Months Later.

AN/ I thought this was a one shot... I was wrong.

Well I'm back from my unsuccessful mission to capture the first human spectre. First he escapes from his trial, then Shepard and my partner get captured by the batarian military. Worst of all, it turns out Shepard wasn't crazy and there really is a race of advanced ships from out side the galaxy that want to do some massive genocide on the Milky Way.

That's not even the worst part! One of those Reaper things opened up a portal to dark space using the many mass relay's that surround Arcturus as a focus point and now dozens of Reapers are all over the galaxy. Oh and I lost my ship blowing one of those giant cuttlefish up.

After all that the council sends Shepard to fight these things, Cerberus, the Alliance and the Council are all "reaping" for a lack of a better word, the benefits of some base beyond the Omega four in the Terminus and my ship is now rubble in Earth's orbit. The council sent me back to Garvug. Apparently the war is over and the spectre that took my place there found evidence regarding some thing the late Haliot Wrund found.

That spectre was Lonar Maerun and his salarian assistant Urjon Talts. I was aboard his ship, we were in the mess hall of a turian frigate that had long been retired. From the rusted bulkheads and the flickering lights I see why. He invited me to talk about what he discovered, but instead was badgering me with questions about "that human that put me in the hospital" .

"Is it true he escaped twice and tossed you into orbit around Omega?" He asked, excited to hear of my run ins with the most famous human in the galaxy.

"No but I did get tossed through a wall and I ran my ship through a dreadnought." I answered, more annoyed than anything.

"How's your human child spectre Raina?" Urjon politely asked.

Ah yes Yui the apple of my eye, my thirteen year old who I'm sure isn't supposed to be flying star ships, but I have her doing it anyway. I must be breaking a law somewhere. "At my house on Thessia, with more money than she needs."

That caused a look of surprise on the salarian. "Your letting her stay home alone light years away and in control of your finances!"

I shrugged, I didn't say that but sure why not. "Yep. She'll probably buy a ship."

The salarian shook his head in disapproval. "Well that's interesting but..."

I cut him off. "What do you have Maerun?"

"The corps here on Garvug started this war over a cache of prothian tech."

Not a suprise. When the krogan first colonized this rock they stripped it of most of its resources. "That makes perfect sense."

"They lied to the council and Lira Speight was behind it all!" Maerun growled, making his salarian flinch in surprise.

"So what." I answered, not in the least bit swayed. "Humans do that all the time. I find my self doing it, often when the council wants someone alive." Accidents happen.

"I think what my turian friend is saying that an example must be made." Urjon added.

Maerun took a deep breath that appeared to calm him down. "Speight is on Dhazil."

"Ah so assassination is the plan."

"Me and Taltz are going to Dhazil to take care of Speight." The turian explained. "If we make an example of the corporations best admiral, they'll play ball with the council."

Awful plan. It sounds like some teenager who plays too many video games is writing this fic. "That sounds like a plan!" A terrible one. "But I think I'll sit this one out."

Maerun's eyes narrowed. "I'd have thought you'd enjoy the fight."

"Well its been a long trip, I'm still recovering from ejecting my self from my escape pod while going into FTL..."

"I understand. Even the great Raina Howlit needs rest sometimes."

"What you said!" I'm fine actually. I'm just not going on this hair brained (or in the case of this turian) bone headed mission. "Good luck and much glory to you!" It'll turn into a mess... very, very quickly. What if one of them have a weapons malfunction and get barbecued incineration style?

"Get some rest on the ship." He gestured his salarian companion. I get the feeling my instincts are correct and something hilariously bad will happen. But hey maybe I'm wrong and I miss out on a grand adventure.

Hours Later:

The death of a salarian enforcement agent on planet Garvug is causing a stir among Council watchers and Sonax stockholders alike. Sources close to Sonax commander Lira Speight allege that Spectre Lonar Maerun made an attempt on Speight's life and was wounded by her security. Maerun's assistant died, shot after a weapon malfunction left him vulnerable. Sonax officials allowed journalists to view but not photograph a charred salarian body they claim is Urjon Taltz, Maerun's companion.Speight herself did not appear at the press conference, and spokesperson Victor Cohen attempted to assuage reporters, saying the Sonax board was "looking into" complying with the Citadel Council, but added that, "the law clearly states that we are in the Terminus Systems, and their act of aggression goes beyond any legal attempt to solve this matter."

I thought so.

AN/ Well that's the end of this one. There might be two more chapters tops. This should hold me over until that beta of mine gets back to me. Anyway what do you think of this OC of mine and how I'm using the CDN to help tell this tale?

Please review if you so please.
