decimate my security just to find the person who's here to kill me what are you playing at shepherd what i heard something damn it check the other entrances you stay put when i'm finished dealing with this nuisance you and i am going to ugh impressive you certainly know how to make an entrance i was hoping to talk to you i apologize but prayers for the wicked must not be forsaken she certainly was wicked not for her for me the measure of an individual can be difficult to discern by actions alone take you for instance all this destruction chaos i was curious to see how far you'd go to find me well here i am how'd you know i was coming at all i didn't not until you marched in the front door and started shooting in the sun i had become paranoid you saw the strength of her guard force she believed one of her sisters would kill her you were a valuable distraction let's cut to the chase i need you for a mission indeed you're familiar with the collectors by reputation they're abducting entire human colonies freedom's progress was their handiwork i see we're going after them attacking the collectors would require passing through the omega-4 relay no ship has ever returned from doing so they told me it was impossible to get to ilo's too a fair point you built a career on performing the impossible this was to be my last job i'm dying low survival odds don't concern me the abduction of your colonists does you're dying are you contagious how long do you have if you're interested we can discuss it on your ship the problem isn't contagious and it won't affect my work i hadn't heard that is there anything i can do giving me this opportunity is enough the universe is a dark place i'm trying to make it brighter before i die many innocents died today i wasn't fast enough and they suffered i must atone for that i will work for you shepard no charge i've heard impressive stories krios sounds like you'll be an asset to the team that is if you're comfortable having an assassin watch your back i've accepted a contract my arm is shepard's uh huh don't know about you but i'm loyal to more than my next paycheck keep it civil people we've all got the same goal maintain the objective aye aye ma'am where shall i put my things i'd prefer someplace dry if anything is available the area near the life support plant on the crew deck tends to be slightly more error than the rest of the ship ah my thanks he seems quite civil we need all the help we can get he's not what i expected in an assassin he may surprise you yeah and he may not [Music] do you need something you mind if i ask you a few questions not at all the drill live on the hana homeworld don't they yes i know many think the hen are difficult to understand it's just that they're very formal with those they don't know we know them quite well if you ever get close enough to a hannah that they tell you their soul name you would find them warm i thought that hannah only let very close friends know their soul name most of my commissions were for hannah i grew close to my regular contacts soul names tend to be poetic a henna known for its cynicism might take a name that means illuminates the folly of the dancers and are talk using bioluminescence that's more of an obstacle than their politeness true many drell have had their eyes genetically modified to perceive their higher frequency flashes i had the treatment i can't tell the difference between a dark red and black but i can see ultraviolet light as a silver color when you pray for the wicked who exactly are you praying to that depends on the circumstance to find my target i speak with them on kira lord of hunters when i act to defend another arashu goddess of motherhood and protection and when i have taken my target i speak with kalahira goddess of oceans in the afterlife i didn't know that drell had many gods it's one of our older beliefs many embrace the hanaren kindlers now or the asari philosophies the old ways are dying there are so many ways to interpret one's place in the universe who needs the wisdom of our ancestors the younger generations don't believe they can help us fathom genetic engineering orbital strikes or alien races oceans and afterlife don't seem to have much in common consider the ocean is full of life yet it is not life as you and i know it to survive there we must release our hold on land accept a new way to live so it is with the death the soul must accept its departure from the body if it can't it will be lost there's something else i'd like to talk about ask have a few minutes to talk certainly we haven't had a chance since i joined when we met you you said you were dying yes i thought you'd want to know more you don't have to worry about the rest of the crew my illness is not communicable even to other drought it's called capril syndrome are you gonna be all right till the end of the mission i should be fine for another eight to twelve months the more time i spend in human environments the faster it progresses i think it's safe to say that by the time my body is incapacitated will be victorious or dead either way i won't be a burden to you what exactly is the problem my people are native to an arid world most of us now live on kaje the hen our home world it's very humid and rains every day our lungs can't deal with the moisture over time the tissue loses its ability to absorb oxygen it becomes