Hey there everybody I am so sorry for the long wait. This chapter took me forever to write. Every time I got close to finishing it I would read it and think no this sucks. So yeah I wanted to make it better which took a while.I promise that will not happen again. I should have the next update in a few weeks.
Enjoy!
Citadel Tevos office
Tevos was currently watching the human fleet exit the relay and make their way to the citadel. She was just hours away from meeting the humans and she still had no way of convincing the humans that working with the asari would the best thing for them. She originally was going to promote peace and how the turians were nothing more than thugs who shot first and didn't ask questions.
Even with the turians helping the humans she figured once they learned about how militaristic the hierarchy is, they would be appalled at the turians. That was till she read the humans first contact package and seeing how much the two races had in common. The humans thrived in war, they had a world war that killed millions and it ended with the firing of the peace ray that the left the land uninhabitable for generations to come. Then there was the massive war that they call the pacific war that ended with one side dropping atomic bombs.
'They may be more war like then the turians,' Tevos thought as she read through what was called the cold war and the other countless wars and battles that humanity had fought amongst each other.
She sighed as she leaned back in her chair knowing that she had to get ready and try to get the humans to not only to get rid of the peace ray but to give the rest of the council the designs of the peace ray along with dozens of other advanced military technologies that humanity that gave them an edge of everybody else.
Like that would happen. She was positive that she could get them to agree to the treaty of Farixen since she and the other councilors ruled that aircraft carriers wouldn't count as dreadnoughts if they didn't have spinal guns. With how big they built their dreadnoughts she doubted that they had over six of them.
But the peace rays would have to go. That was just way too much power for the humans to have. She was surprised when Sparatus voted against it thinking he would be all for disarming the humans of the most dangerous weapon ever see. But in the end, it didn't matter Certart sided with her causing the vote to go in her favor.
Then on top of everything else was magic. She never would have believed that magic existed until the ambassadors that she sent to the humans not only reported it back to her but send video of it to her as well. And if her sources were right the turians now might have magic as well. If the humans truly did give the turians magic that would unbalance the power of the galaxy. Turians and humans would rule the galaxy while everybody else was beneath them.
Certart had came to her with the information from the STG reporting that multiple turians had been spotted using magic. She had even seen footage of a turian shooting fire from his hands. From what Certart had told her Sparatus knew of it as well in fact the hierarchy was trying to keep it a secret.
In response Certart said that the Salarian Union would stand with Asari in a war against the humans and turians if they didn't share their magic with the other council races. Tevos agreed to arrangement and brought it to the matriarchs on Thessia. Of course, there were those who called for peace and that violence must not be taken. But the ones who held the real power knew what was at stake and agreed wholeheartedly to the alliance. Knowing that it wouldn't be enough Certart and Tevos both agreed to go to the batarians for aid should the time come. As much as she detested them, they had their uses.
Looking back at her monitor it showed the humans slowly getting closer to the citadel causing the matriarch to sigh as she stood up to make her self presentable knowing that nothing good was going to come out of this meeting.
Council Chambers private lobby
The salarian councilor was currently observing the humans through her omni-tool as the human ambassadors made their way to the council chambers. It usually would take someone no more than ten minutes to arrive at the council chambers from the ambassador docking station but the humans were currently beaning shown the glory and wonder of the citadel. It was a tactic to hopefully wear out the ambassadors making them more susceptible to make a mistake. It worked on the quarians, eclor, and even the turians but she doubted that it would affect the humans at all.
"Their ships truly are remarkable," Sparatus said as he stood next her in the chambers as he looked at a feed showing the human fleet. More specifically the massive human dreadnought that dwarfed every other ship.
She looked at it even though she had already memorized everything about the ship that she could get her hands on. With it being almost four kilometers in length it was the largest ship she had ever seen. But the size alone didn't hold her attention that was focused on the peace rays that could be seen on the vessel.
