Chapter 5: Meeting Archangel
Time: 30 minutes after landing
Location: Warehouse bridge.
Quiver hummed as she watched the ignorant and naive rookie mercenaries try to storm the bridge only to get their heads blown off or get picked off one by one when they got to scared to go further after seeing comrades die next to them.
"Archangel is pretty good. Killing the leaders of the rabble and the rest lose their footing so he can pick off at his leisure." Quiver analyzed
Zaeed nodded in agreement before spitting on the ground next to him. "This is pathetic I would have never stood up for this when I was in charge." Zaeed grunted and growled out.
"You'll have to tell me about that once we are done with this mission. Until then though stay here and i'll get across the bridge and let Archangel know I'm on his side so you can get across clean." Quiver ordered getting a confused nod from him.
"How are you…" Zaeed trailed off as Quiver cloaked in front of him and jumped over the barricade and quickly and smoothly made her way across the bridge trying to be silent and not step in blood or trip over bodies. "Show off." Zaeed laughed as he pulled a cigar out and lit it keeping his head down so he didn't get sniped.
Time: 15 minutes later.
Location: Inside Archangel Penthouse
Making her way silently upstairs she peered around the corner watching Archangel snipe rookie mercenaries here and there.
"Archangel." Quiver called out calmly pulling her head back just in time as where her head had been the wall got blown off. "Easy easy… I'm a friend a ally. I'm with Commander Shepard I don't know if you know who that is but she told me she was pretty famous and that you would know who that was." Quiver said as she again peered over the corner her cloak still on.
"Shepard is dead!" Archangel growled out. "Yeah she said you would say that and she told me to tell you that a group known as Cerberus under the control of the Illusive Man had brought her back to life." Quiver said soothingly trying to calm Archangel down.
"Bastards they had no right to bring her back… Spirits Shepard! What did they do to you?" Archangel roared out as he took his anger out on a couple of mercenaries that decided to test their luck since he stopped shooting before dropping his gun to the floor.
Seeing that he had stopped shooting and had dropped his gun and was holding his head she decloaked and walked over to him slowly. "I don't know what your going through but i'm here to help i'm guessing by your reaction that you were close to Shepard? Quiver asked
Nodding his head in exhaustion. "She ugh… was training me how to be a Spectre. How to be a better turian. When she needed me most I let her down." Archangel cried out as he removed his helmet to show a weary looking turian who looked like he had lost everything.
"Hey hey… I don't know how you could have let her down but if you did I'm sure she will forgive you." Quiver tried to comfort Archangel. "Yeah she probably would. Spirits it's been so long that i've had positive thoughts of what she would think of me." Archangel said as he pulled a ration bar and water out and started eating and slowly drinking trying to get his strength back.
Seeing that he was eating and drinking, trying to get his strength back she radioed the others. "Zaeed make your way over the bridge i'll cover you. I got Archangel taking a break. He looks like he hasn't slept and eaten in days." Quiver ordered to Zaeed who grunted in response before dashing over making sure to not be spotted.
"EDI notify Shepard and the others that I'm with Archangel now but we are cutoff by the merc companies and could use some back up ASAP. Have Dr Chakwas on standby and ready just in case things get dicey over here." Quiver ordered to EDI
"Acknowledged Quiver-09 alerting Shepard of your progress will be keeping an eye on your and Zaeeds helmet cameras to let Shepard see what all is going on." EDI said.
"Copy over and out." Quiver stiffly replied.
She hated being watched. Knowing people could see her private moments and her struggles. That's why she went lone wolf more often then not. Hearing Zaeed cursing she guessed he felt the same way.
Having finished his ration bar and water and seeing Quiver talk to someone called EDI. He puzzled why she had 09 at the end of her name. Though he was more confused by the weapons she was using as they looked weird for lack of a better term. Ones he had never seen before. They looked powerful if not deadly and the black with green glowing lights in it gave him the creeps. It felt like an aura of death clung to it. Though he was able to ignore it for the most part when she told EDI to notify Shepard of their progress like Shepard hadn't died and suffocated in space and froze on a planet. It made the situation he was in come back more into focus. Finding new strength in the hope that Shepard was really alive he picked up his sniper rifle and leaned against the wall next to her peering over the cover with his sniper rifle and seeing if there were any fools that wanted to test their luck since everything had gone quiet after Zaeed had crossed.
"Looks like they are wondering what's going on." Quiver called out as she held binoculars to her helmet peering through them. Looking at the enemy warehouse, looking for any sign of activity and not seeing any.
