(*Disclaimer from the author: I apologize for the very long awaited arrival for this chapter and the others that are going to follow. Life and such with its obstacles.. anyway, thank you all for your patience. Please enjoy!*)

The Pathfinder slowly shifted his eyes back and forth making his glances over each of the different figures fully clad in the Tri'sar-fashioned armors. Feeling a bead of sweat quickly race down the side of his temple Scott quickly diverted a return look around the clear view windows into the surrounding span of space filled with motionless silver Ethar-Juson crafts. Scott Ryder drew the conclusion into his private thoughts, 'For whatever reason I feel like all of the eyes from the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy have turned on me. I wonder if this is similar to how dad felt when all of the Milky Way had looked up to him and Jien Garson when the first announcement came through about the Andromeda Initiative... or maybe it's just nerves.'

Cora Harper's voice had leaned closer and expressed her concern in a whisper behind the Initiative Pathfinder, "You got this, Ryder?"

The human Pathfinder spun his head to give brief glimpse over his shoulder toward Lieutenant Harper. Scott offered a light shrug and responded in assured response with a sly smirk, "Oh yeah, I got this." Pathfinder Ryder returned his focus forward onto the oddity of alien species standing in silent waiting. He quietly swallowed to dismiss the lingering anxiousness prior continuing the discussion with reformed disposition, "I am honored to welcome you all from the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy into Andromeda. Like your people, there are many of us from the Milky Way Galaxy who have made the long voyage through Dark Space to seek a new home here in the Heleus Cluster. Like all of you, we have variety of different cultures that have sought a new life, a new beginning, here in the Heleus Cluster. I represent on behalf of the Andromeda Initiative and the Angaran people who have taken part of the alliance. I can't speak for Ambassador Sjefa but as the Initiative Pathfinder I can arrange the necessary means for an agreement between all of our people so we all can find a common ground to thrive together in this galaxy."

The long oval-shaped head of a very slender alien directed its attention toward Pathfinder Ryder and injected with a simultaneous dual-sounding feminine voice, "I am Lieutenant Eska Dah'v from sector Zai'he Vago in the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy. Pleasure to greet, Pathfinder. Setting aside the formalities, the purpose of this assembly was meant for the concern in regards to the present events of war between the Angaran race and the creatures known as the Kett. The information states that your Initiative has also become involved in the skirmish and have not yet resolved it."

Scott Ryder fixated his stare onto Lieutenant Dah'v whose body was completely adorned in the Tri'sar dark silver overlay which covered any and all visible skin coloration. Eska's figure appeared to have flattened spines starting from the top of her head, following down the back of her long neck, and down the spinal column to the tip of a short length tail. The alien's physique was very slender with extended arms that nearly reached to the kneecaps. The leg structure seemingly resembled Salarian, however, having an additional joint between the ankles and shins. The human man raised both of his arms to cross over his chest, gradually relaxing his posture, and supplied reply, "Yeah, well, unfortunately trying to ask the Kett to kindly leave hasn't quite worked out. When the Initiative arrived here we've had our difficulties trying to negotiate with their leader, the Archon.. take it from me; he wasn't the type you'd want to have invited to your parties."

Eska offered supplementary, "The motive is clear to us that you have come here to ask for our help. Captain Neyblix may have not made it clear to you but neutrality has become our standard and the many lot of our people will not affiliate into this warfare."

Scott dimmed his eyebrows down into a narrowed look, "I understand one's right to exercise pacifism, however, I don't understand what good it's going to do when the Kett are obviously a hostile race. What will your people do when the Kett decide to turn and fire their weapons upon this fleet's ships? If you're not aware about the exaltation process then I'll gladly have someone explain it." He turned his head to look upon the human Biotic with a raising eyebrow and murmured, "Cora, can you explain it for the class?"

Lieutenant Harper slowly turned her head back and forth to look over the different aliens as she proclaimed in explanation, "The Kett use the method of genetic manipulation conversion in order to artificially reproduce through a serum injection that rapidly reforms the host's genetic code turning them into Kett. The host's entire molecular composition is adversely overcome within only a few moments. The process is called Exaltation which we've discovered is irreversible.. there's no way to revert the host back into their former self."

