Chapter 6
We spent a few years just exploring to see just how extensive the gate system was in our realm. It turned out to be only a hundred and fifty gates on worlds that most are uninhabited. But there are a few that are; and they're at or above earth tech wise.
We decide to not mess with anything for now, we have all our raw material hoppers full, so we don't need to mine anything. We do try to spend as much of my fortune on earth as possible. Jasper suggested we sell my inventions to several companies before the feds get wind of us. And if they do, we will just beam out or teleport out if they do come for us! So, just to spite the feds we do sell the prototypes to several companies. The cures for cancer and a few others we give to several hospitals and spam everyone with an E-mail address of the sale of free energy, antigravity generators, and the cures for several diseases. The response was eh until a few years later that some flying cars started to show up, then people started surviving cancer without losing all their hair.
We watch as the governments try to stop some of the inventions that people were making from our full disclosure E-mails. But it was useless to even stop the ripple of excitement in learning to do something new. Jasper said grinning
"We showed them assholes there was a way around their bureaucracy! All we needed was a super computer and several teams to sell the working prototypes to several large companies! And we beat the man! What surprises me is it didn't take as long for people to build their own versions."
"That is because there are people that like to tinker and build in their own garages to see if the plans were correct. But others would build it just to prove everyone it was a hoax! But come to find out it was true, and everyone then figures out a way to use this new stuff in everyday life." I say grinning and smack Jasper on the back.
"Good point brother, what else should we invent and release to the masses?" Jasper asked me and used my shoulder as an armrest.
"I think we will let them work on getting more inventions out on their own." I say then poke him in the ribs making him jump as I smirk then run.
"Bella? I am going to kick your husband's ass shortly, okay darlin?"
"Sure Jasper, just don't hurt him too bad or I will tell Monica." Jasper put his hands up in I surrender motion and took off for Alex.
When he finally found Alex, he was watching stargate sg1 with big and little Charlie, Jack, Daniel, Sam, and George. So, Jasper just plopped down next to Alex and punched his arm and grinned.
"Ow. Okay I deserve that one. When are we supposed to go visit Peter and Char again?" I ask Jasper while rubbing my arm.
"Anytime we are ready, I am sure Char would be glad to see us again. You know how Peter is when we visit, he likes to see how far he can push you till you will fight him." We both chuckle at the thought.
We sit and watch several episodes, okay we make it a marathon day of watching and discussing what they would have gone thru had we not been there. Everyone chuckled at some of the things Jack would say or do. Of course, he would deny he would ever say or do anything like that!
We went and visited Peter and Char a few days later. We rode horses and helped around the farm, our kids ran and played with their kids. And Peter pushed until we were fighting! Let's just say it was even some of the time, until Jasper jumped in and they came at me two on one! Cheaters! But we had fun and was yelled at for being covered in dirt, the kids not one for being left out had jumped in at one point and was just as dirty as we were. It was a fun week before we decided to see what the next realm would be like.
The former Volturi members didn't spend anytime on earth for the reason of their former coven members are still after them, maybe. But everyone else had come down to see what our world was like compared to the last realm. The Mikaelson's came and visited our new ship and was blown away by the size of everything. But they didn't stick around for very long, something about the witches getting uppity again.
We had everyone back on board and we said our goodbyes to our friends again and we shrunk the mothership and went thru the portal. We are ready for our next adventure! we hope! When we come thru, we begin scanning for possible signs to give us a hint of where we are. It isn't for some time that we get any kind of idea of what to expect, Gray is hoping for the Harry Potter realm. A few others are hoping for some place we can use magic and to have a good fight.
The kids are hoping for Star Trek or if possible, Star Wars. I even heard someone mention Battlestar Galactica at one point! Some even hope for more space themed realms like alien, Mass Effect or even Dr. Who! I must admit I even would like to meet the doctor. I over heard Bella and the ladies talking about Middle Earth, just to meet the elves! I swear they have it bad for the prince! Jasper just shakes his head and chuckles at them for their crush.
