Chapter 7: Lair of The Shadow Broker

So, these next couple of chapters will just be my version of the DLC. The best DLC ever. Dialogue is close enough, but not be exact, so I won't get sued for plagiarism. Bioware has absolute dominion, etc. Enjoy, and eat lots of delicious cake. :D

"We will be in orbit of Hagalaz momentarily, Commander."

Shepard thanked EDI, and finished repairing her armor. She signaled Garrus to follow her to the shuttle, where Liara was already waiting, no doubt eager to begin.

"Hagalaz: the oceans boil during the day, then snap freeze ten minutes after sundown."

"The Shadow Broker lives here?"

"His ship follows the sunset, it's almost impossible to find in the storm, unless you know what to look for. It's completely locked down; we'll have to land on the exterior and look for a hatch. But we can't stay outside for long, there's a constant lightning storm where the hot and cold air combine."

Shepard nodded, and the shuttle began its descent to the ship.

Once they had landed, finding the hatch was, well, not easy, but easier than defeating Saren, Sovereign, and the geth. They were attacked by matinence drones, and the Shadow Broker's private army of mercs, who apparently had a weakness for overloaded lightning capacitors. Once they had reached the hatch, Liara began to hack the door mechanism, and more mercs began attacking,

"Well, if we defeat all of these, perhaps there will be less inside to fight."

"Yeah," Shepard muttered, "Keep dreaming T'Soni, it's never that easy."

After blowing up more lightning capacitors, (that was really getting to be fun!) the door finally opened, and they began their infiltration of the Shadow Broker's lair.

It was a very large ship, with lots and lots more mercenaries to hinder their approach.

"I told you." Shepard smirked, and sent a shockwave into somebody's head.

"Come on, we're nearing the prison block… and Feron."

They fought through even more mercs, (what was there, like, a merc factory on this damn ship?) and found the prisoner cells, where Feron had been strapped to an insidious looking chair.

"Feron! Hold on, we're getting you out of there!" Liara shouted, running up to the control panel and trying to free her friend.

"Liara? Wha- how did you get in here? No wait, don't!"

Liara triggered an electric pulse that shocked Feron, and he reeled in pain.

"You have to shut down the power supply, pull me out now and my brain cooks."

"How do we shut down the power?"

"It won't be easy, you'll have to go to central operations, down the hall. Oh, and you know the Shadow Broker is waiting for you, right?"

"I'm counting on it. Feron, I hate to bother you in your current state, but is there anything you can tell us about the Broker? Like, what is he?"

"I'm not sure, but he's big. Bigger than a krogan. Not everyone who goes into his office comes out again."

"Okay, we'll be back for you, Feron. Just stay put."

Feron smiled ironically. "I'll try not to go anywhere."

Shepard and her squad began their final approach to the Shadow Broker's quarters…

To be concluded…
