The Beacon
M78Y234; Federation Service Vessel (FSV) Normandy (Rome class Prowler), Colony world Eden Prime, Imperium/UTF/Cyveron controlled:
"[Colonel Shepard, report to the Mission briefing room.]" The intercom blared.
Adriana 'Ria' Shepard groaned as she covered her head with her pillow. The Orbital Assault Insertion Commando tried to go back to sleep, only for her friend and teammate, Nyx Skulker, smacked Ria with one of her wings. The Colonel got up and glared at the Neron, who smiled back. Ria sighed before looking over at their other teammate, a Cyveron named Raptor.
"Would you not get your feathers on my bed?" Ria said as she wiped her cot clear of Nyx's black feathers.
"Then wake up when we're called ma'am." Nyx said as she stopped laughing. "You hear about the supposed Turian aboard?"
Ria and Raptor instantly stopped what they were doing and looked at the Neron. The two looked at each other and then back again.
"No…stow away?"
"Nah, you don't need to kill him…yet."
"…Alright then. Now let's go check up on Eden Prime."
"Briefing Room first." Raptor said as he switched his left arm into a flame thrower and back.
"Armor up and grab you gear." Ria said. "I have a feeling things are about to get interesting."
The three OAICs changed into their armor and grabbed their weapons before leaving. They jogged to the Briefing Room and waited for the door to open. When it did, Ria instinctively reached for her pistol, but stopped herself quickly.
"Don't kill him. Wasn't ordered to." Ria thought as she glared at the black and red armored Turian.
"Ah, Colonel Shepard. I was hoping to talk to you." The Turian, a Council SPECTRE said.
"What do you want?" Ria asked as she walked into the room with her team.
"I was wondering about this colony we're going to. I've heard Eden Prime is quite beautiful."
"Enough of the small talk, you should know by now I don't like you."
"Right. I was wondering, is it truly safe?"
Ria instantly pulled out her PCAP3.
"If that's a threat, your life ends now." She said as Nyx and Raptor also had their guns out.
"It is not, merely a question. Humanity is still relatively new to the galactic community. Are you truly ready to defend your colonies?" The Turian asked, hiding his nervousness well.
"Let's think back here." Nyx said as Ria holstered her pistol, quickly followed by the others. "Humanity and her allies are currently in their 78th millennium while for the council it is only 2183. Now let's think back again, do you remember what happened to the Turian group that attacked Humanity on third contact? You know, the guys who were completely destroyed even though they're the 'strongest military in the galaxy'? No? Well I just reminded you of that. Humanity, the Imperium, and the Cyverons can handle themselves."
"I am just making a point."
"No, you tried and failed to make a point."
"Okay Captain, I think you've hurt his pride enough." Captain David Anderson said as he walked in.
"Hey Dave." Ria said as she crossed her arms.
"Now that we're all here, let's get to the point. Recently, archeologists on Eden Prime found a new Prothean Beacon." Anderson said.
"Like the Archives on Mars?" Ria asked.
"Yes. We don't need them so UTF command decided we would pick it up for the Council as a way of saying no hard feelings."
"For being superior to you." Nyx added.
"Play nice with the Turian, he's here to pick up the Beacon."
"He's its escort? Then why are we here?" Ria asked.
"For this." Anderson said before bringing up a vid.
It began playing and the five people watched as several UTF Militia forces and Imperium Guardswomen fired their weapons at unknown targets. Suddenly a small squad of UTF Planetary Army soldiers came into view.
"[Get down!]" A woman in the video shouted at the camera man. "[This is Sergeant Major Ashley Williams of Eden Prime Planetary Army Third Platoon Second Squad. Eden prime is under attack by unknown forces. Requesting reinforcements.]"
Before anything else could be said, a loud horn type sound was heard. Williams and the cameraman looked up to see…something heading down towards the planet. The cameraman watched the object for another second to get a clear view of it before returning to shooting the unknowns. The vid then cut off.
"What the hell was that?" Raptor asked.
"Looked like a giant metal squid." Nyx said.
"…Now I'm craving calamari, thanks a lot Nyx." Ria said jokingly.
The Neron laughed before looking back at Anderson. Ria kept a straight face and turned to the Starfleet officer.