I personally am hoping for someplace we can cut lose with our magic, so Middle Earth or Harry Potter would work for me. Although Dragon Age or the Elder Scrolls would work also. We get a signal letting us know we have picked up a type of internet out here in space. So, possibly its Mass Effect if so, we will have our work cut out for us if it is!
"Dad, we have confirmed we are in Mass Effect realm! Do we have enough ships to fight against the reapers?" AJ my son asked
"Well, we have over 60 aurora class and 48 alphas then 8 city ships and thankfully we built a second mothership. So, what year is it here? Do we have time to make some preparations of our own?"
"According to their weird internet? Its 2182 so Shepard will be put up for SPECTRE in a few months." Haley my daughter reported
"Brother we will need to come up with a strategy for the upcoming fight. Are we going to involve ourselves in the Normandy crew?" Jasper asked me with a raised eyebrow.
"If we do then we might need to use our ship to speed up our travel time and just dock the Normandy until we need to drop the ground team. I think we should make our own version of the Mako so we can fit the entire ground team and make it able to fly!" I say grinning along with our kids and Jasper. He loves to tinker along with us!
"What else can we do to help with the fight?" Jasper was serious now.
"I think we should use our defense grid on the higher populated planets. We could slow the reapers down in doing so, that could give us the time to take them out. We could upgrade the two fleets, not saying we give out our tech. We just tweak theirs! I know where your mind was going brother. We need to find some mineral rich planets and we need to check out this element zero that they only use. Surely they had come up with a hyperdrive or something similar?" everyone was nodding
"I think we all agree with your plan, what if they do make it past our defense grid? What about the population of said worlds?" Bella asked
"Well, we could build bunkers like we found in Pegasus. Or, we could set up a secondary planet and beam them up and send them thru a stargate to the secondary hidden world. But before we do that remember we can cloak the planet and we can take the planet out of phase. That should protect the planet and its people." I say to everyone and they get that oh yeah look.
"Dad? Does this mean we are getting the shipyards out and building more defense grids? We will also need to set up more solar collectors to power all these defense grids. So, we need to investigate some planets out away from the main stream traffic areas."
We begin scouting for several planets and the ones we used before are untouched. So, we set up the mining drones and shipyards, we also setup extra solar collectors. Luckily, we have enough naquadah and trinium on these planets to tackle our build project. We also scout for the same material to upgrade the fleets that they use. We do manage to investigate element zero. We conclude it is unstable, but we can tweak their systems to utilize it more efficiently.
By the time Sheppard and the beacon is uncovered at Eden Prime we have enough defense grids to cover 15 worlds, but we will continue to build them until we have enough to cover 20 worlds. We also have increased our spy satellites and have had scouts going out and dropping them close to the relays and over populated worlds. While doing this any reaper tech is beamed to the nearest star.
We also replaced the mini relay with a fake and placed the real one close to a star. So, hopefully if they use the conduit it will be the end of Saren or the geth. Our project to replace the Mako is complete I just hope Shepard lets us use it. If not? Oh well, we have a flying tank for some fun someplace else. We hopefully can take out sovereign at Eden Prime, but we shall see when the time comes. We do update our media from earth and sell some gold for credits.
The time has come to meet up with Shepard we need to decide either we meet him on Eden Prime or on the citadel. We decide Eden prime is the best place to meet up with him. We locate Saren and we watch his every move! When the Normandy comes into range we prepare for the fight. Well, we have been blasting the walking toasters every chance we get. The husks we manage to keep the geth from setting the dragons teeth and beam them to the star.
We see Nihlus I pull him down behind a rock and explain what is about to happen if he turns his back on Sarin. He just asks who are you? and I reply trust your gut instinct. He isn't sure but since we didn't try to disarm him, he just nods, and I say we will back him up. We watch as they chat and Nihlus turns his back and turns back in time to prevent himself from getting shot. They fight but Sarin gets the upper hand, so I take off his right arm and left leg at the knee. Nihlus finishes Sarin off with a shotgun to the face.
We descend the hill and he thanked us for the heads up.
"I don't know who you people are, but you have some odd armor. But I thank you for saving my life, what are your names?"
"I am Alex this is my brother in all but blood Jasper and a few of our kids. I know you are thinking it's not possible, but you will get a more in depth greeting once we have taken out these walking toasters coming from the train station."
