No One's P.O.V

Lucifer sat on his bed while staring at his holo-gauntlet. On the gauntlet were images of Earth, an Earth Lucifer never dreamed of seeing.

After seeing this discovery Lucifer showed this to the other leaders of the Revelation and they were all shocked to say the least. The only one who had any explanation was Onyx.

Apparently the wormhole the Revelation flew through brought them to another dimension. Another universe so similar to your with only a few changes, but to Lucifer this was a big change.

Earth never went to war and blew itself up in 2077, countries didn't fight over resources. Instead this Earth not only united all the countries under one government, the Alliance Military. This Earth gathered their resources and built ships to explore space in 2157 and it wasn't long before humanity gained an embassy on the Council.

Things weren't perfect for humanity, many of the alien races fear how fast this humanity is moving as a whole and their is plenty of prejudice. But in the end, this humanity was a hell of a lot betters then the wasteland's.

A small part of Lucifer was jealous of this Earth, but a larger part of him was angry, angry that Vault Tech, the Enclave, America, China, or whoever from a 200 years ago didn't stop the Great War from happening. If those people from 200 years ago could see what humanity as a whole could of had and accomplished, maybe Lucifer's world wouldn't have ended. Maybe he would of had a normal life, have met his mother, have kept his father, wouldn't have had to do the things he did.

A sudden knock at the door brought Lucifer's eyes away from his Omni-Tool as his door opened. Floating in was a Mr. Handy with a shiny white metal coating, on top of it's head was a black bowler hat.

"Sir, Mr. Bigsley has requested to see you. From what he told me you apparently have a meeting in 20 minutes." Wadsworth said with a British ascent.

Lucifer gained a confused look on his face. "What, but I told Bigsley to set a meeting in 3 days?" The LW said in confusion.

"Sir, it has been 3 days." Wadsworth said in a cheerful tone.

That made Lucifer pause before he rubbed his head. He remembered falling asleep after feeling tired before getting up and reading more about Earth for who knows how long.

Lucifer sighed and rubbed his head. "Let me take a quick shower, then I'll make my way down." He said before getting up from his bed.

"I'll inform Mr. Bigsley right away." Wadsworth said before flying away.

Lucifer sighed as he walked to his personal shower, one of the perks of being captain of your own ship.

As Lucifer felt the warm water wash over his body he started to think about the meeting he was about to attend. Lucifer showed all his top people how to use the Omni-Tool and how to access the extranet, so he gave them all three days to gather any useful information that might be needed to know in this new world. At the same time Lucifer's crew was striping the Batarian's ship bare for anything useful, weapons, equipment, drop-ships, armor, Omni-Tools, power, food, anything at all that couldn't be ripped from the walls. The saved slaves were all moved to the extra rooms on the ship and would stay their for the time being until they found a place to take the Revelation. Lucifer gave them limited access to places such as the library, cafeteria, game room, boxing ring, gym, and the gun range to blow off some steam or to keep themselves busy.

The only information Lucifer's has been looking into was Earth's history and seeing how different it was compared to the wastelands history by comparison. Lucifer didn't know what the others might be looking for, but he could guess it was something related to their fields.

Turning off the water Lucifer grabbed his towel and dried himself off before grabbing his cloths. The LW wore a leather jacket with the number 101 on his back and a simple pair of jeans. Grabbing his Lucky Shades Lucifer made his way to the conference room to have his meeting.

After walking down the corridor Lucifer entered the council room to see Elliot, Red, Reilly, Bigsley, and Onyx. Everyone turned to Lucifer with weary smiles. All were sitting around a metal table that hade a projection screen at the far end.

"You look like crap." Reilly said, getting a snort form the LW.

"I've been reading through this Earth's history for the last 3 days. Their was a lot." He said as he sat at the head of the table. "So, anyone find anything interesting?"

Elliot was the first to raise his hand while clearing his throat. "I like to discuss a few things that seem very important."

Lucifer nodded and leaned back in his chair. "The stage is your Elliot, tell us what you found."

Elliot nodded and brought up his Omni-Tool. "I found two thing that seem very important to know, the Citadel Council and Races of this universe." He said as he brought up an image of a giant structure floating in space on the main monitor. "This is called the Citadel, a giant city in space where the Council conducts it's work. The Council is made up of three of the most influential races in the galaxy, though other races do have their own embassy in the Citadel to conduct business. The Council's basic job is to make sure trade, territory, technology, and peace is kept in check between all the races in the galaxy."

"And just how many races are in this galaxy?" Bigsley asked as he leaned forward with interest.

Elliot looked up in though for a moment before he gave an answer. "I believe their is about 12 races exploring the galaxy, including humans, but only 8 joined the Citadel Races."

"A race can just not join these guys?" Reilly asked while folding her arm. "I thought they would of tried to force everyone to join?"

"Every race has the option to join but can refuse or join later. However a race can be kicked out of the Citadel Council if their kind has committed crimes against the Council's law. This doesn't stop individuals from going to the Citadel, but it dose make it difficult for races as a whole to make trades or get help."

"What kind of races are a part of the Citadel?" Red asked with interest, finding the whole thing exiting.

Elliot looked over his Omni-Tool before a blue skinned woman appeared on the main monitor. "These are the Asari, one of the most influential races in the whole galaxy and the first race to discover the Citadel. Two very interesting things I found about them was their life span and gender."

"What's so interesting about those things?" Reilly asked while looking the blue skinned woman up and down. "Damn she's got a nice rack."

"For their life span, an Asari can live up to 1000 years."

Everyone stared at Elliot with wide eyes and hung jaws.

"1000... years." Lucifer said as he picked his jaw up. "Shit, and this is just the first race."

Elliot just snorted. "If you think that's shocking, just hear this. Their a mono-gender race."

Both Lucifer and Bigsley's eyebrows shot up. "Really, now that is interesting." The Scribe said while rubbing his chin.

Reilly raised her hand with a confused look on her face. "Excuse me, mercenary grunt here. Can someone explain to me what mono-gender means?"

Lucifer looked at her with a small snort. "It means they only have one gender." He said making Red and Reilly's eyes widen. "And by the look's of their bodies, their an all female race." He said before groaning. "Someone better put a leash on Butch, if he finds out about a race of hot blue women he'll get himself shot in seconds." He said getting a few laughs from the others.

"But if their all female, how do they reproduce?" Red asked in a confused voice.

"Apparently when an Asari mates they can take the genes of their partner and use that to impregnate themselves, meaning they can reproduce with both male and female. This allows them to mate with any species in the galaxy, though the child will always be an Asari, just with a few traits from the 'father'."

Their was a silence in the room as everyone absorbed what Elliot said.

"Shit. Lucifer's right, if this is just the first race what else is their." Reilly groaned. "What's next?"

Elliot brought up a lizard base people with orange skin, big black eyes, and antenna on their heads. "These are the Salarians, the second race to join the Citadel Council. Their an amphibian base race that seemed to have evolved from lizards. There life spans are surprisingly short, the average Salarian only living about 40 years because of a very high metabolism, if their lucky. But thanks to this they are fast in thinking, talking, and moving. On average nearly every Salarian is a genius that could rival a scribe easily." Elliot then turned to Bigsley with a sheepish grin. "No offence."

Bigsley waved Elliot down. "I know I'm not the smartest man in the world. So continue."

An image of a white skinned race with almost armor like skin appeared on the monitor. "The Turians, the third race to join the Citadel Council. They are a militaristic and disciplined race, practically every Turian has to be apart of the military in some way. This gives them one of the biggest fleets in the galaxy and making the bulk of the Citadel fleet. Their life span is very similar to humans and intelligence wise they are the same as well. One major difference is they have an exoskeleton, it's harden then human skin but it's not bullet proof."

"Kind of remind me of an Albino Deathclaw I killed a few years back. Tough son of a bitch." Reilly snorted.

Elliot continued with his presentation and brought up the three races. "These are the three races that are members of the Council, making the big decisions of the galaxy."

Lucifer looked the three aliens over before turning to Elliot again. "You mentioned their were other races that had embassies on the Citadel."

Elliot nodded and brought up an image of what can be described as a bowling ball on two arms and stubby legs. "These are the Volus. Their a race of aliens that live on a pressurized world with a different atmosphere, resulting in them having to wear these pressurized suits. Physically the average Volus is no threat, fanatically, that's a different story all together. Volus are known to be very good traders and handlers with money, they were also the race to come up with the credit system and galactic economy."

"They were able to come up with a currency system that works for 12 different races?" Lucifer asked while rubbing his chin. "That's damn impressive, why weren't they given a spot on the Council?"

Elliot looked to Lucifer before he spoke. "Because the Volus is known as a Client Race. The Turians protect the Volus in military matters and the Volus handles the Turian's money and trading. In order to join the Council a race must be willing to offer military support, resources, and land in case of an emergency. The Volus are pacifist to a default, they hate any type of fighting and would rather avoid it at all cost."

"Sounds to me this Council is only interested in power." Onyx said while putting rubbing his chin. "It seems like the Council will only allow a race to join them if they have enough ships and soldiers. Resources and territory only seem a secondary requirement."

"So nothings really change. The biggest guns calls the biggest shots." Reilly snorted before she waved to Elliot. "What's the next race?"

Elliot tapped on his Omni-Tool before an image of a huge alien on four legs. "The Elcor. A race that come from a planet with extremely high gravity, resulting in them moving extremely slow, but this also made them evolve incredibly strong with thick, tough skin. They are also a race that can live for a very long time when compared to humans, but not as long as Asari, about 400 years to be exact."

"Anything significant on the Elcor?" Bigsley asked while looking at the massive aliens.

Elliot just shrugged. "Nothing really interesting other then them slow but strong. Elcor are known to be bland when it comes to talking and can't show facial expression, so they say what their feeling."

"Still, this feels like the most normal alien race yet. Nothing extraordinary, just normal." Red said while shifting in her seat.

Elliot tapped is Omni-tool and an image of a pink blob appeared on the screen. "These are known as the Hanar, their known for being extremely polite and strong beliefs on religion."

"They look like a Centers tongues." Lucifer grimaced as he looked at the pink aliens.

"They actually look similar to some of the food we had back on my planet." Onyx admitted as he tilted his head at the alien.

Elliot snorted as he pointed to the picture. "We think they may have evolved from a Jellyfish like creature on their planet."

Lucifer tilted his head at that. "I... remember reading about jellyfish when I was living in 101. Their boneless pink fish that can shock people."

"Really, weird." Reilly said while looking the Hanar over.

"The Hanar can't stand on their own, so they use a device that allows them to travel on land since their home-world is almost complete water, they even use devices to talk." Elliot said before giving a shrug. "Other then that nothing really significant. The Hanar are genderless and can make a toxin from their skin, but other then that combat wise their not a serious threat."

"I'm feeling theirs a but somewhere?" Red asked, getting a nod from Elliot.

"The but is the Drell." An image of a green man that looked a little too close to Mirelurk King. "The Drell once lived on a planet not far from the Hanar, but do to overpopulation and short resources their world was quickly dying." Elliot said with a sigh. "The Hanar was able to save several hundred thousands from their home-world before moving them onto theirs."

All the humans in the room sat in silence as they felt sympathy for the Drell race.

"Well, at least they got help." Lucifer said with a sigh. "Anything more you can tell us?"

"The Drell have a lifespan of 85 galactic years. I don't know how much that is in Earth years, but it's pretty close I think. Drell also posses the ability to relive any moment in their lives so vividly they might think it's real." Elliot said as he tapped on his Omni-Tool. "The Drell became a client race to the Hanar after they saved them from their home planet, helping them in ways the Hanar couldn't do by themselves."

"How is the relationship between the two races?" Bigsley asked while leaning forward.

"Other races might say the Drell are second class citizens to the Hanar, but that doesn't seem to be the case. The Drell have completely integrated in Hanar society and have a very good relationship." Elliot said as he looked to the Omni-Tool. "And the most recent race to join the Citadel races... Humanity."

Lucifer raised his hand at Elliot. "You can skip this one for now, I'll explain humanity later."

Elliot nodded and looked to his Omni-Tool. "Well that's all the Citadel races."

"But you mentioned that not all races in the galaxy were apart of the Citadel?" Onyx asked getting a nod from Elliot.

"Their are about 4 races that aren't apart of the Citadel Races." An image of a Batarian appeared on screen. "You already know the Batarians. They used to have an embassy on the Citadel, but after Humans started settling in a region the Batarians were actively settling they tried to have Humans pull away. When the Council refused to do anything the Batarians pulled away from the embassy and have isolated themselves in their own system."

"Seems like a stupid move to pull out of the Council just because they didn't get what they want." Reilly frowned while folding her arms. "It's space, their has to be planets worth something to them."

"Oh, it gets better. Soon after the Batarians pulled from the embassy, well armed pirates attacked the human colony and took a lot of people as slaves." Elliot said with a scowl. "Everyone knows the Batarian government were funding these pirates, but the Council had no proof, so the Alliance took back their own people and took down the pirates themselves." He said making everyone scowl. "The Batarians have high value for social casting, and look down on anyone who goes beyond their place. This doesn't work for them since they believe anyone with fewer then 4 eyes is considered stupid." Elliot's face the became grim. "The biggest thing I found was that slavery is a big part of their culture."

