Description
A nicely done screenshot I was particularly proud of doing, so much I think this is one of my best ones so far. The dark, moodiness with the look of both uncertainty, but optimism shining through in the faint glow around them. Light within darkness. Even a bit of a story to go along.

( Strongly recommend listening to VNV Nation - Homeward while looking at it. )

Isaac Clarke and Tali'Zorah share an extremely close bond, forged through both loss and struggle to exist in a world that has left them behind. Isaac Clarke, while still working for the Merchant Marines, had to find ways to access jobs and materials while avoiding the massive webs of red tape the NET set up in virtually all neutral space. Isaac found this safety within the Migrant Fleet, often cooperating with the quarians where other Marines refused them for being alien and scavengers. Isaac Clarke became an unofficial 'ambassador' of humanity for many quarians, especially Rael'Zorah and a very young Tali'Zorah.

As his role in the Fleet became more and more stressed due to the Merchant Marines losing customers due to privatized NET space covering their old sectors, Isaac stayed on the Rayya for a short time until the situation died down, becoming a very close friend and mentor of Tali, and inadvertently inspired her to become an engineer like him. Helping her through difficult times and protecting her from corruption by Unitologist radicals who tried to convert her, Isaac accidentally soured his welcome on board after killing a Unitologist who threatened to kidnap Tali. Isaac and Tali faded away from each other, eventually taking a role in the CEC, where he learned that an old friend, Nicole Brennan, onboard the ship, the USG Ishimura, had run into some trouble on the outer rim...

Five years later, Isaac Clarke survived the Horrors of the Ishimura, and the assault on the Sprawl, having lost everything important and dear to him and aimlessly wandering the Local Galactic Cluster in search of purpose. At the same time, Tali'Zorah became well known for her work on the Normandy SR-1, where she, along with a team led by the famous Commander Shepard, stopped a plan by the rogue Spectre Saren, to allow a mysterious race known as 'Reapers', along with the Swarm, back into the LGC. However, this victory was short-lived. Seeing the possible threat Shepard and his crew stood to the NET, the Normandy was deceived into meeting the NET Defense Fleet for 'negotiations'. The SR-1 was destroyed, with almost all hands lost.

Trapped in an unfamiliar world, alone, and hunted, Tali'Zorah uses every last ounce of her strength to avoid the NET that wishes to cover up the fate of the Normandy, finding herself helped by friends old and new as she attempts to escape the planet Miracus. Recently, Isaac Clarke learned of the conspiracy through an unknown contact, discovering Tali was alive, though barely, at the heart of NET space. With nothing left to lose, Isaac Clarke traveled to Miracus, with time of the essence, to find her...
