The HSA battle net was abuzz my husband and I were preparing our ships the reclaimer a super carrier and the inheritor a dreadnaught respectively both ships were 112 km. Our vessels were in route to meet this council for negotiations on a cease fire with the Turian race, to congratulate them on upholding the mantel of responsibility and for helping all races to the best of their ability be it giving the quarrians a new world instead of banishing them or not freaking out on the Krogan when they wanted to expand their territory and even patrols to stop baterian slavers. They did an OK job. My thoughts were interrupted by Cortana who announced we would be arriving at the citadel 30 seconds

Citadel- on the destiny ascension conciliar Tevos was meeting up with some old friends such as matriarch Benezia when one of the com specialists stumbled into her quarters frantically trying to form words. When the officer finally could form a sentence the ships speakers were hijacked. Then there were four words spoken in Asari and they were "we come in peace"

When those words were spoken Tevos sprinted to the bridge and saw a sight that would leave her in awe 2 ships larger than the citadel were on the horizon the voice spoke again "we would like to send a diplomatic party over to your station to talk about a potential alliance" Tevos then spoke "very well but before we begin negotiations I would like to know the name of your species" the voice replied with pride "we are humanity, the inheritors of the mantel" Tevos had to ask what this mantel was. The voice then replied " all will be explained on the citadel oh and how many guards would be expectable to bring to your station" Tevos responded "why would you need guards we are not at war" the voice said one word that angered Tevos beyond belief that word was "Turians" Tevos sighed and said "five per ambassador. Meet me at docking bay D-24

Citadel – HSA shuttle enroot to docking bay D-24

Leah was nervous very nervous this was a PEACEFUL first contact and she hoped that they would not scare the aliens or upset them when they played the recording of that Turian general, because she was hoping for peaceful co-existence. She was knocked out of her thoughts when the shuttles Dumb AI told them they were docking. The door opened and there was Tevos who greeted them with a smile

I walked up to the blue human like alien and spoke "It's a pleasure to talk face to face rather than over a com system, by the way I am Leah Halsey-Shepherd I'm the head of our special forces and intelligence bureau or SFIB" "it truly is an honor, welcome to the citadel" Tevos replied with a slight smile gracing her face she continued talking "so what problems did the Turians cause" I responded with "I think we should have this discussion in private the matter at hand is quite disturbing" Tevos frowned and asked "how many civilians dead this time" I was caught like a deer in head lights I asked her as we approached the elevator to the tower "this time?" Tevos frowned and said "Drell had 10,000 casualties, and Elcor had 12,000 So how many" I said "I think zero the fleet they sent didn't even dent our colonies orbital shell or what we call a dome and the fleet was vaporized by my daughter who was the a stealth frigate battle group commander before a single landing craft was launched to the surface this was her first colony guard shift as well" finish my statement with pride Tevos looked like she was imitating a fish. Then asked "what were the odds" "6 to 1,125 only 8 survived because they powered down weapons" Tevos then promptly fainted

1 hour later

When Tevos woke up she tried to pass this off as a dream. These new comers utterly demolished the Turians fleet. Tevos then asked the question on her mind "if you have that kind advantage over them why didn't your daughter continue to demolish the Turians" before I could give answer the doors to the council chamber bust open and the Krogan and Salarian councilors walked in and asked if they were late Tevos sighed in amusement at Wrex and Mordin. They were practically brothers just like all Krogan and Salarian people, she was glad that her predecessor was patient when dealing with the Krogan they always made her smile. Tevos responded with a no and we finally started to begin talking. I opened "honored citadel councilors I stand before you today for four things, one inform you about the history of humanity, two to teach you about the mantel of responsibility three to negotiate a cease fire with the Turians and four help you and your people have a better life. But before we begin I'm going to have the other three ambassadors teleport down, is this accepta…" the salarian councilor cut me off and I'm pretty sure he talked faster than a non-augmented human could process. "Teleportation! You can teleport hmm interesting possible but beyond my comprehension must ask, is it matter disassembly and reassembly to specific coordinates or something else?" chuckling at his enthusiasm I responded "something else." He responded looking disappointed and intrigued "very well and you may." Nodding I opened my hard light tac-pad and typed some commands then I placed a slip-space sphere.

Before they could ask what I was doing three figures walked out of the created portal Lead General John Halsey-Shepherd, Lord Admiral Steven Hackett and head civilian ambassador Donnelly Udina. Before the councilors could speak Udina introduced himself. Udina started "Hello esteemed councilors I am head civilian ambassador Donnelly Udina" then went John "councilors I am Spartan-117…" I gave him the patent 'if you stop introducing yourself there then you get to sleep on the couch for a month look' he continued while I thought 'I hope no one caught my glare' "John Halsey-Shepherd lead General and N7 director." Before Hackett was able to introduce himself the Krogan councilor Wrex dashed my hopes by saying "oh she has got you so whipped, she just gave you the couch glare and you fold, ha she reminds me of my wife. I like that one." I was sure I looked like a tomato from embarrassment just like John probably did under his helmet. Before it got anymore strange, a smirking Hackett finally introduced himself "last but not least I am Lord Admiral Steven Hackett." With that negotiations began.