"...How big are we talking about?" Lucifer asked in a low tone.

Elliot looked uncomfortable at the tone in Lucifer's voice before he spoke. "Nearly every Batarian deals in slavery in some way, they even enslave their own people. When the Batarian heard the Council put a band on slavery the Batarian's clamed it to be discrepancy."

"You got to be fucking kidding me." Reilly groaned while rubbing her face. "An entire race of slavers. Fucking great."

Elliot nodded his head. "The Batarian government climes not to deal with Rogue Slave rings, but when these Slavers have military grade weapons, armor, and always seem to have a buyer for slaves, it tends to add up."

"How are they able to keep so many slaves in check?" Bigsley asked with a grim look on his face. "With so many slaves they must have some way to keep them all in line."

Lucifer agreed with Bigsley. Every slaver the LW had met had something over the slaves to make them not fight back. For Paradise Falls, they had bomb collars and weren't afraid to kill any slaves, be it for shits and giggles or to prove a point. For the Pitt, their was the deadly disease that could turn a man as feral as a ghoul. So how did the Batarians control their slaves.

Elliot sighed as pointed to the back of his neck. "They've made control implants that is put in the base of the skull of their slaves. The implants give lethal and painful shocks, keeping the slaves in line."

Their was a grim silence in the air as everyone stood quiet.

Lucifer turned to Bigsley with a serious look on his face. "If we ever find any of these implants, I need you to make a device that can jam them, make them useless."

"I'll get right on it." Bigsley said with a determined look on his face.

Elliot sighed and started tapping on his Omni tool. "Moving from a less depressing topic." An image of a an alien in body suits and helmets appeared on the screen. "The Quarians, known for their skills in ships and technology."

"I've seen a few on the ships." Red said as she looked the alien over. "I tried to give them a check-up, but they seemed very defensive."

Elliot nodded to that. "The reason is their suits. The Quarians were driven off their home planet when a race of machines they created called the Geth took over their world. This forced them to live in space as nomads for years, and living in such a controlled environment has caused their immune system to become very weak. Their suits can protect their immune system, but if it's ripped they risk dying. They used to have an embassy in the Citadel, but after they created the Geth the Council closed their embassy and left them to defend themselves three hundred years ago."

"They lose their home and the Council gives up on them?" Reilly said in disbelief. "The Batarians are running slave operations and the Council just lets them be despite them targeting their people, yet these guys lose their home and they kick them out of the Citadel and refuse to help them? I feel like this Council doesn't want to do anything."

"Well when they made the Geth they made a form of intelligent AI, which is illegal in the galaxy." Elliot explained. "Theirs a common fear that an AI will seek to destroy organic as some logical rout."

"Still, the sins of the father and mother do not become the sins of the child." Lucifer said strongly before he sighed. "What's next?"

An image of a large reptile like alien appeared on the screen. "The Krogan, fought in a war a long time ago with a race call the Rechni after being 'Uplifted' by the Salarians and are known to be one of the best species to fight in hand to hand. They have thick hides, strong muscles, multiple organs, redundant nerves system, can survive extreme heat, cold, radiation, and have a regenerating system. Some Krogan can live up to 1000 years like the Asari but their have been some indications that Krogan could live even longer."

"Damn, reminds me a lot of an Overlord." Lucifer grimaced as he remember facing some of the toughest super mutants in the past.

"At least an Overlord couldn't regenerate, but these Krogan seem to." Bigsley said with a sigh. "Hopefully we won't have to face them."

Elliot shrugged at the Scribe. "The Krogan are few, but many are mercenaries. A long time ago their was a rebellion of the Krogan as they tried to expand farther and take planets that weren't theirs. Their was a long war and because Krogan could breed so fast in such a short amount of time, they were quickly winning thanks to their large numbers. So in order to end the war, the Council made the Genophage, a biological weapon that caused a genetic mutation, which caused the Krogan to reproduce at a much slower pace." He said making nearly everyone in the rooms jaws drop.

"They... they neutered an entire race?" Bigsley asked in shock.

Elliot nodded his head. "One of the biggest advantages the Krogan had was numbers. One female could have around 1000 eggs a year. The Genophage was used to stop their numbers and calm the Krogan down."

"But have they done anything about this?" Lucifer asked while narrowing his eyes. "The Krogan have had the Genophage for who knows how long, shouldn't the Council have tried some way to help them grow since then. They were the ones to bring them into space before their time."

Elliot just shook his head. "Nope, after the Genophage the Council stopped helping the Krogan in any way. Though to be fair, the Krogan haven't done anything to improve their race ever since. Krogan nowadays are mostly mercenaries for hire since nearly all Krogan are born warriors." Elliot said before looking to his Omni-Tool. "Only one race that's worth mentioning left, if you can call them one."

"Finally, I was getting tired of hearing all this grim alien life." Reilly sighed.

An image of a pale skinned alien with red eyes and sharp teeth. "The Vorcha. A short live alien race, only living about 20 years."

"I've meet people that were never lucky enough to live past 18." Bigsley said with a snort though their was an aged look on his face.

"Anyway," Elliot continued. "The Vorcha live on an extremely overpopulated but small planet that's in a constant war for recourses, land, or just because they like fighting. They have a unique biology that allows them to adapt to any environment over time, such as growing thicker skin in the heat or stronger muscles for higher gravity. But what's really surprising is the fact they could actually regrow an entire limb in a few months and are practically immune to all disease."

"Amazing." Red said slowly as she heard how the Vorcha's biology worked. "They must have a lot of non-differentiated cells, it's not that different from certain worms back on Earth."

"It dose sound useful, but theirs a downside to this." Elliot said as he showed a few images of Vorcha fighting. "Because the Vorcha can adapt to any environment in a matter of weeks it caused them to stop evolving as a whole race. Their DNA has remained unchanged for millions of years. They are savage to a fault and can barley speak their own language."

"If that's the case, how did they developed the knowledge of space travel if they stopped evolving for millions of years?" Onyx asked while rubbing his chin.

"Most Vorcha stow away on ships that were visiting their planet, some mercenary groups even recruit Vorcha as cannon fodder. Their naturally violent and can't do much on their own or even in groups." Elliot said as he brought up an image of Asari working with some Vorcha. "However, I found out that some Asari took in some Vorcha orphans and taught them to become non-violent. But because of their short lifespans not many people like putting in the effort to train and educate the Vorcha." Elliot gave a sigh as he sat back down. "And that's it. Every notable spices in space."

Lucifer nodded to his friend with a smile. "Nice job man." He said getting a sheepish smile from the soldier. "So, anyone have anything else they feel they need to bring up in this crazy new universe?"

Red raised her hand and stood up. "I got a few things I think I should mention." She said, getting a nod from Lucifer. "One thing I kept running into was something called Medi-Gel, it's a lot like Stimpacks and our Biogel in a lot of ways but it is different. It seems all races can use Medi-Gel and dose not need to be injected, but just placed on the wound. However our Stimpacks are better at healing broken bones and even organs in an emergency situation. Now the thing about Medi-Gel is that it technically falls under illegal because of Genetic Modification laws."

"Their are laws of Genetic Modification?" Bigsley asked while tilting his head. "Hopefully they don't do anything against Fawkes." He said, getting a worried look from Lucifer.

"Yeah, from what I read the Council doesn't want any race to try and create a 'Super Race' that will end up killing their own kind or seriously messing with their genes." Red said with a shrug. "Medi-Gel technically falls under this but since it's so useful and can be only used to heal the Council has allowed it. Medicine as a whole is much more advance then ours, they have things that can seriously help people that would seem impossible back in the wastelands. I've been downloading as much information on medicine and I plan to show it to our doctors, hopefully it will help us later."

Lucifer nodded to Red. "If you think this will help then do what you think is best. I put you in charge of the doctors for a reason." He said, getting a smile out of Red. "Anything else worth mentioning."

Red nodded to the captain. "One very interesting thing I found was something called Biotics. From what I read, Biotics is an ability all life forms can gain after being exposed to element zero or eezo as an infant. Basically what a Biotic can do is lift up objects, create force-fields, or even tear people apart."

"So it's like telekinesis?" Bigsley asked while rising an eyebrow.

"I think so. Asari are naturally born with this ability and are the most skilled commonly, but other races have gained this ability. I found this out when I was looking up medicine and thought I should mention it." Red said as she sat back down.

"Well I think it's good to know that we might face telekinetics later on." Lucifer sighed. "What's next in this crazy meeting?"

Surprisingly both Bigsley and Onyx stood up at the same time. "While we were researching important information we came across something very significant about space travel."

"You see, the way we're able to use space travel on the Revelation is by a combination of gravity control and power cells." Onyx explained. "With Gravity control we're able use the ships weight to help stop, propel, and travel with. Our Power Cells are used to power the engines strong enough to reach Faster then Light travel, or FTL."

"But the way ships travel in this universe is different." Bigsley brought up an image of a blue glowing rock. "Red already mentioned this, it's Element Zero, or Eezo. Another thing is something called a Mass Relays."

"So what, it can also power ships or something?" Reilly asked while looking at the glowing rock.

"That and more." Bigsley said in an exited tone. "Element Zero is a completely new element found only in this universe. When Eezo is exposed to an electric current it releases dark energy which is then manipulated into a mass effect field. Now a mass effect field is basically able to increase or decrease the mass of an object, in this case a ship. Increasing mass can be used to create artificial gravity, lowing it can allow faster FTL travel while barley feeling a thing."

Lucifer raised an eyebrow before looking to Onyx. "Is it possible to use this Eezo for our ship?"

Onyx nodded his head to Lucifer. "I thought the same thing when I first read this. It would take some time and some ship planes would be helpful, but I believe in time the Revelation can use Eezo as it's main power source for flying in space. This will allow even more power to be diverted to controls, shielding, and our weapons."

"And what about these Mass Relays you mentioned?" Red asked.

"Apparently these Mass Relays can be used by any ship to shoot them farther and faster in the galaxy then their engines can take them. As long as the ship uses Element Zero as it's fuel source." Bigsley explained. "Even with FTL travel it would take months or years for one ship to travel to different systems. With the Mass Relays the travel time is cut into hours."

Lucifer grinned and nodded to the Zeta Being and Scribe. "Once things settled down I'll look into getting you what you need so our ship can use these Mass Relays." Lucifer then turned to Reilly. "What do you have Ranger?"

"Weapons and Armor, seeing just how out gunned we are." Reilly said as she stood up.

"Finally, something fun." Lucifer said with a grin.

Reilly snorted as she used her Omni-Tool to bring up weapons. "Weapons in this world are a lot different then ours. I don't understand the exact science behind it, but nearly every gun has unlimited ammo."

"Unlimited ammo?" Lucifer asked in a confused voice, hoping Reilly had more.

"Well practically unlimited. See nearly every weapon uses these mass effect field things to throw miniature slugs at high speeds, basically becoming a bullet. The bullet comes from a dense metal cube inside the gun that is shaved to make shards for the ammunition, about the size of a grain of sand. Technically the gun practically has unlimited ammunition since one of these cubes can make thousands of rounds and you never have to reload. The only problem is overheating, use a gun too long and it will over heat, forcing you to wait until it cools down."

"How is weapon damage compared to our weapons?" Bigsley asked while rubbing his chin.

"Well aim an assault rifle or one of these alien guns at anyone's head and it's going to go splat either way... except for Lucifer of course." She said, making the LW grin. "What makes a real difference is the armor and Kinetic Barriers. Armor in this universe is broken up into three classes, Light, Medium, and Heavy, Light is good for mobility but can't take heavy shots, Heavy is good for taking damage but slow, and Medium is a little of both. It's not all that different from our armor, just more high tech with Medi-Gel dispensers and enemy tracking. What really makes the difference is the Kinetic Barriers."

"Is their Kinetic Barriers anything like ours?" Lucifer asked.

"As far as I can tell, yes. Hit earthier with enough damage and their bound to fall or a few bullets will push through." Reilly explained. "But this universes guns hit harder then ours, so they can take down the barriers faster."

"Great, that means we need all new weapons." Lucifer sighed. "Wonder if we can get anything if we sell our old ones. Or maybe the Batarian's had enough for our crew."

"I don't think we need to sell everything." Reilly said as she brought up images of some of the crews guns. "Lower caliber guns will be useless like 9mm and 10mm, but higher caliber guns will still be useful, such as sniper rifles and Miniguns. But the real useful weapons are the energy weapons."

"Our energy weapons, what about them?" Bigsley asked in a confused tone.

"Apparently energy weapons aren't as common in this universe as in ours. They do have their own laser and plasma weapons, but not as effective as ours. The heat from a plasma and laser shot should be able to get through Kenetic Barriers. That's what makes our Kinetic Barriers different, ours can block off most of the extreme heat from energy weapons."

