Commander Shepard stood in her room looking over the contents of the datapad she was currently using to write her after action reports. The mission to Therum to find Liara had so many things going on she would hardly believe some the things she was writing if she hadn't been there and lived through it herself. Frustrated with having to write the report in the first place she tossed the datapad on the bed and got off her bed to go find something better to do with her time. She gave a quick wave to Kaidan as she left her quarters and made her way to the stairs leading to the navigation terminal.
She stepped onto the platform to look over the navigation systems when and emergency communications from the fifth fleet pinged on the interface. "Joker put him through!" The sound of Admiral Hacketts voice coming through the comms made her straighten her posture out of reflex. "Commander, I want to thank your for your help with the rogue VI, but unfortunately that's not why I'm calling, I need your help again. Like I said before, I know you're a Specter now but I'm gonna need that Alliance marine part of your for this mission Commander." Her brows furrowed in confusion at the Admiral's choice of words. The Alliance marine part of me? She couldn't help but think as she took in his words and tried to guess what he meant. "Of course sir! What's the mission?" She heard him let out a frustrated sigh before explaining her mission. " Shepard what do you know of the rumours around the Ghost of War?" She couldn't have even tried to of hid the look of shock and confusion that washed a crossed her facial features. "Just the standard rumour every Alliance marine hears sir. He's an Alliance special forces recon expert, apparently so undetectable that he was able to sneak around a Turian ship for a month without ever being found. I heard he's an expert in death, so good in fact that he's died numerous times but always bounces back because the Grim Reaper is too afraid to take his sole in fear of what might happen. A soldier so deadly it would make a Krogan battlemaster shake with fear at the sight of him, but of course they're just rumours. Right sir?"
"Well Shepard, no they aren't rumours. This man does exist and he has done many task to earn that reputation. Shepard, I'm transferring him under your command. If you're gonna take down Saren, you're gonna need all the help you can get. I'm sending you the Navpoint of the location to meet him. He'll be waiting for you on the Citadel."
"Sir just a quick question, how will I know what he looks like? How am I supposed to find someone if I don't know what he looks like?" There was a chuckle on the other end of the line as she waited for a response. "You won't be able to find him. He'll find you. Goodbye Shepard." She stared up at the ceiling of the ship and hugged out a breath in disbelief. Figured the first human specter gets teamed up with the biggest Alliance legend who to most doesn't even exist, to everyone he was just a rumour told between soldiers when bored. " Joker get us to the Citadel." She walked back to her room with the thought of what her new member would look like plaguing her thoughts for the rest of the night.
