The Citadel was, by far, the worst place Shepard had ever seen. It was full of power and pleasure, but both were kept on the down low. The way he saw it, if you hated someone, you said it. Don't hide behind walls of lies and manipulation. But he had been made captain of The Ryncol, and if he wanted to get to Saren, his revenge, and a hundred thousand credits, hatreds would have to be put aside. Not that it would be easy.
The smell of beer and sex was overwhelming. This was the place for the lowest of the low, greediest of the greedy, scummiest of scum. Yes, Chora's Den might just be the best 'worst place' on the Citadel. If it wasn't on the space station, Shepard might just like it. Unfortunately, the abundance of Turians, Salarians, and clothed Asari made it hard for him to fully appreciate the completely legitimate establishment.
Shepard made his way to the back of the bar, only to be greeted by a scarred krogan being led out.
"Back off Wrex," said the Krogan pushing the other out. "Fist told us to take you out is you showed up again."
"What are you waiting for?" said Wrex, folding his arms. "I'm standing right here."
The other Krogan did nothing.
"This is Fist's only chance. If he's smart, he'll take it."
"He's not coming out Wrex, end of story."
"This story is just beginning."
The Krogans stared each other down, before Wrex turned, walking away.
"Wait, Wrex?" asked Shepard, as the Krogan passed by. The alien turned.
"Shepard? What are you doing here?"
"I was coming to talk to Fist. Going to see if he had anything on Saren Arterius."
"Why the hell are you going after a Spectre? Not planning on making him a slave, are you?"
"Ha! Yeah right. No, no this is revenge. He killed Grarak, and cheated me out of a long-time deal with the Shadow Broker."
"Grarak's dead? Shit, I thought he had a decade or two left, at least. Why'd he kill him, slaver business?"
"No, no. You heard about that attack on Eden Prime right?"
"Geth pouring into other systems? Course I heard it."
"Saren was behind the attack."
"Saren? Shining example of the Spectres and Council? You're shitting me."
"First rule of the galaxy Wrex, never fuck with a Krogan."
"Shit… If you're serious about this Shepard-"
"I am."
"You're going to need more than just 20-something Batarians."
"I know that. I didn't just come for information, I was gonna ask Fist for some men. We go back, he and I."
"What I meant was that you'll need me. One Krogan can make all the difference"
"I'd be glad to have you along on another adventure Wrex. The Ryncol's at Bay D24."
"I'll be there. And Shepard…"
"Yeah Wrex?"
"Kill Fist for me."
Shepard grinned, and walked into the hall leading to Fist's office.
