Slayer Gothic - Wishverse 2
Part 10
Magic Shop. Sunnydale.
In the timeline of the television show, Kendra Young was a Slayer from Jamaica who was activated in 1997 after Buffy Summers' temporary death at the hands of the Master who drowned her in his lair. Kendra was trained by her Watcher Sam Zabuto, from a very young age, and because of this Kendra was completely dedicated to her calling very much unlike the Buffy Summers of that world. She was an ally to the Scooby Gang in battling the vampires known as Spike and Drusilla.
Kendra Young's parents gave her up for Slayer training at a very early age after she was identified as a Potential Slayer, and she trained under the guidance of the Watcher Sam Zabuto. By the time of her activation, Kendra couldn't even remember who her parents were but she was allowed to see pictures of them.
Zabuto was very strict with his charge, forbidding her from enjoying a social or romantic life, which he taught her would distract her from her duties as the Slayer. Kendra became fully versed in the Slayer Handbook and fighting techniques, and despite her rigid upbringing, she did own a trusty stake which she named Mr Pointy.
Sometime after Kendra was activated as a slayer, her Watcher sent her to Sunnydale to stop the rise of Drusilla, who at the time was going to be restored to health by Spike, and again Kendra returned to Sunnydale to help stop Angelus from awakening a demon who could swallow up a whole world, she died fighting some vampires, during that battle, she was killed by Drusilla.
The Kendra of this timeline, who Buffy and I were meeting now at the Magic Shop. This business my Watcher and I jointly owned, had become the Watcher hang out since Giles had quit his job at the High School so as to manage this place with Wesely. Buffy and I normally stopped here before going on our late evening patrols of Sunnydale.
That was an activity we had to be more careful with these days due to the commandos in town who'd started sending out even more teams since their leader had died. I suspected that they had a new military leader at their base who was more interested in hunting down and containing or killing the demons than in studying in them, and this suited me just fine as that meant very little chance of Adam ever making an appearance.
Since this version of Kendra was very loyal to the Watchers, and they the proper Slayer for this world, I wouldn't be introducing her to my harem, she'd feel as if she had to report on me, and the Council would never let me claim another Slayer. I didn't wish to antagonise that group as they did give Buffy and I a lot of leeway in how we ran our operations here in Sunnydale as well as in LA.
"So what brings you to California?" I asked Mr Zabuto.
Neither Buffy or I had been granted any warnings by the Powers That Be via a prophetic dream, and Doyle hadn't called me recently about any visions, but those weren't the only ways that information about the future could be shared with me. Tara was somewhat killed with Tarot card readings, it was just that they didn't tend to give much in the way of detail. It would be wise of me to invest some time and effort into finding more ways to predict the future so that I would not be surprised by anything like whatever this was.
"Mr Zabuto is a Seer of sorts" Wesely informed me "and recently he had a vision involving a dark power rising her in Sunnydale".
The dark-skinned Watcher supplied some more details.
"In my mind, I saw a pale hand with a strange-looking ring on its finger," he said.
Given the timing, I suspected that this had to do with Spike's search for the Gem of Amara, that takes place in the early parts of Season Four, and Spike was dangerous enough if he had Drullisa with him, who could foresee events yet to happen, we could be real in trouble. Sure we had massive advantages in terms of firepower, armour and magic, but with the Watcher's and a new Slayer here in town, we were limited in what resource we could bring against the vampires. I would have to handle this situation carefully.
"Buffy and Damien should patrol more than usual tonight" Giles was now saying "I knew you've been avoiding these commandos, however, this is not the time to be too timid".
He was right, I did need to be bold for this.
"Kendra, my Slayer, should join you" the guest Watcher stated.
This could be a problem.
"I think we should patrol in two groups so to cover more ground" I suggested to the Watchers, "Buffy can patrol with Kendra, and I'll go with a couple of friends of mine".
Zaburto looked as if he didn't approve.
"Civilians?" he asked.
Well, not exactly.
"I know a couple of witches," I told Kendra's Watcher "They help me out with spells when I need them, and we might need them if something big is coming".
Giles stepped between myself and Zabuto, and I figured that he was going to act as if he was in charge around here.
"A good idea, Damien," he said, "Buffy can show Kendra around the town, help her to get the lay of the land as it were, while you and your friends investigate any strange happenings".
