Yo it's me Kazama again, and I would like to say thank you for views, favorites, and alerts I have been getting so far. Nothing negative, but I do wish some feedback. However enough complaining in general, I would like to say this story will take a good departure from normal fics seen on the side. Hopefully the OC character so far is believable in my opinion. In my opinion Miranda could have been simple so much more than a Cerberus agent in my book. For you wondering TIM of the Illusive Man will show up in later chapters. I'm story building without the insane time jumps to justify Yoko's talents and feats. Still I hope you enjoy this new chapter I posted. I hope you all review!

Widow System: Citadel

The blonde sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror now as she wore a red and white uniform in question. It was two piece uniform in question as she wore steel boots now. She sighed now as focused now as she was using her biotics in question to braid her hair into a saber braid.

It was something her grandfather showed from old anime called Fate Stay Night. It was something even her grandmother encouraged her to do to keep her long hair out of the way from projects in question that were messy. Today was no exception in question as she was sitting in the locker room of Huerta Memorial Hospital.

One of the best premium care hospitals during in the galaxy. It was a high-end hospital that North America created to honor a Christopher Huerta's when he was president around the time Systems Alliance was formed.

Anita Goyle petitioned to build a high-end hospital on the Presidium, and it passed despite the ire of Turians and Humans at first. However, the invention of Medi-gel helped made this deal doable in question.

The person that helped push the deal even further was Matriarch Benezia as she worked as the Ambassador for the Asari to have talks with Humanity in question. The hospital only catered to C-Sec, government officials, military, or the rich in matter than civilians in question. As it helped freed up individual cases along the Citadel as well when it regarded new epidemics at times. It could also accommodate all the races here on the Citadel, and all the tech here was cutting edge across the galaxy.

Doctors of the military in question would stop here to do work to improve their skills and xenobiology in question.

Overall there are 12 full-time doctors from various races working here and more than fifty support staff. So it wasn't lousy learning here at all compared some place on Earth.

The blonde sighed now as she placed a placed a small little device around the bun now.

She tapped on it now as it started creating nanotech ribbon that lasted longer than normal silk ties. She quickly tied it in place now to keep it in place now.

She moved to check her Omni-tool now for a moment for the time now. She got up now as she made sure to walk out as Yoko followed the map provided she would make it in time.

The lobby floor was on the bottom with restrooms, cafeteria, and the gift shop in question now. It also had emergency surgery rooms, inpatient room, examination rooms, and a lab. Everything else up in question had different floor catering to various forms of medicine in particular. Everything you need to get the job done was on that floor itself. It also provided individual rooms for people with long-term problems. The meeting floor itself was on the highest level of the building and where it considered to hold the meeting room, offices, and etc. The level below it was considered a lounge area or a place of relaxation for the staff in question. Also, a place to get dressed and cleaned up with their personal bathrooms.

She made her way to the lounge area where the other residents formed now. There were only three of them in particular, which included her now.

She saw the nervous Asari sitting there and a Salarian passing the time was playing a game on his Omni-tool now. As she sat down in the empty seat now as Salarian looked up for a moment now.

"So the first human to pass with all honors and the number 1 in art, communication, electrical engineering, computer engineering, chemistry, and xenobiology graces us. Not counting the one on physics on Earth standards." he pointed out now.

As the Asari pointed out now. "How did she even get past the Academy's standards… she is just a human kid," she asked him now.

"Because this one has the drive, talent, and a great memory recollection for a human. Besides, that accelerated courses make sure the person knows the material, and they can apply in real life. They run workshop classes filled with theory work after all. You shouldn't be talking badly about anyone for getting the lowest of scores from Serrice University. You only got this position due to your grandmother, Dr. Passante, and Matriarch Benezia." he told her now as the Asari blushed blue in anger.

"Excuse me know it all, but Serrice University is cut throat after all. If you aren't someone protege, you don't get far in this line of work. Years of experience learning the material is needed, I don't see you learning neurosurgery."

"It doesn't mean much in actual experience Rana Thanoptis if you couldn't apply in real life. You were just wasting your time after all, and it doesn't mean much after all. If you were told to operate a human brain could you do it?" the Salarian asked her as the Asari turned quiet now.

She turned to the blonde in question. "I would ask her that question, what medical work have you done in particular and your specialization you aiming for?" Rana demanded her now.

"I am focusing of cybernetic implants and nanotechnology. I assisted Dr. Ellen Ryder in creating the L3 implant making human biotics possible. I help removed three L1 implants without problems and assisted in putting in a new implant." Yoko answered her now

"See, I know for a fact the girl is telling the truth after all since her name is recognized in Dr. Ryder's paper after all. Not a bad goal focusing on the on the hardware in general as bonding machine to flesh is a hard task." he praised her now. "My name is Dubar Ilon, just to keep things short and simple. I'm focusing genetics in particular, and since humanity has come upon the scene itself, I can make my way of studying humans in particular. With the different peaks and valleys in question, it's quite fascinating to see for once.

She nodded her head now. "Well it's nice to meet you both, but I'm Yoko Minamoto." she introduced herself now. "Did any of you receive instructions on what orientation would be like? I only met the Hospital Director Ellen Anders for the interview."