"But I saw RL shoot the Batarian Captain with his plasma blaster, the guy took several shots and didn't stop, same with my Gauss Rifle." Lucifer said with a raised brow.

"But he did take damage." Red said, grabbing everyone's attention. "When we were taking his weapons and armor off we found his sides and chest to be severely burned. Reilly's right, energy weapons can push through the Kinetic Barriers, such as laser, plasma, or even your Gauss Rifle, or at least the heat. It's most likely his armor was healing the damage and helping with the pain, allowing him to 'shrug' it off. He was the captain of the slavers, I wouldn't be surprised if he had better armor, shield, pain killers, and even Medi-Gel in his armor."

"So we're not completely defenseless, that's good." Lucifer sighed as he stood up as Reilly sat down. "Well, guess it's my turn." Lucifer brought up images of this universes Earth, which was filled with life, technology, and was not in ruin.

"It almost seems like a dream." Bigsley said as he and everyone else stared at the image.

"Well this is a dream I don't want to wake up from." Elliot sighed in a wishful voice.

Lucifer nodded before he started to speak. "We've had a long meeting so I'll try to make this short. After WW2 it wasn't long before technology took a leap forward and stopped using Vacuum tubs. Instead they used chips and such that could not only do more, they wasted less resource. Another thing that was different was the fact that resources weren't as scarce as in our world, so this Earth didn't relay on nuclear energy as much. Their was no Great War with China so weapon production wasn't as pushed as before. Instead Earth's countries came together before pushing for space travel, hoping to find something on the other worlds."

"Oh they found something, a shit load of aliens." Reilly joked.

"She's not exactly wrong." Lucifer said, getting a surprised look from everyone. "Soon after humanity improved their space travel they landed on Mars and found the remains of an ancient alien civilization."

"Well that must have been a blow to your ego." Bigsley said with a snort. "Look's like you can no longer claim to be the first man on Mars anymore."

"Trust me, I felt the blow right in the nards. I can't use the 'First man on Mars' pick up line in this universe." Lucifer said getting a small laugh from everyone. "Anyway, with the technology they found on Mars it was able to jump their technology about 200 years, giving them FTL travel for their ships, and it wasn't long before they found a Mass Relay just outside their solar system in 2157. That's when things turned down hill."

"What happened?" Elliot asked in a worried voice.

"Apparently one of Council laws is that it's illegal to mess with a Mass Relay. When the Turians saw some humans messing a dormant Mass Relay, they opened fired."

"Wait, the Turians attacked a race that had no idea what their laws were?" Bigsley asked with a shocked expression.

"I remember reading that Turians fallow their laws to the letter, but I didn't think they would inforce them like this." Elliot said, also shocked. "How bad did things go?"

"It started what was known as The First Contact War." Lucifer said with a sigh. "It was nowhere as bad as the Great War, but it was intense for something that lasted for 3 months before it ended in peace. Most humans blame the Turians for openfiring on a race that had no idea about their laws. The Turians say it was the humans fault for being ignorant of the Council laws." Lucifer said before snorting. "You tell me the whole thing was pointless."

Reilly sighed and slumped into her chair. "Feels more like a display of power. I've seen some gangs do that type of thing, show they have bigger and better guns, only for the smaller gang to fight back." Reilly then let out a small snort. "Your right, it is stupid."

Lucifer nodded before he continued to speak. "The most resent thing that humanity has faced was the Skyllian Blitz. A shit load of pirates, slavers, and Batarian warlords hit a human colony hard. Their was talk and small evidence of Batarians funding the attack but nothing solid to hold the government. Luckily the Alliance ships were able to take out most of the slaver and pirate ships, fuck I read about one soldier holding back the attack damn near singlehandedly before reinforcements came, but some still got to the colonies. There's talk that the Alliance will find the group responsible and take them out, though most think it's nothing but hot air."

"Well hopefully our own people will look out for our own kind. It would be a nice change of pace." Red said with a sigh.

Lucifer sighed as he sat back down. "That's all I got, but their is a lot of things different."

"We'll go over that later." Bigsley said as he leaned forward with a serious look on his face. "We have slightly bigger problem to deal with first." He said as he looked to everyone. "How do we explain this to the crew?"

When Lucifer leaned about the situation they were in he only told the people in the room and Fawkes, everything else he made sure to keep to himself. He even had all the Omni-Tools taken and put away just incase someone figured out how to use the search function. He did have Onyx update the ear pieces so they could understand the aliens speak.

What Lucifer learned was not something just anyone could proses in an instant. Hell, it took nearly a full day just for Lucifer's top people to get what was going on, and that was a bitch of itself. So sooner or later Lucifer was going to have to explain thier situation to everyone in his crew, or their all going to find out the hard way on their own. Hell, a lot of Lucifer's crew were already asking questions.

Lucifer sighed as he sat up a little straighter. "As soon as we take these people we rescued to a safe place I'll announce to the crew what exactly is going on as best I can." He said before he looked to Elliot. "What's the nearest large settlement?"

Elliot tapped on his Omni-Tool and stared to speak. "Their is only one place that may be able to take these people home that's not far. It's called Omega."

An image of a giant space station built into a big meteor was brought on the big screen.

"It's as big as a city." Red said in a shocked tone as she stared at the structure.

"It may be even bigger." Elliot said as he shifted in his seat. "Omega is one of the biggest cities in the Terminuses System. It used to be a mining outpost before everything useful was taken, it was then converted to a city not long after. Now it's mostly a hot spot for gangs, thugs, and illegal activities to take place without the Council interfering."

"Sounds fun." Lucifer said with a grin.

Despite being known as 'The Savior of the Wasteland' Lucifer was by no means a saint, given his name. He drank, had wild crazy sex, killed without mercy or for fun, stolen from people, and had the occasional drug or two. Living in a cushy vault without any freedom will build a lot of rebellion in a teen, but that didn't mean the LW didn't have morals. Lucifer hated slavery, rape, he never killed bystanders or innocents, never stole from the poor or people trying to make a living, and he never harmed a child. Anyone who did do any of this better be prepared to face Lucifer's wrath.

"So how long will it take for us to get to Omega?" Bigsley asked.

"Using our FTL travel it should only take a few hours, two at most." Onyx explained as he looked to Lucifer. "If you can, see if you can find a place where we may be able to gain the necessary parts to covert the Revelation. I don't know if our crystals are worth anything, but from what I heard, it's not hard for you to gain money and supplies." He said, making everyone look to Lucifer while nodding.

"You are strangely lucky at finding things." Reilly said slowly.

"You always do have way too many guns." Red added.

"And he practically found all our crystals on our ship when he was taking it over." Onyx explained. "I am sure money won't be a problem for long."

Lucifer just shrugged at everyone. "What can I say, I always know where to look."

"Yeah, but theirs looking and then theirs taking every damn thing in the room to be sold later." Reilly teased.

"And I was able to make enough caps to find the parts to rebuild a fucking space ship." Lucifer bragged with a big grin on his face.

"He's not wrong." Bigsley admitted, getting a small laugh.

Without warning the door to the and a frantic crew member entered the room. "Boss, we got a problem!" He said in worried tone.

Lucifer instantly stood up with a serious look on his face. "Is it more Batarians?"

The crew member shook his head. "No, it's one of the aliens we took in." He said, surprising everyone. "I don't know the details, but I heard he locked himself in on of the room at the gun range and he has a gun."

"Was anyone hurt?" Reilly asked as she stood up.

"Let's walk and talk." Lucifer said as the three rushed out of the room.

"One of our guys was grazed in the arm, but no deaths." The crew man said as they turned a corner. "From what I was told, the alien started ranting about us and how we were really going to take them to be slaves again. It was on of those big black eye aliens."

"Salarian." Lucifer sighed as he shook his head. "The guy probably became stir-crazy from all the waiting, and add the fact he was a slave a few days ago and you have paranoia." He said while glancing at his crew man. "I'll handle this, I need you to get Butch and tell him to keep everyone away from the gun range.

The man nodded and rushed around the corner while Lucifer and Reilly started to jog.

"How do you want to handle this?" Reilly asked as she glanced at Lucifer.

Lucifer thought for a moment before he answered. "I'll try to talk to him, the last thing I need to do is kill the poor bastard. If I do the other ex-slaves will feel scared and might try to fight back, and I can't tell my guys to not fight back."

"Got it, if the Salarian dies all hell breaks lose." Reilly said with a nod. "I'll try to keep as much people away from you."

Soon the two entered the gun range to see a crowed of Lucifer's crew and the ex-slaves gathered around the back.

"Get back! Back I say!"

"Look man... alien thing!" One of Lucifer's crew members shouted as he glanced into one of the storage room. "I need you to put the gun down and just come out! No one is going to take you anywhe-" The crew member pulled his head back just in time as a bullet whizzed passed him. "Fuck!"

"I'm not going anywhere!" The Salarian yelled as he fired through the open door, hitting nothing but the wall. "You can't take me!"

One of the crew members noticed Lucifer and Reilly, making him sigh in relief. "Thank god your here Boss." He said, grabbing a lot of peoples attention.

"Anyone shot?" Lucifer asked with a concerned look on his face.

"One of the aliens that tried to talk to the crazy fucker was grazed in the leg, seemed they knew each other." The crew member said as he pointed to the side. "One of our doctors is giving him the alien medicine."

Looking to the side Lucifer saw one of his doctors applying Medi-Gel to a Salarian's leg.

Lucifer walked over to the Salarian, grabbing his and the doctors attention. "Captain." The Doctor said with a nod as he stood up. "Glad to see your here. Hopefully you can defuse this situation before it get's out of hand."

The Salarian got up while leaning on his good leg. "Please, you have to calm by brother down!" The Salarian said in a desperate voice. "He doesn't know what he's doing, he's just scared and confused!"

Lucifer raised his hands. "Calm down and take a breath." The Salarian hesitated but did so. "Can you tell me what happened?"

The Salarian took a deep breath before he spoke. "I was taking my brother Got here to help him blow off some steam, he's a really good shot with a pistol when he's calm. But after a while he started to become nerves, I think he was having flashes of the Batarians holding us." The Salarian then let out a sigh. "He then took his gun and started firing, hitting one human in the arm. I tried to calm him down but he shot me in the leg before running into the room."

Lucifer was silent as he listened to the Salarian. From what it sounded like the Salarian was having flashbacks of being captured and couldn't tell what was real and what was fake. The LW had seen it a dozen time in the past with just freed slaves and he had an idea of how to help.

"I'll try to calm your brother down as best I can, but he has a gun so be prepared for anything." Lucifer said in a serious voice. He wasn't going to sugarcoat anything.

The Salarian's face became grim at that. "Just please try to calm him down. He's not in his right mind at the moment."

Lucifer walked back to the room the Salarian was hold up in. He saw Reilly leaning against a wall while looking at the LW. "Got our guys to keep the aliens back, this is all up to you." Reilly then took a step forward and whispered into Lucifer's ear. "I really think you should find a nonlethal way to end this. The other aliens are getting worried and if that Salarian die then it may cause you and this crew some problems."

Lucifer nodded before walking next to the door. "Got, this is Lucifer Morningstar, Captain of the ship." Lucifer said in a calm voice. "You can call me Lucifer."

"H-how do you know my name!" Got yelled as he fired his gun out the room. "Y-y-you won't take me away!"

"All I want to do is get you and everyone here somewhere safe." Lucifer said as he glanced into the room and got a good look at the Salarian.

Got looked tired as he hid behind two large ammo creates. His eyes were wide as a he looked around frantically.

"Then why are we still here!" The Salarian shouted at Lucifer. "It's been three days and we haven't moved! Are you waiting for someone, trying to give us false security!? Tell me, why haven't we moved!?"

Out of the corner of his eye Lucifer saw some of the other aliens talk among themselves at the Salarian's words, giving Lucifer's crew uneasy glances.

Lucifer sighed and took a step into the door way, making Got point his gun at him. "Do you really want to know why we haven't moved?" Lucifer asked in a calm voice.

Got's hands shook as he pointed his gun at Lucifer. "T-tell me!"

Lucifer took a deep breath and looked Got right in the eyes. "Our engines are damaged." The LW said with a straight face.

That got a shocked look to cross Got's face. "W-what?"

Lucifer nodded his head. "Before he ran into the Batarians, my crew and I were in another fight with some other ships. We managed to get away but our engines were damaged in the fight. When the Batarians showed up they only made things worst. So for the past three days my guys have been taking everything useful off the Batarian's ship that will help us fix the engines. Their in working order now but-"

"If their working then why haven't you flown us away!" Got shouted as he pointed the gun at Lucifer's head.

Lucifer didn't flinch and looked Got right in the eyes. "But the FTL system is messed up." Lucifer finished, again getting a shocked look from Got. "We won't be able to use the Mass Relays to get to the Citadel, so I was talking to some of my guys on where we can take you."

As Lucifer spoke he was slowly moving in on Got, trying to get as close as possible.

Got lowed his gun an inch away from Lucifer's head. "W-where are you taking us then if not the Citadel?" He asked in a shaky voice.