With that decided Buffy headed over to where Kendra was standing while I left to return to the Crawford Street Mansion.

Cemeteries. Sunnydale.
Harriet, Tara, Hermoine, Luna and I moved through the graveyard of the town, and while we might look like a group of harmless teenagers out for a late-night walk this couldn't be further from the truth.
I was wearing my patrol outfit, an outfit with a lot of magic woven into, as for the witches, they carried their wands and wore dragonhide jackets that I had provided for them. None of us needed much protection since we how had ear studs and rings that granted us invulnerability as well as super strength. However, these enchantments were no excuse to stop being careful.
Luna and Hermoine had both agreed to spend some time with my group, wanting to see more of what was to offer if they joined my harem. The trip to Blackreach had been very interesting, but it also been violent at times, and that had been off-putting to the two young wand-wavers, who simply weren't used to such things. Harriet due to her experiences even before she met me, understood that sometimes it was killed or be killed.
"According to the Item Finder the Gem is here," I said while gesturing at a tomb.
Entering the tomb I scanned the area with a tricorder, keeping my other hand busy holding a plasma pistol, and found that there was a level lower of this tomb. Spike and any vampire minions he had with him would be digging up into that level using one of many cave systems in this town. If they were close I didn't know as tricorders detect life signs and vampires don't have any. My Slayer senses were much more helpful with that and I didn't think that we were in any danger.
After finding a trap door, I jumped down with the four witches soon following behind me, they used magic to slow their falls rather than risk their chances with the rotten wooden ladder. This and the sheer number of cobwebs around made it clear to us that no one had been down here in a very long time.
"Any spells you know that can clean all this up?" I asked the wand-wavers.
Rather than wave her wand, Harriet summoned Dobby the House Elf.
"Her ladyship should not be a horrible place like this" Dobby protested.
He snapped his fingers and it was if all the decay began to reverse, and before long a couple of old fashioned wooden torches began to provide us with a bit more light. The sheer power of House Elves never ceased to impress me, nor did their devotion, as Dobby vanished only to re-appear a moment later with a clothes brush, that he used to brush Harriet down. Of course, she didn't accept this level of subservience and soon found a way to get Dobby to stop and she then convinced the House Elf to go clean somewhere else.
As for me, I began to look around at all the shiny stuff. I had no idea if this was the treasure we were supposed to be looking for was with all this stuff, as there was a lot of gold and silver down here.
"We're in. Now, what's the golden rule of treasure hunting?" I asked of my magical companions.
Luna and Hermoine didn't have any idea what I was talking about. As for Harriet and Tara, they both gave me a puzzled look, and this made sense as I'd never told them the rules for this sort of situation, and in fact, I didn't really have any, and this was somewhat of an oversight made by me.
"Check for traps?" Tara asked.
"Be prepared for some giant killer snakes and three-headed dogs?" Harriet questioned.
Sometimes it was easy for me to forget that Harriet Potter had some experience with dealing with the weird crap that Slayer's had to put up with.
"Don't touch anything until after it's been checked for curses" I explained to the group "The magic of this world isn't flashes and bangs, it can be subtle, and very dangerous. We'll need to have all of this checked for curses before dividing in between the whole group".
Ahsoka might protest about me giving her material wealth, but if she did I'd just advise her to sell what I gave her and give the money to charity if it made her feel better. The rest of my harem wouldn't care as much, and given that we had replicators and access to a zombie world that we could loot as much as we wanted, then treasure didn't matter much, however, most of the girls still liked it when I gave them shiny things.
"Do we get a share?" asked Luna.
If my understanding of the value of gold within the Wizarding world was correct, then the sheer amount of treasure here could equal the value of contents in some vaults of old pureblood families, and if it didn't I could always add to the jackpot with gold recovered from elsewhere.
"Everyone gets a share of the loot" I informed the cute little blond "Even if you don't join up you'll get enough from this mission alone to open up your own vault at Gringotts when you go home".
Thinking on it seemed likely that those Goblins would be best qualified to sort through of all this, to deal with any cursed objects, and to put a cash value on the piles of treasure around us. They employed curse breaks, after all, might as well give them something to do.
"Someone summon the ring for me" I requested "it's called the Gem of Amarra".
