Garrus Vakarian shows off some Turian firepower, while Revali thinks everyone's making a big deal out of a tiny little bit of weight gain. Enjoy!

***************

For any turian, an order to lift an Aquia-class fighter, ten metric tons of military hardware, with their bare hands would be impossible— but after the recent augmentation program he had been through, Garrus Vakarian was not just any turian. A sharpshooter and commando, a hero to his people, and Commander Shepard's partner in crime, Garrus had been enjoying an eventful "retirement" after the reaper threat had been dealt with. The Turian Hierarchy wanted to make use of him, and he accepted the call for a super soldier program— something to forge capable Turian commandos into juggernauts capable of dealing with reaper-class threats. The process Garrus went through? Classified. The chemicals and bio-augmentations he ingested? Classified. The results? Well, that was plain for all to see.

The augmentation project had transformed Garrus into a titan of a turian. Even now that he stood taller than a krogan, he was wider than his height, a bastion of overblown muscle. His legs alone were powerful and heavy enough to bend the metal platform beneath him, earth-shaking quads rippling with every lumbering step. His torso billowed out wide with wing-like lats, and his back looked larger than some countries. His enormous arm was pumped, tricep as large as an asteroid, his bicep inflating as he was holding the fighter overhead. He couldn't wait for Shepard to get a look at him now.

Revali didn't understand what all the other rito were so worried about— he had his appetite and weight perfectly under control. So what if he was outeating the entire goron tribe? It was an eating contest, and if he was in a contest, he won. So what if he scared the Hyrulians the last time he was feasting with the Princess because he swallowed an entire suckling pig whole? He was hungry, it was a feast, so he was feasting. So what if he had been temporarily banned from the Zora Domain because he had overfished their lake to the point of near extinction for his last fish fry? Everyone was vastly overreacting to a little bit of weight gain and a little bit of indulgence.
