Joker- We’re going as fast as we can, but if we can’t find a working relay it’s going to be a few more days.
Garrus- Have we had any response to the messages we have sent?
Joker- No, nothing solid but we did get a week ping out of the Trebia system.
Garrus- Palaven?
Joker- Possibly. Edi can yo- (Joker looks downs saddened)
(Liara puts her hand on Joker’s shoulder)
Garrus- Well then why the hell are we going to Earth?! How do we even know Earth is still there?!
Joker- We are going there because this is my ship and Shepard is there!!!
Garrus- Shepard IS DE…
Liara- ENOUGH!!! This isnt getting us anywhere!
Garrus- Liara I’m sor…
Liara- I know it’s ok where all on edge
Garrus- I’ll go back and work on the comms. (Garrus leaves scene)

Chakwas- I’d be happy to, have a seat (Liara sits on medical bay bed). What kind of symptoms have you had?
Liara- Upset stomach, vomiting, headaches, and unable to sleep.
Chakwas- Hmmm, let me take a look. Any Fever?
Liara- No.
Chakwas- Shortness of breath?
Liara- No.

Scene Six
Normandy Shuttle, Heading to Earth to find Shepard, Liara and Garrus (Play as Liara in a conversation sequence with Garrus)
(Liara looks upset or worried, Garrus notices)
Garrus- Liara what’s the matter? You haven’t looked like you feel very well the past couple of days.
Liara- It’s nothing I’m just worried about Shepard.
Garrus- Liara don’t lie to me there is something more. Isn’t there?
(Liara touches her stomach, looks at Garrus with tears in her eyes)
Garrus- What?! Are you serious?
Liara- Does it look like I’m joking?!
Garrus- I’m sorry but you should be happy you sho…
Liara- And what if… what if he’s de…
Garrus- You can’t think like that you have to believe he is still alive.
Liara- I’m not sure what to believe in any more. I don’t know who is left. I don’t know what is left. You know in a time like this I would pray to the goddess but now I know she is just a lie.
Garrus- Liara, we all have lost, some more than others
Liara- But I may have lost it all.
Garrus- But you can’t believe it. When we we’re some ragtag group chasing down Saren, had to stop the Geth, stop Sovereign, when Shepard led us through the Omega 4 relay to fight the collectors, and when we had to stop the full might of the Reapers all we had was hope. Hope that Shepard would somehow someway pull us through it. We had to believe he would get us through the entire galaxy relying on one man. If he can do that he can get through this, but you have to believe.
Liara- Thank you Garrus
Cortez- We’re coming in
END OF SCENE
Scene Seven

Garrus- How bad is it?
Coats- Of all the forces we sent in 93% are dead or still missing. But more and more trickle in every day.
Garrus- What happened to Primarch Victus?
Coats- You haven’t heard?
Garrus- What?
Coats- He died with his men defending a human family as they escaped from Reaper forces. He died a hero, as so many others did.
(As Coats consoles Garrus, Liara heads into Shepard’s room to meet Admiral Hackett)
Hackett- Liara, how are you?
Liara- Don’t worry about me, how is he doing?
Hackett- He is stable, but he is still unresponsive.
(Liara moves to the side of Shepard’s bed)
Hackett- We’ll give you some time to be alone. If you need anything we’ll be right outside.
Liara- Thank you.
(Hackett and the medical team leave the room. Just as the doors close the rest of the Normandy crew arrive and watch through the window.)
Liara- Shepard… how are yo… I’m sorry I just don’t know what to say. (Tears start streaming down her face) I don’t know if you can hear me or if you even still in there… But I have to believe you are. The crew is here. We all are, we all made it back thanks to you. I wish you would have let me come with you at least then we might be lying here together. I don’t know what I’ll do if… if you don’t come back. (Liara sets Shepard’s hand on her stomach) Please come back to me and your… your child I can’t do this by myself… Shepard I love you!
(Liara looks outside of the window and sees the crew standing there some crying)
(As Liara lets go of Shepard’s hand from her stomach, she suddenly feels it come back. Her eyes widen and takes a deep breath. Still looking outside the window she sees the crew reacting to what she is feeling some are jumping up and down all chearing.)
(Liara looks down to see Shepard’s eyes open and him smile)
Shepard- I love you too.
(Liara still crying leans down and kisses Shepard)
END OF SCENE
Begining of Epilogue
Notes- Again this is just how I see things
Grunt
After the battle for Earth Grunt returned to Tuchanka to help with the rebuilding and repopulating process. He took up second in command in Clan Urdnot, becoming Wrex’s enforcer he helped make Urdnot the dominant clan for centuries. However he was killed in 2576 protecting Wrex from a would be assassin. Though before he died from many up-close shot gun wounds he managed to rip the arms off of the assassin and beat him to death with his own arms.
James
James Vega joined the N7 program officially in the days after the battle for Earth. He would become the top N7 operative the Alliance had to offer. He even managed to outscore a couple of Commander Shepard’s old scores, although never over taking his shadow. James stayed in the Alliance until 2236 when he retired and lived out his days on Earth.
Ashley
Ashley Williams also was accepted into the N7 program being the only other Specter/N7 operative besides Shepard. She would stay with the Alliance after the days of the battle she took command of the Normandy after Shepard retired from the Alliance. In 2218 she was promoted to Admiral and took a position commanding the 4th fleet. In 2238 she retired from the Alliance then she returned to Earth to live out her days.
Jacob

