A/N hello people, I hope I will not disappoint you guys any more and will continue to like my works. I am now at FAV: 32 and Alert: 33 with this story. I am glad to continue writing again. Here is a confusion warning, I skip the boring details of the peace talk but in doing so I forgot to show you guys what happens with Saren and his brother (Whoops) so here is the scene.


(I do not own Anything in this fanfiction just about anything you see here will belong to someone, Plus I am not sure what all is going to be in here.)

At the Mothership outside the Overseer's doors, when both Desolas and Saren walk out the room.

-Arteriuses POV-

Saren could hardly believe it, standing in front of him was his big brother alive and well. He was so worried he would never see him again after the message he gave him, but the spirits seem to be watching over him. He still needs to check if he is mentally okay "So Desolas did the aliens treat you right and did they accidentally fed you Levo base foods?" for some reason his brother seem uncomfortable.

Desolas shook his head "Yes, me and my crew have been treated fairly and the True Alliance have been genetically growing foods to suit our unique biology which taste better than the rations we have.-Laughs-" sadly he was not fooling anyone.

Saren decided to pry harder "Hey, what wrong you look tense? Are you not telling me the truth?" -If there was any kind of torturing...- "Yes I am, it's just,-Sigh- I thought you be mad at me for retreating from them." Desolas did not expect his brother to care more about his well being than being a proper Turian. He also did not expect Saren to slap his face.

"OW!, bro why do that!?" his brother stated what he thought was obvious "You needed some sense slapped into you. Look after reading their Codex and seeing how some of it is true, I do not blame you, they were a powerful enemy we just were not prepared for. If being proper Turian is something you really care about then I more than a proper Turian for the two of us. Sparatus had even gave you some praise for some of the decisions you made while the Primarch was belly aching about it!"

Desolas clicked and flared his mandibles in surprise "The Sparatus gave me praise for retreating? Wait, the Primarch, I was not expecting the bastard to take me seriously. Oh wait I never got to ask, not that I not somewhat glad you're here, but why are you here? No offence, but you would not be the first person I call for a diplomatic mission." and the brotherly love continues.

Saren mocked hurt "I would be a very good diplomat, remember the time when I brought the bar fight to an end way back when?" Desolas just gave him a blank stare.

"You were cheering on the ones you placed bets on." he deadpan, "Hey!, the fight did end quickly when she knocked the drunk's ass out." Saren retorted with a light chuckle. He decided to get back on topic and answer his brother's question "As you can see from my new look I barring on my arm, I had to get cybernetics on Palaven and when I came to my first thought was to check with Lieutenant Abrudas to see if you were still alive. Since you are still alive I went to the Primarch ask him permission to head back and when I was asked why I stated 'Family Matters'. To which he went on a rant on how he knew you get yourself killed and for some strange reason he wanted me to be the Turian diplomat to head there, I do not know why." after hearing Saren's explanation, he gave the reason on why the Primarch would send him.

He came to a conclusion "Well if he viewed these aliens as the enemy and him thinking I was dead I say he was trying to sabotage the peace talk, granted it would have worked if I did died and you held the grudge, sadly no physical proof means he gets away for now. We will watch him for now on just in case." Saren now hated the man now more than ever -How dare he use my connection to my brother for his own gain!- he thought bitterly.

There is one bright side however "I am glad to see your still alive... I would not know I handle the very idea of losing you." and Desolas reassured him by adding "I will would still guide you in the realm where spirits walk." and we leave the scene with them hugging each other.


Days after the peace talks and Benezia returns to the Councilors with information in hand, at the Citadel, in the Council Chambers.

-Council's POV-

Tevos was trying to process all the information "What!?" she was not sure if she heard Benezia right, but from what she said the aliens are bringing their Mother ship. The other Matriarch just sighed "They want bring their Mother Ship, the reason being is because it is their symbol of unity and two symbols of unity meeting 'Face to Face' will be just perfect." The diplomat was rubbing her head from the migraines she was getting from the whole ordeal.

