A/N: I forgot to mention that it took a few days to fully change the Hawk's fuel lines and other parts essential to that. That lets Shepard rescue Dr. T'Soni and travel to a few other planets. Sorry for the long wait, but I, personally, was shocked when Bioware created the Revan teaser video, I found it the day after posting the chapter before. My story has been destroyed, partly. I say that because of the Sith that gives you the quest stated "Before his(Revan) rebirth he was both Sith and Jedi." and at the very end when, you guess it(SPOILER ALERT) HK-47 in all of his glory aiming a rifle at the player/Sith.


Two more Elanus Risk Control Services members arrived soon after Matsuo and the others left. Revan turned to the armor covered Trossk, "My friend, now would be a good time to practice your 'hospitality' as you guide this turian in his inspection of the ship."

Trossk nodded his head as he handed the chain off to Cina and lead the ERCS guard to the ship. Once inside Trossk practiced his mind trick abilities, an ability he's started to get better at, "You have thoroughly inspected the ship."

Like others who have fallen for this trick he repeated Trossk, "I have…thoroughly inspected the ship."

Trossk continued, "You did not find anything out of the ordinary onboard."

"I did…I did not find anything out of the ordinary onboard."


About five minutes past when Trossk and the guard returned from the Hawk. In his normal speech pattern the guard told the others, "I thoroughly went through the ship and I didn't find anything out of the ordinary onboard."

Revan and Cina had also manipulated the minds of the two guards as one of them said, "We have asked all we need and they are clear to enter. Enjoy your visit to Noveria."

T3 had some trouble when he encountered some stairs but with help from Trossk he got past them. They reached what looked like a scanner and as they passed through the blue lights, nothing. Not even when HK-47 or T3-M4 went through. Well that's a good thing; our weapons don't seem to register as weapons here.

With everyone inside the elevator they listened to a recording as it took them up, "Welcome to Port Hanshan, the galaxy's most respected site for independent scientific research and development. For your own safety and to protect the privacy of others, you are required to obey any directions given by our security personnel. If you have questions or concerns, our friendly administrative staff is always available. Thank you and enjoy your stay."

"That was slow. Are all elevators in this galaxy this slow?"

Everyone quickly answered Cina simultaneously, "Yes."

Exploring the area they first try visiting the Synthetic Insights office only to see it was closed. A nearby turian in blue and orange clothing walked over to them, "See you guys are trying to get into the SI's office. Sorry to inform yea' but Anoleis has shut them down until further notice."

Revan politely asked, "Why was SI shut down and who is this Anoleis you speak of?"

The turian answered, "Mr. Anoleis is the administrator for Port Hanshan. Nothing happens here that he doesn't know about or at least that's what it's supposed to be."

Revan then asked, "Could you direct me to Mr. Anoleis or someone from Synthetic Insights?"

The turian shrugged, "Sure, why not. Mr. Anoleis' office is on the other side of the plaza. But if you want someone from SI, you might as well go for the head guy. The manager is a turian named Lorik Qui'in. He should be near the hotel, up the stair and an elevator ride away."

T3 was beeping complaining about all of the stairs here.

Trossk also had similar thoughts about it, Why? You're having fun at my expense, Fate, forcing me to lug T3 around because it can't climb stairs.

"Thank you for the information…" Revan could have easily learned his name from reading his mind but there were times when doing that was inappropriate and this was one of them.

"Just call me Li. You humans have a hard time trying to say my full name. Good luck, you're gonna need it." The turian walked back to where he was earlier.


After climbing two more sets of stairs, Trossk was starting to feel the exhaustion from carrying the droid. Once inside the elevator Esura asked, "Can we please trash the chains here? Otherwise I'll start thinking of plans to kill most of these guards."

Revan only said, "Patience, we're almost there. We find where this 'mother' is being held and we can remove those after we leave."

Almost imminently after they got out of the elevator Revan and the others spotted a turian, alone sitting at a round table. As they approached him, the turian noticed both HK and T3 commenting, "Truly amazing…I would like the opportunity to study both units if they are for sale."

Revan sat down in the other chair at the table, "Only if they were made by the Protheans, otherwise I plan to keep them. Same for the ship I brought." With the omni-tool he displayed the Ebon Hawk.

Qui'in activated his omni-tool and scanned both droids and 'caught' the data Revan displayed. He looked through the data then said, "Undeniably they are all unique but sadly none of them are Prothean in design. If you are still interested though, I wouldn't mind paying you for these two fine machines at least."

Revan put up his hand, "That won't be necessary. As I said, I only planned on selling them if they were Prothean made. Now we just need to head over to Binary Helix to inquire about this creature then we can leave this ice ball."

