The ship drifted in vacuum of space. The hallways were lit only
by the low glow of the emergency lights. The echo of slow
footsteps was the only indication of life; if it could be called
that now. Brandon carried Shauna back to the 'Razgriz'. He laid
her on the mess table; any thoughts escaped him. The woman he
tried to save…who he wanted to help…learned to love…failed. He
failed her. His eyes hung over her. Her chest stagnant. Her thin
fingers soaked in blood. Donovin dropped to his knees beside
her; clutching her hand out of grief and pain for himself.
The silence is deafening until suddenly the ships communication
system springs to life
ATTENTION VESSEL YOU ARE APPROACHING THE MIGRANT FLEET. PLEASE
STATE YOUR INTENTIONS.
Star lord looks up from the mess table
REPEAT. WE HAVE YOU MARKED AS A BATARIAN CORVETTE. YOUR ATTACHED
CRAFT IS THE ONLY REGISTERED SHIP. STATE YOUR INTENTIONS OR YOU
WILL BE FIRED UPON.
Star lord wheezes as he gets up and activates the comm link
"This is Captain Donovin Craig I am the owner of the attached
ship 'Razgriz'. I am requesting an audience with...." He tries
to remember the name of the quarian captain shauna served under.
" Kar'Danna vas Rayya."
DENIED. YOU HAVE A BATARIAN SHIP. YOU MAY POSE A THREAT.
He saw the guns ports of the two ships open and aim in his
direction.
"If you have flagged this ship already, you know the drive core
is operating at less than 50% and running on emergency power.
Also you know I am the only thermal signature."
The comm remained silent for a moment.
HOW DID YOU RECEIVE THESE COORDINATES?
His mind went blank. Not for a lack of an answer, but what it
must have meant for her to tell him. The trust she had in him.
"Af…After time adrift among open stars…along tides of light and
through shoals of dust…we will return to where we began."
The comm channel went silent once more. He looked down the
cannon barrels still targeted at him.
All it would take is one shot for this to end.
The guns retracted from both ships.
Damnit.
THIS IS CAPTAIN KAR'DANNA VAS RAYYA.

"Why did we disband again?"
"The war was over and the loss of the three of you. Reaper is
still looking for Sombra out in space, while widowmaker has been
handling the exterminate Overwatch job down here. We all think
Genji is dead. But we thought you were too and here you are."
"Well yea spread the news. And hey, as a welcome home gift you
mind doing something for me?"

Captain. I request to board your ship via my personal craft the
'Razgriz'. The corvette ship will remain on autopilot stasis."
PERMISSION GRANTED. ARMED SECURITY WILL BE PRESENT.
"I wouldn't expect any less, sir."
ONE INQUIRY…WHAT BROUGHT YOU HERE?
"…the wishes of a dead quarian."
Star lord cut the comm.

"Wow it feels weird not having the band on..."
"Well you wanted it. So what did happen these last three
years."
"I was frozen in stasis. Maybe Sombra and Genji have the same
thing happening to them. I might set out to find them soon, I
was just going to go catch up with Lucio and maybe Jack. Maybe
Hanzo to see if he wants to find his brother."
Winston winces at the last name.
"Uhm..."
"What?"
"Hanzo is dead..."
"Really! Like dead dead or dead."
"Really dead. Right before the war ended he and a Turian Sniper
were having a staredown. The Turian shot first."

