1300 hours June 2 2185—Gozu district—Lower Omega (Anonymous)
Shepard? Who the fuck is that and why should I care? Tell me when one stupid Alliance branded fuck ever bothered to do something for my city. Omega is a crumbling pile of vipers but do you see any aid coming? No.
Our cabinet is more corrupt than that citadel council's wildest dreams. Hell some of us don't have roofs over our heads and now thanks to that stupid Jellyfish we voted into office, a single person can't legally get a roof over their heads. Imagine that, you escape the pisshole situation of your home country, come to the land of opportunity only to discover that you can't live alone because this place needs you to shack up with someone else.
No, no I haven't seen your precious hero. What are you, deaf? No that was Archangel. Yeah the only one who seems to give a fuck these days. It was about two months ago when I decided to take a short cut home. I know it's stupid so don't give me that look.
It was a long shift at the bar and I just wanted to go home without being tempted by an asari for once. So I took the alleys. These backstreet vorcha surround me and start screeching their demands.
Now I'm no dummy, I know how this works so I pull out my credits. What's a few freaking credits for my face, eh? But these fuckers don't want my face. They don't want my money either.
At this point I'm shitting bricks because there's no way I can take them all on and save my manhood too. We're not all packing hardware here.
Then out of nowhere I see the most beautiful flash of biotics I've ever seen. You wouldn't believe it, they weren't your regular blues, it was something dark. Anyways these assholes disintegrate right before my eyes, it's like someone was breaking them down cell-by-cell until they were nothing.
What you don't believe me? Well yeah I know he uses a sniper rifle but people say he works in a team. Whoever she was, was obviously part of his team.
Ah what the fuck do you know, you strut around in that armor all day long what can you possibly see from inside that tin-can of yours. Me? I'm just a simple bartender. I can bet my human ass that this woman, force or whatever works for Archangel. Hell one day I hope he chases all the bureaucrats out of here so that Omega can go back to the way it's always been. Run by the people for the people. Yeah we're not all criminal scum around these parts some of us want a life here too.
I should be thankful because I work for the Queen? Oh excuse me Mr. Alliance but what do you know about working for Aria? That bitch couldn't run a club to save her life let alone an entire city. Why do you think she likes this constant stalemate between her and the other gangs. Trust me if she had real power those fucks on Surface Omega would get a taste of their own medicine. No, she's nothing but a big fish in a small pond, bullying the other fish into dancing to her tune.
And no it wasn't Liselle that saved me it was Archangel how many times do I have to say it? That woman worked for him, she had to. I've seen Liselle's pathetic biotics, there were nothing compared to that force of nature. Besides I hear that one's dead now. Good riddance. Now if that same son of a bitch would take care of Queen Aria and the rest, then we'd be getting somewhere.
No, I don't have time to search for your lost Shepard. I have actual work to do. I'm done with your stupid questions so either order a drink or get out.
A/N: Many thanks to unkeptsecret who introduced me to this style of writing. Let me know what you think!