But as Revan was standing up Qui'in stopped him, "Well you seem to have bad timing then human. If you haven't heard, my office has been closed for the moment and Peak 15 has gone silent. The weather is also too severe for shuttles at the moment."

"I feel there is something you're not telling me." Revan used the Force to see Qui'in was holding information back.

The turian simply smiled, rather difficult from most to tell, "Indeed. If you wish to travel to the Binary Helix facility you'll need access to the garage to drive there. Only manages have garage passes."

Remembering what Li said Revan determined, "I would take it that you would have one then my friend?"

Qui'in took a drink, "Like I told the human Spectre, I do. Regrettably for you, I have already made a deal with the Spectre. I don't know of another way for you to gain access into the garage."

Revan smiled underneath his mask, "We'll find a way. Thank you for your time Mr. Qui'in."

Lorik Qui'in nodded to Revan, as they returned to the elevator. Cina turned to Revan, "So I'm assuming that one of us well persuade the guard then."

Trossk said, "Do not fret yourself Master, I shall take the burden. Besides, I need more practice with mind tricks right?"

HK waited until they were out of the audible range of any meatbags and successfully jammed audio and video surveillance systems. "Query: T3 unit have you also detected what I have detected?"

T3 answered him saying he has detected a number of communication channels not used or known by this galaxy's organics.

"As expected. Statement: Master we have detected a number of communications not originating with any meatbags on this planet. One channel containing a number of organics providing updates and information, and several channels heavily encrypted and unknown to any meatbag. Speculation: It is probable the signals originated with the geth. From what I have determined the T3 unit and I would not be able to infiltrate the network without being detected. Suggestion: I could communicate to the geth and lie stating that I have come to assist them, bringing meatbags to assist as well. Master it would be best if you and the Exile were to be hidden until an appropriate time."

Surprised Revan said, "HK, you don't want to engage in a fight against the geth? What about being 'eager to engage in some unadulterated violence'?"

HK-47 was never one to shy away from a fight but, "Answer: Yes, well…I would rather not engage against other A.I. units until necessary. Correction: The current geth network active on this planet is rather strong and if the Spectre, the turian meatbag informed us about, is also attempting to access the garage, we can only assume he will engage any geth forces between here and the Peak 15 facility. Thus removing several of them and weakening the geth processing power making them less intelligent, as indicated by the Codex."

While riding the elevator Revan thought about what HK asked and decided that they would do what HK suggested…for now.


As planned HK-47, after protecting himself from all possible hacking attempts with T3 assistance, made contact with the geth network and was able to convince them to allow safe passage to the Peak 15 facility. The geth believed HK-47 and T3-M4 were going to assist them while bringing two organic slaves that will die fighting for them. The geth were cautious but they were willing to meet with HK and his associates at the facility before passing final judgment. They did warn him that if they were not as he said they were, the geth would engage HK and the others.


Reaching the garage, the guard stopped them, "Access to the garage is restricted."

Trossk waved left hand as he stared into her eyes, "We have authorization to enter the garage."

"Yes…you have authorization to enter the garage. Drive safely. The weather's supposed to be pretty bad out in the Aleutsk Valley." With that the guard unlocked the door and let the four of them through.

Invisible, Revan and Cina accompanied the others as they entered one of the two M29 Grizzly stored in the garage. The tank drove like a sandcrawler with a cannon mounted on top. Inside the tank they removed Esura's chains and returned her weapons. As promised the geth let them proceed without incident letting them drive safely to Peak 15's garage entrance. Once past the first doorway one of the loudspeakers shouted, "Out of the tank!"

Complying everyone, including an invisible Revan and Cina, exit the tank. The moment everyone was in front of the second door, it opened and several volleys of red balls past them hitting the tank, destroying the engine.

HK was priming his rifle when he pulled himself back, "Expletive: Damn it you stupid organic meatbags! You almost fried my circuits with that! Condescending Statement: Can meatbag help get any less efficient?"

Without warning a large red geth walked towards them. It made a stuttering sound with its face plates as it examined them. After looking at all of them it turned its full attention to HK.

It can only be assumed it was asking HK questions but HK's responds were clear. "Affirmation: Why of coarse these two are completely obedient to me. Why without me they would already have seceded functioning. Probably because of me. Statement: They have had their uses, playing as my masters when involving ourselves in meatbag space." There was a pause from HK-47 as the geth continued to look over them.

"Statement: Why this little one is my maintenance helper and can hack any system I cannot. It has proven its loyalty to me time and time again as well as its dislike for most meatbags."

T3 began shaking and yelling at HK about his lies he was saying about him. Oddly enough though, the geth couldn't understand a word, or beep, T3 uttered.

"Translation: I am most eager to eliminate any meatbags you tell us to target. Observation: I've noticed that you yourself have a number of meatbags surrounding you as well." The geth flashed its plates at HK again.