harder to breathe eventually we suffocate can't they do something about that the hammer have fun at a genetic engineering program they should be able to adapt us the project has only been running for a few years i don't believe my body will still drop breath by the time it bears fruit then don't live on kaje or use breathers drill have a close relationship with the henna we rely on each other the best we can do is keep our homes very dry inside is there anything we can do here normandy has a state-of-the-art medical bay no thank you it's being attended to if the finest medical minds in the hammer illuminated primacy can't solve the problem i doubt your ship's medic could thank you for your concern trust me this won't affect my performance do you need something have a few minutes to talk certainly if you don't mind my saying you don't really seem like an assassin you've spent too much time fighting thugs who think custom painted armor makes the professionals the henry trained my body for this role since i was six years old you've been killing since you were six of course not i didn't make my first kill until i was 12. they were training me i was not to be used and thrown away i was an investment you were a child not an investment i've given you the wrong idea they valued me yes as a resource but also as a person they regretted their need for me the hannah excessively polite worshiped protheans they don't seem the type who train assassins every species trains assassins the hannah are only unusual in that they need other species to do the killing for them they have a strong grip and natural toxins but have you ever seen one move quickly outside of water or fire a gun why did your parents agree to this the agreement was made under the compact it was an honor for our family the compact we live on the hand our home world because they rescued us some of us from extinction we owe them our lives that is the compact what exactly are the terms of the compact there are many things the hanark can't do even with mechanical aid they ask drell to assist them this can't be legal they made your whole race into slaves don't insult me shepard anyone can refuse to serve few do we owe our existence to the hammer we are proud to repay the debt the way you describe it the han are sound like weaklings out here they are but if you could see them in the encompassing the oceans of carjay you would see them differently a stream of silver in the dark looping diving so fast the eye can't follow after like the squeals of a child fighting into the water they fly over the back of the seabed like birds plumed with the light of heaven why was your race going extinct overpopulation that must send right to you humans developed mass effect drive before the problem became acute our homeworld where khanna had few resources we hadn't even developed fusion power when the soil began to fail from overuse and pollution the hannah found us a century ago they sent hundreds of ships evacuated thousands of us billions more had to be left behind what's the state of rakana now do you read your philosophers a man named thomas hogs when all the world is overcharged with inhabitants and the last remedy of all is war which provideth for every man by victory or death as rakona died around them my people slaughtered each other for mouthfuls of water crumbs of food but you don't kill for the henna anymore your freelance what changed i was asleep for a long time yes i paid no attention to what my body was asked to do but then a laser dot trembles on the skull one finger twitch he dies slip into memory so easily was that one of your assassinations uh yes perhaps we can discuss it later i've wasted too much of your time shepard is there something wrong yes now that you are here though it seems more difficult to talk about i've got time take it at your own pace thank you i fear i've already done that for too long i had a family once i still have a son his name is colgate i haven't seen him for a very long time how long has it been since you talked 10 years he showed me some of his schoolwork and asked if we could dance crazy we did that when he was younger what sort of dance is that it's i check my extranet contacts i expect an update on my next target the console plays music unfashionable call yet jumps into the room my father runs around in circles i scoop him up toss him into the air he shrieks laughs spin me the console beeps i put him down click the message father he please touch my sleeve i need to read this i say i don't look at him did something happen to them i abandoned them no not all at once nothing dramatic no sneaking out in the middle of the night no final argument or slammed door i just did my job i hunted and killed across the galaxy away on business my wife would tell people i was always away on business you never mentioned this before why now when my wife departed from her body i attended to that issue i left colgate in the care of his aunts and uncles i have not seen him or talked to him since if we're talking about this he must have contacted you no he didn't but my condition i've been judging my life measuring what i've added and what i've taken away i used my contacts to trace kolyat he has become disconnected he does what his body wills you'll have to explain that one to me disconnected the body is not our true self the soul