Cause every night I lie in bed, The brightest colors fill my head A million dreams are keeping me awake

I think of what the world could be, A vision of the one I see A million dreams is all it's gonna take

A million dreams for the world we're gonna make...

Non-selective | Multi-verse/Multi-Ship Scott Ryder & his AI SAM of Mass Effect Andromeda Will rp with any Fandom! | OC’s Welcome!

Mass Effect: Andromeda. SAM got stoned

 T’Shori Ryder was alone on the Nexus for once. Well as alone as one could be with a sentient AI in ones head. Using every diplomatic trick up his sleeve to be as untangled as possible from Director Tanns political machinations. Tann wasn’t a bad Salarian but T’Shori didn’t have the taste for his social climbing and petty politics. That was a life he thought he left behind back in the Milky Way. Yet Tann seemed to like his company and he constantly tried to find ways to get his attention or sway the Only Pathfinder on the Nexus to his cause. It was enough to drive any sane person crazy. But now he found some solace within an abandoned part of the Nexus station. Staring out of the large window out into deep space was always very calming T’Shori.

“Dad please give me strength, this is a huge mess you gave me.” He whispered to himself as he gazed at the endless stars.

“T’Shori, your Father did not know the full extent of what you would face as a Pathfinder. But he did love you and believe you could handle the responsibility.” Said SAM, the AI’s soft spoken voice echoing in his head.

“I know SAM, I know. Just a little too much with very little time. SAM?”

“Yes T’Shori.”

“Can you play Gopher It by Moon Boots please.”

“Ok T’Shori playing now.” With the music playing in his ear, the Pathfinder let his fingers dance to the song opening rhythm. Eyes closed he nods his head in sync with the bass and begins to sway. Fingers still dancing on the window’s surface, his body moves like a swaying tethered kite being tusseled by a breeze. Free Ryder just wants to feel free just for a little while longer before he has to wear the mask and become the Pathfinder again. Just before he pushes off the window to start dancing in earnest, he sees Liam standing close by, not close enough to get trampled but close  enough to have seen everything. 

“Oy having a bit of fun yeah.”Liam states arms folded with signature smile in place. Music still playing in his ear Ryder shifts his position so that he is leaning sideways on the window allowing his head to lean on its smooth surface.

“Well Kosta, I was. Didn’t know I was giving a private show though.” He matches his grin allowing his deep brown eyes to burrow deep into Liam’s. “You can come closer you know. I’m not gonna rip you a new one with my mind.”

“Alright cool” The Specialist agreed walking closer to Ryder.

“Besides I could had blasted a hole in your chest at that range if I wanted to anyway. Either way you be fucked”  Ryder smiles as he says this, enjoying the shock on Liam’s face. 

“Wow, I swear you biotics are op for no reason.” Liam chuckles as he walks up to T’Shori.

“You know I like it when you are on your toes. Gotta keep ya guessing.” Ryder teases as he let his finger faintly trace the rough stubble of the Liam’s cheek. Glad to see that he didn’t flinch in the slightest. “Now what brings you down here. Last I check this was an unused part of the Nexus.

Scratching the back of his head Liam explains, “Well I notice how quiet you were all day. Assuming that you were busy with you Pathfinder duties, then I kinda got worried when I saw you quietly sneak away from Director Tann. You alright?”

“Ah yes, Tann. He can be very...persistent.” Ryder sighs shaking his head with a tired smile. 

“T’Shori you sure you are alright” Liam asked placing his hand on Ryder’s shoulder, eyes blazing.

“Kosta I’m good. Trust I...” T’Shori stops as the music in his head lowers as SAM begins to speak.

“T’Shori, Director Tann has been trying to get in contact with you and is now looking for you. Fair warning you have 15 minutes before he finds you.”

“Shit!”

“What?”

“No time to explain.” Grabbing Liam’s hand T’Shori began running dragging the specialist along with him. A takes a moment for Liam to catch himself before he is matching Ryder’s pace fingers still entwined.

“Where are we going Ryder?”
