Garrus Vakarian

Hi I'm Garrus Vakarian, and this is my favourite spot on the Internet!

Garrus Vakarian: Hi I'm Garrus Vakarian, and this is my favourite spot on the Internet!You: Hi! Ever missed your Citadel Security days?Garrus Vakarian: Actually, yeah. It was a lot simpler. I miss the little things, going for drinks after duty, hanging out with the crew, I had a good team. Here, it's just stress, every hour every day.You: Reapers taking a lot of your time? At least you've got the Normandy Crew. Liara, Tali, Kaidan they all...Garrus Vakarian: Yeah, Normandy Crew is like a second family to me after this whole thing. And I don't know what I'd do without my lovely Tali, we've got a solid crew and a solid ship here!You: Ooh? A lot of people assumed you are with ShepardGarrus Vakarian: It's complicated. Shepard is the love of my life, and has been for a while. But things with Tali, have been developing recently. So it seems unlikely it works out between Shepard and I, but that doesn't stop me being their friend. It's a very weird family, but I love it.Garrus Vakarian: Hi I'm Garrus Vakarian, and this is my favourite spot on the Internet!You: Hi! Apart from Dr. Saleon, what would you say is your most memorable C-SEC case you have ever worked on?Garrus Vakarian: Well most of my work at C-SEC was pretty standard; dealing with gang warfare, taking care of criminals, keeping people safe, that sort of thing. But the most memorable would have to have been dealing with that Asari serial killer. That was the first time I ever really had to deal with someone who was just plain evil, and it really tested a lot of my beliefs. I think I did a good job, though the case did scare some of the recruits.You: An Asari Serial Killer? What happened?Garrus Vakarian: She was called Matriarch Tela Vasir and basically she was just a bad person. She had done a lot of really nasty things in her time and she was working as a private mercenary for a rogue group in Omega. She used a lot of drugs and stuff, and we found out she'd murdered people for fun. And that was the first time I'd encountered anyone like that. It really shook me, I didn't get much sleep that night. You see, I thought evil didn't exist as a concept. I learned from the experience. It was a lot to process.You: Wasn't she a Spectre as well? Garrus Vakarian: That's right, yeah. It's a pretty well-known fact that her Spectre status was controversial at best. People were saying she bought her way in. I think the other thing that got everyone worked up about it was that she had killed the head of an alliance colony, so naturally, humans got involved.You: Oh dear. Good thing Shepard and Liara killed her in Ilium thenGarrus Vakarian: Yep! But the thing is, she was a very charismatic person. She was well liked, respected, and a hero to a lot of people. That made the crime all the worse, and the situation all the more complicated after it.You: Mmm, the galaxy does have a lot of crazy criminals. Ever miss being in C-SEC? Or you comfortable with the Normandy Crew now?Garrus Vakarian: Yeah, sometimes I do. Just for the simplicity of it, you know? And for my old crew, some of them were like family to me. But I've got family here. I've got a good life on this ship. But I do miss some aspects of the old days.You: Who in particular?Garrus Vakarian: I really miss Captain Vevral. She was a tough woman, but tough enough to put someone like me in my place when it was needed. She was always straight up with me, even when it hurt. It was easy to respect her for that. That's the kind of person that makes a good Captain. And, of course, I miss the Citadel. It's a beautiful place. The Normandy is a fantastic ship, but the Citadel is just something else.
