Fall Equinox Contest Announcement!!
This contest is open to everyone--visual and literary artists alike. We will have two themes for you to chose from. We’d like to see your take on how the Mass Effect universe, especially our beloved members of the SSV Normandy, celebrate All Hallows Eve.
I’m sure your minds are already churning with ideas, but before you put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) we need to sort out the details. As I said earlier, there are two themes to chose from which are:
1. A cultural exchange of ideas and traditions regarding the seasonal change celebration for the species represented in the Mass Effect universe, OR
2. A Halloween ma

Beta'd by the wonderfully awesome Greenmamaba5. Thanks Bri!
Although against the grain of my nature, I have included some game dialogue because well...you can't improve upon perfection. Taking it out or changing it seems somehow wrong. So, I left it in but added a twist... or two. K read please.
Chapter 22: Deviation
Mordin stopped moving, a remarkable reaction considering the salarian barely stopped for anything including the basics of living. Slowly, his head rose from its customary perch atop his microscope. He scrutinized the turian leaning against his counter. In a split second he analyzed the situation and determined the consequences

Chapter 21: LETTER
Sera walked through the airlock and glanced at Joker who had his head resting heavily in his hand, looking as miserable as ever. EDI was sitting calmly in the co-pilot’s seat, methodically analyzing the ship’s systems. It was apparent he hadn’t noticed her arrival and an irresistibly mischievous thought curled her lips into a sly grin.

CHAPTER 20: CROSSROADS
Garrus and Solana watched as the trio exited the restaurant and paused just beyond the entry to exchange a few words. Once they had finished talking, Sera walked toward the shops while her mother and Anderson headed toward the Embassies. This was Garrus' chance to have a conversation with Anderson and he wasn’t going to let it go to waste. Solana knew the look on her brother’s face too well: his eyes pinpointed in thought, mandibles tight against his jaw and his subvocals humming the thoughts in his head. She sighed and sat back in her chair. The look in his eyes said it all and she simply nodded as he got

A/N: This chapter's rather long by my general standards so I hope that makes up for the long wait. I've subscribed to theory presented by Greenmamba5 that turians have a subharmonic range used for a secondary communication which is denoted in italics in their conversation.
CHAPTER 19: BREAKFAST
Garrus let out a low growl of frustration as his hand slid down and away from the door. He turned to call the elevator and as the doors slid open he mentally went over what he planned for the day: breakfast with Solana, talk to Chakwas and maybe, if he was lucky, he could nail a few minutes with Anderson. He stepped off the elevator and turned toward
