Anyway enjoy, merry Christmas, happy holidays Etc. have fun.
A humanoid alien with large round bits that go over the top of his head with shoulder length hair. He also had longish ears and spike like objects on his head. Sat at a desk looking out at an empty space in front of him drinking some old alcohol. Really old alcohol named Vaxsol, at the door behind him stood two humanoids both with mechanical arms and legs. Each holding an odd looking weapon and their eyes where little more then slits with a red dot. The room the man was in was decorated with ancient tech from both Prothean and older. Each one any archaeologist and engineer would love to get their hands on, this tech pre-dated the Prothean's by at least 150,000 years. Non of it worked but still you could find out a lot of information from it.
The man sitting down had visible robotic limbs both on his forearms and lower legs. One of his eyes was green due to a robotic implant and the silveriness of his chest was obviously mechanical. From his seat the door behind him opened and a human male entered wearing a scientist uniform.
"Sir the full production of all units has begun so we will have all we need against the Reapers and her. We have begun taking people from planets and will so be doing it to whole planets soon. Given the numbers on some of the planets we have on record as high population will give us the numbers we need to face and take down her." the man said
"Agreed, my brothers think that using technology too much is what made us lose the war all those years ago but they are wrong we just needed to install it into people. My brothers think that she and her project will help but will do little more then slow us down. Biology isn't the way and we will show them that. For the Reapers will fall before me." the man said with a smile on his face.
A smile crept onto his face.
OOOOO
Kira, Eve and Liana exited the lift as they reached the top. As they did threeEclipse mercs aimed their weapons at them as the Nassana looked directly at Kira with surprise.
"Shepard?... But your dead." Nassana said in surprise.
"Hell spat me out." Kira quipped.
"And now your here to kill me."
"Well you re paranoid aren't you?" Kira said as Eve and Liana aimed their own weapons at the mercs.
"Don't patronize me, Shepard." she said looking away.
"Charming as ever." Kira quipped.
"I'm sure you find this all very ironic. First you take care of my sister, now your here for me." She said glancing back for a second before turning. "Well you made it this far. Now what?"
"Why would I waste my time trying to hunt you down?" Kira asked. "Your not who I'm looking for."
"Well what do you call this? You've practically destroyed my towers!" she said turning to look out the window.
"I wasn't looking for you."
Nassana just turned to look at her. "What the hell are you talking about? Is it credits? Is that what you want? Just tell me your price. We can make this problem go away."
Kira gave this a quick thought, Thane wasn't here yet. Buying some time now for him was the best idea.
"Make me an offer." Kira said with a smirk.
"Double whatever your getting. And I'll pay double again if you tell me who hired you." she said that there was a band that made the Asari merc looked around. "Double again if you tell me who hired you."
Nassana noticed the Asari look around. "What?" she asked.
"I hear something." the merc said.
"Damn it. Check the other entrances." she ordered.
The Asari moved off to the direction where Nassana was pointing.
"You...stay put." Nassana said as something dropped behind a male merc.
"When I'm finished with this nucesnce..." as she said that a Drell moved up behind the merc and snapped his neck.
Before the other male merc could react the Drell slammed his fist into his face. He then drew a pistol from the Asari's mag holster and shot her in the chest with it. He spinning and taking a hold of the back of her head while pressed his gun to her belly. A loud bang sounded and Nassana grunted as the Drell moved her forward and laid her on her desk. After laying her on the desk he bought his hands up in a prayer.
"Impressive." Eve said.
Kira holstered her pistol which she took out during the fight and walked up to the desk.
"I was hoping to talk to you." Kira said with a calm voice but in truth she was scared shitless at what the assassin just did.
"I apologise but prayers for the wicked must not be forsaken." Thane said.
"Does she deserve it?" Kira asked.
"Not for her... for me." Thane confirmed. "The measure of an individual can be difficult to discern by actions alone. Take you for instance." he said as he holstered the pistol and walked round to the side of the desk. "All this destruction... chaos."
Kira looked at the dead body in front of her not knowing what to make of the situation.
"I was curious how far you'd go to find me." he said standing in front of her. "Well... here I am."
"How did you know I was coming at all?" Kira asked.
"I didn't. Until you marched through the front door and started shooting. Nassana had become paranoid. You saw the strength of her guard force." he said standing at her side while looking at Eve making her fell uncomfortable. "She believed that one of her sisters would kill her. You where a valuable distraction."
"Well glad I could be of some help." Kira said slightly offended at being used.
"Yes I needed a distraction and you needed to speak with me."
Kira then signalled for the two to stand down which they did.
"You certainly fulfilled your end of the bargain." The said while facing her. "What would you like to discuss?"
"Someone's been abducting entire human colonies. We're going to stop them. We already know who the culprits are, a race called the Collectors." Kira said as Thane moved over to the window at the far end.
Thane looked down. "I've heard of them." he said before turning to face her. "Attacking the collectors required going through the Omega-4 relay. No ship have ever returned from doing so."
"They told me it was impossible to get to Ilos too." Kira quipped.
"A fair point." Thane said with a smile. "You've build a career on performing the impossible." he said as Kira walked up to stand next to him. "This was to be my last job. I'm dying. But low survival odds don't concern me. The abduction of your colonists does."
"You're dying? Is it contagious? How long do you have?" Kira asked with her interest peaked.
"If your interested we can discuss it on your ship. The problem isn't contagious and won't affect my work."