"Suggestion: Instead of wasting my talent out here; where the enemy will obviously be expecting a large number of hostiles, we should be placed as far in the facility as possible. The enemy will be tired, injured and unprepared for our assault. These meatbags are expendable and we will achieve our objective." The large geth was motionless for a second then it stepped aside.

"Statement: Of course, I will close and lock the doors behind us. We will precede post haste." HK turned to Trossk and Esura, "Threat: Move it you pathetic meatbags or I'll blast your entrails all across the room! Command: You, canned meatbag. Carry my associate up the stairs unless you want to be thrown down the ravine with broken kneecaps!" Esura moved on while Trossk was having trouble lifting T3, but it didn't help when HK-47 smacked the butt of his rifle against his back. "Faster!"

Trossk let out a short scream while thinking to himself, Damn assassin is enjoying all of this.


Once past a pair of doors and inside an elevator, Revan and Cina decloaked to discuss recent events. "HK-47, was all of that really necessary to convince them?"

"Assurance: Master if I could not establish that my story was truth, they would have started attacking us and I would rather keep my parts intact. Why the very nature of an assassin droid is to conceal my abilities until the last possible opportunity with no chance of being reviled to the greater galaxy. These geth are a network. If left alone for too long, data might be sent about us that will provoke the others to an appropriate response which will likely involve finding protection against our weaponry or tactics."

Trossk had to ask before he became tempted to shot the droid, "Did you have to hit me?"

HK turned to Trossk, "Explanation: Why if I didn't hit one of you they might have become suspicious about my story. Recollection: That armor of yours does however remind me of that Mandalorian that salvaged me and attempted to us me against a Mandalore. His repairs were shooty and my sensory systems relived those agonizing modifications. But hitting you did bring a glow to my behavior core similar to when I executed said Mandalorian, uncontrollably mind you."

Trossk hissed and sarcastically said, "Glad I could help you feel better, damn killing machine."

T3 then warned the others about more geth in the next area before the elevator stopped.

HK also warned them, "Alert: My audio receptors have detected weapon's fire from the garage where we met the geth. Extrapolation: I believe the one known as Commander Shepard and his team have arrived."

Even without HK telling them, Revan and Cina could sense an echo in the Force, one of pain and loss but with a great destiny before it. Instead of proceeding Revan asked T3 to jam the area's communications and were now waiting to meet this Spectre.


HK-47's left arm opened a compartment on his forearm revealing the hidden flamethrower, "Expletive: Damn this weather! The cold is starting to freeze my joints." HK then turned the flames on himself warming his parts and melting the ice that was starting to form on him. HK had toned down the flames intensity so his parts would not be damaged by the short bursts he strayed himself with.

T3 started to beep that he wanted the flames to heat his parts as well.

Reluctantly, HK pointed his arm at the utility droid, "Stipulation: Remember this the next time you want to zap me with that shock arm of yours."

Esura and Trossk were also gathered near the droid for the heat.


Another minute passed when the elevator was summoned back down to the garage. Shepard and his squad had cleared the geth thus far on Noveria, and a few krogan. With him were, Prothean expert, Dr. Liara T'Soni and former C-Sec officer, Garrus Vakarian. Taking the elevator down they were expecting to run into more geth, instead when the elevator opened they were in for a bigger surprise. They encountered four strangely armored individuals, at least one human, the others unknown and two mechs were with them.

Liara whispered to the group, "Be careful Shepard. I'm not sure I like the look any of them are giving us." It was true that Dr. T'Soni had little interaction with others but that didn't mean her intuition was not wrong.

Before Garrus or Shepard could say anything, the masked figure stopped them. He then wrote something out of the snow that looked like a fusion of kanji, Greek and Sanskrit. They didn't understand until they looked at the human woman mouthing the words: play along.

The masked man in black nodded to the red humanoid mech as it then turned to face them. It began to speak loudly, "Amused Statement: Commander Shepard, I would expect no less from a meatbag who holds such an esteemed title."

Shepard, unsure what to expect, played along like the woman mouthed, "You seem to know me. So who, or what, are you?"

The menacing machine replied loudly, "Condescending Answer: Introductions are not needed once you have been terminated. Command: All units terminate Shepard and company!"

As Shepard and his team readied their weapons on the mech an unknown force jerked their aim as soon as they squeezed the trigger. Suddenly they could feel their other weapons being removed and firing at the walls.

Soon the red mech looked at the smaller blue one and counted down with its hand. Then a sharp high pitch sound started emitting from the little machine and the man with the mask extended a hand, "Sorry for the scare just now. We had to convince the geth we were on their side. It is safe for us to speak while my friend here continues to jam all communications."

