Well butterscotch fuck. I really wasn't expecting that. And as much as I tried to hide that fact…I couldn't….. My mouth was agape and inside my mind I was like.

/watch?v=eUSNvZukIWU

Tali noticed my staring and brought her shotgun back at attention. "What are you doing here?!" she asked a little more fiercely.

I snapped back at attention. "We came here for info on a rogue Specter who might be working alongside the Geth. We developed a system to retrieve the data from a short distance but we couldn't find a Geth that was alone. We've been here for about eight hours waiting for an opportunity." I said all in one go to avoid having her asking more questions. And obviously not mentioning GOD.

"A Rogue Specter?" she asked. "Are you crazy?"

"Probably." A voice spoke up. Tali turned her head quickly to the left, only to be greeted with the barrel of a pistol in front of her face.

"How did-?" began to ask Tali in a surprised voice.

"Drop it." Said Fasha. "Try anything funny and my sexually confused Sniper friend will blow your head off."

"Oh Ha Ha." Said Denalli sarcastically as he sighted down Tali through his scope.

Tali let the Shotgun drop at her feet.

Drakev stepped out from the path that I used and pointed his shotgun at Tali as well.

'A Krogan?' thought Tali before sharply inhaling air due to the injury of her shoulder.

I noticed this and quickly came to her side, startling her.

"It's okay." I said. "Weapons down guys." I said through my normal communicator. "She needs help."

"Denalli. Come here aswell."

Fasha quickly flipped back her pistol and placed it in the holster on her right leg. She had a few cuts and bruises on her face and on her body, her uniform was cut in a few places but other than that it looked like she didn't even break a sweat.

Drakev placed his shotgun on his back again. He also looked beat but to a much lesser extent. Why? Because Krogan.

Denalli casually emerged from the jungle with his sniper rifle over his right shoulder and zero injuries.

"Wow…you guys look like shit." He said.

Drakev and Fasha shot him death glares.

Tali looked over at Denalli. 'A Turian?'

"You need help." I said. "We have to get that sealed up."

"I-I have some repair Tape for my suit but I ran out of antibiotics." Said Tali with a slight labored breath.

Suddently an explosion was heard from far away. We all turned towards the source. Silence was followed.

Tali's eyes widened. "Oh no." she said as she quickly opened her Omni tool.

"They found my ship." She said weakly as her head lowered. "The antibiotics were there."

"Come with us. Quickly." I said. "We have antibiotics in our shuttle."

Tali looked up and stared at all of us.

"Thank y-" Tali started to say before passing out due to the pain in her shoulder and the blood loss.

"Shit!" I yelled.

I ran over and caught her before she hit the ground.

"We need to leave. Now." I said hurriedly.

"Hold up." Said Fasha as she looked at the disabled Geth at her feet and then back at me.

"Let's wipe the data clean off this Geth, or else this would have been all for nothing for us."

She looked at Tali's unconscious Body that I now carried. "And for her."

"How long?" asked Denalli.

"Five minutes tops." Said Fasha as she opened her omni tool and began the download.

"Drakev, tell the shuttle that we need evac ASAP." I said as I applied Medi-gel to Tali's wound.

"You think this is a good idea?" asked Fasha. "Bringing her with us I mean."

I didn't look up. "This Quarian's name is Tali'Zora."

Everybody's eyes widened when I mentioned that.

"You mean to tell me that-" began to say Fasha.

"That the attack on Eden prime is going to happen soon if not right now." I said with a low voice as I treated Tali's wounds.

"Shit." Breathed Denalli.

Fasha quietly sighed.

"Here comes the shuttle!" Yelled Drakev.

And indeed there it was. I picked up Tali and carried her bridal style inside. Denalli followed me. Fasha finished the download and ran inside. Drakev picked up Tali's shotgun and followed suit.

"I want the stealth systems at full power even if it means slowing down the shuttle a little bit." Said Fasha.

"Doesn't she need Medical attention?" asked Denalli.

"The Geth will shoot us out of the sky if they can read us on their scanners. Not worth taking the risk." Said Fasha as she treated her wounds.

"So where now?" asked Drakev.

I cupped my face in my hands and rubbed my eyes. "The Citadel."

"Wait what?" asked Fasha as she quickly looked over to me. "Isn't there a place closer to here?" she asked.

"Oh plenty but…Shepard meets Tali on the Citadel and gives him the Evidence (sigh) which means we have to think up a way to meet up with Shepard." I said as I looked over at Tali's sleeping form next to me.

Drakev Chuckled. "What makes you so sure that Saren and the Geth have started?"

"Tali was on that planet looking for info on Geth, specifically on a Geth itself. She found it. An audio log with Saren and Matriarch Benezia pulling a Dr. Evil."

"Dr. Evil?" asked Fasha.

"Sorry….some old movies I watched." I said.

"But anyway, to make the story shorter. Tali gets surrounded by some thugs belonging to guy called Fist and Shepard comes in and saves the day. Shepard came to help because that proof is the only thing he has against Saren." I said staring back at the floor.

"We'll find out soon enough when we leave the veil, then we can contact our operative in the Normandy if available. Or if they contact us first."

And so the wait begins.

GOD meeting. Third person POV.

"Well I don't know Soze." Said Sabine. "Saren's been quiet so far and we need to find a way to bring more troops to Eden Prime without causing suspicion."

Umbra spoke up. "We need some people on the planet as well. Disguised as civilians."

"We already have that covered." Said Gunner. "They are uncovering a Prothian beacon as we speak. That is why Saren is going there. Alliance forces are there and most of them belong to us, as well as most of the scientists and civilians."

Umbra leaned back in her chair. "Well then I don't see that we need to cover anything else…what you think boss?" asked Umbra as she looked over to V.

V was looking at the various data pads in front of him. "Gunner is right; we have enough people on the surface so that won't be an issue-."

A voice suddenly boomed out.

"ATTENTION! Incoming transmission from the Normandy! It's very urgent!"

Everybody was at attention.

"Allow access!" yelled V.

Suddenly a figure appeared. "Damn people wouldn't let the call go through I have to make this short. Listen, this clip just came from Eden Prime. This just got sent to Shepard, Anderson and Nihlus. Take a look."

The clip appeared on the screen and as it played everyone stood rock still.

"Shit." Whispered Gunner.

After the clip Finished the only sounds that were left were the ones coming from operative on the Normandy.

"As of now it's been one minute and twenty seconds since that arrived." Said the operative.

"Shit I have to go. Good luck." The call dropped.

Silence.

"SHIT!" spat out Soze. Voice echoing the room.

"Listen up." Said V. "Begin the plan."

Everybody nodded.

Conrad placed his hands on the table and leaned against them.

"Ladies and Gentleman…lets protect our home."
