DevonF215: Dang, Twitlight Extinction sounds awesome.
dragonc825: He wouldn't care, the Reaper would just take it as a race that it wont have to worry about anymore.
CrimsonSylvan: Its going to take a while my friend, I have a few worlds to cover, but hang in there, Sparatus will complain but seeing that he wont get the support of the rest of the Council, he won't do anything, though bitching at Harry is a good way to annoy him.
shirousagi87: He decidedly to take a better look at the Planet before doing that, good thing too!.
La Phyzz: In this chapter, there's going to be a general reaction, but when Harry and Shepard go to talk with the squad while doing their rounds you'll see more personalized reactions.
pallendin pie: I'm glad you liked it.
spellboundfool: Yeah, Harry doesn't like using his power on people, especially to changed them they way he did it with the Batarians, but he will do so if necessary, Harry was alwaus going to make sure the former slaves will be take care.
RT89: Hmm I like Twitlight purge, but I'm leaning towards Twitlight Extinction, which was recommended to me as well and yup, anyone would be rightfully terrified by Harry, he's not someone you should poke, at all.
ElderEldrazi: Support the Slave Relief account by buying a pair of brown pants today!.

Chapter 67.
After a quite a few hours, a tired but very satisfied Shepard came out of the simulation and walked away from the poor Salarian, Ochren, who wad crying bitter tears of defeat, no matter what he programed the simulation with, Shepard just ran through it and kept easily coming on top.
It was both infuriating and annoying, so Ochren tried everything he could think of and in the end, Shepard still won, so Shepard walked away with his head held high and Ochren sulking in defeat.
Shepard quickly went to look for Harry and found him sitting on a table and watching the screens showing other people going through the simulations, but the Dragon God quickly turned his head towards Shepard and grinned as he saw him walked over to him.
Once Shepard stood in front Harry, the Dragon God stood up and said "looks like you had fun".
Shepard chuckled and nodded "yeah, sorry about taking a long time Harry, time just flew past me".
Harry laughed a bit and shook his head "it's okay, I kept myself busy, so what's next?".
Shepard then decided to head to Admiral Ahern and report, so Shepard and Harry walked their way out of the hall mess, however, as soon as they reached the door, they found and Turian and Human arguing nearby.
The Human suddenly pointed at the Turian's chest with his finger and said "back off, Vidinos! I haven't done anything wrong".
The now revealed Turian as Vidinos, slapped the Human's hand away and said "if you've tampered with government equipment, Bryant, I'll have you thrown in the stockade!".
Harry raised an eyebrow "well shit, things got escalated way up and quick...".
Shepard nodded and being curious to what was going on, he decided to approach Vidinos and Bryant, he then turned his head towards the Turian and asked "what are you crying about?".
The Turian growled at Shepard and waved him off "get lost Shepard-- this doesn't concern you".
Ochren, who had been watching everything on one of his monitors, communicated to Shepard 'after he stopped crying of course' "Vidinos is just mad because a human beat his record, especially because you beat everyone else's as well".
Vidinos heard Ochren and growled again "shut your mouth, holo jockey! Bryant says he scored highest in a mission from multiple combat modes, no human's ever done that, and now you also did it! I doubt an Spectre would cheat but him?".
Harry huffed "great, another alien with a chip on his shoulder against humans, this is getting old".
Shepard nodded in agreement and he himself was getting tired of this sort of attitude as well, so he narrowed his eyes at Vidinos and said "keep mouthing off and I'll show you what a Human can do".
Vidinos frown and shook his head "threats? is that all Humans can do? impressive, tell you what Shepard, you beat my record again, and Bryant won't spent the rest of the competition in the stockade, hell, if you even come close, I'll give you my weapon".
Shepard sighed "I already beat your record, just did it too, but fine, I'd better go make some room in my trophy case for your gun".
Vidinos grunted "your confident, for someone who clearly got lucky the first time around, but that'll only take you so far, I hope Bryant has something to read, he'll be in that stockade for a long time".
