Post-Mass Effect 3 - Destroy Ending, Paragon, Spacer, Soldier, Liara romance. Based on experiences of Commander Jess Shepard, Alliance Soldier and Human Spectre. Jess Shepard was certain the end to the Reapers would be the end to her as well. When she finds herself alive instead she struggles to pick up the pieces and find her way again.
Tali paced up and down her room, it had been a week since the events aboard the Dark Energy Dreadnought, a week since Shepard had rescued her. But soon it would be time for her to face up to what she had done while under Cerberus control and face trial, that was going to be at some point today.
She walked over to her bed and sat on the edge, she was being held at Alliance HQ in a secure VIP room that she was restricted too. Armed guards were posted at her door 24/7 and she hadn’t been allowed visitors, not even Shepard who she hadn’t seen since they got to Earth, but sometimes depending on who was on guard duty he would talk to her through the door.
Tali looked up at her door as she heard it unlock, it opened and in stepped two guards along with Commander Bailey.
’Tali’Zorah. It’s good to see you again, I wish it could be under better circumstances’ He said to Tali.
Thank you for replying, i have been reading the link you gave me, at the aftermath section ( and yes i have the extended cut ) ’If EMS is 3100+ and the Destroy option is chosen, Shepard is seen barely alive, gasping for breath (if Anderson is shot by the Illusive Man, the player needs a higher EMS to see this short scene’. Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
’Bailey? It’s good to see you too. What are you doing here?’ Tali asked.
’Well. with the Citadel under major reconstruction, C-Sec and the Council deal with most of their business here at Alliance HQ, it’s not ideal, but it has to do.. And atleast I get to see Earth abit more, along with my family.’
’They survived the Reapers invasion then?’
’Yep, they were found not long after Earth was taken back, they had taken shelter at a resistance’s bunker.’
’Thats great news, I’m happy for you.’
’Thank you Tali. And I’m sorry I have to do this. But I have to escort you to stand trial before the Council now.’ He said, she could see in his face that he regretted having to do this.
’I understand.’ She got up off the bed and headed over towards Bailey and the guards. They placed binds around her wrists and then escorted her from the room.
Lumion 8 crack only. . . . . .
Shepard walked around the courtroom anxiously, it was similar to the courtroom Shepard had started to stand trial in just before the Reapers first attacked Earth. He was here as Tali’s advocate and commanding officer, this would be the second time he stood by Talis side in a trial, defending her. Hopefully they would get a similar result, but Tali was going up against the councilors, on the worst charges someone could be faced with. He didn’t like to think it, but he knew this was going to be bad.
He looked up at the head of the room, the four councilors were talking amongst each other. There was, Councilor Tevos for the Asaris, Councilor Valern for the Salarians, Councilor Sparatus for the Turians and Councilor Dominic Osoba who had been given the permanent position as the Human representative on the council. Also in the room was a dozen heavily armed guards, Jondum Bau, Admiral Price and the rest of Shepards team. Apart from the guards, everyone was here to give Shepard and Tali support.
Shepard turned around as the doors to the courtroom opened, Tali was being escorted in by two guards and Commander Bailey, they led her to the center stand and released her binds. Shepard headed to the stand in the middle of the courtoom to where Tali was taken and took his place next to her, he gave her a little smile but she just looked down at the floor. Shepard wished he could give her a hug.
The councilors took their places at the head of the room and looked down at Tali and Shepard.
’Before we begin these court proceedings.’ Tevos said. ’One of the charges requires a fifth additional judge, unfortunately they could not be here in person so a holo image of them will take their place and they’ll be talking through it.’
Councilor Valern used his omni-tool and next to him a life size holo of a Quarian appeared. ’Greetings Admiral Shala’Raan vas Rannoch of the Quarian admiralty board.’
Talis head shot up and looked at Raan. ’Auntie?’ She said in shock, looking up at Raan.
