Thrax was laying on his bed in the shuttle bay petting Urz and looking at the celling when the elevator sounded and he heard footsteps come towards him. The justicar, Samara was walking towards him and Thrax said "well,well here for a little tumble?"
"I am here to ask for your help." Samara said ignoring his comment.
"What could I help you with?" Thrax said as he sat up and stopped petting Urz, to his great disappointment.
"Do you remember the fugitive I was searching for on Illium?" She asked and continued when Thrax nodded, "I have finally tracked her to Omega."
"What did this fugitive do to get your full attention?" Thrax asked.
"She is an Ardat Yakshi." Samara said simply.
"I've fought a few Ardat Yakshi in my time, all three nearly killed me. I managed to kill them but only by the skin of my teeth."
"You are the only one on this ship that would have a chance at fighting her and winning. I need you to come with me and help me kill her."
Thrax thought a moment and said "fine." Before he started to lay back down.
"There is also one other thing. This Ardat Yakshi is my daughter." Samara said sadly.
Thrax bolted up and looked at her "is that why you became a justicar?"
"I became a justicar four hundred years ago, after my daughter refused to go to the Ardat Yakshi sanctuary and ran."
"Samara... I am so sorry." Thrax said gently.
"I do not want your pity, though it is appreciated, now please, help me kill my long-lost daughter." Samara was almost pleading. Thrax was still for a long time before he slowly nodded which caused Samara to give him a smile.
Thrax went to Shepards cabin and entered and saw Shepard looking at a picture of a human female. When he looked closer, Thrax realized it was the same female from Horizon.
"Shepard I need to get to Omega." Thrax said.
Shepard turned around in his chair and said "why?"
"Personal." Was Thrax's reply.
"Come on Thrax I need a bit more information than that." Shepard said.
"Its personal, meaning I don't want people to know. Now will you set a course for Omega? Or am I going to have to steal a shuttle?"
"Fine." Shepard said before he turned and continued looking at the picture.
"Who is she? Vakarian wouldn't say."
"Her name is Ashley Williams, she helped me stop Saren."
"Were you close?" Shepard just nodded his head.
"Consider yourself lucky. At least the one you love is still alive." Thrax said before he left.
OMEGA
Samara, Thrax and left the Normandy and tried to figure out where to go. "The daily death count on Omega is to high for me to pin-point an Ardat Yakshi's location. However given the reputation of the Ardat Yakshi among the asari, Aria T'loak may have some information." EDI said to the two.
They made there way to Afterlife and walked up to the balcony to talk to Aria. "Aria we need to talk to you alone." Thrax said.
"Why." She asked before she saw Samara and said "everyone clear out!"
"It's an honor Justicar." Aria said to Thrax's enormous surprise.
"We're looking for an Ardat Yakshi." Thrax said.
For the first time since Thrax knew her, Aria looked scared "I should have guessed, nothing leaves a body so empty like an Ardat Yakshi." She muttered.
"You haven't taken measures to eliminate her?" Samara said.
"I wasn't sure it was an Ardat Yakshi." Aria said.
"You said nothing leaves a body. She's already killed someone?" Thrax asked.
"A girl named Ness. Official cause of death was a brain hemorrhage, but only an idiot believes official reports." Aria said before she sent the location to Thrax and said "if she is an Ardat Yakshi, then good luck killing her." Nodding Thrax and Samara walked to the apartment. Inside was a weeping mother that made Thrax very uncomfortable, he didn't do crying. Samara went over and comforted her and they got permission to search Ness's room. After examining her holo-diary, they discovered the password to Afterlife's VIP room and that Ness did meet up with an asari before she died.
Once they left Samara spoke to him "this is Morinth's work. She impresses with sophistication and sex appeal, her body speaks to you on many levels, offering you pleasure unimaginable."
"The more I hear about an Ardat Yakshi the more they sound like a highly evolved predator, than a genetic defect." Thrax said.
"If we're going to capture her we'll need a plan. You'll need to go into the VIP room, alone, unarmed."
"This is a terrible idea. Besides from what I heard in the diary Morinth sounds more into artist, I don't know anything about art." Thrax said.
