Mass Effect Shepard Rises.

The Normandy glided towards the planet Noveria he stood behind joker as he listened to him argue with the man over the com.

"Normandy you're not scheduled to dock here, state your business?"

Joker looked back at him and he nodded "We have a council SPECTRE aboard control."

He heard a sigh over the com and couldn't help but smile he knew that in council space SPECTRE'S could do anything they pleased they answered to no one but the council with a smile he spun oh his heel and headed towards his cabin to suit up.

After he had suited up he called for his team to meet him at the airlock after much thinking he decided on having his full team with him, as he stepped out his cabin Tali was leaning on the wall to the right of the door when it opened.

"Hey John so what can you tell me about Noveria?"

He smiled at her before he put his helmet on "Well it's a cold planet mostly covered in snow, so visibility is going to be a problem should we find ourselves outside." He saw Tali shiver "What's wrong?"

"Well it's just I hate the cold."

He placed is hand on her shoulder "hasn't you're suit got built in temperature control?" he asked giving her shoulder a quick squeeze.

"W-well yes but doesn't mean I still won't feel the cold."

He pulls her into his arms and wraps them around her "Well either turn it up or if your warm and cosy were you are stay there." A smile forms on his face when he sees her eyes go from wide to narrow.

"J-John as much as it would love to stay here, I don't think I can."

He nods and steps back "No problem Miss Nar Rayya" his voice full of teasing and a smile as he watches her place her hands behind her back.

"I'm glad you see it that way captain."

He laughs "Ok Tali come on let's go."

Upon stepping out the Normandy airlock he hated Noveria ice formed around the walls in the hanger and if it wasn't for a heated floor and a small cleaning Mech he and his team would have slipped on the floor, he motions for his team to follow and walks across the platform he turns a corner and comes face to face with three guards each has their weapons pointed at him. Moving faster than the guards thought, he reached the first guard a blonde haired woman and grabbed her gun then twisted her hand until a crack was heard and spun he round with one hand as the other pulled his gun free and placed it on the side of her head.

"Stand down my name is Shepard council SPECTRE and alliance commander."

He watches as a black haired guard motions for the other guard to lower her gun and speaks "I'm Captain Maeko Matsuo of the ERCS here at port Hanshan, please release Sergeant Stirling, I will also need you and your crew to release their weapons to use."

He grips the woman in his arm tighter and hears her hiss in pain "I don't think so as a SPECTRE I can keep my weapons and so can people who work with me." The tension in the room is thick until a voice sounds out over the speakers "Stand down Captain SPECTRE'S are allowed to carry weapons here," he glares at the captain as she nods

"Ok you can go about you're business SPECTRE but please try to stay out of trouble."

He nods and pushes the woman away from him and motions for his team to follow him as he walks past the guards and into a reception area, he steps through a scanner and alarms start to blare around him, a dark haired woman in a red dress steps out from a small office

"Don't mind the alarms please everyone step through so I can authorize you weapons permit."

He walks up to the desk and place both hands on the cold stone "what's up with your security chief today someone piss in her coffee" a series of laughs sound out behind him and he notices the woman in front struggling to keep a straight face as a blush spreads on her cheeks.

"No she just takes her job very serious, but where are my manners I'm Gianna Parasini how may I help you?"

He nods his head "I'm hunting down a rogue SPECTRE by the name of Saren for the council and the data packet I was given said there has been unconfirmed sightings here." He watches her nod and type something in on a terminal on the desk after a few seconds a beep sounds.

"Yes he has shares in some of our company's here his second is here now in fact."

He tilts his head and leans in "His second and who might that be?" he watches as she turns back to the terminal and types again until the terminal beeps again.

"An Asari Matriarch by the name of Benezia."

He hears a gasp behind him and turns to Liara "you okay?" he asked as he places his hand on her shoulder and gives it a squeeze, he knew straight away it was a stupid question as he notices her eyes full of unshed tears and pain.

"It's just I didn't want to believe that she was working for Saren but it true I had hoped it was a mistake but I cannot deny it any longer."

A sad smile forms on his face "It's okay" he turns back to Parasini "where can I find Benezia?"

He watches as Parasini turns back to the terminal and types something on the terminal and it deeps.

"Yes she's in peak 15"

He nods "and how can I get there?"

"You will need to see administer Anoleis, if you want I can show you the way?"

He looks back at his crew seeing them nod and turns back to Parasini "Ok lead the way." He followed silently behind Parasini as she took him to an elevator.

"This will take use to the main trading floor from there I will take you to Anoleis office."

He nodded and stepped into the elevator with his team getting in as well, once the lift came to a stop they stepped out and he turned to his team "Ok I will go with Parasini to speak with this Anoleis why don't you guys go shopping for upgrades or what not and I will contact you to find a meeting point." He watched as his team nodded and he nodded back and them turned to Parasini "lead on" he followed her down a set of stairs that were to the left of the lift as he walked down he noticed guards all over the place some turian others human "A lot of heat your packing here?" he asked with a raised brow.

"Well a SPECTRE is normally trouble so the company like to be prepared as I said please try to not get into trouble"

He looks at her with a glint of mischief before he squashes it "well I will try, but you must understand I cannot have anyone interfering in my investigation if they do I will kill them." She looked shocked for a minute before she nodded.

"Follow me."

He nodded and followed her in silence hoping today wasn't going to be a disaster.