Meanwhile Valern having mental breakdown "If any of the data on the new arrivals is true, than they trumped over both Salarian and Prothean tech, not to mention their ability to access the multiverse itself! And their other accomplishments such as them giving Synthetics organic like capabilities even going as far as to create a small planet with Synthetic base life on it, they can even colonized other galaxies without it being a one way trip! These aliens hav-OW!" he was thankfully stopped by Tevos throwing a Tea cup at his head to get him to stop ranting "Thank you." Valern finished while rubbing his sore forehead.

Sparatus was in deep thought, thinking about the aliens, there was just so much there and it was hard to find one topic to focus on and form a opinion on. Like punch after punch new details about these beings and what exactly happened at the Mass Relay 314 just keep heading for their faces. While small part of him wishes he could just deny any of this and it will all be somehow untrue, but was smarter than that. It can't hurt to test it though "Are certain that this Codex is accurate?" he pleaded to the spirits it was not so.

His pleas went unanswered "When I had show my doubt with them they taken to see all their technologies and abilities at work. Their Codex is indeed true even Tevos can meld with me and see for herself." Tevos just shook her head.

"I... rather not, I trust your word if you excuse us we have much to discus. We will contact you and let you know when the True Alliance can... Teleport here." on that note Benezia ended the call leaving them to their own thoughts. The first to break the silence was Sparatus "So what should we start with, the political problems or the possible benefits from them?" he did not have to wait long.

Tevos voicing her frustrations "These aliens are a political nightmare."

"Problems it is then." Sparatus added

Valern scoffed "Understatement would hardly be the conclusion."

Tevos had never been more nervous "We can barely hold together with the potential blow back from the multiverse thing, but this race has multiple things that will cause pandemonium. What is worse is they are like the Batarian and the Terminus systems warlords: We cannot do anything with the Batarian's slavery because of issues of culture; We cannot do anything about the crime in the Terminus systems due to how much power they have and the territory they control. Now we may have three of 'We can't do anything' problems." and that is not even half of it.

Valern added his input "Yes, this race also presented a arms race we can't hope to match and due to unique economy, we cannot beat them financially. Of course not only reason we can't beat them financially." he was honestly frustrated with how strange True Alliance was and even more so with how advance they are. He is just thankful that they can't defy the laws of physics by somehow using magic, he inwardly shuddered.

Sparatus clicked his mandibles "I know they have a lot of bad traits, but have we even considered the good ones?" to saw the others were shocked would not fully described what they were feeling. "What good thing?" Tevos had no idea what he was talking about. "Well for one they are quite reasonable, in fact they so much so that it should not make any sense. There should have been a First Contact War and there would have been one if we met them early before 'The Survival Of Sins' event took place. Then we will probably only deal with A.I. and/or genetic engineering, but not at this scale. Think about it, if they had a 'Normal Government' well the sad fact is power corrupts and this would not have turn out as okay as it did. I for one am glad on how reasonable and honorable they are, am I a bit concerned about certain aspects absolutely, but they are not unreasonable and we can make peace with them."

Valern and even Tevos were impressed, then Tevos still added a little rain "Be that as it may our community will still go ballistic" then they heard one of the regular guards by the door exclaimed to his companion "50 credits says the Quarians become terrorists." while the other "100 says they make the Batarians extinct."... yeah that did not help their concerns.

Valern offered his only idea "We can only prepare them for the massive shock they will get, problems are inevitable." Sparatus nodded to his words and brought up the next problem "Now about trade" to which everyone groaned. "We have nothing of true value to give them and unique economy possess a great many problems at hand, one that might even stump the Volus." Valern stated the obvious.

Tevos was shaking her head "How in Goddess name did they survive that long with a economy like that? Something like that should have fallen apart." which now it was Valerns turn to be surprising.

"It is rather beneficial to them." Tevos just stared at him "How is that 'Beneficial to them' I thought you would have said it is idiotic. "Reason why something like that fails when we do it is cause our people always expects something in return, with them, they do it cause it is necessary. Like Geth, but simultaneously unlike them in many ways." she blinked at Valern reasoning, she never would have thought of that, to see a organic race have a economy like the Geth is rather universally alien.

