A/N hello people, I was not expecting the last chapter to be as long as it was, but then again I did warn you guys that the lengths might be a bit random and I apologize for that. We are now up to FAV: 45 and Alert: 46 numbers I am impressed with to say the least. Now will be continuing the last one with some scenes on how the other races have reacted and we will top it off with the one reaction you have been wondering about The Primarch... yeah he is going to be pissed at Saren and pretty much everyone.


(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.)

Continuing from the last chapter.

-Council's and True Alliance's POV-

With a fake cough Valern changed the topic "Well I suppose the only 'beef' we have with you now is your... unique economy." he really did not know on how are they going to deal with that. While Li Lotus (A/N BTW that is Po's real name from Kung Fu Panda) and Udina show a bit of understanding of the problem, Wendy did not see it "Now hold it, why do you guys not like our economy! It is not like we are forcing you to adopt it!".

The other Overseers just sighed while Tevos provided the reason "Some of our people may have a problem with your idea of a economy. They might show some aggression over it." now Wendy was just ticked "So what if your paying customers are complaining that your economy is not as effective as ours?"

"Wrong enemy." great now Wendy is confused on why Udina randomly said that and ticked at the insult to their way of life "What?" Li Lotus helped clarified for his friend "It is not the customers, but the sellers. We would be viewed as the unbeatable competition for them cause more people would natural what to 'Buy' from us." and Udina continued "And technical it will also be the customers, but for the Council while we cannot deny them service, the Council can. If they do that then the customers will bring up the fact that the have a right to buy from a Establishment that is willing to give service." Udina had to admit they had never cross that problem because Apex and Metronians adopted their economy with the Marauders the only own with what the council would consider a 'Normal' economy.

Wendy with a bit more understanding stated "OK, but we can't just change it, we worked way too hard to get our citizens to take it as the norm and after that it still took them awhile to actual like it." Valern was happy to get his unasked question answered -Apparently they got their economy to work through stubbornness, still strange that their economy works.- as much he does not like them, they do have certain aspects.

(A/N Play Hall Of Fame by Will-i-am, you know you want to do that with a Volus. Why is that not a video?) The time has come for a certain race to try to prove their worth once more to the Council. To show they earned that right to become a council member by being economical geniuses that they are, Din Korlack walk with purpose and pride with his stubby legs to end up just behind the mighty doors to the Council chambers. With a great heave, he pushed aside the offending doors which startled everyone in the meeting. "Korlack! What in Goddess name is the meaning of this!" she enough to deal with.

"-Breaths- I am sorry -Breaths- Councilor Tevos -Breaths- I am here -Breaths- to help with the -Breaths- economic issue presented -Breaths- by new Clans -Breaths-." and then got much praise from the new arrivals. First Li Lotus "Ah yes we heard of how your kin help the Council during their economic crisis, so your help will be much appreciated. Then Wendy "Yeah dude, that was a big accomplishment little no jest." she found them madly adorable and respectable, a great combo. Then finally Udina "If it counts for anything, we saw your kin's deeds were filled with worth, not that is needed in our government." that filled the Volus with confidence.

Tevos faked a cough to get everyone's attention "No offence ambassador, but how can you solve this. One can prevent our store owners from going ballistic when their 'loyal' customers start running to True Alliance and leaving them with a loss of sales." all Din did was drum his fingers on the table "-Breaths- I have a theory -Breaths- True Alliance -Breaths- do your Marauders -Breaths- have a different -Breaths- economy -Breaths-." Tevos was about to ask on what does that have to do with anything until she was interrupted.

Li Lotus the said interrupter "Well yes actually. This is due to criminals always wanting compensations for their 'Work'." that was what Korlack wanted to hear "-Breaths- Excellent -Breaths- then next comes -Breaths- guessing what they -Breaths- use for the simple -Breaths- purchases because believe it or -Breaths- not black-markets have -Breaths- some legal items -Breaths- to sell in order -Breaths- to avoid being -Breaths- identified from -Breaths- buying at a -Breaths- normal store -Breaths-." Udina was impress "A remarkable deduction, but may I ask how that helps?"

He is not done being being awesome yet "-Breaths- Your economy will -Breaths- always seem -Breaths- more favorable to -Breaths- them despite it being -Breaths- dangerous to -Breaths- them, so they -Breaths- must have a -Breaths- sort of trade agreement -Breaths- to make sure -Breaths- their customers -Breaths- 'Shop smart' -Breaths-" nodding to the idea Valern agrees "Sounds like logical path for said criminal shoppers and owners to take."