Eska Dah'v answered in conjunction with Cora's statement, "The Captain's reports give testament that these Kett creatures are not a race that can be reasoned with. The Kett soldiers have a mental state capacity that is refined down to absolute obedience."

The human Pathfinder lowered his arms down while supplying correspondence, "Just imagine what the Kett could do if they find a way to obtain the Tri'sar-plas'conic energy and were able to use it against your own people." Ryder had taken notice of the Ethar-Juson group quickly turning their heads to glance to one and the other as if conveying silent discussion.

Everyone had fixated their gazes upon Skryonn Neyblix as the Ethar-Juson Captain reconciliated with a gradual nod toward the human man's direction, "You have made your point valid, Pathfinder Ryder. I cannot deviate from that probability. If you are concerned that our advanced components would fall into the Kett's control then you underestimate the true capability of our technology. It cannot be duplicated nor sustained under another's command without Tri'sar armor, this includes the use of the Nanotechnology. The Tri'sar armlet that I had permitted you to operate was programmed specifically to correspond with your DNA and no other."

Scott offered a brief gesture of surrender by raising both of his hands and dropped them to his side as he abjured, "I rest my case." He quietly cleared his throat to draw everyone's attention onto him once more and proceeded with military composure, "It's true that I'm here for the purpose of requesting the Ethar-Juson armada into joining the effort to stop the Kett. The Kett occupation has significantly been reduced and we need all of the help we can get to rid the Kett from this galaxy once and for all. Our main forces are making ready for a counter attack in the Dar'Hegah System. My informant, Pathfinder Lumont Hayjer, has supplied vital intelligence that there are currently nine Kett flagships and three jump freighter class ships in preparation to travel to the Milky Way Galaxy and commence an invasion upon arrival."

Lieutenant Lak Kalis had taken her place beside Captain Neyblix with her full helmet replaced over her head. She brought into question, "What matter is this for the people in the Milky Way Galaxy? If they have the main culmination of weaponry that your Andromeda Initiative has then they shall be able to defend themselves against the Kett."

Scott slowly nodded agreement, retorting a counter argument, "We're not entirely certain about the Milky Way's outcome after the Reaper assault. The main concern lies with the Heleus Cluster's planetary defenses which are going to be stretched very thin leaving the viable worlds defenseless for Kett operatives to attack our most vulnerable points in the Kett last-ditch-effort for a takeover."

One of the aliens in the full dark silver mail implied reluctance in a softened voice, "If the Kett issue is not resolved then this means that this fleet cannot make a residence here in the Andromeda Galaxy. We must turn elsewhere to find a permanent home."

The human Pathfinder had glimpsed upon the Ethar-Juson that had made the statement to briefly study its body structure finding that the creature was short in comparison with kneecap height. The alien's body displayed a very slim muscle build. The oddity that attracted Scott's attention was the extra digit on the outside of both of the alien's hands that appeared to have the similar joints consistent like a thumb. Ryder directed his sight to glance upon each figure, smirking to himself Scott rebounded the discussion in his favor, "Your people have traveled this far- what's the point of coming to Andromeda if you're just going to turn around and make another long trek through Dark Space in hopes to find a galaxy without a hostile race? What chances are there of that likely to happen? I'm not asking your people to fight the fight for us. If there is any way your ships can just protect the worlds, that's all the help I'm asking for."

Sky had briefly dipped his helmet down in a brief moment of quiet contemplation before lifting his head and gazed upon the human man with an unseen stare. The Ethar-Juson Captain spoke in respectful tone, "I have already perceived that you have considered the use of this fleet's numbers in the Initiative's benefit to outweigh against the amount of Kett space crafts. Although I cannot condone implication that we will involve ourselves in the fight, nonetheless, our Tri'sar-plas'conic technology can be manipulated into a destabilizing field to negate Kett weapons and vessels. Our technology can be implemented to generate planetary defense systems ensuring the safety of each world and prevent any Kett from entering within a planets orbiting boundaries."

