Indeed, my Shepard has missed Ashley so much and longs to have her in his cabin, what he's settled for in the meantime is just not good enough. Also just, rather wrong.

Shepard: Hey, Garrus. Want to have drinks in my quarters?
Garrus: Sure thing, just let me finish calibrating.
Shepard goes to walk away then turns back
Shepard:Oh and one more thing.
Garrus: What?
Hands him a set of Phoenix armor
Shepard: Wear this.
Garrus: :unsure:

@Alliance; I'm not sure what you mean, how does the 0 crewmembers relate to extra stuff planned in the loft, but never executed?

@Ocelot; Hey, welcome!

MY EYES........MY EYES.........I'M BLIND........OH THE HUMANITY!!!!!!

If there was never going to be a crew member in shepards cabin then why say NONE just say "The Loft" or Shepards Cabin other wise you're saying None just for the sake of it. Like I said it might just be an oversight.

P.S Is there no one else here. Image IPB

Oh! Im here too! lol. Indeed Ocelot, Work, different time-zone, Christmas time, I guess a lot of people are busy.

Btw Alliance have you seen updated old-west fic? I added a part, but I feel like it could still use some improvement, maybe you have any thoughts? (it's in the same blog as the first bit btw)

Well for those that are here I've finished part V finally. As always I posted the links for the previous parts. For those of you who don't know Dr Anna Johnson is a character I've created not one that appears in the game.  This is however her first apperance.

Part V - "Young, Opinionated & Nervous - Just Like When I First Came Aboard"

Part I Here - "A New Old Friend"
Part II Here - "It Could of Been Him"
Part III Here - "Thank God For Coffee"
Part IV Here - "A Red Rose & I Love You"

SSV Normandy SR2 - Docked at the Citadel for Shore Leave
Deck 3 - Mess Hall
06.50hrs

Gardner: Will there be anything else Lt.Commander?
Ashley: Just another coffee would be great thanks.
Gardner: No problem, I'll be right back.
EDI: Lt. Commander Dr Anna Johnson is waiting outside the airlock
Ashley: Oh right she's early
EDI: In fact she has been outside the Normandy for 48 minutes. She has been moving backwards and forwards to the airlock but has not entered. From my observations I believe she is nervous.
Ashley: It's her first posting. I remember what I was like reporting for my first assignment. Chief I'll take that coffee to go.
Gardner: Yes Sir.

*Ashley exits the Normandy and looks across the gantry. There she sees a young attractive woman with deep brown curly hair and pale white skin standing at no more then 5ft tall. She reminds her a little of her younger sister Sarah but Ashley puts that thought out of her mind "This is a crewman under your command, Remember that Ashley". She then starts to walk over to her.

Ashley: Dr Johnson?
Johnson: arrrr....oh I'm so sorry sir I didn't see you there.
Ashley: Are you alright.
Johnson: Yes sir, It's just this is my first assignment ever and I'm kinda nervous.
Ashley: I could tell. EDI says that you've been pacing out here for almost an hour.
Johnson: The transport arrived early and I was told to report to the Normandy strait away. When I got to the Alliance dock office the told me I wasn't expected till 07:00hrs, but I could go up to the Normandy's birth all the same. When I got here there was no one around, I didn't know weather to come aboard or wait out here for an officer to meet me so.......
Ashley: I get the idea doctor. I'm Lt. Commander Williams the Normandy's executive officer
Johnson: Dr An...Dr Johnson reporting as ordered sir.
Ashley: You seem nervous doctor?
Johnson: It's just I've never served on a starship before I've always kept my feet on solid ground.
Ashley: I know what you mean, before I was assigned to Commander Shepards team I had never served on a starship before. It took a while to get used to the background noise but give it a couple of days and you won't even notice it.
Johnson: What's he like....you know Commander Shepard? There where some Marines talking on the transport they said that he got his original crew killed and that he ran away form the reapers when they attacked Earth.
Ashley: I'll cut you a break doctor since you're new. Commander Shepard is one of the finest officers in the Alliance Navy if not the entire galaxy! He would do anything to save his crew even sacrifice his own life and as for running away from Earth I was there side by side with him. He didn't want to leave he wanted to stay a fight. But he knew the only way to save Earth was to unite the races of this galaxy and stand agaisnt the reapers as one.
Johnson: I..I di....Didn't mean to cause offence sir.
Ashley: If you had you wouldn't be standing now. After a mission with Shepard you'll understand the kind of man he is. Now grab you're gear Dr Chakwas is waiting for you.
Johnson. Yes Sir and again I'm Sorry for my comments Sir.
Ashley: Apology accepted *smiles*. This way *Thinks to herself - I thought I was green on my first assignment, but she does remind me a little of myself back then*

@ Mr.Brainheart - Sorry I saw your post last night but I was to tired to read anything. But now I got this new part finished and posted I'll take a look.Image IPB

She's lucky she caught Ashley in a good mood there! Or she would've gotten on a rant about having some more respect for shepard, the bloke saving the universe.

I tried to imagine this as a proper in-game cutscene, not just a gag scene.

