Chapter 3 Broken Dreams and Relentless Pursuit
Well my longest chapter yet. Thank you everyone for reviewing and reading it makes my day!
2174 The Planet Omega
The space station Omega still filled with poor disparaged people even after receiving new management stirs with unrest.
Poor Homeless: At the end of the day you're another day older.
And that's all you you can say for the life of the poor.
It's a struggle it's a war and there nothing that anyone's giving,
All the day standing about what is it for?
One day less to be living.
At the end of the day you're another day colder
And the enviro-suit on your back doesn't keep out the chill
And the merc lords hurry past
They don't hear the little ones crying
And the plague is coming on fast, ready to kill
One day nearer to dying.
Mad Prophet: Wait we're on a space station how can there be days?
Poor Homeless: Shut up this is Les Miserables!
At the end of the day there's another day dawning
And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise
Like the waves crash on the sand
Like a storm that'll break any second
There's a hunger in the land
There's a reckoning still to be reckoned and
There's gonna be hell to pay
At the end of the solar day!
Mad Prophet: You know that that's ridiculous right? We don't have a sun and we sure don't have seas and sand. I can't believe they call be the mad one!
At the factory of Mr. Archangel...
Kai Leng: At the end of the day you. Get nothing for nothing!
Sitting flat in your bum doesn't buy any bread.
Lia'Vael: There are children back at home.
Shiala: And the children have got to be fed.
Diana Allers: And you're lucky to be in a job.
Kai Leng: And in a bed...
Lia'Vael: And we're counting our blessings!
Eva Corè: Have you seen how the foreman is feeling today?
With his terrible breath and his wandering hands?
Diana Allers: It's because that asari Benezia won't give me his way.
Shiala: Take a look at his trousers you'll see how he stands!
Lia'Vael: And the boss he never knows, that the foreman is always on heat.
Eva Corè: If Benezia doesn't look out watch as she goes!
She'll be out on the street!
Factory Workers: At the end of the day it's another day over
With enough in your pocket to last for a week
Pay the landlord, pay the shop
Keep on working as long as you're able
Keep on working till you drop
Or it's back to the crumbs off the table
You've got to pay your way
At the end of the solar day!
Eva Corè: And what have innocent sister?
Come on Benezia let's have all the news!
"Dear Beneiza you must send us more credits your child needs medi-gel..
There's no time to lose...
Benezia: Give that letter to me it is none of your business!
With a spouse at home and a bit on the side!
Is there anyone here who can swear before the Goddess she has nothing to fear she has nothing to hide?
In the midst of the struggle Mr. Archangel arrives
Shepard: Will someone tear these two apart
What is this fighting all about?
This is a factory, not an arena!
Now, come on ladies, settle down
I run a business of repute
I am the governor of this station!
As he looks up Mr. Archangel sees Saren in his office.
Shepars: Foreman, I look to you to sort this out be as patient as you can.
Kai Leng: Now someone tell me how the hell this began!
Eva Corè: At the end of the day
She's the one who began it!
There's a kid that she's hiding
In some little colony
There's a man she has to pay
You can guess how she picks up the extra
You can bet she's earning her keep
Sleeping around
And the boss wouldn't like it!
Benezia: Yes it's true there's a child
And the child is my daughter
And her father abandoned us leaving us flat. Now she lives with an innkeeper man
And his wife And I pay for the child
What's the matter with that?
Workers: At the end of the day
She'll be nothing but trouble
And there's trouble for all
When there's trouble for one!
While we're earning our daily bread
She's the one with her hands in the butter
You must send the slut away
Or we're all gonna end in the airlock
And it's us who'll have to pay
At the end of the solar day!
Kai Leng: I might have know the varren could bite.
I might have know the pyjack had claws.
I might have guessed your little secret. Oh yes the
Virtuous Benezia who keeps herself so pure and clean.
You'd be I had no doubt, of any trouble here about.
You play a virgin in the light but need no urging in the night!
Eva Corè: She's been laughing at you while she's having her men!
Factory Workers: She'll be nothing but trouble again and again!
Eva Corè: You must sack her today!
Factory Workers: You must sack the girl today!
At the end of the solar day!
Kai Leng: Well, on your way.
Benezia: No please Mr. Archangel! Help me please I have a child!
Her screams go unheard as she is torn from the stairway and thrown out out he factory, a few coins tossed as the days wage.
Meanwhile in the office...
Saren: Please know me as Saren.
I'm here at your command
With honor due to each and justice in our hands.
Let all beware!
Shepard: Welcome sir come guard our laws.
I'm sure we're here in common cause.
Saren: You've done the city proud.
You're praised by those on high.
Your success has granted you a force-
The best the Citadel can supply.
Your people thrive!
Shepard: The dignity of toil to stay alive
Saren: It seems to me we may have met.
Shepard: Your face is not a face I would forget.
Before the two can discus further a cry and a crash is heard and the two rush off.
They find a krogan pinned under a skycar, its weight crushing him as a crowd gathers around him.
Shepard goes in to raise the skycar using his strength, he lifts from the end tilted up by the krogan.
Wrex: Thanks man, tried to preform a krogan airdrop. As cyan see not everything went according to plan. Heh heh.
Shepard: You're welcome, but try not to pull anything like that again on this station.
Wrex: I guess I owe you one if you ever find yourself in a jam I'll have your back.
Shepard: It's a rare thing to have a favor from a krogan battlemaster hope I won't have to use it.
Saren: Can this be true? I don't believe what I see!
A human your age to be a strong as you are,
A memory stirs, you make me think of a man.
From years ago, a man who broke his parole.
He disappeared...
Shepard: Say what you must, don't leave it there.
Saren: Forgive me sir I would not dare!
Shepard goes back to tend Wrex as Saren leaves to go file a report to the Citadel regarding the case of missing convict N7601.
