Death is only yesterday
Chapter:12
Reckless activity
On board the Normandy
The Normandy had taken off from the Citadel and Shepard did some various errands and missions, they did go to that biotic training center and net up with Jack, she will be a great asset to the war.
Now they are on route to go bring the newest leader of the Turians, because their help is needed. Communications chatter had been listened to and the Reapers have invaded the Turian home world.
Shepard is strolling the halls of the ship, they will be there in several hours and found the Commodore had just ended communications with Admiral Hacket, the council and a few others.
"I see your keeping busy," said Shepard
"I can say the same for you," said Bond
"I do recalled you did something reckless to get your powers." Said Shepard
"Ah, yes that." Said Bond "It has been while since I was in Turian space "
"When was this?" Asked Shepard
"During the first contact war," said Bond "The last days of the war."
"At the time I had become Commodore," said Bond "I went on some missions in the Galaxy, as I founded N7, my old number of 007."
"I wear the number with pride." Said Shepard "What mission you went on?"
"The alliance received an intelligence report that the Turians were building a experimental Element Zero bomb. Command wanted to send in a battalion of Marines to destroy it." Said Bond "But I convinced them I should and I have much experience in missions such as this and so I went, with no complaints at all."
"So what happened" asked Shepard
"It started out as this." Said Bond
Turian Space: 2157
It is not even the end of the month yet and the first contact war had begun, between the Human systems Alliance and a race known called Turians.
A HSA ship sneaked on in by using a cloaking device into Turian space and that ship named Thunderchild. Has approached a small moon near a Turian colony. For what purpose is only known to Alliance Command and Intelligence.
They were going to send in the marines to handle this mission, but the secret leader of the alliance known only as the Commodore suggested that he go on the mission alone, for he had much experience doing various mission like this.
They respected the wisdom and experience of the Commodore, James Bond knew all about the Turians and their military ways of life. He did had the adventure with Samara to take down an assassin, along with an Asari who hired him.
Seeing Omega and the Citadel was a great experience, with time had passed, the Earth formed HSA, colonized several world's and mass relays and humanity is at peace. James had a feeling that it would only be a matter of time before some sort of war happened.
This contact war just did, resulting in some lives lost and now he is getting into a pod to head down to a small moon. According to spy probes the Turians are building an element zero bomb.
It is inside a facility, a military type facility and the moon itself has forests, mountains and trees. A breathable place and then the pod hovers a few feet above the ground. James then jumped out feet first.
He wasn't wearing armor, it would only slow him down and is wearing black operations gear, but with a black cloak with a hood. On his forearm is the Omni-tool Samara had given him a long time ago.
A back pack is strapped to his back and his clothing has several pockets. Using the tool to pinpoint the location of the facility, it is not too far away, but there are several life forms at key locations to suggest guards.
The forest and bushes gave him perfect cover, although he knows the Turians also have Omni-tool technology and can use life form scans. He has an idea to make sure they don't detect him.
"Q," whispered Bond "Send out a small EMP pulse to distrupt their Omni-tools"
He knows the real Q is long dead, but his personality has been uploaded into a A.I and a annoying one too, A.I based technology is cutting edge.
Roger that 007, sending pulse now and who knew I am a mere toy to play with.
"Well you know, boys and their toys," muttered Bond 'Right Q."
Oh grow up and pay attention 007 I am not a Lego toy to play with.
From with in James's personal omni-tool, the A.I, Q sends out an EMP pulse and unknown to the Turian guards, the Omni-tools have been disabled and will have to rely on other means.
James kept on moving silently like the wind and night will soon approach this moon, he heard voices and climbed a tree to see who is talking. He sees two Turian guards talking and walking, They will walk under him shortly.
Once they did, Bond makes his move and dives down on them, with small blades attached to his wrists that pierced the heads off the two Turians with a thud sound, they never saw it coming. He checked if they have anything useful.
