Lifetime of War
Chapter 9: Turning Point
The week following the disastrous failure of the final battle of Albion's capital city, Bowerstone, was one of complete failure. But I had an answer to my pervious question of how the Humans had gotten some of the Asari troops to change sides.
At first I thought it was those damned propaganda towers. I had a theory they could have an effect on our troops but until now it was laughable. Not even during the Rachni wars or the Korgan Rebellions had our own troops turned traitor.
Word had yet to spread to the general public that several Asari turned against their own. I quickly flipped through the remaining cameras in one of the bases and found a few of the Humans talking to their new prisoners. A group of Salarians stood in line in front of three Humans while more sat nursing their wounds. One of them was offering terms of surrender while the other two were passing out food, water, and giving medical aid to the wounded Salarians. Immediately after the Human stopped talking, the Salarians accept their terms of surrender.
In a matter of days was the planet of Albion back in Human hands. Entire armadas, rivaling our own in numbers, poured through the system. Truly the Human capacity for mass industrialization knew no bounds. Less than a month later the entirety of The Round Table and the immediate surrounding systems was back in Human Hands.
