Chapter 1: The Dossier
The Illusive Man lighted his cigar just as Shepard appeared on the comm link behind him. ''Commander Shepard.'' he said, blowing the gray smoke out of his lungs. ''I just got word that Okeer is dead.'' Shepard looked at the floor and said. ''Yes. We couldn't get to him in time, but we found a krogan he genetically created in his lab.'' The Illusive Man turned around and stood up from his chair. ''I know, Miranda told me, he called himself Grunt. But that is not the reason I called you. I got a tip from an agent in the human embassy on Palaven telling me about someone who will be a great asset to your team. And don't worry, you'll feel right at home with him. He's a turian.'' Shepard crossed his arms. ''Where?'' Illusive Man drank his whiskey. ''Menae. He's Blackwatch, turian special forces. He's been stationed on Palavens moon for two months now and is eager to fight.''
The Illusive Man sat down and turned to the sun. ''I've already sent you the dossier. Find him and convince him to go with you. It'll be hard but I have fate in you. Good luck Shepard.''
Once the link was gone, Shepard turned around. ''EDI, tell Garrus to come up here. He needs to see this.'' A few minutes later Garrus walked into the room. He's armor was damaged in a gunship attack recently and he had a scar across he's right check. ''Shepard. You wanted to see me?'' Shepard handed him the dossier. Garrus picked it up and read it.

Garrus put the dossier on the table and looked at Shepard. ''Commander, are you serious about this, I mean, assault on a CO? You think he'll be able to control himself?'' Shepard answered him without hesitation. ''He's not afraid of dying and he's willing to fight. That's exactly what we need. I think The Illusive Man is right about this one, he's going to be a great addition to the team. But I wanted to ask you if you know him, if there's anything you can tell me about him.'' Garrus looked at Arruss's picture. ''Sorry, Shepard. Never met him.''
Garrus went back to the gun battery while Shepard went to Joker on the bridge. ''Joker, set a course to Menae. Where going to pick someone up.'' Joker smiled and responded. ''Aye, aye Commander. Setting a course to Menae.'' The Normandy approached the Mass Relay and got transferred to the Trebia System.
