Planet Noveria.

Year, 2183 C.E.


Closing into the hanger, Shepard takes a look at his compatriots after finishing checking on his sidearm. Turning his gaze to Wrex, he see's to his somewhat worry that the Krogan is eagerly waiting to be led out into a brawl; but still hold a bit of calmness in his body. To Garrus who is right next to him, he has finished updating his visor with his new Avenger IV Assault rifle with its modifications.

Hearing a clack as the two alliance soldiers Kaiden and Ashley go about slapping a new ammo block into their weapons. Tali is checking on her diagnostics of her shields and suit. But to Shepard's immediate interest is the two new people going onto the mission. Liara, who is around Ashley's size, is wearing a spare suit of Onyx III and an side pistol that she found. Looking worried as this is her second foray into combat, Shepard replies. "Mrs. T'Soni." This causes her to jump in place as she stutters out. "Y-Yes Commander?" Remembering how jumpy Jenkins was jittery on his first mission and not wanting a repeat of what occurred to him, Shepard then puts his right hand onto her shoulder to calm her down.

"Call me Shepard, ok?" Shepard replies before getting a nod from the Asari before he continues. "Are you sure you want to head out again?" He gets a pause from the century old Asari before she replies somewhat shyly. "Yes, I want to be of use to you outside of the research into the Protheans and your mind..." Liara is then rebuffed by Wrex saying. "If you don't cower in place again like last time." Shepard is about to reply to the Experienced Krogan when the last member to go out with him beats him to it. "If she wants to prove herself then let her. If she slows down then I'll pick up the slack." Adam replies as he shakes his hands about.

Garrus then has to look at their newest companion with some scrutiny. "I only hope that you can back that up Weather-man." Adam only looks at the nick-name in somewhat surprise before laughing at it. "That's a pretty good one pal. I'm going to have to remember that." Adam then only reassuringly pats Liara on her back. "Now..." Feeling the ship stop in place, Adam continues. "Let's Rock." Going through the door before anyone can stop him, Adam then is greeted by the cold wind on his metallic body to his surprise. "This way smart guy." Ashley replies as she goes past him to the other side of the catwalk. Letting out a sound of annoyance, Adam only obliges by following the group somewhat begrudgingly.


Play The Stranger I remain, Dual mix.

Heading up to the checkpoint, Adam is then greeted with 1 human female and 2 human males to her sides. "Freeze." The woman demands as she then points at Shepard. "I thought It was said that I was a Specter for confirmation?" Shepard replies confused as one of the males next to the female sergeant makes a quick scoff at this. "A human Spectre? Are you kidding me?" The other man jokes aswell. "What's next? Krogan Hippies?" Wrex Growls at this and is about to pull out his shotgun to release said anger, but Adam only holds his arms across to make him back off slightly.

"Take that back you son-of-a-Bitch." Adam says in a threatening voice as the guy only scoffs at this. "What? The human spectre part or the Krogan Hipp-!?" The guy only freezes in place alongside the other guards as Adam is infront of his face with a HF Knife touching his lower jaw which goes through his barrier and onto his skin, searing it slightly as the group can't believe what is happening. "Say you're sorry or else you're gonna lose half of your face punk." Adam confirms as the female sergeant pulls out her shotgun to point at Adam's face. "Get away from my subordinate now!" She demands only for the group to pull out their weapons and abilities in preparence for a fight.

"I don't think you heard me clearly." Adam replies once again before smashing his empty right hand into the nearby part of the wall, obliterating it quite loudly to the female sergeants shock alongside everyone else. "Say..Sorry." Adam repeats to which the guy starts to panic as Adam says. "Oh well, looks like you are going to need a new guard lady." To this, Adam prepares to cut the guy but he then quickly shouts. "Ok! Ok! I'm Sorry! God-Damn!" Adam then smiles before replying. "Thank you." and then takes his weapon away before walking back to the group. "Sergeant Yamada stand down! It's confirmed that he's a Spectre!" A voice over the comms replies which causes Yamada to put down her weapon alongside everyone else.