Lucifer was now only a few feet away from Got. If the LW tried he might be able to snatch the gun away form the Salarian. "The closet place that might be able to help you is Omega."

The Salarian's eyes widen as he raised the gun at Lucifer's head again. "Omega! That place is filled with criminals! I knew it, you are trying to sell us off!"

Lucifer clicked his teeth, looks like he needed to work a different angel. "Think about it Got, if I wanted to sell you off why would I take the shock collars off!?" Lucifer throw back, making the Salarian pause. "Why would I allow you to use weapons at the gun range!? To explore the ship even!?" When Got didn't say anything Lucifer continued. "I know what it's like to feel like your life isn't your own." He said in a much calmer voice as he took a step forward. "I have seen a lot of slaves and saved as many as I can. I was even a slave once myself."

Lucifer was not ashamed to admit about his time in The Pitt. Most would call him crazy for willingly becoming a slave just to free others, but when an entire slave group had not only guns but over 100 men, even Lucifer Morningstar wasn't edger to face a small army on his own without a very serious reason. By the end he freed the slaves, killed all the slavers, and made his way home knowing he did some good. He also took the slaver's boss's baby daughter back with him, Marie, not wanting earthier side to get their hands on her. Lucifer made sure to hand the girl over to Star Paladin Cross, the same woman who protected him when he was a baby.

Got gained a shocked look on his face as his hands shook. "R-really?"

Lucifer gained a grim smile as he nodded his head. "Yeah, fought my way out with some other slaves. But you never forget the feeling of your life being in someone else's hands." He said while being only one foot away from Got. "Your scared, I get that, that's why I allowed you and the others to roam the ship. But I need you to lower the gun before anyone else get's hurt."

Realization crosses as Got's hands shook hard. "Wh-what have I done, Taz..."

Lucifer put a hand on the gun gently and lowered it. "Your brothers fine, my doctor is healing him outside." He said while looking the Salarian in the eyes. "If you lower the gun-"

*Bang*

Lucifer winced as he snatched the gun out of Got's hands, who fell on his ass.

A look of shock and horror crossed Got's face as he looked at Lucifer. "I-I'm s-s-s-s-s-s-s-so-"

"Quiet." Lucifer said in an annoyed voice as his crew ran into the room with their guns raised, Reilly included. "And you guys calm down, I'm fine."

"Lucifer, you were just shot!" Reilly said as she saw a bullet hole in Lucifer's white shirt as it turned a little red, right where his kidney was.

Lucifer rolled his eyes before looking at his friend. "Reilly, say that again and remember who your talking to." He said with some smugness.

Reilly opened her mouth before she realized what he meant, even the other crew members lowered their guns at that. "...Point taken." She said with a small sigh.

A moment later Got's brother Taz limped into the room with a worry expression on his face. "Got!" He yelled while limping over to his brother, who looked to be in shock. "Got, talk to me!"

Got turned to Taz as tears started to form in his eyes. "I... I'm so sorry brother." Got said with a solemn look as he lightly cried. "I-I did not know what came over me."

Taz gave his brother a soft smile as he brought him into a hug. "I forgive you brother."

Lucifer gave the brothers a small smile as he turned to his crew. "Take them to the doctor after they collected themselves, and have a guard watch them."

"Got it Boss."

Lucifer walked out of the room to see a small crowed of aliens had formed around the room Got was in, seeing if everything was okay.

The LW clapped his hands together, grabbing everyone's attention. "Okay everyone, after this incident the gun range is closed for the time being." Lucifer was glad to see no one protested. "Also I'm happy to inform you that my engineers will be done fixing the main engines in a few hours."

"So will you be able to take us to the Citadel?" An Asari asked in a slightly hopeful voice.

Lucifer gave her a sad smile as he shook his head. "Sorry, the engines are still a little shaky and I don't want to risk using them on the Relays. They'll be able to use FTL flight to get us to Omega."

The ex-slaves seemed to accept the answer and made their way out of the gun range. As Lucifer was about to make his way out he was quickly stopped by a small group of aliens, all Quarians.

"E-excuse me, Captain Morningstar." The lead Quarian said in a nerves voice. "My name is Kar'Danna, and these are my friends Kenna and Shele." From the sound of the Quarians voice he was male and as young as Lucifer.

"Nice to meet you, is their something you need?" Lucifer asked as he rubbed his side a bit.

The Quarian noticed this as he glanced down. "Um, are you okay?" He asked in a worry tone.

Lucifer waved him off with a small grin. "It was just a nick, trust me when I say I have been through a hell of a lot worse." He said while pulling his hand away. "So is something wrong?"

Danna nodded his head as he rubbed his hands together nervously. "We... we were hoping to discuses something with you before we all leave."

Lucifer looked at the Quarians and could read them like a book. They wanted something from him, or for him to do something, either way Lucifer would hear them out before making a decision.

"Ask one of my guys to take you to the meeting room, or council room." He said getting a nod from the three Quarians.

Lucifer made his way out of the Gun Range and Reilly quickly fallowed.

"So, two things." Reilly said as they walked together. "One, how are you really?"

Lucifer stopped in the middle of the hallway and looked around to see no one was in sight. He then lifted up his shirt.

Reilly gained a surprised look on her face as she saw Lucifer's side. Their was a tiny hole right under his left ribs, but it didn't look deep and their was very little blood all together. In fact Reilly could of sworn she saw the hole slowly close on it's own.

"Damn, I knew you were touch, but I didn't think even you were bullet proof to alien weapons." Reilly said in near awe as she grazed her hand over Lucifer's wound.

It was no secret to Lucifer's top crew members and even some of the lower ones that he was different. The LW didn't know how, but do to his adventures in the wasteland and his encounters with dangerous and strange chemicals and medicine have caused an effect on him in ways that even have his doctors and scientists stumped. What they do know and were able to figure out was he was nearly bullet proof and had a healing factor.

Lower caliber bullets such as 10mm pistols, Chines pistols, .32 pistols, 10mm submachine guns, Laser pistols, and even flamethrowers and minigun rounds all seem to have little effect on Lucifer's skin. Most if not all seemed to only burse his skin instead of penetrate for whatever reason. That didn't mean he couldn't take damage, higher caliber weapons such as Super Sniper Rifles and Chines Assault rifles still could put a hole in him, but only got far as an inch and if he was warring good armor then barley that. From what the scribes and scientist could tell Lucifer was that his skin was tighter together and reinforced with the iron in his blood, hell even Lucifer's bones seemed to be made of some extremely hard medal at some point. (A/N: Toughness/Rank 3 + Adamantium Skeleton + Barkskin + Pitt Fighter + Superior Defender + Rad Regeneration + Ant Might + Nerd Rage + Survival Expert + Armor + Kinetic Barriers = Fucking Bullet Proof)

As for Lucifer's supposed healing factor, that was a little easier to explain. Scribes such as Bigsley and Rothschild had taken the LW's blood and done as much research as they can on it. Apparently Lucifer had a very high white blood cell count, higher then humanly possible, not only that his cells worked in a way that was similar to both plants and reptiles, healing his skin and bones over time. The scribes made it very clear however that Lucifer might be able to save up on Stimpacks and lose some scars, but he could still lose a limb or die of blood loss. (A/N: Solar Power + Life Giver + Fast Metabolism + Hematophage + Rad Regeneration = Healing Factor)

Now Lucifer knew he was far from invincible. He couldn't count the number of times a Deathclaw or Overlord got the drop on him, and it was only thanks to his friends that he came out in one piece. But thanks to his additions he was able to fight longer, harder, and more dangerous then even the most harden warriors.

"What can I say, I'm a tough son of a bitch." Lucifer said with a grin as he pulled down his shirt.

Reilly gave a small laugh as they started to move again. "The other thing I wanted to ask was what did the Quarians want?"

Lucifer shrugged. "I told them to come to the meeting room, it seemed important."

It wasn't long before the two entered to see everyone was still in the room.

"Is everything okay?" Bigsley asked with a concerned look.

"Wait, where you shot!?" Red nearly shouted as she saw the bullet wound on Lucifer's side.

"It barley punched through." Lucifer waved off. "Now we know I can even shrug off alien weapons."

That didn't stop Red from forcing Lucifer to sit and examining his side.

"So everything was not okay?" Onyx asked while looking at Lucifer's side.

Lucifer waved everyone off. "One of the Salarians got a little to stir-crazy, grabbed a gun and locked himself in a room. No deaths, two injured, not including me." He said before hissing in pain. "Ow." He said while giving Red a look.

"Don't look at me like that, you should of went straight to the doctor." Red said as she applied a Stimpack.

Lucifer rolled his eyes as he looked to everyone. "By the way, some Quarians want to talk to use."

"About what?" Elliot asked.

Lucifer shrugged as Red pulled away. "No idea, I just told them to come here when they were ready."

Bigsley sighed while rubbing his forehead. "And when will that be? I want to look at the Eezo we gathered from the Batarian ship and I don't want to wait half the day for a meeting that might not hap-"

The Scribe was cut off when the door opened, revealing both the three Quarians and a human of Lucifer's crew. The LW gave Bigsley a look making the scribe roll his eyes.

"Boss, these guy said they you invited them here." The crew member said as he throw his thumb at the Quarians.

Lucifer nodded. "Yeah, we can take it from here." The crew member nodded before leaving. "So, what is it you three wanted to talk about?"

Danna stepped forward and rubbed his hands nervously together. "W-well Captain Morningstar-"

"Stop." Lucifer raised his hand making the Quarians flinch. "Call me Lucifer. I might be the Captain and leader of this ship, but I don't do formality all that much."

The Quarian sighed and nodded his head. "Okay, Lucifer, thank you for speaking with use."

"No problem. Practically everyone I meet need something from me in some way." Lucifer said as he shifted in his chair.

Danna rubbed the back of his head. "Were we that obvious?"

Lucifer waved them off. "Don't worry about it, practically every person on this ship has asked my help for something." He said getting nods from everyone at the table. "See. So what is it you three need?"

Danna seemed to stand a little straighter as he looked to Lucifer. "You see before we were taken by the Batarians we were on our Pilgrimage."

"I'm sorry to interrupt," Bigsley said while raising his hand. "But what is this Pilgrimage your on?"

The female Quarian of the group stepped forward, Kenna Lucifer remembered. "It is our rite of passage into adulthood." She said with some pride.

"Rite of passage? So what, you have to prove yourself to become an adult?" Red asked while tilting her head.

"Something like that." Danna said with a nod. "It's a tradition among our people. When we reach maturity we leave the Flotilla in order to search the stars in order to bring something back to Migrant Fleet such as tools, weapons, food, fuel, even ships to be broken down, anything that can be used."

"Basically we scavenge for goods and bring them back." The other Quarian male, Shele, said while crossing his arms.

Danna seemed to slouch a bit as he rubbed the back of his head. "He's not wrong. But the Pilgrimage is also a way to show we are willing to help our community and won't be a burden."

"How old do you start your pilgrimage?" Elliot asked while leaning forward in his seat.

Danna rubbed his helmet in thought. "Some ships start their pilgrimage earlier or later, if just by a few years. I remember reading that our home world years were not that different from Earth years, so by Earth standards I say between the ages of 22 to 25. Me and my friends are all 23."

Reilly snorted and looked at Lucifer. "Hey, their all older then you." She said making the LW roll his eyes.

That made the Quarians tilt their heads. "Um, how old are you exactly?" Kenna asked while tilting her head.

Lucifer gave them all a big grin. "Right now, 20, but I'll be 21 in a few months."

If the Quarians didn't have their helmets on Lucifer would of seen all their jaws dropped. "Y-your the captain of this ship at such a young age, how!?" Danna asked in a shocked tone.

Lucifer shrugged. "I found the ship, I am the strongest on this ship, and I was the one who recruited everyone. Making me captain by default." He said, getting some stares from the Quarians. "So, what is it you exactly need?"

That seemed to snap Danna out of his shock. "Well... before we were captured by the Batarians we were on Illium trying to find work. We were hoping to save up enough to by our own ship to take back to the Flotilla together, but nobody wanted to hire us." He said with some depression.

"Why, from what I heard Quarians are some damn good engineers." Elliot said with a confused expression on his face.

That seemed to perk up the Quarians a bit, but only a little. "As you may know... 300 years ago our people created the Geth before we were pushed off our home planet. Ever since then our people have become nomads, wondering the stars. People don't trust our race because of that."

Reilly snorted with an angry look on her face. "You know, you think with so many alien species in space their would be a little less racism going around."

Lucifer snorted and shook his head. "Actually, I'm surprised their isn't more. Humans have enough trouble dealing with other people with different skins colors or even what continent you were born on. Any person will pick at something they don't like about you and use that against you." He said before looking at the Quarians. "What happened next?"

Danna sighed as he slouched a bit. "After we couldn't find any work on Illium we were hoping to find something at the Citadel, but our ship was taken by the Batarians and you know the rest."

Lucifer nodded at Danna, he gathered enough from around to think of a clear picture. "So, what is it you exactly need from me?"

