The scene fades in on a dark poorly lit room badly in need of repair, a small table and a chair is in the middle of the room.  An Asari walks into view; she has purple skin with red face markings.  She wears the uniform of the Justicar but it too is in need of repair, the old Asari sits in the chair and looks over a data pad.  "Soon Shepard, Samara will be avenged and your devil spawn will rot in hell where she belongs!"  The scene cuts to the Bastogne speeding toward the Sol relay.  

Anima: (over the radio) Delta we are ten minutes out from the Sol Relay.

Delta: (over the radio) Understood, take us through I'm in my way.

Anima:  EDI you heard the man take us to the Pangaea Expanse.

EDI:  Understood Shepard… Shepard you have a message coming through official channels.

Anima:  What?  Okay I'll take it in the comm room, take us through the relay contact me and the Commander when we get there.

EDI:  Understood Shepard.

Anima leaves her post near the galaxy map and heads down to the communication hub.  Anima enters the comm room and heads over to the video comm. interface as she enters a blue light washes over her and the background fades to black, and her mother appears in front of her.

Anima: Mom I told you this isn't our personal video comm.  

Liara:  Yes… Anima I have some troubling new.  I didn't know if I should bother you with it but I think you should know.

Anima:  What is it?

Liara:  Your father… he… I…

Anima:  Mom what is wrong?

Liara:  He had the surgery to replace his implants which seemed to go well.

Anima:  Well that's a good thing, what he feels so good he wants to get back on a ship?

Liara:  He lost his memory Anima, the last twenty plus years are gone.

Anima stands there in shock not knowing what to say, Liara can see the fear in her eyes.

Liara: The doctors say it does happen from time to time with major surgery.  

Anima:  I… he doesn't know me?

Liara: No sweetie… I'm sorry, he barely remembers me.

Anima: Should I come home?  I am sure I can get emergency leave.

Liara:  It wouldn't do any good, I'll keep you up to date just be safe and make us proud.  I wish I had better news.  

Anima:  Okay mom, I love you tell dad… tell…

Liara:  I'll tell him you love him, got to go now he has some tests I love you.

Anima nods and turns as she does the room comes back, her knees feel weak her own father doesn't remember her prom, when she got her black belt, or her first boyfriend that he nearly made wet his pants.  All those memories she loved, he doesn't know they ever happened.  She walks back to the galaxy map Delta now standing there.  

Delta:  Everything okay?

Anima:  Um… yeah just a family thing it won't get in the way sir.

Delta:  Okay if you need to talk let me know.

Delta walks up to the galaxy map which now shows the planets of the Pangaea Expanse and the giant relay.  

Delta: EDI take us to the Williams system.

EDI:  Yes sir, we will be there in two hours.  

Delta:  Radio me when we arrive, me and Anima will be in the gym.  

Anima looks at Delta with a curious look "the gym?" she asks.  

Delta:  Yes LT I need to know you can handle yourself in a fight, plus I think you need a distraction right now.

Anima smiles "so a sparring session is what you want?" Delta walks over to the elevator holding the door open "scared LT?"  Anima just shakes her head and follows her commander onto the elevator.  The elevator goes to the lowest level of the ship a small area that holds a small gym with a boxing ring in the middle of the room.  Delta walks over to the ring "I going to get changed into my workout cloths, I'll be right back."  Delta walks off to the men's locker room Anima heads to the women's.  As the two make their way to the square boxing ring a few off duty crew members gather around.  Delta is wearing black boxing shorts, and Anima is wearing an Alliance sweat suit it is dark blue with a gold Alliance emblem on the left front of the top.  Both Delta and Anima do some stretching in their corners, Grunt makes his way into the gym to watch the two go at it.  

Delta:  You ready LT?  I'll take it easy on you, this time.

Anima:  I'll keep that in mind Sir, you sure at your age you won't break a hip?

Delta:  I think I'll be okay smart ass.