He turns and we fire taking out all six geth, then Shepard comes in with her team. She and Nihlus are talking quietly off from us, then they come back and ask us to accompany them on further.
So, we ride the train and I whip out my sniper rifle and start shooting geth as they pop up further on the train. The primes are the fun ones to shoot! Once the geth are taken care of we are in time to stop at the next station where the beacon is located. We have more geth and bombs enough to wipe out a good portion of the settlement here. I pick them up and store them in my pendant as we deactivate them, I don't think they noticed.
When the platform was clear we went to go to the space dock to see if the beacon was still intact. On the way I called husks and the commander's team was leading so they managed to take them out with a massive number of bullets. Once the dock was clear they radioed Normandy to pick us up. Though nosy Williams got pulled into the beacon and Shepard nocks her out thus getting caught herself. We watch as she was lifted for a few seconds as it transfers the information to her mind then drops her.
We went quietly to the Normandy and watched as they scan Shepard to see that she was out cold for now. Then captain Anderson switched his attention to our group. Nihlus also took him aside and had a quiet discussion about what happened on the planet. We follow them to the briefing room and it's just an oval room with chairs around the edge of the room. And no table! How are you supposed to conduct an interview with no table to hold your coffee or data pads?
"I understand you saved the life of Nihlus today, on behalf of the alliance we thank you. Now would you mind telling me who you are and what those suits are your wearing?"
We introduce ourselves but don't include Gray or any of the other Furling that are cloaked. We explain our suit is a new model we have worked on and is not for sale. He was shocked that we had let teenagers carry weapons and enter a fight. We just shrug and tell them the Turians do the same when they send their young to boot camp when they turn 15. Nihlus confirms that as true and the captain still wasn't happy about it, we shrug and say put them against anyone in your ship and I bet they beat them. He didn't want to try that in case the kids got hurt we shrug and say your loss. Nihlus does the equivalent of a turian smirk, and we offer to travel with them to the citadel.
The trip was so freaking long! Yes, we are using our ship to speed up travel time if Shepard will allow us to assist. Its almost twenty hours before we get to the giant tampon applicator and we all are getting to be stir crazy sitting around or napping. Well, that was the first hour or two then we got permission to check out the Mako! It's a clunky hunk of junk if we ever saw one! We tweak a few things here and there to increase performance and we add more armor plate and beef up the shield generator and add two more emitters.
By the time we get to the citadel we have been thru the Mako twice! That was how bored we were. We go thru c-sec and they discover we don't exist in any records. We just say we never left the planet, that was a likely story. And they bought it, so they did a work up on us now we have a short story on what they think who we are. I have to say Udina is a real dumbass! Shepard keeps eyeing us, why?
They go before the council we are wearing regular clothes to keep the questions to a minimum. Garrus was nervous when we met him just a few minutes ago. We don't get called on to testify thank god for small mercies! We go try to find some more dirt on Sarin and we bump into Garrus again at some doctor's office. Then Wrex at c-sec, so we all go to visit a guy named Fist? Who would do that on purpose?
It was a brief fire fight, Wrex was laughing his hump off he was having so much fun! When we get to Fist, and he spills his secrets I loot his safe. And come up with his stash of credits and have Isabella put them in a new account for us that couldn't be tracked. Then Wrex finishes his contract by shooting Fist with his shotgun. Shepard isn't a happy camper I then hand her all the dirt that we found out about Fist. She sighs and shrugs and we run for the alley to rescue the Quarrian that is in trouble. It was a short fight since there was only four of them to ten of us. After she said she had more dirt on Saren she is invited along to see Anderson and Udina after we drop off the info on Fist to a reporter.
The next stop was the council chambers and Shepard is sworn in as a spectre and we are formally asked to join her after we return to the ambassador chambers. We accept of course and we will explain our ship once we leave the citadel and offer to help speed things along.
"Dad, when are we going to introduce them to Isabella?"
"I was thinking after we leave the citadel. For now, let's go buy the best guns they have so we can tinker with them and make them better!" they all nodded, and we talked Garrus and Shepard into going gun shopping with us. I got as close to mark ten on everything, the armor we just kind of looked at then said eh guns are more important.