These humans in their limited time on the galactic scale had changed warfare drastically. Their peace rays could destroy any ship in one shot. It was even theorized that enough of them could destroy the citadel. Then there were the reports that showed if it was ever used on a planet it would render the ground uninhabitable for hundreds of years.
"They do have remarkable ships, but they are too dangerous for any race to have. Epically such a young race," Certart said earning a look from the turian.
"Even for you and the asari?" Sparatus asked knowing that he had her trapped. "Please don't insult my intelligence my spies are no where near as good as yours are but even I know that you and Tevos want their weapons and ships for your own."
"And we founded the citadel, we have the experience, we are more advanced then them, and most importantly we are not warmongers," Certart said as she looked Sparatus in the eyes.
"That's only true because you have other people fight your wars for you. You used the krogan against the rachni and then you needed my people to defeat the krogan when you couldn't control them anymore," Sparatus said with a smirk knowing he had the salarian beat.
The two councilors stared each other down until the door to the lounge opened revealing Tevos. "Well I can see that you two are getting along well," Tevos said as she stood in the doorway. "Hurry up the humans are just a few minutes away."
"Very well," Sparatus said as he followed Tevos out of the room followed closely by Certart.
'This is going to be a very interesting meeting,' Sparatus thought knowing what was already going to happen
Flash back
Sparatus was currently talking to the fleet admiral Adam Fenix via holo projectors as the two talked about further co-operation between their two races. "The Grimnior have landed on Pavelon and from what I have heard they have already been a massive help in the limited time they have been there," Sparatus said thanking the fleet admiral.
"Think nothing of it but trust me listen to the Grimnior they know what they are talking about. I know that every turian at some point must serve in the military in some form or fashion but don't force the actives into combat roles or it will cause a dangerous precedent," Adam said hoping that the turians wouldn't mistreat their actives.
"I know, I along with hundreds of primarchs have read reports from the Grimnior society and believe that forcing actives would be a bad idea. The last thing we want to be is a Unit 731," Sparatus said as he mentally shuddered as he remembered the detailed reports and photos depicting the torture unit that oversaw figuring out how magic worked no matter the cost.
"Good, but onto other matters lets talk about the Hegemony. How upset will the citadel be if humanity decides to go to war with them?"
"By yourselves the asari and the salarians will try to stop you but with us they won't do anything publicly."
"So will the Hierarchy stand with us?"
"The primarchs are making final decisions now and we should know within the next couple of days."
"What choice do you think they will pick?"
"Honestly I don't know My race has the largest military in existence, but our economy is incredibly fragile. We have been trying to strengthen it for the past few years and we were successful, but the asari are making it harder for us to. They want our economy weak to control us in some form or fashion. If they impose trade restrictions against us we would be weakened within a few months. But I can assure you that the batarians will be punished one way or another and I have a plan for it," Sparatus went on to tell Adam his plan causing the human admiral to smile.
"I think that just might work," Adam said as the two continued to talk about the details.
Flash back ends
Council chambers
Anita Goyle was glad that the ridiculous tour was finally over. Granted there were a few things that did catch her interest such as the krogan statue but for the most part it was rather boring. Don't get her wrong she thought the citadel was amazing and wonderful, but half of the stuff was mundane and what she did like they speed through before she could admire it or ask any questions.
'Well at least I'm finally here after close to three hours of our welcome tour," she thought as she followed their asari guard. Her right was fleet lord Adam Fenix he would be representing the military of the system alliance. On her left was Richard Hodges a elder of the Grimnior Society. He was here to explain magic to the council and to answer any questions that they had about it. Accompanying them also were eight N7's to provide security.
As she entered the council chambers, she couldn't help but notice that the chambers were a bit crowded. "This is a lot of people," she said out loud as she spied what looked like news reporters with flying cameras.
"It's not always like this. Usually the council session only involves the council and the affected members with everyone else waiting outside. But with a new race the council allows the other ambassadors, the press, political figures, military leaders, and such attend the meeting," the asari escort said as motioned for them to stand in front of her to face the councilors.
