Mission Support: The one goal

I was alive, going to the armory, the explosion hadn't killed me, in fact, what really happened is that a krogan fired a missile launcher in the roof, trying to slow down the strange synthetic I saw. It worked, giving time to me for escape, while the machine was occupied with the krogan, he could be violent, but against that thing was not going to be enough and I had to be fast, since it will come to me next.

The path was crowded with geth, sometimes I had no choice but to fire my assault rifle, and invisible they were an easy target. I lost my count at fifteen kills, before I found a geth launcher, beginning to destroy always two at the same time, since we were fighting in close quarters and the geth rarely leave their cover while in groups, since them share process power, leaving them more intelligent.

The more close I was to the armory, more geth destroyers and primes I had to kill. When they died, at least I could pick the fallen launchers, making it easy to kill the next one, in theory. I was overloading shields and barriers and using Incinerate in armors, leaving them vulnerable. Matt had his grenades, very effective but limited. With Zaeed, they might have better chances than I might.

I saw the door of the armory when something hit me in my legs; I was being choked in my knees. My cloak disabled, so as the enemy's, a geth Hunter had found me. He was strong, and I getting out of air when I dropped my Mattock and picked my M-358 Talon, a heavy pistol, essentially a hand shotgun with four shots per thermal clip. One shot close as I am to the Hunter was fatal and I aimed in his head.

Didn't have to wait for the geth to die, after the shot I could breathe again. Took a while to recover and a geth Prime appeared out the door, I cloaked again and got closer. I overloaded his armor, and while my tech powers was cooling, I got round him and shot in his back. I shot everything I had, leaving my pistol empty, I was too close to use flare so I rolled back and Incinerate him. He was down, I looked around the armory, and there was no geth. However, I caught something when looking, and I looked again.

I was getting close to someone I knew, Makarov, he wasn't the contractor, but he probably don't knew who was, and I had to know who ordered this mission after the end, but while I was in the middle of the battle, I had to knew why we were here, and this, Makarov surely had an idea:

"Strahovsky, you were shot." There wasn't any blood, but he could be elsewhere.

"Look who found me Samuel. Looks like you survived that crazy creature on the side door." He knew I had encountered the synthetic.

"How do you know that?"

"We were here looking for a weapon from an unknown technology, but we found only the geth fighting each other and that organic mech, nothing else." What he was looking for.

"That synthetic it's not created by the geth, maybe your contractor knew what you were looking for, and sent you to a trap, to see witch abilities it had, or if he could be destroyed."

"Heh, you are a smart man Samuel, and you are alive, the question is, will you need me alive or dead?" He was also smart.

"I need you alive to find the contractor, but I won't carry you, I just need your communications log, so you are expendable."

"I wasn't shot, someone betrayed me, I think that was that crazy krogan fighting the mech, and he tried to kill me but leave me unconscious here. To die by the geth, I just got lucky."

"You are going with me than, to my ship. Let me talk to Matt first, so he can go find it."

I called Matt, but couldn't hear him right:

"Sam, where are you?" The sound was making me deaf.

"I found Makarov, he is alive."

"We aren't even inside, that synthetic can't be destroyed, it is impossible." Bad way for a exiting.

"Use smoke grenades and retreat to my ship, use the VI to go to the last location we leave it, it is close to your location."

"Can't you get out with Makarov?"

"Not with the creature blocking my way."

"All right where you will be?" It was good that he was alive.

"I will go to the roof and wait you."

"Good plan I am retreating with Zaeed."

I could still hear him yelling to Zaeed to go back to the ship, when I told the same to Makarov in my location.

I was going to the roof, but without any Hunter finding me again, but I knew there was going to be snipers in the roof, and a cannon. Close to the stairs Matt was calling me:

"Sam, we need help, there is a geth Colossus here, he is fighting some Armatures like the ones we found early, we can't get past them, they are too much." I had to do something.

"Get away from them I will fire the cannon."

"What, what about the ship?" We had to risk it.

"There is no other way; I am already in the roof." I didn't stop while talking.

"Aim in both sides." I will.

"Makarov, cover me while I aim it." He don't say nothing, just aimed his assault rifle.

I was at the console, the geth wasn't using it, and so I didn't have to override it. I just input some old launching codes. The tricky part was aim it using my ship as reference, so took the aim off my ship and fired south to it. One shot, two, three, Matt wasn't calling me so I was missing, or shooting the wrong target when I called him myself:

"Matias are you alive?" He answered enthusiastic:

"Yes, you destroyed the Armatures but the Colossus is reappearing itself."

"Send me his coordinates now."

I received the location of the Colossus and aimed right on top of him. I shot one time to destroy the Shields, one more for the armor and other to be sure it died, this time, Matt called me:

"It worked! They are all dead." When I heard a scream in the roof.

Makarov was down, a geth Sniper was aiming at me, I had only time to find some cover. It scratched my armor, but my shields protected me, I got out of cover and fired with my semi-automatic Black Widow, two times. The geth was down and I called Matt again:

"Matt, are you in the ship?"

"Yes, I'm on the landing on the roof." I wasn't seeing anything.

Then my ship uncloaked and I saw him in the other way of the cannon. I forgot that I used the cloaking device Matt found years ago to make the ship invisible for a time. But, it was like a big shuttle, and I modified the cloaking device to use the energy of the ship. Even so the time before overheat was only fifteen minutes, but was enough to land safely in a war zone.

I checked if Makarov was alive and he was. I applied Medi-Gel and he wake up, so he came walking on his own and I was covering him. When I was inside and Begin flying I saw the strange synthetic again, this time fighting the assault team, but if Matt and Zaeed wasn't able to kill him, what chances they had?
