MASS EFFECT: n7 With Pride
Chapter one: Commander Arc
" Admiral, sir, the commander has just left the SSV Congo." Admiral Kim Nichoals stared down at her omni tool, wondering why no one had bothered to tell her until now. She turned to her XO, Captain Liam " Well, I suppose that we'll be hearing more of his work, after all N7 operatives can't stayed tied down to one ship." She said this knowing it was a lie, N7 operatives can be stationed to operate from one ship, or planet side base. And most do, however Commander Arc was not like most people. "Liam, can you call Jonah in for me? I would like to speak to him." " Yes Ma'am."
Liam left the room, leaving Nichoals alone in the room, with a snicker. "I'll be damned, trained like a Soldier yet has stealth skills to rival any expert Infiltrator. Guess i lost the bet." The Admiral had made a bet with Arc on whether he could sneak out or if she would have to grant him clearance. After 6 weeks on the SSV Congo, he won the bet.
"Well, well Admiral Kim! to what do I owe the honour of your summons?" Sergant Jonah Arc, was 34, well built, and a brilliant Engineer, one of the best in the Alliance. Jonah took a bow to his commanding officer. " Jonah, it's about your brother." " What did my baby brother do this time?" Jonah was acting innocent, but with a large grin on your face, it's hard to play coy. "Well he left the ship with clearance, stole a shuttle, and not a single person saw him. And seeing as your an Engineer, and the shuttle he took was one you were working on, i wondered if you hand something to do with it." His grin grew wider. "Your accusations are false Kim, I had-" suddenly the communications officer walked in. "Admiral, we had a comm channel open with Commander Arc, he said he'd call back later, in about 4 hours, shall we try to get him back on the line?" Nichoals sighed and shook her head. "No, give him 4 hours then i'll personally get ahold of him." The comm officer scowled and with a tone of annoyance, agreed and left. Jonah whistled. "Damn, I guess grumpy there doesn't like that your in charge." Nichoals nodded, it was her age that was the problem. At 27, she was younger than half the crew and one of the youngest admirals in the entire Alliance fleet.
"So Jonah, did your brother ever tell you where he planned on heading?" "No, i asked, he said wherever the Alliance sends him to, which by the way you may want to tell them you 'provided' him a shuttle, just to be safe." "Will do Jonah, don't worry, He's in no trouble." Suddenly a call was coming in. " Admiral Nichoals, Alliance command asked us to head Eden Prime, the SSV Normandy is there assisting in Planetary evacuation of the colony. We are to back them up, as well as transport the surviving colonists as the Normady heads for the Citadel." "Roger that Liam, take us there." "Aye aye." Nichoals turned to face Jonah. He smiled. "Guess we know where they are sending my brother."
