Well, I've sort of forced us to the finish line. Now, the character epilogue thing is something I'd really like.
Now that we're done, I gotta say I'm a bit sad Skyla didn't play a role until the very end. Ever since we set out on the plot thread we just completed sometimes in, I think February or March, I was looking forward to how this was going to play out, with Sar motivated to try and keep this guy alive while Skyla would probably want to kill him and be done with it. To be honest, I was hoping for that to be one of the strongest moments in the entire story, how their rivalry on the subject would make it play out.
Still, I can take what did actually happened, and I'm damn certain I really like what came to be in the end.
There is one thing, however. Originally, this wasn't supposed to be the end, but now... Now's the time I just spoiler tag the entire planned plot here.
These are all my notes. Just copy pasted the docx file I had on Aftermath. Esu se'lai.

PLACE AT THE MOMENT OF DOCUMENT CREATION: RADIO RELAY, MANY CERBERUS KILLED, ONE AGENT REMAINING
HARD TIME SCHEDULE: ONE WEEK OF IN-UNIVERSE TIME
PLAN AT THE MOMENT OF DOCUMENT CREATION: FIND RADIO JAMMER. RADIO JAMMER LOCATED WITHIN FOB ALREADY TARGETED, MUST BE TRIANGULATED TO REVEAL POSITION
Goal after jammer is located: Disable. Jammer is Cerberus in origin, designed to stop us from communicating what's going on with the Thanix weapon carrier. Final Cerberus agent in wide area is not informed of his squad's demise and is going according to their plan. Jammer is a standart-issue Alliance long range radio, currently appropriated by a Cerberus agent posing as Comm Officer.
Cerberus agent is to be determined as such by triangulation and appropriated, resulting in an extraction. Private Gazu ("Ghost") is sent to escort the POW to the shuttle for interrogation, ending his part in the story for now.
As the squad approaches the Thanix-armed tank location, there is a window where the team is moving slow. Gunshots are heard from the general direction.
The window is to be used by an unknown element, later to be determined as Krogan after arrival. Later found out to be a rebellion againist Wrex. No more than two to three dozen Krogan involved.
Upon arrival to scene, a fight breaks out. 9 enemy Krogan killed. While retrieval is successful, Command requires new threat to be eliminated. Enter clan Gorram scout by the name of Jax, loyal to Wrex and found when following lead acquired from datapad leading to a safehouse.
Jax reveals more information on the rebellion, stating that Gatatog Uvenk is involved and offers to cooperate for the time being. During a joint scouting operation, Jax reveals the major difference between highly-trained infiltrators of other races such as Skyla and Sar by his race-based preference for force recon, resulting in a minor fight.
His assault, however, renders the operation unsuccessful as the Squad has to fight a few more Krogan delaying them, allowing Uvenk to escape to an unknown location in the process. Trail goes cold and Jax claims the "aliens" are to be blamed due to their "cowardice" which ends the first part.
The Squad is then sent to extract a high value individual and assist in rescue efforts by the Thames river, searching for survivors and marking casualties for later retrieval. Some may find this unsatisfactory. Several encounters with looters and scavengers, some of which are just trying to survive and some are trying to get their pockets full of Creds. Should offer good moral questions as well as occasional combat scenario.
After a few encounters, intelligence reports a lead on the Krogan rebels a hundred kilometers north. Squad is extracted and transported by shuttle, and Ghost once again rejoins the squad to provide assistance as well as control for small-scale strikes by MFV Yaska. All hostile Krogan at the site are neutralized, leaving Uvenk as the sole fugitive. This time, however, he is not even in the area and the entire scenario ends on a cliffhanger. To be potentially explored in a sequel of sorts.
