Chapter 3: Taking Stock
Quiver and Equalibrium stared at her prized weapon called Thorn. "Is there any way to refit it with these mass effect ammunition?" Quiver asked nervously. Equalibrium hummed as he scanned the ammunition and Thorn before putting a diagram up with of the Thorn and it's firing chamber and magazine both being highlighted red while the rest was blue.
"From the looks of things i'm afraid not. I'm quite amazed with what the civilizations of this universe have achieved without the Traveler's guidance." Equalibrium answered as he ran every schematic he had and was able to go through thanks to Shepard giving him and Quiver access to her omnitool temporarily to look at weapons and armor and their schematics. "Our best bet is just using this universe weapons and ammo. As it stands your armor is quite lacking in strength compared to a titan let alone this worlds form of armor strength." Equalibrium summarized before turning the diagram off and looking at his partner who looked put out.
"We really don't have resources let alone money to get new armor and weapons and I rather not be a crutch for Shepard. Also I don't want to give up my weapons and armor as they might as well be a part of me with how long i've used them." Quiver said as she put her Thorn in its holster on her right leg before locking it in place so that no one but her could unlock it and use it. Just because it wasn't as strong as this universe weapons didn't mean it wasn't deadly still.
Equalibrium hummed in agreement. "Well we still have some ammo in my memory cache along with other things i'd imagine if we get the right materials and schematics I can make a machine that will fabricate new armor, weapons and ammunition though you will have to get rid of all your other weapons and armor you've collected over the years you've been alive." Equalibrium said gently as he knew how much his partner had treasured the little things in life in order to stay sane. "Go ahead and do it but bring out the Ace of Spades and Deadman's Tale. Keep the schematics for all the weapons, armor and ammunition just in case though." Quiver-09 said as she looked at the workbench watching as Equalibrium transmatted her other two favorite weapons. Ace of Spades the hand cannon that belonged to her mentor Cayde-6 who helped train her as a hunter and who was like a father figure to her, he taught her how stay sane in her new life and to enjoy the little things. She still ached when thinking about him. She hoped that he was in a better place with his son Ace. The Deadman's Tale on the other hand was just a simple old fashioned hunting rifle though it helped her when she needed long range on her side while still being deadly up close and personal. Before putting Ace of Spades in her left leg holster and closing it the same as Thorn and putting the Deadman's Tale on her back behind her cloak. Using her armor magnets to hold the weapon in place until she told it to release.
"Guess we will just have to conserve ammo until then and see if we can't work out a deal with Shepard and Miranda to get new weapons, armor and ammunition." Quiver-09 said to Equalibrium before the elevator dinged behind her letting her know she had guests.
Just as the elevators door opened to release Shepard,
Miranda and Jacob out. Joker notified the entire ship. "Arrived at Omega. Docking now… Try to make this quick Shepard. We are surrounded by pirates with the majority being aliens which I highly doubt they will take kindly to an all human faction like Cerberus being on their station. Try not to piss and kill them off too much Commander. I'd like to not get blown to pieces while twindling my thumbs." Joker said sarcastically. Causing Shepard to let out a laugh. "Missed you too Joker. EDI monitor the radio chatter and pull out if you need to. Hate to lose another Normandy." Shepard ordered before walking over to Quiver who looked like a futuristic cowboy and assassin with her hand cannons, rifle and hood. Her armor was something she was trying to get use to. It looked both futuristic and old at the same time. It clung to her form while only offering protection in vital places. She figured it was more for movement and speed to be able to outrun and hide to avoid detection. "What kind of armor is that? Shepard asked.
"It's from a race called the Fallen or Eliksni as they were previously called. I managed to win them by trial of combat with their rebellious prisoners that were too dangerous to let live." Quiver said as she double checked her armor making sure everything was tight. Before tightening her hands causing metal spikes to pop out of the elbows. "They were quite a unique and resourceful species. Too bad they became scavengers." Quiver answered as she walked next to Shepard to the docking ramp with Miranda and Jacob behind them.
"Are you sure it will be able to protect you adequately?" Shepard asked in concern. Quiver let out a metallic laugh. "Trust me i've been thrown off a ship and lost my powers by a power hungry psychopath and ever other lunatic out there if I can't handle a bullet going really fast then im not going to be much help Shepard." Quiver answered humerously.
"Just checking. Your part of my crew so i'm going to worry about you on and off missions." Shepard stated calmly and sincerely. Causing a smile to show up on Quiver face that only Equalibrium could see. "I appreciate that Shepard. I'll do my best to not let you down. Where to first?" Quiver asked as the ramp lowered on to the Omega dock they were next to.
"We have three candidates to join the crew. A mercenary, a doctor and a vilgilante that the Illusive Man gave me to recruit here. Shepard answered as they all walked off the ship and towards Omega.