"Greeting and welcome to the citadel council. I am Tevos and I represent the Asari Republic."
"Greetings I am Certart and I will be representing the Salarian Union."
"It is a pleasure to meet you all. I am Sparatus councilor for the Hierarchy."
"Thank you all for inviting us here. I am Anita Goyle and I the ambassador for the Human System Alliance. To my right is Fleet admiral Adam Fenix who can answer any military questions that you have within reason. On my left if Richard Hodges an elder in the Grimnior Society and he is here to answer any questions that you have about magic."
"Why thank you all for coming and I as well as the rest of the council is glad that you brought someone to talk about magic because we have many questions about it," Tevos said as she looked at the elder.
"I will try my best councilor but there are still some secrets that even we do not yet know," Richard said with a smile.
"Before we get into any of that I must apologize for the uncalled for attack on your world. As you have found out the galaxy is a dangerous place and if you're not ready for it can be devastating. That is why we formed the citadel so that we can defend our selves from the threats that lurk in the dark reaches of space. With our co-operations we will do our best to make sure that an attack like that won't happen again," Tevos said while Sparatus was trying his hardest not to roll his eyes.
'You wouldn't care if all the humans dropped dead tomorrow as long as they left their technology behind," Sparatus thought.
"Thank you for that we have a lot to talk about," Anita said with a smile.
"Yes, we do but lets talk about your magic first. I for one would love to know more about it and I am sure that the rest of the galaxy would love to know how they might acquire magic themselves," Tevos said causing a murmur to rise through the audience.
"I will do my best to explain everything that we know about magic and any questions that you have," Richard said as he stepped forward. "We know that magic appeared on earth in 1849. There have been claims suggesting that magic appeared earlier in our world but most if not all of them are shrouded in skepticism and uncertainty."
"So, one day your race woke up and realized that you all had magic? I find that hard to believe," Tevos said.
"That is not exactly how it happened. The first people to acquire magic were for the most part adults and adolescents, but as time went on magic was only gifted when one was born."
"That seems even more unbelievable. Why would magic stop being granted to anyone one not born with it?" Certart asked.
"This is the part where magic gets a bit more complicated. We the Grimnior Society found out that a being only known as the power grants us magic."
"Are you telling us that you believe your god gives you these abilities," Tevos said in an almost mocking tone.
"No, we do not worship it. Few people do but the Grimnior Society does not worship the power. The power gives us magic so that we use the magic and grow stronger. When we die our magic goes back to the power feeding it."
"That is a bold claim. I hope that you have evidence to support your claim. Your saying that this power is using humanity to feed itself," the salarian councilor said seeming more interested in the elder's story.
"Yes, granted the power itself does not kill, harm, or even take away our magic. The power lets us live our lives causing our magical abilities to grow stronger so that when we die the power gets more magic back then what it gave to us."
"Interesting, but do you have any proof that this power exists at all? Can we visit this being? What does it look like?" Tevos asked more annoyed than intrigued.
"There is little no proof that I can show you. If you had magic, we could give you a kanji which is marking you with a spell would give you a glimpse of the power."
"A Kanji?" Certart asked.
"Different people call it different things. A Kanji is when we carve different signs of magic onto ourselves," the elder said as he pulled up his right arm sleeve showing a complex design of geometric shapes and line no bigger than a few inches. "This is a marking of healing. It heals me if I am injured in any way. I have another one of healing on my back as well as three more that increase my magic or travelling and another two that give me limited brute strength."
"Could you please explain what you mean by traveling and explain what you meant by brute strength," Sparatus said beating the other two councilors to the punch.
"Yes, I am sorry I probably should explain what all types of magic there are as well," the elder said before he explained that he was a traveler meaning that he could teleport. From there he explained each type of magic and how some people only had limited forms of magic while other such as himself had large amounts of magic and were called actives.
