3rd File:
Shepard was a bit annoyed. For the sake of their anonymity, she, Garrus and Thane would have to use the Sisterhood's earpieces and stay out of the Normandy's comm frequencies. Shepard couldn't particularly approve of killing a man, but considering what he had done… even Samara had approved of their actions.
31st Target:
Shepard was with Crackshot as the woman set up her rifle in an abandoned building across from the mark's on Illios. "So… You're scarily efficient… y'know…" the redhead said.
"Thanks."
"So… was it one person that hacked CSec… or was it all of you? Cus our pilot really wants to know…"
"I'd tell you… but then I'd have to kill you," the sniper grinned as she went to the small gap between the building they were in and the next. Placing her toes on the opposing wall, she gripped the open window she was slipping through, and held herself up as she placed her other foot on the wall behind her. Using her biotics and her muscles to hold herself up, she aimed at the mark as Blaise made her way inside his office. "Get ready to move out in a second."
32nd Target:
This situation was far harder to work with than their original one. Blaise was able to make her way inside, but the extensive surveillance on the building meant that the only back up she would have were Harriet and Parvati. The latter of which, wasn't even able to help that much because the building's security system was so tight that it made CSec call it overkill, so she couldn't even sneak around the vents as she would normally because they had a laser grid (who has a laser grid in a vent?). Luna couldn't even do much even if the system was on a level 1, so that she wouldn't trigger a level 4 (which would lead to a lockdown and scanning of every individual in the building) so that she wouldn't get Parvati caught.
The drell Harry couldn't help but flirt with after their last job was there as well, acting as an extra eye in the sky to keep her safe with a Turian but considering the way he and his commander screwed up their last try, she didn't have much faith in either. Padma was making sure that the Drell was covered, while Draga made sure that the Turian didn't die while his eyes were on the corridors
Letting out a sigh, she reminded herself to trust her sisters and walked into his office.
33rd Target:
After their lunch together in his office, Blaise was able to give the mark emetic poison (again, honestly Draga was going to get annoyed by the amount they were using recently) in his tea when he went off to stare at the skyline (thanking any deity out there that he had dismissed his guards). "I… seem to h-have c-caught something…" he said getting up for the toilet. Rushing off, she watched after him for a few seconds until the door closed when she rushed to her feet and plugged a USB into his computer.
"Welcome to the office of miracles, how may I assist you?"
"Blank, you're connected," she said into her comm, using Luna's codename as Shepard and nd her two goons were on the channel. She hurdle some slurping on the end before Luna said "I'm looking for his 'number system'. Honestly this would be so much easier if he named his files obviously. I need a few minutes so I don't trigger a security breach."
"I thought you were the office of miracles?"
"So sorry, you were rerouted to the office of too freaking bad,"
Blaise heard Harriet snicker in the comms. "Crackshot, don't encourage her." Hermione said, following it by an exasperating sigh. Then, as the doors began to unlock, she ran back to her seat. The man walked in with a refreshed smile, showering her in apologies before taking a seat at his desk.
Everything was going fine until he saw the link on his computer.
34th Target:
The second that he asked what it was, Blaise knew she was made. "Crap…" Harriet mumbled, trying to take aim as they mark took out a gun from under his desk. "Blaise, stay calm. I'm gonna make a shot," she told her.
"You can't have a clear shot from there," Garrus said.
"I'm not called 'Crackshot' for no reason."
35th Target:
Pulling the trigger, her bullet shot through the air, shot through the glass window and hit him in the back of the head before he could shoot Blaise.
36th Target:
"Hey Shepard, help me out of here," she called out to the commander who pulled her back in through the window. "Blank, how long left?"
"I'm getting the last of the data now."
Grabbing her rifle, she placed it into a briefcase at the side and began to run down the stairs. "Ghost, wait until we give the clear to sound the alarm. Juggernaut, take the vent next to you to get into the corridor. There is a guard underneath, take her badge and ID, as long as they don't look to close you should be ok. Fake getting ghost to hospital treatment." Hermione, Chessmaster, instructed. "Harlequin get Krios out of there. Poison, Vakarian is your responsibility."
"We'll meet at the reassembly point. Move."
37th Target:
"So you got your guy… I think that was the calmest assignment I've ever been on. There's usually a shoot out..." Shepard mumbled. Crackshot grinned. "Yup. So… what do you need us for?"
"Do you know about what happened on freedom's progress?"
"We heard about it," Blank said, slurping her cafpow
"Well, I know who did it. It was the collectors and we're gonna take them down."
"You do realise that they are behind the omega 4 relay? That's basically suicide," Poison grumbled.
"That's why I'm recruiting the best."
4th File:
Shepard didn't need to do much convincing to get them on board, mostly because she had Crackshot on her side and apparently Crackshot's approval resulted in immediate approval from Blank, Juggernaut and Harlequin. Poison and Ghost followed soon after and Chessmaster joined begrudgingly.
They were an interesting bunch and easily referred to each other as 'sisters'. Shepard couldn't help but wish she could have had that kind of connection with people, after her resurrection she had lost most of her friendships. Kaidan's response to her working with Cerberus, despite the fact that she tried to tell him that it wasn't willing, was heartbreaking and she couldn't help but feel that coming back hadn't been worth it (even if she had the chance to meet her friends again).
38th Target:
It was in a large briefing room when the Sisterhood greeted the other crew. "Crackshot, I'm the weapons tech of the group."
"Codename: Harlequin. Infiltration expert."
"Codename: Juggernaut. I hit things."
"Poison. You can guess what I do."
"Ghost, I'm the grifter and connector."
"Grifter?" Caleb inquired
"I sneak around acting as different people to make our marks more vulnerable. More often than not, I'm the one who administers the poison's Draga makes."
"Chessmaster, I'm the strategist."