The 'Razgriz' contacted and docked with the 'Rayya'. Star lord
noticed how much dried blood covered his suit. He could only
clench his fist before it passed and put on his helmet. His
doubled armored doors sealed behind him and was greeted by four
barrels of four armed guards. He secretly hoped one has an itchy
trigger finger.
"Weapons down!"
Captain Kar'Danna marched to 'greet' the guest; his hand never
left off his pistol. He gave him a good hard look. No alien set
foot on a quarian ship, let alone the Migrant Fleet. It being a
human was more than just rare.
"You have me here, human."
Even across races, star lord respected rank, but it wasn't a
choice, it was his defense mechanism. It was a backup mode to
function. His voice was humble with his request.
"Sir…where do you bring your deceased?"
Kar'Danna stepped in closer. He noticed the dry blood, but empty
holsters. The human wasn't threat, nor was his request.
"We can send in a team to retrieve the body."
Brandon continued staring at the Captain. Kar'Danna saw eyes
empty and dead as the voice spoken.
"Sir…where do I bring her?"
The quarian knew what he was dealing with. He had seen enough
battle to know.
"Bring her and we will escort you."
"Thank you, sir."
Star lord saluted before he returned toward his ship. He paused
before Shauna. Hoping for something. Anything that wasn't this.
What he would give to see those eyes beneath that glass. Hell,
he would give everything to be lying there instead of her. He
leaned in and picked her up, cradling her in his arms once
again. This time it is different…nothing was there. No life…no
emotion…emptiness. He held her tighter, fighting back his
emotions. He returned onto the 'Rayya' as Kar'Danna addressed
his men.
"ATTENTION!"
His guards straightened up. He carried Shauna down the hall. No
one else existed at that moment. He couldn't take his eyes off
her. Blind hope that he would awake from the nightmare. That he
could hear her voice.
More quarians noticed him carrying her. Nothing was said as the
escort directed him. Murmurs filled the gathering crowd. Some
questioned why there was a human. Others over who the quarian
was. He heard nothing. He was detached from his own reality. He
didn't even know if he was in a med-bay or morgue, only that a
quarian motioned that he could put Shauna down.
Star lord knelt over and set her down delicately. He gently
rested her head on a barren slate.

After a few minutes of silence passed, Winston handed back the
wristband, and gave him a second as well.
"Wanna try them out?"
Prep smiles holding a bunch of newly crafted specialty bullets
he made, waiting for Winston.
"Yes I do!"
The run outside.
"So your shield still deploys, but now press the new button."
He does so and spiked tips pop from the shield, which then
starts spinning like a buzz saw.
"Winston you out did your self this time. What about the other
one?"
"Oh, that's a grappling hook made from the same hard light type
compound as the Shield is made from. I remembered you more as a
stratagist then a brawler, so I added it to fit your fighting
style. There is also a communicator in there so we can stay in
touch."
Prep starts loading his gun full of the new rounds he created.
He runs through some new training drills with the new rounroundd
equipment.

The medigel star lord applied no longer held as his ship flew
away from the quarian fleet
He couldn't feel angry or sad he was too tired. He tries to take
control of the ship manually and his hands slip due to his own
blood
His vision fades in and out as he finally passes out
He begins to crash onto a planet his helmet attempts to cover
his face but it gets stuck as it's too damaged
The auto pilot takes over as it skids across an open field
causing star lord to get launched into the wall
Minutes past as a giant ape opens the hatch and investigates it
with another man
Star Lord's eyes barely open as a woman appears as well
"Oy! I was trying to sleep whats all this then?"

The crash above the underground lab causes a power flucuation
Suddenly I awake
I look down and see my body in some type of suit
It's silver and white colors shine under the lights of the lab
I scream and shoot up easily breaking out of metal restraints on
my legs and feet
I look and see vitals and a title

"You didn't tell me Tracer was visiting Winston."
"I didn't think about it. You walking out of the grave kind of
distracted me."
The two land in the ship before Tracer notices Prep.
"Maybe she will be distracted to."
He smiles when they finally stumble upon Star Lord.
Prep puts on his mask, unsure of the intruders status. He then
sees the Red pool under him. He speaks, voice changed to a
deeper tone due to the masks vouce changer.
"Winston, Mercy wouldn't happen to be here too would she?"
Winston picks him up and runs him out of the ship and inside,
Tracer follows him quzzically asking him about what is going on.
Prep starts analyzing the ship.
"Is this... Jesus no wonder he crashed. This ship is older then
me... Patched up pretty well though."
Prep continues to walk through the ships interior.

As prep walks in he immediately sees a mess hall table covered
in blood and broken as if someone repeatedly punched and kicked
it
He Continues to explore
