Chapter 9
Nestor System
Aboard SSV Normandy SR2
"Miranda I need you to get in touch with Oriana an get her to come to this system with her security and her techs to assist us." Shepard told his XO.
"That will give me more time to talk to my sister." Miranda answered.
" Here is the plan boys and girls, we will set up a base camp in the docking area. We will set up lights and portable computer stations to scan immediate are. Then we will proceed with squads of 4 to investigate areas. We need to locate CIC and Power center of the starbase." Shepard informed his crew.
"I wish I was on my pilgrimage again." Tali spoke wistfully.
Shepard and crew smiled at Tali and all left to their assigned work stations. They started to set up base camp at the docking area as they waited for Oriana to arrive. Two days later Oriana Lawson arrived with her security personnel and 6 technicians to assist shepard. They managed with in those two days explore whole deck in the vicinity of docking area and find a small area with several computer stations, that with help of power generators and help Of EDI they activated. With the reaper algorithms EDI had they were able to translate language to Alliance English standard. Shepard and tali managed to get schematics of the starbase.
"This thing is huge, it has 6 deck dedicated to mass accelerators, it has over 200 hundred of them." Neso spoke.
"This thing is a war base." Ashley commented.
"Well we have one potential weapon against reapers." Shepard said.
"One of many I hope." Tali joined in.
All for of them smiled and kept reading the computer files. They were copying all the data on OSD for later use. Gabby and her team of technicians found the power center of the station and activated the massive Element Zero core of the starbase. And as the starbase was powering up shepard, ashley, tali and Mordin entered the CIC of the starbase. When they entered the CIC the looked at the center of the room it contained the map of galaxy and location of every mass relay in the galaxy. It also contained the location of horse head nebula and the location of the planet micus. What they found out was that the race called Amorfia built this starbase to fight the reapers and protect organic races from reaper culling. Shepard has found finally what he was looking for. A way to stop reapers forever. Computers on this station contained the information on how to drop reaper shields with a specially designed computer virus, that can be downloaded to reapers remotely. This was going to make fighting reapers a bit easier with out suffering as heavy losses as at battle of citadel. It also showed how to target reaper zero core from outside of reaper ship. They copied all the data on the OSD and were in the process of pulling out of the station. Gabby and her team powered down starbase's power core for now. Shepard will later find the crew to repopulate the starbase. With all the new information copied on the OSD Normandy and other two frigates followed the information Liara sent to them of the secret facility Liara equipped just for shepard and his team as their Headquarters base of operations. All three ships arrived at the destination and docked with the asteroid base. Liana T'soni and her asari commando unit transferred to normandy while Oriana Lawson and her security and technician teams transferred to asteroid base to be Shepard supply and support team at the base. All the OSD's were transferred to base and 20 computers on the base started processing information and replicating galaxy map from the Amorfia starbase. This was also great place to stock up Normandy for extended mission. Asteroid Base wa equipped with eezo core, OCT kinetic shields and four tanix cannons that were slightly bigger than Normandy's version. Shepard then proceeded to make plans to visit planet micus and find it's secrets. Also with the help of Oriana and her Raiders Neso shepard corrected his mistake and retrieved Legion from Cerberus, before they damaged the geth too much. As soon as legion arrived on the base shepard reactivated him.