Garrus compared stats on the guns and what mods would work best. Then we all got an omni tool, I could see the gears turning over in my kids heads to tinker with them and make them better! I was too!
"Why don't you have an omni tool? Everyone has one at one point, you're not telling me everything are you?" Jane said with a raised eyebrow.
"I tell you what. We will have full disclosure once we leave the citadel, you may like what you see." Jasper said while we smirked
"Ugh fine! It better be good, or I may throw you lot out the airlock!"
I buy Garrus and Tali some actual dextro food and rations. I then buy actual food for us, just to see what some of the other races have that we have never tried. Jane just looks at us funny, I guess she like the food rations we ate on the way here. All I have to say on the matter is YUCK! That is so GROSS! We get all loaded up and wait for the sendoff I hang out in the cock pit chatting with Joker. I think we can cure his brittle bone disease I also bought an L-4 implant for Kaiden that just came out. I had to sell some more gold and jewels but hey it was totally worth it! When they give the okay Jane gives her speech then we back out of the dock and head for the relay. Its now or never! Jane is looking at me expectantly show time!
"First what do you want me to call you? Shepard or Commander? Or Jane?" she scrunches up her nose like Bella does when thinking.
"Shepard or commander is fine now how about that full disclosure?"
"You got it commander, Joker instead of heading into the relay go past it for twenty minutes then come to a complete stop."
"Commander is that the order?" Joker asked her and she nods
It is quiet for the entire twenty minutes and when we come to a complete stop. I signal Isabella to drop the cloak and open docking bay doors. There were several gasps I turn to see the entire ground team standing behind us. I grin and tell Joker to dock he double checks with Jane and she nods. Once we are docked and the doors are closed, we lead them to the airlock and to one of our conference rooms. I bring Joker along for his treatment. Once everyone is settled the questions come flying nonstop, until I hold my hand up and they go silent.
"First, we are not from this realm, we also know pretty much what will happen in the next three to four years. Now as for the ship she is our mothership she is 12 miles long 5 miles wide and three miles tall. We can travel faster than the relays can send you and we can still go even faster between galaxies. I am or look 18 when I am actually closer to 60, you have met some of our kids? They are teenagers still but are closer to 30 in the amount of time we have birthed them. Now the reason we didn't say anything before is because we would like this to be kept quiet as possible."
"Okay, I can understand that. But how have you been able to build a ship this large and to power it?" Tali asked and everyone nodded.
"Its simple Tali, our race has over 75 million years of history where you only have a few thousand years. And to get this out of the way there are other realms that this is a video game. There are people that can get a glimpse of other worlds and create movies, books, tv shows, and video games from what they have seen. Case in point I would like to introduce to you the people from stargate sg1 and we have proof that there was a tv show here in the late 1990 to 2000 on earth about their life."
They ask several questions and I show them the clips from the tv show and we show them Atlantis in the upper docking bay. They are all shocked! We then go back to the conference room and I show them clips of Mass Effect it takes three hours to get thru. After it was done it was silent as everyone was going thru what they learned.
"So, you are hoping to help prevent as many deaths as possible? What is your plan? And I would like to prevent my death if possible, I don't want to work for Cerberus and I sure as hell don't want to owe them for bringing me back to life!" Jane was freaking out now.
"We will work on this together commander, now on a less depressing topic Joker we might be able to cure your illness. That is if you will let us run some scans? Also, the good doctor can join us in the med bay if she would like. Also, Kaiden I bought you an L4 implant to replace your out of date L2 that is causing you so many headaches."
They all agreed, and we had our team taking care of them with their doctor watching on with a curious expression. I then pull Garrus over and have him lay on the medical bed and then I have Tali lay on one and begin scans. I then have some ideas run thru the simulator for her suit cure and the fact that they could eat levo or dextro and not cause any adverse side effects.
"Okay, you both can sit up now. We may have a way for you both to enjoy eating levo and dextro without any side effects. Tali I think we can cure you of that suit that is stuck on you. Meaning you can wear clothes and shower like everyone. But it will be a trial we need to make sure it is permanent before we offer it to others, what do you both say?"
