Day 9: Holiday + Day 22: Grenade
Frozen lakes and falling snow
Make the Initiatives progress slow
Stupid Kett and stupid Scourge
Have Andromeda diverged
Between the storm and all the fights
We try to celebrate the holy night
To all the human crew onboard the ship
Let's celebrate and let's stay hip!
Left on the crew board by Peebee
Liam: What the-
Jaal: Is this some kind of tradition?
Drack: Hah!
Lexi: Merry Christmas
Ryder: And happy holidays~
Vetra: Are you really trying to sing in the chat?
Ryder: No...
Liam: Snow is falling...
Kallo: No.
Liam: All around me...
Kallo: No!
Gil: Children playing, having fun...
Drack: Vetra, do you still have that stock of grenades? I have an idea.
Ryder: No decorating the Christmas Mako with grenades!
Drack: Boring.
You can find a collection of all my N7 Month drabbles on AO3.

Reasons I love Mass Effect Andromeda
I feel far more comfortable being a civilian explorer than a military soldier, doing military soldier things on the orders of other soldiery people
Drack
While Shepard starts and finishes their arc as a respected badass, Ryder grows immensely, goes on a personal journey and becomes respected
Drack
The Tempest is a really nice ship, and a small ship with a tiny crew of friends feels preferable to a massive warship staffed by a chorus line of crew
Drack
At no point am I forced to interact with Dr Liara T'Soni
Drack
Journeying across dark space for 600 years is the scariest thing in the whole series
Drack
The Nomad squadmate conversations are legitimately great
Drack
Being able to launch into the air and then biotic charge enemies from above is the single coolest combat move the series has produced
Finally, Nakmor Drack is a great character

Confession: I'll never forgive Bioware for not making a single Krogan romanceable. They're massive, muscular warriors with deep voices, they tower over you, they're obsessed with breeding, they canonically have four balls, and the second game not only shows one of them being romantic, but also that one of them wants to bed Shepard. And yet, in all four games, no romancable Krogans. I can understand why not for Wrex and Grunt, but you added new characters in 3. Give me some random new Krogan I can kiss.

I’m imagining an AU where Alec survived Habitat 7 and remained the Pathfinder. If Alec survived chances are he’d end up with the same exact Tempest crew + the Ryder twin. Like, imagine Alec being the one to have to babysit them and the resident grandpa and the chaos that would ensue.
Example scenarios under the cut
Alec: “Why is everyone still awake? Lights out was three hours ago?!”
Cora: “I tried to tell them we need to go to bed but Liam found a twenty season long anime and they’re marathoning it.”
Liam: *visibly tired* “Just one more episode Alec!”
Alec: “… Regs say you’re supposed to refer to me by my formal name…”
Liam: “Sure thing, Alec!”
-
Alec: “Liam… Ja’al… Where are your clothes?”
Ja’al: “Liam and I are just teaching each other about our people and cultures.”
Alec: “Okay but why do you have to take your clothes off for that?”
Liam and Ja’al: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-
Alec: “Ryder, get out of the Nomad!”
Ryder: “You’re not my dad.”
Alec: “Get out of the fucking Nomad, I am your dad!”
Ryder: “You’re not my dad!”
Alec: “I am your dad, get out of the fucking Nomad!”
-
Alec: “Excuse me, I don’t remember giving anyone clearance to-“
Drack: “Ah, let the kids be, Alec! I told em they could, they’re fine!”
Alec: “Why must you always undermine my authority…”
-
Alec: “Vetra, where the hell did you get 30 boxes of Blast-ohs cereal?”
Vetra: “… Extranet.”
-
Alec: “At least you listen to me and do your job like you’re supposed to.”
Cora: “Will you adopt me?”
Alec: “… I’m going to bed.”
-
Suvi: “Pathfinder Ryder, I licked a rock again. 🧍♀️”
Alec: “I just want to know peace in this life…”
-
Alec: “Peebee, if you don’t keep your pet remnant in your room I’m airlocking it!”
Peebee: “Poc just wants to explore!”
Alec: “Poc will explore the vacuum of space if you don’t put him where he belongs!”
Peebee: “Ugh, fine!”
-
Alec: “Kallo, apologize to Gil for snapping at him.”
Kallo: “but he-“
Alec: *Dad stare™*
Kallo: *grumbling* “I’m sorry…”
Alec: “Like you mean it.”
Kallo: “Fine. I’m sorry for snapping at you, Gil.”
Alec: “Good. Now Gil, apologize to Kallo for not respecting his ship.”
Gil: “But I was just-“
Alec: “One… two…”
Gil: “Alright, alright! I’m sorry for not respecting the Tempest.”
Alec: “Now you two better find a way to compromise or so help me.”
-
Alec: “I didn’t think Pathfinder meant babysitter.”
Lexi: “I didn’t think Doctor meant babysitter either. And yet, here we are.”
