on contemplating the imponderable...

[oldsoldiers]

With all due respect ma'am, it's not something I tend to think about.

The Commander's biotics spike higher than mine, sure, but defensively? I'd say I have the advantage. It wouldn't be an easy fight for either of us, and what it'd really come down to is timing.

[ because as canon proves, he'd go down with one shot. ]

Thinking up all these scenarios and outcomes is easy enough, but to actually point your gun at someone you care about? It's rough, and it's not something I'm willing to do again.

Finally, a gamer poop quoted keyword that fits.

Our Citadel "showdown" seems to be a popular topic. I'm just glad it didn't turn out for the worst.

[And he wouldn't want to relieve that experience again...unless it's a biotic snowball fight.]

they always fit.

It was a tense moment— emotions were running high for everyone. I'm just happy we came to reason, even with one of us being infamous for being incredibly stubborn.

[ ho yay! but in all seriousness, it was pretty harrowing, but not harrowing enough to keep him from making the smallest crack ]

But it's a little haunting, you know? One wrong move by either of us, and that platform could have become a slaughterhouse.

............I already made a "tight fit" joke the first time we threaded so NEVERMIND |D

[wellbangokay]

Right. Just one of us. [It comes with being a soldier, but it'll really show when the Spectre status really seeps in.]

I try not to think about it. [No point in worrying with what they already have to worry about.] ...I'd rather not.

If you stop and really think about it, it'd probably end like one of Zaeed's stories. Only someone else would be telling it, because no way either one of us is making it out alive.

[oldsoldiers]

Gritty, bleak, and borderline inappropriate?

[ all they need now is to name Shepard's gun. Maybe Franco. ]

But if things really did go south on that platform, I doubt there'd be anyone left to tell the story. The Illusive Man certainly couldn't have done what you did.

[galacticheroine]

Better not to dwell on the 'what ifs' then, huh? [That being pretty much the only way Shepard gets through her days without having a total mental break.]
