"This is PATHETIC!"
Aria threw the data pad at the Batarian. She didn't come this far to be kicked out of the game now. It doesn't matter if the man uses the info or not. Its the fact that this dumbass was stupid enough to hand it out. She stood and planted her fist straight into the guards face. The Batarian collapsed with shout of agony. Aria stepped on his open palm, making him scream more.
"I don't know who the hell this idiot is but I want him dead. Do you understand?"
She twisted his hand under her shoe.
"Y-Yes! please...I have a family!"
Her foot collided with his face and he let out a groan. She motioned to the Turian beside the entryway. He picked up the Batarian clumsily, dragging him across the floor and out of the room. Aria watched from her window as the guard pushed him out of the doors of Afterlife. This is what happens when you fuck up on Omega. You're left to die in the slums, wallowing in your own self-pity. There are no second chances. Danger lurks in every corner. It's what makes Omega so wonderful. There is no intergalactic law, no regulations, not even polics. Only Aria herself has guards and they refuse to take orders from anyone else. Omega is a free place where the guilty can rest and where crime doesn't matter. Con men, thieves, even murderers enjoy Omega's hospitality. You piss off somebody here and your done for.
And that's exactly why this man was going to die. Aria never minded Bounty Hunters or other people looking for trouble with the locals, but this Turian? He's pissing off more than just the Blue Suns. Every Mercenary group alive wants his head.
And that god damn doctor too. So many people trying to get in to the quarantine zone, always wasting time trying to save those pathetic weaklings. Not to mention Patriarch's issue. And there's also the arrival of the dead Spector to worry about.
Commander Shepard.
Aria sat on her sofa with her legs crossed, contemplating. What does he want here? Entertainment maybe? Or perhaps he is looking for someone? Don't know, don't care. As long as he doesn't fuck with Aria then does it matter? She motioned to the returning guard. He leaned in and she gave him the orders. He left without a word. They never speak, there's no reason to.
"They're here my queen."
She smiled slightly at the word 'Queen' as she waited for Shepard and the rest of his squad. Aria was going to give the Spector the official welcome to Omega. She'll play along as long as he abides by the one and only rule. If he causes a stir, the locals might get anxious, and things might get heated. The citizens will attack the Commander and the Commander will have no choice but to fight back. The problem fixes itself.
But if he's here for Aria, then she needs a plan. Shepard could already have info all because one lousy ass guard. Aria doesn't like to dirty her hands if it's avoidable so she tends to leave her personel to deal with any loose ends. Every once in awhile they're stupid enough to slip up, sometimes giving the enemy the upper hand. A lot of people want Aria dead, even the slightest bit of info could mean an overthrow of her position. Unfortunately, she would be losing a valuable guard today, and that guard would be losing his life.
Sometimes Aria would look back at everything she's done, all of the lives she's spoiled. When her name is spoken, it's said with pure and undeniable fear. It makes her wonder if it's possible to be a better person, be someone who saves lives instead of making them.
Someone like Commander Shepard.
Aria brushed the thought away. She is who she is. Life isn't about protecting others, it's about survival. Whoever ends up the most wealthy, whoever ends up the most powerful wins. Deluding yourself into thinking otherwise is just stupid. Which is exactly why that Batarian had to die. He gave valuable info to Cerberus, and that's something unforgivable.
How long before Shepard does the same thing? How long before he trys to seize control too? Whatever he's planning, Aria will ruin it. And by the time she has broken down the dead specter, the galaxy will know just how evil she really is.
