Don't pull your self short. I think you have done a real good job hee.

Eek! I can't find a blushing smiley!

But thank you!

This is a good blushing smiley ^^ Your welcome

[Sialater]

Raphael: That was beautiful, thank you. Loved Tali's, too. Are you going to do one for all six? Liara, Ashley, Garrus and Wrex, too? (Eventually.)

So.... A while back.. I wrote one of these for Tali. Inspired, tonight, I came up with one for Kaiden. I hope .. Well, like the Tali one.. I hope I have done him justice - And I hope that it meets with approval in this thread.

Basically. it's a letter - A letter written by whichever Normandy crew member (in this case, of course, Kaiden), sometime after the destruction of the Normandy, but before the galaxy as a whole knows that Shepard's back and breathing.

Shepard.

We didn't have much time together, you and I. We didn't have much time to talk, or to really .. There were so many other things I wanted to say. So many things I wanted to talk with you about. But.. well, I don't know. Sometimes it's not easy to find the words. We were always busy. That's life in the Alliance, I suppose. Always busy, always working, always off fighting something somewhere for someone else. A soldier's life.

That's the way you lived and the way you died. You died, and I didn't. Twice over, now. Do you remember, Shepard. After Virmire? Do you remember when we talked about Ash? I couldn't believe you'd chosen to save me. I .. Even now, I have to believe that it wasn't because you loved me, that it .. was for a more tactical reason. A more sound reason. A more real reason.

But maybe there is no more real reason than love? If not for love then why are we doing this.. Why fight at all? You saved me on Virmire, and you saved me in the Normandy, Shepard. I owe you my life, twice over. We all do. Did. You made me get in that pod. It was an order. I heard it in your voice. And even with the helmet on, I could tell. You had a way of holding yourself, Shepard. It brooked no argument. I got in the pod, you went back for Joker, and .. you never came back to me.

We were in lockdown for weeks after the attack, you know. Debriefing after debriefing. Over and over again. I couldn't tell them anymore than I'd told them the first time. Somehow I knew. I knew, Shepard. When the Normandy blew, I knew that I'd never see you again. You were so vital, so alive, so.. real. The galaxy is a darker place without you, and somehow, when you hit that quick-release button on Joker's pod, somehow I knew you weren't inside it.

Santiago was in the seat next to me. You remember her, right? Maintenance tech. When the Normandy blew, we were both looking out of the porthole and then we looked at each other and there was.. this flash of understanding between us. Everyone else said that they'd find you. That you'd find a way. You were Commander Shepard, hero of the Citadel, the first human Spectre. You'd accomplished so many impossible things that this was.. just another speed bump in your life.

But I knew. I knew it was over. That you were gone, and this time.. You had no backup, no escape route, no plan B.

It's been six months now. I can finally sleep without seeing the Normandy going up in fire and pain.

But I still can't close my eyes without seeing your face, Shepard. The way you smiled, the way you laughed. The way your eyes flashed when you were giving an order. I love you as much now as I did then.

I just wish you could be here for me to tell you.

I hope the Kaiden fans in this thread like it.

That was just !  I wish Kaidan's e-mail after Horizon had been a little more like this.  Thank you :happy:

That's the intention. Hoping to capture the essence of what makes that character unique, as well as the essence of that character's relationship with Shepard in each one (which is sort of why I can't just force 'em out one after the other) .. 

For Ashley, Kaiden (obviously) and Liara, it will be to a Shep that romanced that character; I probably won't bother (for example) doing a letter from a non-romanced Ashley. Ash's letter will be like Kaiden's, a post-romance letter. It'll probably be fairly angry too, ("Damn you for dying on me, Shepard!" etc) Ash being who she is, hehe.

Tali's was the way it was because it's revealed (whether that's fanservice or not, I neither know nor care) that she had feelings for him in ME1.

Garrus, on the other hand, event though he's an L1 in ME2, won't have anywhere near the same tone (I hope), especially since even if you do romance him in ME2, he confesses to not even really having thought about it before FemShep brings it up, so we can be fairly sure that he isn't pining away in the best Tali-esque fashion.

I may even do a Joker one, too. That might be interesting to write

Garrus would probably more mentor/mentee with a slight crush. 

Don't forget Chakwas!

The question is...... Can you hear it in Raphael Sbarge's voice?

Oooh, yes. Chakwas. That's right. Just make more work for me! omg!

Wrex is one warrior to another, of course. Saluting Shep's finest hour and glorious end.

No Medigel Fort, I'd say stay away from my man too her.

Yeah, the Garrus fans love to talk about how sexy Garrus' voice is, but I'll take Kaidan's over his any day of the week.

LOL. I'll take your word for it. As a guy, I can't say that his voice does anything for me in that respect, but I do think he has an awesome voice, second only in the ME universe to Lance H's Admiral Hackett.

There was a poll, wasn't there?  I almost voted for Thane, but they had to digitally remaster Keythe Farley's voice, while Raph's simply just is that way naturally  The vote should be simple.  Raph va, ftw!

I like Garrus voice as well, but it, too is digitally altered, so doesn't count! 

It's actually not that altered.  I've heard the actor's voice plain.   It's up there.

There's a thread kicking around here somewhere from rigaudio about duplicating the vocal FX used for the different races. Turians aren't -that- fudged. Add the lower pitch, with a touch of compression and then he said there was something else that kinda tied the voices together that he hadn't fully figured out yet - but I could be wrong, it was a while ago that I read that thread

(read: this morning, lol)

It's okay. You're allowed to like both. I have a soft spot for Tali, mostly due to Liz Sroka's amazing voice work, but that doesn't mean I don't like the other female LIs, Jack especially. Courtney Taylor does a great job of mixing up Jack's badgirl angry voice with her confused and uncertain voice.

Garrus' voice?  If you are talking about Thane's, the actor says so on his facebook that some tweaking was involved, but I haven't heard his natural voice.

Either way, Kaidan's voice, ftw!

Brandon Keener was Garrus' VA.  Not too different IRL.
