16th Transmission: Farewell to the Crew of the Normandy. [Voice/Action]

[thefinaljedi]

[It hadn't been hard to notice that Commander Shepard had returned home. Artoo had rolled into his room, her pistol carried in his outstretched claw, whistling and beeping. Luke shook his head and went to check it out, unsurprised to find Alia's spartan room completely devoid of anything. It was pretty thorough, and Luke guessed that the gun had been meant as a keepsake.

Which led him to go knocking on the door of the basement lab to see if Mordin was around. He hadn't seen the Salarian in a while, either. Oddly, it was unlocked, an unusual occurrence all on it's own. He headed down into it, and found everything neat and tidy, save for the Salarian's personal effects. A few obviously trapped books, a scribbled note, and a box filled with Medigel with a note "For the Clinic" on it indicated that he too had returned home.

With Ami kidnapped, Valentine's fast approaching, and his housemates either gone or preparing to leave for a camping trip, Luke was feeling his equilibrium slipping. Flipping open his journal, he sent out a broadcast.]

Hello everyone,

I regret to inform you that Commander Alia Shepard and Professor Mordin Solus have both returned to their world. They were good people, and Mordin saved a lot of lives during the last draft. If it's something you do, have a drink for them. They'd appreciate it.

If you have an appointment with me, I'm sorry, I'll have to cancel for the time being. I'll be in Good Spirits this evening, and tomorrow morning I'm heading into the mountains for some time to myself.

And Shepard, Mordin?

May the Force be with you.

[True to his word, Luke will be in Good Spirits for most of the evening, and he'll be around town packing up some supplies for some time in the mountains. Grab him anywhere around town.]

[Oh, Obi-Wan had only scarce interactions with their housemates, but he knew exactly how significant Mordin's intervention had been, how many lives he had saved, and he too notes the absence of the pair, though he wasn't as close to them as Luke was.

He's finished packing the few supplies he'll need, and now he waits in the dining room for Luke, a second teacup sitting opposite his own.]

"Join me for tea?"

[Saleh doesn't respond to the broadcast, but instead decides to seek out Luke at the Good Spirits. He wasn't one for normally hanging out there, nor does he understand how drinking actually makes people feel better. Regardless, he doesn't feel like he can leave the Jedi to brood alone. The broadcast was another reminder that either Ewan or himself can be sent home at any time. It is something Saleh is already fearing, despite the fact that Ewan had only arrived recently.]

[When Saleh enters the bar, he spots Luke and approaches him carefully.]

...Luke?

[Spock, finally finding some time on his hands, found himself at Good Spirits.

On this particular evening he encountered a rather sullen (for him) Jedi.]

Greetings Mister Skywalker... how are you? [It was an odd question coming from the Vulcan... but Spock knew something was...off.]

[Loki should be aware of Valentines approaching but right now he is not. He hops from one shop into another, gathering the things he needs. He is holding a small list in his hands and he hopes to find Leah a right dress to wear. Because the current green one does not befit her. Not that he is going to tell her that, of course. Not to her face. He likes to spare his person from bruises.

He almost walks into Luke when he enters another shop. A quick hop fom one feet onto another saves him (and Luke) from a rather unfortunate crash.]

[While Phil had seen Luke's earlier announcement, he didn't know the two people in question personally, so didn't comment on it one way or the other.

However, with a bit of time on his hands this evening he decides that going to Good Spirits would not be a bad thing.

To see how Luke was doing, though loosing housemates must be hard. He spots Luke quickly enough, and heads over.]

Good evening, Luke.

[ Ikki's obviously not going to see Luke at the town bar, but around town? That's much more doable. She's often located near the fountain when she has free time, and today is no exception - although the instant she spots Luke she's headed to where he is at sixty miles an hour. ]

Uncle Luuuuuuuuuuke! Whatcha doing?
