   Summary

   Set during the events of Mass Effect 1. A desperate C-Sec officer gets cut loose. Now, jobless, broke and half-broken, he drifts, aimlessly, through the same wards he once wanted to protect. That’s where he crosses paths with a quarian he can’t forget - and this time, walking away isn’t an option.