"I am afraid not, but I'm assuming they will get to have their morning meetings and do what they need to do before they attend to us in general. We will no doubt be trailing a professional in the field, but limited to only seeing patients, reviewing records, tests, writing notes, presenting case them to the team, discussing a plan, and placing orders. Boring pretty much, but a hospital like this cares little for mistakes after all." Dubar told her now.

"Quite so… a voice called out now as three turned to see a Salarian sitting in the chair now as he wore Salarian hospital variant uniform. He had a collar bracing his neck in particular now.

"Tactical cloak…" Yoko muttered now.

"Spot on Miss Minamoto…" he spoke now as he stood up now. He was walked up now to the table now as he stood at attention now.

"Well there seem to be mishaps today because I thought we were getting one resident to join us after all," he told them as he looked at his datapad now. He quickly paced around the table in particular.

"One?" Rana asked him.

He stopped for a moment now nodding his head now. "Oh, it seems your interviewers didn't tell you… okay, I will explain some things to you. The tests you all have done and worked in school is anyone can do. Furthermore, we have enough neurosurgeons, genetics, and not a lot of cybernetics specialists. Many go to school expecting to just typical until they run the need to work electronic eyes. My best bet here that Yoko Minamoto will stay on with us, unlike you two. You don't know how to speak the languages needed if your translator ever broke you can't help anyone. If someone has to lay down the life to protect a patient, she could do it after all. She is actually is training to fight people in question."

The blonde gritted her teeth as eyes laid on her now for a moment. "Hospitals don't just ask three people to come in and then drop two. Are you sure that hasn't been a mix-up Dr…"

"Professor Mordin Solus, Salarian geneticist and I work for the STG. Came here to the hospital to learn more about humanity. Still enough about me, how about a little test to ensure who gets the spot." Mordin offered now as he walked over to the table no sliding datapads to all of them now.

"Elaborate?" Dubar asked him.

"Very well, for instance, you all have been tasked to finding a way to improve the medical community. You need to create a feasible, but possible prototype we can implement within the year. I will answer the basic questions that people will ask during the testing phase. You will also need to start now, but this test will last an hour top. Then I will ask you one question personally from me." Mordin told them.

"No pen to go with datapad or a terminal to research…" Rana asked him now.

Mordin chuckled. "Well you have to bring your own things to work, but it looks Mr. Ilon here has the advantage he has a terminal on hand yet no pen. However, you can't use the hospital's connection use the one you paid for. The test starts now."

As the Asari got up in question to go grab a pen now from the other room now.

Yoko tapped on her Omni-tool now as she held out her hand now. The 3D program began making a pen before her now with ease. It took ten seconds as she quickly grasped it now.

"Omni-tools are no good at creating 3D objects without actual fabrication unit," Mordin muttered now.

"Mine has upgraded feature to include advance nanotech in it's structuring process," Yoko explained now as she took off her Cipher tool now. She tapped away on it now. "Terminal please…"

She muttered now as the Omni-tool began generating a 3D light now as it managed to form a terminal now in one minute now. She pressed on the glowing icon as the holographic keys and screen now.

"Not bad, very resourceful this one is… you will all do well not to disregard her." Mordin told them as Rana came back now.

"Can I borrow a pen?" She asked them now.

Yoko nodded her head now. "Sure…" she agreed as she slid the pen over to her far. She began generating another one soon. Rana started using her Omni-tool quickly.

"Okay, something to help the medical community, some practical and feasible. Well, it shouldn't be hard to make a nano-dart with Medi-gel to hit internal wounds first and expand to help outer wounds. The trick is getting Medi-gel itself to deploy right will be hard. It will have to get past armor in general. Anything shot from Omni-tool slow enough can bypass shields. Medics all over can't treat anyone too far without enduring themselves. At the same time, combat medics, in general, won't be able to save that man in a fight until the threat is neutralized." she thought now as she looked at the array of questions.

She looked at them and frowned now as she remembered patenting and testing the QEC device now.

"There is no way physically anyone can solve this test… is this a trick test in particular. You will need a lawyer, manufacturer, and extensive trials, in particular, to test a device to the fullest. Furthermore, regular store-bought Omni-tools without upgrades can't generate nanomachines well. Still, maybe the test is about hammering down the basics then and allowing them to consider funding us." Yoko thought again as she focused on the test now.

Mordin walked around the room now as he nodded his head as he looked at his Omni-tool now. "Computers off and pens down an hour is up. Slide your datapads here for me to see," he ordered them now as they all looked nervous now.

As they did so as Rana slid the pen, she borrowed over to the blonde now. They began shutting down the devices now and slide their datapads over to him to inspect now.

He grabbed Rana Thanoptis now. "Okay Miss Thanoptis, let's start with your idea. Give me an idea of what is and how you can implant it."

"Gladly," she told them as she stood up now. "I plan on creating a neural amplifier to help stimulate a patient's brain an opposite of neural inhibitor in question that neutralizes a person able to move or biotics. Helping coma patients wake up one day or decreasing the odds of being in a coma," she told them now. "The manufacture in question can be Armali Council since their Nexus products can run multiple programs at the same time. So it can run medical and tech programs together with ease."

