Mass Effect Project Renegade
Chapter 3: Events Unfold.
Exiting the Mass Relay was Alliance Black Op Carrier. Minutes later One Hundred Black Ops Fighters poured right out of the Carrier, all barring the Project Renegade Emblem. The Fighter the "Sky Piercer" was leading the fighters away from the Carrier and then proceeded to the planet of Shanxi. Inside the Sky Piercer, the coms went active, with Jack giving the orders out.
"All fighters on me." In instant, all 99 other fighters formed up right behind the Sky Piercer.
"Okay 63 talk to me what's the situation on the ground of Shanxi." Jack released the receiver for the incoming transmission.
Subject 63 "Mason" on the horn replied with a voice void of all emotion. "General Williams surrendered to the hostile Alien forces."
Jack with an irritated expression under his nightmare armor helmet pressed the comm. "He didn't."
A smirk can be heard from Kai Lengs transmission. Quickly after, Mason reports in. "That's not all apparently they continued their slaughter and executed 10,000 Soldiers and Civilians."
Jake's outburst over the com could be heard. "Bastards!"
Jack pressed the Com button to outgo all fighters. "All right first order of business, take out the dreadnaughts surrounding Shanxi, then hit dry ground and begin to evict the Hostile Aliens. We can't take too long reports in that they're already engaging in our other colonies."
An incoming message from the "Spirit of Fire" May. "Commander? Will we expecting reinforcements from the Alliance?"
"Yeah With Admiral John Grissom leading the Charge, 200 Dreadnaughts, 500 Carriers, 1200 Cruisers, and 1800 Frigates. Oh The Alliance Black Op will be organizing Hit and Runs too."
The Intercom burst with Kai leng on the line. "Finally a man of action."
Mason hit the com to report to Jack. "Commander 3 Dreadnaughts are ahead of us… Looks like they don't have any fighter escorts."
Jack was tapping in commands in cockpit of his fighter. "All right Hell Dog's Break Formation; bring the bastards to the ground!"
The Bridge was active with the Turian Rear Admiral barking orders at his subordinates. "Ensign, what are the reports on the ground?"
The Turian Ensign gave a quick salute to his superior letting the Admiral Nod of Approval. "Sir Ground our ground forces are meeting heavy resistance but are still mobilizing on the remnants of the enemy presence."
The Admirals mandibles flexed on his face giving out a grin. "Excellent tell our cruisers to-"
A Tech Specialist interrupted the admiral before orders were given out. "Sir Multiple hostiles on approach!"
The Admiral stood from his chair to look at through the windows from the bridge. "Where?! I don't see any cruisers. "
The Tech Specialist corrected himself. "No Sir- Not Crusiers or Frigates, Fighters."
The Admiral gave a hardy laugh. "Fighters, these primitives think to take us on with fighters Anti-Gardian Lasers fire!"
Seconds later the Dreadnaughts along with their frigate escorts were being swarmed by the Black op Fighters. Ordinance from Vulcan Cannons to Prototype Bunker buster Missiles were putting holes in the ships. The fighters were so effective in their attack, that the Turian Dreadnaught started to make a retreat to the nearest Relay. Unfortunately for the Turian Rear Admiral, Kai Leng's fighter the "Blade Runner" didn't give him the opportunity. Before the Dreadnaught hit the Relay, the "Blade Runner" Fired an experimental rail gun into the back of the Dreadnaught causing it to explode.
Jack smiled under his helmet and pressed the intercom. "Nice hit Leng."
Kai Leng was laughing over the intercom, leaving a chuckling Jack pressing the intercom. "Alright now let's evict these guys off of Shanxi!"
With Hell Dog Platoon Storming down to the planet's surface, the Relay leading to the system went active as twelve Alliance Dreadnaughts and twenty troop and air carriers just zoomed right in over Shanxi.
Three Weeks Later…
Reporter Janette Moreno, appeared inside the Alliance Aucturus station, reporting the developing event. "Members of The Alliance Parliament seconds ago have declared a full counterstrike to retaliate against the aliens who invaded Terra Nova, and Shanxi, not to mention the countless deaths of Civilians who died at the hands of the "Turians". More reports are coming in that; we are receiving assistance on the location of Turian Colonies from an alien Splinter Cell group who were deceived by the Hierarchy."
The Vid Screen was put on Mute, with the Director smiling while drinking scotch from a small clear glass. "Excellent… "Messenger" is the Manifesto ready?"
Under his gasmask the "Messenger" gave a wide grin. "Ready, Reviewed, and waiting to be published."
Esolus-Turian Colony.
The Sky was thick with smoke, bodies of Turian's Scattered and Piled throughout the plains. A Turian foot soldier was lifted by his head by Jack, which ended with the Turians skull being crushed by his hand. Leng approached Jack.