"Interesting so these healers can heal any injury?" Certart asked seeming particularly interested in that.
"Yes, the more powerful a healer is the more they can do. But even the weakest healer can tell you what is wrong with you and even how to get better in most cases."
"This all very interesting but still you offer no proof that this power even exists. For all we know you could be hiding the secrets of magic and horde it for yourself," Tevos said causing a few of the diplomats in the crowd to yell out.
"It is true that we do not have any physical proof of the power but the turians can back up our story," Richard said directing all attention towards Sparatus.
"As some of you may know in the past few weeks there have been a few turians who have displays magic abilities. With the help of the Grimnior Society we have found close to four thousand turians who have been confirmed to have magic," Sparatus said causing the council chambers to erupt in yelling.
"Silence or I will have the chamber cleared!" Yelled out Tevos as she tried t calm down the crowd. Ambassadors from other races were yelling out that they deserved magic as well and that the humans and turians were going to take over. While the reporters were demanding how to know how the turians got magic and why?
After a few more moments of yelling and C-Sec removing some of the more vocal and violent people from the council chambers did order regain. "Well Sparatus you and the humans have some explain to do," Tevos said while she wondered why they would reveal that bit now.
"Yes, we do which is why me and the humans thought that it would be best to tell the whole galaxy the truth rather than let rumors and lies take their place," Sparatus said as he eyed the other two councilors no doubt knowing what they planned to expose them.
"The Hierarchy started noticing magical powered individuals amongst our species shortly after the battle happened. We contacted the humans and asked if they were responsible for it in some way and then they told us about the power. As you all are, we too were skeptical about the existence of something with the ability to give people magic. "
"We also asked for proof and they told us about the Kanji or spells and about how when one is applied to a person, they not only gain more magic but that they can see the power. We had the Grimoire give Kanji to fifty turians that had not been told anything of the power. All fifty of them reported the same thing. They all reported that they were brought to a crucial point in their life that changed them. Then they saw a great sphere of multicolored light made up of geometrical shapes that radiated magic. Since then hundreds of more turians have acquired a Kanji and they all report the same thing. The Turian Hierarchy believes in the power," Sparatus said as he looked out over the crowd of people.
"That itself is incredible and would serve as proof if it is true do you have any reports of the process or any video footage that I might see," Certart asked.
"Yes, we do and after this session I will have it all uploaded to the extranet so that everybody can see."
"Your saying that you have no say over who gets magic and that anybody can get it?" Tevos asked knowing that she was backed into a corner.
"That's right. There have been plenty of times where a couple that both have magic and their child has none or the other way around," Richard said hoping that he convinced the council.
"I am willing to believe this for now, but I would like to witness a Kanji being given in person," Certart said with Tevos nodding along.
"I would like to witness it as well, but I believe that for the time being the council will accept that humanity has no choice over who receives magic and the existence of the power," Tevos said while Certart and Sparatus agreed with her. "But before we can move on we need to discus how people with magic ability's will be regulated."
"What do you mean by regulated?" Richard asked before Anita could respond.
"Well as we saw on the Shanxi people with magic are dangerous and they should be accounted for. We need to know who they are and what powers they have so that we can keep an eye on the trouble makers," Tevos said while the humans and Sparatus to a lesser expense grew tense.
"We don't do that," Anita said in a commanding voice.
"I have read through your past and I can understand your worry, but I can assure you that the identities of people with magic will be very secure and" "NO! You don't understand!" Yelled out Richard cutting off Tevos.
"I will allow interrupting me this one time since it is your first time here but if you do it again, I will have you removed from the chambers," Tevos said as she locked eyes on the elder.
"We will never allow it," Anita said "Time and time again people in power have tried to abuse actives and we highly doubt that the council will be any different than how the Germans, Russians, Japanese and a dozen other countries experiment on people with magic ,put them into camps, forced them into slavery, and forced them to fight their wars. Never again will any person be treated differently because they have magic and that includes having their name on a list. If that cannot be accepted, then we are done here."
