Normandy SR2 Galaxy map

"Hey Commander, we just picked up an alliance com bowie. They inbound to pick up captain Taylor and his crew. We be long gone by the time they get here"

Shepard smiles looking over the map "Don't even give them the taillights" "Aye, Aye". Shepard starts to walk off heading to the armoury, then to the conference room.

Normandy SR2 Conference room

"what do you mean it wasn't you?" Jacob ask confusingly. Eyebrow raised.

"Jacob, if I leaked the information about The Gernsback, I will be smile at your resolution of the situation. I am not smiling." Illusive man said with a deadpanned expression

"Nothing, and I mean nothing goes through my ship, with out a report to you" Shepard interrupts the conversation between the two

"I had no more reason about Jacob Farther being alive than he did but I am happy to know, the situation is behind you"

"Fine then if it was not you, then who was it," Jacob ask the Illusive man Inquisitively.

"I did" Miranda sliding into the room, with ship on her shoulder. The silence is palpable.

"Was this to mess with him or help, because with you it hard to tell" "ship" Agrees.

"what he did with it was his own business." She looks at Jacob "for a time this matter to you, sending this along felt like a promise. I keep my promises." Jacob nods, Shepard smiles.

"Miranda we will discuss your liberal interpretation of passing security protocols in private. Shepard Jacob." Illusive man cuts the call.

Miranda looks at the two before "Shepard, Benjamin is awake, I believe he is in engineering at the moment" "Ship, Ship" Shepard nods at both. Miranda then leaves with ship.

Shepard turns to Jacob "your Okay?"

"It all Bull Shepard, captain Taylor can rot in prison for all I care. It doesn't change who I am or what I know. I've already mourned the man he used to be I guess he was a good enough father that even he can't screw up what he taught me"

"you know Why Miranda did this?"

"she's got a good memory selective but I haven't thought about those days in a long-time, can't figure which promise she meant though not sure I really want to know she. requires a better man than I come on we've got work to do" They was a pause for a bit as both head out to the hallway between armoury and Lab. "and Commander," Shepard looks at Jacob "Thanks" Jacob pulls out his hand "No problem Jacob. Anytime" Shepard shakes it.

Normandy SR2 Engineering deck.

Shepard walks outs the elevator, and starts looking around for Ben. What strange is why Ben on this Deck. As Shepard gets to Engineering core he sees Tali.

"Hey Tali" Tali turns around "Ah Shepard Glad you stop by, I might need help with something. Fi that too much?" Shepard waves his hands "it fine, I'm looking for Ben. I'm told he came down this Deck"

Tali nods "yes he was here a few moments ago. He asked Kennith and gabby something then went to the hangar bay, I think" Shepard nods "Thanks. So what do you need help with?".

Tali gets a bit Jumpy "well my people, Are charging me with a crime of bringing active Geth to the Floatia and well" Shepard stops her there. "Have you? And what the punishment?"

Tali shakes her head heavily "No oh Keelah. Just parts that could help gives us an advantage Shepard never whole units of Geth. The punishment is Exile. Please Shepard I need help"