As soon as it moved towards one of the witches I'd be able to catch it. Then I could take it to the Watchers and claim that an informer told me about the ring. From there it would be easy to accept that I was able to locate the ring using my knowledge of the town, my other informers, and locator spells done by the witches that the Watchers knew about. What happened to the ring after that would be up to them, I'd just press for it to be destroyed.
"Accio Gem of Amarra," Hermione said after taking out her wand.
After I grabbed the object of our quest I pocketed it and then watched as Harriet took out a few tiny chests, enlarged them and used magic again to fill them.
"I'll open a portal to the hotel you can all go through," I told the girls "I need to take this ring to the Watchers before I call it a night".

Magic Box. Sunnydale.
"This seems to genuine," said Giles as he inspected the artefact that Damien had just dropped off "and if it the Gem of Amara then it is a very good thing that we have it".
From what they'd been able to find out so far the Gem of Amara was a magical ring that would grant a vampire wearer complete invulnerability to all their usual weaknesses, such as staking, sunlight, the cross, holy water and maybe even removal of the head.
"According to this" Wesely said to others as he held up an old book "there was a great deal of interest in the Gem of Amara during the 10th century. Questing vampires combed the Earth seeking its location, but no one found it, and it was concluded that the Gem had never existed. Although the author of this book mentions that he found a vague reference to the artefact that mentioned that the Gem resided in the "valley of the sun", in a sealed underground crypt".
Giles sipped his cooling tea.
"Sunnydale" he then said, "Dale is another world for a valley and we're hardly lacking for crypts around here. Spike and Drusilla must have drawn the same connection".
Zabuto while pleased with this discovery, found it somewhat odd.
"How did this boy find the Gem so quickly?" he wondered.
Giles sipped his tea again before replying.
"The town has twelve graveyards, but Buffy and Damien patrol them often enough to have to a good idea of what is in each of the crypts," the Watcher told his peer "and he's already collected a number of informants. One of them must have some knowledge of what brought William the Bloody and his paramour to town".
There were important matters than that to discuss.
"What are we going to do with the Gem?" Wesely enquired "Having it here is painting us as targets for every vampire in the world if they ever find out about it".
This was a concern.
"I will take to our Headquarters in London" Mr Zabuto decided "I will leave first thing in the morning and travel by plane, a team of Watchers can meet me in London, and Kendra can protect the Gem until then. They have been protecting artefacts such as the gem for centuries".
Giles took a moment to clean his glasses. An action that helped him think.
"If word gets out that the Gem has left this country, Spike and Drusilla might simply leave, or they may stay, will you return with Kendra to assist us?" the former librarian asked.
Zabuto didn't know.
"I shall leave that up to the council" he replied.

Hotel. LA.
"Care for some company?" Morrigan asked me.
I was in my room, just watching something on television, having come back from a quick mission in Sunnydale that involved finding a special gem, and I'd not so long ago gotten out of the shower.
As we talked about nothing of any importance Morrigan began to slowly play with the necklace that hung around her long slender neck, an action that soon brought my attention to her breasts, just as she wished it to.
"Have you given more thought to what we have discussed before?" Morrigan questioned.
I didn't need her to explain what she was talking about. I'd even sent her to the college of Winterhold for a while, and I intended to send her back, just so she couldn't keep nagging me about this.
"Oh your mother," I said, "I was wondering when you bring her up, again".
The Witch of the Wilds began to play with her hair. Her attempts to flirt with me were very transparent.
"If my mother were to take over my body, we would no longer be able to enjoy each other" Morrigan argued, "But if you destroy her then I will be able to serve you without needing to look over my shoulder, and I have another benefit to offer you".
Considering that I would soon have a starship I might just fly to the Dragon Age Universe and bombard Flemeth's hut from orbit. Morrigan had some understanding of space travel by now, she was smart enough to grasp that sort of thing after getting some time to adapt to a changing world view, and if Flemeth was killed that was no concern of mine. I just hadn't wanted to make a needless enemy, but now I could do so without endangering myself as even when turned into a dragon Morrigan's mother couldn't harm a ship in space.
"What kind of benefits?" I wondered.
I already had her in my harem, so it didn't seem as if she had anything else to give me.
"Oh, I see. We are at the negotiation stage" Morrigan said, sounding playful.
It seemed that way.
"I already have you" I pointed out.
Morrigan reached into a pouch on her belt and took out a collar. One clearly made to be worn decoratively by a human woman.
