The room was silent as a Solar Empire cop got down to one knee and looked at the body on the futon. The female human was dead, no blood, no wounds nothing. Her eyes where blank as if nothing was there. Something was wrong, and this wasn't going to be good news to Sina Jack. The human laying on the bed, was one of her disciples. While the temper of the Sina tended to be calm, but if she knew about this then there would be a riot.
The turian sighed, this was a meeting he was not looking forward to.
OOOOO
Terran command wasn't just one building, but four with three of the buildings that were set in a circle formation but split. The three buildings where placed around a central tower that was central command while the other three buildings dealt with the military, fleet and intelligence. They were connected via bridges so that they could communicate with the other branches. Inside central command, was a large briefing room with dozens of Captains, commanders and other higher ranked officers sat talking.
Several of them, however, were from the Krogan faction and Oda's faction as well. The fact there was no lower ranked officers made it clear that this was going to be a classified briefing. But for now, they talked. Soon enough Ashley and Liara walked in and the lights dimmed. But they still shined down on the stage as Ashley took the podium.
"Welcome all, I understand how sudden this is, but this is important. That being said, this briefing is classified," she said in a deep hard tone. "Any word of this to lower ranked soldiers will lead to a court martial,"
The officers just looked to one another but said nothing as the screen turned on showing an image of the Thorian. "This is the Thorian, a plant that took control of Zhu's hope during Shepard's search for Seren," the image then changes to an image of something resembling a sperm like cell but with multiple tails. "This is a Throian spore, it was released by the plant to control people," the image changed again to a human brain with the spore attached. "Multiple spores can be released by the Thorian at one time, and each one will attach itself to the brain. This allows the plant to control the person in question,"
A hand rose up from one of the asari commanders. "Isn't this similar to that earth plant… oh what's the name… some old earth language… Ophiocordyceps?" she asked.
"You mean the zombie fungus?" another commander asked.
"Yeah, the one that controls ants," she confirmed.
Ash looked to Liara who just shrugged. "Yes, similar to the zombie fungus. But this was the one that we encountered around 4 years ago. This is the Thorian spore now," the image change to something resembling the pervious sperm like image but this time it had four tales on both sides. "This is what it looks like now, it cannot be detected and our pervious countermeasure doesn't work. What's more is that unlike before, when the Throian just controlled the person's body, the mind is also under control. Like a hive mind,"
As she spoke a man in an intelligence uniform walked up to Ashley and whispered something in her ear. Her face sank as she looked to him and whispered something only for the officer to nod.
"Unfortunately, something has come up and I will leave the rest of the briefing to Liara," she said before stepping down and following the officer.
Liara took the stand and continued on with the briefing. She would have to ask later.
OOOOO
Jack sat next to the body of her dead disciple. She sat crossed legged with her hands held together in a silent prayer and prayer beads hanging from her hands. Her eyes were closed in silent prayer with incense waving about the air. Her time with that asari sect made her into a very religious woman, but that did little to change her personality. Bowing her head, she then opened her eyes and placed the prayer beads onto the disciple's bosom.
But as she did, she then noticed something. A red mark on her ribs. Reaching over she pulled the cloth down and looked at a crudely painted red skull with a cross behind it and a sword pointing down. She covered it up before she stood and walked out of the building.
Two of her disciples waited outside for her. "Get preparations ready for the funeral, and inform her next of kin," she said before walking back to the temple.
She entered and took her place at the front of the goddess statue. Sitting down and closing her eyes she began to pray for a long time. She knew what that skull meant, and what happened to her disciple. But she wasn't ready to tell the rest of her students. Hours passed by before the sound of the doors opening behind her met her ears. Pressing her hands together she bowed and stood before turning to see Ashley walk into temple after bowing.
"Jack you called, you said it maybe the ardat yakshi?" she asked quickly.
Jack nodded and lead Ash into her office. "Tea?" she offered but the marine politely refused. "One of my disciples was found dead earlier today. There were no visible wounds, no position, nothing. But they did detect a brain haemorrhage from an overloaded nervous system. I have heard about them, but never seen them," she said as she poured a cup of tea and the two sat.
Ashley nodded. "There are only there, one I know is dead. I killed her myself,"
"That just leaves two then," Jack said as she took a sip. "But we may have a problem," she poured some grain onto the table and made the skull emblem she saw on the disciple. "I have seen this only once, when earth was attacked by that scavenger group,"
"Korne," Ashley muttered. "The so-called blood god,"
"It would appear that it is no longer a scavenger cult,"
"And an ardat yakshi is a member, who is possibly in my temple,"
Ashley sighed in annoyance and wished that Samara was still alive. But then a thought came to her, Kolyat, Thanes son, if she could find him then maybe.
"Keep the asari on lockdown," Ashley said quickly make sure they don't leave their rooms. "Tell them what's happened, and if someone moves,"
Jack nodded. "They are likely the ardat yakshi. But what if no one moves?"
"Then they'll have to deal with an assassin," Ashley smiled.
OOOOO
"He will like this?" Jun'li asked as she looked at herself in the mirror.
The Xia wasn't comfortable with this new style of clothing. She wore a fishnet bodysuit with a corset around her stomach. Her crotch and breasts however were not encased by the bodysuit but hung out.
"He'll like them," Trevos said with a smile as she patted Jun on the shoulder. "After all Miranda got them for us,"
The asari politician wore a more revealing outfit with her legs in stockings which was accompanied by a black bra and panties. John soon walked in and looked at the two who were waiting on the bed.
