Chapter 18

Female Shepard - Was thinking to herself. When the door chime to her quarters. Come in. It's open. She said.

Walking into was Ashley. Yes Lt. What's wrong or was there something you need to ask me?

Ashley - I umm. Well I want to ask you something. I guess I forgot what it was. Sorry I bothered you Sir.

Shepard - Wait. Was what you wanted to ask me about. Something to do with why Liara is the XO of the Normandy and not you? or is it got to do with the fact that you're in charge of the ships security and not the marine unit's.

Ashley - Turned around. She didn't know what to say to her commanding officer. She was only silent standing there. I guess you knew what I was coming to see you for. I'm just disappointed that you didn't think I be up to the task of doing any of this.

Shepard - Ash. Listen I did think you be more than capable of being up to the task of doing this stuff. I guess I didn't think you be upset or angry. But I see you are. I'm sorry I guess I was ashamed that I didn't ask you. So I just kept you close on the ship. I mean close so no one could board the ship. You do remember reading my reports of the collectors boarding the Normandy and taking the crew. Well I figured if anyone could make sure that this didn't happen again it be you.

Ashley - Wait are you saying that you gave me a impossible task to do and you wanted to see if I could handle it. it that what you are telling me Sir.

Shepard - Yes that's what I'm saying. I thought sense you took security of the the Normandy series. That you be happy to be incharge of the Normandy security detail hear. Thought don't think that you duty of head of security doesn't involve protection of .y wife Liara. Is that clear Lt.

Ashley - Oh is that what you think I would not take series. I make sure that you regret those words Mama. But why do I have to make security protection of liara to.

Shepard - Because if you do a got job. Then that promotion you always have wanted might be yours soon. She just smiled evil at Ash.

Ashley - Oh I see this is a huge test hear. Why didn't you just say this?

Shepard - Ash, come on. Do you think it be any fun if I didn't tease my favorite LT. on the ship. A commander got to have some kind of fun now and while.

Ashley - Shepard. I should of known that you have to be able to get some fun out of this. But I'll get you back. So I got a question Shepard. what do you play on doing to the ship. I have seen some of the new up grade's. Salis armor, Thanis cannons, Shields are different. We're you get this technology from.

Shepard - Oh all my old crew from the Normandy SR2 hear. It helped me and my crew survived the mission through the Omega 4 relay.

But I play on still upgrading. I figured I take technology from Asari, turains, Salarian's, geth and Quarions hear. and if they don't like it. to bad.