The chambers were silent with shock at what had just been said. Not because of how magical people were treated on earth, but because they dared to not join the council.
"I know that it is a lot to ask for but for the good of the galaxy you must allow this if not in your own space but in ours to keep our people protected," Tevos said after she managed to get over the shock of what Anita said.
"The Human System Alliance has a list of mages that have committed felonies and that list is highly protected. We do understand that if a mage goes into a different region of space the rules may be different. But we will not tell you who is a mage and who is not one unless they are a government employee and they are being sent to your region of space,"
"That is a good start, but it is not good enough. We need to know if dangerous people with magic are coming into our regions of space. Surely you Sparatus must agree with us I'm sure that your government has already started making a list," Tevos said with a smile believing that turians would put every turian with magic into the military.
"Surprisingly no we do not, and we do not plan to," Sparatus said shocking the room. "After listening to the Grimnior Society and reviewing humanity's history the primarchs came to the decision that we will not force turians with magical abilities to be listed in any form or fashion. As you all know every turian must serve from the ages of fifteen to thirty. If a turian has magic they are not required to tell that they have magic and they will not be forced into any roll based off their magic."
Tevos stood there in silence as she looked back at Certart who seemed just as surprised as she was. "Well that is great that you won't force them into any rolls based on their magic but surely you must agree that there should be a list of some sort?" Certart asked hoping to he would agree with her.
"No, I as well as the primarchs believe that there will always be someone who will try to abuse and use any person with magical abilities. But the primarchs have decided that it would be best if there was a special branch of our military dedicated towards combatants with magic abilities. This will be on a voluntary basis and no turian will be forced into it," Sparatus said earning a nod from the humans while the other two councilors were surprised by this revelation.
'What is up with Sparatus he should be all for employing every turian with magic into the military,' Tevos thought as she looked back at the humans. 'What did the humans tell the turians that made them change?'
"I think that we should put away this issue for the time being and come back to it latter," Certart said as she locked eyes with Tevos.
"I agree, this meeting is meant to welcome you to the galactic community. We can go over all the details later," Tevos said hoping to appease the humans for now.
"I can agree to that for now. But I would like to talk about what you plan to do those who sent invaded one of our worlds and kill thousands of our people," Anita said.
"Once your race has joined the citadel and you have signed the Treaty of Farixen and a few other treaties we will have our fleets defend your space. Since you are a new race, we will place a few more fleets than we usually do so that you are protected from another slaver attack. This in turn will let you spend less on your military and more on your economy," Tevos said with a smile hoping that the humans would take the bait.
"And how that help us now?" Adam asked causing all the attention to be focused on him.
"We cannot place any fleets in your space until you become an official member of the citadel. Then we will place patrol fleets to guard your space so that an attack like that never happens," Tevos said with a smile hoping to be done with the matter.
"That won't be enough," Adam said surprising Tevos.
"We can place more security in your space if need be, but you will have to give something up un return," the asari councilor said hopefully.
"That's not what we mean," Anita said. "What fleet admiral Fenix means is that in retaliation of the Hegemony's attack on our world we are going to respond in kind. To truly be able to secure our borders from the Hegemony we plan to crush them. So, are you going to help us or not?"
The chambers were quite for a second before everybody started yelling. The humans were the only ones not reacting while the chambers were filled with yelling such as the batarian ambassador who was yelling that they had no proof that they were responsible for the attack.
"SILENCE!" Sparatus yelled causing the chambers to go quiet.
"Thank you Sparatus," Tevos said receiving a nod in reply. "We understand that you are hurt and that you want revenge, but the Hegemony's ambassador is right you have no proof that they were behind the attack."
"Then how do you explain the two Hegemony fleets that aided the pirate fleets?" Anita asked as she stared down Tevos.