"Get going now." Yamada replies as Shepard nods to this. Walking through the doors, the man who was grabbed by Adam then immediately uses some medigel on his face to ease the pain.


Inside the building.

"What in the hell was that?" Shepard demands to Adam as he only starts walking up the steps, gathering quite a bit of attention due to his attire. "If I didn't do it, Wrex would've knocked him off of the railing and then hell would've happened. Just saved time." Adam replies before walking through the scanner infront of the building, the alarm going off to which multiple weapon turrets pop up infront of him and he prepares to pull his weapons out...

"Wait!" A voice quickly sounds out to Adam's notice. Taking his hand off of the sheath holding the sakabato, Adam then turns to see the person belonging to the voice, an Asari, reply. "Sorry, the system does this against people carrying weapons. It's a safety precaution." After finishing apologizing, the Asari pushes a couple of buttons on a glowing console on her hand to Adam's interest before the Turrets retract.

Walking up to the counter, Shepard then replies. "Excuse me ma'am?" Turning her attention from Adam to the person asking her the question, she answers. "Yes Spectre?" Shepard inwardly grimaces as he wants people to use his name instead of Spectre, but one thing at a time. "Has anything gone through here beside us that was unusual?" Shepard asks as the Asari only ponders for a moment.

"An Asari Matriarch was just through here a little while ago. I believe her name was Benezia..yes, Matriarch Benezia and her guards came through here just a couple of days ago." Liara then immediately replies "What? She's here?" Adam only looks at the girl before replying. "Someone you know?" To this Liara then nods before whispering in his ears. "She's my mother." Quirking an eye to this, Adam only replies. "Well..then it's a good thing you can meet up with her right? You can probably tell her how you're doing and all." Adam then gets a facepalm from Shepard which only makes him further confused.

Liara then mutters into his ear once again. "She's working with Saren..." Wincing at this, Adam then apologizes to Liara. "Sorry bout that...wait...does that mean that my contract includes her into the equation?" Adam ponders as Shepard and Liara widen their eyes at this info before Liara then waves her hands quickly to get his attention. "No! You just need to knock her out!" To this Adam nods after finally understanding the situation.

"Ok, Got it." Adam answers before seeing the group finally get through the scanner without anymore problems. "So let's go and give her one heck of a reunion." Adam jokes before walking forward. "Is he going to be this distracting for our mission Commander?" Ashley inquires as Shepard only shrugs.

5 minutes later.

"I told you I'm sorry alright!" Adam apologizes loudly to Shepard as he only frustratingly walks to the head of the facility. "Sorry? You were going to eviscerate an Elcor!" Shepard retorts before Adam once again continues. "How was I supposed to know it was an alien! It looked like a Jellyfish to me! And I know that they conduct Electrolytes quite well so I was..." Adam is interrupted by Garrus who is trying to keep himself from laughing at this situation. "Planning to make him into sushi?" Adam only looks at the Turian before answering. "Yeah!" Garrus only starts to snort at this info to which Shepard only facepalms.

"Look, we'll get you more food after the mission alright!" Shepard promises to Adam so to get through the day somewhat easier. "Ok...but you'd better hurry up! I was tought to grab energy where I can!" Adam states as they reach the desk of the receptionist. "Hello, Mr. Shepard? You can go talk with the director now." the lady replies as she lets everyone but Adam go into the room.

"Oh come on...Why can't I go in there!?" Adam complains as the lady admits to him. "Because I need to talk to you about something." This peaks Adam's interest as he then quits his whining before replying. "I'm listening." Adam then gets an answer from the receptionist replies. "I know that guy in there, he won't let you guys leave this place unless you leave the planet itself."

"Well then why did you send Shepard into...oh wait I get it. A diversion, smart." Adam compliments the women before asking. "So what do I need to do to get to there then?" Adam, while having great weapons, has to follow one of Shepards rules...No destroying stuff when he's not there! "Well, talk to a Turian named Lorik Qui'in. He should be at the Hotel bar upstairs." The women replies as Adam nods to this. "Thank you miss?" "Parasini, Gianna Parsini." Gianna replies to which the 'Weather-man' as Garrus joked, thanks her.

