Mass Effect Chronicles: Gateway Station » Places

         Rachael nodded to Zander before waving him goodbye and making her way to her favourite cafe, the cafe had a lovely few of the planet below and if she ever got bored of it, it was close to some shops and the park was in few, so she was rarely in need of entertainment as the cafe was surrounded by some lovely scenery whilst the shops provided some excellent therapy.

Sat at one of the tables, a human waiter came over to her and smiled. "Afternoon, Dr Reynolds, the usual?" Rachael chuckled and gave the young waiter a nod.
"Yes, please." The guy laughed before walking back to the cafe and giving the order to the chef, her drink was delivered shortly afterwards.

Sipping on the lemonade, she watched out the large observation glass at the planet below, the beauty of the sapphire blue waters, emerald green forests and the amber deserts was enough to make any romantic swoon. But the peace didn't last long, some pro-human was giving off to one of the asari guests, prompting a response from Rachael. "Is there a problem, Mr Hunter?"
"Yeah, this alien is in my seat." The man responded. "Don't get yourself involved." Rachael rolled her eyes and stood up, limping over to the table she grabbed the man by the forearm and pulled him back from the asari.
"As one of the few doctors who have agreed to aid the other races in their intellectual pursuits, you involved me already." Pushing him away, she looked at him, her eyes filled with hurt and anger.
"Alien-lover!" The man yelled and Rachael sighed, reaching to her thigh she drew her gun.
"I dare you to say something else." The man looked down the barrel of the gun before running off.

Rachael went back to her table and picked up her glass and moved it over to sit beside the asari. "Dr Rachael Reynolds, I don't recognise you, are you part of a new team?"
"Yes, I arrived earlier than the rest because I'd like to get a feel for the base before I start learning and teaching."
