LOG ENTRY 17.0.0
As we approached the planet "Alchera" I stood on the bridge, watching the planet spin in the same orbit it did 2 years ago... this was where I died... this was... where..
Tali distracted me from thinking of that and helped me change into my gear. She wanted to come with me; but I told her I wanted to go alone the first time. She was my ship, and the crew died under my command... I died there... I needed to see it first.
Supplemental 17.1.1
Just on the shuttle on my way down; I can see the Normandy now, it .. its laid out like a broken body, torn apart and dead in the snow. We are just about to land... I guess its time to face the ghosts of my past.
Supplemental 17.1.0 (on the ground)
I took a few hours just walking the crash site, every time I found a bit of wreckage a tear caught my eye; I couldn't wipe them away in the helmet which made it even worse.
I stopped out every large piece and memories flushed back; walking the halls... seeing the Normandy being built.. I was there when they launched her and here I am at her grave.
I've found a few dog tags, we had about 20 to 30 people dead on the ship and I found some of their dog tags; Alliance Command will like to have these...
Supplemental 17.1.1
I just stopped myself from breaking down; I just found my helmet... From what Miranda told me, if my head hadn't been protected by this on my landing through atmosphere I would not have been brought back to life. I Picked it up and would keep this myself; Liara has my tags and I will have this.
Supplemental 17.1.2
Alliance Command and Admiral Hackett wanted me to put a memorial stand in front something I thought was special for a Memorial to be built here. So I placed it in front of the Normandy SR1 Sign. This would be the best place for it.. to the memory of all the crew.
Supplemental 17.2.0 (Normandy)
It was a long shuttle ride back, when I got back to the Normandy I went straight to my quarters; Tali came up an hour later to make sure I was okay... I couldn't help but break down in front of her. She had never seen me like this before and I could tell she was crying too; we talked about the mission and how I feel about it. I told her we needed to do it but I wished it wasn't me... I was just a soldier, and I've been pulled into this because I HAVE to do it, no one else would do it... Does that make me a Hero? Probably... but if No one else does it... We would all be dead right now.
Supplemental 17.2.1
After I finally calmed down, Tali left and went back to her quarters; I told Joker to set a course for Pragia, we are going to finish Jack's personal destruction mission then go on to the reaper Remains.
