Well here's the next chapter by they way if anyone isn't clear on what the slave station is like. The station is like Omega but not as big and a vast majority of the station is just one big bazaar with people buying and selling slaves the rest of the station is places life support artificial gravity and defense systems
Well to say that Thrax was disgusted by everything he saw would be an understatement. Turians, asari, salariens, all in cages looking beaten, bruised, dead. It reminded Thrax of when he sugested slaves back in the rebellion. Krogan ships were like the krogan themselves big and strong but slow and relatively less advanced than the turians, but the krogan could compensate by overwhelming the turian with numbers. The downside of the ships were that krogan were not designed to be ship builders and the krogan had to take the building slow to avoide mistakes. During the rebellion when the krogan were getting stretched thin Thrax came up with the idea of slavery, specifically salariens. Thrax launched an attack on a salarien colony, taking the women and children hostage and forcing the salariens to work in conditions that a vorcha would find despicable, and they live on a world filled with volcanos. This plan as despicable as it was worked, with the salariens speed the krogan were able to shoot out dreadnauts in less than a year. Thrax was shocked out of his memory by a passing batarien trying to sell him an asari who had to be less than one hundred and it took all of Thrax's willpower to not shred him to pieces with a warp field, and instead politely declined. Walking away Thrax got a message from Malice saying the bomb had been planted typing into his omni-tool where to meet him, he meet him over by the auction area, where they sell the high profile slaves.
"And now ladies and gentlemen today we have quite literally a one in a billion chance today we have an Asari Matriarch" this even made Thrax gasp as she appeared. Asari Matriarch are some of the most powerful biotics in the galaxy even Thrax wasn't sure if he could beat one in a biotic fight. Leaving the auction area and running right into Malice knocking him over " oh there you, are I had the most interesting conversation with a plant from Khar'shan-"
"Please shut up can we just move on. How do we get to the control room?"
"Ah see that's the problem I don't know. So I suggest we grab a guard make him talk then we can collect his figures for finger puppets."
"Yes to the first, yes to the second, but no to the fingers. You draw a guard over and I'll overpower him.
Malice was sprawled on the floor and groaning. Thrax called a batarien guard over to investigate and Malice acted, he jumped up yelling "by the power of love you die" Malice kneed the batarien between the legs, sweeped his leg and got on top of him pinning him down.
"What the fuck is going on here you salarien bastard!" Thrax went over pulled Malice off of him and told him to give him 5 minutes.
As much as Thrax didn't didn't want to. He enjoyed torturing the batarien for information and was dissapointed when he didn't last longer. Thrax hated the pleasure he got from the screams and scolded himself "your not that person anymore, you don't torture for fun only, only for information"
Thrax ended the batariens life with a knife slash to the throat after downloading the layout of the ship from the batarian. Leaving Thrax told Malice where to go and they headed out. As good of a hacker as Malice was his combat skills were on par with his piloting skills which were non existence. "Alright Malice this is how it is I fight you stand behind and cower like a salarien got I?"
"Hey my species takes offence to that, even though its true." Thrax just glared at him until he relented " alright fine."
Thrax took out his claymore that he moddified witha larger clip, letting him fire two shots instead of just the one, and with a large jagged blade under the barrel, taking off down a hallway with Thrax leading and Malice directing him. It wasn't long before they found trouble in the form of two batarien guards and without missing a beat Thrax did a biotic charge killing one and stabbing the other with the bayonet. Continuing along they reached the control room and Malice went to work. After about a minute Thrax could hear guards rushing to the control room so taking cover outside the doorway behind a wall once the first guard got close enough Thrax let loose with a carnage attack that caused the turian to explode. While the others were trying to regain their composure Thrax fired his weapon twice taking down two more guards. After seeing three of there fellow guards killed the remaining guards quickly got behind cover and started firring. Thrax spoke into him comm unit "Malace we got trouble how long you gonna be" Thrax asked.
"Not long just have to oh penis" Malace said sounding worried.
"What's the problem"
"This thing is heavily encrypted there's no way I can do this I'd need a week at least."
"Malice there has to be something you can do
"No I haven't seen any encryption like this since I was in th STG. But" Malice said trailing off.
"But what" Thrax asked fiering his claymore and killing two batariens with one shot. Thrax had been hit a few times but left it up to his regeneration.
"I may be able to activate the thrusters and sent this station into the planet below. But I'd have to stay."
Thrax didn't accept that "listen to me Malice. You find another way understand."
"There is no other way. Get back to the ship I can hold out for five minutes"
Thrax was confused " your gonna hold them off for five minutes? You one time shot your own foot trying to reload a pistol"
"I can do it" Malice said with such conviction Thrax believed him but still didn't want to see another friend die, he'd seen more than enough die in the rebellion.
"Can't you just activate the thrusters, point it in the right direction and leave?"
"No these thrusters are poorly made need to pilot this or risk missing the sun completely."
Thrax wanted to argue but he couldn't he could only stand there behind cover and said "Malice I'm sorry"
"I'm not this is the most fun I've had in years. Now go"
Thrax holstered his shotgun feeling a bloodrage coming on but stopped it turning to face the guards who were still alive Thrax charged them and started beating them with his bear hands after the charge he threw a punch right at a batarien on his left which knocked him out or killed him Thrax didn't care. He turned to his right and kicked the knee of a turian making him howl in pain for a split second before Thrax snapped his neck and seeing the remaining two guards two salariens Thrax just used his biotics to throw them into the wall.
Making his way through the market knocking over anyone or anything in his way Thrax made it back to his freighter he got in started the engines and took off once never once looking back but saying "Malice please forgive me"
Well that's that again please tell me what you think good, bad, ugly throw me a bone here.
