Kelly exited the lift and walked to the captain's door and hit the bell. The door slid opened and she entered. Jackal
"Commander," she called walking further in. "Commander?" she asked again looking around.
"Ahh that was nice," Zenna said as she exited the shower only wearing a pair of pants.
Kelly watched as the minotaur exited still wiping herself down of water. But in truth, it looked as if the commander had been working out as the water made her bronze skin shine. Zenna turned to look at Kelly who was focused on the minotaur's semi-naked body.
"Ah Kelly, time for my session?" she asked.
Kelly swallowed and gulp as her eyes were locked on the bulge in the commander's pants. Zenna looked down then up with a smile and walked up to the nekomata. That made Kelly jump and look up at the towering minotaur.
"See something you like?" Zenna asked her lip curling.
"Ah… no… but… well…" Kelly sputtered trying to fine the right words.
"Your smell," the minotaur moaned with a seductive sigh. "You want this,"
Kelly said nothing just spluttered with her words. The Commander then picked up the short Nekomata and locked lips with her. The two moaned as their tongues moved around each other. Kelly sighed as she let all her frustrations go, she hadn't had sex in a while, especially with a minotaur. Zenna walked over to the bed and tossed the nekomata onto it before moving up to the foot of the bed.
Kelly quickly removed her clothing and threw it on the floor while Zenna pulled her pants down letting her cock flop out. The yeoman moved along the bed to the foot and began to lick the minotaur's cock. Zenna moaned as she felt her cock harden and her hand cupped her breast.
Once fully erect, Kelly opened her mouth and slid the minotaur's cock in with a moan. She began to move up and down the shaft of the cock with ease. This wasn't the first time she had taken in a minotaurs member. Zenna gasped as she felt the nekomata move further down her shaft, feeling the tightness of Kelly's throat. Her head tilted back as pleasure filled her.
Something trickled down her breasts, she looked down and spotted milk leaking from her nipples. She pulled away; eyes widened. Kelly looked up and saw the milk run from Zenna's breasts.
"EDI, call Chakwas now," she said as she got up and helped Zenna to a seat.
"Get…." the minotaur tried to say, but cried out as her milk leaked even more.
Kelly ran up to the commander's desk and looked for a container. After finding one, she ran back up to the commander and held it against her lactating breast. A moment later Chackwas entered.
"Oh," she muttered seeing the problem and slithered up to the commander. "Let'sss get to work,"
OOOOO
Zenna walked into Miranda's office and locked the door behind. "Is this room soundproof?"
"Indeed, it is," Miranda said not looking up from her terminal.
"Good," the minotaur said before moving up and grabbing the golem by the collar and pressed her against the wall. "Now, what the fuck did you do to me?"
"Context needed," Miranda gasped.
"I don't lactate, yet I did," Zenna growled.
"I can explain," Miranda said and Zenna let go.
Miranda collapsed to the floor gasping for air. "Make it quick,"
"You body, suffered too much damage to be fully repaired," she stood slowly. "In fear of the virus activating again, we tried to fool it into thinking everything was alright. It sort of worked. We fooled one part of the virus, but the damaged part activated. We thought it didn't do any damage, but as it turns out… that was problematic,"
"Why am I not surprised," Zenna muttered. "This isn't over,"
Zenna unlocked the door and left and Miranda sighed. She sat down and wrote up a report about what just happened. Not for the first time
OOOOO
Shepard, Jacob and Miranda exited the Normandy only to meet a Salarian.
"Hey your new here, I can always tell…" he began to say, but a Batarian walked up to him.
"Oh, hello Moklen…" he tried to say but was pushed out of the way by the Batarian.
"Get out of here Farklet," he said before Turing to Zenna. "Aria is waiting for you Shepard,"
"Where is she?" Zenna asked not wanting to be on the asteroid for long.
"In afterlife," the Batarian said. "You cannot miss it, it's close to the docking port. Follow the sign posts," with that he left to attend to other business.
"Well, we know where we need to go first," Jacob said with Zenna nodding.
The three walked down the corridor and into the main lobby where they then spotted a yellow armoured merc who had cornered a Batarian. He walked over to him as he punched the Batarian's gut making him go down he looked at Shepard as she approached.
"Please help," he asked.
"No one said you can talk jackass," the merc said kicking the Batarian in a thick south African accent.
"So, you must be Zaeed," Shepard said.
The merc turned to face Zenna. "Yeah, that's me, you must be Commander Shepard then. Met some minotaurs before, but not as big as you," he muttered as he looked at her up and down.
