Mass Effect Shepard Rises.
Ambassador Udina stood on the end of the platform looking up at the three council species as the asari councillor spoke in her usual calm tone.
"SPECTRE Shepard's actions on Noveria have caused us no end of trouble Ambassador Udina, many of the corporate companies have filed numerous complaints and threatened to take action against the council."
Udina bowed and put on his best ass kissing voice "my apologise councillor, Shepard is on his way here now I assure you he will be dealt with." He looked back up at the council and wait for them to respond.
"We will block his SPECTRE access until further notice, may I suggest you impound the Normandy when it docks next with the citadel." The Turian councillor said with slight venom.
Udina nodded "of course I have already contacted the Normandy and they should be here within the next few hours." He watched as the councillors looked at each other and nodded.
"Good we will meet again once Shepard is aboard the Citadel."
Udina watched as the councillors turned and disappeared into their private chamber he turned on his heel and headed towards his office.
Unknown location. Cronos station.
The illusive man sat on his chair smoking and drinking his rare whiskey, the door behind him opened and he heard the click of high heels walking behind him and Miranda stepped into his view.
"Sir I bring news."
He nodded and took a sip from his whiskey "what is it Miranda?"
"our spies have infiltrated Ambassador Udina office on the Citadel, I thought we could use him to further our goals."
He turned his attention back to the glowing red and blue star in front of his station and stared at it for a minute deep in thought, he then turned his attention back to his second in command "do whatever it takes to get him on Cerberus's side, he will prove most useful in coming events." He watched as confusion settled on Miranda's perfect features.
"Sir what events, if I may ask?"
He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose "we need to advance human dominance in the galaxy, we are treated a little better than Quarians, this war with Saren proves just how fragile our place is in the galaxy so far only one man has stood against him, one very specific man we need Shepard." He took a drag of this cigar and placed in on the ashtray as he stood up and walked to the window and looked down at the star "get him on side do whatever it takes but we can't lose Shepard." He waved his hand and dismissed Miranda once alone he walked back to his chair and opened his terminal and brought up the super solider project, it was showing promising results but not enough to warrant more funding placing the project on hold for now, he closed the window and picked up his cigar. A few minutes later a beeping sound alerted him to a message and he opened the window on his terminal and read the message with a smile.
Sir I have spoken with Ambassador Udina and he has agreed to support our goal, he is awaiting instructions from yourself.
He looked back at the star and chuckled to himself with Shepard leading firmly under the Cerberus flag human dominance was a sure thing.
Normandy.
Shepard stood behind Joker as the Normandy headed towards the Mass Relay, he watched as Joker expertly glided the Normandy towards the relay reading out stats as he did so "better brace yourself, hitting the relay i and jump." Shepard felt the Normandy shudder with power, he watched as time seemed to slow for a second as the Normandy was surrounded in a blue light, and then he took a step back as he felt the Normandy shoot forward traveling faster than the speed of light.
Within a minute at tops the Normandy slowed down and exited the Relay into a purple haze, as joker spoke that all systems were normal he watched amazed as the Citadel seemed to appear out of the haze it amazed him each time he saw the citadel, the intercom beeped and a voice came through the speakers.
"SSV Normandy this is Citadel control, we have you on our scanners please proceed to the SPECTRE docking bay, follow your on board nav computer."
He watched as Joker opened the com systems "roger Citadel control Normandy out." He watched as Joker hands flew across the controls with ease as the Normandy glided into the private SPECTRE dock and the docking clamps locked the Normandy into place, he stepped away from the chair and Joker turned to him with a smile on his face.
"There we are commander, now if you excuse me I have a date with a lovely steel shit house."
Shepard watched as Joker limped down the CIC and disappeared down the stairs leading to the mess hall. He turned to Tali and offered her his hand "come on, we got a date with the council." He said as she took his hand and he lead her into the airlock but before the door could shut Garrus walked through the door.
"Mind if I tag along."
He watched as Garrus folded his arms across his chest waiting for an answer, Shepard looked at Tali over his shoulder who shrugged "sure why not."
The team exited the Normandy and entered the private elevator heading straight towards the council chambers and waited as the door closed.
"Ahem so…. Tali want to tell me about your immune system."
Shepard heard a soft sigh besides him and watched as Tali unclipped her Shotgun and pointed it lazily at the floor.
"Garrus I have a shotgun."
"Ah hm well I think I should shut up now."
Shepard chuckled at the pair of them and turned towards the door as the elevator slowed to a stop and he stepped out.
Tali watched as Shepard walked through the council chambers until he reached the edge of the platform and stood next to the human Ambassador Shepard stood with his arms behind his back standing proud.
"Commander Shepard thanks to your actions the council is finally taking action against Saren."
Tali watched as Shepard nodded to Udina and turned to look at the council as the asari councillor spoke.
"Indeed we have Shepard, if Saren is stupid enough to attack the Citadel we will be ready."
She watched as Shepard took a step forward to speak but was cut off by the Turian councillor.
"Do you have any more clues as the Saren's whereabouts?"
Even Tali could detect the venom in his voice but Shepard just ignored it "We do not councillor I have Liara T'Soni researching it as we speak." Tali watched as the asari councillor stepped forward and rested her hands on the rails.
"And how does she know what to look for?"
Tali watched as Shepard shuffled his feet and cleared his throat "she melded her mind with mine." Tali watched as the asari councillor lowered her head for a moment then straightened back up.
"Then your investigation is at a dead end, Ambassador if you please."
Shepard turned to Udina and raised an eyebrow "Shepard until further notice you are grounded, the Normandy systems have been locked"
"What" Shepard shouted and clenched his hands into fists "but you can't do that." He watched as a smug smile spread on Udina face.
"I will take it from here Shepard, the council has the situation under control with my help of course."
Shepard reached out and went to punch Udina but thought better of it "No body and I mean no body screws me over Udina." He turned and stormed out the council chambers.
