It was after breakfast when we all met in the room closest to the door as Shepard and I discussed the mission together to everyone. "There is a High possibility that that Udina's successor had been converted." said Shepard, "I believe the Reapers will be expecting us but not you and the Bonaventure."

"Eh? Wait what?" I spoke, "are you suggesting what I think you are suggesting?"

"We play decoy to distract the Reapers while you guys go down and locate the Ambassador." said Shepard, "Relax Melly we got a lot of experience fighting these guys, take Kaidan on your team and everything should be fine from there on to finding the new Human Counselor."

"I don't know if I pull this off Shep." I spoke nervously, I never pulled something off this risky before without a casualty to my squad or myself so far as I knew.

"It does seem risky," said Joker, "But I've already briefed Pranky on some new maneuvers for her to try out."

"I know the ship needs plenty of upgrades but the best way that we could pull it off is to probably play dead." I said after thinking for a short bit.

"Oh I get yah Melly," Pranky spoke, "Eddie put up a map of where the Ambassador's last know location was."

"Sure." He said doing just that as it projected over the table. I looked as I saw not far off was a Mass relay.

"Shepard I think once the Reapers are distracted we take a ride on the mass relay to enter, from there on we'll go with the play dead scheme to drift through the reapers while you have them distracted. Eddie can you and Pat figure out how to jam their scanning for life forms to tell them there's no life forms on the ship?"

"It should take a while to make a virus to fool the reapers."

"Tali and I might have something to use as a base," spoke Liara.

"We do?" asked Tali.

"Yes the reaper code that Legion integrated into the geth?"

"Oh right." Tali spoke.

"We'd might as well get to work on that," said Pat.

"Tali a minute please."

"Ah sure Commander Hansen." she spoke as I went to a area for her and I to talk at, "What is it?"

"Remember that quarian that was on Omega?" I asked, "I'd like to add him to the crew."

"Kenn?" She spoke, "Hmm... That might take me a while but I'll contact the admiralty to see if he's on one of their fleets if not perhaps he might be here on the Citadel."

"Alright thanks for the tip." I said as she and I shook hands, "I take it from here I don't want people doing double duty."

"I understand I'll let the admiralty know they can expect you to arrive to inquire of his where abouts. I just hope he finished his pilgrimage."

"Well let's hope he did or I'll help him with what he's got so far." I replied, "Keep up the good work Tali."

"I will Commander."

"Melly please and thank you."

"Oh right," She spoke, "At least you're last name isn't Shepard."

"Well being part Shepard isn't all that bad." I joked.

"I suppose you're right."

"Carry on Tali," I spoke as I decided to look out for Liara's other mom.

"Need any help?" Kaidan asked, as he then gave me another data pad... I looked at it to see all the recommendations for upgrades for the ship. It was a tall order, I looked at Kaidan feeling a bit defeated but I forced my brave face on.

"Dang it we'll have to get enough missions to pay for these and then there's the other expenses we have to do too." I spoke, "Not that we could get the parts cheaper-."

"Well that depends maybe once we get Kenn on the crew he'd help us find the parts we need at a better price." said Kaidan, "Sorry I kinda listened in on your conversation with Tali."

"I should have included you in on that, sorry about that Kaidan." I apologized.

"No worries Melly. Any idea on where to find Liara's other mom?"

"Matriarch Aethyta?" I answered, "Well let's try Apollo's Cafe first and ask from there."

"Or we could ask Liara."

"Do we really want everyone from the Normandy doing double duty Kaidan?"

"Or I could track them down," said Feron as he joined us, "Besides I have the same connections Liara has."

"Right... What am I saying of course you can Feron. Could you track Matriarch Aethyta, Kenn and other possible candidates to add to the crew from outside the citadel as Kaidan and I will see if we can find them here since we have a few things to do while we're still here."

"Understood, um Commander, Major I have another idea."

"What's that?" I asked.

"Perhaps I could also track down parts to upgrade the Bonaventure using our contacts together once we recruit Kenn see if we could get them faster."

"Sounds like a really good idea, Feron." said Kaidan.

"If you want to I don't mind you checking out the black market, although I know they go for ridiculous prices on there." I said.

"True Commander Hansen." Replied Feron, "Oh and if I find any artifacts that need saving I'll let you know."

"Operation Heritage still exists?" I spoke.

"Yeah it does but it's not quite called that anymore," said Kaidan, "Fact is every government in the galaxy does it but everyone claims it was their idea."

"Well I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of it then."

Apollo's Cafe

"How are you feeling Melly?" Kaidan asked as we reached the bar, I was about to answer him when-

"She looks as if she wanted to sleep in a little more," said Matriarch Aethyta giving us a coffee for Kaidan and a black tea for me, "Liara told me you have a position available. I'm so happy you two helped Shepard to make Liara's night so special last night. She called me first thing this morning."

"Yes we do, ah do I refer you as Matriarch Aethyta or just-"

"Matriarch Aethyta isn't necessary Commander Hansen. I'd prefer Aethyta." She replied.

"Please call me Melly." I smiled as I blew on my tea.

"So Liara got in touch with you?" Kaidan asked.

"She didn't give many details, and neither did Shepard although she did ask for my blessing for Liara's hand in marriage. Finally something good has came from this war," Aethyta spoke, "I should call and congratulate them both."

"True," I spoke as I sipped my tea, "Aethyta from what I've been informed of your history you were big part of Asari Commandos. And from what Shepard and Liara told me you technically still are part of it?"

"I was assigned to keep an eye on my daughter the past few years."

"Yeah, but I stand but what Shepard and Liara are doing."

"Same for me too," said Kaidan, "Commander Hansen and I couldn't help but think there's more to this."

"You're right. I stopped a few assassination attempts from happening, except for that one that Shepard and Liara caught on to about the crooked Specter in what do you humans call it Ca-"

"Kahutz?" I replied, "when one person is linked up somehow with another who has something on them?"

"That's the word, but us Asari don't call it that."

"Hmm look we really could use a strong balanced team and so far it's just me and Kaidan who have biotic abilities."

"Does your ship have a bar?"

"Yes it does."

"Then I'm in."

"Great the Bonaventure is at Dock 46."

"Great see you then. I just have a few loose ends to fix up then I'll pack up," She spoke.

"You know Aethyta I could help pack if you want." said Liara as she and Shepard joined us.

"I would love that, Little wing."

After we finished our beverages Kaidan and I checked out the refugee camps outside our Ship's docking bay and the Normandy's docking bay. The plan was to met back at in the elevator once we were done, then headed back for Shepard's apartment. I asked around if people seen a young Male Quarian, but nobody seen a Quarian other than Tali, and some other Quarian girl...

I figured it could be a lead so I headed to the elevator only to bump back into Kaidan along the way.

"Whops sorry." I spoke.

"We have stop meeting like this eh?" He joked, "So did you get any leads?"

"Something, but it's the only thing I got so far." I replied, "How'd you do?"

"Apparently a Quarian girl was accused of stealing a credit chit the other year, perhaps there's a report of it at C-sect."

"Hmm I was told the same thing." I replied, "Well let's go and ask Bailey then."

Kaidan punched the button to the embassies as the door then opened as he said, "After you Commander."
