Citadel: A story don't cost anything, or does it?

And there I was, standing in front of a door, waiting for a man, dangerous, but I needed what he provided. Information is valuable in the galaxy and I desperatly want it. The lead we obtained from Makarov got us to a wall, we didn't found the contractor with just his communication, so Makarov himself was going after the contractor. In the meantime, I had to find who created the synthetic we saw, and the shadow Broker was the only way.

The door opened so I get inside and ask the man in the middle of what appeared to be bodyguards:

"Are you the agent, Fist?" He was human.

"I'm Fist, why are you here?" He was playing with me, to see what I knew.

"You know why I am here, I need information, one that a broker would know."

"It's not in my place to know everything the Shadow Broker know. " He was cold, but he had to know something.

"So am I wasting my time here?"

"That depends, what information you need?" I had to be careful to not reveal everything.

"I want to know why the geth are out of the Perseus Veil."

"So, you were on the attack on Shanxi." He know about the mission, probably know who I am too, he really was playing with me.

"I was, but I'm alive, and need to know why they attacked."

"Like I said, i don't know everything, but I can point you to the right direction, another agent know what you need." It was a bad place to be, standing betweentwo Shadow Broker agents, but I had no choice.

"And you will just tell me who the agente is?"

"I could do that, but nothing comes for free, seventy Thousand credits." He was holding a OSD in his left hand.

I transferred the credits to him and he began to walk in my direction. He gave me the OSD and said:

"In that is everything you need to know about the other agent, she works for a company in Noveria, they are researching geth technology. That OSD have all the plants of their researching base, what you do with it is not my problem, now, if you excuse me, there are other people in need of my services."

I was outside, the meeting was not what I expected, buta t least now I had a place to search for clues about the geth. I just needed to find Matias in Flux, he like to play Quasar in there and drink, wasn't a bad place to drink.

I was standing inside Flux when I saw Matt drinking at the bar. I walk to the bar and sat at the bench in his right side, there was a kid on the left side drinking too, he was young and was chatting with the asari bartender, probably hitting on her. I asked a drink to the other bartender and said to Matt:

"I got the information we need, we are going to infiltrate a base on Noveria."

"What, look, we are not industrial spies now, are we?" He wasn't joking, it was a real question.

"They are doing research on the geth, there is a informant in the labs, working for the Shadow Broker." I was lowering my voice to the max when my drink came. I drank all of it.

"Bring me one more please." Matt began laughing at my side and talked loud enough for the boy to hear:

"That remember me the time you kill that krogan after drinking here, do you remember?" He was drunk already.

"Of course I remember, it was the time I met Faesa for the first time."

The boy on the left side looked surprised, aof course he heard that. Ando f course he was going to ask how I killed a krogan:

"You killed a krogan here, how?" i didn't even had time to respond, Matias was doing it.

"He killed one krogan with a knife and scared the other, all for saving a quarian he never met before." He was more drunk I that I could handle, he was going to tell the kid about Faesa.

"A quarian, do they ever leave their fleet." The boy didn't know about the Pilgrimage, in fact few people outside the quarian flotilla knew. Matt said again:

"Yes, and he dated her for four years, almost married her." This time I intervened:

"It was five years and you know why I got that apartment." Matt said:

"Yes, to live with her right before we stoled that ship for her." He was saying too much. The kid asked again:

"You stoled a ship for her?" I responded this time.

"Look kid, it was a long time ago, now I can't tell you. We, need to leave the Citadel, right Matias?" He answered begging:

"Oh common, tell the kid at least how you meet her, and killed the krogan, it won't hurt you." I didnt had the time, I needed to head to Noveria fast.

"We need to leave Matt." He begged once more.

"Do it as a favor to me, for the kid." I had to tell the story, he wasn't going to leave until I do.

"You owe me one Matt, allright kid, pay attention and you might learn something."