"I requested Lenore to make this for me and not to tell you about it," Morrigan told me "It is a Collar of Submission. I've read about such items, and Lenore was able to make me one rather easily since they have similar things in her world".
She handed me the collar.
"It will compel me to follow your commands" she explained "it can be resisted by a strong will, so I will say throw myself off a cliff if you order it, but as long as the order is not too extreme I will follow it if the collar is on me. Think of it as a symbol of authority over me that I will grant to you once my mother has been destroyed. You have me in your harem, and I use my talents to aid you, but I could serve you much better, and I imagine you'd like to see me with other members of your harem. If you place this collar on me, you would be able to command to do such things".
Morrigan must fear to lose her body to her mother far more than anything else if she was willing to give anyone this sort of power over her, and if the collar didn't allow total control then it would be better than falling under her mother's sway. Plus there would come a day when I would remove it, and given the way that things were progressing I would soon find a way to my companions immortal or close to it, as well as extremely powerful people, so a few years serving me wouldn't seem like such a big deal to Morrigan.
"I'll deal with your mother" I promised.
Morrigan took the collar, putting it away, and then stood up before moving to stand in front of me.
"Consider this a taste of my submission," she said, "Let me remind of what you might lose".
She stood up and let down her dress showing her back to me and the dress dropped down to the floor, and this allowed her to show off her ass. I reached forward so that I could squeeze her butt cheeks together, and pry them apart at will.
She simply stood still and let me do as I pleased, showing me that her body was and could be for a very long time to come, mine to do with as I pleased. When I stopped touching her ass she turned around and was now showing me her hairless and wet pussy, as well as her breasts. Morrigan had a few tattoos, magical ones, that along with her strange eyes, made her more exotic in appearance.
"Do you like what you see?" Morrigan wondered "You've secured my services in the bedroom, but you could possess this body. Mark it with your name, perhaps?".
I would not mind doing that at all.
"Get on your knees. So me how you'd serve your master" I ordered.
Morrigan obediently dropped down to her knees. She then looked up at me briefly, as she freed my cock, before spreading her lips and kissing the head of dick very gently. After that, her purple coloured lips parted, and her tongue began licking the tip of my cock before it began to slide in between her lips. As it did she started sucking on the tip of my cock.
While her tongue worked its wonders her surprisingly delicate hands, they were remarkable soft for someone who'd lived a hard life, took hold of my balls and very gently rubbed them. She continued doing that as took more and more of my man meat into her warm and welcoming mouth.
Wanting more I took Morrigan's head, forcing it further down further as she continued to suck me off. Her warm mouth felt very good and the feeling began to get even better as her head began to bob up and down as much as it could with me holding on to it. She very talented at this and I'd fucked her mouth like it was a cunt more than once, she enjoyed it when I did.
Knowing this I took Morrigan's head and forced it down to the base of my shaft. She gagged for a moment and then relaxed enough so that when I finished she wouldn't choke on what I wanted her to swallow. She already knew better than to waste a single drop of my cum.
When the time came I spurted my seed down Morrigan's throat she took it all and kept up eye contact with me. Only when she was sure I'd finished did she move her head back and address me.
"Such force" she commented, "Only a powerful man such as yourself could ever hope to tame me".
She was flattering me so as to get what she wanted, but she wasn't lying, at least not totally, and I did wish to control her, it would be very sexy if she consented to this by wearing the collar.
"As soon as the Jovis is ready I'll deal with your mother" I promised again.

Hotel. LA.
Lenore's workshop was an interesting mix of a place. Parts of it belonged in a forge, while other parts, such as the sowing machines seemed much more modern. Her tools ranged from hammers to nails guns to knitting needles, as well as implements I could only guess at the purpose for. This space also included arrangements of powders, beads, piles of cloth, strips of leather, gemstones and bars of many different kinds of metal. All of which got used as Lenore did her enchanting work.
Right now she working on an outfit for Buffy. Something that she'd claimed might be worn by a fighting type pokegirl in Lenore's world. It consisted of a leather top, that didn't cover up much at all, a very short leather skirt as well as a belt, with a knife sheath that held a 7-inch mithril knife, that was attached at the belt. The outfit also included gauntlets, kneepads, high boots, and a scabbard for a sword that would be worn on the back.
