Death of Benezia
Alex and the other had returned to the med-bay to inject the cure to the patients and Alex told the doctor what happened in his lab and about the Asari that had attack her and her team. The doctor was getting unease about the guards that was looking at him and the commander. Ashley was looking at the guards which they walked away from the room.
"Okay, that was weird." Ashley said.
The doctor started to explaining why that some of the guards were was acting unease since they arrive. Then Alex's Omni-Tool started to beep because she knew that it was from her sister. She started to leave the Doctor's side because she need to know what information did her sister's team had recover from the volus.
"What you got?" Alex said.
"Well, bad news. The volus named Han told us that those creatures that we were fighting are called Rachani. And they had been experiment on the Queen and the volus mention that he was working in the hotlabs with benezia and he left her to die with Rachani. And that is not half of the stor- WREX, what the hell are you doing? Put the volus down." Max said.
She ended her Omni tool and Alex looked at her wrist for second which she turned her attention to others. Kaidan was little bit shaken about the transmission and he was looking at Alex for some suggestion. Liara was looking at the patient's vital signs and she knew that they were going to make it. They started to head back to the other team and when they arrive, they saw Wrex being held back by both Tali and Max. Alex looked was looking at them and she looked at a volus who was hiding.
"What's going on here?" Alex asked.
"Asked that Pijack over there." Wrex said.
Max and Tali was pushing him back the best way that they could while Ashley and Garrus helped them. Alex walked over to the cowardly volus and she crouch down to the creature. She was looking at the volus which she looked at her team that was trying to keep an angry Korgan away. She just sigh because of Wrex and she knew that she doesn't have time for him to go on a rampage.
"What did you tell my sister?" Alex asked.
Then the volus started to explained on what had happened on the station and he knew told her about the queen of the Rachni have been held capture in the room and he show her the secret tunnel which she looked at the tunnel for a moment. Wrex was getting ready to ripped Han's head off with his bare hands, but he was being held back by his comrades. They knew that this was not the time for them to go crazy on people if they mention the rachni to him. Alex whistle to get their attention which they looked at her and they watch as she went into the tunnel that leave somewhere else. Max let go of Wrex and she went after her sister. The rest of them started to follow after them and Wrex just grunt because he knew that the mission comes first. They all started to travel down the tunnels and they some three rachni. They started to open fire upon them and they continue through the tunnels. When they arrive to the end of the tunnel, they saw there was two entrances for them to take.
"Which way?" Max asked.
"Left." Alex answered.
"Why not right." Max said.
"The doctor to me that the station had a protocol that is call "Dogma" and I want to avoid killing innocents people that have been keeping the station safe." Alex said.
Max knew that she trust her sister's info and they started to walked through the door and they all saw a huge Rachni in a test tube container. Max was shaking in fear because at how huge that the Rachni is. Both Ashley and Liara saw an asari that was standing at the container. The asari turned around to see that she had guest to entertain and she was walked over to the rail and she was looking down at the twin sisters. Liara was looking at her with concern in her eyes and Alex place her hand on her shoulder.
"Greetings, Commander Shepard."
"You're matriarch benezia, right?" Max asked.
"Yes, but you are too late. Saren had already left with the information that was extracted from the queen. There is nothing left for you except for death." Benezia said.
Max started to shake when she heard that giant spider is the queen of the rachni. Benezia was looking at Max for a moment and she knew that there was going to be a fight. Max was about to reach for her rifle, but Alex place her hand on Max shoulder to get her to hold her position like the others.
"I can't believe that you would kill your own daughter." Alex said.
"Why mother? What does Saren promise for you to betray our race?" Liara asked.
"You don't understand nothing. I will watch as Saren take the galaxy by storm when the Reapers returns." Benezia said.
Then Max and the others drew their weapons and pointed them at Benezia and Alex was looked at the Asari before her. They didn't know that she wasn't alone because she had the geth ready to make their move. Max was looking at her Omni Tool and she noticed that there was lot of somethings that was coming towards them and fast.
"Uhhhh sis. We're about to have company." Max said.
"Have you ever face an asari commando, Commander? Few people tried. " Beneiza said.