"So, we're on a Recon and Rescue Op?" Ria asked.
"Correct. I want you and your team in the hanger now. Nihlus is going with you, no arguments. Getting the Beacon is his mission and the easiest way to do that is to go with all of you." Anderson said, getting a groan from the three OAICs.
"Fine. You better keep up bird brain." Ria said.
"Captain, I move faster on-…"
"Our Op, our ship, our planet. You do what we say, when we say, how we say, am I clear?" Ria ordered, sounding like a Drill Sergeant.
"I'm a Council Spectre, if need be I don't have to-…"
"Try it, and we'll count it as an act of war, and you don't want that now do you?" Ria asked with a smile. "You do what I say, when I say, how I say, got it?"
"…Fine, but after this, you and I are going to-…"
"Spectres get to break laws and rules. I have a nice habit of shooting people that do that until they don't get up. Do you want me to show I haven't changed?"
The Turian looked at the slightly shorter woman in shock. He also finally noticed her eyes.
"You know your eyes aren't the same color, right?" Nihlus asked as Nyx and Raptor rapidly moved their heads back in forth in a 'don't say it' motion while Anderson sighed. "Perhaps you should see the doctor before the mission?" He said in genuine concern.
The next thing Nihlus saw were stars and unending darkness. Several minutes later, he woke up inside what looked like a sleep pod to him. He looked out to see Ria, Raptor, and Nyx climbing into similar pods.
"Got it, Shep." Two of the OAICs said.
"Now, in your pods." She turned to Nihlus. "Bird Brain, you'll refer to us be our call signs and nothing else from here on, understood?"
"Yes ma'am." Nihlus replied.
Ria smiled as her pod sealed and moved into launch position. A countdown started and her grin widened.
" 'Helljumper, helljumper, where you been?' " Ria sang.
"['Feet first into hell and back again.']" The other two OAICs responded as the pods were shot from the ship and towards the ground.
Ria laughed as she listened to Nihlus' screams of terror. Raptor groaned at the annoying sound.
"[Shep, could you mute his coms until we get down there?]" The robot asked.
"Sorry Cazador, no can do. We need to know if he dies on impact." Reaper replied.
"[Just ignore it man.]" Spectre said.
"[Are you able to?]"
"[Touché.]" The Neron replied.
"Impact in three…two…one…ZERO!" Reaper shouted as the pods hit the ground and opened.
Reaper jumped out of hers, rifle in hand before turning to see Nihlus spill out of his and go puck behind a bush.
"Cazador, you owe me 50 creds." Spectre said.
"Damn." Cazador replied as he transferred the funds to Spectre.
"Cut the chatter. You hear that?" Reaper asked as she heard the sound of micro drones flying towards them.
She turned to see several energy rounds impact her shields and slightly drop them.
"Enemy drones!" Reaper shouted as she fired her PCBR3 at them.
The bullets hit and instantly destroyed the drones as the plasma around them caused the drone's shields to not exist. Or at least, gave the appearance of that. The plasma shell around the bullets destroyed the drone's shields by overloading them while the shell and bullet remained intact. Ria smiled as several more drone's appeared.
"Target practice Shep?" Raptor asked.
"What are Geth doing here?" Nihlus said as he fired his shotgun at the drones.
"The fuck are Geth?" Spectre asked as she unfurled her wings and flew into the air.
"The reason why the Council doesn't like that humanity uses AIs."
"[And you wonder why the Cyverons deemed it easier to hide the fact that you're robots.]" Reaper said over a secured line.
"[I get it, they don't like AIs.]" Cazador said. "[Can we focus on shooting…wait…what the hell am I saying? I'll just hack them.]"
With that, the Cyveron's data pad activated and the lights of the drones suddenly turned red. They instantly stopped shooting and Nihlus looked at the Cyveron soldier in shock.
"How did you do that?" The Turian asked.
"Expert hacker."
"Obviously." The Turian stated, as if it was the universes biggest understatement.
"[Of course even hackers lose control eventually. Leave them under your control for to long and he'll suspect something.]" Spectre said as she stabbed her knife into an unhacked drone several times.
"Overkill much?" Shep asked.
"THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS OVERKILL!" The Neron shouted in response.
"…Cazador…did you spike her coffee again?" Reaper asked.
"…Maybe." The Cyveron said as the slit visor helmet on Reaper's head didn't stop staring at him.
"Nah, this is normal overkill me." Spectre replied as she holstered her PCIUs and pulled out an Imperium Scout Energy Blade.
The katana like blade glowed white as Spectre activated it. The OAIC laughed before slicing the drones apart. This caused a groan from Cazador as he had just hacked them.
"Well…it was impressive while it lasted." Nihlus said in disappointment.
"[…-nyone on-…-ri…-IC.]" Their coms buzzed.
"Cazador, clean this up." Reaper ordered.
"[…-nyone on this frequency? Hello?]" A female voice asked, one the three OAICs recognized.
"Yukari?" Reaper asked.
"[Shep? Nice to hear a friendly voice. Listen, my tank's stuck. I could use some back up; I'm almost out of shells.]"
"On our way."
"[Hurry up or you'll only find a dead body.]" Yukari said before cutting coms.
"Let's move!" Reaper shouted as the group started running towards the sound of a tank firing.
A minute later and the group found a M3A2 Abrams Light Battle Tank, its left side inoperable, firing at a horde of Geth soldiers. Around the tank were the corpses of multiple Militia soldiers. All of them had slight burns around small bullet like wounds.
Reaper looked back at the tank just as another shell fired. The OAIC ran up and got on the tank's turret before firing. The tank's top door then opened and a human in Imperium Canoness armor with a Range Repeater and a Repeater Carbine climbed out. She was quickly followed by a Seron in Canoness armor lifting up a Heavy Range Repeater.
"No more shells?" Shep asked as the Geth Horde got closer.
"That was my last one." The human, Yukari, said.
"We'll be fine." Cazador said as a sniper round flew a millimeter away from hitting his head. "And I forgot to turn on my shields."
"Wow, great job Caz, it's not like those are important or anything." The Seron, Seras Elizabeth, said.
"Shut up." The Cyveron replied.
Seras rolled her eyes before going prone and firing the HRR at the approaching Geth. Several fell from the well placed shot as more walked forward. Seras turned a dial on the side of the HRR and fired again. This time the laser created an explosion when it hit. More Geth fell as Seras fired again before reloading. The Seron looked through the scope and saw a larger, red Geth running towards them.
"Big one, incoming." Spectre said from next to Seras.
The two fired their sniper weapons at the large Geth and watched as it exploded as the remaining Geth ran.
"We need to get to the Beacon." Nihlus said.
"What's with the Bird Brain?" Yukari asked.
"Council Spectre. He's here for the Beacon."
"Build bridges right?"
"Never know when you might need them."
"Anyways, the Beacon is being guarded by a…Sergeant Major Ashley Williams." Yukari said while staring at Nihlus.
"Why are you staring at me?" The Turian asked.
"Um…did you know someone drew on your face with Sharpie?" The Imperium soldier asked.
"What?" Nihlus said before grabbing a shiny, and reflective, Geth chest piece to look at himself.
In black ink on his face were a mustache and goatee, glasses, and the words 'Nyx was here.' His eye twitched as he looked at the offending Neron, who tried to look innocent while wearing combat armor. He sighed before looking over at the now six soldier strong group.
"Colonel, I think it would be better for us to split up for now." Nihlus said.
"Reasoning?" Reaper asked.
"We'll be able to get both our objectives done at a faster speed."
"…Alright, who'd go?"
"I'd take Cazador and Yukari with me and the others go with you."
"…Alright. I'll go with that for now, good luck."
"See you when the mission is complete Shep." Nihlus said as he, Cazador, and Yukari started walking off.
Just before they got out of earshot, The Cyveron turned.
"He ain't to bad a guy when you think about it." The AI said.
"I know. It's the Spectres themselves I can't stand." Shep replied as the remainder of the team started moving.
The group walked for a bit, shooting at any Geth they found when Nihlus contacted them.
"[This is Blue team; we've run into what's left of a Militia squad. They got hit hard. The only one that was still alive told us that the Geth moved the Beacon.]"