That question seemed to make the three Quarians all nervous from their body language. "We... we noticed you were scavenging the ship for parts for the mast few day. Everything from weapons, fuel, even Batarian food, but you didn't seem that interested in taking the ship itself." Danna took a deep breath before looking Lucifer in the eyes. "We were hoping if... you gave us the Batarian ship."

Everyone at the table looked at the Quarians with a surprised look. "You want us to... give you the ship?" Onyx asked while tilting his head.

Kenna rubbed her hands together nervously. "It... it would be very useful to the fleet. It's big enough that we can use it not for spare parts, but as a new ship to add to the fleet as a whole. Not only that it's so intact that repairing it would take little effort."

Lucifer rubbed his chin in though before turning to Bigsley and Onyx. "What was our original plan for the ship?"

"After we were done taking anything useful we were going to turn our main cannons on it and destroy it, so no other Batarian can use it." Bigsley said, making the female Quarian take a sharp gasp.

Lucifer nodded before turning back to the Quarians. "If that's the case I wouldn't mind giving the ship to you, but can the three of you fly it?"

The thee Quarians all looked at Lucifer in shock before nodding their heads. "Ye-yes! It wouldn't be a problem for use to direct the ship to the migrant fleet!" Danna almost shouted at Lucifer. "It would only take a few hours!"

Lucifer nodded to them. "Alright." He said before glancing to Onyx. "Give them enough fuel and whatever they need to get back to their home."

Onyx gave Lucifer a small smile as he nodded his head. "Right away captain."

Again the Quarians looked at Lucifer in complete disbelief. "I... I can't believe... your giving us the ship." Danna stuttered but from his tone he was very happy tone. "I... I don't know if we can ever repay you." He said emotionally.

Lucifer smiled at them while giving them a small shrug. "Well we can't scrap it or take it somewhere to be sold, so it's earthier destroy it or give it to you. And you seem like you'll get more goods out of it then us just destroying it."

Shele shook his head at Lucifer. "Most would rather destroy a ship then give it to a Quarian out of principle."

Kenna nodded her head to Lucifer. "We are eternally grateful for what you gave have given us." She said with pure happiness.

Onyx lead the Quarians out of the room before closing the door behind them.

"Even in space you can't help but help people, huh?" Reilly asked with a grin on her face.

Lucifer gave her a small smile as he shrugged his arms. "They've been through a lot, they could use a good thing." He said before looking to Elliot. "So anything more you can tell me about Omega?"

Elliot brought up his Omni-Tool as he started to read. "Well... they have bars and strip clubs." Elliot said off hand.

Now a wicked grin crosses Lucifer's face. "Now your talking."

---

After giving the Quarians the Batarian ship it wasn't long before the Revelation started to move using the FTL travel. It took a while but it wasn't long before the Revelation saw Omega in the distance.

"Coming up on Omega Captain." Sally said as she steered the ship. "Estimated time, 3 minutes."

"Lucifer, we got an incoming transmission." Elliot said with a worried look.

Lucifer folded his arms over his chest. "Patch them through." He said in a serious tone.

A few seconds later an image of a Turian with blue face paint appeared on the holo-screen, a serious but also nerves look on his face.

"Human, what is your reason for coming to Omega in such a large ship?" The Turian asked in a serious voice.

Lucifer leaned forward and looked the Turian in the eyes. "My ship is a bit damage and we got some people here that we rescued from some slavers. We need to dock to make some necessary repairs and get these people home."

The Turian was silent for a moment before he spoke. "Give me a moment." He brought up his Omni-Tool and started to typed on it.

"I guess it's understandable for them to be worried with a ship this size suddenly coming out of nowhere and wanting to park." Elliot said as he leaned back in his seat. "Hopefully they'll at least let us get the ex-slaves off."

"If not then we'll force our way on, then deal with the problem later." Lucifer said with a shrug.

After a few more moments the Turian looked back at Lucifer. "Your aloud to dock at bay 15, but no one is aloud to leave the ship except for you. Use a shuttle to get to the docking bay. Aria will speak with you before you do anything."

Lucifer raised an eyebrow at this. From the tone of the Turian's voice it sounded like he both respected and feared this Aria. Which means if the LW wanted anything done he would have to talk to this Aria, or risk having his crew fight in something pointless.

"Am I allowed to bring some of my guys?" Lucifer asked, just because he wasn't looking for trouble didn't mean he wouldn't fight back.

The Turian was quiet before nodding his head. "You can bring 3 people with you, no more. You can also bring weapons, but if you start a fight then you and your ship will be gunned down." He said before ending the transmission.

"So it looks like you'll be having a diplomatic meeting." Elliot said with a sigh. "Should I ready the cannons?"

"Fuck you." Lucifer said playfully getting a small laugh out of his adviser.

"So, who will you bring with you? Clover?"

That just made Lucifer snort. "I want to talk to this Aria, not have her mulled by that minx."

"Right, right." The soldier said with a nod. "So who will you bring?"

Lucifer gave the decision a long thought. He would need to bring someone of sound mind that wouldn't cause trouble at the smallest thing, so Clover and RL were out. He also needed people who wouldn't get distracted and could fallow orders easily, so that left out Butch and Dogmeat.

"Tell Fawkes, Charon, and... Sydney to meet me in the docking bay." Lucifer said as he got up from his chair. "I need to get changed."

"Got it captain!" Sally said with a smile as Lucifer walked through the door out of the control room.

---

Lucifer walked into the hanger warring his Infiltration Gear, only this time he had his Xualong Rifle instead of his shotgun, and he also had The Shocker in his coat instead of his Katana.

The LW saw his crew waiting for him by the door.

Fawkes was decked out in a specially made armor that covered his yellow body. The armor was made from pieces of power armor the ship had along with some combat armor to cover the exposed bits. On Fawkes back was his favorite weapon, the Gatling Laser with his personal Super Sledge Hammer. (A/N: Think Frank Horrigan from Fallout 2, only no exposed bits)

Charon was warring a sleek set of black combat over his leather suit that covered his entire body. He also had a black helmet over his head that completely covered his face and only showed his milky white eyes. If you were to see him you couldn't tell he was a ghoul. On his back was his favored combat shotgun and on his hip was a .44 magnum revolver along with a sleek combat knife. Charon has been a faithful companion to Lucifer for a while, ever since he bough the ghouls contract back in Underworld. Tough no matter how hard Lucifer tried Charon seemed to still have some form of obedience to anyone who held his contract. Thankfully the doctors on the Revelation were slowly breaking the so-called brainwashing that was placed on Charon and now the ghoul had a lot more free will then before.

Sydney stood warring a set of light weight combat armor panted white. On her hip was her personal 10mm Submachine Gun along with a shock baton on the other side and a few grenades on her back. Sydney was one of the lest common companion Lucifer has teamed up with, but the two were still good friends. The LW met the young woman after he heard a distress call from a museum not far from Underworld.

Once there Lucifer was treated to the sight of the young beautiful woman gunning down a pack of Super Mutants with her personal gun along with her friend Emaline who used Flamer as her main weapon. After some talking Lucifer learned the young woman was a Relic Hunter, a mercenary that looks for old stuff someone might find useful, such as documents or even tech, and Emaline was a long time friend that was tagging along for the ride. Lucifer agreed to help the women and the three fought off a small army of robots together before grabbing both the Constitution and the Bill of Right. The three got out of the museum before heading to Rivet City to turn in the documents and earned a nice fat bounty. They spend a good portion on booze and got to talking, and it wasn't long before Lucifer found out that Sydney was the 'Little Moon Beam' the holo-tape the LW found in the abandon hotel was meant for. To say that Sydney and Emaline were shocked would be an understatement.

The next morning Lucifer woke up to the welcome sight of both girls in his arms as the three laid naked in a queen size bed in a privet room. All three exhausted but were more then satisfied.

Sydney and Lucifer were by no means in a relationship, they were simply good friends with very good benefits. Hell it seemed Sydney may have started a relationship with Emaline but was too embarrassed to admit it to him.

"Everyone ready?" Lucifer said as he pulled the orange faceplate down.

"We will fallow your lead friend." Fawkes said while shifting in his large armor.

"Kind of shocking we're going on an alien space station." Sydney said as she put a hand on her hip. "You always take us to the strangest fucking places."

Charon just snorted at that. "I stopped being surprised the moment I stepped on an alien space ship."

"True." Sydney nodded.

Lucifer gave a small laugh. "Please, your all loving this."

"Traveling the stars and exploring the unknown while having everything I could ever want on this ship, hell yes." Sydney said as she put a hand on her hip. "And the space sex isn't bad earthier." She said in a flirty tone.

"Keep your pants on, we have some serious work to do." Lucifer said in a slightly serious tone, though he had a grin on his face. "So we're going to see the boss of this place. I have no idea what this person wants, so try not to start anything. The last thing we need is for us to start a fight with our entire crew in space." He said, getting a nod from everyone.

"So who's going to fly us in to the alien space ship?" Sydney asked as the group moved to the shuttle.

Lucifer turned to his ghoul friend. "Charon, think you can fly us?"

The ghoul rolled his head around before nodding. "It won't be a problem."

The four climbed into the drop-ship before Charon flew them out of the Revelation to Omega. The group all stared out at the large city floating in space as Charon flew towards dock 15.

"This is truly a sight to behold." Fawkes said in a soft tone as he stared at the city. "It is a place to make you realize how small you are in this large galaxy."

"I wouldn't go that far." Sydney said as she gazed at the large station. "But it sure is something."

Charon was quiet for a long moment before he turned forward with a slightly softer gaze. "Approaching Dock 15." He said while seeing a giant glowing 15 at one of the docks.

The ship a small opening in Omega's side that was protected by a Kinetic Barrier that allowed them to go through. Looking through the windows the group saw several armed aliens witting for them with guns in their hands.

"Um, you sure this isn't a trap boss?" Charon asked while he landed the ship.

"Not sure, but if it is we can handle ourselves if this turns out to be one." Lucifer said with a care free shrug.

That only made Sydney sigh. "Why is it you always take us to such dangerous... hold on a second." Sydney cut herself off as she leaned closer to the window. "What the fuck, some of those guys are human. How the fuck are humans out here, and with guns? I can understand enslaved humans being in space, but these guys seemed to know the place." Sydney said while giving Lucifer a look.

The LW was quiet as he looked out the window, seeing some of the armed guards were in fact human along with Turians, and even two Batarians. Sighing, Lucifer turned to his friends. "Look, I know you all have a shit load of questions, and are confused. But I need everyone to bare with this. Treat this like nothing more then some of the missions you all helped me with in the past... please."

Both Sydney and Charon looked at Lucifer with some confusion while Fawkes only nodded, already knowing the situation they were in.

Charon shrugged as he landed the drop-ship. "Your the boss, and I don't really feel like finding out what is going on."

Sydney rubbed the back of her head with a confused look. "I don't know what's going on... but I trust you, if I didn't I wouldn't have fallowed you into space on a fucking alien space ship."

"Or into my bed." Lucifer throw back with a flirty grin.

"True, perv." She said with a laugh.

"Keep it in your pants smooth skins, I think the locals are getting restless." Charon said as he throw his thumb to the window.

Lucifer nodded as he looked to everyone. "I'll go first, be ready for anything." He said getting a nod from his crew. Pressing a button on his neck the orange face plate slid back to reveal his face.

Opening the side of the shuttle Lucifer climbed out making all the guards grab their guns.

"Where's the rest of your crew?" A Turian asked with a glare.

"Depends if this is a trap or not." Lucifer said while crossing his arms. "I don't mind risking my life and running into a possible trap, I find them fun. But I don't risk my guys."

The Turian glared at Lucifer before he lowered his gun back into his holster, his guys fallowing. "Aria want's to meet you, and what Aria wants Aria gets. Anyone who's stupid to disobey or throw her name around without giving a shit is asking for a bullet in his head. And I think we both don't want a death wish."

Lucifer looked right into the Turian's eyes before nodding his head and looking back. "It's good guys!"

Charon and Sydney climbed out while looking around. Relaxing a bit as they saw none of the guards had their guns in hand.

What made them pull out their guns however was when Fawkes climbed out.

"Fuck, they got a Krogan!"

"I... I don't think that's a Krogan!"

"Fuck, he's got a serious weapon!"

The Turian quickly stepped forward. "Put your guns down! Are you Aria's men or some shitty street rats!" That seemed to make the guard lower their guns, though a bit reluctantly. "And you, maybe you should warn us when your bringing a Krogan with you." He said in a peeved tone to Lucifer.

Lucifer just shrugged. "You said I could bring three people with weapons, I brought three people with weapons." At the glare he received Lucifer could tell the Turian was not amused. "Should we really be talking and making Aria wait, or do you want to get us to her on time?" Lucifer asked with a raised eyebrows.

That seemed to make the Turian sweat a bit as he quickly turned around with a grunt. "Stick close and don't wander off." He said before he and his crew started to walk, making Lucifer and his friends quickly fallow.

As Lucifer and his crew fallowed the guards their eyes wondered around to see tones of stores, shops, and people roaming around, both humans and aliens.

