Okay then. *coughs*


Miranda had two messages waiting for her when she finally returned to her quarters that evening. The first was from Orianna. It's almost stream of consciousness. Orianna hopped from topic to topic like a frog. She'd been accepted into the bioengineering program at the Lowell City Institute of Technology. Does Miranda have any advice? Her mother loved her new job as a sales agent for Binary Helix. Dad was thinking of getting a dog. The boy who worked at the coffee shop was really cute.

Miranda smiled. Her sister had the normal life she deserved; and, thanks to Shepard, Miranda could share in that life. She had no idea what to tell her about college. She'd never been. Her father had engaged an army of tutors and minders to instruct his heir. She'd lived off the grid after she'd run away until she'd found Cerberus. After, there had been no time to continue her formal education. She's read and talked to experts when she needed to know something for a mission or for her own edification, but that wasn't the same as pulling an all nighter in the company of people her own age.

She didn't know what to say about the boy either. She'd never had a real relationship as a teenager. Her father had seen to that as well. He'd always had her watched and made sure she was never alone. God forbid that she needs some boy and ruin his plans for a genetic dynasty. Sex she understood. She'd used it to manipulate, to relieve stress, to have fun. But the schoolgirl crushes and dinner dates that she sincerely hoped were the limits of her sister's experience with the opposite sex were as foreign to her as rachni. Maybe that was why she kept making a fool of herself in front of Shepard with they were alone. Her inner teenager was taking revenge for decades of neglect.


If you dont mind me asking, is this part of a fanfic you are writing. If so, when will you be done?

Night, Andy!

OT Chuck post: Apparently this was posted at tvguide *spoilers*:

"Any Chuck scoop? — Mary Ann
MICKEY: I have a series of teases: Someone gets fired. Someone has a child. Someone learns Chuck’s secret. Someone (who’s not a spy) will be in serious danger. Bonus tease: This season’s Subway product placement will be less than subtle in the coming weeks. Hope you like banana peppers!



I'm going to guess and say Chuck's sister is the one who's going to have a child. Just a guess. :o

Yeah, or maybe Morgan's mom and Big Mike.


Hmm..it's possible. I'll give it that.

Very nice, jtav, looking forward to the finished product.

Also, what's this I hear about Rath and Meg working on another fic? Where's my stalking jacket and machete... I know I left it around here somewhere. :bandit:

Awesome job, jtav! I love the insight into Miranda's mind. Really interesting stuff. I can't wait to read more!

Haha yeah he and Captain Awesome pwned some thugs. Poor Lester got kicked in the face though. Still Big Mike as a spy would be awesome.

Check the Codex. It has all you need. I think it is something to do with getting exposed to eezo in the womb(for humans). I never really paid attention to that since I always play as a soldier.

Hey guys, on the topic of Chuck, I just discovered something awesome (pun)

If you have a Xbox 360, go on Zune and browse to Chuck Season 3. The episode "Chuck versus Operation Awesome" plays entirely if you select "Watch Preview", instead of playing an excerpt like it's supposed to. I lol'd. Enjoy! :)

@Meg - thanks, I think I have a solid concept for working Miranda into Akuze without making it her fault directly, so we'll see if I can get to writing it.