’Thank you councilors, I apologise for my absence from this matter.’ Raan said to the councilors then looked down at Tali. ’Tali’Zorah vas Normandy, I am here due to the charges against you, one of them being the murder of a Quarian admiral. Usually by Quarian law, I wouldn’t be allowed to take part in these proceedings, but seeing as most of the charges fall under council law. The councilors have kindly enough allowed be to stand judge for the admiralty board.’
Tali nodded slowly, she didn’t know what to say, she was so happy to see her auntie yet at the same time felt so ashamed, she could feel her eyes start to water.
’Ok, let us begin.’ Tevos said.
’Tali’Zorah, you stand trial for the charges that have been put against you, these are numerous and include, high treason, mass murder, aiding in the destruction of a system and the murder of high ranking officials. These are amongst the highest charges against you and some of the worst crimes that can be committed, each one carrys the death penalty’ Sparatus stated.
’How do you plead?’ Valern asked.
Tali looked at Shepard and paused for a second, she thought it was pointless to fight this and that she should just accept her fate. But the look in Shepards face, in his eyes, gave her the will to fight on. ’Not. guilty.’ Tali spoke up with uncertainty.
’These proceedings are pointless and insulting.’ Shepard spoke up to defend Tali. ’You all have been provided with data, hard evidence that shows that Tali wasn’t acting of her own free will. But of Harbingers and The Illusive Mans.’
’We can’t ignore the evidence that has been put to us, but we also can’t ignore the severity of the cimes. Had the crimes been lesser, we would of happily accepted the facts and given Tali’Zorah a pardon.’ Tevos said
’Yet the nature of the crimes and the severity demands some form of punishment regardless.’ Sparatus said coldly.
’You have to understand and see it from our point of view. We’ve never had to prosecute an indoctrinated person before. This case is one of a kind.’ Valern added.
’While I do disapprove wholeheartedly of using you as a scapegoat Tali. People can’t be seen to walk away from such actions unpunished.’ Raan added softly, she avoided Talis gaze.
’If word got out the political backlash would be huge.’ Osoba added.
Tali stayed quiet, she knew it. This was hopeless, even Raan was forced into having to agree to that. Shepard could sense that Tali felt that this had gotten hopeless, he forced himself to think on his feet for a way to save her from this.
’So what, shes just another one of your political tools to protect your image? Your not worried about her, if she had done any of this or not. Your worried that people may learn that the Dreadnought was the councils design!’ Shepard spat out at them. ’And if thats the case, why not just say! I’d give you my word that we’ll all take that secret to our graves.’

’I. would.’ Tali managed to get out, words got stuck in her throat. She felt so helpless.
’Which can be done here today, sooner rather then later. Less chance for her to go back on her word.’ Osoba said coldly.
Shepard shot him a dark look, the other councilors looked at him. ’Osoba!’ Raan said in a shocked tone.
’Oh right, so to protect yourself you’ll be willing to send two innocent lives to their death and ontop of that, commit genocide?’ Shepard shouted at them furiously. Councilor Osoba was taken back by this.
’Genocide? What the hell are you talking about Shepard?’ Osoba asked.
’The child that Tali’Zorah is carrying, councilor. An innocent life caught in the middle of this, and is technically a new race of it’s own. Killing Tali would result in the death of that child, we’d guilty of a crime just as great.’ Raan said at Osoba harshly. Tevos and Sparatus nodded in agreement.

’That child is nothing more then an abomination, a mistake. It dosn’t deserve the same rights are other species.’ Osoba threw back at Raan.
Shepard swore, but it was Tali who swore louder. ’That’s my child your talking about! You ignorant xenophobic bosh’tet!’ Tali said shouting up at him.
’Keep your racist views to yourself Councilor Osoba, we are not here to discuss what defines a new species.’ Valern added.
’I agree with Admiral Raan, in this case despite of everything. The death penalty is out of the question. This leaves only 3 options, Incarceration for the rest of your life, exile or a life of servitude to the council.’ Tevos stated.
’Exile would be similar to if the admiralty board had issued that sentence.’ Raan began to say. ’You’d be restricted to the systems in the outer rim of the galaxy, never to return. Should you, then the council would have to no choice but to execute you.. however the council feels that given what you’ve done, they can’t allow you to wander about unchecked. They would rather keep you close so they can keep an eye on you, just incase..’