Then the doors open and out came some geth and couple of Asari commandos. They started to open fire upon Alex and her team, but both Kaiden and Max threw up a barrier to protect everyone. Alex and the others pulled their weapons to return fire at the enemy. Max was looking around to see there an opening for them to killed them. Alex shot a couple in the head and she was use her biotics that pushed the commandos on the ground and Ashley, Wrex, Garrus, Tali shoot some of Commando and the geth. Liara, Kaidan, and Max was holding up the barrier for a little while until they lost power. Then Alex and the other started to take out the rest of the Commandos. Then more of them started to coming into the rool but Beneiza was getting a bit tired for use her biotics on her commandos and geth. Max took out some of the geth with her biotics while she held the barrier up and Alex use a biotic warp on one of the commandos while Ashley use a grenade to take both a geth and a commando. Wrex use his shotgun to blow the geth's head off, Tali use her Omni-tool to hack into the geth's system which it started to shoot down all its comrades. Once that was done, the geth was shut down.
Then suddenly, Beneiza use her biotics to put them all in stasis as more Commandos squad and more geth started to enter the room. She started to feel a little tired because she use too much power in her biotics or that her biotics was starting to over load. Max started to lose her concentration because she was using too much of her biotics and Kaidan started to pick up her slack. Max knew that her biotic need to recharge so she join the fight by pulling out her assault rifle. Alex nodded her head and she started to throw up a barrier of her own so that Max's biotics could recharge. Ashley was helping Max with a covering fire while Wrex use his biotics to charge at the Asari Commandos and he took some geth as well. Alex knew that this fight was going to drag out which she knew that some of her team was running out clips which means more Commandos and Geth to overrun them.
"Liara, Kaidan, Max, we need to combine our attack to end this fight. Does anyone of you had learn shockwave?" Alex said.
"I know a little of it during biotic training class." Max said.
"I know a few things about biotic shockwave." Kaidan said.
"I am a little new to the idea of using a biotic shockwave." Liara said.
"Alright, Let combine all of biotics into one massive shockwave." Alex said.
They started to bring their hands into a circle, and start to conjure up some biotic aura. Ashley, Wrex, Tali, and Garrus was holding off the geth and the Asari commandos the best way that they could to buy them some time. More of the troops started to move in while Kaidan, Max, Liara, and Alex was add a little more power to their combine attack. Tali threw a grenade to blow some of the Geth away, Wrex use his biotic to charge at some of the commandos and he headbutted them. Garrus use his sniper to shoot a couple of Commandos in the head and Ashley use her assault rifle to shoot down more incoming geth. Both Max and Liara was getting tired from using too much energy from their biotics. It was now or never because both Max and Liara was about to collapse.
"NOW!" Alex yelled.
They a massive wave which shut down all the geth and knocking the commandos into a wall to snapped their necks. Benezia was looking around to see that her forces was killed and she was panting because she used too much of her abilities. She was getting weaker by the minute. Max and Liara was on their knees because they were waiting for their biotics to recharge. They both were panting while Garrus and Ashley help them up to their feet. Alex walked up to a near death Benezia because was resting against the tank that had the giant rachni. She looked up at Alex, but her vision was lost because she could only see shadows. Everyone had their weapons pointed at her and they were ready to shoot if she move a finger.
"It's over, benezia." Alex said.
Benezia started to come to her senses and she stood up but she was shaking for a little bit. She was looking at the shadow in front of her. She place her hand on her head for a moment because she was fighting against something that was controlling her. She got up to stand and looked at them.
"You must listen. Saren still control whispers in my mind. I can fight his compulsions. Briefly, but the indoctrination is strong." Benezia said.
"So, you could turn on us again." Alex stated.
"Yes. But it would not be my will, Shepard. People are not themselves around Saren. You come to idolize him. Worship him. You would do anything for him. The key is Soveregin, his flagship. It is a dreadnought of incredible size and its power is extraordinary." Benezia told her.
"I'm guessing that Soveregin is not like other ships. Where did it come from?" Alex said.
"I cannot say. The geth didn't build it. It's technology is far more advance than any other species. The longer you stay aboard, the more Saren's will seems correct. You sit at his feet and smile as his words pour into you. It is subtle at first. I thought I was strong enough to resist. Instead, I became a willing tool, eager to serve. He sent me here to find the location of the Mu Relay. Its position was lost thousands of years ago." Benezia told her.
Max was looking at Benezia with a confuse look on her face. She stepped forwards while the Benezia heard her footsteps and turned her head towards Max's shadow.
