A thought I had regarding Terror's "A war is coming" statement:
And so they stood there, scared of what just was happening in front of them.
"Do you think he can argue them down ? As he ever does ?", Liara asked.
"I don't know. If he can make them understand Tali's condition...and that it was not...HER...", Garrus sighed.
The scene in front of them was a mix of political arguing and throwing threaths on whoever was not insulted yet.
On the right stood Admiral Han'Gerrel, standing his ground before an unbelievable angry Tevos. Their "talk" got harsher since Shala'Raan had to sit down, because of the fact that was revealed only a few minutes ago and the only thing that now consumed her mind: Tali'Zorah....indoctrinated.
Nobody could see her face, but her body language gave away enough. She was weeping. The last time she wept that freely was when Tali's mother died. She lost a good friend back then and now......she likely lost Tali, too.
The Geth that tried to take her place in the "talk" was completely ignored by Tevos.
On the left side it didn't look better. Primarch Victus was shouting with an angry voice and seemed to burst into flames as he "discused" the idiotic decision of a human representive. Besides him stood Urdnot Wrex, simply adding a cold stare at the human.
After what the indoctrinated Tali did to the Alliance and the Asari Republics, both victims now wanted revenge. And because the person responsible was at the moment out of reach, her species had to take the hits.
The war between the Asari-Human Coalition and the Geth-Quarian Alliance, was now nearly unavoidable.
Even that it was quite a loud situation, nobody overheard a few simple noises. It sounded as someone threw something with force on the ground. As Liara and Garrus turned around to the sound, the leaders stopped their arguing.
"You can't be SERIOUS !", the one making that sounds yelled.
"After all WE stood against TOGETHER, this is it how the galaxy will go on ?", he asked them. No answer came.
"It seems the Reapers were right about one thing: the only thing we cause.....is chaos.", the man said in a defeated voice, a voice nobody ever thought to hear from this one man.
With that Commander John Shepard, N7 soldier, first human Spectre, Hero of the Citadel, Destroyer of the Collectors, Destroyer of the Reaper and the man who made treaties between species that hated each other for a long time, turned and said: "I quit !........If I have to save Tali on my own......then so be it......."
All that remained of him were his badges on the ground of the Council chambers.
That and an awkward silence...