Sparatus started tapping his talons "And yet they have everything of value to us, even infinite supply of Eezo, yet requiring very little of it. We could just try reasoning them to give us something without expecting anything. I mean we really do not have anything to give them, but we could say as an alliance we should do our best to help one another out. Granted we can only help out a little, however they do seem generous, but not stupid I doubt we can't ask for all their tech and especially their infamous Oracle's Eye." he was still amazed such a thing exist.

Tevos nodded "Agreed, it would seem ill advised, to try to obtain such a thing." she brought up the next thing "Why do I get the feeling they will be the first to not join." (A/N why do people always paint them as surprised when humanity shows evidence on why they will not join?) she rhetorically asked and got a sarcastic answer from Sparatus "Was it all the illegal things they use, the amount of power they have, the A.I. that have a seat, or-" "IT WAS RHETORICAL SPARATUS!"now she knew he did that on purpose.

Valern decided to bring the meeting to a end "We should still let them have a embassy to make things easier, now shall we call them and tell them when to teleport here?"

"Let's just get this over with." Tevos tiredly stated and the meeting was adjourn.


A couple of weeks after mentally preparing everyone, (Note there was still chaos) for the coming Mothership.

-Council's and True Alliance's POV-

In the Citadel Space Traffic Control Center (Or C.S.T.C.C.) we take a look at a unfriendly pair an Asari named Valayir Vara and a Turian named Vorebia Tibmus. They will be having a short discussion with one another. "Hey Vara you think anything about the new arrivals is true?" she asked her co-worker.

With a roll of her eyes "Please, it is just a race of big talk coming from a nobody race, beside you should take what the Council says with a grain of salt." okay now Vorebia had to bite "What about Tevos?" and got a annoyed response from the Matron.

"She is the ONLY competent one on the Council none of the other councilors can ever hope to match her experience, not that the young races will understand." to which Tibmus had a verbal counter attack "But... by your logic of taking what the Council says as lies and add the fact that Tevos also said the same thing they are saying then she too is just spilling lies and quite possibly it is not just about the new faces of the galaxy." (Shepard's Note: Lady, you have no idea where the BS starts and ends with Tevos.) Valayir sent a death glare at the woman who resorted to a smug Turian 'Smile'.

She scoffed "I expected no less from a soldier." the other can only give her a 'Really' look "You know we still have citizens just because we all go to the military, does not mean we are cut out for it. Like me I was not cut out for military life so I got the boot." they stopped they chatter when they heard beeping form the consoles, when they turn to check the data, dead silence was all that was left in the room.

"Hey Valayir" she asked in a dead voice.

"Yes" her co-worker replied in the same tone.

"There is a ship bigger than the citadel."

"Yes" now she was like a broken record.

"And it came from nowhere."

"Yes"

"I just going to lay down and not just cry, but cry a lot."

she finally stopped "I join you." I think friendship was formed?

-Aboard the Mothership-

Wendy had the biggest smile around "Think we made a big entrance?" she got a sigh from Li Lotus.

He simply stated "We are not trying to 'Make a entrance' Wen, we are showing what a real symbol of unity looks like." he gave her a half-hearted glare. That only encouraged her "Come on man, we look like the baddest bitches around the galaxy, do we not Donnel?"

Poor Udina just looked uncomfortable "I did not want to scare them, I just wanted to show them a REAL symbol of unity. I just hope the Hermes Lifeblood can let the majority know that." Wendy just chuckled "Relax man, we got this in bag." then a random ensign call out "We contact their communications, Overseers!".

with a click of his mandibles, Li Lotus ordered "Put it on speakers." on the other side was a terrified Salarian, of course they did not know that.

"He-hel-he-hello" poor guy was stuttering with fear, Udina began "Yes, we are the Overseers and we are here to speak with the Council, so my good man could you please connect them to us?" "R-r-right away!" and the room was silent. Then on screen appeared the Council "Ah, hello overseers we like to welcome you to the galactic community." Tevos as always was the first to start conversation.

Li Lotus had to make sure that Benezia had told the Council they would not step foot in the Citadel "Yes, I hope you don't mind us having a meeting like this. It is just us being respectful to the dead." he got a satisfying reply. Sparatus was the one to provide "A respectable decision and rest assured I have not forgotten about what happened at the Mass Relay 314, you were more honorable than I thought." he was being genuine.

