After collecting his gear and getting patched up at a med centre, Guy and his newly acquired partner were on a shuttle and heading off to complete this job. When Guy arrived at the shuttle he noticed that the Krogan was carrying a large black case which seemed much lighter than it was led to believe. He didn't say anything about it though, mostly because his face was in a lot of pain but also because he knew that even if he asked he wouldn't get an answer. Although he was new to this line of work he did know not to ask questions about things you're best off not knowing, especially if a massive Krogan is pissed that you've already cost him resources for an important job.

The shuttle was small as well as worn and looked as though it had seen its fair share of close calls in its life, inside and out. Guy just sat there and admired the surroundings he found himself in but more on how he ended up like this.

"I hope I live through this, things were starting to get fun."

"Do your job and you might just."

"So Krogan, what name should I shout out when things get racy?" Guy asked with a big grin.

"Oh great. You're an alien who thinks he's funny."

"Oh, don't be so cold, I'll go first. Call me Guy, everyone else does." The Krogan didn't reply, he just sat at the controls of the shuttle as he manoeuvred it towards a mass relay to get ready to jump. Guy was about to speak again but the relay lit up and before he knew it the shuttle was shot across the galaxy in an instant, making him feel sick as his mind and body tried to comprehend what had just happened.

"If you're going to be sick then I'm fucking spacing you, I don't care if I go with you because it will be worth it to see you explode." Guy laughed

"We could watch each other blow up in the vacuum. Which one of us do you think will go first? No even better which one will have the stupidest face when they do?"

"You're not quite right in the head are you runt?" The Krogan looked particularly concerned over this as he started to regret getting this human to be his partner.

"Meh who cares."

"I do, like it or not I need you to be someone who can watch my back. Even if it's for just one job I can't have a mentally unstable fool between me and a knife in the back."

"You worry too much. I'll do what you need me to so don't be concerned about what's going on inside my head and just worry about whether or not these guys try to cheat you." With that the two remained silent for the rest of the journey but the Krogan spent the whole time with one eye constantly on Guy not entirely sure what he was going to do.

When they passed through the last relay their destination came into view, the Citadel. The huge prothean built space station stretched out in a massive five pointed star before them, with it being the first time Guy seeing it he was crossed between amazement and excitement.

"Oh, the fun I can have here."

"Have fun in your own time." The krogan snarled and began the shuttles approach towards the station. After they had docked they left the shuttle and grabbed their package which Guy still had no idea what it was or even who they were taking it to.

"Where are we meeting?"

"The Wards, back allies of the main market area of Zakera. We're already late so if there's no more questions, we need to get moving." They flagged down a cab and before long they had reached the market district. The crowds were far larger than Guy was expecting not realising how big this place was. He'd seen large cities on Earth and lived in a reasonably sized city on Shanix but this place was a whole other story. He wasn't surprised to see that there were hardly any other humans here as it had only been a few months since his species had revealed itself to the galaxy. The looks he got from the other aliens made him think they'd never seen another alien before but he had far more pressing issues to worry about, like not causing the massive Krogan in front of him to snap his neck.

They then peeled off to the side and began wondering around the back allies looking for their contact who once again Guy had no clue about, not even what species they belonged to. This was his first real job as a mercenary and it wasn't supposed to be thanks to him picking a fight with the wrong Batarian. He was about to ask where they were going when the Krogan said

"We're here. Don't fuck up and we'll be in and out before we know it, then you can get lost. Clear?"

"Sure. Get in, get out, don't die. Seems easy enough." They turned a corner and came across a much larger opened area of the back streets and sitting in a group were three Turian's, all wearing casual clothes but armed with small side arms.

"About time Skarr, we're in a hurry here. You got the pac…. wait. Who the hell is this? Where's Tark'esh?" Guy found himself chuckling at his partners name.

"Skarr? You name yourself after your facial features." Skarr gave him a back hand across his face which stopped him laughing but he still smiled through his bruises.

"Tark'esh is currently lying in a pool of his own brain matter so he won't be joining us. This runt is his replacement and the one responsible for his unresponsive state." The Turian's all looked at Guy who waved back at them.

"A human? Not seen many of them before." One of them said before the first spoke again

"You should have told us about the change, how do we know nothing has been compromised?" Skarr was now the one laughing.

"Fine, deals off. I'll just take this back with me and be on my way to Omega." He said waving the case on one of his large clawed fingers and went to turn around.

"Wait! It's fine, let's just get the over and done with." The first Turian said in reluctance so Skarr turned back to face them.

"Good and for that, my price just went up."

"You scaly son of a…." started the third Turian

"Enough! We don't have time for this. Come on." The first one snapped who was now clearly the leader. Guy was just observing the whole situation from behind Skarr, this was after all his first job so he wanted to see how a deal went down between aliens. They all approached each other and Skarr held out the case.