Harry frowned as he watched Vidinos walk away "I could just kill him you know?".
Shepard shook his head, he really didn't like Vidinos's attitude but that didn't mean he wanted him dead... yet, so he quickly turned around towards Ochren and got back to work, the poor Salarian was already tearing up in despair, he knew his torment wouldn't end anytime soon.
A few hours later.
Having already tried and won each mode already allowed Shepard to quickly go through each simulation again, Harry stood besides Ochren and watched Shepard beat his own high score again, poor Ochren was sweating and crying trying to somehow stop Shepard or make him lose.
But, with Shepard's Harry made gear, it became impossible for Ochre to actually offer a challenge, it just wasn't fair to the poor Salarian and Harry felt a little bad about it.
But eventually, Shepard once again, broke records and cemented his first place on all modes again, so Shepard came out of the Simulation and walked over to Vidinos, who was gaping in shock "Ochren must have changed it! or... there's a bug in the simulator... you got lucky, human".
Shepard frowned "I don't have time for sore losers".
Vidinos growled at Shepard and then pointed his finger towards Shepard "I'll find out how you rigged the simulator, your 'record' won't stand, heads will roll!".
Harry huffed and then snapped his fingers, there was a flash of green light as time stopped for everyone, except Vidinos, Shepard and Harry, the Turians was startled and looked around widely, meanwhile Harry cracked his neck "well, I'm about done listening to your whining, so I'm going to kick your ass all over this Space Station for being an asshole".
What Shepard witness next, was the most violent ass kicking he had ever seen in his life, Harry literally used Vidinos as a mop and proceeded to wipe the entire Space station with his sorry ass, and he means the entire Space Station.
Walls and Cealing were also wiped with Vidinos's beat up and screaming body, Shepard couldn't stop watching such a sight, it was quite impressive to see after all.
Some time later, Harry finished using Vidinos as a mop, healed him enough to no show any outside injuries and then threw him on the floor in front of Shepard.
The Commander looked down towards the squirming Turian, Vidinos grunted and began to speak "a-alright... Bryant is clear, just keep that monster away from me...".
Shepard grinned and shrugged "what makes you think he listen to me? if I were you, I would stop being an asshole, you never know when your going to find someone unwilling to take your attitude".
Vidinos just groaned pain and Shepard took that as a yes, he quickly bent down and took Vidinos's gun and the walked over to Harry who snapped his fingers and restarted time again.
No one knew what happened, but only saw Vidinos on the floor and in pain, though not many really cared, the guy is an asshole and not many liked him anyways.
Ochren then waved at Shepard and both him and Harry walked over to the Salarian, who sighed and shook his head "well, thats all of them, you took the top spot everywhere you could, no one's even surprised anymore...".
Ochren looked defeated and tired but still smiled, Shepard nodded to the Salarian and then walked away, eventually him and Harry made it back to Admiral Ahern, who smiled at Shepard and then gave him a nod "impressive work in there, Shepard".
Shepard nodded and then asked "got anything else for me to do?".
Ahern crossed his arms and then stared at Shepard for a while, but then he nodded to himself and said "there's a special scenario I don't get to offer to many operatives, I want you to give it a shot.
Look kid-- you've done well, but I've been through a lot worse, and it wasn't a simulation, but I could make it one...if your interested".
Shepard thought about for a bit and then nodded "I would like to give it a try".
Ahern nodded "it's a reenactment of one of my missions, we held off an ambush of Turian Assault Troops, back during the Contact War, just me and a small squad.
I haven't finished programming it yet, but it's close enough, you can try it if you like".
Shepard raised an eyebrow "I'd be the first one to try it?".
Admiral Ahern nodded "technically, though I did it first... in the real world, rules are simple, survive until your picked up, if you can... you'll be ridiculous outnumbered, no real cover to speak off, it's the ultimate worst case scenario, of course it would only be a simulation".
Shepard nodded and then said "then up the difficulty, I don't want it easy".