"Are you sure we could eat anything and not have any side effects?" I nod and Garrus then nods I go and administer the shots. Then Tali wants to have the suit cure.
"Give it a couple of hours before you remove any of your suit, so we will come back here in two hours and do another scan and go from there."
We go to the bridge and I let Shepard know she is still in charge we will follow her orders unless it involves our ship then we will drop the ground team with the Normandy. She liked that idea! So, we go in search for Liara and we find her after a couple of hours of searching the wrong sector after I told them they face palmed. The shots worked and Tali and Garrus were able to eat any food and Tali was able to remove her helmet to eat real food not paste.
I introduce our version of the Mako, and Shepard is all for trying it out! We take out several geth drop ships as we approach the planet, and since Joker is still in med bay, the relief for Joker flies us out and drops us off on Therrum. I let Jane drive and Garrus took the guns.
"So, commander how does she handle so far?"
"It handles smooth like an air car would, hey Garrus how are the weapons working?"
"I like this setup they have; can I get one?" we chuckle at his unhidden joy of shooting geth with a powerful weapon.
"Sorry, but we did tweak the Mako on the way to the citadel, maybe we should see if we made a difference with it?" they're shoulders slumped
When we get to the dig site, we have no trouble getting to Liara. I use my earth magic to tunnel under her cell in to where there is a giant lift. As Jane drops Liara I examine the control panel and the shield emitters. I decide to take them to study further and rip them out of the wall and take the entire control panel.
"We might want to get going commander this area is unstable."
About that time there is a tremor and Liara squeaks as we get back onto the lift. At the top we meet the Krogan and 5 geth. I summon all their weapons and toss them over the side.
"I see someone likes to cheat! No matter I will still kill you!"
I float him up and throw him over the side while everyone takes out the geth. Once they are done, we run back up to the entrance, we climb into our tank and Jane lifts off for Normandy to pick us up. We then dock with Isabella as we are sitting around the briefing room.
"How could we dock? We aren't anywhere near a space station!" Liara asks and Jane just ignores her and questions her about why her mother is working with Saren. After all questions are done, we go back to the airlock and exit Normandy. We go check on Joker and Kaiden to find them up and walking around.
"Hey commander! I can now walk and run without fracturing anything!"
"That's great Joker I am so glad to hear it, maybe now I can talk you into leaving the cockpit more often. Kaiden how are you feeling now?"
"I feel great commander! No more headaches I feel great! How did the mission go commander?"
"It went smooth their version of the Mako is amazing, after seeing what they can do with that I am going to let them look at the Normandy. I have thought this thru and I think they can help with the fleet like they said they could."
"Yes commander, if you think its safe to let them look at Normandy then the fleet, we can only hope they will be able to help us survive."
We take our team to the Normandy and go over the entire ship. Once we have a list of things, we can improve we let the commander look at and approve of the upgrades. She gave us the go ahead and we improve the power production and add two hyper drive engines. Then we beef up the hull plating and weapons, the funny thing is they had these blueprints and never tried to implement them on anything. We were almost finished when we arrived at Noveria, so we just waited until all the upgrades were finished.
While we waited, I got Wrex to lay down on the medical scanner so I could have a detailed picture of what the genophage is doing. He said when we got back to the citadel, he could round up a couple of females to scan. I tell him I might be able to work around it but keep it between us for now. He said you got it Alex, we will take all the help you can give us! I just nod and say I will do all I can.
Once the upgrades are complete on the Normandy, we take her in to dock at Noveria. Since the commander knew what to expect we didn't bother with asking to many questions of the administrator just for permission to leave the port. Then we go to the bar and locate the turian and we go get his proof out of his office. We beat the stuffing out of the crooked rent a cop. We go and give the information to the turian and ask him about testifying and possibly taking over as the new administrator. He said he would consider it and gave us a pass to leave the port.
We take out the geth in the garage and I pull out our tank and enlarge it shocking the commander and the others.
"Wow! I would really like to see what you can do when you cut loose." Jane said with awe in her voice.