"You want me to kill you?" Zenna growled.
The merc looked at her judging her before he waved dismissively. "Nah, Cerberus said that you're going after the Collectors you'll need all the help you can get. That reminds me did Cerberus talk about our deal?"
"No, they didn't," Shepard said as she took a sidewise glance at Miranda.
Zaeed rubbed the back of his neck. "Figures, there's a mining planet named Zorya it's been taken over by the Blue suns I've been contracted to take them out,"
"We can make room for that but expect delays," Kira said.
"I wasn't expecting anything less," he said as the Batarian then tied to make a run for it but Zaeed shot him in the making him go down. "See ya on the ship Shepard. "Zaees said walking up to the dead body and dragging it behind him.
Shepard Shrugged and continued to follow the signs for afterlife. She needed intel to find Mordin Solus and Archangel, maybe Aria could enlighten her to their location. They walked through to Afterlife despite the crowd at the entrance. As they entered the club loud music met their ears as they walked over to Aria's pedestal. Zenna went up the stairs and saw a purple Asari overlook her club. As Shepard approached, the guards raised their weapons.
"Not another step," Aria warned.
"Hold still while I scan you," the Batarian guard said as he began scanning the commander.
"If you're looking for weapons, you're not doing a good job," Zenna said bring up her pistol.
The Batarian's omni-tool beeped. "She's clean,"
Aria turned round and looked at Zenn with an interested eye. "Can't be too careful that could be anyone in that lovely skin of yours," Aria said.
"Given the bacteria, it's debateable and don't worry I won't fuck with you if you don't fuck with me," Zenna said making Aria smile and sit down on her couch
"So, what can I do for the dead Spectre hero?" she asked as she indicated for the minotaur to sit.
"I'm looking for two people," Shepard said as she sat. "The first is Mordin Solus,"
"The Salarian doctor? The last I heard he was trying to help plague victims in the quarantine zone. I always liked Mordin. He's as likely to heal you as he is shoot you,"
That peaked the commander's curiosity. "You know him?"
"He used to be a part of the Salarian STG," Aria said as if the thought amused her. "He came here to open a clinic,"
Zenna nodded. "And what's this about a plague?"
"A disease that kills everyone except for humans," Aria said as she took a sip of her drink. "I've ordered for the area to be under strict Quarantine. I can pass word down to let you in, if you are that desperate,"
"Thank you, but humans are immune?" the commander asked. "That's interesting,"
"Apparently. You can take a shuttle down to the quarantine zone," Aria took another sip. "Who is the second person?"
"Archangel," Zenna said flatly.
Aria shifted in her seat and her face expressed a mixture of anger, disgust and fear. "You and half of Omega,"
The minotaur's brow raised. "Half of Omega?"
Aria shifted slightly, and her smell became one of concern. "Archangel started up a vigilante corp. here on Omega. And it was... very successful,"
"Tell me about this group," the commander said, now interested in who this guy was.
"He started up operations here on Omega roughly two years ago and since then has been a pain in the ass for every slaver, drug runner, and mercenary group," she smiled. "He's reckless and idealistic. Though he hasn't come after me yet, so he's not a fool,"
"Well, I'm here to recruit Archangel," The commander said as she stood.
"Interesting. You'll make a lot of enemies siding with him. Blue Suns, Blood Pack and Eclipse are planning a coordinated assault on their home base. If you want to reach him, try going to the recruiting station down the stairs," Aria took another sip as she
"Thanks for the help," Shepard said turned.
"Let's see if you're still thankful once the mercenaries find out you're there to help out Archangel," the Queen of Omega added.
Zenna turned to face the Queen. "Mercenaries?" the minotaur's smile widened. "For me, that's breakfast," she said before turning and walking down the stairs to re-join Miranda and Jacob. "We'll go after Mordin first, but we need a car,"
The two nodded and all three of them walked out of the club.
OOOOO
As they got out of the car, the sounds of an argument could be heard. A human woman stood in front of one of Aria's guards. The quarantine area was marked off by a yellow holo field with the biohazard warning on it.
"Looks like something out of a movie," Jacob quipped as the three walked over.
"Humans can't get the plague now let me get my stuff before looters get it," a woman said.
"But it affects every other race out there and we're not taking chances," the guard said.
"I need to get to find Mordian Solus," Zenna said as she approached.
"The Salarian? Yeah, he's still there helping plague victims from what I've heard," the Guard said before looking at her up and down. "Wait you're the one Aria's said to let though, but why should I?"