"The Hegemony notified us of two of their fleets going rogue. We believe that the two fleets that attacked your world were the rogue fleets," the salarian councilor said causing the humans to glare at her.
"Why wasn't I told about this?" Sparatus said as he stared down his fellow councilors.
"Because you are two involved. You lost thousands of your own people to the slavers and you want revenge. You would never accept what the Hegemony's ambassador has to say no matter what he showed you," Tevos said.
"Are you serious? We all know that almost every slaver raid is conducted and or financed by the Hegemony," Sparatus said surprising the other two councilors. "As a human saying goes, we want our pound of flesh."
"Clear the chambers." Tevos said causing the C-Sec guards to start forcing all the civilians out of the chambers. The process took a few minutes due to a few people resisting security and causing a scene.
"Sparatus what are you thinking! You cannot go to war against them over this. Sure you lost a few ships and a few thousand soldiers, but that has happened before what makes this time so different?" Tevos asked once the hall was clear.
"They attacked us with Hegemony ships and soldiers. We all know that the batarians were behind this attack and thousands more like it. Its not like we are breaking any rules we will just be enforcing our rule of banning slavery."
"It is a part of our culture! You would be essentially killing off a piece of what it means to be a batarian!" The batarian ambassador yelled.
"And we once practiced slavery as well, but we stopped it once we realized how barbaric and brutal it was," Anita said causing the batarian ambassador to glare at her.
"This is not up for discussion!" Tevos yelled as her body glowed a bit due to her biotic powers. "If you dare go to war against the Hegemony you will be going to war with the rest of the council."
"My people are set on helping the humans in this war. How do you plan to stop us? Even if you combine every other fleet in the citadel you won't be able to stop us," Sparatus said.
"Are you really willing to jeopardize the citadel council for these humans," Tevos demanded as she faced the turian.
Anita and the rest of the humans just stood there watching Tevos and Sparatus argue while Certart spoke up every now and then in defense of Tevos. "I didn't know this would happen," Adam whispered to Anita agreed with him.
"I think that we should take a recess for the time being," Certart said speaking up.
"Agreed I fear nothing will happen if we let our tempers control us. How about we meet back here in two hours. That should give us plenty of time to collect our thought and get some lunch. Please follow the escorts they will take you to get something to eat and don't worry about the cost its on us," Tevos said with a forced smile before she walked off towards her private office.
"If you would follow me, I will take you to get something to eat," an asari asked with a pleasant smile before she turned around with the humans following close behind her.
2 hours later
Anita was quite pleased with the lunch she just wished they could say the same about the negotiations with the council. 'I hope that Sparatus is able to do his part,' she thought as she led into the council chambers once agin.
"Greeting I hope that you are refreshed and are ready to continue our negotiations," Tevos said seeming more relaxed then before.
"Yes, we are why don't we pick up where we left off," Anita said causing the ambassador councilor to smile a bit more.
"Of course, we need to take care of that problem right away," she said. "We have talked this over for the past couple hours and we have reached an agreement."
"The attack on your work was indeed a travesty and we are truly sorry for your loss. But we cannot let you just go and declare war on the Hegemony for a single slave raid that we cannot exactly pin on them," Certart said.
"But that does not mean that they will not be punished. For losing two who fleets that caused helped in the invasion of your world the Hegemony has now lost any and all colonization rights to the Skyllian Verge," Sparatus said with smile.
"Humanity will be given the Skyllian Verge instead for compensation. I know that this does not make up for all of the lives lost, but it will help your people grow and that I believe is more important than revenge," Tevos said with a sympathetic smile.
"Thank you, councilors that is very generous of you, but I will first have to bring that to my superior, but I believe that might be acceptable," Anita said with a large smile.
What about the Hegemony I doubt that they are going to be happy about this?" Adam asked.
"No, they did not. In response they have decided to leave the citadel," Tevos said with a hint of disappointment in her voice.
"They were also warned that since they are not a member of the citadel anymore we will not aid them ever agin until they have banned slavery in their space," Sparatus said.