Mordin nodded his head now. "That's very good an all, but the brain is a tricky thing, and not all brains act the same. Assuming you made the device, you would have to find a way to feasible, and everyone knows Aramli Council will just market up the price. Then you have to test it on every race out there, and the results can be different. Explain to me how will it help a child with an undeveloped brain, would hurt them?" Mordin asked her now.

Rana sighed now. "I don't have the answer…" she muttered now as she sat down.

Mordin placed it down now. "This is a science test, and we need exact answers, good try though. Let's see if Mister Ilon has a good idea," he told them now as he twirled his fingers now.

Dubar got up now. "My idea is to create a more efficient way of applying gene therapy to babies in particular. Allowing the computers to be more precise and apply nanotech needles for exact precision. It can also stimulate a child's personal feature with subtle manipulation as well. My manufacturer in question would be the STG. That way of producing it would be cheap since the genetics…"

"Impossible…" Mordin muttered now. "What are you suggesting isn't feasible at all or truly ethical. We might use it for our personal products. However, it caters to the just the rich to have better design children. On the note the only race you could pitch it to is humanity, but at the same, it's not viable. Humans have too many high and low peaks in their DNA. Assuming if it did work overall and you petitioned it can give you the best designer baby possible. It only caters to the rich in question to profit." Mordin discredited him now. "As you must have noticed by now that a majority of races of DNA are similar in nature. Any good genetics doctor could tell you that."

Mordin motioned to the blonde now as she stood up now. He glanced over her data now.

"I would like to say that everything here can be easily gathered by the hospital in question. As I have the plan to create nanotech dart or at best. Nanomachines in question can be used as well altered to find the internal wound and uses the Omni-tool compression technology to create a dart. As well make the tip of it hard as diamond to pierce armor or toughest flesh from Elcor or Krogan."

"Nanotech dart, huh without a manufacturer? Elaborate for me?" Mordin asked her now.

"Considering the hospital here as well others have similar tech tweaking your Omni-tools is easy to produce such objects. All you need to do is make some minor tweaks to your shipments here to make it. Then lease the program out to people who are working ambulances and to ensure it can't be stolen by others with strict documentation. Because people can use or alter Medi-gel for terrible purposes. With the fact you don't have to run to that person you can avoid injury as well if you caught in a dangerous moment." Yoko tried explained now.

"Not bad… I would say yours would be very feasible and welcomed idea." Mordin told her now as she sat down now. "Now for the final question that can make or break this residency with us."

"Such as?" Dubar asked him now.

"Well, there could be a chance all of you can fail… I didn't state earlier combining nanomachines with Medi-gel is breaching Citadel law after all. The dart itself can replicate this gel after all, but she included strict control over it. So I said nothing about it, but at the same time, the rule was overturned for Medi-gel. It can be held up by legal trouble, but the ability to save lives from afar will not be overlooked so easily." Mordina explained to them now.

"The question?" Rana asked him now.

"Well, there are rules to this last question in mind," Mordin told them now.

"Rules now, are you just making this up?" Rana asked him now.

Mordin chuckled now. "No this is for your benefit or not it's up to you to decide. So each of you has the choice not to be given the question."

Dubar's eyes flickered now. "What's the catch, why the choice involved? What happens if we say no?"

Mordin nodded his head now. "Well regardless what I made you write in particular down, there are always people stopping you from making your ideas a reality. For instance Miss Minamoto, you created Quantum Entangled Communication device or QEC for short. How many people were interested in it?" Mordin asked her now.

As she frowned now. "Only the Alliance, no communications company would support it. I assume it was more due to monopoly or the fact it's a limited point to point. An excellent military tech, but no other military would be interested in it." she answered grimly now.

"Correct, because they control how things get down and pay more for highest connections in general. We refer them as the Big Three for now as the Council, for centuries people had to play second fiddle to communication companies in general. Out of all services out there communication is needed to connect with each other as well learn. Using the extranet for free is terrible… slow connection and searching for the information is tough. That is why they make people pay for Codex updates in question. That is why you are making a killing on language translation programs in particular. Everyone likes what Humanity is bringing to the table with their new ideas and inventions." Mordin lectured them now. "Still I will regard everything did pointlessly."

He held up each datapad deleting them now before their eyes now.

"And?" Dubar muttered now.

"In other words, you will fail if you don't get it right," Mordin told them grimly.

"If we accept it and fail to answer?" Yoko asked next.

Mordin decided to respond now. "If you accept it and fail as you suggested… I will use every resource in my power to block you from every reputable hospital in Citadel space. What many of your ideas you propose have good intentions. Others can use them for bad intentions. Such as stimulating the mind to help keep them awake during torture sessions. Designer babies with enhanced abilities create a bigger gap with the rich and the poor. Many can't pay that and then eventually riots will get out. Nanotech replicating Medi-gel is iffy at best, but dangerous in the wrong hands. At the same time, assassins can use to generate poison throughout the body killing a person within seconds."

As everyone's faces looked grim, except Mordin. "So, in other words, you are going to sack our career over ideas we were forced to come on the spot?" Rana asked him now.