is body and soul work as one in a whole person when the soul is weakened by despair or fear when the body is ill or injured the individual is disconnected no longer whole what's wrong with him is he hurt something happened that should not have he knows where i've been what i've done i don't know his reasons but he has gone to the citadel he's taken a job as a hitman i would like your help to stop him he is this is not a path he should walk you don't hire a raw rookie for a contract killing i'm afraid someone may have seen me share a name and assume we share skills i don't know why he would accept the task to be closer to you maybe that thought haunts me more than any other maybe he name-dropped you to get hired it's possible but i don't think so it doesn't seem right my name he should not respect it then i don't have your contacts and i don't have your tracking skills why do you need my help for this i don't need your help i want it the last time i saw my son they wrapped her body in seavines waited with stones he tries to pull from me for her lift her off the platform they saved like belt the fire has gone to be kindled in you he begged them not to take her away they let her body slide into the water he hits me don't let them stop them why weren't you it always rains on kaje warm water pours down his face i didn't mean to make you relive that perfect memory it is sometimes a burden what made him go to the citadel years ago i prepared a package for him a relic of my ill-spent life i had fullness bankers store it and arranged for delivery when i died he acquired it early i don't really know how i did wet work on the citadel around the time his mother died that may be why he went there i'll get us to the citadel as soon as possible thank you shepard i'll be meditating until you need me my associate's trying to find a son we think a local criminal may have hired him it should be easy we don't see many drill here there we go one of my men reported to drill recently and he was talking to mouse interesting mouse ah petty criminal probably not the guy who hired your boy but a messenger he's a former duct rat runs errands for anyone who'll pay what sort of trouble has mouse been getting himself into odd jobs for shifty people duct rats take whatever is available to get by data running fencing stolen goods selling illegal vi personalities actually he was selling one of you me yeah when you erase the file it would say i delete data like you on the way to real errors that's pretty extreme commander laugh it up garros buggy though it crashed every half hour and the error message was about how the galaxy was at stake and you should fix the problem yourself what was it you called mouse duct rat it's a local slang for the poor kids who grow up in the station when they're small they tend to play in the ventilation ducts where adults can't get to them aren't the ducks dangerous every couple of months we pull a little body out of them lacerated by fan blades broken by a deadfall suffocated by vacuum exposure those are just the ones we know about more just disappear maybe they get sucked into space maybe they fall into the protein vats the keepers run the mouse survived long enough that he can't fit in the docks anymore he was one of the smarter ones or the luckier ones i've heard enough mouse is usually upstairs outside the dark star he works out of a public calm terminal you should pick up a copy of the shepherd vi when you talk to him it sounds like your boy is running with the wrong crowd yes i agree if mouse can't get you in touch with your son directly he'll know who can i'll help you if you need it well yeah sure i can get you two cases by the end of the day you mouse what are you oh [ __ ] krios i thought you were tired commander shepard i thought you died what do you want with me be still mouse you can change your pants in a moment how do you know thane krios he didn't if he didn't say nothing i ain't either when we heard the name i didn't think it could be the same mouse he was a contact on the citadel when i was active he and some other children would gather information on my targets you put children in danger to spy for you children to poor my people's word for their kind is drama for the ignored they're everywhere see everything yet they are never seen you gave another drill instructions for an assassination who's the target i don't know i didn't ask because the people i work for i can make me disappear i'd like to help you creos you always done right by us but i ain't gonna die for you look you know thane he wouldn't ask if it wasn't important do it for him i want to he was always nice to us but these people ain't nice krios nobody's gonna know you talk to us mouse i swear that you won't be named all right all right he came with that hollow you took of me he said he wanted a job i read through your old contacts to see who might give him a shot the guy who offered was elias keller one other thing that shepard vi you're selling oh [ __ ] you heard look you were dead it was totally legal to make a vi of you give me a copy and we'll call it even what i mean sure yeah absolutely sorry about the whole just so you know there's three bullets who are patching it all the time tell me about kellum human moved to the citadel about 10 years ago he was little people when you were here krios he got big after the