Time for another shout out this time to GethPrime89 for following my story.
When Thrax finally woke up, he was strapped to a table in a cell. His vision was distorted and he kept hearing a kind of buzzing. That was all he remembered before he blacked out.
Waking up again he saw two humans wearing white lab coats and were standing over him. This time he could hear them "fantastic regeneration! He was shot six times and with no medical help managed to completely recover from two broken ribs, two collapsed lungs and a partially collapsed one to, his regeneration capabilities are equal, possibly even superior to that of a vorcha! " This human sounded giddy.
Thrax couldn't hear the what the other human was saying before he blacked out again.
Thrax woke up a third time and completely returned to his senses. "If we could find out what makes him regenerate so quickly, that may give humanity what it needs to surpass the other aliens" the voice said alien like it was an insult.
Thrax could hear another voice "very well doctor you may go ahead with the dissection."
Dissection? Oh fuck that, Thrax thought. He was bound to the table by a metal. So he started to flex him body until he finally broke free.
The human doctor spun around and had a look of shock and terror on his face. "You broke free?"
"That's right you bitch! You think I'm going to let you dissect me!?" Thrax roared at the human.
On the screen behind the shaking doctor Thrax saw a human wearing a business suit, with a smoking stick in his mouth. But the thing that Thrax found the most disturbing was his eyes, they were a steely machine like blue. Thrax grabbed the human by the neck. He then looked at the monitor and said "listen human I don't know who you are but I'm going to find you."
"Doubtful. Seeing as you're not going to make it out of this facility alive." The human said with a voice completely void of all emotions.
"You think this is the first time I've been held in a facility? You humans really are fucking dumb!" Thrax said before he smashed the screen.
Thrax looked back at the human he was still holding and said your going to get me out of here now!"
"I don't think so alien freak" he spat.
Thrax very calmly grabbed his arm and bent it the wrong way causing the human to scream in pain.
"Alright I'll let you out but you'll never escape this facility!"
Thrax ignoring that last remark brought him over to the door and the human opened it. Stepping through Thrax was met with a dozen humans with assault rifles pointed at him.
"Alright alien. Put the doctor down and go back in your cell" a human said. The solders around him were wearing white armor with an orange logo on the upper arm.
Thrax deciding he had enough threw the doctor into the group of solders which caused one of the solders guns to go flying. Thrax used his biotics to pull the gun to him and charged towards the remaining humans.
Running away from the humans Thrax was going in a random direction and just praying he was going in the right direction. He could hear alarms going off along with an automated announcement "attention all personal, we have an escaped test subject on level one-delta, lethal force is authorized."
"Heh so I'm a test subject? Never been one of those before" Thrax said to himself. Thrax could hear footsteps of solders coming towards him and quickly ducked into a room to his left.
Inside the room he found more humans most likely scientists shot one of them.
"Do I have your attention?" He shouted they responded with a nod.
"Good now" he pointed the gun towards one scientist and said "you where am I?"
"Your on the Cerberus station Daedalus."
"What the fuck is Cerberus?" Thrax asked.
"We're a pro-humanity organization."
"Nick will you shut up?! This alien garbage" the human didn't get a chance to finish before Thrax shot him without taking his eyes off the newly named Nick human.
"Now, point me towards the docking bay or you'll join your bigot friend."
Nick started spouting out direction so fast that a salarien wouldn't be able to keep up.
Once Thrax got him to slow down and get was able to understand him Thrax backed out of the room and made his way towards the docking bay.
Running down a long hallway two solders were at the other end. Thrax charged with his biotics, which threw him into the wall opposite of him before he turned, grabbed the other human, slammed his helmeted head against the bulkhead before throwing him to the ground and shooting his head before he continued running again.
Thrax was slowly but surely making his way towards the docking bay. Coming to the end of a hallway Thrax went left and charged through a door and was greeted by close to fifty armored troops. For a full second both sides just stared at each other in complete silence before Thrax said "I'm sorry I was looking for the bathroom. I'll just be going now." Thrax said before firing a few shots at the group killing at least seven solders before he turned and ran the other way.
This is just not my day Thrax thought to himself as he felt a few stray shots hitting his barrier. Throwing a few biotic attacks back at the pursuing solders. Thrax finally reached a hanger and was fortunate that it had a ship. "What a piece of shit!" Thrax thought.
"Stop!" A female voice said turning he saw a female human with long black hair and was wearing a suit that looked like it was more suited for a strip club, not what ever the hell this Cerberus thing was.
"Sorry honey but if Cerberus is going to try to stop me with a stripper there a smaller threat than I thought."
She glowed blue and said "if you lay down your weapons and surrender I guarantee that you will be treated with respect and will not be harmed."