"But what exactly are they hypothetically trading" Tevos would not want to 'Go up and ask them' in any way. "-Breaths- The thing -Breaths- that is -Breaths- always valuable to -Breaths- a crook... info -Breaths-." Tevos was now annoyed "Great, first we are already dealing with a reclusive Shadow Broker. Then we get your race with your Spies/news pirates and now we learn that a criminal group of yours uses information as currency to stay away from your Ardat-Yakshi of a economy." both councilors were surprise by her rude remark and she defiantly crossed the line with all three Overseers.

Udina held his hand up to keep his friends from blowing up and spoke to Tevos in a cold manner as if he was a disappointed parent to a troubled teen, that only made her more frustrated "We are not upset about the insults about our economy or Hermes Lifeblood, we are offended by your views on the sick Asari, but that will be discussed later after we deal with the economic issue." he gestured for Din to continue which thankfully he understood.

"-Breaths- All you guys -Breaths- have to do -Breaths- is provide -Breaths- something for -Breaths- the inevitable -Breaths- loss of sales -Breaths- to keep them -Breaths- from throwing a fit -Breaths-." that is when Valern saw a great opportunity to learn their secrets "Great they will trade tech." that is when the Council and Din Korlack learned something shocking.

Wendy brought in a monsoon of rain "Umm, hate to be a downer guys, but that would be breaking our laws. Races can't trade, give, or even use taken tech." and all of them said the same word they are thinking "WHAT!?".

Sparatus needed to clarified something "What about Apex and Metronians?" that when Li Lotus tried to help them understand "Are you more proud of a weapon you bought or one that you made yourself? This is the same principle, we believe any race should make their own tech and on a deeper level learn how to survive on their own. Even Metronians learn how to survive in the wild outside their planet, they try to mine for metal to eat and learn how to make oils to drink, they learn to use nature itself to make crude repairs on their primary bodies. They do everything that we can do to survive, but my point is that they do it themselves. Both Apex and Metronians had to make our own tech in our own design. Like a real and good mentor they did not gave the answers, only gave us advice and the tools to do it. They even help us push through any mistakes we made and learn from them. So we cannot give our tech, we cannot take your tech, or even take the tech of the dead like the Protheans."

-Well that is just great.- sarcastically thought Tevos "There must be SOMETHING you can give!" and like a hero Din came to the rescue "-Breaths- Eezo -Breaths-." Udina had the biggest smile "Brilliant Korlack, we the sellers have something to make up for the lost in any revenue and we are not forced to break any of our laws. And before you go Din allow True Alliance help your get what they deserve. The Council will be giving a seat to the Volus, non-negotiable." Tevos and Valern were both surprised and angered by the demand. Sparatus was, you guessed it, happy.

Tevos spoke up "How dare you make such a demand! At a peace talk no less." they did not falter, in fact Wendy gave a calm response "In your laws it state when a race proves their worth then they get to say what's best for their species. The Volus did that with your first economic crisis which societies can collapse from, yet they did not get one. Now they do so again and you do not want to give them a seat? Then can you explain to the public, because they are seeing this, why they still have not earned their seat when they have save both societies from collapsing. We are even helping you by offering to place our good word for the Volus to have a seat, unless you think that the Council should not be bigger than three members which contradicts your laws. If we were being hostile we would have tried to steal the Volus from you.".

Valern would have said something, but he had to remember H.L. and plus they were verbally and political cornered he tread carefully... very carefully "Well we have procedures in place and the three of us must discuss this and review the Volus history." he never got to continue on account of Sparatus verbally ganging up on him and Tevos "Oh just give them the spirits damn seat. They earned it at the first economic crisis, if not now, then when will they finally be worthy. It may not be long for the Asari, but no one other than Krogen live long lives. It takes way too long for any race to gain a seat in the Council, heck there was talk about the Quarians getting one until the stupid thing happen with the Geth." Inside Tevos was quaking with rage -How dare this young overpowering thug of a race ruin the status quo of our community! Sparatus is even joining them, I still remember when he place his talons over my mouth just to keep me quiet!- what was more frustrating is that we have to give in because too many GODDESS DAMN REASONS; They are too powerful; Have a strange economy; can have our own public turn against us; and worse yet can even just head into any other galaxy and gain more territory than the Terminus systems. She gave in "Fine, we will give a seat to the Volus. (Every Volus clan cheered for the True Alliance and some even want to become their citizens on account of no one has stood up for them like they did.)"

Din was speechless "-Breaths- ... -Breaths- I -Breaths- Thank you Earth, Cybreen, and Europa clan. -Breaths- My people will -Breaths- forever be in you debt (A/N pun intended) -Breaths-" he got a nod from all three Overseers. when Din Korlack left the room like a economic boss do, Li Lotus a end to the 'Who got beef with who' Talk "How about now we talk about the actions we will take that you guy may like?" Tevos just wanted this to be done with this "-Sigh- Like what?".