death attack lots of the big guys from before got cacked all in the big fancy apartments up in the presidium now he runs the rackets on the lower end of the ward shin akiba he's seriously bad news you just saved yourself a world of pain kid yeah right when kellen finds out what i've done i won't live long and i can't do anything about it but hide krios you got any kindness for me put a bullet in kellem before you go that couldn't have been easy mouse knew more about my life than colgate ever did he smiles up at me broken teeth and scabby knees bare feet black a dead future looking up at me worshiping the petty gifts i offer i was the only good thing he had back then but i left him as i left colgate mouse said you had a hollow of him yes a foolish bit of sentimentality i can perfectly recall every moment i spent with mouse he pulls at my arm smiles he wants to know that i remember him that anyone will remember him i take the holo he smiles at himself in miniature on my palm then a frown crinkles his brow he pats my pockets checking for other hollows where's her son krios he asks don't blame yourself if i don't who will we must carry the weight of our decisions shepard yes can we talk about my associate's son you talk to mouse did you get the name of the guy he's working with elias kellum callum [ __ ] ah look this is awkward calum and i have a an agreement he doesn't cause too much trouble and buys tickets to the c-sec charity ball from me in return i ignore him he pays you off you were eager to help us before what about now is it too inconvenient i said i'd help it's just there'll be repercussions if i don't handle it right he and i give each other space it keeps the peace i'll get some of my people to bring him in and set him up in a private room you can interrogate him yourself i'll stay out of sight and if i'm lucky calum will believe that i had nothing to do with it bring him in we might not have much time i'll make it happen wait here we've got kelum tell bailey we're ready he'll expect me to get him out of this not today i think captain is lawyers here elias has his vi set to page him if c-sec gets within 10 meters i'll stall him get in there and work fast we should question them together keep the pressure on thoughts on how we approach it convince him that we'll put a bullet in his head if he doesn't talk once he's scared he'll cooperate very well i'll pretend we're ready to kill him we can't push too hard though we need the information more than we need a corpse get me out of these restraints bailey pretty funny bringing me down here like this the hell are you two [Music] bailey has nothing to do with this we just want a few answers off the record off the record in a c-sec interrogation room sure you hired an assassin who do you want dead i want to see my advocate you apparently haven't noticed we're not c-sec no deals no due process no advocate and that's supposed to scare me you two are in way over your heads bailey won't let you touch me billy doesn't know you're here but he will after we're done you're not the only one who can buy off c-sec calum what are you frog boy her little apologist what kid you gonna bore me into confessing you ain't [ __ ] come on hit me i dare you no huh didn't think you had the balls think carefully elias i want to catch the assassin not you why stick your neck out for him you want me to confess to putting a contract on someone you think i'm stupid i get the name i walk out you never see me again i got no reason to believe you elias if we were after you we'd have already put a bullet in your head we're running out of time bailey can't stall his advocate for long are we done here because i got people to see goddamn waste of my time how about this you tell us the target and i said get out of my way bailey you have no right to what the hell is going on in here step away from my client is that do you have him tied to the chair glad you could make it freddy traffic was bad you'll need a shovel the size of the citadel to dig yourself out of this this is all above board i'm a council specter [ __ ] what what's that mean freddy specters can do whatever they want elias i can't help you [ __ ] if it was you i wanted i could kill you and go i want the assassin tell me who the target is and i'll leave damn it joram to lead he's a turian running for intended zakir award where can we find him his apartment's in the 800 blocks let's go what's the story why'd calum hired the boy assassination a turian named joram taleed you know him joram yeah you might have seen his posters around he's promising to end organized crime on the ward thing is his message is all mixed up in race politics he's anti-human are things so bad that people can openly campaign as anti-human before the battle of the citadel the alien population thought we were violent upstarts look what's happened since then a human fleet guarding the station for months sea sec filled with humans anderson does what he can but some people have lived on the station since before humans had starships they see it as a coup if a majority votes for him like it or not that's how the system works that's a nice ideal shepard sergeant get a patrol car these two need to get to the 800 blocks yes sir there he is how do you want to play this follow the lead on the maintenance catwalks tell me what he's doing the grogan bodyguard