Key cards, good. James can access computers in the facility for any other information. Then he hides the bodies and moved on, a guard post is up ahead and using the shadows he sees four Turians inside. Eating a meal at the table.
He leaned against the wall, and took a peek. Still eating and so he tossed two grenades into the guard post. Before the Turians reacted, the grenades exploded, filling the inside of the guard post with poison gas.
Coughing violently, until they drop dead on the very food that they are eating. A last meal. James continued to move on, until he sees an older Turian talking to a young Turian boy named Garrus.
"Garrus," said Shepard "So I take it, he was a young boy at the time."
"Indeed," said Bond "The guard was his grandfather, in war people die."
"What were they talking about?" Asked Shepard
"Shooting mostly," said Bond "Not important."
Nartan Valkarian has been talking to his grandson Garrus on the communications line in which the conversation is mostly about shooting tips and promised the boy to give him lessons.
Suddenly Nartan gasped and Garrus wondered what is it's, to his horror and shock a knife appeared upon the chest of his grandfather. Then he briefly sees ghostly blue eyes of someone else. Then Nartan's head is slammed into the small communications array.
It cut the line of communication between grandfather and grandson. James showed no remorse and hides the body. While the boy Garrus is at shock and awe, in which he had no idea what to do.
James continued to move onward, silently killing several guards along the way. Until he sees the facility and it is not very well guarded. Only two guards guarding the front door of the facility. No other guarding patrolling the outside.
They must think no one would bother to take this place down, even the Citadel council does not know of this place. They are wrong and then he assembled a sniper rifle with a new type of silencer based technology.
Using a vantage point he looked through the scope, then pulling the trigger. Two shots 30 seconds apart. Both guards down, then he had his A.I Q to hack into the security system of the facility to make sure no one gets wise to what he is doing, he found a vent shaft to get in.
Inside the facility
A Turian guard is sitting on a toilet or what looks like one, in holographic for is about Turian news and about the war. He'd wish he was on the front lines, but he got this job instead.
It seemed peaceful and quiet. He heard a psst noise and then psst again. He shuts off the holographic news and is startled, a human he had heard about their species is hanging upside down.
Before he could react, he smiled and fired a gun at his skull. One shot, one kill. James leaped down and left the body sitting on the toilet. Blood had splattered on the wall. So he flushed the toilet, opened the door and shuts it.
He got the layout of the facility and knew where to go. Most of the facility staff is scientist, with very few guards. The security system was hacked by Q, so to avoid any problems along the way. He could of disguised himself as a Turian.
However it would arouse suspicion an unknown Turian running around. Going deep into the facility by sticking to the shadows or ducking into a room that was not used or hiding behind or under something. He got close to the heart of the facility. Then he sees a Turian general talking to a scientist.
"Sir," said the scientist "This Element Zero bomb is experimental, I don't know if it will work or not."
"I want this ready for launch," said the general "The council must not know about this weapon."
Oh, so that is his game. Building an experimental weapon and illegal one as well. James turned on the recorder to record this information and can be used for blackmail reasons.
"But what if they did," said the scientist "Those Spectres are scary."
"But they won't," said the general "The humans will be eliminated by the bomb, so get it online."
"I have it online now," said the scientist
"Very good," said the general
James had heard enough and goes head on by taking out the guards, the scientists flee for their lives. The general fought back, but is killed by poison grenade gas, the cheif scientist is injured in the fight and accidentally hit the countdown on the bomb.
Two minutes, damn not good. James killed the scientist and then tried to shut it down, no luck and then he dashed away from it. The alarms go off, however to him it didn't matter and dashed quickly to get out. He reached the front door, only then.
KABOOM
He knew that wasn't a good sign. He reached his hand out to open the door. A bright light is coming towards him and engulfed the facility. So he made it out or so he thought. He couldn't hear a thing expect for his own heart beat as if the world around him suddenly went dead.
Thump…Thump….Thump
"Whoa!" Said Shepard "How did you survive."
"That answer I will tell you" said Bond "It was like this."
