John smiled and made sure all of his equipment was in order as the ship decelerated for the last time and the Capital Station, so renamed though the center of galactic power was still the same because it was the best place to hold out in a siege, and everyone knew it.  The Citadel was massive, the biggest space station that has ever existed according to some, a technological marvel left behind by the Protheans.  John lead the way to the nearest observation deck once she had dressed, and the sight that was before them was impressive.<br/><br/>http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080724185810/masseffect/images/5/50/NormandyCitadel2.jpg (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080724185810/masseffect/images/5/50/NormandyCitadel2.jpg) (The Citadel itself.)<br/><br/>John truly felt at home as the massive station came into view, surrounded by ships from Asari, Turian, and Alliance Navies.  The fact that they were working together so well was a testament on how far the galaxy had come during the two or three centuries since the Reaper War ended.  "There's my home, just as I remember it.  The Citadel, now known as the Capital Station after extensive repairs from the War were completed and a new era was ushered in when the infamous Cycle was broken at last.  We endured, as this Citadel endured."<br/><br/>"'Shepard,' we're going in, prepare your party for disembarkation immediately."  The voice of the captain echoed through the intercom, and John nodded as he led the way back to the airlock and the message was sent to everyone onboard.  Once everyone was gathered, John without his helmet this time, the Spectre led the way through the Citadel, making for the Tower that held the Council's chambers.<br/><br/>((Will stop at other places if you guys want to explore, but one doesn't keep the Council waiting lol.))<br/><br/>http://masseffected.pbworks.com/f/1200079659/masseffect_62_745x440.jpg (http://masseffected.pbworks.com/f/1200079659/masseffect_62_745x440.jpg)  (One interior shot of the Presidum, where most of us are going right away most likely.)