Scott expressed an appreciative smile, "That's all I'm asking for."

The Captain of the Ethar-Juson forces pressed firmly, "If we are to solidify an alliance with the Andromeda Initiative and the Angaran then my people need the assurance of Andromeda's paragon. Can I trust that betrayal will not be raised against my own people, Pathfinder Ryder?"

The Initiative Pathfinder lightly shrugged his shoulders in response, "I can't make any promises or stop everyone from making mistakes.. but I'll do whatever it takes to make sure that no one screws this up... even if that means I have to deal with them myself."

Sky dipped his head in approval and proceeded in esteemed declaration, "Pathfinder Scott Ryder of the Andromeda Initiative, my decision is persuaded by the amount of respect and honor you have demonstrated. You will have the Ethar-Juson fleets at your command for the purpose of protection for this galaxy. We will begin stationing planetary defenses for the star systems."

Ryder took in a deep breath and expelled a relieved sigh, "Great. That's great! Let's get started. I'll contact Director Tann and Pathfinder Hayjer to get plans underway. Sam can spread the word that the Ethar-Juson fleets are on their way."

"The Pathfinder's authority will be of use when it comes down to first contact protocol when the squadrons arrive in the star systems." Captain Neyblix implied a sense of concern in his words.

Cora Harper nodded agreement, "Right, otherwise someone might think it's an invasion and press the panic button. We'll have Sam transfer the information to avoid that problem."

Sky bowed his head in gratitude to the human woman and adverted his attention between Cora and Pathfinder Ryder adding supplement, "The migration flotillas are in anticipation for settlement arrangements. The Terraforming and Gravitational Polarity Control constructs can also be prepared for launch onto planets that pose for the next stages of habitation. I will have Sam's assistance for the first line of suitable planets that are presentable for swift improvement. Lieutenant Gynnmar oversees the trade market and may offer exchange of needed supplies to-"

The large creature with the flat rounded head spun full attention toward the Captain's direction and injected in his low grumbling voice, "Captain, I insist upon the Bhlil-lyth faction taking part in this battle in order to understand this Kett opponent and their methods."

Sky dipped his helmet down to portray a glowering appeal and answered firmly, "We have all the information in regards to the Kett's strategies uploaded into our systems. I assure you the Bhlil-lyth would have also been included in receiving this data, Lieutenant Zlarik."

The overly-sized alien formed all four hands into fists as Lieutenant Zlarik replied defiantly, "The Bhlil-lyth did not come to this galaxy to observe. We were brought into the Sanction to be the offensive strategy when negotiations fail or have fallen. Obviously, a mediation has NOT occurred. This conflict can be easily resolved with the aid of my troops, Captain."

Scott uttered within earshot of the human Biotic, "Makes me wonder if they're related to Krogan. Their kind of diplomacy is very alike; kill first and don't bother asking questions later." Pathfinder Ryder shifted his gaze from the alien known as Zlarik and finally to Captain Neyblix as the Ethar-Juson fleet leader seemingly expelled a silent sigh of forced patience.

The sound of command regained in Sky's voice, "This is not our fight, Lieutenant-"

Zlarik quickly injected with demand sound, "Respectively, Captain, it has become our fight. This human from Solasvayn-Istat has made a fair point. Our fleet will gain nothing if we turn away from a potential settlement just to look for another star system with the slim chance of finding non-hostile species. The Andromeda Galaxy is our home now. The Bhlil-lyth will remain here if your people would prefer to look elsewhere." Lieutenant Zlarik spun away from the gathered circle and began stomping for the triangular-shaped doorframe.

Cora lowered her voice into a whisper, "Apparently the Bhlil-lyth are not political conversationalists."

"Definitely reminds me of the Krogan." Scott Ryder murmured mostly between himself and the human Lieutenant.

(*Disclaimer: there is also an alternative dialogue for the content coming up. Ryder's other romance option (Sky) in Chapter 29 - Alternative*)

Vetra Nyx and Sara Ryder stood together in the event of watching the elegant grace of countless floating creatures that took the appearance of aquatic jellyfish with glowing violet trailing tentacles and red serrated spines running down from the tops of the gelatinous umbrellas. The strange animals very slowly swayed in their movements as they hovered inside of a containment tank which encompassed the entire composition of all of the walls within the green-lighted room.

