Kolyat Krios remained on board of Normandy for the time before Shepard would help him discover a mystery about robbery in Huerta memorial hospital. After the party evening, Garrus needed help with getting back to Normandy and since Shepard wasn't in mood to get drunk somehow particularly, he helped Garrus who needed to lay down because the next time he would wake up, he experienced horrible hangover. Soon as Normandy left the Citadel's docking bay, Shepard contacted Anderson for doing a quick report.
"Commander?"
"Counselor, this is Kolyat Krios. He is son of Thane Krios and he works for C-Sec on the Citadel. We've came across problem that is related to him."
"I know Kolyat. What problem?"
"Shortly after we left your office with Garrus, we were told that Huerta memorial hospital was robbed. Many blood bags of Kolyat's blood were stolen and the offender left no sign."
"It's quite coincidence. I was informed that Rakhana, home world of drell experienced something similar."
"Our home? What happened?" Kolyat asked.
"It seems that there was a transport of Thane Krios' body."
"Father…?"
"Anderson, Thane's dead! Why would they try to get his body?"
"I don't know, Shepard. But it is strange fact that at the same time when Thane's body was transported, there was the robbery on the Citadel. And if robbers were searching for Kolyat's blood, unique type that can be donated only to Thane, there is no doubt that it's connected."
"To me it sounds like they are trying to bring Thane back to life but… that is impossible." Shepard said, shaking his head.
"Shepard, we also thought you would be dead three years ago. Cerberus brought you back."
"So you want to say that Resurrected Cerberus with Wraith is trying to revive Thane the same way they did it to me?"
"It's only an assumption, but who knows what Wraith is capable of. Maybe you should take a look at Rakhana and find more information before we will send you to another assignment."
"Counselor? Before you go, can I ask why didn't the Alliance inform me about investigation of my ship?"
"We cannot lose time by sending you to examining a wreckage. We already sent a team to do that. Anderson out." Anderson said and stopped the vid-com.
"Commander, if what counselor said is true, then I must stay on board. I need to know the truth whether my father is going to be alive or not."
"What will you do if we find out?"
"If father is going to live, I must see him and let him know I have never forgotten about him. If he will not live, I must take revenge for desecrating the body of dead."
"Wouldn't you do either way? When somebody's dead, he shouldn't be disturbed from his sleep."
"Commander… that is quite difficult to explain. I didn't have much time to talk to my father. If he is going to live, I can finally spend more time with him."
"Understood. I'll be at the galaxy map if you need anything."
"Thank you, commander." Kolyat thanked him and Shepard went to the galaxy map. At the same time, Resurrected Cerberus received Thane's body and the blood bags. Wraith was talking to Grunt and Kasumi again, this time evaluating their actions.
"Both of you did great on your mission. Both, Thane's body and those blood bags are already in the medical bay."
"Why did we do this? I think this is ethically wrong. Thane was a good man so I think he doesn't deserve this."
"It's funny to hear that from thief like you, Kasumi!" Grunt laughed.
"I knew Thane personally, Kasumi. I know he deserves rest, but I need him right now. I know he won't be in state to do the missions, but that's not why I need him. It's something personal. Something that I need Thane to help me with." Wraith said and went towards the wide glass window, watching the star.
"Can we know what it is?" Kasumi asked.
"No, Kasumi. It could affect your concentration. Now go and complete more assignments." Wraith said and holographs disappeared. Wraith decided to see progress on Thane Krios' body so he went in the laboratories and headed to the Intensive Care Unit. The door opened and the single batarian who worked at the console ignored Wraith coming in the room.
"How did you progress?" Wraith asked and the batarian got startled by his hoarse voice.
"Master?! He uh… I'm already doing the blood transfusion."
"Good. When can I see him on feet?"
"With the most respect, I must remind you that I am no scientist, neither doctor. Also, if we managed to bring him back to life, it would take long time. Commander Shepard was being revived for two years."
"I am patient… wait…" Wraith looked at the batarian who sensed problem, "Why did you say 'if we managed to bring him back to life'?"
"We… we cannot be certain whether this will work or not. He suffered from Kepler's syndrome after all…" the batarian told him and Wraith came closer to him. He grabbed the batarian under his neck with his left arm and bashed with him against the console, "Gah! Master! No!" he exclaimed as Wraith choked him.
