Admiral Jess Shepard is in Vancouver with the rest of Alliance Brass to commemorate the end of the Reaper War. The Council is in town, too.

(Rated M for a reason)

Sloan Shepard has had the most confusing 48 hours of her life. A one-shot where Shepard tries to process everything she's learned since she woke on the Cerberus station two days ago. Stand alone. In the same line as The Reason. Hints of Shenko.
