Chapter 3

Sparatus the Turian council, were walking back and forth in his office. Thinking over on how he would tell the news to his colleagues that were on their way. 3 days ago he had gotten the news that one of the turian´s fleet that were patrolling along the boarders of Attican traverse and the inner council space, had been gone for one month since they had´t reported back. A patrol ship had follow its trace and found that the ships last coordinates were at an uncharted mass relay and that it was activated. Sparatus mind had been wild for the last 3 days, how he would tell this news to his colleagues and as to why the turian fleet had gone through it, they knew as anyone that it was against the galactic law to activate unknow mass relay and in their case they would be court martial for this. As he though about this, the other council walk in.

"Well Sparatus, what was it that you wanted to tell us." Council Tevos said as she and councillor Valern walk in.

"Its something very important and could change how things are in the galaxy. Take a seat, I am going to need a drink for this,,,well I think we all need one for this news. There is some non dextro-amino drinks over their." Sparatus said as he went to get a drink himself.

"I skip on that." Valern said as he sat down, while Tevos took a bottle of asari made wine. "So what´s this shocking news."

"3 days ago I was inform that a turian patrol fleet disappeared in an uncharted part of space between Attican traverse and the inner council space. The cause of their disappearing was that they found an uncharted mass relay and it was activated."

Their was an silent in the room, before Valern got up." I will take that drink anyway." He said.

Tevos finish her glass quickly and then put it down rather hard. "Why did you not tell us about this immediately."

"I was thinking about why the fleet were out their, why they activated the relay. I read the file of general Venus Surdos, his by the book, like most officer. He has no bad records and he don´t do stupid stunt when it comes to engaging pirate activity. Well that part can be scratch now since this happen." Sparatus said, taking a big swig of his drink. "Also I am waiting to see if high command can dig up some kind of information as to why he took his fleet out their so far away from his patrol route was. So far they have not come with anything new."

Their was another silent as all three councillor, were now sitting down and thinking over next course of action. "How long was it before anybody notice that the fleet were gone." Tevos ask.

"About a month pass before high command notice. The patrol ship that found the relay has been station their and has reported no activity beyond it."

"That´s some good news." Valern said.

"Why´s that." Tevos almost spit out in anger.

"Because it means that whoever is on the other side don´t plan or can´t move through the relay. We could send an STG ship through it and collect data about what happen."

"Why would we do that. It probably would just give whatever race is on the other side a better reason to attack us, I say we put a fleet on our side and threat them like the Geth´s, ignore them while there are on their home turf and attack them while they are on our." Sparatus said.

"I agree with what Valern are saying."

"You can´t be serious."

"I am, and its not as a bad idea. STG has the most advance stealth ship there is and could collect a massive amount of data of not just as to what happen to general Surdos´s and his fleet but also about what kill or capture them."

"I tell you Tevos, your species tendency to collect and study new races will be our dome one day."

"You are overreacting Sparatus. I will tell the Salarian Union to send one of our best STG ships and team for this." Valern said.

As he finish, their was an call coming from Sparatus´s desk, he got up and redirected the call to a screen so that all of them could see it. On the screen were a Turian marshal. "Greetings councillor, I have news that councillor Sparatus wanted. I am assuming that you know what I mean. " The marshal said.

"Yes we are aware, please tell us what you know." Tevos said.

"Right, high command has been going over the names of the men the served general Surdos and one stood out. A private had been a bit to chatty with his brother, the private had told his sibling that they had just neutralize a Batarian pirate fleet and had gotten information about this system that general Surdos went to. We contacted the captain of the station that were housing the Baterian pirates and eventually the Batarian captain were willingly to tell us about the information that general Surdos had gotten. The pirates had been given information about an uncharted part of space and they were about head their, when in the last min they were order to back away. By who and why we do not know and he was not willingly to tell us who was in the higher ups. We speculate that general Surdos order his fleet to go through the relay to see if the pirates had been through it already. And that´s all councillor, I hope this was to any help."