"Shepard was torn apart when Cerberus found him! Yet they brought him to life! You have exactly the same equipment so don't tell me this isn't going to work!"
"I… I need something more!" the batarian said under tight grip of Wraith's. He eased his grip and pinned the batarian to the wall, looking at his face. Then he uncovered his right hand, forming a biotic sphere in it.
"Tell me what you need…"
"I need… doctors, scientists! I cannot do this myself! Maybe salarians would help!" the batarian pushed out and Wraith approached with the biotic sphere to his face.
"I will give you everything you need. I will find you the best ones. For that, I want Thane Krios to stand on his feet, healthy and alive with no sign of Kepler's syndrome affecting his health! Do you understand?" Wraith asked and the batarian merely nodded. He could finally feel the grip releasing, letting him to breathe easily, "I don't want any wasted life under my command. Don't forget what happened to your former emperor." Wraith added and left the batarian alone. At the same time, Shepard, Liara and Kolyat visited the graveyard on the Rakhana planet.
They searched for signs that would lead them to Resurrected Cerberus. Kolyat led the way to Thane's grave.
"Shouldn't be these graves secured with some sort of defense mechanism?" Shepard asked.
"They are. Cerberus probably found a way to bypass it. We are not attacked because the security system recognized my DNA." Kolyat explained.
"So the drell are allowed to enter the graveyard." Liara added.
"Yes. No drell companion, no entrance." Kolyat said and then they stopped by the opened grave of Thane, "So, here it is. My father's grave."
"So what are we looking for exactly?" Liara asked.
"Evidences. Something that might help us to get detailed information about Resurrected Cerberus. Possibly how they avoided the security." Shepard explained and all of them got in exploration. Shepard looked around the other graves, Liara checked the terminal near the defense systems and Kolyat explored the grave itself. After five minutes, they assembled.
"I found nothing around other graves. Liara?" Shepard said.
"There was a short moment of Grunt and two batarians passing through graveyard. Also I found some communication link between Grunt and Wraith."
"Great work, Liara. Kolyat?"
"I've found this…" Kolyat showed Liara and Shepard some kind of orb.
"What is that?" Shepard narrowed his eyebrows.
"Don't know, commander. They must have left this while leaving because we don't put these into graves."
"I think I saw these before. They are remote holograph projectors. This allows their user to negotiate with somebody across large distance. Wraith must be using these to talk with others while convincing them to join him. It is convenient for him because he doesn't risk getting caught, assassinated or letting his real identity being discovered."
"Sounds more like he's coward. He doesn't have balls to show himself up. Either way, let's go back." Shepard suggested and together with Kolyat and Liara he returned back to board of Normandy. As soon as Shepard, Kolyat and Liara went out of the elevator, a desperate calling for help sounded through third deck.
"Shepard-commander?! HELP!"
"Legion!" Shepard, Kolyat and Liara ran to help Legion. They opened the door where the calling for help was coming from, seeing something totally unexpected.
"Help!" Legion whined. As soon as Shepard and Liara noticed deactivated Daniel and Legion helplessly lying on the ground, Liara got into laugh. The turian baby and asari one were crawling over Legion who didn't dare to move.
"Oh Shepard! That's so cute!" she said, holding back her laugh.
"Heh… those little two are already getting basic training!" Shepard crossed his arms and laughed to the situation. Liara and Shepard went over to Legion, taking care of Denos and Mira so Legion could stand up.
"What happened that you ended up like that?" Shepard asked with amused smile.
"Creator Tali'Zorah and Garrus Vakarian had to complete something. They entrusted me and Daniel with the little ones but… accidentally they deactivated him and then I ended up on the ground as the turian blinded my optic sensor. I didn't want to do anything to them so I rather stayed on the ground, hoping for you to arrive soon."
"It's ok, Legion. Now go with Daniel and take some time to get from this." Shepard offered.
"Acknowledged, Shepard-commander." Legion said and activated Daniel who recognized the place. He followed Legion out of the room. Liara followed them because she needed to ask Legion for complete analysis of the remote holographic projector.