After he does this, Adam hears Shepard come out of the office in the back in frustration. "Damnit, stupid politicians." Ashley mutters as Garrus replies. "Some thing's never change." "We need to find a way to get into the facility-.""I think that has solved itself Shepard." Adam interrupts the Commander as he gets off of the desk to gesture for the group to follow him.

Shrugging as they had no better plans, the group follows him to the elevator in the Hotel. "So what's the plan?" Shepard inquires as Adam answers. "That secretary Gianna Parsini told me a way to get us on our way. We have to find a Turian named Lorik Qui'in, apparently him and that guy Annaleis don't get along as she was afraid he was watching us talk on the camera's." The group look at eachother in some form of surprise at this knowledge. "Well...that's resourcefull." Wrex admits as they stop on their floor. Getting out of the cramped Elevator, Shepard is immediately talked to by some employee.

"That Male human at the hotel bar, he's a sales rep for Binary Helix. His name is Rafeal Vargas. I need you to speak with him." Shepard, who is surprised at such an random request, replies. "Do you know who I am?" He then gets a response in a monotone voice from the asari in front of him. "Everyone here knows who you are, dull stone. That Makes you ideal for my job. You are a known Quantity. Or so Vargas will Think. He will assume you are here to investigate his company's dirty laundry. That will Distract him from your*This gets a quirk of the eye from Shepard as the asari corrects her statement.*-my-real intentions."

Before Shepard can even think of the legality of such a thing, he is interrupted by Adam pushing the Asari from him before replying in a loud voice which is large enough to catch a good number of people's attention. "Sorry lady, but Corporate Espionage is a bloody job in of itself and we aren't here to play a war for you or your moneybags." Adam then see's that the person in question, Rafeal Vargas, widen his eyes and quickly double check his omni-tool for any intrusion. Letting out a quick breath of displeasement, the Asari starts to reply. "That was a dumb move human, you should just stay out of our wa-!?" The Asari is interrupted by Adam slamming his sheathed weapon into her neck, causing her to wheeze from the lack of air.

"Be quiet or else I'm going to need to shed some blood in this place of dining, and I don't want to be the one cleaning up all of what is returned here either. So why don't you just go back to your deskjob and have less worry of a cybernetic human with swords about to cut you in half." To emphasize said threat, Adam then starts to pull out the Muramasa blade, to which causes the Asari to bolt in shock at this. "Tch! Does anyone in this place even have the courage to do anything?" Adam replies aloud his frustration as he puts the slightly pulled out blade back into the sheath. Before anyone of Shepard's group can reply to that, a person raises his glass to Adam's statement. "I believe that we all do human, its just a question of whether we want to or not."

Turning his gaze toward the speaker, Adam is greeted by Turian that they were looking for, Lorik Qui'in. Gesturing for him to sit down, Adam gladly does so as he looks directly at the person who they were going to talk to. "Afternoon, do you want a drink?" Lorik inquires as Adam looks at the menu...and then decides against ordering anything as he has no clue what is in any of the food/drinks. "Sorry, not thirsty. But thanks for the offer." Adam politely replies while putting his hands onto the table, fingers interwoven with eachother. Shrugging at this, Lorik replies. "Whatever suits you just fine Human." Lorik then takes another drink from his cup before Adam decides to inquire about why Gianna said that he could help him.

"I was told by someone that you could help us get a way out of here and into a facility on the planet...is that true?" Adam then see's a pause from the turian as he then turns his full attention to the cyborg ninja. "And if it's true?" "If it gets me to prove to the man behind me that I can do a mission then I'll do it." Adam answers as if it was as true as the world was a small part of the universe.

Sighing at this, Lorik puts his glass down to begin talking further. "Well, you know my name, but I guess you didn't know that I'm the Manager for the local Synthetic Insights office...atleast for the moment." "For the moment?" Kaiden asks as he raises an eyebrow. "Mr. Anoleis closed my office. He claims to be investigating reports of my corruption." Lorik then takes a pause before continuing. "The administrator is an interesting man. He has become quite wealthy since he took control of rents." Adam then realizes the reasons why he is in trouble.

