15. Chapter 15

Aboard the Phoenix Starship Enterprise, Jupiter orbit, Sol System.

Shepard is abroad Enterprise waiting for the Director to hail them for their next move. With Karin Joining her crew she now has the Solider element of her group, Sara her infiltrator, Aubree her sniper, Jack her new tech. The only thing bothering her is simply they are all human, Shepard for so long had a mixed team of Turians, Quarians, Asri, and Salarians, this is a new old feeling from when she first started out in the Alliance.

"Commander, the Director would like to have a word with you." DAN chimed as Shepard placed the data pad she was looking at on her desk.

"Thank you tell her I will be there shortly." Stated Shepard as she made her way out of her cabin. Shepard moved to her elevator as he made her way down to the CIC. As the doors open to the CIC she finds Jack at his station, even now she can't believe this yeoman is a high end tech, who is starting to put Tali to shame. As Shepard thinks she is walking to the war room aboard the Enterprise. As she makes her way to the QEC she spots Karin going over some dingos tics of some sort, this had her intrigued.

"What you looking at Karin." Asked Shepard as Karin looks up to see Shepard walking over to the QEC.

"Just some security protocols, was the chief of security at Fort Worth before I went to Chicago." Stated Karin as Shepard passed her on her way to the QEC she just nods to Karin as she walked up the short steps to the QEC. As Shepard punches in a few holographic buttons the Director hologram appeared.

"Shepard I hope your trip to Earth was productive." The director stated as Shepard looked at the hologram.

"Yes, if I'm going to go after the Alliance I'm going to need the best...and since most of those I know will not truly help me I need to find them. People who have been betrayed. I just picked up the Guardian of Chicago that in itself is a blow to Hackett and the PM." Stated Shepard as the director absorbed what Shepard is saying but is un phased by the new information.

"At lest Hackett anyway commander, still this is more then what we had in a while now." Stated the director.

"Just thought you would like to hear it from me, ma'am."

"That's fine commander as long as you can trust the ones you recruit I will be fine with it." Stated the director as she looks to Shepard.

"The Quarians are willing to talk but only to you. They are seeing the ways of Phoenix at lest we think Shepard. This includes your old teammate Tali'Zorah. If we can get the Quarians and the Geth to side with us it will be a major coup for us we would cut over 56% of the ships available to the United Galaxy and the Alliance. I want you to personally go and try to negotiate with them. But be cautious of the Alliance they may try and use this to get to you." Stated the Director as Shepard remains stunned by what she has just been told.

"Do you believe in the Intelligence," Asked Shepard not believing this.

"No...but it's an opportunity we can not afford to ignore at all. Head to Rannoch talk to the Speaker of the conclave and the Admiralty board convince them to aid Phoenix. Do I make my self clear commander." Ordered the director.

"Yes ma'am we'll get it done." Answered Shepard as the director hologram cut connection.