It took a few good looks, but Garrus thought he had seen most of them before. "Careful, Shepard. A friend of my, from Tayseri Ward, send me a message sometime after we left the Citadel. He told me about a group that had escaped from the Citadel, without the use of the Mass Relay. Everyone but the human woman and the little mech match the descriptions. The heavy armor was worn by a lizard without the gloves, boots or helmet but I can't image armor like that anywhere in the galaxy."


Revan congratulated the turian, "You intuition seems to serve you well and I feel they will continue to serve you in time, but we haven't been on the Citadel for over a month." He then turned his attention back to the commander, "From what I can determine, it seems our goals both lie deeper within this facility. That is why I believe it would be mutually beneficial for us to work together, for the time being."

The human identified as Shepard was cautious, "How can we trust you? For all we know you can be agents for Saren or Benezia."

Cina tried to calm them, "We only know what we have learned from the extranet; if the Saren you speak of is Spectre Saren Arterius, then all we know is that he is the youngest turian to be accepted as a Spectre and one of the Council's best. Beyond that and pictures they had we do not know him. We've never heard of this Benezia woman…I mean…asari, you speak of." Cina had to use the Force to be certain Benezia was an asari. "We're here to rescue…someone."

The turian with Shepard asked, "Who? How do you know anyone from this facility?"

Esura was next to HK's recently heated flamethrower arm yelling at them in Kaleesh, (We can discuss all of that after we turn the heat back on!)

Trossk, who was also on HK's left murmured to himself, "Fate, you have lead us to this meeting, now let us see if your brother, Destiny, also wishes to intervene."

Before they continued Revan moved towards the door. "Please wait. To show we are not with Saren or this Benezia, I will deal with all of the geth on the other side of this door." Revan gabbed one of his lightsabers and opened the door.

The geth at the far left began firing at him but he blocked all of the metal slugs using only the Force to deflect it back at the geth. A second geth appeared behind a wall also firing at Revan. Revan activated they cyan lightsaber and, with the electromagnetism affecting the metal slugs and covering the lightsaber, deflected some of them with it while using the Force to 'catch' the rest. The first geth was taken down from deflected shots and before it fell, Revan used Force Speed to slice the second geth in two. In between a pair of structures a third geth tried to attack Revan but was launched by a powerful Force Push into a wall leaving an imprint of the geth crushing most of the body. A pair of geth were on the stairway when Revan simply used his Droid Destroy power causing the geth to explode into white goo and parts. Revan openly used the power of the Force because he was obscured by the wall and T3's jamming signals.

Revan deactivated the blade and shouted to the others, "All clear. T3, you can stop shouting now."

HK then said, "Commentary: Yes, your incessant screeching on so many audio levels was starting to annoy my audio receptors."

Cina and the others proceed, but Shepard and his teams were visibly hesitant.


Garrus wasn't sure about this, keeping the conversation between the three of them, "Shepard can we really trust them? I mean the red mech looks like a geth for crying out loud. So what he took out a few geth, what will happen when we run into Benezia?"

Shepard didn't like the situation just as much as Garrus did but he had no intentions of starting a fight, "Until we know what they want we should cooperate for the time being."


As Esura got closer to Revan, she caught the scent of something that didn't feel right to her. She pulled out a pair of blades and was hissed. Trossk had also smelled this unusual scent and readied his Zersium rifle as well.

Revan and Cina had just felt a number of hostile minds. They were primal, animalistic, yet their potential was far greater. Instinctively, they had their hands on their lightsabers, but instead readied their blasters.

HK and T3's sensors also detected movement and thermal emissions. T3 was all abuzz about this new unseen threat as HK-47 primed his blaster.


Shepard, Garrus and Liara also had their weapons at the ready as a sudden banging started to ring out. Then a series of loud bangs that started to echo throughout the facility. Liara scanned the area, "What was that?"

Trying to calm the doctor, and himself, Garrus said, "Animals? Wind? This place is in bad shape."


A/N: Again, sorry for the delay, the trailer was so, I am at a lost for words here. I will continue though my story is no longer as accurate as I wished it to be. When the game is released expected longer delays for both stories, just a warning if Bioware finishes before I get to the Battle of the Citadel. I could have had Wrex come along for the queen argument but this is a bit of a better transition for characters. I will be changing the mission brief on the Normandy though so everyone has something to say. If I forgot to talk about Trossk's helmet, then he modified it so his shout was not as prominent of a feature as it normally was. Also for those who don't dwell to deep into the Star Wars-verse like me, Huk means Soulless bug in the Kaleesh language and Huks is used to describe the Yam'rii, an insectoid race that attack the Kaleesh and is a major part of General Grevious', or Qymaen jai Sheelal, backstory.