"I call the weapons again!" Garrus said as he was climbing in.
"I am driving again! This thing handles like a dream." Jane said also.
We just chuckle at them as we climb into the back seats. They destroy all the geth and the turrets on the way to peak 15 labs. Then we unload the tank and enter the complex to fight off krogan and geth primes. Once we get into the building, we then face Rachni and a few geth. We then have to get everything running again, and connect the land lines? You would think they wouldn't need them with as advanced as they are supposed to be! When we are finally on the tram to the actual labs, we talk about what to expect.
We don't take the direct route and go thru the lower tunnels after getting the cure for the doctor. Which meant we had to deal with the Asari commando and a couple more geth. After we get to where the queen is located and must deal with Benezia. I tell them to keep them distracted while I change them into a marble. I figure we could try to cure them of the indoctrination if possible. After we dealt with them and we get the information from Benezia I turn her into a bouncy ball to tell which one she is.
"Commander, what do you want to do with the Rachni queen?" I ask
"I don't know, I don't want to be responsible for genocide if she is the last one. But on the other hand they were extremely hard to fight off before the krogan wiped them out." Jane said pacing
"I may have a suggestion, what if we took her and brought her with us to another realm? That way you wouldn't be wiping them out and we could save a unique race from ending." I say and she looks thoughtful
"You could promise that she will not be any trouble?"
"Yes, we have a special storage bay we can setup for her. Then like I said we can take her with us when we leave this realm."
"Alright, lets do that. Hey where did she go?"
"We beamed her up to the ship commander. This way no one will see her, or know that she exists." I say and she nods still shocked
"You people have beaming technology? Wow, that is so cool. Hey why are we driving everywhere when we could have just beam down?" Ashley asked eagerly causing us to chuckle
"I see someone is a fan of Star Trek." I say and she blushes causing all of us to chuckle.
The bombs was set off in the hot labs destroying the wild Rachni. Then we round up all the scientist and head back to the port. We report that peak 15 is compromised with geth and Rachni clones. Then we board Normandy and fly back to space and dock with Isabella. The commander reports to the council and we do several odd missions for admiral Hackett and we find the salarian for Garrus. We then find the family armor for Wrex and then we get info on the geth for Tali.
While we do all of this we are also hitting Cerberus labs and getting the info for Hackett. When we come across credit accounts for the various labs and scientists? I have Isabella drain them then transfer them to the account for buying supplies for the secondary worlds.
The suit cure was successful and the Levo Dextro shot also worked and Garrus and Tali are enjoying eating various foods that they couldn't before. They ask if we are going to make them available to everyone and I say that I plan to. We dock at the citadel for "resupply" which gives Wrex time to locate female krogan to scan. Once I had them scanned, we take several days to come up with a work around for the genophage. The out come is good they will not be giving birth to any stillborn babies. Instead it limits the number that they can have in a year.
Wrex tries out the cure on the two female krogan we found on the citadel and we will see in a few days if the cure is viable. While we are here Jane gets a couple odd side jobs to investigate. While we have the Normandy docked, we have upgraded the ship. The performance had increased by 100% and that was using the unstable glowing blue stuff! Jane was going to make a personal briefing to Hackett once we leave the citadel and can meet up with the admiral in person.
"Commander? I think it would be a good idea to go see if we can help out Garrus for his mother is sick." I say as we walk around looking at the different stalls of merchandise.
"You think you will be able to help her? I guess you probably could with where you cured Tali of her suit and made it to where they could eat anything. Okay we will head there if we don't get any priority missions before we leave. I always wanted to see Palaven." She said grinning
We left the citadel the next day and we didn't have anything that needed tending to right away. Garrus was surprised when we stopped at his home world. We took Alice down to the space dock and waited for ever to let us thru security.
"So, do you have to go thru this every time you visit home?" I ask Garrus
"Yes, and its annoying but what is taking so long is I have humans with me. Not that is unheard of its just not normal." Garrus said
"I can see why you don't come home very often." I say
"That and I try to avoid my father." Garrus chuckled
"Will it take this long to leave?" he barked out a laugh and shook his head
"No, they are in a hurry to get rid of us and push on to our transport."
