Rebirth the mass effect book 1.part 14-3

"thanks."

Leaving the Quarian woman with the box in her hands, I returned to the cabin, grabbing a bottle of water from the canteen on the way, and found a beautiful picture: Nihlus, beaming with pleasure, was finishing his rations, thoughtfully looking at Garrus, who was fast asleep and had his head on a crate. There was an unopened box of already warmed-up food on the table next to it.

"How long has he been like this?"

"He passed out almost as soon as you came out." Kraik replied. "It's been a long time since I've seen him like this."

"Nihlus, he hasn't slept in two days."

"Ours?" He clarified.

"It looks like it is. Moreover, when he was engaged in mine clearance of his apartment, he injected two stimulants with an interval of about forty minutes." and I took the injector out of the box on the table and showed it to my mentor.

"Red." stated Nihlus.

"Are the consequences serious?"

"When did you take the last one?"

"About an hour and a half ago."

"The rollback will start in about five hours. Garrus!"

Vakarian shuddered and raised his head with difficulty.

"Eat," Nihlus ordered curtly.

"I..."

"Now!" I added, seeing the doubt in his blue eyes.

"I'm going to cabin."

"Where are you now?" I asked softly.

His brain, slowed down by lack of sleep, stalled on a simple task and Garrus became a little addicted. Apparently, to finish him off, Nihlus added:

"Garrus, either you eat so that we can see it, or I'm going to pull this sensor, and the evil Dr. Chakwas is going to come here and find out that someone has gorged on red-class combat stimulants for a weakened body."

"I didn't get too full."

"Okay, you screwed up." Kraik drawled sarcastically. "Will it help you a lot in talking to the doctor?"

Garrus looked at me blankly, but, not finding understanding, he got into the perspective and silently took the box of food.

"Nihlus, you know what he has to do, right?"

Kraik grinned and nodded.

"Will you follow?"

"I'll make sure. Give me some water."

I handed him a liter bottle and left the cabin. I still have to take the infirmary from the technical team. As soon as they finish, we will immediately fly to the Terum.

With such reversals from reality, the chances of finding Liara's corpse in a power bubble are very high.
