The hangar doors had barely shut tight behind Shepard when the barrage of questions began. Vega stalked after him, barking one out after the other. "What the hell's going on? Where's Anderson? Where are we going ( Read more... )

The weather wasn't too bad in Vancouver this time of year. A lot of rain, sure, but also decent temperatures. Kaidan had been staying places too classified to mention for too long; the breeze alone had put him in a good mood. Though... that might've also been the part where resurfacing like this meant he had a one-shot chance to talk to some old ( Read more... )

"It's good to have you aboard, Major."

"It feels good to be aboard, sir," Kaidan said. He had his duffle bag slung over his shoulder. It was heavy, but it was the good kind of heavy ( Read more... )

Kaidan switched off his omni-tool ( Read more... )

Okay, Kaidan'd be lying if he said he hadn't been tense lately. The promotion, the job waiting for him that he was increasingly sure he was going to take, and, y'know, the part where Shepard just went in through a dangerous relay-- yeah. He was a little jittery ( Read more... )

Okay, good thing about tonight: movie night with Jack and Allie. Time to relax, eat some food (or drink some TruBlood, look, Kaidan didn't want to-- well, this needed to go right.) and watch some decent movies. That was a good thing.

Today, he was going to make use of the downtime the Alliance had offered him to go home and spend some times with friends. Friends he was... bringing along, actually, because he didn't really have a lot of them left in Vancouver ( Read more... )

Kaidan was starting to get his feet back under him. Didn't mean he was going to pass on an invitation to go drinking with Dean, though - but maybe he wasn't going to order any of the hard stuff this time.

Maybe. He was still making his mind up.

"I'll get the drinks," he said. "What do you want?"

[[ for dean. nfb due to distance. ]]

Two duffle bags hit the floor. Then the door slammed shut. Kaidan parked the back of his shiny new uniform against that door and let out a sigh ( Read more... )

Kaidan wasn't sure why he'd expected this meeting to go off even remotely well. Previous experience had taught him that it generally didn't, even if the Admiralty Board was less obtuse than the Council. And it wasn't like he could blame them for putting all of their focus on Shepard: having a presumed-dead war hero walking around, working for a ( Read more... )