’The obvious solution would be incarceration. That would allow us to always keep an eye on you, you would be shipped off to a secret maximum security facility where you would spend the rest of you days.’ Sparatus said.
’But. we feel that would put to waste your extraordinary skills and abilities. And it is clear from your actions you wish to repent for you crimes, despite them not being your own, and you had already started to do that. We can’t deny the fact that without your help, we would not of taken down the Dreadnought. The galaxy could well be in a different state had you not taken action.’ Valern picked up where Sparatus left of.
’Given the facts and the uniqueness of this case, the council had largely decided that the best course of action in this matter would be a life of servitude to the council.’ Tevos looked at the other councilors and Raan, they all nodded back to her except Osoba. Who stood defeated. ’Tali’Zorah, in light of everything and as an alternative to incarceration. We would like to offer you the opportunity to become the first Quarian Spectre.’
Shepard stood gobsmacked, him and Tali both exchanged looks of amazement. ’I. really? Thats.. really?’ Tali said in shock.
’This arrangement should you accept it, will suit both parties. But we have to be clear on this, this is not a get out of jail free card. The council will keep a close eye on you, every moment of every day, you’ll be expected to follow instructions down to the letter. During which, you gain the chance to atone for the crimes committed.’ Tevos replied.
’The Quarian admiralty board would also find this an acceptable course of action.’ Raan added.
’What do you say Tali’Zorah?’ Sparatus asked.
’I.ofcourse. I’d be honored to serve..’ Tali said as tears rolled down her face under her mask.
’Then its decided. We ofcourse don’t expect you carry out your duties right away, not in your condition. You’ll be on maternity leave for awhile and during this period you’ll be in the custody of Spectre Shepard.’ Valern said looking at Shepard.
’I accept custody of Tali’Zorah.’ He replied.
’Then we are done here. When your maternity leave is over, you’ll return to full duties as a Spectre of the council and servant to the people. This court is adjourned.’ Tevos said as the councilors left their spots.
’Tali, I’ll see you when you return home’ Raan added to her warmly.
’Thank you auntie.’ Tali said as Raans image disappeared. Tali couldn’t help but to sob tears of joy, she threw her arms around Shepard and he held her close and didn’t say a word, but instead kissed the top of her visor and gave her a warm smile. ’This is it. its finally over. Me and Shepard. can finally settle down and spend our lifes together..’ She thought to herself. All her friends ran over to her, Garrus, Liara, Ashley, even EDI and Joker. They all shared in the happy news.
In the corner while Tali, Shepard and their friends celebrated the happy news, Tevos approached Spectre Jondum Bau.
’A good result.’ Jondum said quietly.
’Yes. It’s a shame she had to be put through that.’ Tevos said to him. ’What were your findings?’
Jondum bit his lip for a second. ’The Dark Energy shockwave that the Dreadnought sent out when it exploded, is still going. Passing through systems fast.’
’Any incidents?’
’None, as of yet.’ He replied as he looked over at Tali.

Epilogue: 6 Months Later
The months after the Dark Energy Dreadnought incident brought nothing but peace to the galaxy, for the first time in living memory. All life coexisted peacefully, old enemies became best friends, helping each other rebuild their worlds, their way of life. Shepard and Talis friends had moved on, but all kept in contact.
Ashley had been promoted to Commander and served the council as a senior Spectre, she visited Shepard and Tali now and then when her duties took her past their way and looked after her little sister Sarah. She currently was working closely with Fleet Admiral Price on an Alliance project to improve human relations with the batarians.
After the battle with the Dreadnought, Joker was awarded the ’Alliance Silver Ace Star’ for his actions, the highest honor a pilot could receive. The last Shepard heard, he was on leave on Earth, staying at his new home where he lived with his sister Hilary and EDI. Joker and EDI were currently petitioning for the right for an organic and a synthetic to be joined in matrimony.