"Kind of reminds me of Rivet City's market, only bigger." Charon then sniffed the air before cringing. "But it smells the same." He said making Sydney give a small laugh.

As the Revelation crew continued to fallow the guards it wasn't long before they opened a door and saw a large building a block away.

'Afterlife' in big red letters were shown glowing above the entrance as people waited in line to get in. Surprisingly an Elcor was blocking the line of people trying to get in, a bouncer.

As Lucifer got closer he could hear a conversation between a human and the bouncer.

"Come on, let me in!" The human said in a annoyed voice. "Aria's expecting me!"

The Elcor however didn't move an inch. "Annoyed: if Aria wanted to see you, you would be inside already." He said in a bland tone.

Lucifer's crew continued to fallow Aria's men and made their way inside without any hesitation.

"Oh come on, you just let like 10 people in!" The man shouted even more annoyed as the door closed behind them.

As the LW walked behind the Turian leader he started to hear strange music at the end of the hall along with a lot of talking. When they finely reached the end of the hall the main door opened, and what they saw was a sight to behold.

Fast music, dancing girls, liquor, only one thing came to Lucifer's mind.

"I'm home." He said with a big smile on his face while taking a deep breath, smelling smoke, liquor, drugs, and sex in the air.

"Come on." The Turian said while rolling his eyes a he led Lucifer's group.

As they fallowed the Turian Lucifer's eyes couldn't help but wander on all the Asari dancers in tight revealing cloths. As Lucifer found out more about the Asari the more the LW wouldn't mind bringing one to his bed, or a few.

Shaking his head slightly Lucifer focused on the task at hand. The last thing he needed was to talk to this Aria while thinking about sex.

Walking up some white stares to a balcony on the second floor, over looking Afterlife from below. Right on the edge of the balcony was a large couch with an purple Asari sitting with a serious look on her face, along with a few guards around her, mostly Batarian.

"Aria only wants to speak to the one in charge." The Turian said as he blocked Lucifer's crew from walking up the stares.

Lucifer looked back and gave his crew a grin. "Don't worry, you know I can handle myself." He said in a care free voice as he walked up the stares.

As soon as Lucifer reached the top of the stares he was stopped. "That's close enough." Aria said in a serious voice making Lucifer stop right at the top of the stares. "You know, most people who see a ship that size come to Omega without telling me must be earthier preparing for a war, or desperate. Which are you?" Aria asked while looking into Lucifer's eyes before she raised an eyebrow at how young Lucifer's face looked.

"Desperate." Lucifer said without any hesitation. "So by the amount of power I heard you have just by walking in here, I can assume your the one in charge of Omega."

That seemed to get a laugh out of Aria as she got up from her seat and turned towards the balcony. "I am Omega." She stated as a fact and not a damn person around seemed to second guess her before she turned back to Lucifer. "I am the boss, CEO, queen if your feeling dramatic. It doesn't matter. Omega has no titled ruler and only one rule." She said before sitting down at her seat.

"Don't fuck with Aria." The purple Asari said with a small smile on her face.

That actually got a laugh out of Lucifer, making Aria raise an eyebrow. "You know, I tried to also have a rule like that back home, but no matter how hard I tried people just kept coming at me. Don't know why."

That made Aria snort. "Then you weren't doing it right." Aria said before giving Lucifer a serious look. "So you mind telling me why you have a ship the size of a dreadnought parked in front of Omega?"

Lucifer gave a small shrug. "My ship was in a fight with some other ships before we escaped into the Terminus System. But not even an hour later a Batarian Slaver ship hit us." He said in an annoyed tone. "To make a long story short I took a small team with me to take out the slaver crew and rescue the slaves."

That brought an amused look on Aria's face. "Well aren't you a regular hero. I hate slavers just as much as the next self-righteous asshole, but that doesn't mean I go looking to hit one of their ships."

Lucifer gave her a small shrug. "I do some good when I can, it's good to have karma on your side when you need it. Plus the pirates had a lot of stuff on their ship, creates, credits, weapons, goods that can be sold."

Now that made Aria smirk. "Well now, turns out the leader of this little crew isn't as kind hearted after all. If, your really the leader." She said while narrowing her eyes.

That just made Lucifer give her a smug grin. "What, can't you tell from how I look." The LW said while gesturing to himself. "I've been told I just have one of those faces."

"I can tell your dangerous, but a leader, not so much." Aria said while looking Lucifer over. "I don't recognize you or your ship. So I have no idea if your as dangerous as you say, or just some human trying to act bigger then they are."

"Then it's time I intrados myself to you Aria." The LW said with some dramatic flare as he gave a slight bow to Aria. "My name is Lucifer Morningstar, and my ship is known as the Revelation."

One of the human guards snorted into his hand, grabbing Aria's attention. "Is something funny?"

The guard now looked a little pale as he started to sputter. "I-It's just his name..." The guard sputtered out.

Lucifer grinned as he raised his hand. "Don't worry, I understand." He said to the guard making his sigh in relief. "Why don't you tell your boss what my name means."

When Aria looked to the human guard expectantly he started to talk. "Well, the name Lucifer comes from the Bible, one of the religions back on earth."

A Batarian just snorted at that. "With so many you have I'm surprised your able to tall them apart." He said getting a glare from the human.

"Don't forget all the freaky cults that worship anything." Lucifer added with a cheeky grin.

"Anyway," The guard said a little annoyed. "The Bible has a lot of stories and one of them was the Devil, the embodiment of evil, and who's name is Lucifer."

Aria raised an eyebrow as she turned to Lucifer with a snort. "So what, you see yourself as all that is evil and end up free slaves, a little counterproductive don't you think."

Lucifer however just waved his hand. "No way, see theirs a little more to the name Lucifer Morningstar then just him becoming the devil. See Lucifer was the son of god but was cast out of to hell for rebelling against his father. He was the first fallen angle and was sent to hell to punish the wicked. But he was most noted for tempting humans and doing whatever the hell he wanted."

Aria gave Lucifer a look before she shook her head. "What the hell dose any of this have to do with anything?"

Lucifer throw his arms wide open with a wicked smile on his face. "Basically, I will do whatever the hell I want!" He said with a laugh. "If I want to kill some slaver bastards and free the slaves, then I fucking will! If I want to party while having crazy sex with drinks and high on drugs, then I will! I wanted a ship and my own crew then I fixed that fucker and picked everyone in my crew in less then two years! I wanted to take down a slaver group and I had no help, everyone told me it was suicide, but I went inside and killed all the slavers their without any hesitation before freeing the slaves, because I fucking wanted to. I will do whatever I want, not to please others, not to gain favors, but because I damn well want it!"

Everyone stared at Lucifer for a long moment as he finished his speech, and Aria was one of them.

The purple Asari throw her head back with a laugh before looking to Lucifer with a small grin. "That is something I can understand, you want something and you don't give a damn what others think, I can respect that." She said before leaning forward and giving Lucifer a small glare. "But the question is, can you back it up, or is this all hopeful thinking."

Now Lucifer gained an almost feral grin on his face, one that put Aria's men a little on edge. "Trust me, back home I was not someone you fuck with unless you seriously had a death wish." He said before a much friendlier smile crossed his face. "So I think it's time we got down to business. What can I do for you Aria?"

The queen of Omega raised an eyebrow at Lucifer. "What makes you think I need anything?" Aria asked while leaning back in her sofa.

"Not need, do." Lucifer said as he put his hands in his pockets. "Like you said, your the queen of Omega, I'm pretty sure you could get your hands on anything with little effort. What I am offering to you is showing how valuable I am." The LW said with a grin. "To you I'm nothing more then some kid with a big ship with a big crew, nothing you haven't seen. So let me show you what I'm made of, and why it's a good idea for you to have me in your corner."

Aria stared at Lucifer for a long moment before she snapped her fingers to one of her guards, a Batarian. The guard quickly handed her a holo-pad before standing back. The Asari looked at the pad for a few seconds before throwing it to Lucifer, who caught it.

"Theirs been a new gang that recently formed a few months back led by two people, a Salarian and a Human. Human's name is Tooth and the Salarian calls himself Finn, stupid names but that's just how it is. Call themselves the Space Sharks, heard it's some animal from your planet." Aria said as she leaned back.

"Wouldn't know, never seen one." Lucifer said as he looked the bad over. "So, mind telling me what these guys did to piss you off?" He asked while looking up.

An annoyed look crossed Aria's face, but Lucifer could tell it wasn't directed at him. "At first they were like any new merc gang, they did some jobs, shook down some poor bastards, and got their hands on some descent guns. But for the past two months they've been stepping over their boundaries, causing trouble where it effects me." She said with a glare. "Just last week they killed three of my guys when I set up a meeting with some very beneficial clients, nearly breaking my deal. They were also happy to inform me that they 'taken over' a small section of Omega and that they would be coming after me next if I interfered with them." She said with a snort. "Their not the first to threaten me and they won't be the last."

Lucifer nodded as he looked through the data-pad. He was slightly surprised to see all the information Aria was giving her, the exact amount of men in the gang, the weapons they have, what kind of species there were in the gang, nearly everything useful.

"This is way more information then I'm used to." Lucifer admitted as he saw their was even a detailed layout of the Space Sharks hideout.

"What, you usually go into enemy territory blind?" Aira asked with a raised brow.

"No, sometimes I'm told their is enemies around." Lucifer said with a straight face creating a small silence. "So why haven't you hit these guys yet?" Lucifer asked as he looked back to the bad.

"Because their dug in deep in their little base. Good defenses, hard wall's, and a shit load of men for a gang. But really, I didn't see much point since they managed to not only piss off me, but the Eclipse mercenary group as well. Don't know the exact details, but the bottom line is about at the same time they pissed me off about 50 Space Sharks hit an a small group of Eclipse mercs that were transporting weapons." Aria explained as she leaned forward. "The Eclipse came to me a few days ago for some information and were planning to take out the Sharks in a few days. But I don't think they would mind if someone else hit them first." She said with a smile.

"Let it be known that anyone who fucks with you is dead by you hiring a small group of no named mercenaries to take on a gang of over 100 men alone without any help." Lucifer said slowly as he put the data-pad down and gave Aria a grin, one she returned. "At the same time if we fuck up and die you can just say we were some nobodies looking for some good old revenge."

"Well aren't you a smart one." Aria said, not denying Lucifer's logic. "So, will you take the job or what?"

The LW rubbed his chin as he looked into Aria's eyes. "And what will be our composition for completing this mission."

Aria throw had hand at that. "Whatever you want, with in reason. Credits, weapons, armor, I can easily get you anything you might need." She said with little hesitation.

Lucifer however waved his hand. "I got armor and weapons, and credits won't be a problem for me. But I have a better idea, one that can help us both easily."

"What do you have in mind?" Aria asked while narrowing her eyes.

"One, I want you to arrange a shuttle for the slaves I rescued to be taken to the Citadel, that seemed to be where they were all heading." Lucifer said in a serious voice, the first one yet.

"Easy." Aria said without any hesitation. "It would only take a day to get them to the Citadel, and slavers know not to hit my ships."

"Good," Lucifer said with a small sigh. That's one problem off his list. "Next is jobs, you must know a lot of people that need something done that requires guns and bodies. Point me to where these jobs are and put in a good word for me, and I'll give you a cut." Lucifer offered.

"10%." Aria said with a grin. "My name carries weight."

"Yeah, well I'm the one soaking up bullets while you sit her having good shows." Lucifer said with a small glare while he throw his thumb to the stripers. "2%"

"Don't insult me, 8%"

"3% and I'll give you a discount on any job you give me." Lucifer said with a raised brow.

That made Aria pause before she nodded her had. "Fine, you slippery bastard."

"Please, keep the flattery for when I finish the mission." Lucifer said with a grin. "And finally, I'm going to need some equipment and parts to fix up my ships engines, some plans wouldn't hurt. I don't know the exact thing that are needed, but I could use some help at pointing out where to get the good stuff."

Aria understood the implication and nodded her head. "All easy. Now are you going to do the job or is this all just to waist my time?"

Lucifer looked back at his crew with a grin on his face. "What do you think guys, want to hit this gang?" The LW asked in a care free tone.

"Well someone has to hold you back." Charon called up while folding his arms.

"It will be exiting to fight with you in battle friend!" Fawkes said while bounding his fist together.

Sydney looked at her weapons before looking back at Lucifer. "I think I'm going to need some bigger guns, but I'm definitely down."

Lucifer looked back at Aria with a small grin. "I'm a need to stop by my ship and get some better gear, I'll be back in a bit."

Aria just waved him off. "I'll have one of my guys wait in docking bay 15 on one of my shuttles. If you take yours to the Sharks hangout they'll shoot you on sight, at least with mine they'll hesitate lone enough for you to get grounded."

Lucifer nodded before turning to Sydney. "Let's move." He said, getting a nod from the treasure hunter before they moved out of Afterlife.