"Did Miranda set you up to this?" he asked.
"Yes," Trevos said, "Besides you've been stressed and you need to consummate your new harem members,"
Jun's ears twitched a little with embarrassment. "Well, I cannot argue with that," he said as he approached while stripping down.
Jun just stared at the human who would soon conquer her body. She did not expect him to be so, muscular and buff. Instinctively her body began to quiver making herself ready for sex. John climbed onto the bed and locked lips with Jun who embraced the commander as the two made out. Trevos joined into the kissing as well while her fingers slid into her panties and began to play with herself.
John then moved down to the Xia's breast and began to suck on the nipple. Jun moaned in a pleasure she had never felt before. She never had sex before, as a warrior she was meant to save herself for the strongest warrior. Now she would give herself to him fully. She gasped as he pulled her panties off and moved down to lick her pussy while Trevos locked lips with the exotic alien.
She wasn't prepared for this; the Xia had no sexual education for this. No idea what to expect, she was just told that when it happens, to just go with it. And that is wat she did now as her body shook with pleasure as John licked her. This new experience was exciting as she shook with pleasure. Once she was sufficiently wet John pulled away and pulled off his boxers making Xia look at the human's manhood with embarrassment and shock.
'Are all humans like this?' she asked herself as he positioned himself in front of her pussy.
Her breaths deepened as she watched his member enter her hole. With each millimetre that entered her sparks of pleasure rippled though her body like a lighting bolt. Once it was fully inside, she threw her head back as her body responded with a pleasure she had never felt before. Her mind buzzed with the pleasure which her body was responding too. She couldn't think straight, all she could focus on was the pleasure as the cock began to move inside her.
"Looks like we have a virgin," Trevos smiled as she moved to suck on Xia's nipple.
John began to move slowly at first but slowly began to pick up speed. With each thrust he made Jun's body quivered in response. Xia biology, wasn't the same as humans or asari. When the body detects heighted pleasure in a female an egg descends from it's holding place and into the womb ready for fertilisation. An unconscious natural function, ready for reproduction.
John picked up speed making the Xia moan louder as she broke the kiss with Trevos and cry out in nothing but pleasure in her native language. John then stopped as he came and pumped sperm into Jun. She cried out as she came as well and her egg was fertilised. Jun sighed with satisfaction as her body relaxed from the pleasure as John turned to Trevos.
OOOOO
Jack sat in front of the goddess statue; she was meant to be praying but instead she remembered something. That Korne skull had brought back some recent unpleasant memories.
OOOOO a week after the destruction of the replicants.
Jack and her disciples gathered around a pyre with mummified bodies of the dead disciples piled in a circular formation. They spoke in an old asari language while praying. It didn't take long until they stopped and Jack picked up a fire torch before she approached the pyre and dropped it onto the pyre. It burst into flames burning the bodies of the dead. Jack left while a few others stayed to pay their respects.
Being in charge of the temple, Jack her own rites to deal with for the dead. But before she could begin a human male walked in.
"What was that?" he asked making her look to him.
"What?" she asked trying to hide her anger.
"What was that?" he asked as he approached her. "That pathetic excuse for a funeral. No speech, no words, no nothing! Just prayer and setting their bodies to the fire? What the hell is wrong with you?"
"I did what I was meant to do," she replied.
"Don't give me that bullcrap, they died for nothing. You just followed what that Shepard told you to do!" he spat. "They died because of him,"
"They died, because they volunteered to fight, not because I ordered them to," Jack shot back. "We are not soldiers; we are defenders of people. We don't throw the first punch, but we respond to that punch,"
"How does that make any sense?" he asked. "We fight but we don't'? Don't you see the contradiction?"
"I don't see any contradiction, but you seem to. Your anger seems to think that there is one," she noticed. "Anger clouds your…"
"Don't give me that Jedi bullshit," he shot with anger. "I know what I'm talking about, my mind is not clouded. Who made you ruler of this temple? Who made you decided that you speak for a fictional goddess,"
"Have a care of what you say next," Jack said as she approached him. "I made no such claims, I simply took the role that was handed to me by the group who formed this temple. But I never claimed I speak for the goddess, that is for wiser heads than mine,"
"Then maybe it's time for someone else to take control," he said.
"You?" she asked with an amused smirk. "And what will you do?"
He said nothing but just looked at her. "Spread the word of Korne, the blood god,"
"Like that will ever happen," Jack said as she turned to face the statue and sat down. "Now leave," Before she could do anything, she ducked from a biotic blast delivered by the disciple. "You dare…" she hissed.
"You will be the first sacrifice to Korne," he declared.
Jack reacted quickly and charged in before kicking him outside. Several of the disciples came out wondering what was happening. Some of them brought their staffs and watched as Jack stepped out of the temple, her body charged with biotic energy.
"You dare attack me? In my temple?" she asked.
The disciples began to mutter silently as they watched. "I dare, you are not worthy of training us!" he said as he stood and charged up. "Only Korne can teach us!" he was blasted by a disciple.
That created a large burn on the left side of his face. "You will not teach us anything!" declared an asari disciple.
The traitorous disciple looked around. "Well then, it looks like I'm not waned here. Fuck you all then," he said before walking off.
OOOOO present
Jack sighed; she shouldn't have let him go. But it seemed now that he would have a new sect of his own. All she could do now is wait.
