LOG ENTRY 18.0.0
The files on Pragia were full of either blank slots or high Security files; but those we were able to show was that there was indeed a Cerberus base for Biotics here. I took Tali with me because I wanted someone close I trusted and other than Garrus and Joker, Tali was my Number 1. Jack couldn't stop talking about blowing this place up and was impatiently clicking the clacker for the nuke in the shuttle storage.
The Jungle is way to thick to land in so we tried to find the Facility itself; they would need a shuttle port or a landing zone for their own shuttles.
Supplemental 18.1.0 (ground)
We landed and found the facility empty; old files just left were easy to open and listen in to the final records of the facility, most of it was just data from Jack's escape or pre-escape footage.
Supplemental 18.1.1
We were attacked by some Varen that seemed to have taken up a nest here; but no other contact... however, someone else is here.. we found several dead Varen that had been shot and piled up into a corner. We are moving on carefully
Supplemental 18.1.2
As we moved into a small section of the Facility, we were attacked by a Blood Pack Squad consisting of a pack of VO
Vorcha and some Krogan Commanders; we had been ambushed but I had seen the signs just a little early and managed to pop a few Vorcha in the head. Tali was caught in the open and I dived her into cover; For a moment we held each other and stared into each others eyes before a crack of a plasma bolt hit nearby and she fired her shotgun into a charging Krogan.
Moving on now, We need to get to Jacks room and plant this bomb; the entire place is hot, raining and humid... Glad I never brought Thane; he would be dead already with his disease if he came here.
Supplemental 18.1.3
We moved through the facility again, Jack telling us of her life here; being tested on, fighting children to prove she was stronger. She even told us of her escape, breaking through and sneaking on board a escaping ship.
I feel a little saddened about all this; if she had a real childhood she might have turned out entirely different.
Supplemental 18.1.4
We found her cell, after fighting through more Blood Pack and a lot more Krogans. We found another survivor; he wanted to restart the facility... He also filled in the truth; Cerberus used the children and killed to test her skills... Jack was going to kill him but I told her to let him go.. he was already as hurt by this experience as she was.
I walked her through the cell, listening to her as she opened up.. we planted the bomb and are now on our way to the shuttle.
Supplemental 18.1.5
We are in the shuttle now, Jack is about to blow it; I gave the pilot a heads up before we blasted that hell hole into dust. She seems at least a little happier now.
Supplemental 18.2.0 (Normandy)
After returning to the Normandy, I was just on my way to get something to eat from the Mess after a good shower when Joker told me that Miranda and Jack were at it again; With a sigh I told him I was on it... he wanted me to "Take pictures" which would have been interesting.
Anyway, They were arguing about what Cerberus had done to Jack and I told them to both Calm down and work together; we are a team until we complete this mission THEN they can bite each others heads off. Leaving them at that I knew they would work it out.
Supplemental 18.2.1
After grabbing something to eat, I brought down Tali and the Engineers something to eat; Tali wanted to talk to me in private and asked me to stand aside.
She wanted to tell me she thought she was being selfish when she admitted she liked me. I told her she has, was and never would be selfish; its just out of her character to be selfish... She was worried about our feelings jeopardising the mission. I told her it would never do that.
She then admitted she watched me closely, Feros, Virmire, Ilos.. always staying strong and pushing on..She watched me for so long... she was worried she would weaken me. I told her she would do the opposite, I fought for everyone, I fought for her.. I told her she had nothing to worry about; I placed my hand on the side of her visor and told her that I wanted to be with her... and not even the Reapers would stop me. I so wanted to see her face, see her beauty underneath the visor... She is reassured and told me she would do "Research" for us.. I told her it was "Captains Orders" for her to do it; causing her to let out a cute giggle...
I hope we survive this mission, I hope we survive the reapers if they ever turn up... I want to make her so happy.
