Death Is Only Yesterday

Chapter: 9

Part.1 Omega Effect


Omega: Terminus System

Year: 1994

Samara's ship carrying the both of them on board have just docked at an airlock of Omega station. He is told, this place is completely lawless and controlled by an Asari named Aria. They walk down the corridor to the inner area of Omega.

There is a door there and two aliens are there, Samara mentioned they are bartarians and see two Asari coming towards them, figuring they are Justicars, in which the space craft is a registered Justicar craft.

"Aria wants to see the both of you," he said

"Like right now" said the other

"Oh we will see her later," said Bond in a disguised voice

"Justice must be done" said Samara "If you value your lives stand aside."

Walking pass them, one of the bartarians put his hand on Bond's shoulder, narrowing his eyes. He grabbed his hand, twists his arm and judo flips him over to the ground. Then repeatedly hitting the alien over and over.

The other one raised his weapon, but Samara uses her powers to grab hold the other ones body and throws him out the door with a hard crash.

James did the same and after that they walk into Omega. Several onlookers see two Asari walk in and stroll past the two Bartarians lying on the floor and are in no condition to fight.

According to the database, which James had studied before coming here. It is a huge mining station built from the remains of a massive, irregularly shaped asteroids with twisting streets populated with homes, shops and warehouses.

Omega's inhabitants are usually lawless. Territory is controlled by the strongest faction in that area and frequently changes hands, often after brutal violence. The station's current "de facto" ruler is Aria T'Loak of course Omega is the last letter in the Greek alphabet.


"Guess you didn't make any friends, when you arrived." Said Shepard

"It's a standard occupational habit," said Bond "From many, many,many years of experience."


Some of the inhabitants moved out of the way in fear of the two Asari justicars and they knew their reputation of getting Justice done. However Omega has no Justice system only survival of the fittest, the strong shall survive and weak shall parish.

"We know the assassin was hired here on Omega," said Bond "To carry out the job."

"Agreed," said Samara "We could always go straight to the bar and speak to Aria."

"The direct approach seldom works," said Bond "We can cover more ground if we split up, but stay in contact."

"You never lost your strategic mind over time, besides your dashing looks," said Samara

"And you've never lost your graceful beauty over time," said Bond

"Yes, my people tend to be sexy for a long time," said Samara "Good idea let's do that."

Then they nodded in agreement, for they went their separate ways and will speak to the Queen of Omega Aria, when they feel like it and perhaps give them some attention along the way.


Kima District

James read from the database that the gang known as the Eclipse is known to dwell here and he requested to chat with the boss of the Eclipse and Samara had informed him that she is will talk to a few contacts of hers on Omega.

Acting Asari like he or she crosses her legs, he sits down in a chair and there are tables, fancy ones. Then a Salarian showed up and sat across from James, he is the leader of the Eclipse and has a weapon strapped to his hip.

"What do you want, Justicar." He asked

"Your assassin friend," said Bond "Maven Solius, who hired him for the assassination job on Benzena,"

"I know of him," he said "But I don't know anything about an assassination job."

"Your lying because you know something." Said Bond

"I am not afraid of some Justicar," he said "Because the door behind me I have about 50 of my best people, all I need to do is say the word and you are dead."

"Really," said Bond "Are they fast enough to act, when they hear you scream."

"What are you talking about?" He asked

"I am talking about a bomb," said Bond "Like the one your sitting on,"

"Huh," he gasped

"Let me put it like this," said Bond "If you stand up, it will explode, if you scream it will explode...now you will tell me."

"An Asari wouldn't stoop so low and do this," he said "Your bluffing."

"Now about those 50 of your best men behind that door," said Bond "Too bad good help is so hard to find."

Pressing a button upon the Omni-tool, a loud bang is heard in the background that came from the door, blood curling screams are heard and then nothing. Shaking in fear the Salarian just glared at the Asari.

"If I tell you," he said "Will you disarm the bomb."

"All depends on what you know." Said Bond

"Okay," he said "I don't know who hired him, but I know the message came from the bar where Aria hangs out, when we were in the casino."

"Good, it wasn't so hard." Said Bond

"Now keep your word," he said

James stands up from his chair and started to walk away.

"Wait, what about the bomb," he said

"What about it," said Bond with a dark look

"Are you going to leave me like this," he said

"Your still scum in my book," said Bond "And not to be trusted, if your story checks out."

"Will you come back," he asked

"No," said Bond "Because if I did, then the last words you ever here is goodbye."

"Goodbye, no please anything but that," he said

He continued to walk away

"Anything, but goodbye" he said

James continued to walk some more

"NO MORE GOOD BYES," he yelled out loud

BOOM

An explosion was heard in the background, in which Bond stepped to the elevator.

"To coin a human phrase," said Samara over the com "Looks like the shit has hit the fan."

"Well people like him should not be trusted," said Bond "How are things on your end."

"Very interesting" said Samara


"You don't mess around with any type of scum." Said Shepard "Wish I could of thought of that when I was on Omega."

"It's knowing, who to trust and who not to trust." Said Bond "Comes from a lifetime of experience and that matter aggressive interrogation."

"So, what was Samara doing?" asked Shepard