Garrus stayed with Tali and Shepard for a little while before having to return to Palaven to carry out his duties as Primarch. He sent Shepard daily messages, praying for another Reaper invasion. Liara had joined Garrus on Palavan where she took the unofficial position of his advisor while she kept up her shadow broker duties. While working together they had become close, and the second to last message Shepard had got was that Garrus and Liara would be parents soon. The last message came shortly after that, with Garrus begging for a Reaper invasion.
Shepard finished reading the message from his terminal, he laughed softly to himself. He was sitting in his room out of his armour with just his top and pants on. He heard the sound of Tali walking up behind him, she put her arms around his chest.
’Hey.’ Tali said warmly.
Shepard took one of her hands from his chest and kissed it softly, looking at the small silver ring on her finger. ’Hello, my beautiful fiancee.’ Tali giggled softly, Shepard stood up and looked at her, she didn’t have her mask on so he moved close and kissed her softly on the lips. ’Did you get the little one to sleep?’
’I told him a story that my mother used to tell me, sent him straight to sleep.’ She replied with a smile, Shepard put his arm around Tali’s waist and they headed into the hallway where Shepard then stepped on something small with his bare foot. He let out a small yelp in surprise. ’Shepard! You’ll wake Rael!’ Tali hissed quietly, the sound of a child crying came shortly after. ’You are a bosh’tet at times.’ She said to Shepard.
’Sorry. didn’t see it.’ He said quietly.
’Hmmm.’ Tali kissed him on the cheek. ’Its ok my love, come. You can help send him back to sleep.’ She quietly led him into the next room where Rael had been sleeping, he was in his cot lightly crying. Tali reached in gently and picked him up, holding her against him, she cradled him softly. ’Shhhh Rael, it’s ok, mummy and daddy are here.’
Shepard came on over to them, seeing Tali hold their child was so heart warming. He put his arm around Tali and looked down at Rael. He was like his mother and almost Quarian every way, he shared her eyes, skin tone and markings. But he did have a few Human features, he had the same number of fingers and toes like a Human, and also had Human like ears. To Tali and Shepard, he was perfect, their little Quman. Shepard moved his hand gently over Raels head. ’Hey little one.’ Rael started to cry a little louder, Shepard gave a little frown and Tali giggled.
’You’ll get the hang of it soon.’ Tali teased.
’And I thought Reapers were hard work..’ He sighed.
Tali smiled at him then looked down at Rael and started to sing softly to him, cradling him some more as she sang untill Rael let out a small yawn and started to doze back off. Tali smiled. ’Sleep well, Rael’Zorah nar Rannoch.’ She placed him slowly back down into his cot then gave him a kiss on the head, then gave Shepard a soft kiss and led him slowly out of the room, closing the door quietly behind him. The room was dark, Rael let out another small yawn and he stretched his little body. His eyes closed for a few seconds, and then when they reopened, the room lit up blue slightly.
Tali led Shepard outside their house, they were currently living in a prefab house and the sun had almost finished setting. Tali looked over towards the cliff at the half finished house made of Quarian limestone that Shepard now spent most his time working on. ’Its coming along well my love.’ She said.
’I’ll be glad when it’s done.. I’ve lost count the number of times I’ve banged my fingers with hammers.’ Shepard put his arm around Talis waist as they looked up at the sunset for a few moments.
’Shepard?’
’Yes my dear?’
’Do you. think the peace will last?’ She said as she watched the stars start to appear in the sky.
Shepard thought about it for a moment. ’Nothing lasts forever. but whatever comes next, we’ll face it together.’ He looked down at Tali who was now looking at

The months after the Dark Energy Dreadnought incident brought nothing but peace to the galaxy, for the first time in living memory. All life coexisted peacefully, old enemies became best friends, helping each other rebuild their worlds, their way of life. Shepard and Talis friends had moved on, but all kept in contact.
Ashley had been promoted to Commander and served the council as a senior Spectre, she visited Shepard and Tali now and then when her duties took her past their way and looked after her little sister Sarah. She currently was working closely with Fleet Admiral Price on an Alliance project to improve human relations with the batarians.
