On Eden Prime, where this all started....
At the original dig site of the Prothean Beacon, a moneument rests before an eagerly awating crowd of tourists. One would be waiting at the front gate unless they were in the military service, in which they would be granted access earlier than civilians.
An old Alliance Marine in his Alliance Dress Uniform and walks in, removing his cap so as not to disrespect the monument. As he walks forth, two large ship replicas, one cast of pure silver, the other in pure gold, greet him on either side. On his left in silver was the Normandy SR-1. On his right in gold, the Normandy SR-2.
The marine kept pressing forth as he entered into the main attraction: A large art display known as "Shepard's Field." It was the most accurate display of London that stretched for nearly a mile in diameter, maybe more. The marine felt the memories overwhelm him as he kept walking forward.
As he started on the visitors path, he saw a display of the late General Kirahee, who was the Salarian STGs most decorated officer. He was posed with his platoon directing commands to them and standing couragously. Beneath him lay a plaque with the words "hold the line" in all capitals and bold.
As he continued on the path which wrapped around Kirahee's memorial, he came across a scene displaying two defectors who redeemed themselves: Jacob Taylor and Miranda Lawson. The two were depicted using biotics to bring down the enemies that surrounded them, with the Cerberus logo crossed out on their uniforms. A plaque at their feet said "Humanities Best Interests"
Going forward on his right was an old friend of his: Admiral Tali'Zorah along with her friend Legion. She was posed using her omni-tool to cast her incendiary tech while Legion was aiming his sniper rifle. A plaque beneath bore the words "Synthesis."
Continuing on, he saw a group of Krogan with a single Salarian. This Salarian was none other than Mordin Solus in a postulating pose. Beaneath him was a plaque that said "The Very Model of a Scientist Salarian." The Krogan near by were more distinct. Most of them were still alive to this day. Urdnot Grunt and Urdnot Wrex. Urdnot Wrex was seen smashing two Marauders together while Urdnot Grunt stood proudly over a Brute which laid dead beneath him. Between the two laid a plaque that said "Restoring the Krogan Name"
The marine pressed on into the final stretch. One straight path which had three different memorials. On his left was a Turian which many could recognize. Beneath him laid a plaque that said "Spectre Garrus Vakarian: The Renegade for Peace." To his right was a now well known Asari as well as the Shadow Broker herself. Beneath her laid a plaque that said "Dr. Liara T'Soni: The Eye of The Past."
The marine passed those two statues and finally reached the main attraction. Standing before him were three Alliance Marines, two of which were Spectres. On the left was Gunnery Chief Ashley Williams. Beneath her was a plaque that said "Alliance Through and Through." "I'm sorry you couldn't make it, Ash, but I know you would be proud of us for fighting th good fight for you," said the marine.To the right was a face that looked like a younger image of his own. General Kaidan Alenko looked upon his younger self and nodded, still approving of the job the sculpters did. He didn't read the plaque which he had seen many times: "Humanity's Brightest Light."
In the middle stood the man which Kaidan had known most of his military career. N7 Commander John Shepard. The three statues stood proudly together, cast out of pure platinum and lit from underneath as a Reaper lay dead behind them. At Shepard's feet rested a plaque which stated "Hero of the Galaxy." General Alenko saluted to the statue, standing proudly for his commander and his old friend. "Thank you, Commander. Thank you for making the world a better place, for all of us."
I'm almost sure I forgot someone, but this took me a while to write. Please give me a break here!
