Mason Alenko *Kepler and Beatrice Shepard approached Marie in the CIC to observe the battle take shape. As the Eidolon danced with other enemy fighters, a pattern was identified, and Kepler brought attention to one of the red dots on the real-time field map* That's their command ship.

The Paladins and their remaining fleet converged on the Citadel, ready to hit the remaining Rinzler ships head on. The battle would be tough, but thanks to Liara, they had the codes they needed to get access into the Citadel as the space battle continued to rage on.

Yang wished Mason well, and he did the same for the Paladin leader, leaving him with some words of encouragement. Yang had come far, very far, and now.. it all brought him back home. It was time to put an end to things, once and for all.

With the advent of EVA gear, the Paladins were able to boost in, flying across the sky of the station. Everyone knew their roles, and so, they split into respective teams - and hit landfall on all the separate Ward arms. Yang was with Kepler and Rona - their target; the Tower...

Suddenly, Beatrice felt an electric shock coarse through her, snapping out of her dazed state. The tram to get into the Archives was a lengthy one, so rest was advised. She sat across from Alyssa Shepard, with Clementine Shepard’s head resting against her own shoulder...

Beatrice Shepard Clementine Shepard ...I don't know what you are, but you're not my sister. Avin, Revel, and my father all saw the darkness I see now through that twisted artifact, and I swear on their souls that it ends here and now. I have to stop you, Bea. Even if that means killing you...

C-SEC HQ was at a standstill. Tywin Edwards had been incarcerated to answer for his crimes, Lycainus Feltzer was on life support and under heavy guard, and Tanner Yang was brought to a vacant room, untouched.

The Shepard sisters, Rona, Junaris Liveros, and Avalon Feltzer crowded around him in silence, each one feeling compelled to stay but unable to summon fitting words for their fallen leader...

Later, Beatrice found herself being approached by Tanner Yang, just before they both had to set off to tend to a variety of errands and tasks. The look on his face told her everything she needed to know...

Four long months passed since the Paladins intervened at the Citadel. In that time, Liara observed and participated in change, and transition toward a brighter future for Citadel Space and beyond.
