Hey all. Not 100% Garrus related, but it is a turian thing. More on topic here than the thread I usually visit. Enjoy!

The lights of the bar flickered faintly. There were few patrons this late in the day, as most of the embassy's were closed. A few people sat around a table unwinding, as well as a few solitary drinkers.
"I hear Udina grumbling something worrying the other day," a human said to is fellows. All were minor workers in the various nearby embassies.
A turian at the table snorted as he took a drink. "He's always complaining about something," he retorted.
"Very true, but this was different," the human replied. "He said that the human Spectre Shepard was back on the Citadel."
An asari set her glass down. "That's not news though. Most of the embassy's were in uproar that Commander Shepard had returned. As soon as he was back, there was reports of firefights in a warehouse, and a politician was attacked on the lower levels."
"You think he had something to do with that?"
An elcor nodded its head slowly. "Conspiratorially: I have seen some of the C-Sec reports, and it seems that he was involved."
Eyes widened around the table. "Joram Talid was very vocal about his distaste for humans. And there
are rumors that when Shepard returned he was with Cerberus..."
"That's not what happened," a voice from another table called. The person at the table walked up and took a seat.
The turian looked over at him, before nodding. "And you know?"
"I was nearby when it happened," the newcomer said softly.
The asari leaned on her elbows, clearly interest in the conversation. "So what did happen?"
"I don't know why Shepard and his team were there," he answered. "But it was odd that they were following him, so I kept an eye out. I saw Talid extorting money from human businesses while spreading a very racist message."
The humans at the table shook their heads in disgust, while the turian looked shocked. "You saw this?"
"With my own eyes."
Still surprised, the turian embassy worker asked, "What happened next?"
"Someone tried to kill Talid out in the open. Shepard and his team chased them into a building," the storyteller continued. "Turns out, someone else on the Citadel had paid to have him killed.
I heard a couple of shots fired. When it was all said and done, the original attacker, a drell, was lead out, but not in cuffs," he added. "I found out later that the attacker was a young kid and that Shepard had stopped him from becoming a criminal and a killer. Seems he was trying to be like his father." Many of the people at the table winced.
"Shepard saved the kid from that," he finished. "Talid wasn't harmed."
The turian took a drink. "Know anything else about Shepard?"
"He stopped a criminal named Fade before that here on the Citadel," He replied. The visitor tensed. "I also know that Shepard and his team are going somewhere dangerous.
"That with no recognition or support, they are trying to do the right thing, and save lives." His head bowed. "Trying to save everyone, no matter how unworthy." He finished his drink and stood. "I need to leave."
"Thanks for the story," the human said as their guest stood to leave. "What's your name?"
He turned back to the table. "Doesn't matter," he said as he turned to leave. "I'm nobody important." The embassy workers watched the turian walk away, head bowed and shoulders slumped.
"Nobody important at all," Sidonis muttered to himself as he walked away, heading toward C-Sec.