Udina began "Well you will never need cybernetic for medicine again (Saren Note: YES!, in your face you weird little animal -Rufus attacks Saren- Ahhhh!) we will gladly give our medical tech to help any innocents in need." well Tevos suppose that Sparatus was right on one thing about them, they are generous. Wendy added another detail "Plus our medicine can help make implants obsolete." okay wait now she was confused "What do you mean?" Li Lotus answer question with a question like some wise man "How are Asari able to?" he was 'Smiling' at the reactions he got.

Valern answered the his question for Tevos question "That would mean you are able change someone's nervous system to something like theirs." to which he got a nod from the Apex and continued "We can also purge it by killing all the nerves simultaneously and then giving a new one. So thoughs who wish to no longer be Biotic can choose so even the Asari. (When they heard that feelings were mix and split.)" their jaws (one pair of mandibles) dropped. -Would any Asari even want that? To no longer be Biotic. Do I still want to be Biotic?- her thoughts were cut off when Wendy stated another thing they will be doing "We will also do a massive clean up on Rakhana and terraform it back to its former glory. We will also give the Drell, Vorcha like healing to cure them of Kepral's syndrome (Welp now Drell worship both Hanar and True Alliance, after hearing that. The Hanar are also considering joining True Alliance.) so they will no longer die young and be kept apart from their homeworld." -Two... two races will get their lives back and their homeworld back just from how insanely nice they are. Should my race just join them, I sure we can better protect the galaxy under their banner. A thought for another day I suppose.- in a weird way it was good that they tried to arrest them (Granted it would have been better if they gave them a better hello.).

Valern was trying so hard to figure out just why are they this nice, the Hanar were considered the nicest until they showed up. He was even trying to a reason to why they are so nice. Hanar were nice to the Drell cause they felt bad for them and were able help at the time. This True Alliance was even stranger than Hanar, because with Hanar their had at least time for pity to set in, with this race it was really after they read the Codex that they agree to help... well everyone. They could scientifically not have enough time to feel pity and not enough time to get their public's opinion on the matter. They say that they actually have to help because of their laws, but why have laws that forces you to help others?

Then it hit him The Survival Of Sins event, in order for laws to be placed problems must be bad enough so then they get fixed. Did their people not get any help during the blackout? That would explain the reason why humans lost a third of their population, that and also being dependent on tech. He thoughts were snapped out of it, so hard that he fell from his seat. That was cause he heard something that shocked him to his core, he NEEDED to double check if he heard right. "Li Lotus can you repeat what you just said." he did.

"I said we will give the short lived races longer lives. We will slow down your race's metabolism and give your race better biological defenses while Vorcha get a new white blood cell that has a 'Blueprint' of a healthy Vorcha cell that has not divided yet when it spots a blood cell that have that same 'Blueprint' will alter it until it is the same as the 'Blueprint'. At most we can get your race and the Vorcha to natural life span about as long as standard human."

"About 130 if we are real lucky, with 80 being average." after he heard Udina he thought -My race and the Vorcha will get to live longer. I heard their reasoning for helping the Vorcha... but.- "Why give my race such a gift... logically you government would not... on account of the Genophage." he did not realize he said that out loud until heard a long sigh from Wendy.

"Dude did you forget what I said before? It was not the Genophage, due to the Rachni you guys were in need of help, due to lack of Rachni problem Krogen in a way lost their goal in life, due to how aggressive they were getting with their neighbors and how many kids they can have. That made it necessary, it's just no mother no matter how cruel deserves to birth the dead and all children when developed deserves to first see light; first breath; and have all their firsts."

"-Quietly laughed- Sparatus was right, generous to the point of insanity... I must know if it were not for your laws... would True Alliance be this kind?" The Overseers were uncomfortable, but Wendy was nothing but honest "I ain't going to lie man. No... I do not think so, but that is not a bad thing. We have seen the good we do and its effects. I guess that is why we try so hard to enforce it... we do not want to let go.".

He remember his first dislike with them, rather stupid now that he thinks about it. They are show much like the very thing he loves "-Laughs- You know you guys are like science. You neither good or evil, just a tool of understanding and development." Wendy had a deep smile, oh its not that it was big, but it was one where you can see a deeper meaning. "~I have to wonder if we are a 'Tool' then what are we being used for?~" there was definitely a melody in her voice. Valern still gave her a answer and wore a genuine smile "I hypothesize to make our universe a better and more beautiful place." he could hear her purring even though it came from a screen it sounded organic like -She is quite fascinating- was all he could think about.