Javik
True to his word Javik found the resting place of his old squad and joined them, ending the Protheans forever.
Miranda
Miranda after the war found her sister and became the sister she was never able to be before. Miranda eventually did marry however unable to have children she adopted kids that were orphaned after the war. Miranda lived to be 174.
Zaeed
After the war once again began the search for his old partner. After finding him, Zaeed killed him finally fulfilling his last mission Zaeed shot himself in his home on Omega.

Samara
Samara returned to her daughter to help rebuild the sanctuary where she spent the rest of her days.
Urdnot Wrex
Wrex returned to Tuchanka to rule the Krogan with Bikara and begin rebuilding of their civilization. True to his word Wrex did away with the over aggressive ways of their ancestors. Also they had become welcomed again in the Citadel and where given worlds to expand. Wrex lived out his days as leader of the Krogen.
Kasumi
Kasumi after the war had disappeared no one could find her, but a mysterious string of huge heists in the Terminus point to her but she was never truly found again.
Jeff “Joker” Moreau
Joker tried to get Edi running again after the war hoping that she still might be there somewhere. He had finally made progress and realized her memories had been deleted. Before the battle for Earth she had given Joker a token of her affection it was a solid blue box that said “just in case”. Joker stared at it for hours with tears in her eyes noticing a crease when he opened it he realized it was a drive. He quickly plugged it in her drive port and he heard “hello Jeff I missed you”. Jeff would stay with the Alliance until his disease made it impossible for him to get out of a chair with Edi by his side the entire time. When he retired Edi went with him to live out his days on Earth. When Joker died Edi “self-terminated” because she didn’t want to go on without him.
Garrus
After learning of Primarch Victus’ death Garrus returned to Palaven to assist in the rebuilding effort. However, when he returned home he was greeted as a hero. He had also discovered that his sister had survived the war she had been a major part of the Turian resistance. Soon after returning to Palaven Garrus was summoned to the remnants of the Turian government’s headquarters. Garrus was named Primarch, which was the first time ever the Primarch was determined not using the “chain”. Garrus accepted the offer; he made the Turian military the strongest it had ever been. Though whenever Shepard needed help keeping the peace Garrus was right there and no one was going to dare to challenge the might of the Turian military and the man who stopped the Reapers. Yes, Garrus and Tali had kept up their relationship, but eventually faded. Garrus did eventually marry another Turian and when he died his son had become Primarch and so on.
Tali
After the war Tali returned to Rannoch to help begin colonization. She had built a house where Shepard had given her the rock and where they had defeated the reaper. In total she had seven houses she didn’t know why she just wanted them. There was almost a Quarian civil war because some wanted to rebuild the geth and some didn’t want to repeat history. They all looked to Tali, she refused she did not want to repeat the mistakes of those before them. Just before Tali died she was finally able to breath in the air of Rannoch.
Shepard and Liara
True to his word Commander Shepard’s days of saving the galaxy were over he officially retired from the Alliance in the days after what would be his final battle. He would marry Liara no more than a month later. He would also be nominated to take humanities spot on the Council in 2195 he would accept the position in order to preserve the peace so many had died to secure. Liara eventually gave birth to twins a welcomed surprise to the couple. Shepard would remain on the Council until 2250. He would then move to Thessia with Liara and their children Anova and Zelana. Shepard died on October 28th, 2280 with Liara and their daughters at his bedside, he was 126. Shepard’s body through advanced cryogenics was preserved until the time when he and Liara would take their final journey together. Liara would also take a spot on the Council in 2315 to carry on Shepard’s legacy. Liara would never take on another bond mate despite many interested parties. In 3045, Liara moved back to Thessia shortly before passing away in that same year, she was 968. In accordance with their mother’s wishes Anova and Zelana had taken their father’s body out of cryo and laid him next to their mother’s in a casket built for two, it was meant to be shot out into space, and it had windows so the couple could explore the galaxy for eternity.
So they “could just get lost up there, to find some very far away place where you could spend the rest of eternity… in peace and happiness” on Shepard’s side of the casket it read “There’s no place I would rather be” and on Liara’s it said “Neither would I”.
