Miraka was having a bad day first humanity just found out they had neighbours and said neighbours attacked without provocation, what was worse was to find out that they were a slaver race and took well over fifteen thousand people from Shanxi before humanity could move into position. The Last Riot was one of XCOMs ships it was a carrier class of ship it had plasma cannons and laser's on it along with some of the thickest Elrium plating they could get their hands on reinforcing the titanium with a diamond hard substance that the lab boys cooked up and engineering installed. This was a ship meant to be the last thing any alien saw before they died however, right now after following the one's called Batarians to another planet that housed another alien species being attacked by the Batarians, again the reason this was a bad day wasn't the fact the Batarians were slavers and they were grabbing everyone they could though that was part of it no it was the aliens aside from being blue and having tentacles for hair you would think they were human females. On one hand they were aliens on the other there was something appealing to the XCOM soldiers mostly the males.
"Ah Fucking Wanker load up and send our troops planet side to assist ground forces along with try and liberate any slaves that they come across wether they be ours or another aliens people." Miraka barked in her heavy british accent all the people looked at her briefly before her XO came up.
"Ma'am are you sure about this." Tily was a girl who spent most of her days down in the lab rather then out with people the irish born was rather nervous in big crowds.
"Now I know all you were looking at those women boys and girls think of it this way they might be really grateful to you and show there appreciation in some way, now I don't know how but I'm going to let all of you use your imaginations on this one." This had everyone in the bridge quiet true aliens weren't well liked but hey a man can dream of a gorgeous ET needing some loving.
"Well I am sold lets do it." Brig just announces to everyone who nod there heads in affirmation.
Things were looking up for the Hegemony what with finding of a new species and there current enslavement on one of their colony worlds hopefully there military was weak on there home world cause it was looking most profitable. Then they hit this asari world and it was beginning to look like a good day now that Balek thought about it that was before strange crafts came down.
The XCOM ships took after their old VTOLs with a much smoother surface like the Hellfire and enough guns to make trouble mass accelerated but still good enough in the eyes of an XCOM specialist. Getting off Brigs got his squad into position with him as the heavy, two supports, one assault and a sniper with the sniper already picking Batarians off one at a time. Brigs was a Colonel and was making full use of the extra grenades based on alien designs from the first Etheral war he had taken out six of the Batarians. The supports were already helping whatever civilians they needed while shooting at the Batarians making the squads tenth kill. The assault ran forward and began to put the Arc Cannon to use two more dead this was a good day in Brig's book he looked over to the nearest Asari and spoke. "Doubt you thought the cavalry would arrive didn't you now it's time to teach these X-Rays who they're messing with." He then turns on his comm. "Yo Command we're all good for an FOB you can start coming to the party."
"Alright but save some for us ya damned monkey." That was Santoz on the line another Colonel and a sniper.
"Hurry your ass up then."
Mika was honestly beside herself this was a first contact scenario with an alien species and here they were not only willing to fight the Batarians but, also were willing to protect Los Asha and offer medical attention by how the two other aliens one she believed was male the other female were tending to everyones injuries. "By the Goddess." Mika couldn't help herself.
"Something on your mind there sweet heart." Brig's looked over at the alien who was staring in awe at him. "Speechless yeah we kind of have that effect on people."
"Oh wait how can we understand each other."
"Simple answer we hacked your communications performed a bunch of science way above my pay grade and well there you have it, when we saw you in this pickle of a situation we thought what the hell why not help out the beautiful ET's, I'm Brig's by the way."
"I hope you brought an army with you otherwise we're not looking good."
"Sorry sweetheart we fight smart not with numbers not enough of us around to really fight like an idiot don't worry we're already setting up a hospital as a med centre the spaceport's got some heavy resistance but nothing we haven't faced before it'll take best estimate twenty or so minutes less time if we got some help from you."
"Oh, what wait now, I mean will you present yourselves to the council on the citadel."
"No unfortunately we're covert however we have some people who we told about the situation and they seem eager to meet your government us however we weren't even suppose to be here but we figured we could do some damage uh you won't say anything right."
Mika finally got a good look at Brig he was tall six four and was muscular as well had a scratch going done vertically across his left eye and another one on his cheek his skin was a dark brown to contrast how the others with him had a lighter skin shade. His armour was black with a module that let him cloak. The sniper had what looked like two Turbine engines on the back of her armour. The Assault with the supports had a armour that was pure white. The guns were different in design they looked like they took some from Mass accelerated tech in that the weapons had a cool down period however the weapons also fired a Green energy that seemed to disintegrate their enemies.
"Yeah no kidding okay we'll pull out." Brig's speaks into his omni-tool instead orange it was blue and had the logo Vigilo Confido on it. "Well sweetheart looks like the Alliance just got caught up to us so we have to beat feet before we're seen on the news or something also the Turians should be here in a few minutes so take care of yourself." With that a strange looking ship came down and opened it's ramp up to admit the entrance of the members of XCOM force before taking off with the civilians begging them not to leave however not five minutes later did they leave did the Turians show up and they were greeted by the sight of a new species calling themselves humans they used Mass Accelerated tech, guns, and shields. 'That first group must be using illegal tech because these humans seem like all other Council species.
At the Citadel
"Well I must admit for first contact that is definitely different who would have thought we'd be meeting a new species one that just helped repel a Batarian slaver operation." Tevos glances at the photos taken of the battle with Brig's squad providing cover and support for the civilians.
"Hm they seem pretty well equipped and are smarter then one would think with how they used their ships." Sparatus was admiring how they managed to disable the guns then took out two of the three slaver ships engines leaving them dead in the water for the Turians to come and release the Batarians ill gotten gains.
"Their Technology is surprisingly advanced." Valern was looking at picture of one one of the aliens a female by appearances that had black hair a blindfold on with Armour that was samurai orientated but was tighter fitting and hugging her athletic frame with a diato in her right hand in reverse grip a Quarian managed to get a picture of her and made copies of it with the caption "See No Evil."
"The Batarians have broken citadel law though and must be punished, however that can wait until we meet the new species." Tevos spoke up gaining the affirmative of her two other councillors this was exciting to say the least. 'I wonder what there cultures like.'
'I wonder about this technology they have developed' Valern was thoughtful.
'I wonder what there military is like.' Sparatus looked at the amount of damage to the enemies the new arrivals did as well as keep casualties down to minimum good in his books.
