Normandy SR2 Hangar Bay (Ben section in the corner)
"Ben, Ben, Ben" Ben hears Kevin voice fades in the background, but another voice appears "BEN!" Ben eyes shot up, then his whole body, waking up Ship in the process "ship" .Clearly ship was not a morning person. Blurry at first, but the Outline resembles.
"Jacob?" Jacob Nod "Yeah kid, you wanted a tour of the place"
Ben moans "ah right sorry wanted to get some R&R."
Jacob Smiles "no worries kid, I understand. Sometimes it good to get some R&R. Though why in the Hangar Bay I have no idea." Ben set up was just a simple workstation and some cloth hanging around to make it look snazzy and private. It also just left coming out of the elevator doors.
Ben shrugs "I like the cold" Jacob gives him a weird look "if you say so. Come on I show you and ship around the…."
Ship interrupt "Ship…" Jacob smirks "yes that. Come on" And so, ship on ben shoulder takes a tour around the ship called the Normandy SR2. They start with the engineering deck, meeting Ken and Gabby. Then the crew deck meeting Gardner and his Lovely food. Ben also got to meet Chalkwas, who help healed him. So Ben Thanked her, but she shrugged it off telling Ben it her Job. Then They made to the Galaxy map, meeting Kelly Chambers. Though Ben was on the fence about her. So finally They made to.
Normandy SR2 Bridge
Jacob with Ben and ship in tow "Finally the Bridge where, The oh serious loving pilot called Joker pilots this bad…"
Joker Turning around in his leather seat, that Joker for some constant reason loves to talk about interrupts "Girl, this ship is my Baby 2 point 0"
Ben thoughts process was "okay first get a white cat I have a feeling you have that vibe about you" Joker smirks at the Humor. Jacob just sighs " Don't give him ideas" Joker Chims in "too late, ordering evil cat from the web, right now. Murhahahahaha" Ben Smirks but continues " second 2 point 0. What happened to 1." Both Jacob and Joker look at each other. Joker Answers but with heavy hesitations "Well it got destroyed by the collectors. Enough said"
Ben Shrugs "Fair. Hey if you want I could use Upgrade when we in a firefight too…" But before he could finish EDI Chims in " A good idea, our output would Increase by 75%". Jacob Chims in "Really this upgrade can really upgrade, anything to be more powerful."
Ben smiles "and you must be EDI and to answer your question Jacob yes Upgrade can do that. Did you not seen the footage of me"
Jokes comes in hear "Yes we seen it, and no you not touching it. My girl just perfect thank you very much." Jokes continues sarcastically "though I wonder, how is it that you can turn into cool aliens, while we get stuck with guns, not that I am complaining or anything"
EDI in her deplaned voice "Jeff your complaining" Joker huffs "Shut up"
Ben snickers "I guessing, you're the serous one in the flight academy" Ben pulls out his hand to shakes joker
Joker smirks Back "of course that jokey banter have to come from somewhere" and proceed to shake his hand.
Kasumi Uncloaks "Nice. can I join in this friendship going on" Everyone except EDI Jumps "gahaaaaa" Jacob nearly shouting "Don't do that!" Kasumi Grins " AH now where the fun in that"
Joker, and Ben Look at each other "welcome, Kasumi, the more the Merrier." They all Smirk Jacob shivered at that.
"Ship Ship" "Oh right Joker, EDI. Meet Ship" "Ship, ship" Ship jumps for joy for meeting new people.
EDI deplaned voice "Hello Ship" Joker on the another hand " Hello Circuit Boy" Everyone just stares at him "What"
Normandy SR2 Armory
So the three started talking to themselves. Jacob Smiles, says his goodbyes and heads back to the Armory, but as he does that. Using his Omni-tool " Miranda, you got a minute" Miranda Picks up "Sure what do you need Jacob?"
Jacob instantly goes "Ben, joker and Kasumi just became friends" You can't see it but Miranda shivers on the other side of that call. "Thanks for the heads up Jacob" Then she cuts the call. Jacob smiles. Knowing what to come for the crew of the Normandy.
Normandy SR2, Miranda First officer quarters
A few hours before the tour.
"So these creatures are aliens?" The illusive man ask like it more of a statement than a question
Miranda Nods, sighing "Yes Sir, but certainly not any aliens I have ever seen"
The illusive man puffing out his smoke " could they be from the Andromeda Galaxy?"
