Jealousy and Groceries: Episode 8To everyone but Wrex's surprise, his distraction idea seems to be working.


Not bothering to think about how ridiculous the situation has gotten, Garrus starts herding people toward the back door.

Mordin doesn't want to.


Wrex takes a final glance outside and witnesses a surprising exchange.






He watches as Sarah heads calmly through the army of mercs toward Greg and Kolyat, handing the silly cyborg space ninja a data disc.



Wrex isn't quite sure what's going on here, only that it isn't good. He's a little worried about what information Sarah just handed over to The Leader of the Drugs. Garrus, who has joined Wrex at the window, hisses,

But now is not the time to discuss this, as Greg has just decided to bring in the gunship,

...calling for the mercs to advance as he, Kolyat and Sarah bravely leap aboard the ship and fly off. Bravely.
The building begins to shake and shudder under the assault of rockets and assorted pew-pew as Garrus and Wrex scramble for the exit.
After Mordin's television is destroyed in a hail of bullets, Garrus' order makes sense to him.


They run outside, trying to remember where they parked their shuttles. They're greeted by Tali, who hurriedly waves them over to hide behind a chest-high wall. It appears she's there to help. or at least to try to help.


She calls out,

Suddenly the sky is filled with gunships and shuttles emblazoned with the insignia of the

Tali tells the others to get to safety while she takes care of things, but that's against every instinct Wrex has.

Victus agrees that he probably could,


Wrex realizes that he should probably head to C-Sec headquarters to warn them about Sarah's betrayal, and besides that, a lot of their investigative team isn't trained in combat. With a final nod of thanks to Tali, the teams head to their shuttles and fly off.

Some time later, Shepard decides to infiltrate the offices of Painful Secrets Grocers. After sending Jack on a "Plan B" mission to doctor some pictures of Liara -

Shepard goes to ask for the help of famed tech expert General Rockin'. She's sure Liara will have the most sophisticated security systems in place to protect her secret stash of photos, so she needs Rockin's help.

Before she has the chance to say anything more, he interrupts her.


So Shepard asks EDI for help. Sadly. it's not her field of expertise.

She'd already tried getting in touch with Tali, but dialing her number resulted in a volus picking up the phone. Amidst a lot of background noise, he said in a frantic voice,

...whatever that meant. So Tali was out too, it seemed. Kasumi?

Shepard's at her wit's end.

Kaidan steps up.


Thane takes care of transportation.


Shepard agrees.

When they arrive at the PSG offices, it's after hours, but Shepard notices a light in one of the rooms on an upper floor.

They're soon faced with their first roadblock at the entrance to the building.

It's an ID card reader. Since Kaidan volunteered to be the tech guy, Shepard advises him to

Kaidan smiles.

After a few minutes of fiddling with the machine, he succeeds....somewhat.

Apparently that works, and they head inside, trying to be as quiet as possible. They walk to the end of the corridor and Shepard stops short.

She looks around the corner.


As they wait for the FENRIS mech to turn around so they can move on, it suddenly starts sputtering and smoking, then falls over with a clank.
Legion steps into view, his omnitool raised. It's clear he wants to make things up to Shepard and the others.


He leads them up several flights of stairs and a confusing network of hallways to Liara's Super Ultra Secret Room.

Everyone falls silent, seeing the door is already open slightly. Someone else is here. They sneak in, scanning the room quickly. They don't see anyone, but...

Shepard closes in on a suspicious computer terminal.

She waves everyone over. There are still more pictures of her and her friends here, and they appear to be uploaded from a huge network of Liara's spies. She takes a closer look.


All of them are huddled around the computer, their attention so focused on the screen that they're all startled when someone behind them shouts

...tune in next time for more ridiculousness and insanity!
