Sick story, and sick endurance.

One thing I've wondered, and maybe I've missed this, but couldn't Garrus and Liara hit Tali with the possibility of Shepard not coming back? Like, if I was in one of their positions, and I was speaking with Tali I would have said something similar to this or this actually.

"I didn't tell you because I didn't want to give you false hope. I didn't want to build your hopes of Shepard coming back only for them to be thwarted. We had no idea what could have happened in those two years he was out."

That's just me, and from my point that is a very logical reason as to why they didn't tell her anything.

Just caught up after a week or reading both Fall of the Normandy, and End of Dawn
Love the OCs and realism you have imprinted into all the characters, really like the story you have crafted
Hoping for a new chapter soon :)

Very nice. It only took me a week but I read both "Fall of Normandy" and just finished "the end of dawn". Keep up the good work! Looking forward to the next chapter

In the two weeks or so it took me to read 87 chapters of this and Fall of the Normandy, this man zoomed up to the top of my favourite authors. Not that my opinion matters very much to anybody, but if you want some epic adventures with a nice heap of character development and romance, that also happens with Commander Sheppie, the Bois, and some more OC Bois, this is the place for you.

You're back!
It will be interesting to see how you lay things out all in order - I've always done the suicide run before the Arrival DLC. Especially given how you've changed how you've changed some of the mission parameters. What determines how you change some missions and change certain characters (Sidonis for example)?

Glad your'e back my man, Glad to read some more quality story's then the crap that people put up this days on this site and on AO3. Began to be tired to only see smutty stuff, kiss promt, angst story that are angsty to only be angsty, Tali storys that we have seen 1000 of times (As in she is awkward, the writer have a fetish for her hips and the boring ''InEeDtOFeElYoUrSkInOnMiNe''. Your Tali is more original and is relatable) and turian/drell fetish crap that you can see that the Shepard in that story are cleary the writer itself.

Hope you are doing alright during these times.

Otherwise i have no complains about this chapter, superb quality as always!

OMG! I thought that my favorite story was abandoned.

I can understand that life and writers block are to blame.
This chapter was really good, better than most stories on this site.

I hope the next chapter doesn't take a year.

Wow, I had no idea it had been almost a year. I thought it was a few months, tops. I very much remember the last update and had to go back and check my review date.

"interrogative paradigm" - I like that.

I am, however, excited to see how this plays out. Don't wait another year :)

Hot damn. When I saw the notification from FF regarding an update I honestly did a double take.

Look forward to more.

Honestly; haven't finished chp yet, but given witing talent in past 5:5 Stars likely

Love to see you’re back, was getting scared but no worries! Quality takes time and even this chapter was better than 80% of the stuff I’ve been reading since last chapter. Thanks for writing

Not gonna lie I feared you gave up on this story. So I'm very happy to see that you posted a new chapter. I get it though life's been crazy and it's only getting worse for everyone. Stay safe and healthy and post when you can there are more important things right now.

As good as ever, hope you've been ok!

Just wanted to say I love your work and hope you continue this is steadily become my favorite story, gonna go reread fall and this now

I really want to see more of this. I massively enjoyed both this and The Fall Of Normandy. This AU intrigues me to no end and I thirst for more.
