The blinking orange light in the otherwise dark Normandy barely illuminated the hands in front of the XO's room panel that were trying to hack into the door. After several failed attempts the door turns an angry red and the muted glow of an omni illuminates an Asari face.
"For someone who has centuries left to live you seem to have a death wish." Plava steps toward the other Asari who curses in the native tongue. Straightening up Shar gives an annoyed glance at the red lock before turning away in disgust.
"Done making goo-goo eyes at the L2?" The younger asks with a grin.
"You sneak back aboard a ship with a fully intergraded AI, trying to break into the Shadow Brokers room and you are asking me if I am making moves on Shepard's second?. You are such a child."
"Ah. So didn't go well I take it." Shar grins to which Plava rolls her eyes. "Besides T'Soni is the new Shadow Broker imagine what kind of intel she had just behind that door."
"Which she is using to aid the war effort, remember? And she is a Matriarch's daughter it's not like she is going to have everything sitting open without layers and layers of security."
"Now you are just tempting me." Shar juts her lip out at the challenge.
"No I am warning you. You are going to get yourself in too deep and there are no second chances. Aria allowed you to come because she thought you might be useful. If you are so intent on learning secrets try the Traynor woman or the Quarian. Until more Asari start arriving and you can make yourself useful keep your fool head down."
"Okay Mom." She sneers and Plava wheels on her, grabbing the younger by the throat and lifting her off her feet.
"Need I remind you that half our crew got whipped out before we even made it off Omega? Sisters that I knew longer than you have been alive dropped like stones in front of those….things. And you got away because you can hack an instrument panel. So can half the humans on this ship, so if I think you are endangering this mission"I will end you." Blue biotics flow around Plava's hand and up her fingers, just enough to tighten around Shar's throat. Without another word she drops Shar who to her credit land on her feet without stumbling backward. She gives Plava a dangerous grin.
"About time you acted like on of Aria's. Might be some fight left in you yet, we will need that."
They exit the ship in silence and a pair of icy blue eyes fade back into the darkness unobserved.
A/N Just a little update to let you know I am kinda-sortof back. I hope to have a real chapter of substance up Thursday. Thanks to all the readers who favorite or follow I will probably be working on some other projects soon and more info to come :)