Buffy looked quite good in it all things considered, and while it didn't appear as if it would offer much protection, with the new enchanted items, ear studs that granted super strength (not that Buffy or I needed that) and invulnerability then armour didn't matter as much as it used to as long as it protected somewhat from magic, which this armour would since the leather armour was mostly dragonhide, and its anti-magic properties didn't depend that much on actually covering anything. Although it did when you wanted it to protect against physical attacks.
"I styled it after a character I saw on the television," she told me.
Most likely Callisto from the Xena Warrior Princess show. Buffy did suit the crazy blonde's style rather well.
"I wouldn't this wear this on patrol," Buffy told me "I have a different outfit for that.
Like me, my fellow Slayer had a patrol outfit. Hers was made up leather trousers, a white silk top, bracers and dragon hide jacket, as well as a belt and shoes that were all enchanted to help her when it came to killing monsters. Even the bra and panties she would wear on patrol had enchantments woven into them as they were made.
"I figured that I'd wear this outfit when we go to magical worlds," Buffy said next, "You need a badass looking harem".
There were places in the multiverse where the locals were so used to having strange visitors that even in this outfit the young Miss Summers would not raise any eyebrows. Elsewhere she would, and that made glad that she had other outfits to wear.
"I've been making you some more collars of submission for your harem" Lenore let me know "I hope you'll collar me soon".
Seeing no reason not to I put one on the pokegirl and this made her so happy than she pounced on me, deciding that it was time for a taming even with Buffy watching, not that my fellow Slayer cared much.

The Jovis. Bajoran System.
"So this ship will be invisible to radar and telescopes?" I was asked.
As it turned out the technology to keep a vessel such as this off the detection systems of pre-warp civilizations was pretty common and the Federation shared it willingly since this helped prevent unwanted contacts with pre-warp cultures. This made sense since the Federation did study such cultures and would want to do so without being detected.
In the show that depended on the plot more than anything else, but since my ship wasn't the called the Enterprise I didn't worry much about that and I didn't understand how this technology worked, I only knew that the tech would keep working as long as we remained in a high orbit, if we entered the atmosphere then we would be detected by 20th/21st century Earth technology.
"Now will you commit to my harem?" I asked Kaylee.
I could see the young human woman, from my seat on the bridge, which I got to sit in since I was the captain, as she studied the systems of this system, trying to figure them out. The asari and quarian crew for the ship were also doing this. The human engineer was currently looking over some readouts that informed whoever viewed them about the status of the engines.
"You bet I will!" Kaylee almost yelled
Everyone else on the bridge did their best to ignore that outburst, but a few of them smiled as they watched a happy looking Kaylee come over to sit on my lap.
"I can't wait to get this ship out into space," she said next.
She'd have to wait.
"Before we take the Jovis anywhere I want to install a holodeck so that no one on the ship gets bored" I informed the pleased looking human woman "That shouldn't take too long as I arranged an auction to sell off some of the dwarven stuff we found in Blackreach".
Not only were the Dwarven tools, plates, cutlery, and decorations made from a material that couldn't be replicated, something that gave them value in a society with replicators and this must be because of some sort alchemy having been involved in the creation of the metal, they were from a totally different universe, and this could be proven with something called a quantum scan, and this added to the value of the artefacts.
Some of the money and the items would be kept by my harem and crew, who wouldn't be with me forever and so I wanted them to have a nice nest egg available for when they moved on, but most of the profits would be going to having a holosuite installed on this ship. The Starfleet techs would do the work for free, however, I would need to pay for the parts to be delivered to the station. Plus my crew needed to learn to maintain and repair these systems so that I didn't have to keep returning to Deep Space Nine to make use of their engineers. At least not any more than we had to.
"We can still visit new places using the Outrider" I reminded Kaylee when she started to look down.
Before she could reply to this Ahsoka entered the bridge, and I noticed that she held a bit of tech in her hands.
"I think this is a tracking device," she said to me as she came over to my chair "Maybe someone wants to keep an eye on you".
It wouldn't surprise me at all that some group like Section 31 or the Cardassian Obsidian Order were interested in tracking my ship. This device might start scanning if I opened any portals and feed that information to whoever had placed this device.
"Search the ship for any more of these things" I ordered "But don't destroy them yet. Just before we leave this dimension in this ship we can remove them so no one learns anything. Then we'll have to be more careful on any return trips".
