Alright, I know I said I didn't want to continue this, but I need to answer some of the people who left a review. (I answer all reviewers anyway)

Ventablack is so 'black' you can not tell depth, features, or anything like that from looking at it. Imo if you want to look into a black hole this is the closest your gunna get. For a stealth ship, and infact any other ship, this could be incredibly useful. If an enemy can not see a feature of your vessel, they can not shoot it, or determine what you're packing!

This is something which could happen in the right conditions, but how I've set up humans in this story, they are scared of aliens, and want anything but another first contact.

Yes, Yes I do. Thanks for that correction!

Wehey! A dedicated reader of my work! I have a few things on the go so I'm not likely to update this much unless I get people demanding it. Cheers anyway for leaving a comment!

Thanks for the comments. I chance to update every now and then, too many ideas for this floating in my head to ignore, but I do have other commitments at the moment.

Shepard is not an alien, and her only interaction with alien's before today occurred when she was forced to scare off some Quarian scouts when they ventured just a little too close for comfort to a colony world. Despite her lack of interaction with aliens, she recognises the look in the eyes of the blue creature at seeing the holographic ship that is guarding the relay.

Garrus squints slightly, are these humans completely unaware of the war going on in the galaxy at the moment? He finds it hard to believe because as much as he hates to admit it, the Reapers are all knowing about the species that inhabit the galaxy, and in some twisted way, the artificial monstrosities could be seen as their galaxy's guiding figure, having provided them with a path of technology to develop. So Garrus is confident the Reapers know where they hide, and what the humans are capable of, so he is surprised the Reapers haven't appeared on their doorstep to 'reap' their species already.

Garrus studies the humans face before answering its question, and due to its uncanny similarities to an Asari he can not help but scrutinise it the same way he would an Asari, and unfortunately, it is proving hard to read. After a moment's silence, he says, "We call them Reapers, the entire galaxy are at war with them."

This news causes Shepard to raise a brow in curiosity, what could cause the entire galaxy to go to war with these 'Reapers', or is this just the council attacking another species they found, like humanity, but this species fought back instead of hiding? After thinking some, Shepard says, "Not the entire galaxy, but why are you at war? Did your council start it with an unprovoked attack?"

Garrus did not miss the reference to the short war waged against the humans, "Our species conflict was a misunderstanding."

"I fail to see how invading an unknown species colony after an unprovoked attack by yourselves can be written off as a misunderstanding. Now I asked a question."

It quickly dawns on Garrus that he should not linger on the Contact War, it is evident these humans blame them entirely for it, which from reading the files Liara gathered relating to the war, he can not blame them for. "To answer your question, they have a vendetta against intelligent biological life, and return to our galaxy to eradicate it every 50,000 years."

Shepard raises another brow as she tries to work out if the Turian is lying or not before nodding, "Very well. You have 12 Hours to leave human space." Without another word more Shepard turns on her heels and starts to walk back down her human walled corridor while putting her black helmet back on.

"Wait," Garrus shouts after her, "We do not know the boundaries of human space."

Shepard stops on the spot to reply, but she does not turn around to face the Turian. "Return through the relay you used to enter this space."

"My ship is damaged," Garrus protests, knowing Tali can not fix the ME capacitors in time. "We can not use a relay."

"That is not my problem. You have 12 hours, Spectre."

"And what of the Reaper?"

Shepard did not reply as she continues to leave the hanger, and after she left, the other humans start to file out of the hanger bay in a mannerly order. With a face bare of emotions, Garrus returns to the Avian and closes the airlock behind him. "Thoughts?" He asks Liara as the crew move out of their way, relieved that they are not going to have to fight for their ship.

"I think we are stuck between a rock and a hard place. I do not question we are in danger if we do not do as the human demanded, but without ME capacitors, I do not see how we can do so. In my belief, we should set our ship towards Council space, and make repairs on the way, only to return and use the relay when Tali has finished repairs."

"And risk running through human territory trying to reach Council space?" Asks Garrus of her.

Liara blinks, "I do not believe the human wants to kill us; it would not have set us free if that was the case."

"Maybe not," The Turian replies, "A ship of this size is in all probability more than capable of incinerating us, why risk losing men by boarding if it could just blow us up?"

"For technology, and a council craft. Yes, they may have accessed our computers and downloaded our data banks, but that does not mean they have cracked the encryption on certain files. Taking this ship is the logical thing for the human to do if that is her goal."

"Hmm," Garrus thinks before asking the ship's intercom, "Tali, how are engines?"

"Barely holding... No you Boshtet! Leave it to me, or you will kill us all... Sorry, as I was saying, they are barely holding together. Core ship-wide systems will soon be powered and ready for use."