"Still I hadn't heard it. Is there anything I can do?"
"Giving me this opportunity is enough. The universe is a dark place, I ', trying to make it brighter before I die. Many innocence died today. I wasn't fast enough, and they suffered. I must atone for that." he said turning to face her. "I will work for you Shepard. No charge."
The two shook hands.
"Good to..." Kira was about to say but out of the corner of her eye she saw something coming in fast.
A missile.
"GET DOWN!" she yelled grabbing Thane by the shoulder and brought him down as Eve and Liana hit the floor.
The missile made contact with the glass and exploded. Both metal and glass rained on all three of them. Once it stopped Kira brought up her omni-tool.
"JOKER WE NEED PICKUP NOW!" Kira yelled.
"ON THE WAY!" Joker said as another missile came in and hit the ceiling.
Glass and metal shards rained on all four of them but thankfully their shields held. The sound of jets met their ears and metal boots landing on the floor. Kira looked over to Eve and Liana and put a finger over her mouth telling to two to be quiet. The two nodded. Metal clacking sounded as something was moving froward a bit.
"Scanning for life." said an electronic female voice.
Reacting quickly Kira came out of cover fast to see an Asari Hawk standing there. Before the Asari Hawk could react Kira took in a deep breath and lunged at the Asari with a jet of fire coming out of her mouth. At first the Asari Hawk didn't scream but then a loud wine sounded and the Hawk collapsed onto the ground. It unnerved all four of them in that she didn't scream. Even Kira was disturbed by it and she wasn't really phased by anything.
Before anyone could say anything two more Asari Hawks came in fast. Kira took cover fast but as the hawks came in. but they flew away as the Normandy came to the top level of the building and the ramp lowered. The four didn't need any warning they ran off the edge of the building and thanks to their muscles landed in the cargo area. As they landed the ramp closed and the Normandy took off.
OOOOO
Rana looked up at the colossal robot that was made by Damien. It resembled a security mech but much larger and had more armour. The hight of the machine was easily 17 meters high. The chest of it was open and filled with a muscle wiring that resembled nerves for the pilot. The purpose for this was for the pilot's mind to be fully connected with the machine allowing for the machine to be like the pilots body.
The nerves were made by her and placed inside the machine. But the problem was that it was still untested. For this reason they where waiting for the troopers from the Alliance who where selected by the Admirals and sent there. Travos also sent some troopers along with the criminals, engineers and scientists. This side of the project could be done without Kira's side of the project but the two combined could take out every threat.
OOOOO
Several Asari republic ships docked with Omega making people panic slightly but the entire area was blocked off for safety reasons. But the cameras where turned off to prevent people from looking in. Astird mercs walked with the Asari prison ship security escorting the Asari prisoners to the higher parts of the station where some of the mercs where placing down windowed cubical rooms for the prisoners.
Each prisoner was gagged to prevent then from talking and had their hands and ankles cuffed and linked to each other. If they tried anything they would be on the receiving end of a shock stick. Which was painful, very painful. They where lead onto a cargo platform and taken up to the main area of where they where going to be staying. Astrid walked up to the main Security officer.
"Capitan thank you for bringing them. My men will take it from here." she said with the Capitan nodding.
Astrid's mercs then moved among the prisoners unlinking them and pushed them inside the large warehouse they where in. As they did some of the prisoners struggled with the mercs. But the mercs had shock batons which they used on the prisoners who where being disruptive. The mercs then lead one prisoner at a time and threw then into the glass cubicle's. They repeated it until all the prisoners in the cubicle's.
Once all in the Asari Security left. Once they had gone Astrid opened up her omni-tool and typed in a few keys. Top of the cubicle's opened and a black ooze dropped onto the floor. One it landed some of the prisoners touched it. As they did they fell to the floor as the ooze began to cover their body's. The other prisoners saw and began screaming and clawing at the glass trying to get out. But what they didn't know was that the ooze moved towards to them.
Some of the prisoners noticed but they could do nothing as ooze touched them and making them fall. The ooze then began to cover their body's. The mercs had no idea what this was or could do, but Astrid was as ruthless as Aria and even had Kira's support. This meant trouble if they didn't what she said. The Asari security brought up ten more groups of prisoners who where put into more cubicle's and had ooze poured over their body's.
When the last group was done Astird was in her office with her own slave licking her out as a call to Kira was going through. It soon connected to the commander who came up on screen.
"Astird what do you have to report?" Kira asked.
"The Asari gave us have of their prisoner share we have around 10,000 breeding sluts being created now." Astrid informed. "But I did notice that some of the cages gave off a blue ooze what's with that?"
"Ah yes I knew I forgot to tell you something. The blue ooze has the same probities as the black but creates a soldier out of the subject with high levels of loyalty and combat prowess. They are meant to replace some of your mercs. I think you know why."
Astrid nodded. Kira never liked mercs for the simple reason of no loyalty. Amazon's had a major sense of loyalty to their family, tribe/ clan and Alliance. But how they show that loyalty is a different matter. This was one of the reasons why Amazon's rivalled the Turrian military in some aspects.
"But like the breeding sluts it changes them in a week. Also since that you have criminals the Change leach will alter their facial structure so that they'll be unrecognisable. Even if a person did a DNA test it would fail to find their original DNA coding."
Astrid nodded at at that. "Ok Mistress good luck."
And with that her omni-tool closed.