"These Turians are pathetic. Two hours, and we turn this planet to Hell on Earth."
Jack Just looked at the Turian Corpse as the blue blood dripped from his hand.
"This 'thing' was begging for mercy from his 'spirits'."
Leng smiled and nodded his head for approval.
"Killed a bunch of those too."
Jack jumped on top of a grey boulder, and observed the destruction they caused on the Hierarchy.
"Let's get off this rock."
As two months passed, the Turian Hierarchy had lost fourteen colony worlds and six fleets. The Counter Offensive Finally caught the attention of the Citadel Council.
Presidium-Council Chambers
The three Councilors stood behind their podiums preparing for the imminent arrival of the Alliance Ambassadors.
Tevos the Asari Councilor stood patiently and acted calmly, around her colleagues, With the Salarian Councilor Mesvil, surprisingly interested in the new species arrival. All except for Councilor Sparatus, who was fuming and damning the Humans to be burned, 3 weeks ago he asked the Council to unite and fight back against the Human fleet, but because of STG reports, fighting the Humans would prove fatal.
Sparatus just glared at his colleagues. "This is a mistake, we shouldn't be talking to these primitives we should be sending the Citadel-"
Mesvil cut her colleague off. "That's enough out of you, because of your secrecy and mistake, you could have plunged the whole galaxy into a galactic war."
Sparatus scratched his mandibles and shook his head for disapproval. Before Tevos could intervene. The Representative of the Alliance arrived below them.
Tevos looked at her colleagues gave a nod and looked at the Ambassador. "Ambassador we welcome you to the Citadel, and on behalf of the Citadel Council I'd like to apologize for the Turian Hierarchy aggression, on your Colonies. Now in Good Will the Hierarchy will pay reparations for the destruction they caused, in return for their Colonies."
The Councilor earned a glare from operative "Silver Tongue" AKA "Ambassador Krant"
"No."
Sparatus immediately interrupted Tevos.
"Those are Turian Colonies, which you will return to us."
Sparatus outburst earned a chuckle from "Silver Tongue"
" 'Were' Your colonies, they are now Property of the Systems Alliance."
"You have no right to hold those worlds."
"You're lucky that we didn't burn Palaven to the ground Councilor."
Mesvil decided to understand why the Humans would not give back the colonies, those worlds were Dextro, and these species according to the STG file reports were Levo.
"Ambassador if I may interrupt what do you intend to do with these colonies?"
Krant nodded at the Salarian Councilor with a grin on his face.
"It's not my place to judge what the Alliance Intent is."
Tevos decieded to change the subject, before Sparataus explodes.
"Ambassador we offer the System Alliance a spot in Citadel Space."
Krant arched his right brow, with the state of confusion.
"You intend to put us on the Council?"
Tevos gave a small chuckle at the ambassadors' remark.
"No, you misunderstand us; we offer a spot on the citadel not the Council. While having an Embassy here, you will also have to sign the Treaty of Farixen, along with other trading agreements."
"Farixen?"
"Ship Development…. How many ships does the Alliance possess?"
"Enough To Neuter the Hierarchy three times over."
The Remark earned a glare from Sparatus.
"Well you will need to limit it down to-"
"No."
"Dreadnaughts are very dangerous warships Ambassador-"
"No"
Tevos was now nervous the whole galaxy was watching the events unfold, as this was a live broadcast.
"Perhaps we could compromise, for every Dreadnaught you decommission; the Council is willing to pay the System Alliance bountiful supplies, including Colony rights."
"No,"
Sparatus had enough of the debate and interrupted.
"Alright Human I had enough of this pathetic resistance-"
"Pathetic? We annihilated your fleets and conquered your worlds, and you call us pathetic? You're lucky the Alliance hasn't seized the Station to dictate terms. Besides Prime Minster Zachev Moric will never accept your terms not while he's still in power. Consider the Negotiations over, as is the war. If you have more reasonable terms you may contact us."
Four Days later ANN.
"The System Alliance Parliament today is at a standstill, Zachev Moric has died from a station Malfunction. George Materson, will be stepping into office and to start his negotiations with the Citadel Council."
The Vid Screen Turned off, the Director stared through the void of space with a worried expression. Besides the Director stood the "messenger"
"This doesn't bode well Director, the Alliance black ops had strong ties to Zachev. Now the Xeno pacifist is in control."
The Director stood from his chair and walked to the wall sized window.
"hmm… I already contacted Materson and warned him, that we were separating from the System Alliance."
The "Messenger's" eyes behind his gas mask widened, at the Director's Comment.
"You mean we…. What are we called now that we aren't black ops?"
The Director turned his gaze towards the "messenger"
"Cerberus."
This is just wrapping up of the First Contact War…. Don't worry Jack will Recap on the events that took place during the War, also be on the lookout for past events, piece together the mystery.
