I wish someone of the crew did notice it too that would help them ...
Just inspired me an idea to how bring back Thane, right now (sorry for the mistakes and grammar things feel free to message me for the fixing):
The Normandy was silent, most of its crew on leave on the citadel, the usuals Garrus, joker, Jaavik, in their quarters.
Shepard entered her cabin, all body feeling heavy, starting to take off her armor.
She started to undress, just letting fall her clothes on the floor.
Sliding more than walking to her shower, brain empty, and looking distractely her personal laptop's flashing led.
A message...shrugging in her mind she ignored it and went under the warm water trying to forget everything.
She didn't dare to close her eyes for she would see his large ones looking at her, his discreet smiles and the way his lips curved when calling her siha...
She left the bathroom and just throwed herself on her bed, hoping that sleep won't take too long.
She looked through the large bay above her bed, the stars shinning and sparckling and wondered how many beings have been staring at them, how many lives spent under them ...A blink, here what is our existences... maybe Sovereign was true...what is our lives compared to the eternity of the universe...She changed side, trying to hide her eyes from this flashing, She sighed, it wouldn't happen tonight. One more restless night...She decided to go chat with joker, since he would probably be on his precious leather seat...
She chuckled when she remembered how Thane and her used his seat, while he was on date with IDA at the citadel...They even used Thane's leather- kit care to make sure he never notice the tiny scratch on the side of it. Of course he noticed it: he was hiding his special fornax numbers right under it and he rubbed his arm on the sewed scratch...Well maybe it is not a good idea to come and try speak about Thane to the pilot...
She returned to her cabin and checked the still flashing led of her computer...A message...
-"Who will ask me to save their planet today", she wondered ironically.
Her heart fell in her knees when she saw the name of the mail: Thane Krios...
She hesitated, hands slightly shaking, looking these words over and over, unable to open it.
-"OMG he did it again, he sent me a message for I find it after his death...
She could hear her own heartbeat in ears and inhaled to try and calm herself.
She stood up and went in the bathroom and pass some fresh water on her face before returning to her desk.
-"Ok, I can do this, what, it is probably the same one he sent me last time... "
CLICK.
She started to read, and suddenly holded her breath and had her arms fall on sides, stunned.
-"Wha...what??? What the...no??"
Tears started to roll down her cheeks, she was unable to move and her eyes were mesmerized by the screen...
IDA voice resonated in the room:
-"Commander Shepard your vital signs are giving unsual signals do you need the Dr Chakwas help?"
She still looked at the screen, one hand brassed on herself and the other one crisped on the mouse, shaking .
-"Commander Shepard ?" insisted IDA.
less than 2 minutes later Chakwas ran in and looked appeased when seeing her commander sit on her chair ... before noticing her rapid breathing, shaking hands and bead of sweet melted with tears on her face...
-"No she definitely is not well". Not loosing time she grabed a blanket and put it on Shepards shoulders then scanned her with her omnitool.
-"Shepard... answer to me.. what happened? Did you fell and knock you? Are you under chemicals? Did you bet drinks with Vega again ? Commander?"
When she was about to give her a shot to try to wake her from this shock, the commander spoke with a ghostly voice:
-" He lives"
-"Who? who lives?"
-"Thane...he didn't really died on his bed at Huerta..."
Chakwas felt her heart constrict when she realised what her friend and comander had to face alone while all the galaxy was waiting from her to save them all.
-"Oh Liza..." she took her hand in hers, feeling sorry and ashamed.
-"He is alive...I can't believe it... do I read wrong? Is it a dream or an hallucination? Please Doctor, read my mail and tell me I'm not insane??"
-"Ok I read but please try to relax and drink this pouch it will help you"
While Shepard tried to drink and read in same time , the older woman started to read:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Siha, I have asked my son to type you this message cause I'm too weak to do it myself.
I hope you are well and I want to apologise if I scared you at Huerta hospital. Please believe me, if I tell you I wasn't intent to fake my death, specialy to you my dearest Siha. You know that you are my reason to live, and that I"m the first surprised to be still alive.
I remember you and Kolyat saying the prayer, I remember your eyes my Siha and my fellings of happyness to have you at my side for my last travel and the heart brake I had for letting you alone. Then all went black and I can only rely on what my son told me.
What he said were the hospital machines declared me dead, my heart beats and pulse were undetectable. Kolyat prayed, on a chair close to me and fell asleep. And I scared the hell out of him when my hand gripped his siddenly as I woke up. The machines had been used to someone else room since I was considered dead, but when I woke up I was so weak and needed help to breath. Kolyat tried to get a nurse to help me but she looked at him as if he was a fool and ran to see someone at the emergency. he hospital was a wasp nest, so many people needing help... My son took me in his flat where my old breathing kit was stored and while I rested he ran to find you at the Normandy usual docking bay. But you were gone, someone told him since it were a very classified destination they couldn't reach you.
While my son looked for you I thought about how horrible and tacteless I were at the hospital. To my excuse I was just trying to help you to accept and maybe hope for my passing. I thought maybe if you were angry at me you would be less sad...But your tears when praying close to me, and the fact that I survived once again the Kepral syndrome made me decide to try the last hope surgery. My son agreed to accompany me to Kahje were there would have enough Drell blood samples of my group, and there is the Hanari top research center to use all their last progress treatments and implants to help what the surgery won't be able to achieve. About this I can say you will be a part of these experimentation: Mordin sent them copy of the cybernetics usd on you by Cerberus.
So here I am my Siha, on Kahje, and I have been under surgery and survived it so far. My son gave one of his lungs, but he is younger, and he is recovering faster than me.
I hope you will forgive me if I caused you sadness and be sure that you are still my lover, my warrior angel, that I will carry in my heart for ever and after.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P.S. My father is doing well and each day he is stronger. I think if you find a moment to come and see him, that it would increase his recovery significantly. He spoke often of you when you were under alliance guard, and Im not a kid anymore, so if he ask you, know that I would be proud to become your son in law. I would use your time with him to fix some things I had to leave at the citadel. If you come ask for the Hanari central temple office, they will tell you where to find us, they know your name and ship..
P.P.S. By the way, thanks for saving Kahje, you are truly a representation of Kalahira in this universe...But you are still not my mom."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Dr Chakwas read the last line, flustered Garrus, Impassive Jaavik, limping Joker helped by IDA, ran in the cabin, all worried since IDA told them Chakwas was in emergency in the commander quarters.
All astonished to see Shepard and Chakwas nose and eyes red, laughing and sniffling behind a paper handkerchief.
Et voila. Saved Thane.
And I have not even used the Jaavik mojo (ability to influence the dna evolution)
Sorry for being rude to the english tongue I will try to improve.
