A/N : hi guys sorry that I didn't post anything yesterday things were pretty hectic so I'll post two things today and enjoy this chapter.
"I've got to go now Liara no need staying up for me" Elizabeth said sadly as Liara ran her fingers through her hair.
"You'll be gone that long?" Liara asked.
"Yeah seeing this is a council meeting add in the flight both there and back I'll be back either late tonight or early tomorrow morning." Shepard replied.
Liara smiled then walked Shepard to the front door and watched as she boarded her skycar to drive down to the port "Shepard" she called.
Shepard then turned around "Stay safe" Liara said.
"I will Liara I promise" Shepard said.
Liara watched as Shepard flew away "Glyph" Liara said.
"Yes Doctor T'Soni" the VI replied.
"give me updates on all the agents and place a tracker on the Sanctity's Coast tell me when it arrives on Thessia again" Liara said.
"certainly Doctor" Glyph replied hovering away.
The Citadel 4 hours later
Shepard arrived at the Citadel with a familiar face waiting for her "Wrex your looking better than the last time I saw you" Shepard joked.
"Yeah that was fun" Wrex replied.
"yeah" Shepard agreed fond memories entered Shepard's mind as the two friends set off for the Council chambers.
"I'll not see the peace that this galaxy had fought so hard for broken because of some brutes" Esheel called.
"I'm sorry councillor but the peace that the REST of the galaxy had fought for isn't that what you meant?" Colt argued.
"What!" the Slarian yelled.
"you heard me only the leaders of the STG saw what Shepard did was the right thing the Krogan deserved a new start and when that happened the Slarian Union looked the other way while the rest of the Galaxy fought the Reapers I was at Earth not one Slarian soldier said he or she was part of the union they were part of the STG" Colt said smugly.
"ENOUGH" the Sparatus said.
"I believe we have visitors" he said when the Slarian councillor saw who it was she was horrified.
"What is one of those brutes doing here?" She asked.
"This 'Brute' has a Name I am Urdnot Wrex Krogan Clan Chief and Battle Brother to all those who fought on Earth" He said Nodding at Colt "I Believe you all know who this is" he added.
"We are well aware who Elizabeth T'Soni-Shepard is Clan Chief" Tevos replied calmly Shepard still wasn't used to her new last name especially under these circumstances it just reminded her if anything goes wrong it'll destroy her and Liara's life's.
"I still don't understand why they're here" the Slarian said crossing her arms.
"We have been over this you want to call the curing of the Genophage illegal and you accused the ex-Commander of 'influencing Mordin's actions' and seeing as he is dead he cannot be here Shepard shall take his place and Wrex is here as he represents the race that shall be the most affected by this outcome" Colt said in a tone Shepard could only describe as bored.
earning a smile from both the Asari and Turian councillors it was clear to Shepard that the only councillor that wanted to call the curing of the Genophage illegal was the Slarian.
"Shall we get on with it?" Wrex asked.
"ahem… yes Elizabeth T'Soni-Shepard, Krogan Clan Chief Urdnot Wrex you have been called to this Council meeting based on a accusation made by the Slarian councillor about the curing of the Genophage." Tevos informed them.
"The Slarian councillor shall inform you about her accusation then you both shall defend your self's by telling us what your views of those events were" Sparatus informed them.
"And after all the proceedings have been given this council shall make there decision" Colt said.
"My Accusation is that willingly and with full knowledge of your actions you both supplied Professor Mordin Solus with classified information about Restricted STG countermeasures and the Genophage its self thus enabling him to cure the Genophage." Esheel said matter-of-factly.
Wrex then looked at Shepard who then nodded and stepped forward.
"Councillors neither of us supplied Mordin with any information about the Genophage as he worked on the Genophage Alteration project he knew all he needed to know to cure it." Shepard said.
"And what about the Countermeasures?" the Slarian asked thinking she's won.
"he was part of STG he knew how to counter act them" Shepard said.
"but he wouldn't have known about them one of you must have told him" The Slarian councillor said.
"Yes Shepard told us after the Slarian Dalatrass tried to cut a secret deal with her." Wrex said.
"What your lying you don't have any proof" The councillor said Shepard said nothing she just pressed a few buttons on her omni-tool and replayed the recording of the conversation she and the Dalatrass had.
"Elizabeth T'Soni-Shepard Krogan Clan Chief Urdnot Wrex would you leave us for a minute the Council must come to a judgement we shall send a C-sec Officer to collect you when we have made a decision" Tevos informed them.
"Take all the time you need" Wrex said as he Walked away with Shepard.
"So Shepard what do you thing are we going to be jailed?" Wrex asked.
"What are you kidding? Did you see how desperate the Slarian Councillor got? We shall be fine" Shepard said then a C-sec Officer arrived.
"The council will see you both now" he said.
"thank you" Shepard said smileing.
as she and Wrex walked back to the Council chamber "Elizabeth T'Soni-Shepard, Krogan Clan Chief Urdnot Wrex it is the view of this council that the curing of the Genophage was not illegal and we shall look into that secret deal the Dalatrass tried to make" The Asari Councillor announced.
"WHAT?!" the Slarian yelled "Mark my words you'll all come to regret that decision" she said storming out of the council hall.
"you both are free to leave" the Asari said Wrex and Shepard walked out of the Council Chambers.
"So Shepard want to get a celebratory drink?" Wrex asked with a devilish grin.
"I'd love to but I've got to get back home Liara will start to worry" Shepard said.
"we can't have that can we?" Wrex asked.
"nope" Shepard replied.
"at least let me walk you back to your ship" Wrex said.
"alright" Shepard said as they walked to the docking bay.
"see you soon Shepard" Wrex sad as Shepard boarded the ship.
"you can come with me I'm sure Liara wouldn't mind" Shepard said.
"nah I'm going to talk to my ambassador to see if we can't make sure the Slarians never put us in this situation again" Wrex said.
"Alright good look with that" Shepard said.
"thanks" Wrex said as the doors closed and the ship took off.
A/N A Hudge thanks goes out to Combine GLaDOS how helpfully reminded me about the Councilors names and I know Esheel is part of the 'new' council but given the Salarians short life span i think that she would be councilor by now.