Ahern grinned at Shepard "you got balls, Shepard, but it still just a simulation, even our best VI's aren't as good at the real thing".
Shepard huffed, he felt very confident with Harry's gear in and wanted to be put it through a real test this time, see how far his armor and pistol can go, so he said "then turned off the safeties".
Ahern frowned this time and looked unsure "no safeties? highest level of difficulty? you'll never do it, and then I'll have go explain how a Spectre died on my station".
Harry chuckled at the idea of Shepard dying, with his armor on, there no way that can happen and even if it somehow did, he would just bring him back to life, but Admiral Ahern didn't know that, in his eyes, Shepard was bitting more than he can chew.
Shepard wasn't worried either, so he stared at Ahern directly in the eyes and said "what do you want to bet?".
The Admiral looked pensive for a while, but then nodded "a wager, huh? yeah... okay, I've got a nice little retirement place on Intai'sei, I never go there and I don't plan on retiring any time soon, it's yours, if you can beat it, what are you wagering".
Shepard grinned and then said "my life".
Admiral Ahern frowned but nodded "right, so, you really want the safeties off? if you die, it's getting logged as user error, I'm not losing my job over this".
Shepard just nodded "set it up".
The Admiral huffed and then said "talk to Ochren, I'll make sure he gets the new settings, I would said good luck, but you'll need a lot more than that".
Shepard nodded, and then he left to speak with Ochren, with Harry following close behind, soon enough, they made it back to Ochren, who sighed the moment he saw Shepard "great, your back... what can I do for you?".
Harry wanted to laugh at Ochren look, the Salarian had this look on his face that said he was done with everything already, but Shepard ignored it and the said "let's try a new simulation, I understand Ahern set up a special one for me".
Ochren nodded and then sighed "for the record, I'm against turning the safeties off...".
Shepard smiled, despite Ochren's desires for Shepard to lose, he still didn't want him to die, so the Commander wanted to assure him "I'll be fine".
Ochren huffed "what about my simulator? I'll be making repairs for weeks?".
Harry grinned "leave it to me, I'll fix everything that gets damage, so don't worry and fired it up".
Ochren nodded, very glad that he didn't need to worry about repairs, still, he was feeling rather nervous for Shepard "I don't say this often, but good luck".
Shepard nodded and then walked towards the simulator door, while Harry grinned at him and gave him a thumbs up, the Commander returned it as well and then stepped inside.
Harry then turned to look at Ochren's screen to see Shepard taking on this mission, Ochren immediately began to program everything and Shepard got ready.
Shepard found himself inside a city on an unknown planet, he looked around for a bit, but then got ready, he took out his Harry made Pistol and began wait, however he was immediately barraged by multiple Snipe shots, most hit his head and and the rest his chest.
His armor protected him, but he immediately jumped into cover "shit! that would have killed me and turned me into a pile of meat if I didn't had my armor on".
Shepard frowned, and then called out to his Harry's made Pistol "Ammo Swap Light Bullets!".
His Pistol shifted and then began to glow with a golden light, he then rolled out of cover and began to shot towards where the Sniper's Shots had come from, beams of golden light shot out from Shepard's pistol and immediately went through anything that the Snipers used as cover.
All of the Snipers died with laser shot wounds to the chest and head, but Shepard didn't stop and immediately took off running while taking shots from the big army of Turians coming from everywhere.
He pulled on the trigger of his Pistol and began to charge a shot, he reached some cover in the middle of the simulated arena and jumped over it, he quickly stood up and aimed at a big group of enemies.
Shepard quickly let go of the trigger and a massive beam of golden light shot out from his Pistol and went through the enemies, incinerating them in a second, however a few enemies approach him by the side and tried to hit him with their weapons.
But their attacks bounced off Shepard's shield and pushed them back, having gotten some space, Shepard jumped back and the yelled "Ammo Swap! Dark bullets!".
Shepard's Pistol shifted again and began to glow with a black light, he quickly pulled in the trigger of his Pistol and charged a shot while jumping back one more time, as soon as the shot finished charging, he immediately let go of the trigger while aiming at his enemies.