The human woman outstretched one of her hands to place the flat of her palm onto the solid barrier's surface and murmured her astonishment, "Wow.. they're so incredible. I can't believe how much they look like the jellyfish back on Earth. The universe is so diverse and yet there are still so many similarities found from completely different galaxies."

Vetra crossed her arms across her torso and relaxed her posture.

"Yeah, it's remarkable alright. I also can't believe there's Dextro-amino vegetation found and grown in another galaxy! Lucky for me I won't have to starve if I get lost on this ship... Sid would love to be here right about now. I bet Suvi is as good as a.. what's the phrase?"

Sara lowered her hand away from the tremendous-sized tank and corrected, "Giddy as a school girl. You're on point about that, Vetra." The Ryder sibling spun in her place to face into Vetra's direction and inquired with a devious smirk, "Hey, what about you and Scott? Has he.. you know..."

The Turian mercenary turned her head to gaze upon Sara and conveyed puzzlement, "You know- what?"

Sara casually shrugged her shoulders and anxiously curled her lips in great anticipation, "You know; has he popped the question?"

"What question? Or which question? I have no idea what you're talking about, Sara. Scott has asked a lot of questions and I have no recollection of which one you're referring to."

The female human felt her shoulders become weighted down into disappointment.

"Oh.. I guess that answers my question."

Vetra's mandibles briefly wiggled to express a hint of agitation, "What are you getting at? Is there something I should know that I don't know about?" The tall-standing Turian lowered her arms and rested her hands upon either sides of her hips.

"Yeah, Sara, what are you getting at?" Scott's voice echoed through the dome-shaped room quickly diverting both Sara's and Vetra's attention to spin around and immediately spied the Pathfinder under the glow of the green lighting as he approached from the long triangular-shaped corridor leading into the vast area.

"Oh, heeey, Scott. Vetra and I were just, uh, having a girl-to-girl talk... about things. Looks like you're finally out of the board meeting! How did it go?"

Pathfinder Ryder approached and stood before both women. He glimpsed up to Vetra as the Turian composed a joyful demeanor with gently wiggling mandibles. Scott's lips contoured into a coy smirk after directing his focus onto his sibling, "If things go according to plan I just might be able to get settled down into my designated retirement spot with a perfect beach front and having the perfect Turian with me.. Maybe if she's up to it I could teach her how to surf." The human man half-turned to stand side-by-side with Vetra and looped one of his arms across the back of the Turian's hips.

The Turian mercenary exhibited bashful mannerism by dipping her head down and suddenly turning her face away. Vetra's mandibles rapidly wiggled, "Oh, Scott, stop that.."

Sara poised herself to hold back from breaking into an abrupt chuckle and instead imposed an expressive grin, "Um, I think I'll just leave you two love birds alone." The human woman turned away and began around her younger sibling in order to make the trek across the flawless dark silver flooring.

Scott dropped his arm away from the Turian's backside and turned with his sister in her passing, "Aw, come on, Sara, I'm not that repulsive, am I?"

The Ryder sibling half-turned in mid-stride to carefully walk backwards and allowed her voice to carry from across the room, "Any type of mushy stuff coming from my little brother is on the HIGH end of the gross scale! If I stay then I might be the perfect mood killer by vomiting on the floor! Now is as good time as any to ask the question, Scott." Sara revealed her canny smirk together with a quick bat of one of her eyes prior the human woman's swift whirl around into the facing direction of the triangular-shaped entrance corridor.

The visible sight of Sara Ryder had fleetly disappeared from the room leaving Vetra Nyx to spin full attentiveness onto Scott. The Turian erupted into demanding inquiry, "What the hell is going on?! If I didn't know any better then I'd have never guessed that you two were up to something. You're a Ryder which means there's always some kind of spontaneous plan that you come up with.. and somehow it has kept the universe intact after everything we've been through."