"In what star system would I ever surrender to weak humans like you?" Thrax snarled, glowing blue himself.
Thrax threw a ball of biotic energy at the human who, to his surprise, managed to stop it with a shield. She threw her own ball at Thrax who blocked it with a lazy backhand.
"You humans still have so much to learn about biotics!" Thrax said before he punched the ground causing a powerful shockwave to cascade along the ground.
The human, not expecting that, couldn't throw up a proper defense and was thrown back into the wall.
Thrax, satisfied that he could now prep the ship without interruption got aboard the ship and went to the cockpit. His fingers flying over the controls he brought the engines online and flew out.
Thrax brought the shields online and started to punch in the coordinates for the nearest mass relay when he felt the ship shudder. They were firing at him praying that the shields help up, Thrax took the helm and started evasive maneuvers.
During the rebellion Thrax had trained as a pilot before his biotics manifested. Thrax pushed the ship into a double spin to avoid a barrage of laser fire and, with the coordinate finally locked went into a FTL jump.
Citadel
Thrax arrived at the citadel and instantly went to the bank. Thanks to those Cerberus ass heads he lost the only thing in this galaxy that still mattered. His claymore shotgun. Now he was going to have to order one and waste twenty thousand in fees for everything he lost.
Buying a new pistol, something called a Carnifex and a new omni-tool, he quickly put out feelers to every one of his information brokers. Then he went to the financial district on the presidium to talk to Barla Von, rumor has it he worked for the shadow broker him/her/itself.
"Welcome to the Von Financial Aid office . How may I help you Turchanka Clan?"
"Are you Barla Von?" Thrax said in a tone that made the question sound like a threat.
Although to his surprise the volus didn't flinch, cower, or even hesitate when he answered "yes. Now how may I help you?"
"Drop the financial aid shit. I know you work for the shadow broker and I need information!" Thrax roared.
Barla Von said in a still calm voice "very well but you'll have to wait. I'm just the one you go through to get in touch with the Shadow Brokers agents. When he's ready to meet he'll sent you a message."
"Fine but he'd better not keep me waiting too long." Thrax said as he turned to leave.
NEXT DAY
Thrax was sitting in a bar listening to the news.
"Now we bring you to Jane Valderama, bringing you an exclusive interview with the Hero of Elysium himself Lieutenant Commander Jack Shepard."
When Thrax saw the Commanders face he bolted up from his chair. That was the human who shot him in the chest six times.
"Thank you for agreeing to this interview Commander."
"Its my pleasure ma'am." Shepard said.
"Now Commander everyone knows your reputation. A fierce solders and a powerful biotic but many of our viewers have asked us about you past. Your childhood."
"I was born and raised on ships. My mother, Captain Hannah Shepard, is the executive officer of the dreadnought Kilimanjaro. My father, god rest his soul, was in the First Contact War, he gave his life for a the rest of his squad."
"I apologize Commander. It was not my intention to seem insensitive" Valderama said.
"Its alright I've come to terms with my father's death. I am sad he died by I am proud he died a hero."
"Strong words Commander. Now sources have informed us that roughly a month ago you were sent to Akuze and-"
"I'm afraid I can't comment on that ma'am." Shepard said his posture stiff his voice shaky what ever happened on Akuze must have been terrible.
Thrax stopped listening once his omni-tool beeped. He was to meet the shadow brokers agent in some bar called Chora's Den down in the wards.
Thrax finished his ryncol and paid before he made his way towards the elevator.
Thrax arrived at Chora's Den, a strip club to his surprise, and walked in, a krogan approached him and said "you Thrax?"
"Yeah. Who wants to know?"
"My boss works for the Shadow Broker follow me" he said.
He led Thrax away from the club and into the back. Opening the door Thrax saw the agent was a human.
"Rank who the fuck is this?!" Fist shouted.
"The bounty hunter who wanted the information on Cerberus."
"Ah yes ok. Now krogan do you have the money?" Fist asked.
"Let's skip this whole thing" Thrax said as he sent the money to Fist. "Now give me the information." Thrax growled.
"Alright hold on! I just have to verify that it's the amount." He said as he looked at his terminal. Once he nodded and mumbled something to himself he forwarded the info to Thrax and said "its been a pleasure doing business with you."
Thrax didn't respond to him. He just opened his omni-tool and looked at what information he bought. So there are compounds on a lot of worlds. Project Phoenix Labs on Binthu,and Nepheron. Enhance biotic potential? Heh a powerful human biotic, that be something to see.
Going back to the ship he stole from Cerberus, Thrax started it up and set in the coordinates for Binthu.
