Kaiden Alenko was not a happy man. First, he had lost a good man on Eden Prime, then had picked up an unconscious and paralyzed marine, and had to drop her off at a hospital on the other side of the planet, and now he was being plagued by… not even nightmares. Horrors. Visions. All of the three caused by that Beacon. He knew that it was important, and that now, he was important, especially because of his new Spectre status, but… he didn't feel important. In fact, he felt very, very small.
The door leading out of Udina's office rocketed open, and in walked that man himself, accompanied by a human, a Turian, and a Quarian. The politician approached a man not much older than he.
"Anderson!"
"Yes, Udina?"
"These three say that they have evidence on Saren."
Tali looked down at her Omni-Tool, and brought up a hologram of Saren.
'Eden Prime was a major victory! The Beacon has brought us one step closer to finding the Conduit.'
"That's Saren's voice," exclaimed Anderson. "This proves he was involved in the attack!"
"But what's this Conduit?" asked Kaiden.
"It must have something to do with the Beacon. Some kind of Prothean tool. Or weapon."
"Wait," said Tali. "There's more."
'Eden Prime was a major victory! The Beacon has brought us one step closer to finding the Conduit.'
'And one step closer to the return of the Reapers'
"I don't recognise that other voice," said Udina.
"I do," said Anderson. "Matriarch Benezia. Last I heard she was at Peak 15, on Noveria."
"The Council is going to love this."
"Still," said Kaiden. "They'll have to believe that Saren has betrayed them now."
"You're right Major. Thank you for your time. Now, if you will give us the evidence and leave, that would be much appreciated. Let us have your name, and you will be rewarded in time."
"Thank you, Ambassador. My name is John Shepard," said aforementioned man, leaving the office. Back in the entrance to the Embassies, Garrus finally spoke.
"What the hell was that Shepard? We're just leaving? Letting the Alliance take the fight fight from under us? It's bullshit!"
"That Alliance man, Anderson, he said that Matriarch Benezia was at Peak 15, on Noveria. So instead of getting dragged down in all the political crap, we just go there ourselves, get information from the Asari, and get that much closer to Saren."
"All while they're still talking to the Council."
"Exactly."
"I'll admit Shepard, I'm impressed."
"Thanks Vakarian. Glad for your approval."
"Well that's what I'm here for. Incredible sniping and pick-me-ups."
"Alright, we have a ship to get to."
