Description
Liara tapped on her omni-tool and the file minimized into the bottom right screen as it downloaded, allowing her to continue her search for more data. She located a small cache of photographs and opened the file. In near synchronisation they both froze and hissed in deep breaths. The vid wall was filled with photographs of Shepard, mostly photo's of her directly after the War, battered, bruised, laying in the rubble, hooked up to machines in the hospital, her arms bandaged, her left side covered in angry purple bruises. Liara put her hand over her mouth trying to stifle a sob of anguish. Kaidan clenched his jaw, his lips pressed into a hard line, his brow furrowed. He stepped forward, his hand instinctively reaching for the screen before him, his eyes fixed on the image. As his fingers met the image of her face the screens flickered and one by one were filled with the standard exclamation mark within an angry red triangle.
"What happened?" Kaidan asked, immediately bringing up his omni-tool and running a scan of the equipment.
"We've lost the connection. Glyph, can you run a scan and identify the problem."
The white orb whirled into life and a stream of data scrolled across the screens to fast for the human eye to process.
"Did you get that vid file downloaded?" Kaidan asked as he moved to stand behind her looking over her shoulder at terminal where she was frantically typing. Liara tapped a small icon at the bottom of the screen.
"Only about 6%"
"Dr T'Soni," Glyph glided to her side and turned its spherical eye on Liara. "It appears the connection to the London's COM system has been severed."
"Can you re-establish the link?" she asked. Glyph processed for a moment.
"Negative. The connection was severed by order of Captain Humphreys and a block has been set in place."
Liara glanced at Kaidan, his lips pressed together in a thin line as his eyes hardened.
"Can we bypass the block?" he asked the drone through gritted teeth.
"Negative. It is beyond the capabilities of this unit."
Liara turned back to Kaidan just in time to see him walking resolutely out of the door.
Another render to get me into fic mode. This is my inception render. In total there are 6 renders in the shot and around 12 screenshots, including the main background.

Kaidan modded by me to give him stubble to fit in with the fic.

This is really excellent. Not just the artwork-the story itself is quite good. I would be interested in reading more. Thank you.

Wow! That's pretty awesome, putting all those pictures on the screens must have been a lot of work...
But it looks awesome. Plus, scruffy Kaidan fits this picture perfectly <3

My reaction when I saw this was very close to Liara's here... Wow... just wow... I can't even begin to fathom the amount of work that went into this and the result is fantastic!

Idea came to me when I wrote that part maybe a year ago. I knew it would take a while so it remained in my notebook
Pretty proud of how it turned out
