"Three on one, pal." Jane says defiantly to the Cerberus agent. "It's over."

"No." He says with a sly grin. "Now it's fun."

Councilor Valern stands between the agent, and Shepard and her team consisting of Garrus and James. All three have their sights trained on the agent.

Suddenly, a fourth person materializes behind the agent. Thane, holding a sword and pistol.

"Four." He says as the agent glances over his shoulder.

Then, another drops in from somewhere above, wearing a black hooded jacket with red accents and two very long blades extended from her wrists.

"Five." She chirps snarkily.

Before the fifth can take much of a stance, the agent targets her first, delivering a swift kick that sends her flying into a nearby glass table, shattering it. He then sets his sights on the Drell, and the two start open conflict.

The fifth person, whom Shepard guessed was the Assassin she was supposed to meet, stands up and instinctively pulls the Salarian Councilor to safety.

"You Abigail?" James asks.

"Yes! Fight now, talk later!" Comes the reply as the Assassin quickly heads back to help Thane. James looks to Garrus, and the Turian shrugs in response.

The Cerberus agent shoves the Drell away just as the Assassin comes back, clashing her wrist blades against his sword. The two tangle with each other repeatedly, neither able to break the other's defence. Abby suddenly loses her balance, falling to the floor in an awkward heap. The agent raises his sword only to be distracted by Thane, instead stabbing him.

"Thane!" Shepard and Garrus shout in unison as the agent begins his escape, running down the stairs back to the walkway outside. Abby enters pursuit first, not slowing down as the agent hops the railing and instead following him. He lands more cleanly than her on top of the car below, with the Assassin nearly falling off. The car takes off, with a C-Sec cruiser taking its place. Shepard and her team enter it after tending to Thane.

"I'm on him, Shepard!" Abby announces over the local comm channel as the trio take off. They level off a little ways behind the suspect car just in time to see Abby be kicked off of it.

"Woah - aaaaaaaAAAAAA!" Her shout is cut off by landing on the C-Sec car's windshield, shattering it.

"You got him, huh?" The Turian says sarcastically.

"...ow…" Comes the pained reply.

The Cerberus car returns a moment later with the agent jumping off and onto their car. Before anyone can react, he stabs his sword through the car's engine core, disabling it. Shepard begins to lose control as the agent casually hops back into his car and pulls away, in the direction of the other Councilors. Abby clings to the car for dear life as it begins to rapidly descend towards a strip of shops on the Presidium.