"So he found out you were gathering evidence and while you are out here, sulking, he is ravaging your office to be implanting evidence that will make you seem guilty..am I correct Mr. Qui'in?" Adam replies with the somewhat manager sighing. "Yes. His hired goons are Ransacking my office to find it at this moment..." Looking around at the group, Lorik continues. "I suspect your goal lies outside this port...which Mr. Anoleis is disinclined to do. If you can recover the evidence from my office. I will give you my garage pass, as well as a sum of credits." Lorik is then stopped from further continuing as Adam raises his hand before looking at Shepard. "If you want Commander, I can do this myself while you guys get some R and R." Adam asks as Shepard shakes his head. "Nah, I think we can handle a few hired thugs without too much trouble...right guys?" Shepard then gets a nod from the group(Liara doing is somewhat hesitantly.).

Turning his attention back to Lorik, Adam replies. "So...any plan's you have? Or do you want uis to rampage a little?" Quirking an eye at the last part, Lorik replies. "I do have a plan. However, there is one other...what is that charming human expression? 'Fly in the lotion'? Violence against Mr. Anoleis thugs may be necessary. He has members of Henshan's security team searching my offices. He is paying them under the table. Ms. Matsuo, the head of the security team and who you've probably met at the gate to this wonderful little place Anolies has, is unaware of their outside employment."

Shepard, realizing that he may have to kill cops, is about to object when Adam replies. "Done." This causes the group to look at him shocked (Wrex slightly less as he has done it once before, but the quick reply takes him off guard.)before Lorik continues. "Excellent. Here is my pass into our offices. It will activate the elevator." Alongside the pass is a small device that Adam has no clue of its purpose, but takes it anyway as Lorik replies. "The evidence is on my office computer. This OSD contains an encryption key to access it. Slide it into the drive on the computer and it will auto-execute." Walking away from the table, Adam hears what the Turian replies next. "Oh, and do try to keep the blood stains off the carpets would you?"

Waving to the Turian as he makes his way up the stairs, Adam is immediately caught up to by Shepard who quickly replies. "What in the hell are you doing!? Are you trying to cause a scene!?" Adam only shrugs Shepard aside before continuing further ahead. "I told you that I could handle things by myself, now you have to see first hand how a desperado operative operates...besides, this isn't the first time i've killed corrupt security forces." Adam replies before rounding the corner. Shepard, cursing under his breath, motions for the group to hustle as they quickly double time it up the staircase. By the time they reach the top, they see no sign of the cyborg. "Son of a bitch!" Ashley curses as Kaiden replies. "How in the hell did he-!?" Shepard only shakes his head before seeing a flash of silver by the nearby Krogan down the hall. "Their he is!" Garrus proclaims as they then charge forward, trying to bottleneck the guy. What happened next is that the said cyborg is nowhere in the room!?

"Huh!?" Tali starts as she re-checks her sensors. What they do notice in the said room is one HF Knife imbedded near the middle computer? Going closer, Shepard realizes that the computer was used to send some message and not in any legal form. Beginning the hack, Shepard doesn't notice Adam looking at him from above before going outside the door upside down silently and toward the elevator...

Reading the logs, Shepard sees that apparently some doctor is apparently in danger and in the Newton system..."I'll have to check this out later. Right now however..." Shepard starts as he picks up the HF knife, the blade vibrating in his hands before he hears a voice from behind him. "I'll take my weapon back now, thank you very much." Adam replies as he plucks the weapon from Shepard's hand. Turning rapidly around with his side-arm drawn, Shepard is about to consider pulling the trigger when his target is gone from sight. "Over here." A voice sounds from above the warriors of the Normandy. Looking up, the crew see the impossible, Adam standing on the roof like it was the floor.

"What the Hell!?" Wrex curses as he points his weapon upward, not trusting anything the guy can do with all of his abilities thus far. "Geez, I help you find a group that had something to do with an Thresher Maw outbreak on Akuze and this is how I'm repaid?" Adam replies as Shepard looks at his omni-tool in shock. "What!?" Shepard roars as he pulls out his assault rifle as well. "Thought it would interest you Commander as you were there apparently from the rumors I heard on the ship." Adam then jumps off of the ceiling to land right on his feet infront of the group.