"When have I ever needed a plan, Vetra? I never thought that the Pathfinder title would become the right career for me but somehow we all survived." The corner of Scott's lips curled into a delightful smirk.

The Turian mercenary regained into a lighthearted mood proceeding with a tease and taking up both of Scott's hands into hers, "You're just lucky because you have me to make sure you're on the right track.. it could have ended up a lot worse if I hadn't tagged along in the first place."

"Well, as long as I have you then my luck should never run out."

Vetra lightly scoffed, "I didn't think that kind of cheesiness would have come so far as Andromeda. I'll let it slide this one time.. only because I think you're cute.. for a human."

The Initiative Pathfinder gingerly leaned his chest into Vetra's torso plate bringing his nose to caress against Vetra's scale-covered nostrils. Ryder murmured softly while grazing his lips over the Turian's half-gaping mouth, "I love you, Vetra."

"Scott, I love you, too."

Pathfinder Ryder briefly pursed his lips together and forced himself to roughly swallow. 'There's no better time than this to ask her.' Scott opened his mouth regaining a moment's clarity to begin to softly ask, "Vetra.. would you ma-"

Sam's robotic voice interrupted into the Pathfinder's private channel, 'Scott, I have received further information from the SAM Node on the Quarian Ark in regards to Commander Shepard's counter attack against the Reaper invasion.'

Scott had adverted his gaze away and murmured in bitter tone, "That's.. great, Sam. You picked a really good time to tell me."

Vetra Nyx took a single step back drawing her face away from Scott's soft skin, slowly releasing the human's hands from her grip, and blatantly made her surprise known, "Sam?"

The Pathfinder expelled a distraught sigh as he momentarily looked away from Vetra's puzzlement and delved into his own thoughts, 'Is it TOO much for the savior of the galaxy to get cut a break?! Just FIVE minutes! That's ALL I'm asking for!' Ryder breathed out another huff of air, recapturing a sense of calm before replying, "Sam's just letting me know he's got some important information."

"I thought that Sam's programming was restricted from breaching into the Ethar-Juson's network systems."

Ryder shrugged, "One of the many perks of being the Pathfinder is sharing a private channel with Sam."

The Turian mercenary inquired, "Well, that's.. um... What's the info about?"

"Commander Shepard and the Reaper invasion."

"SPIRITS! Well? What happened?!"

Sam continued communication via the Pathfinder's private channel, 'Scott, my full functionality is prohibited within this craft while my systems remain at maximum capacity on the Tempest. I can openly communicate and share the data with Miss Nyx.'

The human man quickly nodded, "I get it, Sam. We'll have to head back to the Tempest and find out, Vetra."

Vetra acknowledged with eagerness, "Alright, let's go." She walked in stride with Ryder as the Initiative Pathfinder had spun around and traversed together across the span of the large area to begin travel through the long corridor. "So you were saying something about; things going according to plan. Does that mean we have the Ethar-Juson's help?"

Scott gave a nod of agreement up to the Turian, "Actually, a LOT more than that. Sky's making the necessary arrangements to start trading supplies to everyone involved in the Initiative and its allies. There's also the terraforming prep work to set up to get a jump start on the list of potential candidates for golden worlds."

"That's going to open up a lot of options for places to choose from. I wonder how long it's going to take, though." The female Turian had revealed the sound of astonishment.

"I don't know but I should get first dibs for a retirement destination. One of the many Pathfinder perks."

Vetra Nyx gently teased, "Let me guess; somewhere with an ocean? I hear you talking a LOT about surfing."

Ryder quipped in defense, "I don't talk about it all the time."

"Riiight." The Turian dismissed with a scornful tone and rolled her head to the side as if taking on the appearance of an eye roll.

.

.

The Initiative Pathfinder together with Vetra followed the length of the boarding ramp and emerged into the Tempest's Cargo Bay.

"Alright, Sam, we're here. What's the news on Commander Shepard?" Scott had out loudly asked. He directed approach toward one of the closed doors to leave from the bay area with Vetra following up behind.

