   Summary

   Shepard finally reaches the launch point of the crucible and sees their entire life flash before them. They're ready to join their friends on the far-off beach, to wait at the bar for Garrus, but orders are orders. They still have a life to lead, people to see, and worlds to help. As well as a turian they love too much to leave.

   Alternatively:
   Shepard is once again too stubborn to die, and the events that follow.