Shepard
: Well, we are uttlerly screwed. That is, if the council doesn't pull their heads out of their asses and actually look at the state of affairs.
Ashley: You're an optimist Shepard, or rather, you used to be. I know you try your hardest to convince this people that the Reapers are real, and they are in fact on Earth right now.
Shepard: Apparently, not trying hard enough. They're still convinced that the Reapers are the conjured-up figment of my imagination.
Ashley: Pretty powerful conjured figment if you ask me.
Shepard: I know - and I've constantly tried to wish it away. Never works.
Ashley: I told you before Shepard, the council is always more concerned with how others view them, than actually dong something.
Shepard: Does that encompass every politician under the rainbow?
Ashley: I suppose.
Shepard: I'm at the point where I'm ready to suggest violence.
Ashley: Won't they chalk that up to the stress getting to you and possible mental disorders?
Shepard: I've always been crazy Ash, it's why my plans always work. But 'Crazy' doesn't translate to 'wrong'. 'Screwed in the head' maybe, but not wrong.
Ashley: I've noticed. You're a little...
Shepard: 'Insane in the brainpan'?
Ashley: Unconventional. 
Shepard: Comes from a lot of practice.
Ashley: I imagine so.

The same reason Dr. Chakwas does. Johnson is a graduate of ANMC (Alliance Navy Medical Corps). While she is a doctor she is a Navy doctor trained as a juinor officer. The same way I think Dr. Chakwas would be. 

Mr.Brainheart

I know I'm a little mean sometimes but I think it will make for a good friendship story arc.
I've looked at your second part and I it's good. I don't know about anyone else but when I red it I imagined it's set out like Firefly. I still think the story is a fantastic idea. Maybe it looks a little odd because you're laying out the text more like a script (in part 2) than you did in the Prologue. so you have lost quite a bit of discriptive text. Just a thought.

I know what it's like when you trying to write a story. When I posted that dialogue a few weeks back about Shepard having nightmares about when he died. It gave me an idea for a story about what happened to Shepard on Akuzze with the Thressre Maw and Cerbrus. I spendt the next day writing a story based on that. After about 7 hours I finished and it was nearly 500 pages long. Now I'm going through it chapter by chapter and changing bits here and there.

Maybe you should just write the whole story that you've got in your head. Then you can read through it and make changes to fit your vission. It works for me.

@ Aurora - Love that. I can just hear Joker - Man He's such a downer.

Because sometimes I forget how to spell it and other times I've got Captain Katharine Janeway on my shoulder saying:
 
ma'am is acceptable in a crunch but I would rather you called me captain.
 
That's why I tend to use her rank or just sir. Besides I think she  likes having everyone call her sir. especially the male officers and crew.

Ashley: I'm a Williams deal with it, And Call me SIR!

Sir doesn't really make sense though.... I know they did it in BSG but that was a world where it had been collectively decided that "Sir" went for all people, male of female.  That's not the case in the ME Universe.  Men are "Sir" and women are "Ma'am."  I think as a strong female she'd be pretty pissed if someone called her "Sir" when "Ma'am" is just as demanding of respect and authority.  It's almost like saying "Sir" carries more weight, which it doesn't.

Rank is fine. But even Janeway would've been like "I'm sorry whatthehell did you call me?"

Femshep gets addressed with Ma'am, so I guess Ashley would too.

@Alliance; yeah I was focussing on dialogue, they're kind of like samples, but I think I'll hold off of writing it for now, I'm not quite satisfied with it the way it is, I think I might look at it again when I have some more time, that'll be quite a few months away.

@Urus; Now I wonder what Ash is looking at in that pic, is there something on her foot?

Brainheart, hmm, she's not looking, she has just closed her eyes. Maybe thinking. Maybe about Shepard.

Anyone writes what she is thinking about? :) Please :)

Ashley's thoughts: So I left garrus's sniper on the workbench along with Kaidan's pistol under a cloth...Wrex's boomstick's in the engineroom. God, think Ashley, think! Where did you leave Shepards gun? *sigh* Why did I think hiding the guns away would be fun? Maybe I shouldn't have gone for the "special drink" at the bar. My head...Ow. Feels like a boar is on the loose in it. Shepards gun...*Her hand moves to the back of her head* Shepard's gun, where did I put you? Dam-What? Hey! Where's my bun? Where the hell is my bun gone!

I can't believe it took me 10 minutes to write that...Image IPB

Now I didn't know that as I have never used the femshep option in mass effect. I've always been maleshep. And before any of you say that I'm insurcure it only because Bioware wouldn't let femshep romance Ashley in ME1. I'm loyal to Ashley or liara since I always kill Kaiden off (Sorry Lt).

Me: Sorry Sir....I mean Ma'am......I mean Lt. Commander....I mean *Bang*
Ashley: Stop wasting my time idiot
Me: My foot....My goddam foot. you shot my foot Ma'am
Ashley: See you can get it right first time

It's odd that you mention Ash being pissed at being called Sir Badpie because in her initial toalk after eden prime she addresses Femshep as Sir when the conversation is over. I just played the other day and the shepard I was playing did a double take like "whatthehell did you just say?"

Ashley: Too late
Shepard: Ashley what the hell are you doing?
Ashley: Just teaching these raw officers Navy protocol.
Shepard: By shooting them. Haven't you learned anything from me?
Ashley: I'm sorry I got all excited
Shepard: Don't use a gun you could cause a hull breach. Use a tasser it hurts like hell but there's no lasting damage.
Ashley: Of course your right but they gave me pancakes I got a hyper sugar rush.
Shepard: Pancakes, you gave the woman I love pancakes. Forget the tasser Ash I'm gonna use the Cain.

Lol, No!...the pancake-plan backfired on us! Sorry :( All hope is lost.


Serious question: If Ashley, in the end battle against the reapers, had the choice of either being in command of her own spaceship, or fighting alongside Shepard, what would she choose?Factoring in that she knows she can make a difference when fighting with Shepard, but not sure of that when she's manning her own ship, although the difference she could make with her own ship would be potentially bigger.