"Of course, you can't be running experiments or testing things without supervision here. These are hospitals resources, not yours even down to Extranet connection here. You up taking speed can delay us from calling in people to work. Resources needed to help treat even the poor, by the surface it looks like it caters to the wealthy. In actuality cops, special cases, and etc. don't have the money. During crisis times with epidemics, we are forced to take in people here. So if you aren't feeling confident walk out now and try next month or year again with some other hospital."

"What are you bluffing you doubt have the ability to bar us from joining the hospital?" Rana asked him now.

"Ask Dubar then… I have more than away sway to lend a Dalatrasses ear after all." Mordin suggested now.

Dubar frowned now. "In turn, they can have words with the Republic… since our two governments have sway over the market," he muttered now.

Mordin sat down now as he sat timer on the table now. "You have five minutes to decide your fate after all. Unlike Dubar here you have a chance to pick another career Miss Thanoptis and Miss Minamoto." he gestured to the two now. As he pointed to the blonde now. "You have enough degrees or possibly sway to join the Alliance to become one. I have no doubt that Mrs. Ryder can put a good word for you. However, I can feel that you wouldn't want that… you don't like settling for second best."

"At the same time, who respect Alliance degree out here in space… I would be forced to stay on for seven years no doubt. At best I have to wait until I'm seventeen with my dad's permission to join. So I will be…

"Roughly twenty-four years old and then any cross training you would do would take years. So you aren't in the position to gamble as well. So starting right now you have five minutes to decide you want to stay." Mordin told them now as he hit the timer now.

The Asari sighed now. "Goddess help me…" Rana muttered now as the time started clicking down now.

Dubar got up now. "I'm out, I rather head someone else than being blacklisted. I can try something else." Dubar told them now.

Mordin tapped on his Omni-tool now. "Very well your files will be sent elsewhere, but considering the flood genetics specialists you won't get far," Mordin told him as the Salarian left first now out the room soon.

The blonde and the Asari shifted now. "It's not like this little girl here is not going to be barred…"

"Are you sure? Judging from her face, I would hazard along the grounds she wouldn't like to wait or work for the Alliance in particular. She may have natural biotics, but they might force her to put in an unneeded implant. She wants to work for herself not others in question if she wants to go against the flow." Mordin pointed out now.

"Two minutes are up."

As the Asari got up now. "Fine, I'm leaving before I get blacklisted as well. I know for a fact that Matriarchs there are terrible." She muttered leaving now.

"Very well, I respect your decision, and I will record your information," Mordin told her now

It let the blonde in the room now as she frowned now.

"You can always take a position on Sur'Kesh if you want… however, the position is filled by Salarians after all." Mordin suggested to her now as she stayed quiet for the next few minutes now.

"Now, this is problematic, my hot streak is going to end here if I fail to answer this question. I know the Alliance could take me in, but it's restrictive in nature. Furthermore, it's not my nature to settle for second best. Not after I told everyone I will work here with the best of the best. Dad always said love and pride could be a downfall." she thought now.

Her thoughts were interrupted now. "Times up now is your time to choose to your fate. Will you take my question as is?"

Yoko nodded as she gulped now. "Yes sir, I'm prepared to take it," she told him now.

"Last chance to walk out and be a resident elsewhere in another hospital in the wards?"

Yoko nodded her head now. "No thank, but I have plans one day to one day give my dad legs to walk on his actual feet again. This will be my thanks to him for letting undertaking my selfish wishes," she told him now.

Mordin nodded his head now. "Well there is one thing to say to you then…" he paused now. "You pass."

As the blonde looked dumbfounded now as the Salarian smirked now. "What? What were the purpose of asking us these questions and this test then if their no question?" she worriedly asked him now.

Mordin chuckled now. "No, it served importance all right personality to see who is prepared to solve problems and not be selfish to share. For example, Rana had no terminal or pen on hand unlike Dubar or you in particular. You couldn't lend out your computer to her for several reasons no doubt as it has ID feature on it. Still, you managed to give her a way to take this test. Doctors in question will have to work with people they don't know. If everyone cooperated in question you get along things will be less stressful. Communication is key to helping save lives as well connect to the patients you work." Mordin lectured her now.

"Then the test?" Yoko asked him next.

"Simply put, to see if you can find a way to help save people under the worst circumstances. Often times people do die on the table and getting relevant information on blood type, what wounds they suffer, who attacked them, and what equipment you need on hand can help others. Residents in question can't develop a thing without a license after all or years of work on the side to formulate data. To see what answers you could come up with on the spot was key. As you have to understand the market itself fluctuates. Your decision to use the hospital's actual funds and little tweaks hold merit."

"You work with what you got," Yoko muttered now.

"Exactly, there will be times you don't have everything on hand here or resources can be pulled to other hospitals in question to help them. Sometimes it can be mean the difference of failure or success." Mordin explained to her now.

"Communication, preparation, and understanding what resources on hand for a first-year resident responsibility." she realized the importance now.

Mordin nodded his head in approval. "Yes, you finally understand, but it doesn't stop there after all. Unlike normal hospitals, residents will be forced to undergo surgeries or work as EMT. You will play a part in people's lives in every way possible for instance. One screw up on the table can be fatal, and a lawsuit can hit you badly. Take away your license and the ability to save thousands will be taken away. As well the hospitals funding could be taken away to compensate the wrong individual. It could also hurt its reputation, once your reputation is shot; it's hard getting it back."