After the battle with the Dreadnought, Joker was awarded the ’Alliance Silver Ace Star’ for his actions, the highest honor a pilot could receive. The last Shepard heard, he was on leave on Earth, staying at his new home where he lived with his sister Hilary and EDI. Joker and EDI were currently petitioning for the right for an organic and a synthetic to be joined in matrimony.
Garrus stayed with Tali and Shepard for a little while before having to return to Palaven to carry out his duties as Primarch. He sent Shepard daily messages, praying for another Reaper invasion. Liara had joined Garrus on Palavan where she took the unofficial position of his advisor while she kept up her shadow broker duties. While working together they had become close, and the second to last message Shepard had got was that Garrus and Liara would be parents soon. The last message came shortly after that, with Garrus begging for a Reaper invasion.
Shepard finished reading the message from his terminal, he laughed softly to himself. He was sitting in his room out of his armour with just his top and pants on. He heard the sound of Tali walking up behind him, she put her arms around his chest.
’Hey.’ Tali said warmly.
Shepard took one of her hands from his chest and kissed it softly, looking at the small silver ring on her finger. ’Hello, my beautiful fiancee.’ Tali giggled softly, Shepard stood up and looked at her, she didn’t have her mask on so he moved close and kissed her softly on the lips. ’Did you get the little one to sleep?’
’I told him a story that my mother used to tell me, sent him straight to sleep.’ She replied with a smile, Shepard put his arm around Tali’s waist and they headed into the hallway where Shepard then stepped on something small with his bare foot. He let out a small yelp in surprise. ’Shepard! You’ll wake Rael!’ Tali hissed quietly, the sound of a child crying came shortly after. ’You are a bosh’tet at times.’ She said to Shepard.
’Sorry. didn’t see it.’ He said quietly.
’Hmmm.’ Tali kissed him on the cheek. ’Its ok my love, come. You can help send him back to sleep.’ She quietly led him into the next room where Rael had been sleeping, he was in his cot lightly crying. Tali reached in gently and picked him up, holding her against him, she cradled him softly. ’Shhhh Rael, it’s ok, mummy and daddy are here.’
Shepard came on over to them, seeing Tali hold their child was so heart warming. He put his arm around Tali and looked down at Rael. He was like his mother and almost Quarian every way, he shared her eyes, skin tone and markings. But he did have a few Human features, he had the same number of fingers and toes like a Human, and also had Human like ears. To Tali and Shepard, he was perfect, their little Quman. Shepard moved his hand gently over Raels head. ’Hey little one.’ Rael started to cry a little louder, Shepard gave a little frown and Tali giggled.
’You’ll get the hang of it soon.’ Tali teased.
’And I thought Reapers were hard work..’ He sighed.
Tali smiled at him then looked down at Rael and started to sing softly to him, cradling him some more as she sang untill Rael let out a small yawn and started to doze back off. Tali smiled. ’Sleep well, Rael’Zorah nar Rannoch.’ She placed him slowly back down into his cot then gave him a kiss on the head, then gave Shepard a soft kiss and led him slowly out of the room, closing the door quietly behind him. The room was dark, Rael let out another small yawn and he stretched his little body. His eyes closed for a few seconds, and then when they reopened, the room lit up blue slightly.
Tali led Shepard outside their house, they were currently living in a prefab house and the sun had almost finished setting. Tali looked over towards the cliff at the half finished house made of Quarian limestone that Shepard now spent most his time working on. ’Its coming along well my love.’ She said.
’I’ll be glad when it’s done.. I’ve lost count the number of times I’ve banged my fingers with hammers.’ Shepard put his arm around Talis waist as they looked up at the sunset for a few moments.
’Shepard?’
’Yes my dear?’
’Do you. think the peace will last?’ She said as she watched the stars start to appear in the sky.
Shepard thought about it for a moment. ’Nothing lasts forever. but whatever comes next, we’ll face it together.’ He looked down at Tali who was now looking at