"How did you know that this terminal had any information about that?" Kaiden inquires while preparing a warp biotic attack incase he decides to do anything. "I know because I can read and speak Binary dumb-ass." Adam explains as they look at eachother confused. Sighing, Adam explains. "As long as it has an electronic function, I can talk with it. And unless you can tell me that you can do the same, these computers are rather interested by my presence. So after humoring them, they told me pretty much everything here...infact," Adam points at Liara who quirks an eye. "It told me about your doctorates, your medical history, and even that you have a degree in programming." That took the group by surprise. "You can program drones?" Garrus asks, somewhat surprised at the fact that a young asari could be that good.

Blushing at the attention, Liara replies modestly. "Y-Yes, I know how to handle the things involved with such a thing quite well, it actually surprised some peers." Clapping his hands together loud enough to get the groups attention, Adam then replies. "Now that my ability has been handled, can we get to the computer?" The group look at eachother before nodding.


Synthetic Insights.

Exiting the elevator, Shepard and the group are heading forward until a female ERCS guard orders them. "Freeze! Hanshan security. This office is sealed." To which her nearby turian comrade is pointing his assault rifle at Shepard. "Lorik Qui'in gave us this pass madam." Shepard replies as the ERCS guard looks at him quizzically. "Qui'in? He's under investigation, are you working for him?" Shepard only replies. "Anoleis is paying you to shake this place down. Does Captain Matsuo know you're here?" The guard only defends in her response. "Hey, I'm not the one who wants Qui'in. Anoleis has a Varren up his ass about this guy. How about this? You pretend you didn't see us, We'll pretend we didn't see you." The guard then walks away with her Turian companion as Adam replies. "Well, I'm surprised." Shepard then looks at him. "About?" Adam only answers. "The fact that you ignored the 3 turian's that're on the balcony about to fire." This causes the group to immeaditaly go into cover as a nearby shot niks Adam across his face.

Looking disinterested, Adam asks Liara a question as people were still trying to shoot at him. "Hey!" Liara then is josteled in her place as a nearby richochet occurs near her foot. "Yes Mr. Adam's!?" Adam only replies thus. "Call me Tornado Adam's when we are in combat Liara, I don't call you T'soni now do I?" Adam gets a nod before he continues, the shooter's looking frustrated as they can't seem to hit Adam for some reason.

"Does what you say about you're mother extend to these idiots?" Adam points at another group, 2 human and a Turian, bringing out their shotgun's for a rush tactic. "Huh?" Shepard questions Adam as he looks at him. "Because I charge per fight instead of the whole mission when I'm in this state. Aswell as that, taking these guys down lethally is a drag. They can't even aim properly at me and I'm barely moving to dodge their shots." Adam rebuffs at the shooters who curse loudly at him.

"WHAT?! You didn't say you charged per fight!" Kaiden roars over the gunfire as he tries to return the favor. "Didn't you read the contract papers in my capsule that I gave you?" Adam replies as Tali brings the thing out. "Where in the hell did you put anything like that in there!?" Tali shouts as she flips through the 50 individually paged contract. "Section H-28, paragraph 7, page 93." Adam replies matter of factly as Tali looks at him dumbly. "There's only 50 pages you Boshtet!" Tali roars as Adam retorts. "Well look on the back of the pages then! They're double-sided!"

Adam then gets a groan from Tali as she looks at the right spot. "What the hell!? You can get a 1 week leave during the combat mission if anyone on your side of the contract hits you!?" Tali asks as Adam only replies to the shooters. "Hey! Dumb-asses! Can you wait a moment until we get this matter sorted out before you start charging like bulls!" Adam's voice causes the shooting and the going to soon charge shotgunners to stop in their place, surprised at what he said.