"Especially for such a new hospital with much to prove," Yoko added now.

As the noticed the door open now as she saw the director's hospital director Ellen Anders now. She had black hair tied into a braid as her chocolate brown eyes looked at her now. She saw a smile now.

"So she passed huh?" Ellen asked Mordin now.

"With flying colors, I am more than happy to work with her and teach her many things," Mordin told her now.

Ellen nodded her head now. "Good then let's kick start this job of now with you leading surgery kiddo. The professor and I will monitor you during this operation. You will be taking on an operation to remove L2 implant from Rhana Shahrokh a woman from Turkey age 20. Conatix Industries as well the Alliance can't pay or acknowledge her medical condition. Especially since Conatix is out of business. Since you have the most experience in dealing with biotic implants, you will do this surgery." Ellen told her now.

"Now?" Yoko asked her now.

"Yes now, the first part of this exam and theory. Let's see what you got under the knife and time will tell. We have plans for you in question, you will be donating your time to study, clinical work, and EMT works during your first year. If you are lucky, you might be called on to work with Citadel Rapid Response team. Put that combat training of yours to actual use. Come now don't be shy." Ellen told her now.

"I would suggest she must buy or create her own gear," Mordin told her now.

"Well considering the fact she made guns for Ariake technologies she can manage. Who knows if we push one more year you might actually make that nano dart idea work." Ellen said as the blonde got up now.

As she sighed now. "Well it's showtime…" she muttered now. She had a feeling she will be busy now and ever.

The blonde sighed as she sat down at the table now in the lounge area in question. She loved learning, but keeping up with Mordin was hard. As the added pressure of learning procedures, exams, surgeries, and lectures almost made her free time to do stuff was hard. At best she could wear the weight band containing element during her work hours. Get some training at the local gym the hospital has before or after work hours. Four months in question was brutal in question without some way to let off some steam.

Apparently, Dr. Anders loved the idea of nanotech dart, she wanted to try and make it a reality. On top of regular administration duties and meeting with clinical trials.

Now she was spending her time studying until her new task would come in now. She saw her Omni-tool beep now as she looked at it now.

"Hello Yoko come on up to the boardroom top floor." she heard doctor Ellen Ander. As she gathered her stuff now. She quickly took the exit to the stairs first than relied on elevator instead. Odds are people were using it to get ready in a way to go do surgeries in particular.

She made her way up to door now as she saw a room with biometric scanner and decontamination unit. Nothing less the person's DNA on their actual body would get through, and anyone trying to attempt to use their Omni-tool would fail. A modification the Professor made, and she had to install herself. She stood in the small chamber itself now as she saw it wash over her as it cleaned her now.

She gave a minute for it to stop and let her through now. She moved on through the doors as she saw the boardroom before, but she took a detour to the offices to the side soon. She made her way to Dr. Anders office now.

She noticed her working on something in particular on a datapad now. She knocked on the glass now catching her now. As the woman waved to her as the door opened up for her.

She came in and bowed. "Good morning director? How can I help you?" Yoko greeted her now.

The woman sighed now. "You're being too polite again, and I know that there is another Ellen, but call me Andy." the woman in question tried as she might get her not to be some formal. Still, it was in her nature to be polite. Especially when it came from her grandmother's teaching.

Teachers had more respect in the Japanese culture than most. As a well-known proverb came to mind: better than a thousand days of study is one day with a great teacher.

"You know it' hard for me to call more than Director Anders…" Yoko apologized now as she stood at attention now.

"Come not to sit down, I'm not like Professor Solus, wherein keeping up with him is hard," Anders told him now as she sat down in a plush red chair.

"I'm assuming this is performance review right?" Yoko asked her now.

"We do those every six months in particular, but right now you are doing well. I can see the notes people post about you on the page with ease. You are meeting the quota with ease, and your studies have been going smooth. If you weren't Professor Solus wouldn't be teaching at an accelerated rate at all." Anders reassured her now. "Well, we should move on to bigger things in particular as we regard your training. As Dr. T'Perro has been teaching you about emergency treatment, you haven't been seen out in the fields as a technician yet."

"I am riding on the Skybulance?" Yoko asked her now.

Anders shrugged now. "Not quite… I figured you were a person that likes to challenge things in particular. Something you might like in particular that came on my desk." Anders told her as she slid the datapad across now to her now.

As the blonde picked it up to look at it now. "CitSWAT…?" she asked a bit confused now.

"No it's not a career change, but more of opportunity in question. As C-Sec has no medical division at all. It's often regarded we act as a medical division of them, but something to take the stress away at managing medical supplies as well staff. So every now and then the Rapid Response Unit will ask to see if we can send out residents in training, EMT, or actual doctors to participate in actual training." Anders explained.

"Why not…"

"Training their own is impossible. Since C-Sec would look like a true military. It's ill-advised, medical doctors or psychologists can be convinced to let someone go when they aren't ready. In an urban population like this station that is not advisable. However, after sitting down with Executor Venari Pallin, I learned more about the reason why."

