As the Volus was like trying to keep from fainting or having the Volus equivalent of a heart attack at what he was seeing… I knew his eyes were making like dollar signs and as he handed each item delicately and with care as if it was fine China. Yeah I knew he was also appraising each item and I was ignoring the looks of the people around me as I was looking out of place and I was…I'm still trying to get used to the fact that I'm 178 years into the future. I was brought out of my rambling thoughts as the Volus got my attention.
"Earth-Clan…I will gladly help you deposit two billion credits into your account." He replied and on a hunch, I suspected he was holding out on me so I baited him.
"Well…I could go to Delan and see what he would give me for this." I hinted
"Two point five billion is the highest I can go."
"Done and Done, Take four hundred grand for you as I know you know collectors that like that stuff and it's Bank of America." I replied as he called it up on his terminal and when I saw it; I entered my username and selected the state of where I was from and then hit login
I then answered the security question then put in the password to get to my account home page and see how much was in there and I knew I was 178 years into the future and it's 50 million and then I gave the Volus what he needed to transfer the money into the account… I couldn't believe how much interest my account racked up and then I remembered what I needed from him. I also hoped he had some or all of what I needed
"Okay this is what I'm going to need: M-8 Avenger, M-5 Phalanx, M-12 Locust x2, ML-77 Missile Launcher modified for rapid fire, M-22 Eviscerator, M-29 Incisor, Serrice 4 Omni tool, high level Kinetic barrier and armor called Terminus Armor." I replied as I had it charged to my account. Then when it was done, I slung my duffle bags over my shoulder and after I walked away, he was just dancing for joy
"I'm Rich! I'm Wealthy! I have more money to have my family living like kings!"
Wouldn't you dance for Joy if you just won the lottery or inherited a Royal Family's ransom like amount!
I went to a room at Chora's den and started to gear up in the armor following the directions and then when it was on; I then geared up and powered up the weapons holstering them and when that was done I attached and activated the kinetic barrier as I then walked out and took the helmet off to see a young Quarian in the hallway and I walked up to her.
"Tali." I called out as she looked at me
"Relax I'm non combatant towards you." I replied as she relaxed slightly
"If you went to Fist, you need to listen: He betrayed you. The Shadow Broker is NOT coming to this meeting. He does EVERYTHING from dry cleaning to lunch orders to even a coffee run through buffers or through agents. No one has ever met the Shadow Broker. Fist betrayed the Shadow Broker and he's very pissed off about it. He gave up your location to Saren and any minute now there should be hostiles running in." I replied as she exhaled at that
"I know, that no good Bosh'tet." I stated as she jerked her head back surprised I knew some of the Quarian Language and then I looked to my left to see them
"What the hell!"
"Ever heard the term Bodyguard?" I asked as they saw Tesla coil discharges from me and then I then fired a Pincer attack as the three of them got hit at the same time and I kept it up just as their screams were being heard and then I stopped as they just dropped to the floor DEAD
I…I had never taken a life before but I knew it had to be done to keep Tali alive and safe so when I saw Shepard getting there
"What the fuck took you so long to get here?" I shot out as they realized I knew Shepard
"I'm talking to ALL of you: Lieutenant Commander Shepard, Staff Lieutenant Kaiden Alenko, Gunnery Sergeant Ashley Williams of the 212 stationed on Eden Prime, Urdnot Wrex from Tuchanka also a bounty hunter on the Broker's payroll. And C-Sec agent Garrus Vakarian one hell of a lethal sniper." I replied as they couldn't believe it
"Now how bout we all go to the Human Embassy have to deal with Ambassador Asshole maybe have to bitch slap him a few times to get him to listen to Tali's Evidence about Saren and Matriarch Benezia and then go to the Council and present it to watch you become the First Human Spectre." I stated as Shepard just gestured to follow as Tali and I walked up to her, I was walking behind Kaiden and he looked hot so I used my abilities to see the merch as he definitely had a hot ass; lightly hairy, real hairy hole and when we turned the corner I saw his pubes were more like an overgrown shrub. And saw he was packing some serious heat…I think.
So when we got there he started to whine
Then I blew a whistle and yelled out
"SHUT THE FLYING FUCK UP, SIT YOUR MOTHER FUCKING SORRY BUREAUCRATIC STANK ASS DOWN AND LISTEN FUCKING HARDER THAN YOU'VE LISTENED TO ANYTHING IN YOUR MISERABLE SORRY ASS MOTHER FUCKING LIFE FUCKFACE!"
He just sat down at that as Anderson was smiling at that
"Hit it Tal." I stated as she played the recording and the others were wondering about me as it's like they knew he's an asshole but yet me being the new guy on the block and yet it's like I know him well when I shouldn't
"Okay now that that's done…" I saw my Omni Tool receiving a download as I wondered what it was doing
"Why don't you guys go to the Council chambers see the three stooges and I'll meet you in the docking bay as I have a feeling by now that Shepard wants to know exactly who I am." I replied as I walked out.