"What do you mean by was?"
"[He died just after telling us that. I'm sorry Reaper, there was nothing we could do except make his end less painful.]" Nihlus said, sorrow evident in his voice.
"You did your best, you can't save them all." Reaper said. "Just get to the Beacon. Don't let their deaths be in vain."
"[Will do. Blue team out.]"
"No one says out anymore. Coms make a specific tone when the person is done talking completely." Spectre said.
"Not Council coms." Reaper corrected as they saw a single Planetary Army soldier, a Grunt, running from Geth.
The woman fired her Magnetic Acceleration Rifle mark 5, MAR5, at the Geth behind her as she dove into cover. She got back up and cradled the XM8 resembling weapon to her chest as multiple Geth rounds hit around her, barely missing.
Reaper instantly started firing her rifle at the Geth soldiers. The synthetics stopped firing at the Grunt and began firing at the Marine. Seras smirked before holstering her HRR and pulling out her Micro Gatlin Repeater. The multi-barreled MGR spun a few times before unleashing a storm of red bolts that flew towards the Geth. The Army Grunt nodded her head at Reaper and popped out of cover to help shoot the synthetics.
The four soldiers continued firing until the last of the Geth soldiers fell. Reaper walked up to the soldier and got her attention by tapping her shoulder. The Grunt looked up and depolarized her visor. The black colored, t-shaped visor turned clear and revealing a woman that looked like she had Latina blood in her.
"Sergeant Major Ashley Williams reporting ma'am." The Grunt said.
"Williams…you were guarding the Beacon. What happened?" Reaper asked.
"Those things ma'am. They pinned us down and killed my men."
"…Want payback soldier?"
"Hell yeah…ma'am."
"Then you'll be coming with us. Move out!" Reaper shouted.
The four soldiers moved towards the bottom of the hill they were near, seeing spikes with people stabbed on them. Reaper became more enraged at the sight, but kept moving. She heard a choking sound coming from Williams and knew what the problem the Grunt was facing was. A soldier's most important job is to make sure no harm ever comes to the people they are trying to defend, but seeing this made Williams believe she had failed in that duty.
"It's not your fault Williams, and there is no way in hell that every civilian on Eden Prime is dead." Reaper said.
The Grunt nodded before looking back at the corpses sadly once more. She turned back and polarized her visor. The four soldiers got to the bottom of the hill and instantly had Geth rounds flying towards them. Reaper rolled and brought her fist up into the Geth's 'chin.' She smiled as it fell back dead, only for that smile to disappear when a larger Geth charged towards her. She quickly pressed a button on her wrist and a synthetic voice spoke in her ears.
"[Exo online.]" It said as Reaper started fighting the robot in hand to hand combat.
Williams and Spectre looked at each other before following the Colonel's lead. Both activated their armors' built in Exos before charging the Geth. Seras sighed before putting away her MGR and pulling out an Imperium sword. She pressed a button on the weapon's handle and the blade became surrounded by a white energy. The Seron shouted once before joining the other women in a brawl against robots.
"Sooo…what's a Spectre's job exactly?" Yukari asked Nihlus.
"We stop threats to the Council mostly. Any other jobs we do are for our government or for personal things." Nihlus said, happy that at least one of them weren't openly hostile to him.
"So…you're like Imperial Saints only with fewer rules?"
"I was thinking more Federal Onyx Guard than Saint." Cazador replied before seeing something up ahead at the space port. "Is that a Turian?"
"…Saren?" Nihlus said in shock.
"Friend of yours?" Yukari asked.
"More or less. We need to find out why he's here."
Nihlus was about to head down when Cazador stopped him.
"I have a bad feeling. I'm going down with you while cloaked while Yukari waits here with her sniper."
"Why? Saren's a Spectre, he's an ally."
"Just trust me on this. My feelings are very rarely wrong. I can literally count the instances where I was wrong on one hand. And look at it this way, if I'm wrong, then Yukari can still help take out any Geth that attack us and your friend."
"…Alright. Watch our backs?" Nihlus asked, making it more of a request than an order.
"You got it…to bad you can't get the Sharpie off your face before you get down there."
