Lia bought some food, spare parts for her suit and other necessary items. When she arrived at bay S-3, David was already there. He led her to a small, fairly old ship. She looked everywhere for a name, but the ship didn't have one. Just numbers - STS-1703.

From behind her, David spoke, "I know she's pretty old, but very maneuverable. Saved my ass on my second trade trip. Those pirates never thought that this kind of design could hold so many missiles." He smiled.

"You survived a pirate attack?"

"Yup. When I was Alliance, I served in MADE - Multipurpose Assault, Defence and Extraction. Basically universal soldiers, trained in every aspect of war, including piloting and space combat. Turns out, STS is almost as maneuverable as the Kodiak, bad news for those pirates. Have some good memories with flight training. I remember that my wing-man was usually a man named Steve Cortez. Nice guy. Still with the Alliance."

"You sound like someone with talent. Who could've survived a pirate attack in this?" She pointed at the ship. "By the way, why doesn't it have a name?"

"Didn't bother to name it. Just some random letters and numbers. Simple, and enough. Now let's get her ready. We leave in 10 minutes. Your job will be to keep an eye on ship sensors for anything unusual."

"Really?" She sounded offended. "I'm a quarian. I know a few things about ships. I can maintain the core and systems myself. And I can sleep on my workstation if there is no room."

David couldn't help but smile, seeing how dedicated she was.

"Don't worry. The ship's made for five man crew. I'm sure there's room for two."

"Thank you again, I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't found me." She meant these words. She'd never felt so lucky since she left the flotilla.

"Just keep doing your work and you'll do fine. Now let's board. First stop - Omega. Have to deliver some... goods there."

The docking clamps were released. Lia settled in the smallest room of the ship. She felt more comfortable that way. Unpacked everything and started working right away.

A few hours later, they arrived on Omega. After they docked, David took a pistol and hid it in his belt. Then he took a smaller pistol and gave it to Lia.

"You can never be too careful here. Know how to use it?"

"Had some practice. I don't like this place. I feel so... threatened." If you asked her yesterday, she could've stayed on Omega and finished her pilgrimage here, but now she wasn't sure.

"Take this too, and keep it turned on," David gave her a shield generator, "I'm a biotic. I don't need shields."

They entered the central part of Omega, near the Afterlife bar.

"Behold Lia - the dirtiest shithole I've been to. My client is waiting in the residental district. We should hurry."

Residental district? That's where Kenn works

When they got close to the door to the district, someone rushed out from that door and bumped into David.

"Oh I'm sorry... I'm very sorry sir. I'll just walk away alright? I don't want any problems."

Lia recognised that voice, and that suit.

"Its okay. You seem to be in a hurry..." David was going to ask him something, but Lia suddenly dropped in.

"Kenn, is that you?"

"How do you... Wait, Lia? Keelah, it is you! What are you doing on Omega? Thought you were on Citadel."

They hugged each other for some time. Then Lia asked him:

"What happened to you, why are you in such a hurry?"

"You won't beleive it, but Commander Shepard walked to my store, and gave me credits to buy a ticket off-world."

"Shepard?!" Lia and David exclaimed together.