Sparatus looked to Wendy then to Valern, back at Wendy and back at Valern, then said his thoughts out loud "Anybody else ship them." Which was answered by a round of laughs from Li Lotus and Udina, a elbow to the gut by Tevos, and a shake of Valerns head with the statement "Salarians do not have sex drives Sparatus." while still purring she retorted "Oh you forget fellow scientist, that just means that you naturally do not want to mate, but that does not mean championships can't exist without it."

Tevos had to stop it "Can you two do this AFTER the meeting?" Wendy had to ask first "Valern shall we try our hand of friendship (A/N first comes friends than love.) after the meeting?" his answer was obvious "We can.". Tevos was rubbing her temple "Are almost done yet?". Li Lotus gave her good news "One more and we can call this meeting to a end. Now no calling them demons, but we are going to cure the sterilizing mating disease your kind suffers from, (The Asari now were leaning towards the liking side, but still mixed and split.)"

You before the meeting Sparatus was unsure about the aliens, Valern and Tevos did not like most things about the aliens. Now Sparatus and Valern likes them with Valern having a possible future with Wendy, Tevos was torn on what to feel about them.


This will be the part where we see from the galactic community POV with them meeting Hermes Life Blood and seeing True Alliance's choices.

-Quarian's POV-

Everyone was either listening, watching, and shockingly reading (Some people just to read what's going on.) as well. For the majority it was nothing special just the usual News broadcasting or other stuff. Then IT happen, suddenly anything that was remotely related to the news (With the written news it's normally digital so they replace their works with a live news paper as for the non-digital news they have 'Thieves' take it and replace it.) was taken away.

While there was slight unease/annoyed protest, thankfully there was no panic, they later found out they were dealing with news pirates. They were unusual to say the least. On the screens Diana Allers came down from her spider webs in a stylish manner "Why hello my friendly neighborhood! Allow my to enlighten you on who I am, what your dealing with, bring you the truth. My name is Diana Allers and I am the leader of Hermes Lifeblood. My group is dedicated to one thing and one thing only, our WONDERFUL new audience! We will be seeking the truth and hand you the truth unlike other news stations that either hide or lie about it, we are more than capable to get the truth because your 'Reporters' are not trained like spies. Their are also other groups dedicated to our audience and show their love for you in ways different than us, some either change or make those that will hurt you disappear, and some will give you random gifts."

The Quarians were very nervous, while the Council did told everyone about the three new races, there was just too much to focus on when it came to the aliens. There was one detail that they were able to get in the sea of information the Council was giving, they use A.I. and said A.I. had a seat of leadership on the aliens community of theirs. That their A.I. was able to reproduce and a literal world of A.I. made just for them, and they were more advanced than the Geth. The admirals did not want to start a new fight on account of so few Quarians and their fight with the Geth.

Allers began to show them the first contact with the aliens and the Council... all jaws dropped when a MASSIVE ship just popped out of nowhere. "If you read our Codex you will know that this is our Mothership. She is our symbol of unity meeting with your symbol of unity (Quarians were scoffing at the mention of Council's definition of 'Unity') and ours was built by our hands (They were impressed with that notion, the Citadel was not even the Councils to begin with. Yet the aliens built their own symbol.). Those who join us can even redesign her.".

They a double take, they just let any new race that joins redesign that ship "If your wondering why (Which they were) then let me ask you this. How can it be a Symbol of unity if it was not even built by you?" well that answered their question, but still. Then they saw their leaders for the first time and what them interact with the Council. They learned that the reason their Overseers are not seeing the Councils is cause of them respecting the dead and how the Council even made contact with them. The Quarians were also surprised at the emotion the synthetic was showing, it was slightly disturbing, then the topic of Krogens and Quarians came up and all listen to learn what the aliens thought of them... they have memorized every word the synthetic said '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.'.

Not to mention the speech that came after, everyone was just quiet, what could one even say to something like that. One thing was for sure the Admirals will have a meeting immediately. After the True Alliance meeting with the Council then the Admirals began their discussion, which had the members being: Han'Gerrel vas Neema; Zaal'Koris vas Qwib-Qwib; Shala'Raan vas Tonbay; Daro'Xen vas Moreh; and Rael'Zorah vas Alarei. All of which were quiet, until Raan spoke up "Well we certainly have a lot to talk about. Anywhere should we start?"

Gerrel beat everyone to the punch "Normally I would never consider a alliance with any kind of synthetic on the fact that they drove us out of our homeworld, but we are getting too much out of this to deny it." Rael agreed "Yes the idea of not only being free of our suits, getting new worlds, and even our homeworld back! It is just one of the greatest moment in Quarian history.". Raan giggled "Yes, you might just keep that promise." there was one person to ruin the mood.