A black hole shot out of his Pistol and flew towards the enemies, the black hole quickly began to pull on the enemies and everything not nailed down to the ground, many enemies were pulled in and killed by the black hole until it dissipated.
But that gave Shepard time and space to move away and get behind new cover, he and the crew hadn't used the Dark and Light Ammunition until now, Harry had warned them, that these two elemental bullets were extremely powerful and could cause massive damage to the surrounding area.
It not a kind of Ammunition you should use inside a Ship or Space station, so no one had even tried them yet, but now that Shepard did, he could see why Harry warned them off about both Light and Dark Ammo.
One shoots a beam of concentrated light towards a target, nothing can stop the beam and it will pierce through anything, the Charge shot version of the Light Bullets is a massive beam of golden light that will devastate a big area in front of the shooter.
The other, when not charged would fire Dark bullets, that upon hitting the enemy, they will get stuck on their bodies and not only slow them down, but continuesly drain their of their life force.
The charged shot, fired a big black hole, that will travel through the air at a decent speed and pull everything in its path towards it core, where everything would be consume by the darkness.
However, Shepard was suddenly snapped out his thoughts when three rockets hit his cover, his Shields took the attack with ease, but destroyed his cover and Shepard found himself barraged with bullets from all sides.
He was inwardly, once again, very thankful for his armor, he would have died ten times over by now without it, but even with the Armor on, Shepard decidded to jump away and take over again.
As he did so, he called out to his Pistol "Ammo Swap! Wind Bullets!".
Shepard's Harry made Pistol shifted and then began to glow green, the Commander quickly took aim and fired his Pistol at the enemy, the gun made a swosh sound but nothing visible came out.
Or thats what anyone would think, but, Shepard's targets were mysteriously hit by something and torn apart, Shepard grinned as he quite like the Wind Ammunition.
This ammunition is meant for stealth and quick assassinations, a Wind Bullets does not only not make sound, but its also invisible, it is a vacum of wind that is fired after all, and to boot, it has high penetration power.
No one would see the shot coming, perfect for situations like this, in the chaos, Shepard can take shots from multiple anglee and kill his enemies before they know what hit him, while still being behind cover.
It also helps that the wind bullets burst on impact, causing expansive damage around the target, this means, that like a shotgun, the wind bullets can cause damage to anyone close to the enemy.
With a plan in mind and with the right ammo for the situation, Shepard grinned and then went on the attack, he would Swap from ammo from ammo as necessary.
But the versility of his gear was making a big difference in this simulation, it also helped that his armor's Shields were holding strong and he tanked shots from all sorts of enemies and weapons.
Ochren gaped as he saw Shepard bulldoze his way through his simulation and devastate everything in his path with a weapon that was doing some of the most amazing things he had ever seen, however, at some point he began to get warnings and errors on his screens.
Shepard was causing a lot of damage and Ochren was trying non-stop to keep the simulation going, but it was becoming harder and harder, Ochren was so distracted, that he didn't noticed Harry snapped his fingers.
Everything was fixed and reinforced to endure the power of Shepard's Harry made Pistol, thanks to Harry's control over the Concept of Reality.
As Harry made sure that Shepard wouldn't destroy the simulator, he couldn't help but smile as he saw the Commander try all kinds of Elemental Ammunition and their charge shot variants.
Shepard seemed to be rather fond of them and their effects, it made Harry feel proud of what he created for the crew, even if Ochren was cursing to high heaven as Shepard broke records again.
About a couple of hours later, Shepard was able to survive long enough for the scenario to end, even though Shepard could have gone on even longer, but he was satisfied with the results, he was able to see just what his armor and pistol can do and that was a very valuable experience.
So Shepard came out of the simulation with a smile and feeling very proud, both Harry and the Commander then headed to speak with Admiral Ahern.
Ahern immediately grinned at Shepard and he approached him "I never thought I'd see the day, good work, Shepard, really good".