---

After making their way back to dock 15 Lucifer flew the shuttle back to the Revelation and the two didn't waste any time grabbing their gear and more. While on the Revelation Lucifer gave Elliot a rundown on what was going on.

While that happened Lucifer and Sydney upgraded their gear.

The treasure hunter upgraded her armor to some Reinforced Combat Armor with a built in Kinetic Barrier. As for weapons, she kept her custom 10mm SMG since it was stronger before thanks to some more upgrades the Zeta Beings made, but switcher her Shock Baton for a high power Ripper. She also grabbed a few extra grenades such as Plasma and Pulse, and an Assault Carbine for more fire power. Sydney like to keep light, but knew when to get a little heavier if the situation demanded it.

Lucifer however went all out. The first thing he did was take off his Infiltration gear and go for his heavy armor. He could wear his Stealth Suit inside his power armor, but it would hinder his movements and he couldn't activate the stealth function to the armor. So for Power Armor Lucifer wore a thin tight black suit made from something called Ballistic Fibers, light but on the thick side, but was thin enough to wear under Power Armor. Lucifer didn't know where the Fibers came from, Onyx said they got it from some military base after the war, what Lucifer did know that their was only a little for a few suits and Lucifer had one of them.

The Power-Armor Lucifer grabbed was his custom Winterized Power-Armor. This Power-Armor was cutting edge, no matter how many shots it took it never needed repairing or fell apart, that didn't mean Lucifer was invincible, it just made him harder to kill. Thanks to the Zeta Beings access to information and technology, Lucifer was able to turn his armor into a walking tank. The helmet was upgraded to highlight enemies even in total darkness along with night vision. The arms were reinforced with Tesla Bracers, allowing Lucifer to hit with a shock for every punch. The legs were infused with Explosive vents, so whenever Lucifer fell from a great height and hit the ground an explosion went off.

But the most noticeable thing was what was on the back, a god damn Jet Pack. Lucifer almost shit himself happy when he found a few on the ship. It allowed him to fly up a few stories and even in the air, but too long will over heat the Pack and force it to shut down. Add all this and the Kinetic Barriers and Lucifer could of been unstoppable back in the wasteland.

For weapons Lucifer grabbed Vengeance, his custom Gatling laser, the LW wanted to see if energy weapons really made a difference against Kinetic Barriers. For his sidearm Lucifer grabbed the Firelance, Onyx explained that the alien weapon was an experimental weapon that was being transported, but fell to earth not long before Lucifer was abducted. And finely was the Mauler, though the weapon was once just a construction tool, Lucifer was proud to admit to killing a good number of Super Mutants, Deathclaws, and Enclave with the Auto-Axe.

With all his gear set Lucifer flew him and shuttle back to dock 15 as best he could in the Power-Armor with Sydney in the back.

Landing in the dock Lucifer and Sydney quickly climbed out to see a Batarian witting for them along with Fawkes and Charon.

When the Batarian's eyes land on Lucifer his jaw drops slightly. "Damn... you look ready for war." The as he gazed at Lucifer's armor.

The LW rolled his head around with his helmet as he grinned at the Batarian. "Just drop us off at this place so we can wreck some shit."

The Batarian gave a chuckle as he throw his hands up. "You don't have to tell me twice." He said as he throw his thumb to the shuttle. "Get in, it'll only take a few minutes to get you to the Sharks main base."

The four 'humans' all climbed into the shuttle while the Batarian climbed behind the wheel before taking off.

As they flew Lucifer pulled off his helmet and looked to his companions. "So thanks to Aria we have a shit load of information on this Shark gang. Average weapons, Kinetic Barriers not that common but still a few, armor is shit but sturdy to take some shots."

"What about the building?" Charon asked as he looked at his shotgun. "Anything we should be expecting?"

Lucifer pulled up the data-pad and looked it over. "A somewhat large building, used to be for refining Eezo so it's factory base. So expect a lot of old broken down machines. It's got several floors and the main guys are at the top. Outer defenses aren't much, just some guards with machineguns on top of the building, though their is little cover to get into the building entrance."

"Any chance we can just drop on top?" Sydney asked while glancing at the pilot.

"No way, they'll start shooting at us as soon as we get close and I'm not taking the chance of dying!" The Batarian throw back with a small glare.

"Just hide behind me and Fawkes, we'll be able to hold of any heavy fire." Lucifer said, getting a nod from Sydney and Charon. "Well you guys know the usual gig, kill everyone that shoots at us and loot all we can before coming back later. Charon and Sydney, you give me and Fawkes support fire as we take up the bulk of the shots." He said, getting a nod from them.

"Just to warn you, Aria just learned that the leaders of the Space Sharks have hired a Krogan, so expect a tough fight." He said making Lucifer give a soft groan. "Also, if you manage to bring one of the leaders back to Aria alive she'll pay you a lot of credits. She want's to know how these guys got information on the Eclipse gun movements."

"No promises, but we'll try." Lucifer said, getting a nod from the Batarian.

The shuttle flew for a few more minutes before the Batarian looked back. "Look alive, we're hear!" He called back.

Lucifer glanced out the window to see a building that looked abandoned, not that different from the old factories back home. The LW could see some guards at the top of the building have spotted them but haven't shot at them yet.

The Batarian landed his ship down about a block away from the Sharks hideout, allowing Lucifer and his crew to climb out.

"I'll come back here in about an hour. If your not here, I'll assume your dead." The Batarian called as he closed the shuttle and quickly flew away.

"I'm really starting to not like Batarians." Charon said with a small growl.

Fawkes nodded. "They have not shown the best of character so far. Then again neither have my brothers, yet here I am."

"Well I'll keep not liking any Batarian until one show's not to be an asshole." Lucifer said as he pulled out Vengeance. "Look alive, they know we're here."

As soon as the words left Lucifer's mouth shots went off, causing Charon and Sydney to hide behind Lucifer and Fawkes as their armor took the shots.

The LW clicked his teeth as he felt the small sting of a few bullets.

Fawkes let out a battle cry as he pulled out his Gatling laser before firing. "You're dead!" The Super Mutant yelled as he and Lucifer started to move forward.

It didn't take much effort for the 4 to not only take out the guards on top of the roof but make it to the front entrance unharmed.

"Alright, as soon as I open the door I want everyone to find cover as soon as they can." Lucifer said, getting a nod from everyone. Taking a small breath the LW brought up his Omni-Tool and quickly opened the door.

Everything seemed to slow down as the four rushed in. Lucifer instantly saw at least 20 people in the room alone, all wearing purple armor with a shark symbol on their chest. Most were human, though their were some Turians and Salarians in the gang, all armed with assault rifles.

Charon and Sydney instantly dived to the side behind cover while Lucifer and Fawkes stood at the door with their weapons out.

"What the fu-" The Turian cut himself off as he saw something land at his feet. "...Shit."

A wave of green energy exploded right at the Turian's feet, shredding him and a few others to pieces.

Lucifer and Fawkes let lose their Gatling lasers on the Shark gang members while Charon and Sydney turned their weapons. Lucifer was a little surprised to see how effective his energy weapon was against the Shark gang members now that he was paying attention. Sure Lucifer had seen what happened to an unarmored person when he turned Vengeance on them, raiders just kept running up to the weapon. But to see the energy weapon do such quick work without any problem was a little surprising, though that didn't stop Lucifer and Fawkes from gunning all the gang members down.

Sydney hid behind a convertor belt as she used her Assault Carbine to take out anyone that poked their head out. Out of the corner of her eye she saw five more gang members rush into the room with guns in hand. Thinking fast the treasure hunter grabbed another Plasma grenade from her belt before lobbing it towards the group, a few seconds later the blast killed two and injured a few. As the others scattered Sydney brought up her SMG and quickly took the other's out.

Charon slowly moved forward with his shotgun in hand, making perfect headshots nearly every time he some a pair of eyes. Despite having nothing more then a Combat Shotgun Charon's shotgun was in top condition and could take the head off a Deathclaw with just three shots.

"Aahh!"

Turning his head to the side Charon saw a human run at him with the butt of his gun in the air. Their was a despite look in his eyes along with determination, something he see loads of times against skilled raiders or Enclave. Ducking under the Shark member swinging his gun Charon pulled out his knife and jabbed it into the merc's side. The gang member screamed in pain as he dropped his gun, in one fluid motion Charon pulled out his knife before jabbing it into the side of the gang members head.

Charon pulled his knife back and brought out his shotgun before the merc even fell dead.

Fawkes was laughing with joy as he gunned down his enemies with little mercy. Despite being a philosopher and sane Fawkes was still known to be blood thirsty in battle, luckily he could still easily tell friend from foe without any trouble.

"You lose!" Fawkes yelled as he swung his arm into a merc's face, practically taking his head off with a noticeable crake.

After a few minutes all gunfire stopped and only Lucifer's crew was left standing.

"Clear!" Charon called as he stood up while looking around.

"Everyone still in one piece?" Lucifer asked while looking over his crew.

"Nothing some rest and a bath can't fix." Sydney said while rolling her shoulder. "These guys were bad, like high raiders bad."

"Don't get cocky, even a raider can get the drop on you." Charon warned as he scanned the area.

"Trust me, I know." Sydney said with a nod. "So what's our next move?" She asked while looking at Lucifer.

The LW reloaded Vengeance as he glanced around. "Thanks to Aria we have a map of the building and know where to find the leaders."

That made Sydney throw Lucifer a grin. "You seemed to be getting close to this Aria," She said in a teasing tone. "Already found an alien race you wouldn't mind dragging a few into your bed."

Lucifer gave a small laugh at that. "Your not wrong." He said through his power armor. "Let's get moving, the sooner we kill these guys the sooner we can send some of our guys here to loot the place."

"Always thinking about money, huh?" Charon said with a small snort.

"It is in his nature." Fawkes said with a nod.

"Let's move." Lucifer said while rolling his eyes.

Lucifer and Fawkes were the firsts to enter a door after climbing up to a catwalk while Charon and Sydney stuck behind them for, giving them firing support. As the group pressed onward deeper into the factory they ran into more mercs trying to stop them, but they were quickly taken care of. It wasn't long before the four reached the top of the building.

As the four entered a large room Lucifer was caught off guard when a large shot slammed into his chest, nearly throwing him off his feet.

Up ahead was a large Krogan in black armor welding a huge shotgun. Behind him was a human in a much bulkier armor then the other mercs with a large rifle in hand. Above the two was a Salarian with three drones flying above him in the air. Their was also a number of other mercs around with their weapons ready.

"Who the fuck do you four think you are!" The human leader yelled as he pulled off his helmet, revealing a young rugged face, but older then Lucifer by a few years. "You come into my home and kill my guys like you fucking own the place! Who the fuck are you!" Tooth yelled.

Lucifer was quiet for a moment as he thought about what the man said. He was Lucifer Morningstar and his ship was the Revelation, but what was the name of the group he was leading, his crew's name. The LW had ran into tones of groups with their own name, The Brotherhood of Steel, the Outcasts, Regulators, Littlehorn & Associates (Which he destroyed soon after), Talon Company (Also blew up their base), and so many more. So what was Lucifer's crew groups name.

After a moment of thought a big grin crossed Lucifer's face as he stepped forward.

"We're Lion's Pride," Lucifer called in a booming voice as his companions looked at him. "And we're here to take you down!" He shouted as he glanced back.

Lucifer's companions seemed thoughtful about the name before nodding their head with grins on their faces.

One of the few groups Lucifer was honored to be apart of was Lyon's Pride. Most people would call Elder Lyons a fool for setting up base in the capital wasteland and focusing on killing Super Mutants, but if it wasn't for him staying the Capital wasteland would be over-run with mutants, or the Enclave would of wiped out all life and become unstoppable. Lucifer might not agree with everything Lyons stood for, but the LW respected the man to a fault, and he felt pride for being apart of Lyon's Pride.

The mercenary gang looked confused before the leader growled. "I never even heard of your fucking name!" The human leader said with a glare.

Lucifer just shrugged in his armor. "We formed about... a week ago?" He asked while looking back at his companions, who nodded. "Yeah, a week."

That seemed to get a seriously pissed off look from Tooth as he tighten his hand over his rifle. "A fucking rookie group is trying to take me out, not fucking happening." Tooth growled as he pulled his helmet on. "Kill them!"

The Krogan grinned as he let out a roar before charging forward.

"He's mine!" Fawkes yelled as he put his Gatling laser away and pulled out his hammer before charging forward.

"Sydney, cover me! Charon, take out those robots!" Lucifer yelled as he brought up Vengeance and started firing.

Sydney turned her Carbine towards the grunts as she ducked behind cover. Suddenly an idea hit the treasure hunter as she pulled out a specific grenade before throwing it towards a group of mercs. As soon as the grenade landed a wave of static washed over two mercs making them pause.

"What was-" The merc was cut off as his head whipped back from a bullet.

"Huh-" The next merc was shot in the neck before hitting the ground, though the next bulled that was about to hit his head bounced off, though he was still dead anyway.

"Huh, so pulse grenades short out shield!" Sydney said with a grin before she throw another one.