The artificial intelligence's robotic voice promptly supplied response, "After full restoration of the SAM Node on the Quarian Ark I was able to download the transmissions received from the Milky Way Galaxy containing resistance information to repel the Reaper invasion. Commander Shepard's aided efforts had shown significant impact to slow down the synthetic-organic machines and their ground forces. Adjoined by the funding and support from all of the Milky Way species, the Prothean artifact, known as the Crucible, neared the final stages of construct completion."

Vetra and Pathfinder Ryder passed through the Research Room and began the climb up one of the ascending ramps into the Meeting Room. The female Turian anxiously swallowed and pressed, "Do you have any information about what happened on Palaven? Did the Reapers.. take over?" She had taken her place beside Scott as the two stood side-by-side in front of the rounded console.

Sam replied with inflexible calmness, "An overwhelming amount of the Reaper battalions inflicted heavily across Palaven, however, based upon the records shown the Reaper forces have endured a high casualty percentage."

The female Turian expressed an abrupt chuckle, "That's the Turian martial idealism for ya; we're tough sons-of-bitches and we're really damned good at shooting things."

"I can agree with that among the other things you're good at." Scott turned his head to glance up to the Turian and offered a sly wink. "What else do you have, Sam?"

"Among the series of unfortunate events that had occurred during the onslaught; the Citadel and its Council leaders had become prime targets under an infiltration conducted by Cerberus that was orchestrated under Councilor Udina's impend to seize power. Commander Shepard was able to prevent this from happening."

Pathfinder Ryder's jaw dropped into a state of surprise, "Councilor Udina?! Are you shitting me? When did he join the Cerberus league?"

Sam corresponded, "It was theorized that Councilor Udina and Cerberus agents were under the affects of indoctrination."

"Indoctrination? I think I've heard that word mentioned somewhere but I'm not quite sure what it means." Vetra Nyx lifted her arms to fold over the other across her chest plate.

The artificial intelligence started into elaboration, "In the records of data that I have received it is stated that indoctrination is the relative term for brainwashing. Very little is known about Reaper technology but it's apparent that the afflictions only work on organic beings. There are hypotheses giving indication that the Reapers broadcast an electromagnetic field consisting of waves of infrasound and ultrasound that adversely stimulates the victim's brain including their limbic system. The data files also provide accounts of victims suffering hallucinations or headaches following up with different stages of paranoia, ultimately leading onto exposing the individual's mental capacity to become susceptible for indoctrination."

Scott exchanged a worried glance onto the Turian in his mutter, "That is almost as bad as Exaltation... Probably not as bad but it's going on my list of MOST worst-possible-ways-to-go."

"I'd have to say that both share an equal amount." Vetra injected an eager inquiry, "What happened after, Sam? Did Commander Shepard win the fight against the Reapers? I'd like to hear about a happy ending to this."

"Admiral Steven Hackett declared that the Crucible was completed, however, there wasn't a primary power source to energize the device's superweapon. The Crucible could only be activated by a component called the Catalyst. In Admiral Hackett's reports, the Catalyst was the only power source that can amplify a massive scale of energy needed to destroy the Reapers. Commander Shepard had found the rest of the Crucible's documentation from a Prothean Virtual Intelligence program which revealed that the Catalyst could only be found within the central control hub of the mass relay network. The Citadel itself was the Catalyst." Sam had paused for a moment as Ryder and Vetra shared bewildered looks.

"Whoa! The Citadel was the power source to fire a superweapon?! Who would have that the seats of the galactic government were sitting on a giant battery?"

Vetra quietly hissed in polite gesture for the Pathfinder to remain silent and asked earnestly, "What HAPPEND next, Sam?"

Sam's robotic voice patiently answered, "Unknown. There are no more data files with the information in regards to Commander Shepard's next move. The SAM Node on the Quarian Ark has not received any further transmissions from the Milky Way. Although I cannot determine the final outcome for Commander Shepard's success in winning the war against the Reapers, I prefer that Commander Shepard achieve the overall victory."

Scott regarded his acknowledgement respectfully, "I couldn't have agreed with you more... Let's keep that hopeful thought. Thanks for the info, Sam." He trailed off and returned focus up to Vetra.