Shepard smiled and gave the Admiral a nod "it was a great challenge, thanks for setting it up".
Ahern nodded to Shepard "makes me wish we'd had you during the First Contact War, could've saved a lot of human lives, and since I'm a man of my word, my retirement home is yours".
The Admiral then suddenly shook his head and chuckled "too bad, now I've seen you beat that scenario, I almost feel like I could retire".
Shepard raised an eyebrow at Admiral Ahern "are you serious?".
Admiral Ahern then grinned at Shepard and loudly said "hell, no, the day I retire is the day I die, enjoy that place, Shepard-- you earned it".
Shepard nodded and smiled "it's been a pleasure working with you, Admiral".
The Admiral nodded "likewise, and call me Ahern, you've earned that, too".
Both Shepard and Harry then said their goodbyes to Admiral Ahern and then went back to the Normandy, they had some fun and Harry cleaned up the Galaxy a bit, they deserved some rest.
When Shepard and Harry returned to the Normandy, they decided to call it a day and went to rest, as they went to their rooms to sleep, the Normandy began to receive reports about what happened to Khar'shan, the devastation of the Batarians and the returned of thousands of missing people.
These news shocked the crew of the Normandy and left them quite perplexed, though, most of the crew had a inkling of who might have made all of this happen, however most didn't care.
The Batarians were quite hated by the entire Galaxy and most didn't even bat an eye at the destruction of their homeworld and the deaths of many, no, the return of the missing people had everyone attention instead.
In any case, the Normandy and its crew eventually got over the events that happend throughout the Galaxy, after all, they had a far more important things to worry about, like stopping Saren.
That didn't mean, the rest of the Galaxy would forget or ignore all of this, but that's something that will begin to be seen in the upcoming days.
Eight hours of sleep and a good breakfast later.
Shepard decided to check the apartment he had won from Admiral Ahern, so he had Joker take him to the Planet known as Intai'sei, a Planet in the Phoenix System with an atmosphere similar to Earth's.
Once the Normandy docked, Shepard and Harry went to check the apartment out, it turned out to be a medium size place, a pretty modern apartment too and one that had a very beautiful view from the living room.
It was a very good Apartment and it made Shepard wondered just how much Ahern had to pay to get it, Harry looked around and smiled, he then sat in the living room and check out the TV.
Shepard walked over and sat beside Harry "this is a great place, I sort of feel bad for taking it from Ahern".
Harry grinned and shrugged "well, he put it on the line and you won, there's no need to feel bad".
Shepard nodded and leanded back on the couch, he looked up as he heard the TV in the background, though soon enough he began to speak "so, this morning I received an urgent report from the Alliance.
The Batarian homeworld, Khar'shan, has been destroyed, their system has suffered quite a bit of damage as well, in fact, it's sun is starting to act up, many think it's dying from damage.
Billions of Batarians are dead and many missing people have been returned, they're even received aid from a secret benefactor, one no one can find anything about...".
Harry hummed as he heard Shepard speak, the Commander then turned his head towards Harry and asked "it was you right?".
Harry nodded "yeah, I did it".
Shepard didn't say anything for a few seconds, but then just asked "Why?".
Harry frowned and looked up "the things I've seen in Talitha's mind were horrific Shepard, I've seen a lot of darkness and evil in the Multiverse, but what I saw in her memories? there's no excuse for that kind of heartless and vile actions.
What's worse, the Citadel didn't do anything about it, they knew, they were aware of what the Hegemony was doing and they turned away from it, they didn't want to deal with the problem, because it would be cheaper and more beneficial for slavery to continue on.
After all, money is money, as long as there was a flow of cash, the Citadel didn't care, it pissed me off, so I did something about it, I rescued every slave I could find, killed every slaver, and destroyed the Batarians.
No one else wanted to do something about it so I did, and I would do it all over again, because I would never allow anything like it happened to Talitha to happen to anyone else".
Both Shepard and Harry stayed silent as they leaned back on the couch for a few seconds, Shepard then spoke up "this won't mean the end of slavery, you know?".