Then there was silence. "Anyone seen Blank?"
39th Target:
Joker was in the middle of waiting for a new destination when the door to the cockpit opened as he flipped through a fornax magazine in his omnitool. He rushed to close the screen before a blond girl in old school clothing from the last century walked in sipping from a straw. Waving at him, she smiled and asked if she could sit on the co-pilot seat. "Go ahead," he told her awkwardly, coughing.
"You're a sister?" he asked, praying that she hadn't seen his screen. It was bad enough Shepard, his boss, had seen him reading Fornax. He didn't need his new crewmate knowing that he did. "Yeah," she said simply, pulling up a screen on her omni tool.
"What's your name?" she asked him.
"Jeff Moreau, most call me Joker."
"I'm Blank."
"Blank? The hacker?"
"Yep. Mind if I stick around here? Everywhere else is super crowded…"
"Sure,"
40th Target:
"I gotta know, were you the one who hacked CSec and put their bar tab on them?"
"Sorta, kinda, maybe?"
"Ok, you are my idol."
Her laugh was infectious.
41st Target:
Something Joker realised early on was that Blank liked to answer comms in odd and intriguing ways, especially since Shepard had taken to using her for hacking (mostly because she was a lot faster than the commander and the engineers that went with her into the field). Some greetings were as normal as "How may I assist you," and others as funny as:
"How may I save your ass today?"
"Oracle of the Sisterhood. Speak if you deign to hear truth"
"This is the Office of Unmitigated Superiority. I am always ready. With the awesome power I have in this room, all I need is 15 seconds to nail the creep you're looking for."
At the last one, he couldn't help but ask "Really, 15 seconds?". She merely looked at him and gave a cheerful smile before saying "If that."
42nd Target:
Joker loved being around Blank, whatever her real name was. It was a lot easier being around her than EDI (mostly because he had seen Shepard and the old crew fight against geth and the destruction AI brought and he was still wary of AI).
It was one day when the two sat in the cockpit, as he tried to avoid enemy fire from a ship that was chasing them out of Omega, while she tried to hack the opposite ships systems when he realised just how great she was. Everyone on the comms was yelling at her to hurry and hack their enemies as the ship got nearer and nearer with their shots when she yelled "Okay, you know how on Star Trek when Captain Kirk asked McCoy to do something totally impossible and McCoy says, 'Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a miracle worker!'?"
"Yeah? Are you trying to tell me to stop expecting miracles?" he asked her, taking a hard turn
"No, I'm saying I'm not a doctor." she grinned, pressing a button and the attacking ship to stop in its tracks
"That's my girl."
He hadn't expected the warmth from her after he said that… it was kind of cute…
"Their systems had really shitty firewalls, nothing like CSec. It was too easy."
43rd Target:
Thane wasn't expecting Crackshot to become his sparring partner. While he was trained in the compact, she had obviously been trained as an N7. The same way Juggernaut was also obviously N7. It was in the way they moved, the way they acted. They stood the same way as Shepard, all three unable to completely hide the muscle memory. However the two Sisters had taught themselves to conceal it behind wisecracks and casual attitudes that went against their military training.
Crackshot… was a woman that deserved respect. From the little he was able to wheedle out of her, she was the one who brought everyone together for the Sisterhood faction. He had told her some of his targets in return and how is compact training had worked ('an eye for an eye' as humans liked to say).
44th Target:
"You have Kepral's?" she had asked him one day, but he couldn't help but feel that it was less of a question and more of a statement. He affirmed it and explained the issue. "Isn't there a cure?" she had asked. He gave a smile, "The Hanar have made a genetic engineering program in the past few years, to help us adapt. However I do not believe that I will still draw breath by the time it bears fruit."
"It seems to be the Hanar care more for saving the people to come, than those who are suffering now."
"It is to help the species as a who-"
"Don't even start with 'the bigger picture' crap Thane. That nonsense is why I am a sister. Do you know what our creed is?"
"What?"
"The good of the many does not exceed the good of the few"
He was honored to see such righteous fury on his account.
45th Target:
"Why not have a transplant?"
"There are others more deserving than I."
"Is there any way we can help? Ghost has contacts and Blank could help. Poison isn't just good at making poisons you know? And the Normandy has a state of the art medical bay, I doubt Shepard wouldn't want to help you Thane."
"No thank you. It's being attended to. If the finest medical minds in the Hanar Illuminated Primacy cannot solve the problem, I doubt they could."
He was surprised when she grabbed his collar and growled "Stop trusting the people who put you in the backseat because it wouldn't benefit them and waited so long to start helping people."
46th Target:
When Kolyat was in danger, he was surprised when the first person he went to before Shepard was Crackshot. "He has taken some of my skills and is difficult to dete-" he began only to be interrupted by Blank's slurping before she said "Found him".
With Shepard's reputation and that of Scales Consulting and Associates (a front for Crackshot's group), his son was able to get away with community service. He was blessed to have met such kind people. A light in the dark, growing expanse of space.
Hello all! Sorry it took me a while lost track of time as I struggled with another fic ^-^;; Thank you to Death's Inevitable Kiss for the lovely prompt, I have plans for that [evil cackle], I'm still taking prompts and you can bring up any specific quests you want me to do, I may have already said this, but this is mostly just a fic showing group interactions as a crew.
In terms of Luna's implied Asexuality, to be honest, I see Luna as this hyper girl but a girl who kind of lives on logic (hence the use of the Salarian comparison). She's not the best with social interactions because of her 'retro' likes (i.e star trek) and her computer focuses and I thought I'd bring that up early on.
Here we also see the Sisterhood in action doing what they do best (so much so that Shepard is happy things were relatively calm for once) as well as Harriet and Thane's interactions as friends.
Tell me what you think ^-^