"Wait a minute! How does something that big just went messing?" Max asked.
"Four thousands years ago, a star nearby went supernova. The shock wave propelling the relay out of its system, but did not damage it. It's precise vector and speed are impossible to determine. As millennia passed, the nebula created by the nova enveloped the relay. It is difficult to find any cold object in interstellar of space. Particularly something swathed in hot dust and radiation." Benezia explained.
"Can I assumed that you found the coordinates?" Alex asked.
Now, Benezia turned her attention to Alex once again.
"Two thousand years ago, the rachni inhabited that region of our galaxy. They discovered the relay. The rachni can share memories across generations. Queens inherit the knowledge of their mothers. I took the location of the relay from the queen's mind. I was not gentle." Benezia said.
Benezia was looking at the container that had the new queen of the rachni. Alex started to feel bad for Benezia and knew that there was still time for her to make amends for her wrong dealings. Max was looking at her for a moment which she knew it as well.
"You can still make it right. Give me the information." Alex said.
Benezia looked at the ground because she was still kicking herself because of her evil deeds.
"I was not myself. but-I should have been stronger." Benezia said.
Then she started walking towards Alex with something in her hand.
"I transcribed the data to an OSD. Take it, please." Benezia pleaded.
Alex took the OSD from Benezia and placed it in her pocket. Liara just smiled at her mother because she knew that her mother would come around. She was relief that her mother had given up the drive to Alex and watched as Benezia return to her spot in front of them.
"Knowing the relay's coordinates is not enough. Do you know where he planned to go from there?" Liara asked.
"Saren wouldn't tell me his destination. But you must find out quickly. I have already transmitted the coordinates to him before you arrive." Benezia said.
She started to feel the indoctrination coming back to her and starts to struggle against it. Max was starting to get the feeling that this might not end well for all of them even for Benezia. She ready her rifle and took aim at Benezia. Liara had tears in her eyes because she was starting to lose her mother to the indoctrination.
"You must stop- me I can't- His teeth are at my ear. Fingers on my spine. You should- Uh, you should-" Benezia struggled.
"Mother, I- Don't leave! Fight him!" Liara said.
Benezia turned to her daughter one last time before the indoctrination took over completely.
"You've always made me proud, Liara." Benezia said.
A tear went down her face because she was not going to see her daughter ever again. Then the indoctrination took over her mind and liara was looking at her mother as the enemy once again. Max shove her to the ground and tried to subdue her, but Benezia use her biotics to sent her across the room. She floated over to Max and grabbed her by the throat. She slammed her to the ground which Kaidan use a biotic warp to blast her which she let go of Max. Both Kaidan and Wrex started to rush with their biotics but Benezia use her biotics to slammed them both into each other and threw to the next room. Ashley and Tail started shooting at Benezia but Benezia put them both into biotic stasis. Garrus ran over to Max to help her up and aimed his sniper rifle at Benezia if she came after them again.
Benezia use a biotic warp to knocked the rifle out of Garrus's hand and pushed him down the stairs which the blast knocked Max to the rile. It was Liara and Alex left standing. Benezia was heading towards Max once again, but Alex use her biotic barrier to protect her sister. Max open her eyes to see Benezia was trying to Force her way into the barrier. Liara used her biotics to knocked her mother away from Max while Alex ran over to Max to check her injuries.
"You alright?" Alex asked.
"I'm fine. Go save Liara." Max said.
Alex nodded her head and ran towards the two Asaris fighting. Benezia was punching Liara which add in a some biotic force behind her attack. Then Liara pushed her off of her with her own biotic force. Alex was aiming her pistol at the two asari and she was trying to angle it to where she won't accidentally shoot Liara. When she lined up her shot, she fire at benezia's back which Benezia turned to Alex. She use a biotic charge at Alex and started to strangle her to death. Alex was trying to find her but Benezia is too strong. Liara had her pistol ready and shoot benezia several times. Benezia let go of Alex's throat and fell to the ground. Max and the others were arrive to the scene but Max was being supported by Ashley. Benezia looked up at Alex, who was being held by Liara.
"I cannot go on. You must stop him, Shepard." Benezia said.
Alex activate her Omni-tool.
"Hold on. We've got med-gel, maybe we can-"
Benezia raise her hand to stop her.
"No. He is still in my mind. I am not entirely myself. I never will be again.
