Devastation.

Liara steps out of the shuttle, glancing around at the fires, the rubble, the ruins, all of it... Like the entire world just crumbled all at the same time. Admiral Hackett has sincr descended from the Citadel to greet you personally.

"Normally I would have met you on the Citadel, but the life support systems still aren't operational. The keepers have been miracle workers in terms of getting at least some things working.. But it'll be a long time before the citadel sees business again." He begins to walk toward a piece of the Palace that still stands, though it is a small portion.

"We began clean up here in London since it was hit the hardest during the assualt. While we were going through everything, we found aeveral items of interest."

All around you, Alliance Marines, Krogan, Asari, Salarians, Turians, and even a few Drell and Hanar are helping to clean up rubble and set up the dead to each be properly buried.

"What we have, is in here." Instead of a door to lead into the building, it's an impromptu curtain to obstruct view. The band of Friends all walk behind Hacket as he leads them to the center of the complex, slowly opening the door and allowing them to see what is inside.