"Someone would abuse the medical system to transfer drugs illegally?" Yoko guessed.

"Well you are partly correct, but Turians in question or males I would say have no patience in medical work for starters. However becoming a full-time officer is difficult per se. RRU is called out to handle raids, hostage situations, bombs, heavily armed criminals, riots, and even gangs. So getting someone to learn more than the basics is hard. Yoko, your background in question is a bit different."

"Since I have been training to learn how to defend myself and learn biotics." Yoko pointed out now.

"Of course, besides the good Professor here, you are one of the very few in particular who can join up with CitSWAT or possibly calls to when officers go down. As you see having 200,000 police officer trying to maintain a city of 13 million residents, undocumented children, and possible outside threats is taxing. So calling for C-Sec in question to help save you would be hard after all. It would take time for them to get there and by then…"

"You would be unable to save people, get killed, or held hostage." she finished for the director now.

"Exactly," Anders told her now. "However joining up with the unit in question is tough. They don't make exceptions to human standards it's their way or the open highway. At the same time, you will need to be at the top of your game each month constantly. This will go towards your physical fitness tests here, well not as harsh as their standards though. You can learn practical skills from piloting, marksman training, and tech support. So that drone Rov-r of yours can be modified to help people."

"Nanotech dart idea? I hear it's illegal to make…" Yoko inquired now.

"If it's not controlled setting, it is Yoko and besides that don't work on nanotech combined with medicine anywhere else. Someone can drop the hammer on you hard when I say hard. I mean Spectre hard." Anders told her now.

"By the way how long will I be out from the hospital when doing this training?"

"They will spend the whole seven days next week training you or observing you. You will be expected to live in their quarters during that time so you will need to bring your own stuff in question for the next seven days. If you make it there, you will be asked to join on for training. Then from here on out you will be expected to be in reserves for them. Training in question is exactly one week or eight hours a day to them."

"I suppose I can try, but do I need armor for this or weapons?" She asked the director.

"No weapons and armor just yet… however when you make you will need to buy a custom set of armor or make it. They don't manufacture humans armors in particular. The details will be on the datapad… and one more thing before you go." Anders told her now as she tapped on her terminal now. "We have gentleman downstairs that needs his cybernetic implant readjusted. He is paying top money to make it happen and quickly. So it's added a bonus for you of 50,000 thousand credits."

"A gray box?" Yoko asked her now as the director nodded her head now.

"Yes, he has a big deal today, and he needs his grey box in working condition. It got knocked offline thanks to his head being knockback on the glass in a sky car. So head down to patient room five bottom floor to get him set up. In the long run, we will be donated better equipment thanks to his deal." Anders explained now. "Still I do hate doing things like this, but every bit helps out the hospital in question. To help the less fortunate…"

"You get the aid of the rich to help donate when service is good. I know, but you don't take my donations."

Anders laughed. "Silly no, we can't make donations from people working here and besides thank you for getting us some real human food in the hospital for a good price. We saved a lot of money in question compared to Earth's expenses."

Yoko nodded her head now. "Don't mention it, I think everyone hated how the processed food tasted like in the cafeteria anyway. I will try to get his implant back on track and out within the hour." Yoko told her now.

"Good girl, and try to be earlier to try out okay. Being late disqualifies you from joining up with them until the next four months." Anders warned her as the blonde made a small goodbye to her now.

"Move like you got a purpose! A voice shouted now as a collective groan was heard as Turian general was shouting as instructors were monitoring the recruits in particular now. "I don't even think you part-timers understand this isn't some civilian self-defense class where you can take breaks!"

"The last one who finishes the 26-mile run is out!" one instructor shouted

The blonde panted now as she wore a black and white tracksuit as well with her weights now. She managed to finish first now to the exercise now. She sighed now as sweat poured from her face. She wasn't expecting this at all now as it was no doubt a spectacle or good laugh now.

A majority were Turian in question, except for a few Turians in question. As the drill sergeant in question…

She stopped for a moment to see a blue warp come at her now. She shifted to the side and pulsed a barrier now to deflect it. She saw the blue glow dissipate into tiny lights. She was lucky that biotics taught her how to create and maintain it at all times around her body. It felt natural to do so now.

As she noticed her drill sergeant now. "Recruit, you are done, start running the course now and no biotics!" female Turian shouted as she nodded her head now.

"Yes ma'am." she agreed now as she took off towards the test course now tired. As their drill instructor was mean as hell. Turian biotic got the worst of it in their military in question often being isolated and misused by the Hierarchy. Due to past Cabals in question were treated as infiltrators or assassin's to route people loyal to the Hierarchy.

Since they were feared and separated into a group lead by Kabalim. All of them trained to be skilled in small arms, explosives, infiltration, and training. As well being a medic or possible maintenance worker if their skills weren't up to par. Especially for a long-range reconnaissance mission. Their instructor in question fit in SWAT without a doubt now.

Vaelnea Papimus was no one to cross as she moved through the course now. She saw a body flying at her now. She rolled forward caching her and then flipped out quickly as she began running through the course now.

"Lucky that recruit five here caught your so ass, I said run, not fucking walk! Get the hell off my course waste of space!" Vaelnea shouted as she turned to them now. "As I stated earlier last person is out still!"

