and her body language closed. "I'm not... injured. During the worst of it on Earth, we were flying through the galaxy..." Fighting, yes, but even the unbelievable terror of the suicide mission hadn't  shaken her like this. Her nightmares had the distinctive sound of the Reapers but also the mountains of the dead and injured without being able to do anything. "I... don't think I'm ready to talk about them, yet," she admitted. "I just needed to know it was normal."

Tali sighed. "...Nightmares are normal after things like this, aren't they?" She finally asked, a little nervous. Though, she had to admit that the being afraid to sleep thing was probably not normal. Working until she crashed, maxing out the stims twice as fast as she was supposed to, she alternated between crashing and buzzing.

((I love thhis OC! :D A geth disguised as a quarian, I love it!))

(( O.O ..This is actually a fantastic concept.))

(Having a geth OC would be adorable :3 )

“I wouldn’t put it past them.” He chuckles, “They would for sure if Udina was still in office.” He looks at the small quarian as he found that he missed her as well. “I’m glad to see you here helping out though Tali. I’m sure you would’ve liked to go back to Rannoch after the war. Yet you stayed to help the humans. Respectable  but I must question why?” He thinks about the question for a moment, then sighs. “Nevermind, we owe Shepard that much; don’t we?” He asks thoughtfully.

"I am learning that Udina is not unique," she sighed softly, absently walking with him towards the base camp. "Just in the scale of what he managed. A spot on the Council for humans and... well. Cerberus." She shook her head, "But they keep talking to me as if I know anything. I owe Shepard that much... rebuild her homeworld because she gave me mine back. I also owe it to the Quarians who came because I asked them to." Yes, Shepard had made the formal plea, and Shepard who had brought them about but Tali felt her own guilt at bringing them to die against the Reapers and away from their homeworld. "Anyways," she refused to wallow in negative emotions, "What would you Turians do without our liveships?" she teased him.

“That is a really good idea, Tali. We totally should do that.” Karin agreed with the Quarian. “And this shouldn’t feel so hart, but I don’t think it’s because Shepard is gone. It’s more that the common enemy is gone and now everything is starting to work towards their own goals again. But we can’t give up. We have to at least try.”

"If nothing else, it will keep us from sulking and licking our wounds alone?" She didn't necessarily understand the human expression but she did understand the sentiment and she was definitely not considering herself in this, nope. It wasn't like she wanted to go back to the private space she shared with Kasumi and be alone or anything. She wouldn't want that.

"We should get people around for a round of Skyllian 5, then," she told her and sighed. "I keep feeling like... Shepard would know what to do about everything. With supporting Liara and making sure we maintain peace. With all of us... we are all on different pages without Shepard holding us together."

"Of course," she nodded. "I'm going to try to build the programming for identifying the ordinances independently though I want to see what algorithms you're using, but I will see how to make your monitors mobile." She kept fiddling with the ordinance, frowning while she watched the schematic.

“Tali…? There you are! Ha!” Garrus came down to greet his quarian friend, “It’s been to long, Tali. How are you?” He announced. He was still looking around Earth in disbelief though. The Reapers just roaming around here made him feel quite uneasy.

"Um, busy," she said, almost sheepishly, "We're... rebuilding everything on Earth." She had grown... used to the Reapers trying to help, even if it made her skin crawl when she thought about it too much. "I feel like humans are going to use this to make Earth the center of the galaxy," she was amused and a little teasing. 

New Tech | Liara

She nodded, "...So do you think it was planted after they'd swept the place first? I'm sure we can add in a detector for non-authorized lifeforms. It may even help find refugees buried under rubble... though, perhaps it needs to be developed as two different equipment sets for rescue crews..." They still didn't know what was happening with the supposedly helping Reapers and... well, it was just easier to have everyone else do the work.

"Garrus!" Tali waved, quite enthusiastically. People had buzzed with the news of the returning Normandy, so she had run to be the first to see who came off. She stopped short of running up to him but she still bounced enthusiastically. She had missed him.

"Completely undetected?" she looked up and scanned it again. "It might have a dormant stage that requires a pulse to activate it..." She spoke into her omnitool to follow her thought process - perhaps like the latent forms of indoctrination? She could try using some of the codes for finding Reaper artifacts...