"Now I'm not so sure if I want to hear the next line of transmissions... if they ever come." The Turian fully turned attentiveness into Pathfinder Ryder's direction, "This is.. I don't know what to think. Six hundred years is a long time to wait and find out if the Milky Way is still standing or if it's been demolished."

The Initiative Pathfinder spun on his heel to face Vetra and raised the corner of his lips into a coy expression, "Well, if we're going to stand around and wait I can think of something we can do to kill some time. I promise there will be NO death-defying experiences."

The Turian's eyebrow plates briefly raised in showing of her puzzlement, "What did you have in mind?"

Scott Ryder took a step closer, coming face-to-face with the female Turian in order to meet gazes with Vetra's green eyes with his arms outstretching embrace around her waist. "Something that we'll both enjoy."

The Turian's mandibles quickly wiggled in the show of excitement, "I like the sound of that." Vetra gradually pulled out of Scott's embrace and carefully gripped one of his arms as she started to turn for the descending ramp. She guided Ryder to the frigate's lower deck and continued the lead into the Pathfinder's private quarters. Scott's arms swiftly bound around Vetra's waist once more into motioning the Turian for a full spin around to come face-to-face with the human man. Ryder prompted to press his soft lips to Vetra's for the exchange of a deep kiss.

(*Disclaimer Warning: Lemons coming up*)

The Pathfinder gradually broke away his kiss with Vetra, slightly turning his face to the side and began nibbling on one of her mandibles. The Turian slowly closed her eyes and welcomed Scott's body with an embrace by wrapping her arms around his torso.

Ryder's hands gently pried away Vetra's attire, discarding the mercenary's garments to fall around their feet, and motioned the both of them toward the direction of the bedside. Scott gingerly motioned Vetra down onto the edge of the mattress and gestured the female Turian to splay upon her backside. After the removal of Vetra's garments, Scott stationed position onto his knees upon the floor between the Turian's legs.

Vetra outstretched her legs apart for Scott's face to draw closer between her legs to start licking his warm wetted tongue over her pelvis. She slowly gaped her mouth open to express out a long sigh of enjoyment. She rested the undersides of her shins upon Ryder's shoulders enabling her to relax her posture as the human man proceeded to delve his tongue further into the taste of her insides. The Turian suddenly dropped her hands at her sides grabbing up handfuls of the bed's covers into her talons. Vetra softly moaned through the moments of Scott's tongue offering as a tantalizing sensation that gradually deepened to lap within the Turian's moist insides. Vetra's voice beckoned a deep gasp, "AH! Scott!"

Feeling the shivering vibration of Vetra's body, Scott allowed trails of saliva to slither down his chin in a mixture with the Turian's escaping juices. Quickly drawing back his head, Ryder wiped his chin on the top of his sleeve and regained into a standing position. Taking advantage of Vetra's blissful moment, Pathfinder Ryder hurriedly worked to undo and pull his pants down with undergarments before making the motions to grab up the undersides of Vetra's shins in the strong grips of his hands and swayed his hips forward to carefully guide his hardened prod into the Turian's body. The slow forward thrust enticed another shudder to course over Vetra's body giving the signal for Scott to ignore all sense of his composure and invoked him into a frenzy of vigorous thrusts.

"Oh, fuck! Scott! SCOTT! Ah! AH!" The female mercenary's voice filled the room in shrills of enjoyment. Vetra continued to cry out while disregarding the mattress top becoming impaled by her sharp talons, "FUCK! AH! SCOTT!"

Ryder turned down his gaze to watch Vetra's chest cavity rapidly rising and falling. her body began to violently shudder releasing hot sticky fluids to smear over Scott's delicate skin instantaneously giving rise to the growing anticipation longing to be relinquished from his own body. Pathfinder Ryder's mouth gaped open for his voice to expel the sounds of heavy grunts, "Ahh... ahhhhh... Vetra.. I'm going to.." The human man momentarily dropped his head back, clenching his bright blue eyes shut, and had transitioned from loudly panting breaths into a long bellowing cry, "AHHH! FUUUCK! AHHHHHH!"
