Then he got onto the shuttle along with Lucy the other eight troopers
Alex and Lucy along with a squad of Cerberus troopers were sitting in a shuttle and Lucy started briefing the soldiers on the mission.
"Alright men listen up were going to a science station on LV-426."
"We are there to rescue Dr. Wheeler is a scientist working on a secret project."
"Any questions? The Cerberus troopers just look at her in cold silence."
"My god you people are boring me to death. How long until we get there anyways?"
"We've got another five hours."
Alex gives Lucy a smile that grossed her out. Well at least I get to stare at you for five hours.
"Shut it I don't get why he sent me with this idiot."
"Hey Lucy what's this "secret" project about anyways?"
"None of your business and besides I don't know."
"Aren't you the least bit curious as to why the illusive sent you with me?"
"Why do you harass me so I don't going harassing you do I? You could if wanted I would not mind in fact I would enjoy it."
A couple of hours had passed and Alex was curious about who Lucy was so he decided to strike up a conversation.
"So uh Lucy that's a pretty name. So where are you from?"
"Again with the questions fine might as well indulge your curiosity since you persist. I do not know where exactly I'm from."
"My earliest memories were on omega living on the streets."
"Oh I'm so sorry I've been to omega it's is a crappy place to live."
"Yes it was but then one day I pissed off the wrong person on omega and they came after me."
"Who the hell did you piss off?"
"The ruler of omega Aria."
"Whoa now I know I have done some crazy things in my time but that's just plain suicidal."
"I sneaked into Afterlife and I was planning to pick pocket some people, but at the time I was young and naïve so I didn't realize I picked Aria's pocket."
"She grabbed my hand but I broke free and ran for my life. I nearly got caught but I got away by stowing away in a shuttle."
"We didn't land for a while so I fell asleep but I awoke to Cerberus troopers dragging me out."
"I realized I wouldn't be able to run away I just sat there thinking I was going to die."
"Then a miracle happened instead of killing me they let join Cerberus and from that day forward I've been with Cerberus."
"Wow well that was a lot more than I expected and why did you tell me all this I thought you didn't like me."
"I don't like you but all those events happened in the past so I don't really care if you know."
"We thank you for the story to return the favor I shall tell you where I'm from. Oh now this I've got to hear about."
"Well I was born in an alliance family grew up on spaceships most of my life."
"I joined the alliance as soon as I was old enough."
"Now tell me why you were dishonorably discharged from the alliance."
"Well that began after our ship received a distress call from a nearby cargo ship. We docked the ship and boarded and immediately something was odd about the place."
"What was strange about it?"
"The ship looked perfect but nobody was inside but we had received a distress call about them being attacked."
"We were suddenly attacked by batarian terrorist's but they were seeing things that weren't there."
"They kept saying gibberish so we couldn't understand what they were saying."
"We finally captured them all and lined them up on the wall."
"We never did find the original crew and the batarians weren't of any use."
"Suddenly my commander got an order to execute all of the batarians."
"He told me to do it but I refused to because they needed help not a bullet to the head."
"He told the rest of the squad to take me back to the ship. As I was being dragged away I heard one gunshot after another it gave me chills down my spine."
"After that I got charged with insubordination and then I became a freelance mercenary."
"Why did they want to kill the batarians."
"I honestly don't know I wish I knew why."
"That's why I don't trust the Alliance."
"Yeah I don't either."
As Alex and Lucy were talking a Cerberus trooper taps Lucy on her shoulder.
"Ma'am we about to land on LV-426 ETA ten minutes."
"Ok everyone get ready let's get this over with."
