The very next day Liara was talking to Ciri wanting to know which path she followed instead of vengeance as Ciri turned slightly red since she was embarrassed to reveal it to Liara since she changed her path from vengeance to find meaning in life and the only thing that gave her some meaning was the love she had for Vincent at that time.
Liara was confused why Ciri didn't answer when Yennefer revealed it to Liara which made Liara now turn purple in embarrassment as Yennefer smiled at the innocence of both.
The mechanics were done with exchanging the plates of the ground in the Cargo Bay as the Normandy took flied again.
Vincent was joking around at the cost of Garrus and Wrex for falling prey to Provus and Ishly when Wrex asked Vincent, "How did they manage to be so calm when guns were pointed at them?"
"Simple in a life-and-death situation they need to keep a calm mind or their invisibility would stop working. To train a calm mind Ellana put them under illusions to train them. It is easier to look into the barrel of a gun than into a mouth of a Dragon. Trust me I have experience in those things," says Vincent as they now understood why the children didn't feel fear in that situation.
"Anyway," says Vincent as he was radiating a dangerous aura and says, "You pointed your guns at my children."
"We thought there were ghosts!" shouts Wrex as Garrus was already running for his life.
"There is no escape," says Vincent wanting to scare them only as they left the Cargo Bay that Vincent also had his naughty side even if he was an Emperor before.
This made those that knew Vincent's real identity ask themselves how such a person could have become Emperor in the first place.
"I know that look," says Mina seeing Liara's confused look.
"What do you mean?" asks Liara as Mina smiled at her.
"You are thinking how such a laid-back person could have led an Empire," says Mina as Liara couldn't deny those words.
"It's quite simple. You haven't seen him when he is in work mode. He is quite different when he is thinking about the well-being of his people and even more when he enters a war. If he was in the lead of this mission against Saren he would be completely different," says Mina seriously as Liara was confused.
"Right now he is only the adventurer Vincent Highwind. He is a normal person that hates to be tied down to a desk. In his first years of ruling, he would escape until our son died because he wasn't present. From that day on he wouldn't escape but plan his vacations," says Mina sadly as Liara could understand the feeling after losing her mother.
"But let's say you don't want to see his war personality. You will only feel fear and try to run away as fast as possible. Only Ysayle came close to his coldness in those moments," says Mina as Ciri and Yennefer only heard stories of Ysayle from the other wives that lived in her time as Vincent's wife.
"Ysayle was quite special if I have to say," says Azura as she knew Ysayle from the stories the Divines and Daedric Princes were telling about her.
"What do you mean?" asks Ciri not knowing what made Ysayle special.
"Ysayle was from the same Universe as Vincent and could turn into a Divine-like being," says Azura as this surprised Yennefer and Ciri who were in the dark of this while Liara fell over.
"You mean she could turn into a God?" asks Liara rendering the other impossible thing out of the way since this was way bigger.
"Yes, she could turn into a Goddess called Shiva in Vincent's Universe. She even calmed a raging Vulcano with her powers which we Divines and Daedric Princes didn't want to touch," says Azura as Liara was fascinated and was taking notes of everything that was being said.
"No wonder their first daughter is called Ice Queen," says Yennefer as Mina giggled at that.
"It was one of the reasons," says Mina as Liara was asking Azura out for more information.
"What are you women doing?" asks Vincent when he sees Liara far more motivated than she was since she joined the Normandy.
"Is it true that you come from a different Universe?" asks Liara as Vincent looked at his wives before turning back to Liara.
"It is true but we still don't have a way to contact that world except for a little hand mirror that is buried with my wife Saaranji," says Vincent explaining why Saaranji had such a mirror.
Vincent was questioned out by Liara the whole day while the children were running around the Mako training under his Vigilance's eye as he attended Liara and her curiosity.
She soon left and Mina came forward and says, "She could be wife-material. We need a scientist in our midst."
"She isn't really a scientist but a historian going that her major is in Prothean technology and culture. Maybe I should have Mannimarco and her have some time together to exchange information with each other," says Vincent as he really wasn't against the idea since Liara seemed like a nice and innocent person that can live for centuries.
He would accept her with open arms if she really wanted to start a relationship with him since she filled the most important standard for Vincent to consider a relationship with someone and that was for the person to have a long lifespan.
"But first I need to please a certain Queen before thinking of another woman," says Vincent as Mina smiled.
"Mara Sov, what was it again?" asks Mina thinking about what Mara Sov wanted from Vincent who turned serious.
"She wanted the head of the Taken King as a marriage proposal instead of a simple ring. Gods know when The Taken King will appear if he ever will is the question," says Vincent as it was twenty years since he asked for her hand.
"I think that this King will arrive sooner or later as the Travel and the Guardians did," says Mina as she was quite sure of it.
"Let's hope they arrive after we have dealt with the Reapers. Dealing with both at the same time can become problematic," says Vincent as they would need to split up their Fleets to deal with the problem.
"What about the Batarians?" asks Mina as she was curious how the situation was on that front.
"I heard that their colonies were purged while the slaves were freed by our people. I asked Naomasa to tell me if he finds a woman with the family name Shepard," says Vincent as Mina looked at him curiously.
"Is she," says Mina as Vincent nods.
"Yes, the mother of Titania and Tristan. It seems she was made a slave," says Vincent as Mina turned cold.
"We should have dealt with them sooner," says Mina as Vincent sighs.
"We would have revealed ourselves when we were still weak if we attacked them earlier. Right now was perfect," says Vincent when suddenly they hear Titania over the loudspeaker.
"Everyone be ready. We are changing course from our original course to help some people on Feros who activated their emergency signal a moment ago. I want Asley, Wrex, and Kaidan on the bridge," says Titania as she didn't mention Vincent making him think that he won't be needed.
The Normandy soon landed and the group left the Normandy while Vincent was dealing with the children's training.
Time passed and Titania and the others haven't returned yet which made many people nervous as she hasn't contacted anyone from the Normandy when Tristan comes to the Cargo Bay.
"I need your help," says Tristan worried about his sister as Vincent looks at him.
"You sure she needs our help?" asks Vincent as he was worried as well but Titania was a headstrong person who wasn't easily defeated.
"She hasn't answered any of my calls. She wouldn't do that," says Tristan as Vincent looked at Anra.
She nods and prepared her armor as Vincent says, "Ciri prepare your equipment and tell Kirvena to do the same."
Ciri nods as she went up to get Kirvena who was in the Canteen when Tristan says, "Thanks, I will accompany you too."
Tristan then leaves to recruit Garrus, Liara, and Tali and went for the bridge to find Vincent's group there ready to go. They were briefed by Tristan before they stepped on the once frozen planet.
They walk for a while and find themselves in Zhu's Hope with civilians having water and food while Titania's group was missing.
They walk towards one of them and Tristan grabs him in his desperation of losing his only living relative and asks, "Have you seen a group of four come here before us?"
"What?" asks the man as he didn't know why Tristan was doing that to him.
Vincent put his hand on Tristan's and says, "He isn't responsible that your sister disappeared. His expression already says that he doesn't even know about the group."
Tristan seemed to calm down when Vincent asks the man, "Who and where is the leader of this group?"
"Fai Dan is the leader of the colony. He might know more about everything that is going on around here," says the man pointing them into the direction where they can find Fai Dan.
"Thank you very much and please forgive the behavior of my friend. He is just worried because of his sister," says Vincent as they go to find Fai Dan.