"It cool dude, we scared the pants off the patrol fleet and not to mention we were actual messing with something deadly." Wendy said offhandedly which caused both Tevos and Valern to blink in surprise while Sparatus nodded in agreement. Udina decided to come to the first debate between them and the Council "Now must ask do you wish to start with the pleasant topics first which is just what side can do what and the like or the problems we have with one another to which just as we saw problems with you, your government might have saw some in us." he got a immediate answer sadly not the one he wanted.

Valern was too quick for Tevos to say pleasant much to ire "Like how your government utilizes dangerous practices on a daily basis." to the shock of the other two Overseers it was Li Lotus who lost his cool "Nothing in Heaven or Hell can compare to the horrendous deeds of thee!" both Donnel and Tevos were rubbing their heads in annoyance.

Tevos tried her best to salvage the situation "Can we at least do this in a civilized manner?" and Udina tag along "Yes, they are not our enemies nor are they monsters. Like us they made questionable decisions." when both were quiet it was Sparatus who took charge "I guess this is mainly about the Quarians and Krogan?" Wendy confirmed his theory.

"Not in the way you expect with the Quarians and worse than you expect with the Krogan. You would think that we or more specifically my kind would side with the Geth, but Geth are not A.I. as you guys are lead to believe therefore like the Quarians we wish to get rid of them." Everyone was shocked and do not forget that Hermes Life Blood could be showing this to all, so even the Quarians heard her answer.

Valern wanted to put this synthetic in its place "Pray tell and what do you mean they broke Citadel Law by making A.I., so how are Geth not A.I." then said 'synthetic' put him in his place like a parent to a child "They are just a advance V.I., we also use such things, but with proper protocols to deal with any kind of problem. True A.I. like me are able to blend with organic intelligence cause we both think and feel, while V.I. only think and follow logic. We treat A.I. like organics and like organics there are also criminal A.I. like there are good A.I., we have ways to deal with them. They even said themselves that Geth are just a bunch of V.I. put together and not A.I., besides how is it any different with what the Geth did than when you mess up a V.I.'s friend or foe indicator. I have asked the other Overseers for my kin to personal help the Quarians to show them what real A.I. is like and because they need a helping hand for being left to rot. We will boost their immune system, get rid of the Geth, help them reclaim their homeworld, and whether or not you guys like it, we will offer some of our worlds for them to colonize and if you try to drive them away. My race will help defend their new homes alongside them till we cease to be." stunned would not fully describe the galactic community, especially the Quarians.

Valern never had been more furious in his entire life, Tevos was worried and Sparatus was liking the new arrivals more and more, so he spoke up "It would be nice to see them finally getting a helping hand. My opinion was rather unpopular when it was about providing a little more help to them, but I am in a way forced to ask. Is this way to get them to join you?" he really did not want to paint them in any kind of bad pitcher, but to his surprise they are still able to keep on punching.

Li Lotus provided the answer "That is their choice, but we must help them, because of two things: One is because it is the right thing to do and Two is cause our own laws states we must help out those not apart of our government." Tevos was shaking her head "Wait a moment, so you must help races that aren't even apart you?" Li Lotus continued "Yes, which means a independent race can get some of the same benefits as when they join, but problem is their troubles will still appear more frequently as opposed to when they join." -By the Spirits these guys are like the Hanar the nicest jellyfishes in the galaxy- Sparatus was 'smiling' to himself at the thought.

-Now for something least pleasant, oh please Lord do not let either Li Lotus and/or Wendy explode.- putting the panic thought aside Donnel brought up the next topic "Now for the Krogan." he did not get to continue cause Wendy interrupted "Yeah they ain't having anymore Stillbirths, end of story." well... Valern exploded "UNACCEPTABLE YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF THE REPERCUSSIONS OF YOUR ACTIONS,-" the Overseers calmly let him continue his rant, after several hours of ranting nonstop he ran out of breath.