She collapse to a nearby wall. Liara was looking at her with tears in her eyes because her mother had been indoctrinated for too long.
"Mother..." Liara said.
"Goodnight, little wing. I will see you again with the dawn." Benezia said.
With last words, she went in peace while Liara collapse to her knees and cried. Max just looked at her because she knew the feeling of losing a parent. Alex walked over to her and hold her until she was done crying. Max and the others gave them some alone time. Tali was checking the geth memory banks to see if they could find the location of Saren's flagship. Garrus was looking for another sniper rile because that fight with Benezia broke his gun. He manage to find some sniper rifles among some of the Asari Commando's corpses. Kadian and wrex was helping tali with cleaning up the geth. Max was looking at the contain that huge Rachni inside and looked at the poor creature. Little did she know, there was an Asari corpse that was raising up and walked up to her. The large Rachni scared Max which she bumped into the corpse. She pointed her gun at the the corpse before her as she watch it walk up to the container.
"Uh...guys?! You all might want to come up here and see this!" Max called out.
Then the team stopped what they were doing and head over to Max's location. She was shaking in fear at the sight of the corpse move. They all looked at the container to see that the Rachni was the one that was controlling it. She was looking at the through the glass.
"This one. Serves as our voice. We cannot sing. Not in these low spaces. Your music are colorless." Rachni Queen said.
Max pushed Alex in front of them to see who that the creature was talking to. Alex looking at the creature which she was confuse on the statement. She was looking at her team to see that they did not know what it means.
"Music? What?" Alex asked.
"Your way of communicating is strange. Flat. It does not color the air. When we speak, one move all." Rachni queen said.
"This too amazing. This is one for the history books." Kaiden admired.
"I can see that she is able to do that." Tali agreed.
The looked at the two of them and blink.
"We are the mother. We sing for those left behind. The children you thought silenced. We are Rachni." Rachni Queen told them.
"This thing is too dangerous to talk. I say we kill it." Wex said.
"I agree with Wex. We don't know that she can be trusted. And plus she is the queen of the Rachni." Garrus added.
"Not to mention, they are the ones that killed the scientists." Ashley mentioned.
Alex looked at the Rachni Queen because she could tell that part was correct her followers were attacking the science team and them when they arrive to the station. Max just looked at the creature and she could tell something was off about her. Alex looked at her sister to see that something was wrong with her.
"Did you order your people to kill the science team?" Alex asked.
"No. We were locked away here. The children are beyond our songs. They have been lost to silence. You are not in harmony with those who hoped to control us. What will you sing? Will you release us? Or are we to fade away once more?" Rachni queen said.
Max was looking at the both of them which she listen to her story that she was experimented on. In her mind, she knew that the Rachni are dangerous to the galaxy, but in her heart, she knew that the Rachni queen wants to live in peace with her children away from the galaxy. Alex was thinking about what to do with the Rachni queen.
"Commander, I don't trust this thing. We know its kind are killers. The tank is rigged with acid. I recommend using it." Ashley said.
"For once, I agree little Mrs. pijack here. I don't want another rachni wars to unleashed again." Wrex agreed.
"Same for me." Garrus added.
"No way. She just wanted to live in peace." Kaiden told them.
"Yes, she is different from the ones in the history." Tali said.
"They made a mistake. They let the Krogan go too far. This is a chance for us to atone. She has done nothing to us." Liara stated.
"Your companions hear the truth. You have the power to free us, or return our people to the silence of memory." Rachni Queen said.
"If I let you live, would you attack other races again?" Alex asked.
"No. We- I do not know what happened in the war. We only heard discordance, songs the color of oily shadows. We would seek a hidden place to teach our children harmony. If they understand, perhaps we would return." Rachni queen told her.
"So, are you a survivor from the war? A clone?" Alex asked.
"We do not know. We were only an egg, hearing Mother cry in our dreams. A tone from space hushed one voice after another. It forced the singers to resonate with its own sour yellow note. Then we awoke, in this place. The last echo of those who came out from the Singing Planet. The sky is silent." Rachni Queen explained.
The Queen heard everything that everyone but she watched as they all argue on how she should live or die. She turned her attention to Max and noticed that Max haven't say a word. Max was looking at the tank to see that Queen was giving her a sad look. Alex was looking at her as well which she knew that she would like to hear Max choice before making a decision. Then she thought to herself that Max should be the one to give the final word.
