Shepard had to deal with yet more rachni today. There were some soldiers out on some nasty blasted rock who were holding out against them. Shep hooked the Mako up to some gun turrets (which have a much better aim than him - go robot overlords, go!). The team worked together well to pick off the rachni, though at one point Shep was distracted by the gooey green colour polonium rounds create, and didn't notice a rachni sneaking up on him. Fortunately, Ashley shot it at point-blank range with her sniper rifle. It was then on to a tiny space station, which they had to blow up. We got the first quarian armour in the whole game. It wasn't as good as the turian shizz Tali already has on. If it wasn't for that glitch that lets you equip any armour, I wouldn't have taken Tali anywhere this PT!
Since he's a good commander, Shep did some favours for his chums - getting Wrex's armour back from Tonn Actus first. That felt good. We stumbled upon that arse shortly after Eden Prime and wow were we underlevelled for that encounter. This time we steamrollered him. Then Shep went to kill Dr Saleon for Garrus. Shep and Wrex had great fun playing biotic table tennis with zombies.
Lastly, he handed some geth data over to Tali, who seemed pretty pleased.
Things got a little weird when he went to talk to Ashley. "Scuttlebutt says you're interested in T'Soni." What? Why would anyone even think that...? Shep has only spoken to her once since they rescued her, and that was to ask about Benezia and boring Prothean ruins. He wasn't really in the mood for mind games with Ash, but fortunately she dropped the topic and told him a story about her family instead. Of course, then Shep went to talk to Liara, and she hit on him. "I feel like we have a connection, Shepard." Shep thinks something must have connected with your head pretty hard. Leave him alone, ladies, he's not a piece of meat!
