Chapter 6:
At the edge of galaxy a lone cuttlefish shaped ship called Lariar entered Milky Way galaxy on its mission to scout the entry are and capture Commander shepard. Lone reaper was very well aware that Sovereign and a new reaper ship were destroyed by human and his crew. Its mission was simple ensure that noting gets in the way of reaper invasion and culling of all organic life in galaxy. Commander shepard has managed twice to stop reapers plan he will not do so again.
Liara was sitting in her chair in the nude reading a report from her agents that she has dispatched to look for the information Planet Micus and the horse head nebula. What she has learned that horse head nebula was somewhere in terminus systems and that the relay that lead to it was lost millions of years ago. She needed to find a way to locate missing relay. She left the report and went inside her shower. She needed to relax and figure out the best way to approach this mission. Liara also needed to find a way on how to ensure that Alliance Naval intelligence does not hassle shepard and his crew. Major Caleb Antella has already managed three times to attempt to infiltrate her network and each time she managed to prevent it. Liara was not pleased that naval intelligence was after her friend.
Neso shepard was on his way to CIC when combat alarm sounded on Normandy's speakers.
Neso spoke: "Kelly report." "Unidentified ship in system." Kelly responded.
Shepard entered the combat information centre just as normandy engaged unidentified prowler ship. Prowler started to fire on Normandy's engines. Normandy started firing back.
Joker : "Who is this nitwit. Doesn't they realise that normandy packs more firepower then they realise."
Edi: "Mr Morrow enemy does not consider this ship to much of a threat."
Normandy kept firing its main guns. After couple of hits prowler ships was totally destroyed leaving no traces to identify the owners of such vessel. This worried shepard because this meant that somebody was after him and his ship. He needed to deal with this interloper before reapers showed up.
At the arcturus station in the office of naval intelligence Major caleb Antella swore as his feed from remote controlled prowler was destroyed. He was not pleased to realize that one of his assets that closed in on shepard was disposed. He needed to find another asset to get close to shepard. But he knew that shepard has probably moved on to his next location but where.
Normandy has left its present location on Illium and went to Nagos System in Hourglass nebula. They approached the fuel station to refuel and connect with their alliance contact to Councillor Anderson. Once they received new information Normandy has left Negos system and set course for therum to meet one of Liara's agents there. Neso was very glad that Liara as shadow broker was his friend. He knew that with her ability to collect information and resources of shadow broker he will be able to find planet Micus and find the weapons to defeat reapers once for all. Neso needed to ensure that machine life will not threaten organic life forms with extinction ever again. He also need to ensure that any children he and ashley have in the future will be safe to live their lives to full.
Oriana Lawson Miranda's little sister was managing to start her own information brokerage. She started to dig up information on cerberus and it's operations to help her sister and her friends defeat cerberus. She also wanted to ensure that her family and here were safe also. Oriana smiled as she realized that not only she was capable of helping her sister, but also that Miranda did not mind Oriana's help.
Ashley woke up in the bed she shared with Shepard. Ash smiled at the turn of events. She enjoyed the new found intimacy she found again with shepard. And if anybody was able to stop reapers it will be her neso shepard. She realized how much they loved each other and what they meant to each other. What ashley knew was that Alliance Naval Intelligence wanted to arrest shepard and keep him till he gave them all information he knew. But what intel was not aware that she did not intend to let Major Antella capture shepard. Ashley was going to do all in her power to ensure that shepard was free to stop reapers, with her help and help of their team mates.
