Activation
Chapter 1: The Mission
When I, Maxine Carter, was fourteen a group of Batarian Slavers killed my parents, leaving me alone. A year later I traveled to the Migrant Fleet, I hoped the Quarians would foster a lone wolf like me. Once my ship, the MSV Jetu, I was greeted by a Quarian named Quen. She helped me talk to Admiral Raffs; soon I gained the exact location of the Batarian Slavers. They were meeting The Shadow Broker at Hagalaz.
I dashed down the corridor, carrying a Volkov Sniper Rifle, ready to kill anyone that moved. One of the Batarian Slavers jumped into range. One shot, that was all it took. Quen had two of them at her Sokolov Shotgun's barrel. Then there leader, Opuszu the Pain, arrived carrying a Terminator Assault Rifle on his back; he also wore a battle scared Light Silverback Armor stolen from a murdered Turian.
"Speak human scum why do you disturb my meeting?" Opuszu demanded. A scour face appeared on his withered face.
"To repay bloodshed you cast upon me!" I declared, not even caring to notice the Slaver reinforcements surrounding Opuszu.
"Child you are here, I'm here, and one of us must die." Opuszu casually remarked.
"Ok, then allow me." I cockily replied blasting a hole in his brain. It was the little red sight pleasantly dancing over his frontal lobe that pleased me quite so.
By now twenty Slavers circled Quen and me, savage, ready to kill us both. Then quickly thinking Quen shot a gaping wound it one's rib, grasping it for a second then the Slaver collapsed. She sprinted to the Docking Bay, knocking down Slavers in the way; I tailed right behind her. Then I shot a gas pipe and anyone left behind us might as well have jumped out of the airlock.
Finally we reached our ship. Without a second of doubt Quen jumped aboard. I noticed a Salarian huddled in a corner holding a data pad. Quickly, knowing he was not with the Slavers I lunged forward grabbing his arm and helped him into the ship. We then launched out into space.
"What's your name?" I kindly asked the Salarian.
"I'm Patal, madam." He announced very modestly; bowing too.
"What is in that data pad Patal?" I questioned.
"Oh this is just a mission the Slavers had with them. I had been forced to kill one to get it. Amazing how his skull cracked so easy." Then he began ranting on about the chances of that clean a kill being one in a thousand.
"What was there mission?" I pressed on.
"It was about some Geth craft or something, hard to remember, now if you asked a Drell they'd give you an exact replica of the whole…"He began.
"But I didn't I asked you!" I pointed out beginning to get aggravated.
"Oh, yes, well it was about activating a whole Geth army of sorts."He finally announced almost laughing at thought. Unfortunately the look on Quen and my face didn't match his pure elation and hilarity.