Then Udina calmly state what Wendy meant "She did not say we will get rid of the Genophage. She stated we will remove its ability to cause Stillbirths, we can use genetic engineering replace that with something that will instead make the egg more resistant to fertilization, which should help with the low moral the Krogen suffer from. Mind that this is being recorded by Hermes Life Blood and they have Nanocameras and even we do not know where they are, but we know they are always watching for the truth and how to present the truth to the audience." they completely forgot about Hermes Life Blood.

Valern checked his Omni tool and contact STG to see if this was broadcast to everyone... he can confirm it. Every politicians worst nightmare, they will have to always guard their words, but this time to a paranoid degree which it be it will more so than Salarians! Valern will have to give in, but in a way that puts his race in a good light, he took a deep breath "Allow me to show some goodwill to that we are not the 'monsters' as we may seem by letting my race to remove its ability to cause Stillbirths.".

Udina walked up to the screen until it look like he was in Valern's face with a cold neutral expression "Note that if your bargain is not held up that the True Alliance will not be at war with the Council, Salarians or even Turians, but with you and those who wish to see mothers suffer." not a pin drop was willing to break the silence, you can hear the metaphorical clock. Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock.

Valern wore the same expression, but inside was nervous "... I understand." thankfully Udina walk back to the group without saying another word (A/N Admit it, that was badass or at least I hope so.) it was Wendy's turn now "After you guys fix the Genophage then we will try to rebuild the Krogan. Like teachers we will not do it ourselves, but find a Krogan give the advice and tools needed to help the Krogan rebuild everything they lost. When that is done we will test them."

Tevos had to ask "Test them on what exactly?" she had a feeling she knew. Li Lotus solidified her idea "Whether or not they can get along with other races. If not we will continue to work on it, but if they pass... the Genophage will be no more. (When Wrex saw this he wanted to meet up with them as soon as possible.) That is non-negotiable." Sparatus shocked both Councilors with what he said next "Understandable, the only reason why my people made it was cause one we were task of galactic safety and two Krogan where just too aggressive on fault of the Salarians, but if the Krogan can get along with everyone I see no harm in it." -It is official the Turians and the True Alliance will have a strong bond despite the harsh hello we gave them- he thought happily.

Wendy had remembered another thing from the Codex "Oh have something to at least make us comfortable around your Specters. No offence but you do not need to say they are above the law to do their job. It takes one person to insult your group to turn the whole thing upside down, take a look at our Atlas Children they can still do jobs like your Specters, but at least there is peace of mind if one decides to ruin the title they will not stain it." Sparatus nearly shouted "Thank you for stating what I been saying (Ha made you thought.) all the damn time!" "But what if it makes them less effective." Tevos will not have them change something that has been around longer than her. "At the very least we can have STG do a secret evaluation to see if they have been trouble." Sparatus will be damn if this opportunity go to waste. She sighed "FINE, we will let STG do a evaluation every once in a while.

Udina brought up what will be the last three of the unpleasant talk "Right, now that those two are out of the way and keep in mind a certain group will not be seeing this, We understand why you could not fight the Terminus systems warlords. Too much power and territory, we also have Marauder problems and they may try to take control of the Terminus systems. We on our part cannot allow that to happen, so will be going to war with the war lords of the Terminus, any planets we have liberated will be given to you on account if it was not for them they would have been yours." that got a reaction from Tevos.

"HOLD IT, YOU C-" Her eyes went from shocked to a very heated death glare as Sparatus had dare place his claws over her mouth to keep her quiet -After this Sparatus we will have a looong talk.- and Sparatus spoke up "You are really willing to give us planets that you will possibly win from the war lords?" with Wendy adding a little rain (Granted not much) "That depends if on how much our stupid Marauders will have control over, but yes." and Li Lotus brought up the thankfully (Mostly to the Council) the least not last part of the 'Not so sunny' discussion "We will also be going to war not with the Batarians or with you, but the Hegemony and those under the Terminus Confederacy. We will also give control to the Batarian slaves, they can form N.B.G. (New Batarian Government) and create a new government on how they see best for their people."

For the first time the Council were not surprised by them (Desolas Note: Now you know how I felt when I first met them. You strangely get use to the unexpected with them.) "It was slightly expected of you, to try such a action, but they are with us so what will do I wonder?" Valern got a frustrating answer from the synthetic.

