[desequilibre]

FROM: athos@cdc.org

I have been home for several months. It was like none of this had ever happened.

FROM: athos@cdc.org

Are you sure? Just yesterday?

[forgivetheinsubordination]

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

Know for absolute certain it hasn't been months. Last time we ran into each other was four CDC days ago. Don't know how months works.

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

You made it to the second Macha camp, yeah? Thought it was you I'd seen.

[desequilibre]

FROM: athos@cdc.org

I did. The beach is familiar.

FROM: athos@cdc.org

I was in Paris for eight months. I was home. I remembered none of this.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

[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.]

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

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

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

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

[desequilibre]

[ If Athos knew any of Garrus' feelings on this conversation he would try to ease his fears. But unfortunately his own thoughts are in turmoil. He was home and then he was not. And d'Artagnan was not saved the CDC despite his offer. So they brought them both back for a reason. ]

FROM: athos@cdc.org

I do not know how they managed it. Neither d'Artagnan nor I remembered anything at all.

FROM: athos@cdc.org

I do not know. Probably not. I don't appreciate being a puppet to higher powers.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

I don't like that they could just make you forget. It doesn't make any sense.

[How would they manage it? Why? It isn't like the Musketeers could go warn people about the CDC. Nobody from their world, from what Garrus understands, would buy aliens and other planets.]

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

Don't blame you for not appreciating being a puppet, either. Definitely not liking that. Have you asked Armada about it yet?

[desequilibre]

FROM: athos@cdc.org

I have not. But I am not convinced he would give me an honest answer.

FROM: athos@cdc.org

Do you believe it would help?

[forgivetheinsubordination]

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

He might not give you an answer. But he wouldn't lie. At least you'll have tried.

[desequilibre]

FROM: athos@cdc.org

Then I shall. I confess even knowing who instigated it would put my mind somewhat at ease.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

Here's hoping he has an answer for you that isn't "someone pushed the wrong button somewhere."

[desequilibre]

FROM: athos@cdc.org

Unfortunately I doubt it will be much different than that.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

Still worth a shot. And Athos? Welcome back. Glad you remember again.

[desequilibre]

FROM: athos@cdc.org

I'm glad to remember you again, friend.

FROM: athos@cdc.org

We'll speak soon. Hopefully I'll have answers then.
