PSA - So, I might be without internet

[So, I mentioned a couple of times here that I was moving. I got a place of my own (teensy, tiny, itty bitty place, but it’s miiine) and over the course of the week I’ve been slowly osmosising my way over. Starting today, my bed will be arriving, and from here on out I’m going to start sleeping over there.  Right now, I do not have internet access at the new place, and I’m unsure when I will be getting internet access. I’ve been shopping around for rates, and found what seems to be a good deal, but I need to call them to confirm a few things first. Until then, no internet means no Garrus or Solana, so mini Hiatus is thus initiated until I can next log on. Hopefully this shouldn’t take more than a week.]

“I’m not that easy to kill, Solana.” Garrus replied with a soft sigh. “You ok? How’s dad?”

[turianflaps-archive]

Garrus knew he had a lot of explaining to do. He also knew that his father and sister would never approve of him being completely smitten over a human. He decided to keep that part to himself for now. Shepard didn’t even know about his feelings.

“Yes, it was.” He answered. “We have been traveling all over basically the moment I left.” He explained, watching his sister for a moment.

“Yes, that is him.” He replied. “I suppose so, he was one of the greatest threats this galaxy has ever seen, weather he had good intentions at first or not.” He commented then paused for a moment. “I won’t miss him. He was a menace before he even began to help the reapers.” He murmured.

Solana only gave a noncommittal noise, still perusing through the file. She truthfully knew little of Saren, or of Spectres in general; Only that Dad disliked them with a passion. She could still recall eavesdropping as a child as her father complained about such and such an investigation interrupted by the meddling of these so called Spectres, super officers unbound by the rules of the law. “Power does have a way of going to people’s heads. Just make sure the spectre you decided to run off with doesn’t have the same delusions of grandeur, otherwise you’ll be repeating the exercise with Saren a second time.” She peered over her data pad, suddenly frowning. “The what?” Solana blinked, confused. For an instant her translator kicked in, but the word Garrus used made no sense to her. “Speak Citinian, Garrus, not everyone spends all day gallivanting with aliens. What in Spirit’s name is a ‘Reaper’?”

“The whole street is blocked off. The police won’t tell us anything, but I think there’s been some kind of attack… Maybe a bomb?”

[thorians-deactivated20151021]

“An attack? “ the matron reiterated, facing the turian with inquisitive eyes, her high-pitched tone suggesting she was taken aback by such occurence.  “What happened?”

[cxdebreaker-blog]

“A circus is in town, and the entire facility is celebrating galactic peace.” Solana answered, deadpan. She looked up from her omni-tool long enough to fix the Asari with a scowl. “Obviously if I knew that I wouldn’t be wasting time here, would I? Gah...Dammit!” She dropped her arm with a snarl.  “Whatever it is, they’re blocking coms. Even the back-up network is blocked and that was set up for local use only. Which means...” She scarcely seemed to be speaking to the Asari anymore, voicing her thoughts out loud. “Someone’s set up a short-ranged jamming device at the same time that a station-wide lock-down was initiated. And as per usual, security has no idea what’s going on.” 

[littlestarletness]

Alright, Ness told herself.  She could do this.  She’d already gotten a reaction that wasn’t explicitly anger, or at least not the kind of anger that was likely to end with her lying in a puddle of her own blood.  And who said all those nights rehearsing for auditions were a waste of her time?  Today she was playing the part of the pathetically terrified and all but blubbering little girl - which wasn’t much of a stretch, really, as she was quite frightened in truth.  She just had to… exaggerate a bit.

With a little hiccup, she reached up with trembling hands to scrub at her eyes.  “I didn’t m-mean anything by it,” she said, her voice woefully tiny as she took a calculated moment to meet the turian’s eyes, then almost immediately look away again.  “I-I-I-I have a problem!  S-sometimes this just happens, y’know?”  She curled in on herself slightly, giving off the smallest, most vulnerable air she could manage.  “I r-really didn’t mean to…”

[cxdebreaker-blog]

“Alright!” Ugh, she just couldn’t take it! Solana held up her hands, careful to keep her distance. “I’m not going to have you arrested. There’s too much paperwork and I don’t have that much time. Just stop leaking, Spirits.” She refused to think of all the germs the Asari was practically gushing. She made a mental note to thoroughly disinfect her data pad when she got home. “Just...Be more careful next time. Others might not be so nice.” Solana added reproachfully. She stopped long enough to consider the leaking mess of girl in front of her. Though Solana only knew a handful of Asari, even she could tell that this one was quite young. She didn’t know what led her to such a conclusion. But there was something altogether half-grown about the Maiden, and the runny eyes didn’t help matters either. “You seem a little young to be getting into trouble with strangers,” Solana said suspiciously.

“I’m not that easy to kill, Solana.” Garrus replied with a soft sigh. “You ok? How’s dad?”

[turianflaps-archive]

Garrus sighed and ran a hand over his fringe. Where to even begin explaining this?

“I know, but it’s a long story. ” He replied.“ I decided to team up with Shepard, that new human spectre. ” he explained.“ We had a common goal; to take down Saren. And with her on my side, I wouldn’t have to worry about the usual red tape getting in the way of my investigation. ” he sighed again.“ We managed to take down Saren. I called you at my earliest opportunity. Right now I’m on the Normandy with Shepard. ”

[cxdebreaker-blog]

It was not the type of explanation Solana had been expecting. And yet she was intrigued. Baffled, certainly. And more than a little concerned at how quickly Garrus had decided to throw out his career and jump ship with a human of all things. But intrigued.  “You quit months ago, this was really your earliest opportunity?” Solana quipped, but there was no edge to the reprimand as she leaned forward to dig for a datapad off camera, wearing a look that spoke of puzzle pieces being rearranged in her head.  “Saren....I’ve heard that name before. You’re talking about the spectre, aren’t you. Saren Arterius.” She started flipping through a data pad, hitting upon the information in no time. “Right, here it is. Conspiring with the Geth. An attempted coup on the Citadel.” She raised her brow plates. “The Hierarchy is posthumously accusing him of treason. I guess congratulations are in order.”