"Max, what do you think I should do with the Queen?" Alex asked.
"Well, part of me wants to end her right now, but after hearing her story about what are science did to her and her children, I am started to have second thoughts about this. I think that Rachni have been out of the galaxy for too long. I think that she should go free where she can live in harmony with her children." Max told her.
Alex smiled at her sister's statement. The Queen was looking at her which she as moving her antennae as a sign happiness. She was going to be save. Liara, Kaidan, and Tali nodded their heads in agreement with Max. Ashley just sigh because she wasn't going to go against the Commander's orders. She knew that Max was starting to have a change of heart. Both Wrex and Garrus was still against the idea of letting the most dangerous leader of race that haven't been seen over a hundred of years.
"Well, if you two are going to free that thing, then the death toll will be on both of your heads." Garrus told them.
"My thoughts exactly." Wrex said.
"Well, there you have it. I won't destroy your entire race. You'll go free." Alex said.
"You will give us the chance to compose anew? We will remember. We will sing of your forgiveness to our children." Rachni Queen said.
Then Alex walked over to the controls and put in the release code for the Queen. She was looking at Max who was smiling at her. She was afraid of them and now she have some compassion for their struggle live in the galaxy. The corpse collapse to the floor as the Queen let go of her link to the body. She was now free which it set off the alarm and they looked at each other because they could heard some of the creatures that was following the Queen to freedom. Now that it was time for them to head to the hot labs to set off the purge to destroy the ones that are not in the queen's control. They all made it back to the room that they have arrive in the trams. They take the door to the hot labs and they all enter the elevator to lead down to the the hot labs. Alex was looking at Max with a smile on her face which Max just looked at her.
"What?" Max asked.
"Oh nothing. I just thought that you say that you hate those things and now you have a heart to free their queen." Alex said.
"Yeah, well no one need to be torture." Max said.
She was blushing and she knew that deep down that it was the right choice to make. Once the elevator arrive to the level of the hot labs, they make their way to the room. They saw a man that was sitting on a crate which he looked like he was wounded. Alex signal her team to secure the room and they all nodded their heads. They ready their weapons just in case if rachni show up. They looked around the room while Alex approach the man named Yaroslev.
"Are you here to secure the situation?" Yaroslev asked.
"How are you holding up?" Alex asked.
"You must listen to me. If we do not contain our mistake, they will drop bombs from the battle stations. You understand?" Yaroslev told her.
Alex grabbed the man by the collar of his shirt.
"You're the one that let them out?" Alex asked.
Yaroslev lower his gaze from hers because he knew that he had to come clean.
"Ehh. I am only following orders. Binary Helix found an egg. It was on a derelict ship, thousand of years drifting. This was rachni's ship. Inside they find many eggs in cryogenic suspension." Yarkoslev said.
"And you happened to hatch that thousand year old egg." Max stated.
"Yes. A very tough, to be so long frozen. That its survived the centuries- this is miraculous." Yarkoslev said.
"Who's gives a damn. Just hurry up and get to the point before the rachni gets here." Alex told him.
"Right. Binary Helix plan to clone rachni. Mass-produce them. Create an army. But when they get here, they find this egg is not a common rachni. It was the queen. After she lay eggs, they move her to Rift Station. They were thinking that without her, they can raise the babies to be obedient.
"Separating their mother didn't work." Alex stated.
"Ehh. This was exactly the wrong way to do. I am thinking that without a queen, rachni do not develop properly Her mind is shaping theirs. These rachni are uncontrollable. Which these Rachni are beyond saying without the queen. It is a sad thing, but they must be euthanized. I am thinking that the neutron purge must be set off." Yarkoslev told her.
Alex looked at her teams to see if they knew about a neutron purge which they all shrugged their shoulders.
"What the neutron purge system?" Alex asked.
"It creates burst of neutron radiation. Kills everything in the station. Things beyond get genetic damage of varying degree." Yarkoslev explained.
"Okay how to we set off the neutron purge?" Alex asked.
"Arming controls are nearby. All you have to do is insert the key. Then I will give Mira destruct co-"
Suddenly, Yarkoslev was ram through by a claw. Then Max and the others were alerted that a rachni had gotten passed without them knowing. The creature the lifeless body across the room. They all have ready their weapon and unleash a barrage of fire upon it. Once that was done, Alex ran over to the body. She looked at it for a moment and saw a piece of paper that was in Yarkoslev's pocket. It was destruct codes for the neutron purge. They headed for the room and activate a Mira terminal. Then the Ai had appeared in the room with them.
