Chapter 14:

The illusive man did not like the current situation. After all the money and time he has invested in resurrecting commander Neso Shepard, the little ungrateful whelp managed to ruin all the plans cerberus had in place after the collectors were dealt with. Commander shepard blew up the base, handed over the Normandy to alliance and handed over many valuable cerberus files to alliance to decrypt and cause immeasurable ruin to TIM's plans for human dominance. Shepard was enormous pain in the cerberus ass and due to all the facts that made cerberus resurrect Shepard they still needed him. And then there is the rest of Lazarus cell, they all have defected to alliance. That did not sit well with The illusive man. This status quo was not good for cerberus. Looks like he would need Kai Leng and his talents. TIM did not like using the assassin for this case, he did not think that kai leng would be able to deal with shepard and survive.

Aboard normandy Commander shepard was waking up to a sight of naked LT Williams staring at him.

" Morning Ash." shepard spoke as he kissed ashley.

"That was wonderful skipper." Ashley spoke of their last nights love making session.

" Seems to me LT you bring out an animal in me every time we are together." Shepard mentioned.

"Skipper I told you I am a hellcat in and out of battlefield." Ashley smiled at the man she loved.

Neso smiled and kissed the woman he loved with all his hearth.

" No matter how I much I want for us to stay here I have ship to run and reapers to stop."

"I will join you on the bridge skipper." And ashley got out of bed to dress same time as shepard did. And as she bent over to pick up her panties and bra Neso playfully slapped her ass.

"Any more of those skipper and you will be late to your duties." Ashley reminded Neso.

They kissed and dressed with out of any more foreplay.

Neso and Ashley arrived on bridge at same time and holding hands. He was saluted by yeoman chambers as he stepped on CIC deck.

"Kelly report." Shepard smiled as kelly arched her brows.

" No messages for you commander, and there were several reports of mysterious ship sightings in the outer edges of the galaxy." Kelly reported.

" Joker set the course for citadel, I need to speak with the council." Shepard issued order.

"Aye, aye commander on our way." Joker replied. And normandy lurched as she started to move towards nearest mass relay on it's course towards citadel.

On the earth meanwhile after certain amounts of politicking certain politician managed to get a little victory and convince Alliance command to bring in shepard to answer for his actions in Bahnak system. Alliance politicians needed to find a way to placate Batarian Hegemony to prevent A batarian war. So the Alliance command agreed that they will bring in Commander shepard for a trial. The order to recall shepard in will come from Admiral Anderson who returned to active service after he resigned his post on citadel. Udina was the new councillor for Systems alliance.
