Shepard could almost taste the metal floor he had been thrown onto. Shepard rubbed his head, and looked up to see Kaiden.
"You and your friends will stay down here until we reach the Citadel."
Shepard was too tired to make a witty comeback. He put his head down, and closed his eyes.
John woke up to the sound of deep, gravelly cursing.
"-damned pyjak cowards! When I get out of here I'll tear out your-"
"Wrex, you're going to hurt your throat."
"-mother's spine! Maybe I'll shove it into you, I know you'll need one when I escape! I'll-"
"Okay, I lied, you're just keeping me from getting any sleep."
"Guys!"
Both Garrus and Wrex turned to face Shepard. Tali was in a corner, fiddling with her Omni-Tool.
"First things first, where are we?"
"Looks like a reinforced storage room. I say that because Wrex already tried destroying it with biotics. Still is, by the looks of it."
Sure enough, Wrex was blasting away at the door.
"Okay. Garrus, do you still have your Omni-Tool?"
"No. Only reason Tali had her's is because it's built in to her suit."
"What's she doing?"
"No clue. She hasn't talked in seven hou-"
"Done."
"Tali?"
"I hacked my way into the ship's security feed. We can see everything."
"Where's Alenko?"
"Communications room. He's speaking with the Council."
'-Virmire. An STG squad has located one of Saren's bases. It would seem Saren himself is there.'
'I have prisoners I need to-'
'I'm afraid this takes priority. Hold them until you return from Virmire.'
"One of Saren's bases?"
"Looks like it," said Shepard. "We need to wait until they land, then escape."
"We could just call the Ryncol. Hijack the ship."
"No way. I'm not putting her, or the crew, against this ship. I heard the reports, it's the best there is. When we actually reach Virmire…"
"Alright. Tali, where are our weapons?"
"Cargo bay. We just take a left."
"Cool. Okay, well, looks like we wait."
"-and chew on my four testicles!"
Wrex pushed himself away from the door, sitting down.
"What was that? I missed it."