will make him easy to follow [Music] where will you be the darkest corner with the best view i'm on kira lord of hunters grant that my hands be steady my aim be true and my feet swift and should the worst come to pass [Music] [Music] he's heading to talid's apartment call yet this this is a joke now now you show up help me drill i'll do whatever you want c-sec put the gun down son get out of my way i'm walking out he's coming with me they'll have snipers outside i don't need your what the hell talid get the hell out of here yeah yeah i will take the boy into custody you son of a [ __ ] your father doesn't have much time left cole yet he's trying to make up for his mistakes what so you came to get my forgiveness so you can die in peace or something i came to grant you peace you're angry because i wasn't there when your mother died you weren't there when she was alive why should you be there when she died your mother they killed her to get to me it was my fault but after her body was given to the deep i went to find them the trigger men the ringleaders i hurt them eventually killed them when i went back to see you you were older i should have stayed with you i guess it's too bad for me you waited so long huh yet i've taken many bad things out of the world you're the only good thing i ever added to it this isn't a conversation you should have in front of strangers boys take coleyat and his father back to the precinct give them a room and as much time as they need i'm surprised you're letting him do that you think he's the only man who ever screwed up raising a son i have to get back to the precinct come on i'll give you i've been in there a while and the kid's been through a lot i ran some searches in the csac archive about 10 years back a bunch of real bad people were killed like someone was cleaning house the prime suspect was a drill we never caught him 10 years is a long time whoever was responsible for that probably doesn't exist anymore yeah i guess you're right about that how'd it go our problems are they aren't something i can fix with a few words we'll keep talking see what happens your boy shot some people no one i feel sympathy for but there it is i watch those guys shaking down businesses and threatening humans but he can't just get away with it kid wants to make a difference give him community service community service for attempted murder what jury would agree to that none that i've seen this would need to stay out of the judiciary strictly within c-sec interesting i'll think about it thank you captain [Music] do you need something have a few minutes to talk if you wish the last time we talked you started speaking about a past event as if you were watching it drill have perfect memories we can relive any moment in our lives with perfect clarity it's difficult to control at times some of us disappear into you know let's call it solipsism what do you mean a memory feels as real as life it's as valid as life thinking about a moment brings back the smell of cut grass the warmth of another's hand on yours the taste of another's tongue in your mouth wouldn't you rather lose yourself in such a memory than spend the night alone staring at walls of metal and plastic isn't there a risk that you could lose yourself in bad memories as well of course remembering the times i've taken bullets is unpleasant but i can look at my knee and see it's not shattered the memories that are hard to escape are those of despair isn't that a rather personal memory to talk about forgive me lately i've spent a great deal of time reviewing my life i didn't mean to make you uncomfortable you can remember everything that happened in your life nearly i expect if we remember the birth trauma we'd never recover from it you can relive every assassination you've ever made in perfect detail every mistake i made every target's last breath you don't seem to feel guilty why should i my employers killed them my body was only the tool they used if you kill a man with your gun do you hold the gun responsible my gun can't decide right from wrong you clearly do my soul does but my body is merely flesh flesh whose reflexes were honed to kill drill mines are different from humans we see our body as a vessel and accept that it is not always under our control that's a strange way of looking at yourself humans often believe in a soul distinct from the body a spirit responsible for moral reasoning that lives on after the body's death our belief is just a bit more literal last time we talked you remembered one of your assassinations something about sunset colored eyes ah that time laser got trembles on the skull spice on the spring wind sunset eyes in the scope a bystander noticed my spotty laser and threw herself between me and the target she couldn't see me but she stared me down it was odd that you just blurted that out just another vivid drill memory not no she was a vivid person did you take the shot not that day i should get back to my duties shepard i appreciate these chats we have you've spent a lot of your life alone pain work fulfilled me reading i barely spoke to anyone outside my family it seems there will be no one to mourn me when i die you're the only friend i've made in 10 years friend huh that's a start a start that's intriguing i will always be here to talk do you need something have a few minutes to talk very well