Harry nodded "yes, but this also hurt them a lot, slavery is also going to be harder without the backing and money of the Batarians, I might have not been able to find them all and stop it entirely, but it will slow it down quite a lot".
Shepard nodded, he was glad Harry didn't go full apocalyptic towards the Galaxy, he was unsure of the chances of survival against him for everyone, and at least he didn't use his mysterious power to just killed them all.
He did what he could and then let the Galaxy deal with the aftermath, that was good enough for him "well, I've never been a fan of Batarians anyways, you know of my past with them, so you won't get any judgement from me Harry".
Harry smiled and nodded while still looking up at the cealing "thanks".
Shepard nodded and then began to explain "the Alliance wants me to investigate what happened and find out what's going on with the Batarians, but I think I'm just going pass over this mission request, I already know the answer".
Harry shrugged "you can inform the Alliance about what I've done and why, I don't much care of what they think about me, I'm pretty sure the Citadel Council know or at least suspect I'm involved as well, maybe they'll contact you later about it, so feel free to send them my way if they give you trouble".
Shepard chuckled and shook his head "I don't think they'll bother us, they're quite terrified of you Harry, there's also the fact that you destroyed a planet and damaged a whole System, I doubt they'll want to piss you off anytime soon".
Harry lightly laughed "who knows? you know how stupid a person can be sometimes"
Shepard couldn't agree more with Harry, this Galaxy was filled with idiots and fools, so he really shouldn't hold his breath, but at the very least the Galaxy won't have to worry about the Batarians anytime soon, if ever.
Harry and Shepard, spent sometime hanging out in Shepard's new apartment and checking everything, Harry even added some more furniture and even plants to Shepard's apartment as a homewarming gift, the plants were even enfused with Natural energy to make sure they wouldn't die.
But eventually, they decided to go back to the Normandy and get back to work, so as soon as Shepard and Harry boarded the Normandy, they headed to the Galaxy Map to chose what mission to take next.
However, as Shepard was choosing where to go, Joker suddenly called out via intercom "Commander, emergency incoming message, patching it through".
But Harry and Shepard immediately gave the messenger all of their attention "mayday mayday mayday, this is Lieutenant Marie Durand, 3-14th infantry, Alliance 10th Frontier Division.
The listening post had been overrun by unidentified hostile life forms, request immediate extraction".
Shepard immediately ordered the crew to scan and locate the origin of the message and to let him know as soon as possible, it didn't take long for the crew in the Normandy to locate the origin of the signal at the Erebus System, on a planet named Nepmos.
Shepard wasted no time in telling Joker to take them there, Joker immediately took off to Nepmo, while, both Shepard and Harry went to go get ready, for this mission Shepard took Wrex and Garrus with him, while Harry and Valerie would be going with them.
Joker soon arrived to Nepmos and dropped the Mako on the Planet's surface, Harry and Valerie dropped along side it and then sat on their spot on top of the Mako, Valerie looked around and smiled as she admire the gray and volcanic Planet.
Nepmos has a similar atmosphere to Earth and a yellow sun that shined brightly behind the many mountains and rocky cliffs, it was a very beautiful sight, one that made Valerie smile.
Harry smiled at his girlfriend and grabbed her hand as the Mako took off towards their target of investigation on this planet, it took a while to get to the spot signaled by their scanner, but they eventually made it.
Only for the group to be surprised to see quite a big number of Rachni attacking a small Alliance outpost, Marines were fighting back hard but it was evident that they were losing steam.
So Shepard immediately drove the Mako towards the Rachni, Harry and Valerie quickly jumped into battle, Harry summoned his Keyblades, while Valerie summoned Ivory and Ebony.
Both the Vampire Princess and Dragon God attacked the Rachni, the fighting Alliance Marines were surprised at first, but chose to ignore everything Harry and Valerie were doing in favor of attacking, this time morale began to rise so everyone shot back with everything they had
Wrex sat at the cannon and began to fire at the Rachni, while Garrus got on the side gun and began to shoot down Rachni "why are the Rachni here!".
