Two identical cryo pods sat side by side, each containing nearly identical beings. Normally pods were left unguarded because everyone knew that once a being went under cryo it would take one hell of a miracle to have them wake up and escape. However the scientist staring down into the holding area could not help but shudder when he thought about the beings inside the pods just a few feet below him. Everything had to be checked routinely, there was to be no mistakes, no estimates, no errors whatsoever. Afterall this was Purgatory.
The incoming transmission beeped on the console closest to him, standing Warden Kuril motioned for everyone to leave the room. Watching as everyone left he clicked the console and waited for the caller to appear.
"Warden Kuril it is a pleasure as always."
"Illusive man." Kuril all but growled out, curling his fist at his side he hated dealing with this human. "What can I do for you?" he tried to keep his monotones level, the Illusive man could be called anything but human.
"Business." taking a drag from his cigarette his hologram began pacing in front of the warden, "I want to purchase a package." Kuril raised his omni tool and brought up a digital list of all the inmates currently alive in Purgatory, "Actually it will be two packages." The Illusive man continued, smirking when he saw the shocked turians face.
Kuril did not have to even ask who he was on about, "That is impossible." he spoke straightening his back as he spoke.
"I make the impossible, possible Kuril. I want those two available for pick up as soon as possible. I'm sure this will cover the costs." Swiping his hand on a nearby console, Kuril could not help but smile bitterly as 10 million credits were deposited into his account. "Pleasure doing business." Without another word the connection was closed.
It took a moment for Kuril to stop looking at the sum of money now staring back at him, clearing his throat he sat down and began thinking. He already had the money, hell, why should he give away his bargaining chips. Smirking Kuril closed his console and sat back placing his feet on the desk and relaxing back, wondering who the poor soul was that was coming to pick up the two devils.
Shepherd stood looking down at the two new dossiers in front of him, he knew the rest of his current team were standing waiting for his orders, he could feel their anticipation for the next mission. "Miranda." he looked up a little puzzled, "This can not be right." he handed the digital file back to his second in command.
"No." Miranda scanned the information once more, "This is correct."
"Shit." Shepherd rubbed his stubble as he leaned against the barrier behind him. It took him a moment to think of a plan of action, "Joker set a course of Purgatory."
"Wait Shepherd, Purgatory?" Garrus spoke up looking as confused as the rest of the team. Shepherd could only nod as once more he went back into his own mind to calculate further.
"Shit." Zaeed growled, moving from one foot to another.
After another round of silence Garrus once more spoke up, "So do I dare ask … what are who are we picking up?"
Shepherd could not help but chuckle, "EDI can you bring up the dossiers please."
"Of course Shepherd."
Everyone stood still as two faces appeared in the middle of the console. Both looking more like teenagers than grown women. Miranda broke the silence whilst pacing along the console, "First dossier is for Jack." The image changed to the more violent looking of the pair, shaved head, tattoos adorning every inch of her skin from the neck down, "Wanted within a number of systems, highly powerful biotic, currently held at Purgatory within cryo status."
"Crazy little bitch. I like it." Zaeed chuckled.
Miranda could only roll her eyes before continuing, "The second dossier is for Kitty. Once again wanted over a number of systems, powerful biotic, known mercenary assassin. Currently held within Purgatory within cryo status."
"Wait you're telling me she is a mercenary." Grunt crossed his arms as he stared at the image in front of him. Staring back was an almost identical picture of the first person, however this one had hair, bright red hair, piercing blue eyes and not as many tattoos as the first, she looked innocent like any other soft human on the Citadel.
"The cute ones are the deadliest." Zaeed cut in still impressed as both of their criminal records began running through at considerable speed.
"We do not need to have these kind of people on the ship Shepherd." Jacob spoke up.
"This is just the kind of people we need." Shepherd spoke earning him nods of agreement from a number of others within the room. "ETA Joker?"
"3 Hours Commander."
"Garrus. Thane." Both nodded in agreement, "We will to Purgatory. The rest of you back to your stations. EDI monitor Purgatory once we land, this is either going to be a nice walk in the park, or we are just going to be walking straight into a floating hell."