"…Saren's never going to let me live this down." Nihlus said as Yukari went to a good sniping position and Cazador disappeared from sight.
Nihlus breathed in once before jogging over to where Saren was, his shotgun still ready. He got close to the ramp and slowed to a walk before calling to the other Turian.
"Saren." Nihlus called.
"Nihlus?" The other Turian asked shocked, at Nihlus' being here or his face, the Spectre couldn't tell.
"Don't ask." Nihlus said as he holstered his shotgun and walked up to Saren.
"[What the hell are you doing? Don't holster your gun.]" Cazador said over the coms.
"I thought I was the only one sent." Nihlus said as Saren shrugged off his shock before clasping his hands behind his back.
"The Council thought you could use some help on this one." Saren said as he walked behind the other Turian.
"Of course, but Geth? I didn't expect this."
"Don't worry." Saren said as he pulled out his pistol before pointing it at the back of Nihlus' head. "I have it all-…"
Saren was interrupted by his organic arm suddenly being severed from his body. He yelled in pain as he looked at the hovering splatters of blue blood. Cazador then decloaked and revealed himself, his left arm transformed into a blade, as Nihlus spun around and stared in shock at Saren's severed arm, which was still clutching the pistol. He then switched his blade into flamethrower mode.
"Need a light?" The Cyveron asked before sending a blast of fire at the Turian.
Saren rolled away as several Geth soldiers appeared to help him. Unfortunately, the Geth soldiers were quickly dropped by several bolts of red.
"It appears that you've been disarmed." Cazador said in amusement.
"Really?]" Saren, Nihlus, and Yukari said.
"What? I thought that was great."
"Who hired Umbrella workers?" Seras said in an annoyed voice as she killed another, recently named, Husk.
"I'm surprised you even know enough of what that is to make the reference." Reaper said as she pulled her knife out of another Husk's head.
"Um…I'm still stuck." Spectre said, her Exo-Enhanced armor struggling to pull her arm from the wall she had imbedded it in.
"I'll help her." Ashley said as several Repeater bolts were fired.
"Ash, get her out of that and you two look for survivors around here, I'll take Seras and see what's going on ahead." Reaper said as she and Seras started running towards where the sound had come from.
They climbed the hill and rounded to bend to see Yukari laying there with her Range Repeater out.
"FOR TANITH!" She shouted.
The Human woman fired again before Seras fake coughed to get her attention. Yukari turned to see her girlfriend and Reaper standing there. She smiled at them before looking back through her scope. What she saw made her groan.
"Some Turian just took off on a tram to another part of the Space Port." Yukari said as she got up.
"Yukari, Seras, go help Williams look for survivors. Send Spectre up to me, I'm following that Turian." Reaper said as the two women nodded.
Shep turned to look at the Space Port's ramp before being surrounded by a silver energy. She blinked and found herself at the ramp, the silver energy cascading off of her like water. She turned to see Nihlus standing there wide eyed. Shep laughed at that, realizing two things. One; Cazador was right about Nihlus not being so bad, and two; the Council races really hadn't seen human biotics in use yet.
"Was…was that biotics?" Nihlus asked.
"Yep." Reaper replied.
"But…they were silver, not violet."
"And I'm Human. Our biotics are a lot different from the ones you know."
Nihlus continued to stare at Reaper in shock until Spectre landed next to him. The Neron's black wings folded back against her body to where it looked like she never had them in the first place. Nihlus looked at her questioningly at that moment.
"You try to fight with wings spread, see how well that goes for you." Spectre said.
Nihlus shrugged, deciding that the four races he was currently working with were just weird, and pulled his shotgun back out.
"We need to get going." Reaper said as she jumped off the main platform and straight onto a lower one.
She looked up to see several Geth troopers standing there in shock that an organic would jump down to fight them at close range. The synthetic soldiers quickly got over their confusion and raised their rifles.
"Too late." Reaper said before swinging her are horizontally, creating a wave of silver energy that destroyed several of the synthetics.