From now on we'd all have to limit our time on the station as best we could, and make that no one from outside this universe went anywhere alone as I didn't want anyone to be kidnapped. The Cardassians wouldn't hesitate to torture any on for information, and Section 31 would just be more clever about it.
"The auction will take a few days, and the work will also take a few days," I told my companions "The Starfleet engineers can work really fast and I have ways of motivating them".
Since the Federation types didn't care for money the best way to get them to put more effort into something was to appeal to their desire to help others. Such as donating a generous amount to the Bajoran war orphans fun in exchange for their hard work. That way they'd feel bad if they didn't do their very best and a lot of the engineers were Bajorans.
"So we should be ready to go in about a week" I let everyone know.
Our first stop would be the Dragon Age world, and from high orbit, I'd destroy Flemeth's hut, and perhaps her along with it.
"I have an idea for a mission," Ahsoka told me before handing me a Star Trek type datapad.
Horizon's population is in flux. A Collector attack in 2185 inflicted significant casualties, but refugees have been streaming to the planet since the Reaper invasion began. Since many landed there illegally, there is no way to accurately track the population. Although many colonists resent the newcomers, others have embraced Horizon's new role. Advertisements for "Sanctuary," its main refugee centre, were something seen while last on the Citadel.
Sanctuary lured people in with the promise of shelter from the Reaper war. With all signal activity in the surrounding region of space being actively interfered with, the real reason Sanctuary has stayed off the Reapers' radar until late in the war, because it was actually a Cerberus operation experimenting in converting refugees into husks for their studies in indoctrination.
The Reapers invade only when Cerberus has made headway into co-opting the Reapers' control over their creatures, although by then the Sanctuary sham has been exposed to the galaxy at large due to Commander Shepard's interference. Most of Horizon's population that remained after the Collector attack went to their fates at Sanctuary.
"It might not be too late to save a few refuges if we take the Outrider" Ahsoka said to me.
Didn't seem worth the risk to me given that the last time we'd seen the Citadel the Reapers had been attacking the space station.
"We'd only be able to save a few dozen at most" I pointed out "and that's assuming anyone is still alive".
Ahsoka seemed adamant about this.
"Then let's save a few dozen people" she insisted "If it's too dangerous we can fly away so all it will cost is a little time and fuel".
She was giving me a soulful look right now that was very hard.
"Okay, we'll go," I said, giving in.
Hopefully, this wouldn't get me turned into a human slushie and pumped in a proto-Reaper.

Hotel. LA.
In the part of the hotel which had been magically expanded and then turned into a workshop that contained many kinds of technology from across the multiverse, two women worked on a very important project while Damien watched with unneeded nervousness.
"I really hope you two know what you are doing," the male Slayer said.
Fred didn't understand what the big deal was. She was more than capable of making sure that this nuclear device could be employed safely in battle. The device wasn't even that large, barely any taller than Kaylee and Fred, the two women working on it as such they only needed to use step ladders in order to reach some parts.
"Relax, sweetie" Fred assured her lover "it's far more likely not to off when we want it to than it is to go off accidentally".
Kaylee was also uncovered. Compared to the technology she often worked with this device was primitive, yet it could be quite deadly if used correctly. The idea that Damien had come up was actually rather clever, but he lacked the skills to make use of his idea, that was why he needed Fred and Kaylee.
"We know that kinetic barriers don't stop transporters we tested it" assured Kaylee.
A kinetic barrier uses mass effect fields to reduce the mass of incoming projectiles, allowing spaceships to protect themselves from mass accelerator weapons. Kinetic barriers can also act as force fields: they can be used to retain atmosphere while the cargo bay doors are open, allowing shuttles to pass through unimpeded, or they can be configured to block all solid objects of a certain speed or slower from passing through. However, they did not stop transporter beams, at least not ones that had been modified correctly.
"And if it did explode you'd die without feeling a thing," Fred told Damien.
For some reason that didn't comfort him.
"What about radiation?" he asked.
The two women had safety gear and ways of measuring radiation as well as supplies of Rad-X and Rad Away from the Fallout universe. Which they shouldn't need since the radioactive material was secured.
"It will be fine" Kaylee promised "Go to bed and when we're done we'll start work on the next bomb you'll steal for us. So that when you go on your next mission to the Mass Effect verse and you run into any Reapers you'll be able to blow them up".
Lacking anything better to do the Slayer left, and the two very smart women got on with their work.
