Shepard walked into the cockpit, a confused expression on his face

"Dharos, are we at Peak 15?"

"Well, no," said the pilot.

"Then why are we docking?"

"Cause if we dock at Peak 15, we'll be shot down."

"Brilliant. Alright stay here, I'll get the new guys."

Shepard, Wrex, Tali, and Garrus walked out of the Ryncol, right into a trio of guards.

"That's far enough."

"We aren't here to cause any trouble," began Shepard. "Just want to get to Peak 15."

"This is an unscheduled arrival, I'll need your credentials."

"You first."

"We're the law, show some respect."

"I don't respect bitches."

"And I don't respect criminals. Your face just showed up on our database. John Shepard, you're coming with us."

The Noverian squad drew their pistols. Wrex pulled out a shotgun.

"Like hell!"

The Krogan blasted the squad's captain, killing her. Tali and Shepard drew their pistols, shooting the other two.

"Get to the elevator, now!"

The team ran into the elevator, before metal doors slammed down, covering the entrance.

"Come on, move!"

"Why did you shoot them Wrex!?" yelled Garrus.

"They threatened us."

"They wanted us to come quietly. Give it two or three days and we'd be out!"

"One: They knew who Shepard was. They weren't going to let us out. Two: Even if they did, the Alliance would get here in the time it would've taken, and beat us to Benezia."

"...Shit, you're right."

"Don't play with fire unless you want to get burned son."

"Why did I agree to come," said Tali, in more of a statement than question.

"Hey," said Shepard. "You asked to come, not the other way- Got it!"

The elevator lurched upwards, at a pace of an inch every three seconds.

"Oh come on!"

Shepard sighed, before pulling out his assault rifle. Garrus did the same, as Tali drew a pistol, and Wrex, a shotgun.

"Okay, Wrex, take point. Blast first, ask questions later. Tali, stay behind Wrex, take ankle or headshots only. Vakarian and I will be at the sides. Ready?"

The doors slid open, to reveal a metal sheet.

"Goddammit! Alright, Tali, can you cut a hole in the ceiling?"

"Already on it."

Tali brought out her Omni-Tool, carving a hole out of the ceiling. A round sheet of metal fell from the elevator's top.

"Okay, me and Vakarian'll go up top and provide cover fire, maybe snipe a few of them. You two just do what you were going to. On my signal Wrex, you blast the door down with biotics."

Wrex nodded, and gave a small grunt. Shepard and Garrus climbed up above the elevator, and saw fourteen guards in a semi-circle, mid-range from the elevator.

"Vakarian, can you search for snipers?"

"Not like I have a choice."

The Turian silently thanked the Spirits that he couldn't grin, and given away his snarky tone.

"Well I mean you could go back to the elevator. Cry a bit."

Damn.

Garrus peered through his rifle's scope, counting three snipers.

"Three."

"Can you get them all?"
"Shepard, you do know who you're talking to, right?"

Shepard grinned. "Three. Two. Now!"

Three bullets left Garrus' sniper rifle before the guards knew they were being attacked. Shepard sprayed bullets across the lobby as Wrex blasted the door down, taking out two guards.

Eleven left.

Tali put bullets in two of the guards heads, and ducked underneath one. Wrex blasted a small group away as Garrus pulled out his assault rifle.

Six left.

Garrus and John killed three with stray shots, saving Wrex in the process. Tali killed another, and Wrex finished off two others with biotic pushes.

All done.

Shepard and company ran into another elevator, this time with no trouble. Tali killed another two guards who were waiting for them.

"Nice work kid."

"Thanks Wrex."

"Hold up Shepard."

"Yeah, Vakarian?"
"Wait a second…"
"That's right Tali. A Mako."