Miranda shakes her head sideways " No I don't think so, and there no evidence to back it up either. I also don't believe, he join Cerberus"
The illusive man stands up from his seat "Shame, but no matter, we always get what we want" Then turns around at the bright saturated sun.
Miranda was about to say something but stop, realising the illusive man, even after watching footage of Ben and trying to understand him. That he does not understand him, Realising herself that she does not know much about Ben. No one does.
The illusive man looking back sideways "That is all, I do believe you got a mission to prepare" Miranda Nod and the communication was cut. "Dam, my job just got harder"
Her Omni-tool Lights up. On the other end is Jacob. " Miranda, you got a minute". Thinking about it she nods to herself "Sure what do you need Jacob?" "Ben, joker and Kasumi just became friends" Miranda shivers at the thought of 2 man children and one Thief Child becoming friends. "Thanks for the heads up Jacob" Then she cuts the call. " I hate you Benjamin Tennyson"
Coms open up "Miranda we approaching Illum, get Ben and Kasumi to the Airlock, for prep" Shepard voiced over the com.
Miranda Nods "understand commander," Then she heads out the Door towards the bridge. As she does she gets stop "Hey cheerleader"
Miranda turns left to see Jack "What do you want jack?" Jack turns to look at her while leaning against the war. Arms folded across. "it that Tennyson kid, I thought you like to know, coming from a mass criminal. That the kid got someone killed or they got killed and he could not do anything about it. Man I don't know I am not good about talking about emotion"
Miranda Eyebrows raised "How can you tell?"
Jack shrugs "When your someone like me, you can tell who insane and not, but also the look in his eyes. They where the eyes of regret, sorrow, death."
Miranda thinks about what jack just said. It makes sense to a certain degree. "Why are you telling me this. it sounds like you want to help me?"
Jack shrugs again "Cheerleader, not everything not about you, but I figure since you in charge of the Kid, I tell you, what I seen. Anyway see ya" Miranda Notices that she has not got her usual scowl on her face when talking to me. "Thanks Jack" Jack doesn't look back but does give the two finger salute.
Normandy SR2 Bridge
"your Shitting me" Joker exclaims
Miranda who just about to head up to the Bridge hears, through the echoes of the 3 conversation.
Ben retorts "I shit you not. One of my Aliens Gave birth to smaller aliens"
Kasumi giggles "I bet they cute looking"
Ben snorts "they look like Big Chill, nothing about is cute. Well over than the fact that they my kids"
Miranda makes a mental note, back at her Data pad Ben created for her, "Big chill is a Necrofriggian a ghost like alien with ice powers, and intangible too. Also they very anti-social beings. hmm if Ben gave Birth to these little creatures as Big Chill, then maybe the personalities cross over into transformation. Hmm interesting." Miranda thinking out of her thoughts. She mutters to herself, "need to get going"
She walks up, all three including ship turn to her " Kasumi, Benjamin, we got a mission lets go" she said that last one with some stern in her voice.
Ben narrows his "it Ben" Miranda, Joker and Kasumi Smirk. Miranda responds "Behave like a child, get treated like one" Ben eyes Narrows "fine Princess, Hey ship come on boy"
Miranda shakes her head "ship not coming. We going to a planet where it legal to steal someone properties, with documentations"
Ben Blanches "Seriously" Kasumi Nods "yeah sorry Ben, But Illum just a posh version of crime city"
Joker adds on "hey I can look after ship if you want, you know to keep the crew in check and all"
Miranda in a instant "NO!" 'coughs "it is best he go to the Morden" Ben Sighs "Sorry Joker but can't ignore the princess orders" Ben added a smirk in the end. Joker Smirks Back "oh of course your majesty, who are we to ignore such wise advise from someone such as yourself" Kasumi straight up laugh at Miranda Face.
Miranda scowls at the mockery "Morden Now!" Ben Shrug "cool. let go Ship. See ya joker" "ship, ship" "see ya Ben" As Ben turns to leave for the lab, "let go Kasumi" Miranda leaves with Kasumi following Miranda but not before "See ya later Joker". Joker Smirks "See your later Kasumi and princess"
Miranda Scowls and walk faster away to the Airlock door. Kasumi just coming behind her "You enjoyed that more than you care to admit" Kasumi Jib
Miranda Blushes and Hashes back "I did not…" and the Airlock door closes.
