Chapter 3

Planet Tysiphon Hydra System

Orbiting this depressing post garden world was another secret cerberus base. Unlike other cerberus bases this was a base where cerberus built their ships. But right now they were busy retrofitting CVS Spartan, Normandy's sister ship. The ship was commanded by Captain Kurt Grey. His mission was simple, capture Commander shepard and bring him his ship and his crew back to cerberus fold. It was not going to be easy mission. Cerberus was hurt by Turian raids. They were hurt financially but still had to protect humanity. With in minutes Spartan was on its way to hunt for shepard and Normandy.

Aboard SSV Normandy SR-2

Normandy has just received it alliance designation and was on special assignment to spectre Neso Shepard and was assigned to citadel council special operations. Neso shepard woke up to notice naked body of ash next to him. As he watched the ash sleep he smiled to him self wandering if they would ever fully know how much they mean to each other. Ash woke up.

Ashley: "Credit for you thoughts, skipper."

Neso: "Do not waste your money my love."

They smiled and kissed.

EDI: "Commander, one of chiefs marines was a plant from intel. Has escaped from the ship."

Neso: "Oh shit, that is just what I need DINA on my ass."

EDI: "We will have to be careful."

Neso dressed and kissed ashley again and entered elevator and went to CIC.

As he enters CIC…

Kelly: "New messages from Liara, and Councillor Anderson."

Neso: "Thank you kelly, I will check them later. Joker set course for Ilos."

Joker: "10-4 Commander."

Normandy leaves omega dock as able hands of her pilot are setting her on course for primary mass relay on the course to Ilos. Just then Ashley entered CIC and they smiled at each other. Neso then looked at the map of galaxy and wandering what to do next. He was going to visit prothean security station on ilos to see if there is more info on how to fight reapers. He knew that he will need all the help he can get to stop reapers from wiping out all life in galaxy.

Ashley look at the man she loved remembering last night and also watching him as he was being bothered by something. Just like she remembered him still carrying the weight of Galaxy on his shoulder. In next few days when he receives message fro Anderson she will be giving him the Lion of Terra, Top medal that can be issued to any System Alliance soldier, for his actions at citadel station. He was still the poster boy for alliance navy. And after news of him stopping the collectors from abducting any more human colonies, enlistment in System Alliance Armed Forces received another boos of fresh new recruits who wanted to be like Shepard. She was proud of him for his achievements and for what he meant to alliance and humanity as whole. He was what every marine strived to be a perfect soldier.

Liara T'soni aboard shadow brokers ship smiled as she realized where shepard was going. She also in her hunt for information has found some reference to a planet that had some major weapons systems capable of stopping a reaper ship in one shot. She was going to do anything in her power to help shepard find that planet.

Illusive man smiled as he realized that his second secret ship was in process of hunting down normandy. He was going to bring shepard back into the fold one way or the other. Meanwhile he was frustrated as he found out that Miranda was able to move her sister and her family again with out him knowing where they went. He was pissed of at his former second in command. But he still wanted her back to her old position. He needed people like her and shepard In cerberus. He will also have to find a new way of controlling them both so that they will not escape his clutches or his control again. For that he would need both Oriana and Ashley to control Miranda and Shepard.