I made my way back to the markets and found a company I liked; I bought it, renamed it Knight Industries and had it's logo replaced with that of a Chess Piece. I then linked my Omni Tool to the screens there and I found a letter from Tom Paris
Hey man
You're definitely wondering how I know of your name or where you are but if you remember the Federation you know exactly HOW the crew of Voyager knows where you are
And at that point I just chuckled dryly remembering who
"Braxton or his Lieutenant." I muttered
Yeah so we're giving you everything: All our technology, blueprints, even ship designs from 2364 to 2410 as we even got Coaxial Warp and got it working fine without the bugs and the same for the Slipstream drive, I was also asked to tell you that you'll be getting some demonic help…that part I couldn't figure out but I think that you do and some help from brothers. I also restricted some images to your Omni Tool as well as they're for you.
Also there's a document for you that's Clearance level ten only…
I'll be in touch
Tom
I then grinned as I gave the order to start going over the gear I was uploading and to start building it and then I saw I had a Shipyard in the Nirvana system that wasn't like any other shipyard: it was organic and it could grow the ships to full size…I also knew I needed to talk to Anderson about securing an Alliance Military contract for Knight Industries being exclusive to the Alliance as it's main supplier for weapons, land or air vehicles, shuttles and ships. They knew I did NOT want the Shadow broker to get ANYTHING about this nor the Batarians. So the first thing was to change ALL of the consoles around as well as the databases and the OS itself. It was hours later as I was grabbing a sandwich from the replicators that were just brought online. And when I saw the clock it was after the databases were created and everything was there. I then bolted towards C-Sec and was able to get past them and get in the right elevator
"Alliance Docking bay 422." I replied and the lift ascended as I sighed at that. And when I got there, I saw Shepard talking with Anderson and Udina
"Captain, when I come back to the Citadel, I'd like to have a few moments of your time." I replied as he nodded at that and then as I looked at the Normandy…
I was floored and I had a feeling Shepard knew I wanted to run my hand on her hull as it was so much larger than it was on screen. And then we went inside and through Decon. And when I stepped onboard; it was amazing and I never saw Jeff looking at me but he could I had that look on my face that said "I'm home"
I then saw Jeff as I smirked as I walked up to Jeff
"I'm not asking this out of spite or malice but I have a feeling you've wanted to know what it would be like to walk normally without crutches or braces or having to worry about breaking your leg if you move in the wrong way…as doing it while sitting can get very boring very fast." I stated as he got what I was saying as he just grinned and laughed his ass off at that
"Can you take us to Nirvana?" I asked as he nodded then I met with Shepard as we were in medical
"Doc I need you to set up the gear to do an ARA and set it up so that Shepard can tell by different colors.." I replied as she nodded and when it was done I indicated to wait outside and then I looked at him
"My name's Joe and I'm 27…the LAST thing I remember before being transported 178 years I think into the future is I was unplugging my Norelco only to get electrocuted and that it was 2012. I don't know how I got here but I do know that someone whether it be the Protheans or some other spiritual deity decided that you need any and all help that you can get to save this galaxy from Saren and the real threat." Off of Shepard's look
"You were told to go to three places: Therum for Liara T'Soni, Benezia's daughter. Feros for the Geth invasion and then Noveria where Benezia is at." As he said nothing or gave anything away
"Noveria's a business world; but there is something there that you need to do. I don't know how bad the war is going to be but I do know that you're going to need every single race… As for my abilities I know I can shoot Lightning from my hands but I suspect it's evolved to include Ice and Fire. I also have a sneaking suspicion that if you were to draw blood the results will say that we're related and yet again I don't know how…but there it is. I was delayed while buying a company and changing the consoles there around to keep out the Shadow Broker. And we're going to need all the ships we can get as I want to tell you more but the Temporal Prime directive: it's basically a directive that says you gotta keep the fuck quiet about what you know about the environment you're in if you're from the future or from the past as it could have drastic consequences and change it as well. I'm sorry but…" I started as he looked to see the screen say I'm telling the truth from the entire time I started to now
"Please tell me they didn't make burgers illegal now or anything that I like?" as that made Shepard grin at that
And then we heard
"Commander we're approaching the Nirvana system." Shepard looked at me
"It's an advanced shipyard that can organically grow the ships full size. I don't know how long it's going to take but…" I drifted as he nodded at that
"You know how everything's going to be?" he asked
"From 2183 then 2185 and then I think 2186…it's going to be a race against the clock now…and again in 2185 and then in 2186 but in 2186…I can't." I replied as he nodded then we headed up to Joker's place as we saw it then we docked as we went over and when I saw the AIE there I uploaded the ship designs and then I saw them on screen