X ofbulletinnuendos “Spirits, Garrus! What did you do to your face!?”

[ofbulletinnuendos-blog]

“I was helping a… friend… I’m fine, it’s all healed” he reassured his sister quickly, trying to smile the best he could for her sake.

[cxdebreaker-blog]

“Fine!?” Solana paused long enough to laugh at that, a high pitched, thready sound. “Garrus. It looks like you tried to stop an explosion.” She gestured violently.  “With your face.”    She clacked her mandibles closed long enough to bite down on anything more she wanted to say. And there was plenty more because leave it to fucking Garrus to show up out of the blue one one day looking like he’d been chewed up and spit out of Hell itself, only to say that he was fine. Yeah. Sure. And she was the fricken Primarch.  “Clearly you were busy doing more than ‘helping a friend’.” Solana said, eyes flicking up and down Garrus’ bullet ridden armor. With sudden fervor she pointed to the nearest chair.  “Sit.” She ordered, turning heel and moving towards the icebox. “Get that junk off. And start from the beginning.” She returned with glass of juice shoved into Garrus’ hands and determination in her eyes. Garrus wasn’t getting away from her until she got the whole story.

Plot Ideas

[[Just a couple of ideas I have for Sol. If anyone is interested in any of these please let me know and we’ll figure something out. Going to eventually make these verses, but for now, I just want to get them out before I forget]]

Plot Bunny 1- An AU in which Garrus dies during the assault on the collector base and Solana is instead recruited from Menae during the Reaper war.

Before his death, Garrus asked his friend, Liara T’Soni, to hold on to a message for him in the (very likely) event that he didn’t survive the suicide mission. It was essentially one last letter to his family, outlining his reasons, apologizing for leaving, and including a detailed warning of the coming reapers. Because of this information, Solana and her father were able to convince the Primarch to provide them with resources to better prepare Palaven for the impending attack. When it does hit, Solana finds herself in the completely undeserved and unexpected position as Palaven’s ‘reaper expert’ and is sent to Menae to oversee the war effort. Solana holds Shepard squarely responsible for luring her brother to his death. Despite this, she also recognizes that the Commander is the best chance the Galaxy has at winning the war. Shepard may have pointed the gun, but the Reapaers pulled the trigger, and she’s determined to see them destroyed for it.

Plot Bunny 2 - Surviving Palaven

Takes place during the events of ME3 and the Reaper invasion of Palaven. Solana finds herself in the midst of the end of the world when the Reapers come to Cipritine and burn the city to the ground. Trying to find her missing father, she teams up with other survivors to form an impromptu militia. They don’t expect to do any real damage and news from the outside is rare. Their only goal is survival.

[[If I can think of more I’ll reblog this with fresh ideas. For now my brain decided it was done co-operating]]

X littlestarletness “Excuse me. That’s mine.”

[littlestarletness]

“Oh, um, is it?  Very sorry.  My mistake.  Must not have been thinking!  Um, here, why don’t you just take this back…”

[cxdebreaker-blog]

Sol didn’t so much as blink as she stared at the asari girl. She didn’t buy it. Sure, it could have been an accident…- But there was plenty of room on the transport and Solana had literally put down the datapad for all of three minutes. Narrowing her eyes, she snatched back her device, holding it gingerly between forefinger and thumb as she fished out an antibacterial cloth to quickly run over its surface. “Did you know…” Solana said, in slow, careful measures. “That it is a capital offense to steal classified information from the Turian military?”  

[littlestarletness]

Ness squeaked and pulled back, her hands clasping nervously together in front of her chest.  “I-I-I didn’t mean to—I mean, I didn’t know that—I didn’t read any—I mean, th-this is all just a misunderstanding!”  She summoned up her acting experience (aided by the fact that she was indeed scared out of her mind) and let only partially genuine fearful tears well up in her eyes.  “I-I just picked it up!  Honest!  I wasn’t gonna do anything with it, I swear!”

[cxdebreaker-blog]

“Ah.” Solana lifted her head. “So it isn’t “my mistake” anymore. Now it’s ‘I wasn’t going to do anything with it’.” She tucked the datapad away safely, crossing her arms. The girl seemed to be at a frantic crossroad. Solana didn’t think she’d ever seen someone dissolve so quickly into a mess of stuttered responses and pleading. It was enough to make her scowl in irritation.  “Oh, Don’t give me that! Show a little dignity! Wipe your....fluids.” She clacked her mandibles closed. The Asari’s eyes were leaking. She did not know if this was normal. It didn’t seem normal.

“I’m not that easy to kill, Solana.” Garrus replied with a soft sigh. “You ok? How’s dad?”

[cxdebreaker-blog]

“Not like I would know,” Solana said flippantly. “You dropped of the face of the Citadel without so much as a call. How do you think Dad is? He’s pulling in every favour he’s owed from here to C-Sec trying to figure out why the hell you quit.” She paused long enough to lean back in her chair, regarding the vid screen with a frown. “So? Why the hell did you quit? What’s going on, Garrus? Where are you?”