"Connecting.I have full access to the facility, and am at your disposal." Mira said.
"Activate the Neutron Purge." Alex ordered.
Mira looked at her for a moment.
"I'm sorry, but I can't do that without proper code authorization" Mira told her.
"Code input: 875 020 079. Code Omega local execution." Alex said.
"Verified. Code Omega execution in 120 seconds." Mira said.
Max started to hear a sound coming from outside which she knew that it was not good. Everyone started to ready their weapons and pointed them at the door. Once the door open up, they open fire upon the rachni that was coming through the windows. They cut off from the elevator to by a horde of Rachni. Max use a grenade at blow them a path. Tali was the first to leave the room while the others cover her escape. She made to the elevator. Ashley was next, she bolted at top speed Tali was cover her as well. Then it was Garrus, Kaidan, and Liara. Wrex just charge his way to the elevator which leaves Max and Alex to make it to the elevator before the time hit zero.
"There's too many of them for one of us to make it." Max said.
"Then we have no choice but to go together." Alex said.
Max nodded her head and they both hold hands. They took in a deep breath and charge like their life depended on it. The rest of the team started to shoot at the Rachni to prevent them from grabbed their commander and her sister. Alex was making sure that she didn't let go of her sister's hand. Once they got close to the elevator, Rachni shot a web at Max's foot which cause Alex to let go of her. Max fell to the ground and she screamed because she was being pulled to be feast upon. Alex grabbed both of her hands and pulled. Liara was help her and so was Ashley and Kaidan. Wrex, Tali, and Garrus was trying some of them at bay which Wrex shoot at he web and freed Max. Alex hit the button to the top floor. Once the doors were close, the elevator back up to the main at top speed. Then there was a explosion down the hot labs and all the rachni was killed from the neutron purge. Max was panting hard because she had almost lost her life.
"See, I will always be there for you when you need me, Max." Alex told her.
Then she hugged as tight as she could and she tears leaking from her eyes. She was glad that Alex save her in the end. Alex sigh with relief that she didn't have to lose another family member for this mission. Once the elevator made it to the main floor, they all started to use her trams to head back to the station to explained everything that had happen over her. Alex knew that this was the story for the history books. When they made it back to the Normandy, the team have a meeting in the debriefing room. Everyone but Alex took their seats so they could discuss their next plans.
"What's our next move, Commander? Head for the Mu Relay?" Ashley asked.
"The Mu Relay could link to dozens of systems. Unless we know exactly where Saren's going, we'd be just wasting our time." Alex said.
"The Commander is right. We cannot rush off blind. We still need to learn more about Saren." Liara mentioned.
"Who put you in charge? Did the commander resign when I wasn't looking?" Ashley asked.
"Hey, easy there, Ash. We're all on the same here. She's trying to help." Max reassured.
"Right. Sorry LC. Sorry Liara." Ashley said.
"It's quite alright." Liara said.
"This is a tough mission. We're all on edge. Everyone go get some rest. Crew... dismissed!" Alex ordered.
They all started to get up head to their station to get relax their minds from the last mission. Max went to the bunks to get some sleep while Ashley get some some r and r with weapon cleaning. Wrex just do whatever he feels like. Garrus just check his sniper rifle. Tali went down to the engine room. Liara just to the medbay because she mourning over the lost of her mother. Kaidan went to the cockpit to help Joker.
"Noveria report is away, Commander. You want me to patch you through to the Council?" Joker asked.
"Patch them through, Joker." Alex said.
"Setting up the link now, Commander." Joker said.
Then the hologram of the Council of races appeared in front of her.
"Is this report accurate, Commander. You found Rachni on Noveria?"
"And then released the queen! Do you have any idea what you've done? How many generations until they overrun the galaxy?"
"This queen is different. She understands why her kind to be wiped out last time around." Alex said.
"I hope you're right, Shepard. Our children's children will pay the price if you're not."
"We'll be waiting for your next report, Commander."
Then they ended their Transmission. Alex just sigh because she knew there was no pleasing the councils at her work. She went to get some rest for the time being because the next mission going to get even harder for her and her team this time around.
