"Bunstun, the Cannibals are closing in! We need the data! Get to the console NOW!" yelled his partner from two floors below.
"I'm working on it! I have problems of my own right now!" yelled back Bunstun.
Just then another squad of Cannibals with a few Marauders closed in on his location and immediately began firing. Bunstun ducked behind the nearest cover, pulled out his Vindicator assault rifle and started to drain his thermal clips. He took down one last Marauder before he ran out of ammo. He then used a singularity to take care of the remaining gotten it! Come on up!" yelled Bunstun.
No answer came, just then a Brute charged around the corner and directly at Bunstun. Bunstun ducked and the Brute charged into the strong cables that held the floor leading to the power console up. They broke and the floor detached and fell down the tower, with Bunstun on it. He crashed onto the floor where his partner was supposed to be, Jed was dead with a huge hole in his chest.
"I'm sorry, old friend." said Bunstun, staring down at Jed's lifeless body.
His shields were down and he had no ammo, Bunstun grabbed his partners journal and tucked it in one of his pockets.
"Damn it, my partner's dead, my shields are down and I'm out of ammo! I need to get this data on the Reapers out intact, then I can decide what to do with it." said Bunstun
Bunstun threw himself behind cover just to be ready.
"Incoming transmission," announced Bunstun's suit.
"Patch it through." said Bunstun.
A hologram quickly configured in front of Bunstun, a hologram of a man in a suit, with graying hair and weird synthetic-like eyes.
"Ah, Bunstun, skilled man in combat and biotics known for taking data when he needs it, I believe we can help each other." said the man.
"No way, don't try to sweet talk me, I'm not going to listen to you just because you compliment me Illusive Man of Cerberus." said Bunstun.
"Now now my friend, we can work this out, you can trust me, for example take us working with Commander Shepard to defeat the Collectors, which must we worth some recognition." said the Illusive Man.
"Yeah you did accomplish that and I'm not going to forget it, my brother was on a colony abducted by the Collectors, but anyway I already know what you want, the data stored here."said Bunstun.
"Smart man, yes that's what I want, I need that data, anyone else would just use it to destroy the Reapers but think about the big picture Bunstun the damage caused in this war is unthinkable, I would control the Reapers to fix that damage!" said the Illusive Man.
"Yeah right, you'd just fix humanity's damage and leave the other races in the dust and you know it, I do admit you have a point, anyone else wouldn't except that possibility, but if I'm going to even consider working with you, you must promise to use this data to help other species as well as humans, and I don't want to be a soldier of yours that just does your dirty work!" said Bunstun, even though he didn't feel certain about working with Cerberus, he had a good point, a point that the anyone else would never accept no matter what the argument.
"I see, I can't do that Bunstun, humanity deserves to be helped more than the other races of this galaxy," started the Illusive Man.
"Then I either destroy the data or hand it over to the Alliance or some other organization." said Bunstun.
"Fine, I will use it to aid the other species, just meet me at these coordinates, and if you try to transmit these coordinates to the Alliance or someone else powerful I will know and destroy them before they know of them, if they do mange to fall into others' hands I will be more than ready to deal with you. Besides just give me a chance Bunstun." said the Illusive Man.
"… We'll see… end communication." said Bunstun
The Illusive Man faded and Bunstun checked his radar, no enemies, he ran to the entrance of the fallen base and ran to his well hidden shuttle, jumping in he began to pilot it up to his ship, planning to go to Cerberus HQ after he stocked up on ammo.