The two walk to the middle of the ring and stand in a fight pose before moving around, Delta bounces and moves to his left sizing up his opponent.  Anima stands her ground and follows Delta with her eyes watching his every move, and in a flash Delta throws a punch that connects.  Anima takes a step back "damn he is fast" she thinks to herself.  Delta still bouncing and moving to his left he throws a right jab, but this time Anima is ready for it and blocks the punch and countering it with a left hook to Delta's body.  "Not bad LT" Delta says as he starts moving to his right now.  Anima decides to take a more aggressive style of fighting and goes on the attack.  She side steps and throws a right jab Delta blocks it grabbing Anima's arm and hip throws her to the mat.  Anima quickly gets back to her feet "so it' one of those matches is it?"  Delta nods in response with a slight smile on his face.  The crew watching is getting bigger as news has spread across the ship.  Both Delta and Anima move quickly and with purpose each trying to get the upper hand.  Anima throws a left roundhouse then steps in close hits Delta twice in the gut then hits him with a quick uppercut to the jaw knocking him back but he stays on his feet.  "This Asari has some skill, time to see how much" Delta thinks to himself.  Delta charges Anima she tries to hit him but he slides under her attack.  Quickly spinning Delta lands to hits into Anima's back knocking her forward.  Delta smiles' thinking he has taken the will to fight out of his young XO, but Anima turns again facing down her commander.  "No quit in you I see" Delta says while wiping some sweat from his forehead.  Anima doesn't say anything just smiles before running at Delta.  Delta holds his ground as the Asari runs at him, he throws a punch but Anima suddenly isn't their she has side stepped him and lands a right kick to the side of Delta's face, she isn't holding back anymore.  Delta is thrown to the mat with the kick which stunned him, but he is far from defeated.  Getting back to his feet Delta puts his hands up and makes his way toward Anima.  Each fighter now circling looking for an opening for an attack, Anima tries a front kick, but Delta quickly moves out of the way and hits Anima in the jaw he was no longer holding back either.  With each blow the crowd cheers, the fight goes back in forth with neither fighter getting an upper hand.  Delta and Anima now breathing hard both have signs of the fight on their faces, Anima with blood running from her nose and Delta with a cut above his left eye with blood coming from the wound.  

Anima: (slightly out of breath) Ready to quit yet?

Delta:  Sorry, I don't know that word.  

Delta rushes Anima tackling her and taking her to the ground, Anima now on her back with Delta on top of her she covers her face to protect it from his punches.  A few however find their mark, blood now coming from her mouth she has had enough of this.  Delta is so caught up in the fact that he winning doesn't notice that Anima is glowing green, but the crew does and they begin to cheer in anticipation of what is about to happen.  Anima uses a biotic pulse throwing Delta off of her and clean across the ring.  Delta lands on his back stunned as Anima walks up to him.  Delta sees her and hits her with a biotic wrap pushing her back to the other side giving him time to regain his composure standing up Delta throws another biotic attack toward Anima who blocks it.  With each attack the gym lights up blue or green, both fighters are on their last bit of energy.  Anima tries to hit Delta with a pull but he blocks it, Delta pushing his biotics now glowing blue he tries one more time to get the upper hand, Anima is glowing green, each fighter getting ready to unleash their own version of hell on the other.  When EDI comes over the radio much to the crowds displeasure "Commander we are entering the Williams system" Delta and Anima relax.  

Delta:  Thanks EDI I'll be up in a minute.  

EDI:  Understood Commander.  

Delta walks up to Anima and shakes her hand.

Delta:  Good fight LT, I'll have to remember to take you along on a few missions.

Anima:  You're a tough opponent for and old man that is.  

Delta:  Yeah, yeah laugh it up.

Both Delta and Anima exit the ring as the crowd disperses and the scene fades to black.
Anima gets some disturbing news, and Delta decides to test his young XO.