"Shouldn't you all be embarrassed that you are letting some ten-year-old human outperform you here just as she did in the Academy. She got that first pick to the premier hospital everyone likes."

She grinned now as she climbs by the rings now. She was no doubt going to be hated by everyone after the day in particular.

As it took a few minutes for her to complete the course nose.

"Recruit five revive this person now!" as another instructor shouted now as she saw the tools on the ground now. She slid across the ground grabbing them as she made it over to the person now. They had a cover on both sides to hide the body from view.

She began administering first aid as she quickly noticed the wounds made now on this Turian male. She promptly started going through the list of things now. She saw the body in question now.

"Braindead," she called it now as she told him now. As the Turian nodded his head now. "Drop your equipment to the ground and move to end of the platform," he told her now as she was told.

A group of people covertly carried out Asari body now and carried the Turian one away far. She made her way to the end now sweating now. She saw the man Tom Harkin sitting there now as he tossed her sports drink now.

"Not bad princess, you made it through the first day through hell," Harkin told her now as she drank from the bottle tasting some berry solution now.

"You tried out for this before…" she gasped now.

"Tried, but their damn standards are hard… been working on the beat since I can't make into any other squad without requirements. Apparently joining at the beginning was a bad thing. C-Sec didn't take my qualifications seriously, or it's no good in question. Joining that prestigious Academy here you have to compete with every damn Salarian, Asari, and Turian alike their just to get a damn spot. It seems being augmented, and rich have their perks."

"If that were so then someone like Miranda Lawson would have gotten in herself. She was augmented by birth to be better than I." she told him now. "Besides that having a photographic is key after all and learning how to take needed shortcuts to get ahead. At best have VI help record lectures and break them down for you for review. Don't party at all during the college days, when you can study."

She sat down in crossed her legs now. "Even so, I'm not going to stay in their arrogant school, but be careful here. Your dad being a war hero killing hundreds of Turians during the First Contact isn't something to scoff at. Hell Vaelnea herself made you do double what they did in particular during the running portion." Harking told her now.

She nodded her head now. "I'm assuming she has an ax to grind with my dad?" Yoko asked him now.

"Who knows, but I'm going on the beat now in the Kithoi wards in an hour," Harkin told her as he left now.

She took some time to reflect on that there have initially been eighty people here today and six were already kicked out, to begin with now for not complying with Valenea's orders, complaining, or at best walked out.

As the incentive of working here with the SWAT here for most was the money even being a part-time guaranteed you 100,000 credits a year also if you don't see action. Just be ready was enough in their book now was enough. However, that was unlikely since crime doesn't stop. Top of the line healthcare was another, and it was paid for. The fact that this training can boost someone's career from mere EMT to a Paramedic patch. So their pay would go up significantly or be considered more when joining a hospital.

For those who wanted to do more like work for Galactic Doctors Without Borders. Another human concept that reached the stars getting it here means high respect in people eyes. They often worked Sirta Foundation or help groups in particular.

That was something she was aiming for in particular instead of being bound by a hospital or work on inventions to improve the medical community in question. Technology dealing with saving and repairing the brain was lackluster to say. People knew how to put implants in without problems, but lacked ways of getting them out without damage. Preserving things like memories need a gray box, but even that was iffy itself. Waking up a coma patient was questionable as well.

She snapped out of her thought to see the group now working on the bodies in question now. Instructors were turning them away now. Some of the people on the ground were alive, and some weren't like the one she had now.

She saw her instructor watch them like a hawk now as she shook her head now. "You are supposed to be trained professionals, and you can't make a call within three minutes than your no good to anyone. Maybe you all should go back to school with this." Vaelnea chastised them.

"If no one here was tired I bet, they can accurately determine the problem… maybe it was the fact they had no Omni-tools to help them out with diagnosing them." she thought now.

As the Turian was teaching them no doubt the actual way of doing things now. She saw 39 people make it over to the edge tired now.

"Stand at attention recruits!" Vaelnea ordered now as the blonde jumped up and put down her bottle immediately.

As the group made a solid line now standing at attention now. "How many with a show of hands thought you come into this program cold?"

As she saw a lot of hands now as the Turian Captain turned to look at the wall now. She gestured for the male Turian sitting there to come up quickly.

He came up to address the group now as she noticed this was Executor Venari Pallin now. "For those who don't know me I'm Executor Venari Pallin, I thank you for coming out, but being here in SWAT even part-time means you need to have preparation, initiative, and courage. Vaelnea seems cruel, but if you can't make it here, heading out into wards on an emergency anything could happen." He told them now. "Omni-tools can be hit by EMP's, communications scrambled, criminals, pointing guns at you, and the list goes on. You may not be on our payroll, but working the job you want is dangerous. Since I took office, do you know how many fatalities we had on medical personnel trying to come into wards to do a pickup? Come now not is the time to speak."

"Too many…" one Asari spoke up now.

Pallin nodded his head now. "Exactly too many people have died either from air traffic or transportation for starters. However, exposure to chemicals and gunfire makes it pretty high on the list. You all have a dangerous job just like us, some may be working on their way to being doctors. Good for you, but the problem is when a crisis happens. Officers will be hard pressed in handling the problem. Guess what you will all be forced to watch your backs on the job." he explained to them now. "Vaelnea may be rough, but the skills she will introduce to you help you and in turn save more lives.

