Shepard's shoulder hurt. Really hurt. Taking a bullet never felt good but this one hurt because of her pride. The next thing she noticed was the harsh white light in her face and rope securing her to a chair. She could see a man, but all she could tell was that it was a man. He was in shadows - save the faint red glow of a cigarette.
Of course the Illusive Man wouldn't let her see his face.
But she knew his face. She saw it in her dreams. The most disconcerting thing was the blue glow in his eyes.
The man leaned forward, studying the woman in the harsh light. Commander Shepard. Bastion of their hopes and dreams. Betrayer and woman of limited imagination.
"Do you know who you are, Shepard? Have you see the things that I have seen? Do you know what's coming?"
Shepard smirked, "I know enough to know how this is going to go. You're going to try to convince me your methods are right. I'll tell you where you can shove your methods. You'll threaten me. I'll laugh in your face." She laughed, "There, we skipped all that. You don't know who you're messing with."
"Anyone you think can help you I already own," the Illusive man replied, without trace of anger. "Shepard, this goes beyond our petty differences. These visions tell of things both wonderous and terrible. I've seen your death. And your resurrection. You are the shieldwall against the Reapers, but you won't be able to do it alone. They will come, and the only righteous will survive."
"You're right. I can't do it alone. But I already know people who I want at my side. And with them I can save the world."
Garrus, Wrex. Tali and Liara, Jack. There were others, she still needed to contact them. Lawson, Mordin. And then there were the people like Pryde, and Raynor. She knew she could count on them.
The Illusive Man smiled, and flipped open a file, "Liara T'soni. Jack. Katherine Pryde. Daenerys Targaryen. Urdnot Ranch. Aveline Vallen. Scott Summers. Everyone you know. Everyone you've touched. Everyone you've ever had a conversation with. Shall I go on?"
Tyra grew very, very still, a cold feeling settling in her stomach, "You so much as get anywhere near any of them..."
"And you'll do what, Shepard? Or have you forgotten who's tied to a chair here?"Renegade Prompt. Shepard suddenly charged forward, the rope cut. She gripped a penknife as she lunged at the man, but something hit her in the back and then an electric charge ripped through her body.
She went down, and the Illusive Man stepped around her body, "Ensure our other locations are properly vacated and our funds transferred overseas. Prepare the room for vas Normandy. And this time search more thoroughly. I have preparations to make."