Hearing a loud 'clunk' Garrus's mandibles flare, arriving in an observation deck and looking out the window he finds that his ship is once more in space, the Human vessel is now nowhere to be seen. "Tali, prioritise sensors, I need to know where that Reaper is, and now."

15 mins later

Garrus and a few others crowd around a terminal as sensor readings start to come in, and when the first readings are displayed everyone takes a collective sigh. The Reaper has gone in the completely wrong direction looking for them and does not show any signs of turning back yet for them, as their ship is probably still far too cold for the Reaper to detect.

"Chirper, I want you to set a course for Council space at the slowest speed you can, I want us as cold as possible for as long as possible, so we have longer to run." Tali's estimates say it will be 4 hours before the Reaper will detect their heat signature. "Meanwhile, I have a call to make, if anyone needs me I'm getting QEC online."

40 mins later

Finding his way into the QEC Garrus takes a breath before selecting the Turian Councillor, but as power levels are so low the QEC can only handle voice at the moment. "Councillor Sparatus," Garrus starts after securing the room and connection from any possible snoops.

"Garrus Vakarian," The voice of Sparatus is heard, "I have little time, so make it quick,"

Garrus pauses slightly before continuing, "I've been in contact with the humans."

"Humans?" Asks the Councillor, there is then a small break before Sparatus continues, "The species from 314?"

"Yes." Confirms Garrus.

"Now this is unexpected, what do they have to say?"

"Unsurprisingly they blame us for the first contact war, other than this they requested information regarding the Reapers; I do not believe the humans are aware of them or their goals, sir."

"Have you been able to determine any of their ambitions?"

"Other than turning us away from their space, no sir."

There is a slight pause before the voice on the other end of the QEC asks, "Any other thoughts?"

"One." Says Garrus, "I'm forwarding you my location in case we go dark, Reaper on our tail. Also the ship we interacted with equals the destiny ascension in size, and in my opinion, the humans could be valuable allies in the war against the Reapers. It may be justifiable to introduce the Reapers in this space and..." Before Garrus could finish Tali bolted into the room and cut the connection, and Garrus turned to her with a very puzzled look.

"What did you say?" Demands Tali, she seems flustered.

"What is going on, Tali." Returns Garrus annoyed that she has interrupted this communication with the Councillor.

"Everything is wrong." Tali tells him, "The ship is too quiet, some ship systems too functional, the engines are not responsive enough despite their damage, and I just entered this room. Something here is very wrong." Tali should not have been able to enter the QEC when Garrus is talking to a Councillor.

Garrus mandibles start to move as he thinks, he knows the ship was hacked, but he had some software engineers purge the systems to fix this as soon as system returned to their control, "What are you thinking?"

Tali breathes out before saying, "I feel that this is all a complex simulation."

"Spirits." Replies Garrus as he goes over his last conversation with Sparatus, if the humans listened to that, or even if that was a human in disguise...

Meanwhile

"Gigs up." Shepard sighs from her seat in front of many terminal panels watching the Turian vessel in her cargo hold; she could see through every camera onboard the ship, and listen from any microphone. She knows of everything said, especially the Turians conversation with 'Councillor Sparatus' who's real name is EDI . "Well done for fooling them for so long, EDI."

EDI has been in every system aboard the Avian, simulating its onboard systems as the crew did their things. It challenged her to her computational limits, but she did it. The trickiest part of the simulation was not having EDI replicate everything the ship would do, but rather fooling the crewmates inside the ship into thinking they were actually in free space. When Shepard pulled the Avian into their docking bay, they placed intricate panels over the Avians windows in utter darkness so that they could fool anyone looking out a window that they were in space and not the hanger bay. "Thank-you, commander."

"Patch me into their intercom, and lift the curtains, show them exactly where they are." This allows the Avian crew to see they are still in the Hangar bay.

"Done."

Before speaking to the crew of The Avian Shepard sighs, and then says, "Garrus Vakarian, I hereby take you and your crew into custody to stand trial for conspiring against humanity. Prepare to be boarded." This warning is all Garrus and crew get before the Avians Airlock opens and an entire garrison of humanity's finest warriors storm the ship.

As Shepard watches her armed crew move through the Turian ship on the monitors in front of her with a ruthless efficiency that the Avian crew can not combat she is thankful that her plan has worked. Shepard has learned a lot from listening to the crew of the Avian, about the 'Reapers' and other little things, like how their ships work, their command structure, and capabilities. As soon as her teams have the ship under their control, Shepard makes a note to have every man and woman who stormed the ship have access to extra rations and entertainment tokens, something she knows they will be highly thankful for.

cheers.