Normandy SR2 Lab
Ben shouts out "Hey Morden you hear"
Morden comes out the from terminal "Ah Ben, here to talk about your Omnitrix and Aliens?"
Ben eyebrows went up, "Rumor mill that quick huh"
Morden Nods "yes. Was not sure to believe till now" Ben nods and continues "Sorry Doc, but after my mission we can talk about my aliens. Can you look after ship for me, Princess suggested it." "ship"
Morden three finger hands reach for his amphibian chin, Clearly thinking " Very well, with permission, I like to run test on Ship. While I care for ship" "Shiip" Ship said nervously
Ben Pats Ship on the head "Don't worry they not evasive, they not are they?" Morden Smiles "no just want examples and DNA, run some Diagnostics, so if ship ever injured" Ben Nods and smiles " It be fine ship, trust me to trust Morden" Ship looks back and forth "ship" nods in agreement. Then he jumps on the lab table"
Morden happy " Excellent must get back to work speak to you soon Ben" Ben Nods and heads to the Airlock "See you Ship, Morden"
Normandy SR2 Airlock
Miranda Scowls and shouts at "Shepard"
Shepard smirks looks at Miranda "something wrong Miranda"
Miranda gave Shepard a funny look "Joker, Kasumi and Ben just had a friendly conversation"
Kasumi chims in "it was friendly, don't worry no pranks where made, yet" They was an emphasis on the 'yet'
Shepard Smirks. The Door opens up. It Ben "Hey guys" Wearing is Iconic jacket
Shepard looks over at Ben up and down. Then frowns, "we need to get you some Armor and a omni-tool " Ben Moans "Omni-tool I get but Armour"
Shepard puts his hand on Ben shoulder " It to protect if you ever get shot outside of your transformation. Don't won't you dying on us do we"
Ben shrugs but also pouts "Fine, can I least customs it" Shepard Nods "Sweet" Tali and Kasumi Giggles. Grunt just groans. Miranda Scowls "You're a Bloody Child, Benjamin"
Ben Scowls back "If you say so Princess. There nothing wrong with having fun" Miranda was about to retort but Shepard puts his hand on her shoulder and smirks "Come on Miranda, you can help finalised the logistic of the twin mission" Miranda breaths and then nods "Yes commander" Both head in the shuttle.
Tali comment "Well that awkward" Kasumi Grins "really what gave that away" Then the both join Shepard and Miranda in the shuttle.
Ben shrugs then joins the rest. Grunt, just grunts and also joins but not without "hehhehehe"
Illum Dock
As the leave the Normandy the approach by an Asari " Hello Commander Shepard, your docking wavers and been paid. Your clear to explore Illum to fullest degree." Shepard right eyebrow rose slightly "And this was paid by?" Asari "Dr T-Soni Commander. She is waiting for you at her office, I just sent you her office detail in your omni tool"
Commander Shepard Nods "thanks"
Asari "No Problem commander. have a pleasant time here on Illum" The Asari moves off to the side.
Shepard turns to the crew "Okay, Grunt, Kasumi Help out Ben with the Amour and the Omni-Tool, than meets us back at the administration office, outside specificality Liara office. Oh and Kasumi use this identification number, you can only use for Ben equipment, so no thieving." all Three nod, Kasumi Pouts and They start heading off to the markets.
Shepard nods then looks at Tali and Miranda "lets go speak to Liara" Both nod, Tali more so, she missed her old friend.
Illum Market
"So what type of Armor should I get" Kasumi Thinks about " something Medium, so you can run around but also take fire if the situation calls for it. That way you can use your watch without hassle" Ben Nods
Grunt, grunts " Should get Heavy armor, you humans are squishy. Heh" Kasumi Smiles "Your not thinking of squishing humans now are you grunt"
Grunt makes a noise a unrecognized noise "what No Woman, I was Joking" Ben hums "You Joke" Grunt Scowls "Humans are annoying" Both Kasumi and Ben smirk, "We know" They said at the same time.
Grunt sees a store as they walking "Here you should get good armor, for that squishy body yours humans have" Kasumi nods "this is a good place and has Omni-tools as well. Hmm We have to see if the Omni-tool appears when you transformed" Ben shrugs not really thinking about "if not, it no big deal, we just get Morden to work on it, or better Tali." Kasmui nods "Why not both. you did say you going to have a chat with Morden and bring tail along with you" Ben Nods agreeing with her.