Wendy just brushed it off like nothing "Eh, will just go around you guys. I mean our ships can Teleport, use Wormholes, and even enter FTL without the Relays. We have the data from your Codex and we will just attack all enemy controlled spaces all at once and once the Mothership is charged back up we can send her to the Batarian homeworld." well that will be quick fight if it can even be call as such and they read on the gear their packing.

Li Lotus decided to finish the 'Bad Talk' "On a final note we will be rebuilding the Vorcha and the Yahg." now they had a mix of non-surprising/surprising feeling, it was weird feel both not surprised and surprised at the same time. Sparatus was rather confused "I do not think we can stop you from doing so, but I must ask why and how?"

Wendy narrowed her eyes and growled "The Vorcha are not vermin, they are a race like any other. The process will be similar to the Krogan, find a good candidate and be like teachers by giving advice and tools, let them do the work of becoming a people and let them make their own tech. Now the Yahg different story, Yahg mothers naturally abandon any young that show signs of weakness. So we secretly adopt these young and raise them with our ideas of unity while keeping any important non-problematic Yahg culture. We train them to be stronger than the rest without changing their DNA and send them back to their homeworld to create the largest group and slowly teach their group the same though Yahg ways. Due to them being like the Salarians as they too have clutches of eggs we believe it will work giving enough time." many of the Council were wide eyed at the idea.

Sparatus shook his head of his stupor "You know that plan might actually work. Hell we might even give you permission and help anyway we can." and even Valern like the idea "I amazed we did not come up with something like that, idea shows much promise and potential." Tevos was the only one that said something that the True Alliance did not like "Yes, we gain a lot from them should they be pacified." all three Overseers glared at her, Sparatus was shaking head with his talon over his face and Valern was just as confused as Tevos on what she said was wrong "What?".

Udina help clarified "They will choose whether or not they join regardless on what we do for them. We will raise the abandon Yahg not to show favoritism and join us without considering what is best for their people, heck they can even remain independent if they feel it is best for their people." thankfully Wendy eased the tension "So got any beef with us?" Valern was the first to speak "Much, first how do we know your government can control your A.I. and why should we let you just make them willy nilly when our laws state that is not allowed."

knowing how his friend will react Li Lotus jumped in "First we do not 'Control' our citizens a government should protect them. Second no one makes A.I. anymore." Valern was confused "What are you... oh right you gave your A.I. the ability to reproduce." Wendy was giving him a death glare "You mention A.I. birth control I will give you a bad time." that got him a little scared.

Rubbing his temples Donnel sighed "Well due to our laws we can't really say want planet they can and can't have, but I sure the best we can do is Wendy encouraging the Metronians to only colonized non-garden worlds." Tevos interjected before Valern can say anything "It will have to do" with Valern giving her a huff. "What about your genetic engineering?" that only earned him a shrug from Li Lotus much to the Salarians ire. "It is not really as immoral as you think it is just science and science is neither good or evil it's just a tool of understanding and development."

Valern reluctantly nodded "And what of your nanotechnology? Won't it accidentally convert everything into said tech? (A/N this idea came from a reason why aliens will invade earth, because our nanotechnology might kill everything)" to which got a laugh from all three Overseers. Wendy told while giggling "One we do not let the nanobots make nanobots. Two like are Codex says we do not use them as weapons." there was still other problems to settle "Your ships are much to big!" with a solemn face Li Lotus stated "Yet our Marauders can take down the best of them with their small ships." that sadness was too real to be fake. That was shocking since Turians had a lot of trouble with just one, to know how deadly are their pirates... they would have to rely on True Alliance to deal with them.

With a fake cough Valern changed the topic "Well I suppose the only 'beef' we have with you now is your... unique economy."

-To be continued-


A/N Okay I need to stop there will be a part 2 to this chapter. Also I hope you guys are okay with how I handling Sparatus, Cause at least one or two councilors has to have a unpopular opinion. I hope you will like what I did so far with the reactions and Thank you guys for checking out my work, I will continue doing my best and continue to let me know what you guys think. Later Readers :)