"Thank you marshal that will be all." Sparatus said and ended the call. "Well that rules out that Surdos went rouge but nothing else."

"It dose tell us that the Batarian some how knew about this system and maybe that their was something dangerous on the other side."

"That or they got cold feet. So are we really going to send a ship to go through the relay, despite things might get worst."

"Yes, I think we can still get data and know what we are dealing with. The STG will be in and out before this unknow race will know what happen." Valren said.

Yorha BUNKER

Commander White were sitting in her office, going through both reports and the data catch from the Turian ships. For the last month she along with all S-units had been going over the data that were onboard the Turian´s ships. She was fascinated with how much information that their was and not just about the ships and how it function. Their was information regarding the other races that were in the galaxy, the weapons for troopers, technology and something that really catch her mind biotics. This was by far the most interesting and potential dangerous thing against Yorha. Since it seem that only organic beings could us it, it meant that Yorha could not use it in the same manner that they were using the Turian´s weaponry. That meant they would need something that could nullify it if Yorha would ever fight this council and their ground troops. Regarding the weaponry, she was still thinking on what to do with them. The heavy armorer vehicle along with the ships was going to stay and be us that was for sure, but the rifles, pistol, shotguns and sub machine guns was another question. On the one hand they could be fire at an faster rate then what Yorha had and thanks to them shooting such a small calibre at such fast speed it meant that they would not be needed any kind of reloading or recharging, unlike the weapons that Yorha had at the moment. However, all of Yorha´s firearms were energy base, something that the council races lack. That meant that Yorha´s weapon pack more punch and could pass through their shields and armour, the test firing had shown that the railguns and the combat rifle pass through them with ease. Another thing was all the council weapons minus the heavier calibre weapons, were useless against Yorha heavy armour suits. The small calibre could not penetrate the thick steel plates that Yorha combats units were using. But then again the council´s weapons were use by their races and were effective against their own defences, so there´s was that. When it came to the shields that the council were using, the ships once had been strip and place into the BUNKER and the operators were working on trying to blend Yorha and council tech together, same when for the eezo engines which White really wanted to use. They produce fare more power then what Yorha´s were and they use less resource to run.

White decided to leave the question regarding the council weapons for now and instead go over the reports regarding the Turian´s ships. She had order the operator to man the ships along with some pod units and start to strip the ships of as much material they could, but still leaving the ships engine and weapons operational along with some armour. Once they were done they would place the ships behind Pluto and leave some emitters which would aloud them to hack the ships from the BUNKER. So far only 3 out of the 10 ships had been strip mine and place at Pluto. The other thing that White had done were to have all the combat unit back to training with the new weapons and to go over the strategy that the Turian were doing. The G-units were testing the council´s firearms to see what was better, their or the Yorha´s while B and E units were training in close quarter combat against the mechs that Yorha had recovered from the ships. While the mechs could only give minimal effect when it came to CQC, it was good training to see how fast the B and E units could dodge around the bullets, so far it seem that they could dodge with minimal damage against 10 mechs that were using assault rifle and sub machine guns. While against 20 and upwards, force the B and E units to use cover more often or use their pods to fire back.

Earth

A2 were looking over the Yorha and android resistance camp, for the last month things had been changing. No longer were the androids working on fixing the ground or building house and buildings, rather they were training for combat and they had new weapons. Weapons that seem much weaker then what Yorha were already using. This had A2 wondering what was going on, why did it look like Yorha were preparing for war again. Thy had won against the alien machine, it had been peace for 5 years. This was all to much for her to think on right now so she left her spot at the top of a building and headed back to the woods.

(A/N I am very happy that so many of you like this story so far. A few things that I want to clear up, English is my second language and I have some semblance of dyslexia. So bare that in mind, also my spell checking program has made some of the spelling in the chapter to be other then what I meant and fanfic seem to have removed some parts of the words I us, I might go back and fix them when I have time. Anyway hope you like this chapter, I do have plan on how things will move forward in the story regarding Yorha and the Council along with the Geth´s, still unsure if I should do this a reaper story or not.)
