The Tomkah plummeted out of the Ryncol's cargo bay, landing on Therum with a loud Thump! Wrex was at the wheel, laughing his head off.
"Oh, that was brilliant! When can we do that again Shepard?"
John, along with Garrus and Tali, were still clinging to their seats.
"When we're dead."
The Tomkah revved into action, it's four wheels beginning to spin. Almost as soon as the vehicle began to move forwards, a video feed came on.
"Dharos, what's wrong?"
"It looks like the Alliance just got here. I'm out of sight, but they look to be going after Benezia's daughter too."
"Shit. Thanks, we'll be on the lookout."
"Don't die Shepard. Don't think my heart could take it."
"Love you too Dharos."
Shepard cut the feed, focusing on the path in front of the vehicle.
Just a minute later, the crew felt an explosion rock the Tomkah.
"Geth, straight ahead! I'm going to plow through them!"
"Can we take that much damage?"
"Ask the Pyjak over there! He's been calibrating it all this time!"
"I did get an armor upgrade for it on our last supply run!"
The Tomkah sped forward, either crushing or tossing Geth. For all the ammo the Geth used up, it did nothing more than create burn marks on the vehicle, little damage being done. Wrex began laughing again.
"This is incredible!"
Wrex swerved the Tomkah, coming to a halt in front of a large mining facility.
"Ladies."
Garrus, Tali, John, and Wrex exited the vehicle.
"Alright, we get in, find the Asari, and get out."
"Question: What do we do with her?"
"We take her with us, have her answer some questions, and drop her off on the Citadel."
The team entered the dig site, hoping they wouldn't find more Geth. Or worse, the Alliance.
Shepard approached the blue wall, his teammates covering him. An Asari was behind the wall, trapped in a blue bubble.
"Finally, some help. I was beginning to think I would starve."
"Are you Matriarch Benezia's daughter?"
"Yes, I am Liara T'Soni."
"Do you have any information on Saren?"
"Saren? Why would you need information on him?"
"So you don't know anything about his plans? His location?"
"No! Now would you please help me out of this bubble?"
"I'm afraid he won't be helping you Miss T'Soni."
Shepard turned, to see Kaiden Alenko, with his pistol drawn, slowly approaching him. His teammates had been apprehended by Alliance marines.
"Beautiful. Look, if you wanted to kill me you only had to ask."
"I'm not going to kill you, I'm going to turn you in."
"Turn me in? Look Major, I'm not doing anything illegal-"
"You're interfering in a Spectre investigation, and you slaughtered more than half the guards on a Noverian station."
"I can explain that."
"Please do."
"Didn't know and self-defence."
"Bullshit."
"Was it that obvious?"
"Just put your hands behind your back, and come in quietly. I don't want to have to kill you."
"Just promise me something."
"What?"
"Just uh…"
Shepard put his hands up, allowing Kaiden to handcuff him.
"Burn in hell."
Shepard flashed a smile, knowing the Spectre wouldn't fire on him. Kaiden signaled for the marines to take the four prisoners to the Normandy. Kaiden turned back to Liara.
"Don't worry. I'll get you out of there."