"I see," Anita said with a smile knowing that everything was going exactly how they had planned it. "That is probably for the best if we are to become allies. I doubt anybody in the system alliance will be torn up about this."
"That is great news. Let us finish our negotiations," Tevos said with smile as the negotiations steered more towards trade, borders, going over old laws, and visiting rights of civilians.
On a faraway planet in asari space.
"Humanity huh? They sound delicious especially the part about magic," a lone asari said as she read over information about humans and their magical abilities on her omni tool while she also watched a screen displaying the negotiations between the council and the humans.
"I think I am going to try them all, what do you think?" She said towards a corpse who had recently died due to her hunger. "Well you were fun while you lasted but I think I might have found a race that will sate my hunger," the asari said as she walked over the corpse and made her way towards her ship.
On the citadel lower wards
'I need to talk to the humans but how,' Wrex thought before he took another shot ryncol. 'would it be so bad for me to walk up and talk to them?' He thought before he got rid of the idea knowing that C-Sec wouldn't let him anywhere near the humans.
"Hey there big guy something on your mind?" an asari said as she sat down next to Wrex distracting him from his train of thought.
"Not interested, leave if you know what's good for you," Wrex said without sparing her a second glance.
"If that's what you want but my friends and I want a word with you about that little dream you had," She said before she walked off.
"Wait what!" Wrex called out only to see her about to exit the bar. Wrex jumped up from his seat and ran after her hoping to catch up to her. Once he was outside the bar, he saw her waiting for him next to the bar.
"Who are you?" Wrex said as he approached her.
"You can call me Maddison now follow me it's a bit far," she said as she turned around and began walking with the krogan right behind her.
"Maddison that's not an asari name," Wrex said causing her to laugh.
"Your right it's not."
"Are you going to tell me your name?"
"Just wait till we get there, and all your questions will be answered."
"And where exactly is there? You don't live as long as I have by following a lone asari into what could be a trap."
"Your right which is why the power picked you," Maddison said as she looked over her shoulder to see Wrex freeze up for a bit.
"How do you know?"
"The power told some of our elders who want to meet you and help you out."
"Why so that they can use me as their weapon?"
"Were almost there you will receive answers to your questions once we reach our destination." Maddison said letting Wrex know that she wouldn't be answering any more question.
After a few more minutes of walking the two companions reached a small docking bay that had been closed for maintenance. As they approached the entry to the docking bay, they were stopped by a couple of turians and a few batarians who were guarding the entrance.
"I'm back with my friend. This should only take a couple more hours at the most," Maddison said causing the guards to make way for the two.
"Just hurry it up Aria will notice if the dock is down for too much longer," a turian said as he opened up the door for them.
Wrex followed Maddison closely as they entered the docking bay to not only find it completely functional, but there was a frigate inside it as well.
"I have never seen a ship like this," Wrex said as noticed the ship was about two hundred and fifty meters long and shaped in a rather wide arrow head.
"That's cause its human," Maddison said causing the krogan to look at her as her appearance changed. Her skin turned white, red hair sprung from scalp, and she even gained another two inches in height.
"Your human and you have magic," Wrex said not sure if this was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Yes, she is Wrex of clan Urdnot and so am I," a old human said as he approach the krogan with an outreached hand. "I am Dedrick Koenig and I am here to tell you about your magic and what it is the power wants with you."
"You know what type of magic I have," Wrex said a bit shocked still not believing that magic existed.
"Yes, I do and I'm surprised that you don't. The power all but told you what your magic is."
"All I was told was that I needed to go home to heal my people and get them ready for a war," Wrex said not understand what that meant besides going back to home and taking his place as leader of clan Urdnot and uniting the krogan under him.
"Yes, the power did tell you that, but he meant it literally. You will heal your people and you will cure them of the genophage for the power made you a healer," Dedrick said stunning the krogan into silence as he looked at his hands.
