LOG ENTRY 4.0.0

I managed to draw myself out of my quarters enough to take a tour of the ship; we would be arriving back at the Citadel soon and I had a few things to do there, first I had to recruit Kasumi Goto, a assassin and master thief but I aso had to speak with Anderson; he had heard of rumours of me with Cerberus and somehow had gotten a message to me; probably picked up through Cerberus channels.

I watched from the cockpit as we came in through the purple nebula and approached the Citadel. I bet they must have had the shock of their lives seeing a SR1 Normandy Look a like drift through and land in the public sector.

I suited up and told Miranda and Garrus to join me, Garrus would know the citadel like the back of his hand; its been 2 years and the last time I was here, the entire place was on fire and Keeping Miranda with me meant she didnt have to have her spy's tell her what I was doing.

Supplimental 4.0.1

Straight off the docking port, a Advertiement spoke out to me; these were common on the citadel but this one was different, it spoke a code phrase that I had been told on Kasumi's file was my way to contact her.

Approaching the advert stand, I spoke my code word and she began to talk to me through the advert. She told me I had to help with a Heist; I think the Illusive man doesnt tell these things just to piss me off. I told her okay and told her to get settled in on the Normandy.

Supplimental 4.1.0

It seems security has tighted up alot since the Geth attack, the council not believing me about the conduit or they had just decided not to tell anyone and said that the geth got in the normal way. So now I had to take an hour to get through security; the sensors told me I am KIA, I explained it to the guard there and he told me to go talk to Captain Bailey to sort it out.

After a brief word with the Captain, he changed it for me quickly; he didnt want the paperwork of it all weighing him down for days.

Supplimental 4.1.1

Im on the citadel less then 5 minutes (if you dont count getting through security) and I bump into Kahlisah Al Jilani, the news reporter I almost punched 2 years ago on the citadel; She wanted an Inverview. I said No, she did a smeer job on me, but Garrus told me it might help so I went along.

She talked about the Battle of the Citadel and the attack on the Destiny Ascention, she claimed it was my fault that the Alliance lost so many ships; I told her I NEVER forget the names of the ships and Recieted EVERY ship lost from the 5th fleet saving the Destiny Ascention: Shenyang, Emden Jakarta, Cario, Seoul, Cape Town, Warsaw and Madrid. I told her that those men and women died doing their duty and if I was in the situation again, I would make the choice again.

Deciding she was not worth the time, I walked away; She was trying to Smeer me again, but I got her back this time.

Supplimental 4.1.2

As I walked through the citadel, a news report appeared telling me that my mother turned down an Admiral Star and had stayed in command of her ship; I should talk to her when I am free, I am pretty sure that she got my dying message in my Logs; as I am pretty sure they might have gone public.

It also seemed where ever I go, I have to help people; I bumped into a C-sec officer trying to sort out an argument with a Quarian and Volus. The Quarian was behind harrassed by the Csec officer and he wanted to run me for obstruction of Justice... Ha... Im a spectre. I told him that and he almost pissed his pants. I sorted out the incident and told the Quarian if she had anymore trouble; to contact me.

It made me think of Tali again, the way we met the first time here on the citadel... I miss her.

Supplimental 4.2.0

Finally got into the Human Embassy's and spoke with Ambassador Anderson and the Council. They allowed me to stay a SPECTRE but stay out of their way and in the Terminus systems. Udine was there aswell and he wasnt happy to see me.

Anderson sent him on his way before me and him managed to chat, He asked why I was with cerberus, how i was, where i was. I told him everything; he was like a father to me and I trusted him with my life, he diserved to kow everything.

It turns out after I died, the Council tried to Bury the Reaper threat, I knew this would happen. After a few hours with him, I said my goodbyes and headed back to normandy. I needed to get along and find the rest of my team; every day was needed, just like Eden Prime and the Saren Incident.

I just want to relax in peace, Will I ever get that? A family? a Home on earth or some distant alien world with Liara... or.. someone else? I hope I do...