i am i had been recording a message for colgate how are things going with him it is difficult all things worth keeping are i never explained i suppose the story of my wife's death took you by surprise i figured you'd explain to me when you were ready i appreciate your patience i kept my work clear of our home life i assumed that would be enough to protect erica that memory i'd mentioned before lazy god trembles on the target's skull the smell of spice on a spring wind sunset that was erica that was how i met her she saw my targeting laser as she walked by and threw herself in the way so how'd she go from blocking your shot to having your children i had to meet her the memory possessed and endowed me i fell on my knees before her begged her pardon she introduced me to the world beyond my work eventually she forgave me later she loved me i guess she impressed you she woke me up her body trembles not fear indignation her mouth moves how dare you you and i trained to sacrifice ourselves to save others how often does a civilian step in the way of a bullet to protect someone they've never met i thought she was the goddess herasho she met my eyes through the scope and my purpose faltered when you talked to coleat you said she died i let myself become complacent i thought erica and colyar were safe i stayed away too long and my enemies came for her who came for her literians a slavery that was preying on hannah out her colonies i'd killed their leaders they paid the shadow broker to find out who i was but they were afraid of me so they went after her you told collier that you hunted her killers down erica woke me up when she passed i returned to my battle sleep my body hunted her killers murdered them i was taught to grant death quickly cleanly to minimize suffering then i let them linger you are operating on instinct by your own rules you can't blame yourself but i made the choice to hunt them they're the only lives i've ever taken of my own choice the only deaths on my own conscience i haven't spoken about my wife i don't think i ever have i didn't have anyone left to tell it to maybe i haven't been as upfront as i should be i'm here for you thane whatever you need you you are very kind thank you for listening seahawk i think my translator just glitched what did you call me see her someday i'll tell you what it means have a few minutes to talk of course shepard join me i've been thinking about you and i you will you hear my confession see her last time we talked like this you said you'd explain what siha means i need to explain myself to you first when i married erica the hannah let me leave their servants to raise a family but i had no other skills so i freelanced when erica was killed i pursued those responsible once i'd eliminated them i had no goal i accepted the dante's commission because i didn't know what else to do i guess you're lucky we came along when we did it was an intervention by the gods i would have died in that penthouse i would have fulfilled my contract if nisana's guards caught me afterwards it would have been a good death but someone else was pushing to reach the target forcing me to move faster challenging me i had to reach her first i had no idea you planned to die in there it wasn't a plan my body had accepted its death my mind had been dead a long time but i met another sia few are privileged to meet even one you still haven't told me what a siha is one of the warrior angels of the goddess arashu fearsome wrath a tenacious protector i confess i've come to care for you perhaps i'm being foolish we are very different i'm not sure we know each other well enough to call it love but i feel something for you too something more than friendship i've never felt affection for another species i'm not sure what to do now we'll just have to figure it out i look forward to the memories i have known i will die for many years i've tried to leave the galaxy better than i found it you helped me achieve more than i thought possible we've righted many wrongs i've spoken to my son i should be at peace on the eve of battle stop don't give me a speech i'm ashamed i've worked so hard meditated and prayed and done good deeds atoned for the evils i've done prepared i consider my body's death in a chill settles in my gut i'm afraid and to change be alive with me tonight [Music] so [Music] understand this is enforced see her i heard earth was under attack i didn't know you'd made it out dane it's been too long i was beginning to think i'd never see you again i sent a few messages while you were incarcerated but i suspect they never got past the guards what are you doing here visiting a friend caden he got hurt protecting me the human biotic and intensive care i saw the marks of an implant yeah we have spoken he was holding out hope that a woman would visit him is there something i should know about you too we were together for a while before the first normandy was destroyed and grew apart i gather your enemies may try to finish him off here i will look out for him i appreciate it vayne i am near the end of my life it is a good time to be generous i have only a few loves left well i see you want to make up for lost time i should warn you that you may not want your final memories of me to be in this hospital capril's syndrome is not kind i'm back on the normandy on an important mission i sure could