"That's great Vakarian. Trouble is, none of us know how to drive it."

"That's where you're wrong Shepard. I learned how in Spectre training."

"So you're a rogue cop with nothing to lose, who has a problem with slavers but no problem killing innocents, and an ex-Spectre?"

"Close. And ex-cop with everything to lose, who has a problem with slavers, but no problem killing corrupt cops, and an ex-Spectre trainee."

"I still expect more details."

"Only if I get to learn how you got so crap at using assault rifles."

"I'm only subpar."

"Yeah, let's go with that."

"Alright Vakarian, new question!"

"Not the time!"

"How'd you get so crap at driving?"

"He's a Turian," said Wrex. "It's in his blood."

"It is not! It's just calibrated wrong is all!"

"Keelah, just stop and let me take a look!"

"I can't!"

"Why not!?"

"Being shot at comes to mind!"

"Oh. Well then, excuse me."

"Yeah, you tell him kid."

"Thank you Wrex."

"Just shut up all of you," yelled Shepard. "Just let the man drive, and maybe we'll get out of this death machine alive!"

The squad shut up, and let the man drive.

"Alright, we're here, no thanks to you."

"Garrus," began Tali. "There's only one wheel."

"That is a very good point and I choose to ignore it."

"Alright team, let's mo-

BOOM

"Holy shit! Vakarian, I thought you said it was safe!"

"I said we were here!"

"And you didn't do something about the giant fucking cannon!?"

"I didn't see it!"

"Oh shut up 'I didn't see it'! I'll take the cannon if you take the machine gun!"

"Do you even know how to use it?"

"Take aim, and press a button or trigger!?"

"...trigger."

Shepard scrambled to a ladder in the Mako's back. Garrus took hold of the wheel, placing a talon from each hand over two triggers. Shepard settled into the cannon, grabbing a joystick, and putting a finger over the trigger.

"Let's dance."

Machine gun fire and rockets sped towards the canon. An explosion rocked the Mako, but didn't deter from the fire. Still, no progress was being made on either side.

"How long'll those pyjaks take?"

"I don't know Wrex. Just give it a minute or two."

Another explosion shook the Mako.

"A minute or two, and we'll be dead!"

Wrex exited the Mako.

"Wait! Wrex!"

Tali went after him, drawing her pistol. Wrex already had his assault rifle out, shooting at the cannon.

"Keelah, Wrex! What are you doing?"

"I'm shooting at a big-ass cannon. Now help or get back in!"

Tali sighed, and joined Wrex in shooting at the cannon.

Shepard turned his head to a video screen, which showed Garrus at the wheel.

"We aren't making any progress!"

"Yes we are! It's smoking!"

"So are we!"

"We are? Oh. Well shit."

"We should just get inside!"

"And what, lose the Mako?"

"There's a garage-"

Shepard let off another rocket.

"-right there. It won't open from the outside."

"Alright, get out of there. I'll follow."

Shepard slipped back into the Mako, feeling it shake once again. Garrus had gotten up from the driver's seat, moving towards the exit. The two men left the vehicle, grabbing Wrex and Tali.
"We're going inside! Move!"

The aliens complied, heading for the doors to Peak 15, getting inside just before the Mako exploded.

"Well," Shepard started. "That was cl-"

The group was met with the sound of a Geth squad taking out their weapons.

"-Oh shit."

Wrex had already shot down two Geth, and Tali had hacked another. Shepard and Garrus pulled out assault rifles, gunning down five other Geth. The hacked Geth deactivated, and self-destructed.

"Eas-"

A Krogan charged Shepard, knocking him down.

"...ow."

Tali put two bullets in the Krogan's head, before being knocked back. Garrus had moved away, providing cover fire for Wrex, who was up close with his shotgun. Wrex blasted at the other Krogan, chipping away his armor. Shepard got up, ignoring his fallen assault rifle, instead pulling out a shotgun. He too began to blast at the armor of the Krogan, who had slowed down. As the alien began moving with a limp, Wrex charged at him. The Krogan fell to the ground, Wrex standing over him.

"Only question is," began Wrex. "How did Saren get Krogan support?"

"We'll ask him ourselves," said Shepard, picking up his assault rifle.

"And then we'll put a bullet in his head."
