Yeehaw, Motherfuckers

Pairing: None Warning: None Genre: Comedy  Prompt: Shane taking Gunther out for a test drive. (given by ltcortez) [for those who don't know, Gunther is Shane's Mako]

"You people are insane. I drive fine," Shane said, exasperation in her tone as she rolled her eyes. She climbed up into the beast of a tank, grinning to herself. 

"Do we even know if they fixed half of what was wrong with the batch we got the SR-1's from?" 

"Dunno. That's why it's a test run," the Commander replied. 

"She's all ready to go Commander. Er-- he," Cortez said, making his way over. 

"Thanks, Steve," Shane said. 

"I still don't like it."

"I know, Steve."

"Can I just drop it out of the ship?"

"It has thrusters, Steve."

"Could you purposely crash it?"

"No, Steve."  

"...Good luck, Commander."

"Danke." 

Shane closed the door then grinned to herself as she checked the systems over. She pulled up her omni-tool so she could go over everything that had changed in the new model. 

"Perfect," she murmured before rolling it out of the back of the Normandy once everyone had retreated from the shuttle bay for safety reasons. 

The planet she had chosen for the test run was relatively quiet. No real colony to speak of, or a threat from either the Reapers or Cerberus. So, she was able to meander along in the Mako just fine.

The controls were a lot easier to deal with than in the model that had made most people afraid of the thing. 

Of course, Shane did indulge in a few shots off of a hill or two. How could she not? The Mako flew beautifully, at the least. 

The last jump she performed however sent her flying a bit further than she'd intended. And she had managed to make it flip over. If anyone in the Normandy was watching, they probably expected it and simultaneously were glad they weren't in it. The Commander just laughed to herself over it. 

The Mako literally slid to a stop when she finally got it to land. She chuckled to herself then shook her head. 

"The tank goes fine, guys. Pick me up." 

"On our way, Commander," Steve replied.

Prompt: Shane and Krosaz taking a ride in the Mako. (He won't complain. He'd probably have fun.)

((Also I dunno why the formatting is fucked up but I can't fix it for whatever reason.))

"Yeah and people are crazy, Kro. I am a good damn driver," Shepard said firmly. She offered a nod then smiled lightly. 

"I believe you," Krosaz said. Shepard nodded to him before making her way into the vehicle. She leaned over to strap him in as well. She started the engine and it rumbled happily under them. 

"You're going to love this," Shepard said with a firm nod. She then shot off over a dune on the sandy planet she had picked for their little outing. 

As she had said, she made the damn thing fly. It soared along through the air, and it wasn't even with help from her biotics! She could hear Kro starting to laugh from the pleasure of flying through the air in the vehicle that cost the Alliance millions of credits. 

Seconds later, and rather too early in Shepard's opinion, the Mako landed. It kicked up dust easily onto the windshield but it didn't matter. She didn't need to see out of it that much. She hit another dune but this time she made the Mako somersault. 

"You're definitely better at driving than I am, amicus," Krosaz admitted while laughing and staring around them. 

"Well than you, Kro!" she said before making a donut in the sand. She shot off once again. Another dune and another few flips. She then popped a wheelie in the thing. Shepard really knew how to make it dance. But many had said before, the Mako wasn't meant to dance. 

Oh well. There were a lot of things that she was able to do when others couldn't. 

"I'm glad I didn't eat," Kro said, still laughing as Shepard took one of the bigger dunes and the Mako was launched sky high. 

"Oh, you bet I did. Biotic metabolism. You'll get the hang of it!" Shepard said, laughing as she continued to drive. 

Well, she was driving until she slammed nose first into one of the dunes. 

"Woops," she said. She used the thrusters to wiggle the Mako away and then hop over the dune. 

"Yesss!" she said triumphantly. 

The day proved to be filled with dancing, jumping, and donut-making in the Mako. Just like she liked it.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil. For I am driving a house-sized mass of FUCK YOU!

[spectrewolf]

You don't hit medical vehicles. Gosh. And people call me a bad driver.

[spectrewolf]

I'm pretty sure cannons shouldn't look like that...
