The two was forced to wait on the empty planet for their second cruiser. Their objective at this moment was to keep Thanose alive. Zaeed pulled off Thanose's upper armor and wrapped around shreds of the tents around camp. Blood still seeped through the fabric but not in an alarmed rate. For Thanose, Zaeed's clear words turned into a dull blur. His mind trailed off to the day that would lead to his path.

In Thanose's case he was a protege to the council. He was the key to restore power in his race. The Council never saw the Drell as a power that deserved to be part of the most powerful team. Humans recently earned their place as Spectres and they out number Drell 10-1. While Humans were knew to galactic space, they had large numbers and were a force to be controlled. Drell on the other hand almost faced extinction after the destruction of their homeworld. The only reason they live today is because of a race of deformed and pink jellyfish called Hanar. Haar don't see themselves as themselves, and think their minds are speakers of their body. They speak of words like "This one thinks" or "This body". The Hanar saved the Drell race and brought them to their home planet. Thanks to the Hanar, the Drell can live again and slowly rebuild their former power. They were given that chance with a Spectre position, but he had to be evaluated by the most ignorant Spectre on the force. The Asari believed that her race overpowered every other with their intelligence, biotic ability, their army, and had the most advanced civilization in today's time. His first evaluation was the perfect time for her to get rid of a "lower presence". They traveled to a remote human colony to disarm a fleet of nuclear missiles. She would throw Thanose in a radiation pit to reach the controls to stop the missiles from their launch. He was able to disarm the launch controls with mere hopes of his life. When he did manage to escape the radioactive hole he learned a third of the colony's population was gone and arrested. The ones that remained told the truth of their missile presence. They gained knowledge of an imminent attack that would leave the colony empty. But now the missiles would never launch, nobody would dare to go down the pit or would have the skill to restart the missiles. And Thanose knew he wouldn't be able to do anything about it. He was already alerted that the Council reported him killed in action and all of his records destroyed. If he did return to Citadel space and got caught, he would be considered a deserter and spend the rest of his life locked up.

"Thanose." Thanose felt a hard slap drag across his face. "Thanose answer the man!" Zaeed twisted Thanose's face to look at the man dressed in white.

"Where am I?" Thanose spoke in a daze.

Zaeed waved his hand at Thanose's eyes. "You have lost it. The cruiser grabbed us and in simple terms, he needs a sanity check before he can properly cut you open."

"Just do it."

That's the last time he saw Zaeed and traded his raids for a map. He started from phase one again and searched to galaxy for the Asari. He watched his health deteriorate away while his hunt began to slip away. The few contacts he still had gave him a piece of the hope that he thought was entirely gone. He learned of her public address on the Citadel at the same place he was indoctrinated into the Spectres. He slipped through the Citadel's security and bypassed his way through to the Citadel Tower where the meeting was held for the public. He slowly pushed through the large crowd of people to the front. He hid behind a row of people but kept his attention on the lies the Asari spoke. He never broke eye contact as he attached the minimum pieces of a hand crafted gun. He slid in a single round down the barrel and cocked it back. Time slowed for Thanose, as he pushed past the last man he could see security and the Asari all turn to him. Their arms leisurely reach for their guns and run to him. His own body was slow, his arm gradually went up. He could see the explosive bang that went off and the bullet that sped off. His eyes followed along the bullet that went toward the Asari. He could also see her aura build up around the bullet. But the instant it connected with her nose, time went normal. The screams finally kicked in and the hults of soldiers echoed. He felt bullets and tasers enter his body. The only thing he regretted at that moment was that he wasn't dead on the floor with the Asari. He was allowed life to live behind a cell. He only had a few months to live, but it wouldn't be worth to breathe. He was locked deep in isolation. Given no chance to use his biotics and no chance of life. He carved tallies into the wall with his fingers, by day fifteen all his fingertips were slashed up and callused.

"You have a visitor." a man through the intercom spoke.

"I thought I wasn't permitted for those!" Thanose yelled.

Thanose turned to the nearly clear electric field and saw a woman with black hair in a tight white hexagon catsuit. She stood outside the field with her arms crossed and leaned on her back foot.

"Sorry I can't lean on the field to make myself look cool or something." Thanose smirked.

"I know of your situation and I offer help. The people I represent has an experimental drug that can help you. We can even get you out of this place. You only have to sign a few papers for us." She said.

"I got at most fifteen days and I'm not up for anything like that. I see the emblem on your chest. You're Cerberus. I know of your mission with that weird monsters, I visited the colony you tried to help them but yeah we interrupted. I did what I wanted to do, I got my revenge. But I know a man who can easily take my place. The only problem is he has a thing for Geth."

"What thing?"

"He takes the parts and tries to rebuild them. He only has one that works but offer him something with that and… well he's your man."

"Are you sure? You can live a full life without a problem."

"Yeah. Good luck with him."
