She knew they were coming.
Whether it was cerberus troopers or the reaper monstrosities they had unleashed, she didn't really care anymore.
She had heard it said that it was a terrible thing for a parent to bury a child, but she had she had never thought that it would happen to her. Even in a place as terrible as Omega. It was a year after the fact, and she had never forgiven herself for not being more present in Nef's life.
The screams sounded closer now.
A small sob caught itself in her chest, and she ran her hand along her daughter's sculpture.
At least she'd be seeing her daughter again soon.
There was a clicking noise and her door slid open. Diana expected a monster, but what she saw was a slightly bloody, determined looking gray haired woman holding an assault rifle.
Diana started to say something, but then a turian came up behind the woman
"What now Grizz?" the woman in the doorway snapped.
The barefaced turian grimaced. "Sniper took out Ogrinn. And we lost three civvies to a grenade."
That caused the older woman to curse, before motioning to Diana with her gun.
"The name's Helena Blake. I'm a...social worker. Grab your things. We're evacuating the area."
"Are..are you one of Aria's people?" Diana murmured in amazement.
"Something like that. Now come on."
Clutching the sculpture tightly, she followed the other woman out.