Charon was focusing his fire onto the flying drones. They reminded the ghoul a lot of Mr. Gutsys, only able to fly hirer and faster, still, a robot is a robot. At least they weren't as tough as a Sentry Bot.

Pulling out his Magnum Charon shot the glowing eye with precision aim, taking it out. The robot started to jerk around in the air for a few seconds before exploding.

"One down, two to go." Charon said as he pulled out his shotgun before firing.

Fawkes was laughing as he swung his hammer at the Krogan, who blocked the blow with his arm. The Krogan grunted in pain as he felt the full force of the swing but didn't fall. Instead the Krogan turned his shotgun at Fawkes before firing.

The Super Mutant cried in pain as his arm flew back but that's didn't stop him from kicking the Krogan in the chest with enough force to send him on his back. The Krogan was shocked to be kicked with such a force that the wind was knocked out of him. Fawkes used the Krogan shock to raise his hammer and bring it down onto the Krogan's head, a wet crunch soon fallowed.

"You lose!" Fawkes cried out before turning to some of the other mercs, who were staring at him with their jaws dropped. "Ahhh!" The Super Mutant yelled before charging.

Lucifer turned Vengeance on Tooth but was slightly surprised to see the merc leader run behind cover. Tooth pointed his rifle behind cover and managed to hit Lucifer in the arm, throwing his aim off with Vengeance. This gave the merc enough time to stand behind cover and shoot at Lucifer.

"I used to be an Alliance soldier you damn wannabe!" Tooth yelled as he stepped from behind cover and continued to shoot at Lucifer, who raised his armored hand to defend his face. "You think I'm going to lose to some fucking nobody-AAHH!" The merc leader screamed in pain as his arm whipped to the side, a giant hole in his forearm.

"I'm not some nobody." Lucifer said comely as he aimed his Firelance at Tooth as he screamed in pain.

The LW fired up his Jetpack and flew high into the air, getting a shocked look from nearly everyone in the room. Lucifer flew just a few feet away from Tooth as he glared down at him with a wicked grin.

"I'm Lucifer Morningstar!"

As soon as the words left his mouth the LW turned off his jetpack and fell from the air. When Lucifer's feet slammed into the ground right in front of Tooth a large explosion went off, shaking the entire room. Tooth was shredded to pieces as he was caught in the explosion, killing him instantly.

Their was a silent in the air as all the Shark mercs stared at what just happened to their leader. A moment later the rest of the survivors quickly throw their weapons to the ground before running away out the room.

"Do we go after them?" Charon asked as he stood up from behind cover.

"No, we were hired to take out the leader." Lucifer glanced up at the high balcony with a grin. "Or take one of the leader's hostage."

Activating his jetpack Lucifer flew to the top of the balcony before landing safely, without creating an explosion.

"Ge-get back! I'm warning you!" Finn yelled as he held a pistol and aimed it at Lucifer.

The LW raised an eyebrow at the Salarian under his helmet before opening his arms at him. "Then do it, I like to see what that peashooter can do against my armor."

That seemed to make Finn nearly drop his gun as he tried to move back, only to hit a wall. "What... what do you want?" He asked in a scared voice.

Lucifer lowered his arms before stepping forward. "You broke the one rule of Omega." The LW said as he took of his helmet, revealing a wicked grin on his face. "You fucked with Aria."

---

After tying up Finn and grabbing any credits they could Lucifer contacted Elliot to send Reilly and a team to his location to scavenge anything they could from the hideout. At the same time Aria's Batarian came back for pickup.

The shuttle went straight for Afterlife and the whole time Finn was shaking like a leaf. After landing the group made a b-line for Aria, with Finn thrown over Fawkes' shoulder's like a sack of potatoes. Though Lucifer left his Power Armor back at his shuttle and grabbed his black duster.

It didn't take long for the group to make it's way into Afterlife and throw Finn to Aria's feet, much to her pleasure.

"Well, well, one of the leaders of the 'infamous' Space Shark gang." Aria said with a cold grin that nearly made him piss himself. "You sure caused me... trouble."

Lucifer grabbed the Salarian by the arm and pulled him to his feet, nearly tarring his arm off. "As I said, I showed you what I'm made off." The LW said with a grin at the Asari. "So I assume you'll get that ship I need."

Aria just have Lucifer a small grin, though he could tell she was a little annoyed. "I'll keep my end of the bargain, also your bonus." She said while snapping her fingers and a human handed Charon a small metal box. "2000 credits should be fair. Hard currency is harder to track."

Charon looked into the box before nodding his head to Lucifer, who gave Aria a grin. "Well aren't you treating me pretty." He said as he throw the Salarian to one of the guards, who caught him. "I need to arrange for our shuttles to get the slaves here so you can take them to the Citadel."

Aria just waved her hand at Lucifer. "The ship will be here by the time you get back." She said as she looked to the shaking Salarian, who was held by a human guard. "Now, I have some very important questions for you." Aria said as she narrowed her eyes at the Salarian. "Such as how did you find out about the Eclipse's weapon shipment. They almost suspected me of leaking the information, and I don't need that annoyance, but I was one of the few that new about the shipment. So the question is, how did you find out about it?"

Finn's eyes darted around with fear before he looked back at Aria. When he saw the look in her eyes he opened his mouth. "I was told by-"

*Bang*

The Salarian's head whipped back as he fell to the floor dead.

Just as everyone was grabbing their guns someone grabbed Lucifer from behind and held a gun up to his head.

"Alright, nobody moves or I blow the kid's head off!" A Batarian guard yelled as he throw his arm around Lucifer's neck.

Despite the warning everyone aimed their gun at Lucifer and the Batarian, yet he didn't pull the trigger.

Aria glared at the Batarian as she turned to him. "So your the leak Bark." Aria said as she folded her arms. "It's not wise to turn on me."

Bark tighten his arm around Lucifer's throat as the LW raised an eyebrow. "I swear if anyone takes one step I will blow this human's head off!"

"...Oh man, you picked the wrong hostage situation." Lucifer said with a laugh, getting some strange look's from everyone. "One, your dealing with Aria, and despite only knowing her for about a few hours I can tell she would have no problem shooting me to get to you, making the hostage situation void." Now that made the Batarian sweat as Aria let a wicked grin crossed her face. "Second-"

In a flash Lucifer's hand shot up and grabbed the gun in a tight grip over Batarian's hand, though he didn't move the gun away from his head.

The Batarian flinched and nearly pulled the trigger. "What..." He muttered in a shocked tone as everyone's eyes widen a bit.

"You picked me as your 'hostage'." Lucifer said as a mad grin crossed his face. "...Pull the trigger."

The Batarian flinched at the words as everyone stared at Lucifer as if he was crazy, even Aria. "Wh-what the fuck is wrong with you!?" Bark shouted in a shock tone.

A smile crossed Lucifer's face as he glanced back at the Batarian, freaking him out. "I said, 'pull the trigger'." Lucifer stressed he looked at the Batarian from the corner of his eye. "Here, I'll make it easier for you."

Faster then the Batarian could even question Lucifer moved his finger over to the trigger... and pulled.

*Bang*

Lucifer's head whipped to the side as the bullet smacked right into his temple, at the same time he snatched the gun from the Batarian.

Everyone seemed to freeze at Lucifer started to fall to the floor.

But at the last second the LW slammed his foot down onto the floor, stopping his fall.

Everyone's jaws dropped as Lucifer slowly stood up as a small trail of blood flowed from the side of his head. Lucifer reached up to the side of his head and rubbed his hand over the bullet wound. Looking at the gun in his hand Lucifer glanced back at the Batarian who just held him 'hostage' fall on his ass and look at Lucifer with a scared look on his face.

"Your weapon his complete crap, it parley penetrated my skull." Lucifer said with a snort as he throw the gun off to the side.

That Batarian shook at that. "Ho-how did you-"

Bark was cut off when Lucifer grabbed him by the throat and lifted him up with one hand. "Survive getting shot point plank in the head? Like I said, you picked the wrong fucking hostage." Lucifer said in a low tone as a mad grin grow across his face. "See, I might be new to the whole 'mercenary boss' thing, but back home I was not someone you fucked with." Lucifer brought the Batarian an inch to his face and he saw fear in the aliens eyes. "My name is Lucifer Morningstar, but I also went by the Lone Wanderer, Mr. 101, that crazy kid you do not fuck with." Lucifer said as he tighten his grip, making Bark gag. "A lot of people in this galaxy are going to know my name. And they will either respect it, or fear it. But you, you can sleep on it."

Without warning Lucifer head butted the Batarian making a satisfying creak being heard. The LW then throw the Batarian to Aria's feet, who her, along with all of her men, were staring at Lucifer with shocked expressions.

Sydney sighed while rubbing her forehead. "Congratulations boss, you scared the aliens shitless."

Lucifer throw her a friendly grin as he throw his arms open. "What, I needed to show the queen of Omega what I'm capable of in order to get the good jobs."

That seemed to snap Aria out of her stare as she gave a small laugh. "You as crazy as a damn Krogan." She said before jerking her head to one of her guards. "Take this filth away, I want to question him later." She said and the guards quickly did so.

Lucifer grinned as he started to walk down the stares. "I'll see you later Aria, I need to get the people we rescued off my ship and into yours as soon as possible. Their most likely getting stir-crazy." He said before he glanced back and gave her a wink. "See you soon Aria." He said before he and his group started to walk out.

As the four walked out of Afterlife Lucifer's companions looked to him.

"So, how's your head?" Sydney asked with a grin.

Lucifer groaned as he rubbed the side of his head. "Ringing up a fucking storm." He moaned in pain.

Charon just snorted at that. "Well your the one who decided to take a bullet to the head to show your crazy side."

"Or was it more then that." Fawkes said while giving Lucifer a look.

The LW gave his friend a small smile as he nodded her head. "Aria is someone with connections, connections we'll need very soon. I need to show her I'm not some punk that got lucky, I need to show her why people call me the Lone Wanderer."

"But why?" Sydney asked in a concerned voice. "Lucifer, you've got to tell us what is going on here. I held of my questions, but now I got to ask what the hell is going on." Sydney said as she stopped in her tracks, making everyone else stop. "We're on an alien space station filled with humans that don't even seemed faze by any of this, and the real kicker is you don't seem that shock about all of this." She said while narrowing her eyes the LW. "So I'll ask again, what the hell is going on Lucifer?"

Lucifer sighed as he looked Sydney with serious eyes. "Sydney, I promise as soon as we get the slaves we rescued off the Revelation I will tell you and the entire crew our situation, you have my word."

The treasure hunter stared into Lucifer's eyes before she nodded her head. "I'll hold you to that."

Lucifer gave her a weak smirk. "Trust me, there's no way I can hid this for long. I need to tell everyone at once, rip it off like a Band-Aid." He said before he started to move, a serious look in his eyes. "A very bloody Band-Aid."

21/N: This is possible the longest chapter I have ever wrote, and I am sorry for that. I wanted to get out all the relevant lore out of the way but add some action as well, which resulted in this long ass chapter.

Now to clear some stuff up.

1: So some people pointed out how energy weapons do more damage thanks to the heat they produce. I thank those who pointed it out so I can fix it in the story. But I'm pretty sure some shields can block energy weapons, I'm not complete sure.

2: For the lore I went through, I went through the most common and useful information. Also if I messed up on something, please bear with me, their was a shit load of reading and lore.

3: As for Lucifer's 'abilities' such as harden skin and regeneration, I have an explanation for that. The Lone Wanderer has been all over the Capital wasteland, exposed to so much chemicals, radiation, and medicine in such a short time it effected his DNA, mutated it and adapting to the harsh environment. He now has a miner healing factor and stronger skin. Lucifer can recover from bullet and stab wounds, but can die of blood loss or decapitation. His skin his tough to tank some heavy shots, but can still be cut and shot with heavier weapons. His skeleton his practically made of metal for whatever reason and since his limbs can heal over time they are almost unbreakable, to an extent. (I mean hell their are so many ways to increase DR in Fallout 3 they had to put a 85% cap on it.)

Durability: Toughness/Rank 3 + Adamantium Skeleton + Barkskin + Pitt Fighter + Superior Defender + Rad Regeneration + Ant Might + Nerd Rage + Survival Expert = Bullet Proof

Healing: Solar Power + Life Giver + Fast Metabolism + Hematophage + Rad Regeneration = Healing Factor

4: I don't know if anyone noticed, but the Assault Carbine I gave Sydney was not in Fallout 3, but New Vegas. See I feel like the Zeta Being would be collecting a bunch of earth stuff, such as weapons. So I might intradoses other weapons from other fallout games into this story, tough Lucifer will keep to his gear.

5: The reason I picked Lucifer's mercenary group to be called Lion's Pride was for a few reasons. 1, I felt Lion's Pride is a much better name for a mercenary group then Regulators or some other name I would come up with. I also wanted the group's name to have meaning to the LW, and Lyon's Pride was the main group that took back the Jefferson Memorial. So Lion's Pride is the name of Lucifer's group.

Hope I covered all the major questions, and sorry this chapter is so long.
