The headache Kyon had from being thrown into the wall, finally dissipated, and he looked at Tali, "Why were they chasing you?" he asked as they started going up some stairs.

"I have information on a SPECtre named Saren," Tail says, "something that could get his specter status revoked," she explains.

"I'm guessing the goon squad meant to make sure you didn't get the information into the right hands," Kyon concluded as they reached the clinic.

Tali turned her head, and looked at Kyon in confusion, "What?" she asked, her voice laced with confusion.

"The people after you," Kyon explained, evidently some idioms that he had been accustomed saying weren't widely known in the galactic society, "Goon squad is a human idiom."

"Oh," Tali says as Kyon opens the door and they go inside.

Shepard had just gotten through C-sec, it seems that carrying so many weapons onto the Citadel wasn't standard procedure, and it took at least an hour just to get through customs, "That was the longest fucking wait of my life," she commented, as they called a cab from the rapid transit terminal, so that they could get to the human embassy faster.

When they got to the human embassy, they were admitted into the ambassador's officer immediately. Udina was yelling at the council for what felt like hours when he heard the doors open, but didn't pay attention to the new comers until he was done yelling at the council, and he was surprised to see Anderson with three armored soldiers, "I see, you've brought your entire crew with you, captain Anderson."

Anderson was a little perturbed that the ambassador was talking like this, "Just the ground team, in case you had any questions."

Shepard tuned out the rest of the conversation, because she didn't want to listen to the whiney voice belonging to the ambassador, and came back when Ashley voiced her opinion on politicians.

"Come on let's get to the council hearing," Shepard ordered as she moves towards the doors.

Kyon was leaning on the wall as he tried to process what the hell was happening to him. He was obviously in the future, considering that humans still existed, and that they spoke english. There were at least five other races, which wasn't a lot considering how long the galaxy existed, and the fact that it only took humans a few thousand years to develop space travel. No, something happened to the other races. Galactic war? No, that would only result in the loss of maybe one or two races. Something was keeping the number of races in this galaxy low, but what? Kyon shrugged, then looked at the doctor who was fixing up Tali's arm. Tali was obviously important if a SPECtre wanted her dead, even if Kyon didn't know what a SPECtre was, he knew that it was bad news for her.

Kyon stood off the wall after she finished fixing Tali's arm, "You should be good for now, I'll let you go after a few more minutes, so I can make sure infection doesn't set in."

"I understand," Tali responded as she nodded, "Thank you doctor Michelle, Kyon." She turned her head to him, and nodded.

"You're welcome," Both the doctor and Kyon said together. Kyon turned to the doctor, "I need to ask a few things."

"Sure thing," the doctor nodded, taking his tone of voice, and moving over to where Tali wouldn't be able to see them. "What did you need?"

"I was wondering, how many species have space flight capacity?"

"About ten, why?"

"That doesn't make sense," Kyon said quietly, "there is something wrong with the galaxy if there are only a couple handfuls of species with FTL capacity, especially this late in time."

"There were other species, but they are extinct now. Like the Protheans."

Kyon's eyes widened when he heard the word Prothean, "Protheans? Has anyone ever seen one before?"

"No, they died out over fifty-thousand years ago, before even the asari had FTL capabilities."

Kyon crossed his arms, and thought about what it meant. He was sent here by a Prothean, but they died fifty-thousand years ago, which means some survived. He shrugged, "Alright, I think that's all I needed to know. Doctor, do you know of anyway we can get Tali some protection from Saren?"

"You can take her to Fist, he the head of the gang in this district of the Citadel. He bases himself out of Chora's Den. He is an agent for the Shadow Broker, and the shadow broker deals in information. You'll be able to trade it for protection."

"Alright, I'll take her there after she can leave."

"Why are you helping her?" Michelle asked, "most people would turn a blind eye to a quarian in trouble."

"That is what is wrong with this world," Kyon said as he closed his eyes, "too many people who do nothing when someone else is in trouble."

"You are a good man Mr. Salgrins," the doctor said as she put a hand on his shoulder, "Don't let that change."

After talking with Dr. Michelle, Kyon and Tali went to Chora's den to talk with the owner, a gang boss named, Fist, "I don't care if you run a gang, Fist is the worst name ever." Kyon comments as they walk to the Den.

"Do you think we can trust Fist?" Tali asks.

Kyon laughs a little, "I wouldn't trust a man named fist, let alone someone I know runs a gang," he says, "can you modify my earpiece to be a comm device?" He asks.

"Sure, why?" Tali asked

"Because if he doesn't know about me, then I can surprise him if he tries anything," Kyon explains as he gives her the translator.

Tali says something, but Kyon can't understand it. She then opens up the earpiece and starts working on it

Kyon was a little annoyed that he couldn't understand Tali at the moment, but that problem wasn't a problem after she handed him back his translator, "Thanks," he said, putting the Head-piece back on his head.

"No problem," Tali says, "Now let's go meet this Fist."