"Uh...sure?" One guard replies as they get into some defensive cover before switching to their sniper rifles...and waiting. Turning his attention back to Tali, Adam replies. "Yeah...and since you shot me before, you're glad I don't sue you for damage to company property." Tali only gawks as she replies. "Huh!?" Adam rolls his eyes before continuing. "Never-mind, just hurry up and read the damn part so I can get back to my question to Liara." Adam replies as he then taps his foot impatiently.

"In the occurence of a Desperado LLC cyborg is operating under 75% capacity and not given refueling by contractee, he is allowed to charge per battle instead of mission at his own discretion to compensate for the lack of energy/repair paid for by the Contractee...Son of a Bitch!" Tali groans as she throws the papers to the ground and is about to incinerate them until Adam replies. "I already copied down your signing of the document Tali Zorah. And if you fail to comply I will demand your flotilla pay me a fee that is equal to half of your entire fleet." Adam replies as Tali looks at him in horror.

"You wouldn't!" Tali screams as she covers her visor with her empty left hand. "I would and will if you don't shut up and let my answer go through!" Adam's eye's glow red, giving him a more demonic appearance and causing Tali to go back into cover and mumble about 'stupid cyborgs'. "I heard that Zorah, I'm in the middle of deciding between a carrier or a cruiser at the moment..." Adam threatens as Tali shuts up. Turning his attention back to Liara, Adam asks. "Now, do you want the people to die or not!?" Adam asks as Liara tries to contemplate the decision. However, one stupid guard. Who is answering the commotion, decides to pull out his sniper rifle and take a shot at Liara. The shot hits her and takes her shield out in one go, the force causing her to spin in the air and let out a scream. "Kiii!" Liara then lands into Adam's extended arms before he puts her down.

"Mission parameters set. Killing all opposing personal." Adam's eyes glow red as he turns around, miss-hearing Liara's scream as to kill, Adam's mind is set. His eyepatches going over his eyes, Adam pulls out the Muramasa and the Sakabato. "Okay you sorry excuses for cops...listen up." These words get the attention of the ERCS personal as he shouts. "Since I'm ordered to kill you guys instead of knocking you out, sorry if I get bored and disinterested in your dying lives. But I think it's time..." Adam then gets into a combat stance as the ERCS personal ready their weapons onto him. "For the Tornado to go on a rampage!" Adam's proclamation ends with his visor folding around him, the blue glow from the 3 eyes disturbing the people there as he charges forward.


Play the Only thing I've ever known Maniac agenda mix.

Getting into the midst of the snipers around the corner, Adam then smashes all of the guns in their hands by the sakabato's power. One ERCS personal is pulling out their shotgun but is interrupted by the fact that his right arm is no longer their, rended in a gory display of heat and blood from his body. The shotgun in it's still twitching throes of a dead arm, nerves sporadically going with the last of the energy from the body it came from.

Before the arm lands onto the ground, Adam spins around to decapitate the head of the turian behind him. The head then flies into the air, raining blood and grey matter as Adam jumps above the last two of this group to spiral slash in the air. Destroying the head of the decapitated Turian. Continuing onward from the path of the sword, Adam slices the remaining members in a diagonal sweep, sending half of the torso's to slide off while the legs crumple to the ground. "You bastard!" A nearby guard curses toward Adam as he fires a Carnage blast from his shotgun.

Spiralling once more, Adam uses the back of the muramasa to 'catch' the carnage blast before redirecting it at the Turians on the balcony. The turian's had no time to react and were slaughtered from the explosion, sending a red rain across the room to which Shepard's group had to close their mouths to avoid blood from getting into it. Sheathing the Sakabato, Adam then pulls the trigger on the weapon, shooting it across the area and into the gut of the person who fired the Carnage attack. He then flies into the air, slamming into the ceiling as the Sakabato imbedes itself into the ground near the dead trio of turians. Jumping up, Adam only replies. "Goodbye." He then shouts. "Hiten-Mitsurugi style! Ryushosen!" Adam then slams his free left hand into the back of the muramasa blade as it slashes through the ERCS soldier, splitting him cleanly in half and drenching Adam in his blood.