Zenna shook her head. "Look you're going to stay here until everyone dies or the plague dies. And we don't know how long that will be let me in and I can deal with it for you,"
The Turrian scoffed. "You want to try and stop it? Why not, I'll radio ahead,"
"Thanks," Zenna said as she walked past but the woman was too pleased.
"Wait your letting them go in?" she asked.
"You don't have a grenade launcher lady," the guard answered.
Kira just shook her head as she drew her rifle ad walked in. They came to a barricade as two troopers popped up; weapons raised.
"Wait," one of them muttered. "They're cleared to go through,"
Zenna nodded as the three then made their way to the main Quarantine area. But before they went in, a hand stopped them. The thee of them turned to see an octopus demi-human standing next to the door, his eyes focused on the commander.
"You Chimera?" he asked and Zenna nodded. "Wear a mask," he then nodded to someone who seemed to be on their deathbed. "My friend is also a Chimera, he went in and came back infected,"
"So, it does infect humans, just a small portion of us," Zenna muttered and the mermaid nodded. "Thanks,"
The commander then grabbed the lower part of her helmet and attached it to her face. After securing it on, the three of them moved into the main quarantine area. They could hear voices up ahead, Zenna signalled to the other two to slow down. Pressing her back on the wall they slowly moved forward to see four Blue suns troopers throwing a body onto a fire. The commander signalled for Jacob to move up.
He moved to one of the platforms with burning bodies on, he had to cover his nose due to the smell of burned flesh. Miranda moved to the wall opposite Zenna and readied her biotics. Her veins began to glow blue as the Eezo in her system activated. The commander nodded as she came out of cover and opened fire at the Blue suns. That made them take cover, but Miranda used pull on two of the Suns bringing them towards her. She shot one in the face while grabbing the other one by the neck and broke it.
Jacob, however didn't manage to get up quick enough as he got a foot to the face as one of the Blue suns kicked him. He rolled back and drew his knife. The sun also drew a knife and readied himself. But his head exploded making the biotic blink. Zenna walked past him.
"Taking to long," she shot.
Jacob shook his head and slid his knife back in its sheath. The three regrouped a cough made them turn to see a battarian stumble into the area and collapse next to a plant. He was armed, but was in no shape to fight.
"Hey you ok?" Zeena said as she walked up
"Humans'..*cough* bad enough you infect us with this plague now you lack the decency to wait until I die to steal my positions," he shot.
Zenna shook her head and bent down. "Is there anything I can do."
"BACK AWAY!" he yelled waving his pistol around making Zenna back away a bit. "Your kind has already done too much already. Your plague did this to me. Your feigned pity is the final insult,"
"Human didn't create this plague," Zenna insisted. "It's been a long-time law of ours,"
"Lies drip from your mouth like blood drips from my sores. The proof is there for all to see. Your species is the only one that does not succumb to the virus. Yours, and the wrenched Vorcha," he said.
"What proof?" Zenna asked making him look to her. "You said that humans made this plague, what proof do you have of this?"
"You're immune to it," he shot.
"I'm not," the minotaur tapped her mask. "But then again I am a Chimera, but that doesn't prove that humans did it,"
"You are the only ones, the vorcha are scavengers," he spat.
"Soo is it unreasonable to think that they found a virus that didn't effect humans?" she asked. "Or that they bought it from someone,"
"You lie," he spluttered before coughing, badly.
He was going and Zenna couldn't stand by and do nothing. "Hey stay with me," she said as she activated her omni tool and administered some medi gel. "This won't stop the virus but it may help,"
The batarian started to stand. "You helped me. Why?"
"It's what I do, I don't know if I can find a cure but at the very least, I'm going to try," she said
"Your words *cough * sound …. sincere. Maybe it'd the fever but as you what have I got to lose? What do you wish to know?" he asked.
"Can you tell me where Mordin is?" she asked
"He's at the far side of the district," he answered
"I'll send someone here. Just stay put," Zenna said before continuing. "I know you think human did this, but think about it. Who would gain more? Humans who just want to live, or Vorcha,"
The batarian nodded and slummed back down to relax. The squad then moved through a corridor to see a Blue sun's barricade, Zenna threw a grenade and approached the barricade. As she got close the Blue Suns opened fired at her, but she reacted quickly and activated her shield. The rounds bounced harmlessly of her knight like shield as she approached getting closer and threw a high explosive grenade that toppled the structure.