Reaper's eyes behind her helmet were glowing silver, but only she knew that. All anyone else could see was a black, slit visor where her eyes were. The Human biotic laughed once before creating an orb of biotic energy and standing up. She took a pitcher's stance for a second before throwing the biotic orb towards the Geth. It hit the one in the middle of the group and disappeared just before a silver explosion happened. The remaining Geth turned towards Reaper as the OAIC teleported into the middle of them and released a blast of energy around herself. Reaper then stood up, her eyes still glowing and glared at the last Geth at the end of the tram. She then raised her glowing right arm and lifted the Geth into the air before crushing it like an aluminum can. She turned to the stairs to see the others heading towards her.
"Let's move." Reaper said.
"Um…right." Nihlus said as he and the other two OAICs followed Reaper.
Reaper walked over to the trams controls and Nihlus noticed the emblem on her upper back. It was of a human skull with two crossed scythes behind it. He looked at the other two OAICs and noticed they had emblems of their own. Cazador's had what looked like the skull of a wolf with a machine gun and flame thrower behind it with the words Cazador and Silencioso above and below the image, respectively. Spectre's was a cloaked specter drawing katana from its back with the words Gosli above and Rapax below the image. Nihlus decided to assume that this had to do with their codenames.
The Turian Spectre waited as the tram moved them to the same part of the space port that Saren had gone to. It stopped and the four of them climbed out, instantly seeing a bomb.
"Ah hell." Reaper said. "Activating scanner…it's nuclear…and there are three others."
"I'm on it." Cazador said before making it look like he was using his datapad. "Done, nukes are shut down. They're no more dangerous than paper weights now."
"Good. Spectre, hand to hand." Reaper ordered as she reactivated her Exo.
Spectre smiled before activating her own Exo. Unlike last time though, both women were upgrading themselves with boosts. Spectre pulled out two Federation Energy Light Blades. Spectre pressed a button on the handles of the katana resembling weapons, making them glow with black energy. Spectre unfurled her wings and flew upwards, gaining the attention of the Geth as Reaper activated her biotics. The Human soldier jumped, using her biotics to boost her onto the platform above her, before using the Exo's built in jump booster. The Geth, busy firing at Spectre at the moment, didn't notice Reaper until the human biotic had sent another bio-bomb, as she called them, into the group's center.
"Fire in the hole!" Spectre shouted from above them.
The bio-bomb went off and Spectre landed, slicing two Geth troopers in half as she did. The Neron spun her katana and smiled beneath her helmet. The UTF soldier laughed before charging at the remaining Geth with her blades. Reaper laughed before activating her Exo's customized attachment. Two small scythes unfolded from the side of the part of her Exo on her arms. The OAIC ran forward, teleporting as she did, as the biotic aura around her almost seemed to flow behind her like a cape. Of course, that was only noticeable if you actually looked, and looked closely at that.
Reaper and Spectre took down the remaining Geth and nodded to each other before charging to the last platform area to fight Saren. They got to it only to find that Saren was long gone. The few Geth that were left were about to charge them when a blast of flame came from behind the two women, accompanied by plasma enhanced LMG rounds. Reaper sheathed her scythes as Spectre did the same with her katana. Reaper looked over at the Beacon and saw that it was glowing, she instantly called Williams. As she did this, Nihlus walked over to it, seemingly drawn to the object.
"Williams, it's Reaper. Was the Beacon always glowing?" Reaper asked.
"[No ma'am.]" Williams replied as Nihlus shouted in shock and surprise.
Reaper instantly spun around to see Nihlus being dragged to the Beacon by an invisible force. Reaper instantly boosted over to the Turian and grabbed him before tossing him to her teammates. She tried to get to them only to discover she was now caught by the force.
"REAPER!" Cazador shouted as he tried to run forward, only to be stopped by both Nihlus and Spectre.
"We don't know what that thing is. Reaper wouldn't want us all dying!" Spectre said.
As soon as Spectre said that, Reaper blacked out.
Death
"What is this?"
Destruction
"Where am I?"
Unending Cycle
"Who are you?"
Fear
"…What are you?"
Pain
"WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME!?"
"We are the harbingers of-…"
"OF WHAT!?"
"AH!" Ria cried as she shot up in a bed in Normandy's med-bay. "What the hell was that? …Was it a dream?"
"Oh good, you're awake." The Normandy's head medical officer, Karen Chakwas, said.