Xen was enthralled with the idea of getting to meet this 'True A.I.' "I am very much love to meet with our new allies." that got Rael furious "Keelah, I swear if you cause any kind of trouble for people going out of their way to help our people. I will make you feel my wrath you bosh'tet." with a 'I second that!' from Gerrel and a 'Third' from Raan. Xen just rolled her eyes "I know what is at stake here, I am by no means a imbecile." then her voice went into a 'Sing song' tone that creeped them out to no end "I can still get what I want without provoking our new friends.".

Rael was curious so he decided to ask... not without stating something first "First, never ever use that tone again, that was just wrong on so many levels that I can't count them. Second, what do you mean by that?" she treated the question as if it was obvious "By THEIR homeworld I hope to see one day." she hummed in delight, which only made her creepier. Raan had to ask "And what makes you think they will let you?" behind her mask she put on a 'Innocent' face "Why would they not, I only wish to see their 'Plants' and 'Animals'. What on Rannoch is wrong with that?".

Gerrel had enough of her creepy antics "Stop it, your making feel like we are in a horror vid and I do not want to see Koris get a grisly death." that got him a questioning look from said Quarian "Well your last name is Qwib-Qwib." to which he sighed. Raan decided to cheer him up "You know he was-" Koris interrupted her "It's not that, I don't really care. It is just... ar-are we really just going to let them kill the Geth." everyone groaned. Gerrel was first to correct him "You can't still be belly aching about what they said about the Geth are you?" Xen tag along "They agree with what I have been saying all along, that Geth are not sentient. They have that, what we have a advance V.I. so the Council was wrong even on legal standards to punish us." her voice dripped with venom at the end.

Raan tried to be more comforting "We all know how you feel about the Geth, if it helps at least you will have some real A.I. to talk to." -That was one good thing about this- Koris thought. Real brought up something that they need to talk about "So how do we thank them? It would not be right if we just do nothing, but we have nothing of real value to give them and they are doing so much for us that the Council would never do." the rest were stumped. Xen offered something "All we can do is maybe join them. I do not see any reason for us not to, we get first floor when it comes to discussing problems, we can implement our own ideas to their Mother Ship, we will not be limited in military and even get to keep our economy." they all thought about it, that was really all they can do? Well it was better than nothing.

Koris brought up the obvious "Shall we find ourselves a Quarian Overseer?" they all nodded.

-Wrex and Krogan POV-

During the True Alliance and Council meeting.

Wrex and a bunch of other mercenaries (Mainly Krogan and Asari) like him were doing what they need to do every time a new race shows up, watch the news to get data on their potential new boss/target. The mercenaries had heard what the Council said about them and many were in disbelieve until the news pirates show their Mother Ship. When they heard about what they plan for the Quarians a lot them wrote them off to be softies like the Hanar, although some of the Krogan mercenaries were wondering what they thought of the Genophage. All Krogan mercenaries (Except Wrex) got closer to listen when the synthetic stated 'Yeah they ain't having anymore Stillbirths, end of story.' like this True Alliance will go to war if their demand was denied.

Then their feelings dropped slightly when they mention they were only wanted to keep it from causing stillbirths not remove it. -Well at least it may lower female suicides.- Wrex thought, he knows if the Genophage was cured right away his own people will get themselves killed by causing a ruckus. He gave up trying to unite them cause he could not do it alone and he was the only one (Besides the females) that wants that for his people. They continue to talk and so far he was slowly getting hopeful, then it turned into determination to meet up with them and show he is the best candidate to help the Krogan -Well my people just might see the light.- he got up and left the crowded bar.

-Primarch's POV-

After the True Alliance and Council meeting.

Angry thoughts was all he had right now -Why could that good for nothing general not have died! Why could Saren still not have messed up the peace talk! AND WHY WERE THE COUNCIL SO SPINELESS!- he hated them all the Arterius brothers, the council, and most of all True Alliance. -They dare walk as if they own it, They dare speak as if they rule, They dare toy with things they do not comprehend.- he never felt such hate before. -Someone needs to put them in their place, I can't do anything, but others can. I wonder how cooperative will be the Hegemony, those under the Terminus Confederacy, and left over Geth after the war. With them combine and careful planning they will bring all his enemies down.

A/N So that is my first try at codes, it is probably not as secret as I like but hopefully it is still mysterious. The next chapter will be True Alliance in the wars and me trying to introduce who guys to my Shepard. I hope I am still doing good for you guys.