use you i would not be as i was before i need daily medical attention and if i know you you will want to fight the reapers somehow you need the best at your side and i am not at mine you don't have to wrestle down krogen and break their necks i'm sure we could find you lighter work i am at peace with what i've done in my life shepard there comes a time when one must rest from war and conflict it is not your time but it is mine do you know how much time you have left i've been to several doctors my favorite gave me three months to live nine months ago it's freeing to find no requirements placed on me no responsibilities no fears it is a good end to a life are you in a lot of pain at times the oxygen transfer proteins don't form correctly your human equivalent would be hemoglobin as a result my blood is low in oxygen no matter how much i breathe in i get tingling numbness and that is the best of it as for my brain i cannot track the damage i just experienced dizziness from time to time i've got a few free moments do you want to spend a little time together i'd like that you should understand that my cardiovascular system is not what it what you were saying something i've missed you shepard i'll get a few free moments do you want to spend a little time together i warned you there were limits to what i can do perhaps if we just talked a little more that would be less strenuous i wish the best for you thane i think of us often see her but we always knew it would come to an end live well in the time you have perhaps we will see each other again alliance control this is normandy we're headed to bay one four's a care award are we clear to descend what the hell is going on down there even if there were a station malfunction they'd have backups online i got a bad feeling here checking emergency channels hey yeah this is joker yeah no kidding commander there's a communication from thane he says it's important i think you'll want to hear this put him through see her the citadel is under attack cerberus troops are everywhere and they're in control of the docks are you safe no i had to evade their commandos at the hospital i'm in a presidium storefront did caden make it out we got separated he said he had to protect the council i'm going to c-sec headquarters why c-sec headquarters it's been compromised and c-sec's response depends on it as long as cerberus is holding the headquarters they have the station all right joker get us away from the docks and close to c-sec hq we'll deploy in the shuttle bailey looks like they got the executor and two solarian bodyguards all right keep searching if you don't see the counselor's body don't count them out yet found him it looks unharmed [Music] [Applause] don't even think about it shepard he's going to kill us all that remains to be seen to hand over to cerberus three on one pal it's over no no it's fun [Applause] [Music] hey [Music] so how bad is it i have time catch him shepard what's going on up there thane needs medical help fast and i need to take care of an assassin he must be going after the rest of the council get the word out udina's trying to seize power i've got to get to the counselors can i help you i'm looking for a drill named fame creos well we have a drow but not under that name he was injured stab wound he's a regular patient here it's all right it's all right i see the doctors were able to repair a lot of the trauma however mr krios is in the final stages of kepperel's syndrome at its worst kepper's syndrome interferes with his blood's ability to carry oxygen and he lost a lot now they've given him transfusions but frankly there was a very limited supply of drill blood on the citadel i'll get more give me his blood type that's not going to work only one other drill on the station is a match and that drill is in with him now we did all we could to help him through surgery but his body can't replace lost blood with new cells too much shock his son coleat he's in there saying his goodbyes you might want to say yours [Music] commander shepard my father mentioned you were no longer incarcerated i don't know if you remember me i'm coliat creos i came to donate blood and well he asked me to take off his oxygen mask so he could be comfortable i don't think it will be very long your father helped me save a lot of lives i'd like to be here of course see her i'm afraid i've picked a bad time to leave you couldn't disappoint me thane not even now such pleasant things from your lips excuse me breathing is difficult asia it will be soon i need to know if the counselor survived yes father three are alive thanks to you and shepard udina he instigated it he is dead there is something i must do before it gets worse i must kalahira mistress of inscrutable depths i ask forgiveness kalihiro whose waves wear down stone and sand [Music] wash the sins from this one and set him on the distant shore of the infinite spirit [Music] you speak as the priests do you have been spending time with them i brought a prayer book commander would you care to join me kalihira this one's heart is pure but beset by wickedness and contention guide this one to where the traveler never tires the lover never leaves the hungry never starve guide this one kalahira and she will be a companion to you as she was to me [Music] why did the last verse say she [Music] the prayer was not for him he