"Mind as well read up on the Intel." Thrax thought to himself.
Cerberus
A pro-human survival group, Cerberus is the unofficial humans equivalent of the salarien STG. Created by a veteran of the First Contact War named Jack Harper. For reasons unknown an encounter with a mysterious artifact, turned the human's eyes to a cold blue, looking almost like cybernetic, less than two years later a message was sent to every electronic device capable of receiving messages with the following message.
Humans need a guardian to make sure that an event like Shanxi never happens again. The Human System Alliance say that they put humans first but they're to busy trying to make nice with the aliens that tried to destroy us. Humanity needs a true protector. Humanity needs a Cerberus to guard the Charon relay.
Most System Alliance officials had declared the message and the writer to be nothing more than a practical joke. However twelve days later terrorist managed to board the SSV Geneva and steal a large amount of anti-matter. There were heavy casualties on both sides however one terrorist member managed to survive long enough to give a name of his organization.
And thus Cerberus was born.
Between the next ten years there were multiple cases of assassinations, unethical experiments on humans and aliens, but Cerberus's most daring operation by far, the sabotage of three starships filled with element zero, causing them to explode over two colonies. Thousands of human fetus's were exposed to element zero. Only twenty-one percent of the exposed fetus's developed the necessary "eezo nodes" required for biotic ability's. The remaining eighty-nine percent suffered from a variety of afflictions ranging from tumors and cancer to no harmful effects at all.
"Wow, if humans are willing to do shit like this to their own people maybe the turians should have bombed them to the stone age. While there at it they should have bombed us to. Krogan have done much worse."
BINTHU
Thrax landed about two KM from where the actual base. Thrax made his way towards it. He stopped two hundred meters from the base and brought out a scope, designed for a krogan, to get a closer look at the base its self. Six guards and an automated turret. Using the skills he learned from a quarien he met on Noveria, he hacked the turret and made it see every organic as a hostile. The guards never stood a chance. They were dead within five seconds. Disabling the turret, Thrax then walked up to the door which was to his surprise not locked and walked in.
Thrax walked through the base and what he saw was enough to make him feel disgusted. Thrax saw a large room that with human children strapped to tables, some were getting injections, Thrax didn't even know what the others were doing and he didn't care. Throwing out any semblance of a plan he loudly entered the room aimed his shotgun and blew the head off of one human. Thrax pulled another towards him lifted him up and bent him, so the back of his head could touch his feet. Thrax threw a huge biotic flare which sent two remaining humans into a wall at lethal speed.
Thrax heard a small noise from behind him so he spun around and saw a human whimpering in the corner. Thrax pulled the human to him, but before he could snap him in half like he did before the human cried out "no please wait!"
Thrax looked this pathetic excuse for a human in the face and said "give me one reason why I shouldn't snap your fucking NECK!"
"Please I surrender! What is it you want?"
"What I want is you and every fucking Cerberus ass hat dead" Thrax said feeling rage he hasn't felt since Cary died.
"Please I can give you information I can give you anything!"
The darker part of Thrax was telling him to snap this human in half, but the more rational part of his mind was telling him that he might have info that the shadow broker doesn't have.
"
You are going to tell me every site of every Cerberus base you know. Then I'll either kill you, or take you with me and give you to the alliance now TALK!"
He spouted out a huge list of planets, many of which were on the list he received, a few however were not on the list. Thrax ordered the human to go and gather every child in the base and gather every environmental suit in this base. Thrax might be cold-hearted but even he had standards. The human returned with multiple suits, to big for the children but they would have to make due. He told the children in his soft voice to put on the suits, they were getting out of here.
On the way back to the ship Thrax, not needing an environmental suit, felt something grab one of his fingers. He looked down and saw a human male was holding onto one of his fingers. "are you taking us away from the bad people" he asked in a small voice.
"Don't worry child, they'll never hurt you again" Thrax said in his kind voice.
CITADEL
Thrax was on his way towards the human embassy with the Cerberus scientist. He'd arrived and walked past the secretary ignoring the protests of the asari secretary and walked right into the human ambassadors office.
"Who the hell are you" the human shouted.
"Thrax ignored him, looked at the scientist and said "what's his name?"
"Dominic Udina"
"Listen Udina I have a ship full of children I rescued from a Cerberus lab and this" Thrax said as he shoved the scientist forward, "is the lead scientist."
Udina calmed down and said "if what you're saying is true than the alliance thanks you."
"If I was you I try to get rid of those Cerberus ass hats before they start a war on behalf of humanity."
Thrax turned and left but not before he punched the human not hard enough to kill him but enough to knock him out.
that that that that that's all folks
now tell me what you think I need reviews. I'm not to proud to beg.