The Store clerk appears, who is an asari "Hello What can I help you three for" Kasumi comes in here "Hello there My friend here would like an Omni-tool and some customizable armor if possible, preferably Medium, armor" she stops.
The Store clerk Nod looking at Ben and showing a selection of Omni-tools Ben Picks Kassa Fabrication model. The Store clerk Smiles a "Good choice Especially for your build"
The Store clerk continues "Now customizable armor is expensive" Kasumi comes in "Here My Commander gave me this to pay the tab" Her Omni-tool Lights up Handing over the code. The Store clerk nods "yes that should cover both. Now here the list of armors we have, then we change it to match how you want it to look. It will take a couple of hours to do so. So I recommend heading off to the bar to wait"
Ben Nodding Now looking at the list of armors and picks the Hahne-Kedar Shadow Works make. The Store clerk, "that good piece of armour there, now how do you want it to look" Ben Smirks
A few moments later.
Illum Bar
Kasumi Laughing. Grunt chuckling at the assumed asari face. Ben still smirking. They paid and off they go to the bar to wait till the armor ready. Kasumi jumps in I can't believe that you went with that design"
Ben shrugs but still smirking his ass off "What I do believe that I look good in Green" Kasumi just Smirks walking towards the table in the bar. As they sit they hear a voice, "Hey get the Owner, I know you are selling Red Sand here illegally" Both Ben and Kasumi look at the noise.
Ben just looks over "what Red Sand?"
Kasumi Answers While grunt, trying to adjust himself in the chair. " it a drug, a drug that legal to sell here with a license." She said that last bit louder to get the blond dude to shut up. The bartender shouts Back " thank you" in a grouchy voice. Ben eyes shot up "Really?" Kasumi Just nods "Dam" Ben mutters.
"Hey I know Commander Shepard and here would of put a Stop towards it" Now all Three heads turn. Ben just stares "I call him, and I might as well try my omni-tool" Kasumi nods "Here his number." Ben Calls up Shepard Number with what Kasumi provided
Illum administration office above the trade floor
"Thanks Liara for the information" Shepard says strained. Liara smiles also but you can tell it just as strained as his. "No problem Shepard and thank you for help with the terminals, hopefully my next assistant will be as Gentle."
Shepard Smirk "I doubt it with the training you had, there nothing you can stop" Liara just smiles. Miranda in the background just looks at the conversation and it got her wondering. Tali juts gushing over the fact that both Shepard and Liara are at least talking to each other.
All faces drop when Shepard's Omni-tool Beeps. "I don't recognize that number, it must be Ben" He answers "Ben Glad to see you got your Omni-tool but you did call at a bad time" Liara Waves him off "it fine John"
Ben first respond was "wait your first name John!" Shepard Scowls "I don't like to talk about it" Miranda smirks in the background. Liara the same, though in a more I know something you don't know smirk.
Shepard just hums "Well what is it Ben" "oh right there a guy here, who claims he knows you. Blond hair, wearing the same armor as you but older from the looks of things and oh he just shouted his name out loud like an idiot, he call himself Conrad Vernon."
Liara and Tali are laughing hysterically now because of Shepard scowl face. "oh John I have not had a good laugh like that for a long time, thank you Ben" Liara says still laughing. Ben "Ben Retorts "you welcome, whoever you are" Liara smirks. "I think you should see to your fan problem John"
Shepard Nods "Alright Ben we on are way, by the way where are you?" "At the Bar" Miranda scowls again "Your meant to be buying your armor" Ben retorts back Angrily "I did Princess. the lady at the store said it be a couple hours before it finished, so we decided to wait out at the bar before it finished. Apparently I am using a lot of green"
Miranda Blinks "Oh my apologies" Ben Retorts "Whatever. anyway I wait for you at the bar" Then he cuts the call.
Liara looks at Miranda, eying her motions "It seems this Ben Character is someone unique," Shepard snorts "Oh you have no Idea Liara. Anyway lets go before Kasumi robs the Joint" They about to leave the office when Liara shouts out. "Let me know when you have that Intel John, I need to save Feron" John looks back nodding, not showing the jealousy but know they just friends and need to be professional about. Then leaves with his squad to.
