You didn't, I don't think. What did he do with Gliese?
[Probably something with no self-preservation thought at all. All Garrus can hope is that it's glown over, that Gliese isn't angry. He's already trying to help one kid who is in trouble with an instructor. He doesn't need a second.]
[It takes him a minute to deal with the map because he's sort of doing all of this while running to get to the head of the group. Then figure out where he is in comparison.]

We aren't that far from you. Maybe half an hour.

It seems to be made up of gerol, haisuna, hydrocus and kyrie and heading straight for camp. I'm fine.
[It wasn't Shala'Raan. Aunt Raan wouldn't do that to her. And it was ugly little jolt in her stomach to realise that she hadn't questioned it at all. That the geth were more important than her. Than any of them.
But she has Shala'Raan. And she has the Normandy.
And there are people here she has, in a way, as well. Though she can't help feeling like she lives two different lives now; one back on the Migrant Fleet that seems to have fractured, and the one here. The one here that she's not sure where she fits into. And she has...
She gives a sudden, slightly wet hiccough of laughter.] Von? Did I teach you that word?
[ It's been months for him. Months and months of so much happening. He doesn't know how long it has been since he was Macha but he feels the need to check in on his friend. The fact that he even had a friend that he could forget still confuses him. ]
Spear, no idea. Bow, Erin. She knew the crossbow, at least. Look for people used to low tech.

And if we can make some spears, we can get people learning them. Nobody's gonna be experts, but the basics are pretty straight-forward. Strength training is the key since they'll be heavy.
[There will be a next time, if Garrus has any say in it. He likes Samus and doesn't want her to feel isolated. Especially considering the team she's on. But that thought drifts away as he falls asleep and with a distant hope that Isha doesn't wind up coming to the rover early.]
[Athos remembering none of this is a horrifying thought. What if they finish out their contracts and Shepard can't use the knowledge Garrus had to change her universe for the better? Or Mordin? What if what he's doing helps only his single solitary universe?
What if he goes home somehow and forgets all of his friends, his young, and Noh-Varr? And that he can be forgotten completely stings a little. It's not Athos' fault. But Garrus isn't comfortable with that even though he's already dealt with being forgotten with a few people.]

There's always been time issues between here and home. But nothing at all?

Guess the important thing is that you're back. You ok?