Wrex grunted as he fired the cannon and blew a group of Rachni into smithereens "don't know! but I bet Saren has something to do with this!".
Shepard drove the Mako around the Rachni while gritting his teeth, there were a lot of them and he didn't want to get to close to the Rachni "less talking and more shooting!".
With the Alliance Marines, Harry, Valerie and the Mako's weapon, the swarm of Rachni was eventually stopped and everyone cheered in victory, Harry sighed and sent away Oblivion and Oathkeeper away.
Valerie did the same to her weapons and then looked around "so these are Rachni... Bugsy is not going to be happy when she hears about this".
Harru nodded "yeah, goddammit, I thought we dealt with all the berserk Rachni back in Noveria".
Valerie nodded, then they saw Shepard, Garrus and Wrex come out of the Mako and walked over to the Alliance Marines, no doubt, he's going to want to get answers and what best way to get them? than asking these Marines about what happened.
So both Harry and Valerie walked over to the squad to join them, they too were curious about what's going on here and wanted to here the answer Shepard would get.
Harry and Valerie arrived to Shepard's side as a woman began to speak with him while giving him a salute "First Lieutenant Durand, sir, third brigade, 14th infantry regiment, and I am damn glad to see you".
Shepard nodded to Durand "Shepard, Normandy, give me a sit-rep".
Durand sighed and quickly began to tell Shepard what he wanted to know "they dropped us here a few months back, we get supplies every couple of weeks, we didn't see anything local that was more dangerous than Lichen.
Yesterday, these animals started coming out of the ground, no idea where they're from, this is what's left of 90 men, I'm the ranking officer... ".
Harry looked around and frowned when only saw around 15 soldiers left "shit...".
Shepard noticed the same thing and he couldn't help but frown as well and began to think about solutions "we do have a Ship in orbit, we could bombard them".
Duran shook her head "it wouldn't do much good, they're moving around deep underground, the only time they come near the surface, and they're right on our position, you Bombard them, you take us out too".
Shepard nodded understanding the issue, so instead he decided to ask another question to Durand "why are you out here in the first place?".
Durand sighed and began to explain "there's been a lot of Pirate activity in this cluster, we set up a chain of listening post in the local systems, in case they have a staging base".
Shepard nodded, while Harry was happy to hear that the Alliance is trying to take care of Pirates, before they even have time to set up.
Shepard now having gotten some information he decided to explain to Durand, just what they have be5e fighting "they're not animals, they're sentient species, you study history? they're called Rachni".
Durand shook her head "never heard of them, can't say I care... what we just fought was a probe, our seismic sensors are picking up a crapload more on their way up from underground, we've got five minutes, tops.
We might be able to hold them off if we were at peak, but you can see the fighting's busted this place up".
Shepard sighed and crossed his arms, he then gazed at Harry, the Dragon Hod nodded at him, Shepard then came to a decision, so he nodded to Durand "do what you can to secure your position, we'll see if we can get some of your defenses operational".
Durand nodded and then saluted to Shepard "aye, aye Commander!".
And done!.
Alright! we had Shepard having some fun today, he's breaking records and making Ochren cry! he then proved a racist Turian wrong! but the asshole decided to run his mouth and Harry then used him as a mop.
He literally used him to wipe the whole Space station clean lol, he then beat the special simulation that Ahern made, and even got to test the limits of his Pistol and Armor in combat.
He ended uo winning an apartment for that XD, Shepard and Harry then had a conversation about Harry's actions, Shepard just wanted to check on him and ask questions.
He didn't really care about the Batarians either so he wasn't judging Harry either, the Normandy's crew also know or suspect Harry has destroyed Khar'shan, but they're all too busy to care.
Over all. the Batarians are dicks and almost no one cared about them, and to end things, Harry and company have found Rachni! but that's it for tonight, this Old Black Fox is sleepy now, so good night and see you all later.