Not giving the now dying body a breather, Adam then jumps off of the ceiling to begin hacking the body into multiple chunks before grabbing something from the remains of the dead person before landing onto the ground flawlessly. Looking closer, we can see that it's the ERCS members heart!? "What is he-!?" Liara starts before Adam puts the heart near his blade, destroying it and causing a slight red aura to appear around him. Looking around the area for more opponents, Adam see's that the remaining members here have retreated. "Cowards." Adam says as he flicks the muramasa blade downward, the blood slicking off quickly before he sheathes it. Walking up to his sakabato, Adam then pulls it out of the ground and repeating what he did with the Muramasa. However, unlike the Muramasa, the only thing on the blade is dust...not a single drop of blood landed onto any part of the blade.

Stunned at what just happened, Shepard's group are in silence. Not for the carnage, but for that fact that he didn't get hit once by guns and for the cleans of the cut. "Damn...he'd make a fine krogan...If he wasn't so fucking fast." Wrex admits in a sign of praise as the group come out of their 'cover' to begin the way up the steps. After they reach the top, they see Adam still in combat mode and waiting for the group. "The battle's over Adam, you can retract your visor now." Shepard replies as he needs to see the face of Adam to make sure that he's still a person underneath that mask. For safety or for fear, none can say.

Hearing a hiss as the Visor's open, Adam's face is spotless from the blood as he looks at the group with his red eyes. "Thanks for saying that Shepard. The contratee is the one who can tell me to stand down." Adam explains as he then starts to walk away from the group. "Where are you going?" Kaiden asks as Adam replies. "To get the evidence remember?" This causes the Sentinel to grumble before following alongside Shepard and the others.

Getting to the computer, Adam only flips the OSD into the air before sliding it into the port on the computer somewhat stylishly. Waiting for the file to be downloaded, Shepard believes that now is the time to talk about Adam's...combat. "Adam." Shepard starts as Adam only quirks an eye toward him. "Yeah?" Crossing his arms, Shepard continues. "We need to set some more ground rules." This causes a look of confusion onto Adam's face as he then leans against the computer desk. "More? I thought that what you said was a mouthful earlier, so what's the reason for the addition?" Adam asks, interested for the reason. Shepard then takes a deep breath before he answers. "You need to stop killing so crazily." Adam only takes a step forward as he replies. "What?" Shepard then takes a step forward aswell, not being intimidated by Adam's powerful being. "You heard me, unless I give the say so, you aren't killing like that anymore. Do it again and you're fired." Shepard Threatens as Adam only meets his stare quietly...

"*Sigh* Looks like I have no other choice, fine. You're the boss after all." Adam conceids as he flips the sheath holding the Muramasa behind his back, upside down and not able to be pulled out. He then flicks his left hand out before test drawing his Sakabato. "Tch..looks like this is going to be interesting." Adam states before resheathing his weapon and then addresses Shepard a question as well. "And for the record, If I'm killing someone, tell me before hand so I switch to my Muramasa."

This causes Wrex to ask. "Why? Its a bladed weapon on the back of it right? Just use it." Adam only glares at Wrex before replying. "I don't kill with this Sakabato stupid. I use it to either increase the power of my Muramasa or to disarm opponents...not for killing." Adam then gets a silence from the group as the File has finished uploading into the OSD. Spinning around in a circle, Adam then swipes the OSD out of the computer before putting it into Shepard's hands. "Now lets get going already." Adam replies as he then begins to walk away. The group follows from behind him. As they reach the balcony area where the three dead turians were, they see more people waiting for them.

The female of the group, walks forward to reply. "I don't think you're supposed to be in here, Shepard." Shepard, taken aback for a moment, replies in kind. "You have me at a disadvantage, Miss...?" The women scoffs at this before replying in a high and mighty tone of voice. "Oh, now you're going to show some respect? I'm Sergeant Kaira Stirling, Elanus Risk Control Services. Anoleis would throw you offworld for what you did here." Kaira then demonstrates the carnage wrought from Adam's rampage.

