Hey, A new chapter just for you guys i'm so sorry for the hiatus.
She leaves the lounge and Patrick to go back over to her Squad panel, Neira pulls up a chair to sit then decides to ponder over people on the ship.
Neira wanders over to her personal terminal; she presses a few buttons on her console and brings up the crew screen.
The holographic screen fills with profile pictures taken from each of her crew members Neira almost opens one of the files, but was interrupted by the sound of a video message coming through. Neira took a moment to consider then let the call through, this decision was immediately regretted.
"So, Neira I've been notified that you've got the nerve to land on my Omega." The Asari who sent for the call said in a condescending voice. Neira clutches her temples in frustration she knew it was a bad idea to accept the call.
"Yes I will be docking on Omega with the rest of my crew, and we will be trying to locate a scie-" Neira tries to explain quickly until interrupted by Aria.
"Listen, I don't care but I also cannot simply ignore this chance, your trying to locate a scientist and I know said scientists location. The problem is I don't care if you succeed. Now then onto business you want onto my station and the location and I need a few things done as well as some amusement, so let's make a deal." Aria says smugly.
Neira considers the circumstances and then realizes if she doesn't accept the rules of this deal then no matter what Aria would crush her, her crew, her mission, everything. Neira nods, as she simply asks for the rules.
Aria laughs then begins explaining, "Now then where to begin, you need information on the scientist and I will send you it after you do something for me but I need to make this fun first, you will have fourty-eight galactic standard hours to win." She pauses seemingly pressing a few buttons and in return four new profiles arrived on screen.
"Those four dossiers I just sent you are your targets I want off my Omega, either exterminate them or bring them onto your ship either way I don't care. Rule is though you may only bring six people from your squad with you. If you either fail to comply with the rules I have presented or fail at your task, you will be thrown off of Omega." Aria smiles cruely.
"Well then I have to accept your rules and I will beat you at your own game."
"Just remember, four targets gone you get your info you fail. I kill." She disconnects and Neira rubs her forhead again feeling a headache coming on, and now she had to choose six lives to risk again. She opens the dossiers that Aria sent and reads over them.

Neira reads through the dossiers carefully and then realizes why Neira wants them gone, Neira laughs and hears a rustling from behind her, probably Patrick shifting in his sleep, she thinks to herself. Aria wants them gone because they actually pose a threat to her, therefore they would make great additions to our crew.
She stands from her seat and them begins her thought process, who should she bring? Which lives should she gamble with. Neira hated the idea of it although she knew that was what she was doing, gambling that is. That's what she'd always done with her crews' lives. But it was always a matter of choosing who had the most chance of living, just Neira had never been so invested in her crew. The Asari before were always faceless on her crew and therefore held no meaning but now-
Neira pauses and looks back at the lounge again to see Patrick turn again in his sleep muttering something.
-20 Minute before Omega-
Neira stood in the lounge as she watched her crew gather, the faces that were now familiar to her filled the room as they chatted amongst on another while waiting for Neira to make the important descision. It seemed thet Xexas, Maxwell and Tom didn't show up though which was fine with Neira. Neira looked to the far left of the room where three people stood the ones who wanted nothing to do with the crew and were simply here because intrests coincided.
The first was Nadia the Salarian, while Neira had held some doubt before the Salarian had proved herself at the club when they were attacked. Her sharpshooting would be something to be reckoned with. There was also something about her, maybe in the way she moved, that this Salarian in question was once part of the STG.
The next was the Krogan who sat loading his gun, looking completely uninterested in the small talk the rest of the crew had. Drexel had been a gamble but like Nadia had proved his worth, a Krogan wa always a risk but sometimes you have to gamble.
Facing the observation port was Azariah who like the other two was completely uninterested with the crew, instead the assassin watched as Omega grew closer. There was something about the look in his one human eye that resembled pain. Neira began to grow curiou about what could make the assassin have a look like that but she did know one thing, Azariah was good at his job.
Turning her attention just a little more she saw the four from the citadel whose cases and lives had been intertwined. It had started so simply that, just helping with a case gained Neira a new crew and new amazing people.
The first was Angela who tried to keep on a smile as she mediated between the two Turians infront of her, but though she tried to mask it just underneath you could tell she was traumatized. The girl was just rescued from being kidnapped and now she is part of a spectres crew. The girl though was usefull she is a powerful biotic and therefore could be an unstoppable force if she so wished.
The two Turians came to mind next as Neira watched them bicker. Theron, the former C-sec officer who had given Neira, the mission to rescue Angela in the first place giving Neira the unique opperatunity to meet many people. The other Turian, Theris, is a Spectre who Neira had worked with before in the past he is a strong soldier and has a strong need to protect others he feels as though he needs to, though this could be seen more as a weakness.
The other Asari was next, the officer who had left her post to serve a greater good. Donna was a strong leader as proved during the last mission on the citadel where she had lead the sabatoge team to help stop re-enforcements. Though she is determined that could also be a flaw, her determination could lead her to refuse an order and that could put the squad in danger.
Shifting her gaze again she sees the five who had been on her crew for the longest almost since the beginning, she watched what the group was doing noticing as Hayden leaned on Canna for support, as Patrick made some sort of joke and the rest laughed, he looked at Aaron and made some sort of wise-crack, Aaron turns bright red as Patrick laughs again and Canna joins in. Aaron says something while looking frantic. Zitara turns and her body language seems to agree with Aaron, he start to look less frantic as well.
Aaron was a quirky person he was very uncomfortable around people, even more so around females, though it seemed as though he had made friends with those four at least. He is a great technician though and has proved that since he joined on Eden Prime, he is also a very adaptable fighter.
Hayden was a very powerful woman, she had in a way faced the same loss as Neira on Eden Prime she had lost her crew because of a mistake the same mistake that Neira had made. Through all of this though she puts on a strong face and with that becomes even stronger, working through even a fatal wound. Hell, if Neira was the alliance she would've put Hayden in a better position for spectre candidacy.
Canna, at first was just a teen that Neira, and her new crew had saved from the disaster that is Eden Prime. She seems to be a powerful biotic amd quick learner but there were to many uncertainties with her, to truly put an opinion out.
Zitara is a strong Quarian, Neira had never known many of the race but she knew most were timid and very cautious but Zitara seemed on a different level entirely. She is also a great technician which was an added bonus one of the best in Neira's eyes.
Last was Patrick, who despite former differences was a very useful member of the crew, though he is a conceited jerk most of the time, not to mention a giant flirt. His skills with not being detected were unparalleled in Neira's eyes making him an asset; personality aside.
Her mind was made Neira had chosen her squad for this mission. "Everyone let me simplify our new mission." Neira presses a button letting Tom know she wanted this announced to the entire crew.
"We have fourty-eight standard hours to find and recruit four people, then to find the scientist of which the council has notified me hld information we need." Neira pauses as a question is asked, "Why do we only have fourty-eight hours on Omega?" Azariah asks.
"Me and the current Queen of Omega aren't exactly on the best of terms." Azariah grunted in acceptance and almost approval.
"Now then the six people who will accompany me to Omega, Canna, Aaron, Hayden, Azariah, Patrick, and Angela will accompany me to Omega and this decision is final, dismissed." Neira watched as her crew filed out and into the elevator the next two days would be interesting, as Omega loomed on the horizon.
