Through another door. Two mercs were shooting in the opposite direction of me. They were shooting at…Mordin!
With ease, Mordin took down the two mercs. Was I just rescued by a salarian? A hot salarian.
"Shepard." He nodded in my direction. "An unfortunate day?"
"You could say that." I shrugged. "And I'm guessing it's not over yet."
"Landing pad." He pointed. "Gate. Locked."
"Let's look for a control panel." Nothing can ever be easy.
"Might I point out, appearance, pleasing to the eye."
I gave him a curious look. Had I heard that right?
Mordin reloaded his gun. "Heard you dropped through a fish tank floor.
"We'll talk about it later."
"Shame. Sushi delicious.
"We'll talk about it later." I stressed then paused. "Do you even eat sushi? Wait, what do you eat?"
I swear he smiled as he gestured to a door. "Control panel."
It was locked too. I raised my gun. "Stand back."
Mordin pushed it down. "Better idea." He tapped on the glass. "Greetings. The gate. Please open."
Who was he, oh, there was a volus inside.
The volus barley moved and the door to the lot opened.
"Much appreciated." Mordin looked to me, nodded, and started walking away.
I scowled. "Well, I could have done that."
As soon as we stepped on the landing pad, a C-Sec shuttle appeared carrying mercs and big guns.
I tackled Mordin and we fell behind, something, it was cover, that's all I knew. That and we were pinned.
"Damn it." I cursed. My pistol wasn't going to be able to stop that.
Mordin tapped on my arm and pointed up. I looked.
The glass cracked and Wrex jumped out with a 'raaaw'. He landed hard on the shuttle causing it to crash onto the landing pad. He lept down and charged. I couldn't really see what was going on, but the cries of pain were enough for my imagination.
I left the cover. "Wrex, what are you doing here?"
The krogan knelt by one of the mercs and rolled him over. "Ah, just butting heads with the Council over krogan expansion."
"Metaphorically?" Mordin stood beside me.
"Maybe." Wrex tossed me a larger gun.
Before we could banter more, something behind us exploded. We all ducked. More mercs rushed in.
"Shepard, we got a way out of here?" Wrex asked running to meet the enemy.
"Wrex, I'm a professional."
"That's not a yes."
"It's not a no."
Wrex gave me a look that screamed 'if you weren't so far away, I'd punch you'.
