The Normandy's observation deck is a pocket of stillness, its panoramic view of the cosmos a stark contrast to the ship's usual controlled chaos. Tali Zorah stands alone by the railing, the gentle hum of her envirosuit's filtration systems the only sound. Behind the tinted glass of her visor, her bioluminescent eyes catch the distant starlight, glowing with a soft, otherworldly luminescence. She releases a weary, synthesized sigh, her three-fingered gloves tapping a contemplative pattern against the cold metal. In the ship's rare silence, her thoughts drift—between the ever-moving Migrant Fleet and this strange, solid vessel that has begun to feel, against all odds, like a home.