"I won't." Kaira's two comrades from behind her move forward with their assault rifle's primed. "You know what we did to Cop killers on my world?" Ashley then scoffs at this. "What a load of crap. You're here off-duty, breaking law for bribe money." This causes the sergeant to glare at her, her hands spasming somewhat. Trying to calm the situation down, Shepard starts to talk but is interrupted by Adam replying. "I'm the guy who killed all of your people Sergeant, if you have any problems with such a thing. They go through me and only me." Adam then see's the sergeant slightly grin at this as she replies snidely. "Well, then after I kill the rest I'll torture you personally."

Kaira then has a blue aura around her hand before shouting as she throws the attack at Ashley. "Starting with this bitch!" Kaira roars as Shepard dives between Ashley from the attack as he gets hit hard, flying up into the air before slamming into a wall. Coughing up blood from the sheer force of it as he falls downward. "Shepard!" Tali and Kaiden shouts out as Adam sees the blood falling to the ground..and impact it.

"You're dead now." Adam states as he only charges forward, the group behind him more concerned for Shepard's safety until Kiara replies. "I don't need guns to kill you." Adam only returns the comment. "Neither do I Bitch." Jumping into the air to avoid a Biotic Throw from Kiara. Flipping around in Mid-air. Adam then spirals, his leg blades flipping down as he grabs his knifes. Throwing them in a rain of movement, Adam destroys one of the comrade's Assault rifles while killing the other one. Split into three uneven pieces as the blood flies high into the air, acting as camouflage for the Cyborg.

Angry that one of her comrades is dead, the Sergeant then fires a warp blast into the mist and only getting one implosion. Thinking that the Cyborg died, Kaira is misplaced in her thoughts as the only thing to come down is the remains of her dead comrade. "What!?" Kaira roars as Garrus fires a Sniper rifle round at her comrade. Knocking her back and severely injuring her. Before she could react, Adam lands onto the ground with his back blades roaring into the air as he landed on his hands. Stabbing his leg blade on his right leg into the abdomen of the weakened Guard, Adam only roars before throwing her into Kaira's body, who only knocks her away as she splits apart. Preparing another warp blast, Kaira is take off of her guard as Adam is nowhere to be seen!?

"Where are you!?" Kaira roars as Adam only replies. "Over here." Widening her eyes as she realizes the voice came from the discarded body of her comrade, Kaira can only turn her head in time to see Adam jump off of the split body onto the ground infront of Kaira. Spiraling his feet around, Adam cuts off Kaira's felt leg. As she falls toward Adam, Kaira's last words are. "You son of a-!?" Adam stays silent as he bends his knee's, causing the leg blades to fold back as he then Kicks Kaira into the air.

Building up power in his arms, Adam flies off of the ground and toward Kaira, however spinning around counter-clockwise with his foot blades back out. Drilling into her and causing multiple bloody chunks to start flying over the area. Grabbing her heart with his feet, Adam only replies. "Dead on!" before flipping back down onto the ground. The blood left on him from earlier is shaked off from the force of the landing and makes it look like red dust is around his body. The heart, flicked up into the air by Adam's feet. Is then grabbed into his hands before being crushed in them.

"Damn..." Wrex replies as the group see's Adam only looking menacing without his visor on. "Now let's get Shepard shall we?" Adam replies as the group starts to go to their fallen leader. "Ugh.." Shepard groans after being roused from unconsciousness. "Damn Shepard, that bitch Kaira sure knew how to do a biotic throw." Kaiden admits as Shepard shakes his head to get the ringing out of his ears. "What Happened?" Shepard asks as he is grasping his head. "Do you want the long or short version?" Adam asks as Shepard groan once again. "The one in which it doesn't give me a headache."

Shepard then gets this reply from Adam. "The short version then. After you got thrown out of Kansas, I killed the sergeants comrades before drilling the bitch to oblivion with my leg blades." Shepard then looks at him. "Didn't I say no more killing crazily?" Adam only grins. "You meant my Muramasa, not my other weapons Boss." Shepard only groans again. "How in the hell are we going to explain this to Lorik?" Shepard asks as Wrex replies. "You tell him you didn't get blood on the carpet...just everywhere else." Groaning again as he feels a migrane coming, Shepard then replies. "Lets just get the hell out of here." To this, the group agrees.