has already asked forgiveness for the lives he has taken his wish was for you goodbye thane you won't be alone we are gathered here to honor the life of thane creos thane touched each of our lives in different ways the counselor knew him as a hero the normandy's crew knew him as a brother in arms and others as a father devoted to his son though his life took him to very dark places thane cared for the better angels of our nature he once said that he first felt love for his wife when she stepped in front of an assassin to save someone she didn't even know and when he knew his death was close he chose to die doing nearly the same thing also for someone he didn't even know [Music] just as he loved his wife for it i still love him for it and i don't think that will ever change would anyone else like to speak it's strange but the last word i'd label thane with is assassin we covered each other in fire fights that makes him a partner dane took himself seriously a trait with which i did not always agree i tried to make him laugh on several occasions but what i interpreted as a lack of humor was masking a great effort zane was turning his life around in a way few organics do the day thane came on to the normandy all kelly and i knew about him was that he could probably kill us all with a ballpoint pen but after you got to know him there wasn't any reason to be afraid he let you know where you stood coleat do you [Music] when i was little i thought my father had it all figured out he said men must be loyal to their friends and dangerous to their enemies but when he prevented me from from hurting someone he had changed he said enemies and ego are not as important as loved ones i didn't want to hear it i was lost i called him a hypocrite in a thousand different ways said that he was going soft now i think maybe he did have it all figured out that's all i can say if anyone would like to continue we'll be here looks like people are starting to clear out commander thank you for holding this event in time it will be a good memory he was one of us yes he did not have many friends the normandy was good for him if you will excuse me i should take this opportunity to speak with the counselor about what he is feeling grateful and i want to point out there are some salarian biologists who need funding if anyone would be able to create a breakthrough in the treatment of keplerel syndrome it would be them if you need someone to hold the counselor's feet to a fire i'm there i appreciate the offer but counselor valerian has recently orated about funding science during wartime my odds are good oh before i go i was organizing my father's possessions and i came upon copies of video messages he tried to send you i sent them to your extranet address i hope they help more than they hurt until we meet again commander sia i fought over what you said and in retrospect i think leaving the normandy was for the best it was saddening to see our crew go their separate ways but it is better than answering questions in an alliance interrogation room i hope this message finds you well as for me i have moved into an apartment on the citadel not far from kolyat i think the first attack i had frightened him perhaps i shouldn't have said that i don't want you to worry or feel guilty that you are not with me just face it bravely i know you are good at that i love you i hope the alliance listens keep in touch shepard if you sent a message back i didn't get it i suppose communications from someone of my reputation would be restricted the irony is i'm a danger to no one these days i am even paying taxes on my investments i can't expect call yet to do so if i don't he's doing better he has no significant other and he is temperamental but he is employed and staying out of crime i can tell he is serious about changing it has cost him more than a few friends send something back if you can shepard i can only learn so much from news reports about you i have tried a false identity to try to get this message through to you we'll see if it works i have good news and bad the good news is that kolyat and i took a few days to visit earth light the shade of her eyes trill sounded chirping excuse me as i was saying we saw a beautiful sunset in new mexico and a scorpion eating a cricket i wish you could have joined us the bad news is i had i fainted and struck my head goliath has convinced me to stay at huerta memorial on the citadel i will be there from now on i still don't want to die in a hospital but it's where the doctors are and kolyat i love him that means i must trust him goodbye shepard let me say that now in case i cannot later see ya i have prepared emails sent videos even composed paper letters i know this will not reach you but it must be said i once had no reason to live then suddenly i had two you and kolyat circumstances keep us apart so colyar takes much of my time but i don't know if it's obvious to humans this slams the table that is what humans say with us it is a state called tufira lost in another it can consume us in case you are in the same pain i want to say you have only made my life better you gave me you collat even the omega 4 relay made me feel purposeful we are alive sia and when we are not i will meet you across the sea [Music] that was for thane you son of a [ __ ] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] you
