Chapter 7 :
Commander Neso Shepard was on his way to CIC as he was planning to set course for Hagalaz system to meet with liara. Apparently liara had some information about planet Maestro in hourglass nebula in meta system. She wanted to give it to him so that he can go and check out if there is any reference to planet micus and horse head nebula.
Normandy was on its way to Meta System, Hourglass nebula when it was attacked by two armed freighters owned by blue suns. The fight was short and both freighters were destroyed with all hands. Commander shepard wandered why did the blue suns attack him now. But then who knew what the mercs wanted. Normandy was on its course again. Couple hours later Normandy was in orbit of Planet Maestro.
Neso: "Miranda, Tali, Ash, Grunt and Garrus meet me on flight deck."
Miranda: "Yes Commander."
Within minutes all 6 members of away team were aboard shuttle and were heading towards prothean ruin that Liara's message mentioned. The shuttle landed in front of a door leading into another underground facility by prothean military.
Ash: "Well skipper looks like another illium."
Neso: "Seems like it. Tali what does your scans tell us?"
Tali: "Facility still has full power after 50000 years. No life signs."
Neso: "Use the tablet to crack the code and open door."
Tali: "Copy Shepard."
And Within minutes tali opened door and team was inside facility. And they were on their way to investigate this mysterious prothean base. Shepard hoped that what ever they found will help them fight the reapers. As the passed through main corridor all the way on the walls they saw paintings of a race fighting reapers and managing to destroy reapers. So shepard knew he was at the correct place. All he needed was to find this planet with the weapons to fight and kill reapers. Even the protheans were able to kill couple reaper ships in their fight against reapers. After a full hour of searching they approached a prothean terminal. Shepard using the prothean cipher he had in his head was able to decode the information on the terminal. It gave him a place a 40 million years old starbase, that reapers never found or destroyed in the Kestel arm of milky way galaxy. Kestel was a small arm of our galaxy at the far opposite end of terminus systems. It was to be reached by relay 437 in the nestor system Belisarius cluster.
Aboard Normandy
Neso: "Joker set course for Belisarius cluster."
Joker : "We will have to use one of smaller relays in terminus systems to reach it instead of arcturus."
Neso: " Good, notify me when we get there."
Joker: "ETA 4 days and 7 hours."
Neso smiled and left the cic to go to his cabin. Only to find ash waiting for him. He smiled as he noticed her.
Neso: "Hi babe."
Ash smiled and kissed him. They sat down to discuss his plans of operations on when they reach this mysterious base and what will they find there. He was hopping that their search will be good and that they will find what they are looking for. He had high hopes and he had ash and his team beside him. And they he took ash by hand took her to bed and made slow lazy love to the woman he loved and would do anything for her. And Ashley would do same for him.
As commander and ashley were making love Normandy was entering nearest relay and jumping to its destination. Crew of this ship was getting ready for its next mission.
Meanwhile cerberus was getting closer to finding the location of Normandy. Spartan was reaching another system in its search for the commander shepard's ship. They did not know it's location again, and they could not get it from shadow broker. Cerberus also had to be careful after turian operation busted some bases and financial backing of cerberus. The illusive man had to be careful on how to proceed. He also had to be careful ass Alliance was closing in on some cerberus operations. Alliance definitely would not let cerberus get hold of commander shepard again. After all the data Neso gathered on cerberus and passed on to Alliance command, they will not let their poster boy get captured by terrorists.