I nod and chuckle behind my face mask, we get a lot of odd looks with our iron man suits on. But I refuse to buy what they consider armor. We finally get to leave the space port and take a transport to his parents home. When we get there Garrus is tackled by his sister and that causes us to chuckle. She notices us finally and shows us in to the house, further shock them when our armor completely comes of and disappears.
"I need to scan your mother to see if we can treat her down here on the planet, or if we need to transport her to our med bay." I say to Garrus
"Sure, right this way Alex, how is mom today sis?"
"She is having one of her good days Garrus. Just try not to upset her."
"Hello Mrs. Vakarian I am going to take a quick scan to see if we can help you, okay?"
"Hello son, and if you think you can help by all means go ahead."
I run a scan and compare it to any known illness we have already cured and there are three that are similar we will just have to adjust for turian physiology. But we will need to beam her up to the ship.
"Well, I think we can help but we will need to get you up to our ship, who would you like to come with us?"
"Just my two children, what is your name young man?" she asked me
"My apologies my name is Alex are you ready?" she nodded, and we beam up to our ship they are all stunned silent.
"So, that was your beaming technology you mentioned? Impressive I didn't notice anything other than the difference in temperature."
"Yes, if we could get by with it, we would skip the dropping us off in a tank for ground missions. Okay lay back on this bed and we will begin, what would you like me to call you?" I ask Garrus mother
"Just call me mother if you don't mind, maybe it won't set me off."
I knock her out and our medical team begins the treatment which shouldn't take more than a couple of hours. We wait around and talk about the things to come, I mention we setup the mini relay near a star so when the geth try to access it they will be pulled into the star. Jane is quiet then starts laughing and says that is funny. We took out the back door and now we just need to hunt down the geth and the reaper.
It's a few hours when "mother" wakes up and is like a young turian, well she is we reversed her aging back to 18! Garrus and his mother hug and he ask if she could have the shot to eat what ever she wanted. I said sure thing and she was eager to try levo food. After we all eat, we beam down and scare Garrus' father when we all appear from out of nowhere. I give Mr. Vakarian the two shots and we watch as he gets younger. Then Mrs. Vakarian said he could now eat both dextro and levo foods and not get sick.
We talk after that and tell him of the things that are about to happen, he then offers to contact the Primarch for he is a friend of his. He also gets in touch with a couple other admirals. We wait for two days till they all show up in secret and we go over everything that will happen soon. We even show them clips from the game. When we got to the part where Palaven burning it gets them ready to assist in any way they can.
"I will make the same offer I will give to the alliance. We will upgrade your fleet to help you survive any direct attacks from the reapers. We will also be looking at what your scientists had come up with weapons that could be better than what you are using. We have already upgraded the Normandy and increased performance by 100%. We could probably squeeze more out of it, but we don't want to push our luck."
"Can we see the newly upgraded Normandy? Since it was a joint venture between the alliance and the turian military."
"That will be up to commander Shepard." I look her way and she nods.
"I don't see why it wouldn't hurt. This way they can see what direction their ships could go." They all nod and we have Normandy ready for a trial run and they are impressed so much that they will send ships to our shipyards as they finish upgrading to keep them moving.
"We estimate with your fleet we could have them all upgraded within two months. We just ask that your crew not interfere with the upgrade as it is happening." They all nod and they want to watch the first six ships start their upgrade so we follow the ships that will be upgraded so they can witness what we can do.
They all are impressed with how fast our nanites and drones can go thru each ship inside and out upgrading as they go. When the first cruiser is finished, they run it through trials and the captain was stunned! That their ship that was ready for retirement could out pace any other ship in the fleet. The Primarch was impressed as was the admirals and general that they couldn't wait to see what the other ships would do in performance.
We dropped the Primarch off and his group with the first ships to finish and we docked with Isabella then went on our way. The Vakarian family moved aboard to be with Garrus and to see just what our ship is like. Joker wasn't letting anyone fly either ship, now that he had the chance to join us. He said he didn't care about staying if he could talk his father and sister into coming along. The next stop was Hackett and we was meeting him away from the fleet.
