No One's POV:

Shepard: Are you sure it is a good idea?

Shepard was in the vid com room talk with Admiral Hackett. The leader of Alliance forces had ordered the Normandy to offically dry dock back in the Citadel.

Hackett: I am certain Commander. We need the Normandy in the best fighting conditions its ever been in if we want even the slightest chance of winning this war.

Shepard slightly shakes her head. During her time away from the Normandy. Alliance Brass had complete ripped out the modifications that she had put in place during their time with Cerberus. " Too flashy" or " Not within Alliance Standard" was the main run around she got.

Shepard: It would be nice to give the old girl some new paint. Plus Joker would be a very happy man.

Hackett: He will be when these get added.

Hackett brings up holo designs. The Admiral had paid no expense to make sure that the head ship of the Alliance fleet. The ship was going to upgrade from standard Torpedoes to to Aires Incinerator Torpedoes. These prototype weapon can cut through enemy ships shields and unleash a devastating barrage of a high magnesium concentrate to bur through hulls.

Standard shields were getting upgrade with hard-light shields. Theses shields were heavier and stronger than the standard mass effect fields. She was also getting back the Titanium laced armor placed for extra protection, meaning that the Normandy could take more hits and keep on fighting.

Then the mother of all was getting added right below the cockpit.

Joker was now getting the brand new Damocles Cannon. This powerful cannon fires a highly concentrated beam of light that can cut through any ship.

Hackett: Were still working out the kinks but were hoping this cannon can really knock out the Reapers.

Shepard: Let's hope so...

Hackett deactivates the holo and looks back towards the Commander.

Hackett: This isn't the only reason why I'm sending you a shore Commander... I know you've been through a lot these last couple of months.

Shepard: Sir, please I'm more than okay.

Hackett: The hell you are. Anderson has filled me in bit by bit. And I also have been getting reports from Yn... You've lost a few members of your crew Commander.

Shepard sighs and looks down towards the railing... Mordin... Thane.... Legion... All struck down in the fires of war...

Shepard: I understand Admiral but there is a war going on. I need to be out there fighting.

Hackett: To be a true warrior once must have a sharp mind and body. And right now you are only running on one. I know what's at stake here Commander but you need to step back and take a breather. We will hold the line until you return. Plus until EDI and Specialist Miranda crack the codes to find the Illusive Man. There is not much you can do.

Hackett folds his hands behind his back.

Hackett: I'm not asking Commander... Your team has well deserved some time off. Enjoy it while you have it... Who knows how much time we got left.
