All right folks I am back, sorry about the long wait, these twins were just not being nice and telling me the story.
more chapters should be coming soonish I have some ideas flowing again so I might be able to finish the main game story.
If you want the DLC let me know.
Down goes the base.
Tali crouched beside Demo under cover, waiting for the green light from all points before Demo press the trigger on the detonator. In the vacuum of space there was no sound, but Tali felt the blast ripple through the hull of the collector base. The teams moved quickly to hack open the hatch, now that it was no longer covered in blast shields.
The collector base felt like the collector ship only much bigger to Tali, even though the air was safe no one removed their helmets, not wanting to risk getting spaced or gassed without them on. The twins vanished in a shimmer to scout ahead, while Legion and Tali quickly wired the airlock to blow if needed. Soon enough the teams reached the point they had been seeking the branching paths leading to the center of the base.
{All right lads and lassies time to spilt up, remember this is an op where it is leave nothing that even slightly looks like those fuckers in one piece.} Demo ordered, everyone nodded with grim expressions.
{Right Beta on Garrus, I will scout and flank. Avoid blasts on left flank, if harbinger shows break limbs while clearing the small fry then kill that shite bag.} Shadow ordered, Garrus gave a thumbs up and the beta squad moved out.
Beta was made up of Garrus, Eris, Jack, Morinth, Kasumi, Thane, and Miranda. Alpha was made up of Demo, Tali, Mordin, Zaeed, Grunt, Jacob, with Legion acting as the hacker in the shaft. Giving Beta a head start to traverse the slightly longer distance to their starting point, Legion then climbed into the vent shaft and the Alpha team moved out.
[Shepard-Captain we have encountered and blockage. This unit requires Shepard-Captain to locate the control panel for vent plate and operate it.] Legion informed them over the Comm, Tali glanced at the temp reading and gaped it was already climb to beyond normal life limits.
{You heard the Lad! Find that bloody panel control and open it!} Demo yelled, Tali watched as he leapt from cover to slam his Omni-knuckles into a collector's face blow the head off.
Zaeed hurtled the nearest barricade beside Tali and dove over the next, a moment later a loud hiss and thud was heard. Legion reported that the panel was open and that it was on the move. Tali moved from cover to cover catching up with Demo and covering him with her shield while he and the drones took out the collectors.
"I AM KROGAN!" Grunt roared as he picked up a collector by the ankle, the Collector began glowing. [Assuming direct cont-] Wham, Grunt began using Harbinger as a flail and crushing the other collectors with it.
Tali set her cameras to record the glowing collector being used as a weapon against it's own troops, Jacob was covering the rear and double tapping all the collectors. It soon fell into a rhythm that Zaeed oversaw removing road blocks for Legion, while Tali and Mordin covered Demo and Grunt respectively with Jacob double tapping behind them.

When the groups met up on the other side they found something that was down right horrifying, the pods they had seen the collectors trapping people in before were lining the walls. Mordin and Eris were scanning the pods when a strange hiss filled the room, Garrus watched as Eris at once tensed in sync with Mordin.
{Get those pods open now!} Eris screamed, pulling out her SMG and leveling at the pod containing a colonist girl.
"Pods, connected to fluid tank, fluids being pumped to tank, caustic elements detected!" Mordin chimed in using his Omni-Tool to burn his way into another pod.
Demo and the rest needed no more pushing, Garrus pulled his side arm and fired into the locking mechanism. A loud bang made him glance over, Demo had called up his Omni-Bow and was firing round after blasting round in to the tanks, clearing three in the time it took Garrus to open on. They got the last pod open as the fluid inside reached the woman's feet, leaving caustic burn all over them.
"Fluid contains traces of both inorganic and organic material. Pumps at bottom of pod indicate transference after subject is fully dissolved." Mordin rambled as he treated the Woman's feet.
{Right then Laddies, change in the plans. Joker, EDI plan a route that is safe and forward it to Jacob and Mordin. You two see that these folks get there safely, Jacob you're on piggyback duty, Mordin you know what to do.} Demo ordered, the pair nodded and collected the colonists and left.