"Guess you want to check this?" The leader nodded for one of the other Turian's to collect the case while the other held his holstered weapon which caused Guy to do the same with his. On the other hand, Skarr just stood there with a tired expression on his face, looking as though he just wanted to get this over and done with. After they had the case they opened it towards themselves so that either Skarr or Guy could see what was inside it.

"This everything?" the leader asked which Skarr shrugged

"Guess so. It was all I was told to transport so if there anything missing then take it up with the guys you brought it from." Guy knew it wasn't something you could get from any market stall or else this wouldn't be necessary but the Turian's did seem more nervous all of a sudden.

"Fair enough in that case we're done." And once he was finished speaking the other two Turian's readied their guns and pointed them at Skarr and Guy just as Guy returned the gesture. "Sorry Skarr. We can't have any loose ends so I'm afraid we've got to silence you both. Now drop your gun human." Guy smiled and took his hand of the barrel of his gun and slowly placed it on the ground.

"Not a good move. You treat everyone like this then no one will trust you and you'll find it difficult to get you little project done." Skarr was calm and still smiling at the Turian's

"As I said, we can't let anyone know what's going on so we've got to kill you. You know how it works Skarr." In a flash of steal, a blade found itself in one of the Turian's throats, making his drop his gun and clutch at his bloody neck. The blade had come from Guy who had hidden the blade in the back of his belt and flung it at the group in front on them. Being smaller and less of a threat he wasn't taken seriously so before the other two Turian's could react he ran full pelt at the gargling victim and pounced on him, forcing him to the ground.

Now the other Turian's were focused on him and not on Skarr which the Krogan took advantage of by lunging for the other armed alien. He bashed the gun from its grasp with one hand and grabbed its throat with the other, clenching it tightly until an audible click was hear. The Turian went limp in his hand so he dropped it instantly.

The leader who was still holding the case now stepped back from the fight and drew his pistol, pushing it against Guy's temple. Guy was still trying to retrieve his knife from his kill and didn't seem to care.

"Don't move Skarr! Even the slightest jitter and I'll blow his brains out!" Skarr was unimpressed but stood still as Guy still fumbled with his stuck blade.

"That goes for you too human!"

"Hang on, just want my knife back. Carry on, don't mind me." The leader was stunned that the human didn't care one bit that a gun was pressed against his skull.

"Don't you understand the situation idiot! I'll kill you if you don't stop moving!" Skarr burst out laughing

"Trust me mate, if he wasn't afraid of getting his neck snapped by me then he's not going to care one bit about a pistol against his head."

"What the fuck!" it squawked

"Yeah, forgot to mention. He's not right in the head." Skarr now turned to face the Turian.

"I just really like this knife, I want to get it out before the blood rusts the blade." Guy said as he pulled several times on the blade.

"Listen! I'm leaving here and you're not going to stop me! Understand!?" Guy then noticed the light around Skarr to flicker, as though it was attracted to him somehow. Still sitting in awe, he watched as Skarr shot his fist out and a wave seemed to flood across the room and knock the Turian off its feet and sending him hurtling across the street. He didn't even get to his feet before Skarr had ran across to him and slammed his boot on its arm still holding the gun making a loud crunch.

"Here's some friendly advice for you. If you're ever going to double cross someone and cut them out of a deal, bring more men. Preferably snipers so you don't make a fool of yourself like this, especially if you're dealing with a Krogan Battlemaster." Still crying in pain, the Turian nodded.

"Okay Okay! I'm sorry, just let me go!" Skarr took his boot of its arm slowly.

"My price just went up again by the way." The Turian activated it's omni-tool and tapped it several times while it was still whimpering. Then Skarr's omni-tool bleeped indicating the transfer went through, he checked the amount and then waved his hand, the Turian was gone in a second and crashed into some trash cans as he fled the scene.

"That was fucking brutal! Can you teach me how to do that?" Guy asked in wonderment.

"Sorry runt, you either got it or you don't when it comes to biotics." Skarr replied as he bent down and pulled the knife from the Turian's corpse with ease.

"Ah, never mind then." Guy sighed as he got to his feet and looked around the ally way. "I thought that went well."

"Meh, could have gone worse I suppose. You're still breathing so I guess your free to go now." Skarr then began to walk away.

"Actually, could I stick with you? I thought this was fun and I figured that if I did some more jobs with you then it might get even better." Skarr paused and sighed.

"Not a chance runt, I work alone. Easier that way and besides, you'll just end up getting killed before too long."

"Not if you teach me. Come on I promise not to be too annoying." Skarr then turned around

"I guess you did handle yourself all right there, you even gave me a good opening too." He then marched back over to him. "We do this then you do exactly what I say, even if I say for you to bite your own arm off. You got that?" Guy smiled back

"Got it, Boss."