He nodded his head now to Vaelnea now as she turned to the group were kicked out now. "You forty will have a second chance to prove yourself in the next fours more or drop out. Do you best improve on your physical fitness and knowledge," she told them now. "Right now you all lacking the basics."

As the group moved out of the room now to leave now as the female Turian turned towards the group of forty soon. "You forty that passed this test, it's not guaranteed you can stay with us. You have to be vigilant with this training as you do your job. So before we start if anyone in question feels like they can't do this no more. Walk on out now, you can try again later."

The blonde yees now seeing some Asari leave now and Salarian now.

"Damn…" Yoko thought now as she saw a majority of them leave now leaving seven people including her now.

Vaelnea nodded her head now. I can work with seven sir."

Pallin nodded his head now. "Good, I will make preparations with the workshop to get the equipment ready then and techs ready to make custom armor," Pallin told her as he made his way off now of the training room now.

Vaelnea stood looking at them now. "There are three things you must understand now since you will be me combat medics." She addressed them now. "Good men and women die. Medics can't stop rule 1 from happening. The medic is willing to die to prevent 1 and 2 from dying. Is that understood."

"Yes ma'am!" they shouted.

"Good, now we will move on to some real training tomorrow, for now, we will get you all set up for the future. In the morning we will wake up at 0500 and train to 0800 hours. Then we will move on to breakfast afterward. Around 0900 to 1200 hours we do study time with each other. 1400 hours to 1500 hours we will do gun training in particular. Afterward, we will do teamwork training 1500 to 1700 hours. Then you will get dinner, and then you will have free time. I will make the most of it learning material or take time learning how to shoot before lights out at 1900 hours." she explained now. "It leaves no room for true free time, unless you a Salarian of course, but you will be tired from the training. I will assure of that." Vaelnea explained to them now.

"For the even the days we will take special time out to take you into the field and see first hand how we do things at 0600 hours and we work to 1200 hours with breakfast on the go. Lunch can he handle afterward, but we will move on to special training… at 1300 hours to marksmen training to 1500 and we go from their learning how to fix medical equipment. Then we repeat the day before. Each time we will move forward learning new material until you master it. No one here is going to be a burden on the team itself. Just know if you are out on duty you can handle problems yourself. I guarantee."

"Yes ma'am." the group before her course now.

"Before we go any further who here is biotic?" Valenea asked them.

As the blonde raised her hand now. "I am ma'am," she responded promptly.

"We will incorporate biotics into the training sessions itself, you will learn how to pull with your mind and shoot targets with a rifle if need be. Everyone fall out and hit the showers, where some clean underwear as well. You will need to be almost naked in question for the armor techs to scan you." Vaelnea asked her now.

Salarian felt bold now as she nodded her head now. "Ma'am, we will get a choice to make customized armor instead of wearing stock?" he asked her now.

"No medic in question will wear stock material recruit, that's insane, but you will get some upgrades to keep you alive longer than most. If you have technical skills or the money I would suggest making the best damn armor you can." Vaelnea told them now. "You will all be getting a crash course in every weapon available. We will start with using Elanus Risk Control Service weapons. Unless you have your own arms, but be sure to grab them for inspection as well.'

She looked over to a Salarian now walking with a datapad now. "We will also be replacing civilian grade Omni-tools with level 5 versions Captain Papmius. If you want a higher grade, in particular, we will have to buy it. On that note, you will all need to have First Priority Burst package to receive calls without delay. So I want a show of hands who has Omni-tool above level 5?"

Yoko raised her hand now as Salarian nodded his head now. "What level and brand?"

"I have a level X Logic Arrest Omni-tool from Ariake Technologies and Level X Cipher Omni-tool by Elkoss Combine." She answered him now.

He wrote it down now. "Good shield bonus of twenty-five percent, twenty percent faster cool down a process, and medical program cooldowns match the former. Nice and the Cipher is only for non-relevant material right I imagine a fifteen percent increase in shields and cool down is not needed."

Yoko nodded her head as he began checking them off now from the group now. "Only one doesn't need an upgrade." Vaelnea pointed out now.

"True, and if we will need to replace all terminals since civilians ones have no power to their processors. I would suggest them hitting the showers and… the recruit five to make her own."

Vaelnea looked at him now. "Really?" She asked him now.

"Recruit five has a degree in computer and electrical engineering. In regards to armor in question, Yoko is too small, and the fact we don't produce human armor is problematic. She has also listed she has prototype weapons from Ariake Technologies as well. She is the creator of the gun line after all." he told her. "Furthermore we need to introduce the program properly to them when they download them. So I suggest I can squeeze in time during our scheduled to show them a thing or two. The last we need is that activate their Omni-tool and deploy a program on themselves."

Vaelnea nodded her head now. "Okay recruits fall out and hit the showers. Meet back here in thirty minutes. Anyone that comes back later than that we will do another training succession, understood?" Vaelnea asked them.

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Move out then!" as their instructor shouted as the moved fast to the showers now.