"This is the only plan we have. Please Thrax." Samara said.
"Your gonna get me killed. But I'll do it." They walked to the VIP section and said the password and Thrax entered alone.
Right as he got in some human came and talked to him and said "hey you got any Expel 10 tickets. I met this girl and I need them. I wanna, I wanna do something special."
Thrax wasn't sure if this guy was high, drunk, or completely fucked up but he said "nope sorry, but tell me, the asari you met, is she in here?" He asked.
The guy looked around for a moment and said "nope I don't see her."
Thrax walked to the bar but he heard "back off! I aint no whore!" One asari dancer was saying to a turian.
"You got a mouth on you! Can't wait to see you use." The turian said.
"Hey! The lady asked you to back off." Thrax said to the turian.
"What you want in on this? Then wait your turn krogan."
Those words struck a memory. The night he saved Cary from two batarians. Finished talking he slammed his palm against the turians forehead, knocking him out. Turning to the asari he said gently "are you alright?"
She walked up and kissed his cheek and said "thanks for that, security was asleep."
Moving away from the asari he walked to the bar but he overheard a human and a turian talking about who to rob tonight. He walked up to the pair and said "listen to me your not robbing anyone tonight." "What's it to you krogan?" The human asked "I'm the one who's going to kill you both if you don't get out of here now." Thrax growled. They both scampered out faster than Thrax thought was possible.
Thrax noticed an asari in a black outfit similar to the one the Miranda wore, except this was fully black. "My names Morinth, I've got a booth in the corner, why don't you come join me." They sat and talked for a while, Thrax avoided the issue of justicars, but he focused on the artist Forta, the band Expel 10, and the movie Vaennia. Facts he learned from the holo-diary. "Do you want to come back to my place? Your interesting and I want you all alone." Thrax got up and followed Morinth and caught sight of Samara in the corner of his eye.
Morinths apartment was reasonably sized with a number of high-priced items, a krogan statue dating back to before the rachni wars, a reverant assault rifle, a sword, and some others that Thrax didn't recognize. Thrax sat down on her couch across from her. "Tonight I want you why is that?"
"Your attracted to power. And I have power." Thrax said.
She got closer and said "that explains why I'm here but why are you?"
"I'm attracted to people who've killed."
"What makes you think I've killed?" She said almost innocently.
"I know a killer when I see it."
"Oh I need this." She said as she climbed on his lap and her eyes changed to pure black and said "look into my eyes. Tell me you want me. Tell me you need me."
Thrax felt an urge to obey, what ever this asari wanted he'd give but then he remembered Samara and with great effort said "you've lost asari" and with a wave of his hand sent her flying into a wall across from him.
"How did you? Oh I see the bitch found a helper!" She said before she launched a warp at him which he blocked with a shield with one hand and used the other to lift up a chair out of her line of sight and slammed it into the back of her head. She fell to the floor but used a nova to knock him away as he got closer to finish her off. She picked him up with her biotics and held him in place before she lifted a sword with her biotics and hurled it right into his chest which sent him flying backwards into the krogan statue smashing it.
"Well so far I'm doing better in this fight than I did against the other ones I've fought." Thrax thought as he pulled the sword from his chest. Thrax lifted every piece of the broken statue and threw them at Morinth, who managed to dodge all of them before throwing him into a wall again. At that moment Samara walked in with her biotics glowing and slammed Morinth into the window. Thrax wasn't able to hear the conversation between the two before Samara launched an attack that killed her.
She ran over to Thrax, concern clear on her face and said "are you alright?" She then noticed the hole in his chest and said "oh goddess!"
"Don't worry it'll heal give it an hour." Thrax felt his breath coming in rasps and said "make that a day, I think the bitch punctured one of my lungs."
She helped Thrax up and Samara looked at Morinth. Thrax noticed how sad she looked and did something that surprised even him.
He hugged her.
She tried to brush him off at first but eventually she stopped and just stood there. "I cannot imagine just how hard that must be for you. I am so sorry." Thrax said.
"Thank you." She said with tears in her eye. He eventually let go and the two walked to the ship.