The Blue suns who stood guard where now trapped under a pile of steel with their suits busted open allowing them to get infected with the airborne virus. Zenna walked ip to them and made sure they wouldn't be getting up anytime soon. With that done he three moved up to a double corner. The minotaur signalled for the other two to move on the bottom corner while she moved on top.
Miranda and Jacob took cover without drawing attention to themselves. Zenna positioned herself on the area above and pulled her grenade launcher up. She set it up to act like a mortar.
She tapped her comm. "I'll smoke them out," she said with getting a green light on her hud.
Zenna adjusted the launcher calculating the arc of the grenades and where they might land. Once she was satisfied, she pulled the trigger. The fist one took out three vorcha and one of the verren while the others were looking around trying to see where the shot came from. Zenna fired another grenade to disorient the blood pack.
Seeing their chance, Jacob and Miranda then popped out of cover and fired their respective weapons. Only 6 vorcha remained as Miranda charged out of cover firing her SMG in bursts. Her movement wasn't graceful like a cat, it was more robotic but still had an efficacy like a nekomata. She vaulted over a barricade and fired taking down two vorcha, rounds hitting their heads and outright killing them as another grenade blast took out three more.
One of them was armed with a flamer, but Jacob took care of that as he threw the vorcha into a wall. It exploded taking out a couple of verren. Miranda stood still and looked around, taking in the carnage.
"All dead we ca…" she tired to say, but one of the Vorcha stood quickly and grabbed her by the throat.
He lifted her up and snarled at her, but that quickly turned to choaking as she grabbed him by the throat and squeezed. He dropped Miranda who reacted by crushing the vorcha's neck and ripped it's off it's body with spine. The body fell backwards as she dropped the head. She just looked at the body emotionless as the other to joined up with her. Both looking a little green from what she did.
"Talk about a fatality," Zenna joked but got nothing out of Miranda.
"We are close," Miranda said as she turned and walked.
Zenna shrugged as they made their way round the counter and down a flight of stairs to Mordin's clinic. They enter to find the place full with both humans and non-humans with the latter keeping their distance from the former.
She walked up to the two doctors at the counter. "I'm looking for Mordin Solus,"
"He's in the back. We need all the help we can get," receptionist said.
As the squad moved around to the back of the clinic, they saw that there were more mech guards. A salarian was talking to himself, discussing various chemicals and delivery methods for the cure.
"Mordin Solus?" Zenna asked as she walked up.
Mordian took a scan on the commander before turning back to his work. "Human, minotaur. No, wearing mask, Chimera. Don't recognize you from area. Too well armed to be refugees. No mercenary uniform. Quarantine still in effect. Here for something else? Vorcha? Crew to clean them out? Unlikely. Vorcha a symptom, not a cause. The plague! Investigating possible use as a bioweapon. No, no. Too many guns, not enough data equipment. Soldier, not scientist. Hired guns? Maybe. Looking for someone? Yes, but who. Someone important. Valuable. Someone with secrets. Someone like me,"
Zenna looked towards Miranda who shared a look with the minotaur. "I'm Zenna Shepard, and I'm on a critical mission and I need your help,"
That made him perk up a bit. "What mission? No, too busy. Clinic understaffed. Plague spreading too fast. Who sent you?"
"Ever hear of an organization called Cerberus?" she asked.
"Crossed paths on occasion. Thought they only worked with humans," he muttered.
"We're tracking down the Collectors," Zenna clarified.
"Collectors?" he muttered with a look of interest. "Interesting. Plague hitting these slums is engineered. Collectors one of few groups with technology to design it. Our goals may be similar. But must stop plague first. Already have cure. Need to distribute it at environment control centre. Vorcha guarding it. Need to kill them,"
Before anyone could say anything, the ventilation in the room shut off. "Environmental systems down?" Miranda complained. "Why can't things be simple?"
"The vorcha have shut down environmental systems. Trying to kill everyone. Need to get power back on before everyone suffocates. Here take plague cure. One more thing. Daniel, one of my assistants. Went into Vorcha territory. Looking for victims. Hasn't come back," the way he said it made it should like a request.
Zenna nodded. "I can't promise anything, but if I see him, I'll do what I can,"
"Thank you. Told him not to go. But he's smart. Bright future. I hope," he said as he scanned her with his omni-tool. "Chimera vulnerable to plague, cure doesn't work. However, have reinforced system to prevent infection," he then handed her a modified human mask.
"Thanks," Zenna said as she held her breath and pulled off her mask before fitting the new one on. "Let's move,"
Miranda took Mordin's cure and put them into a bag before she slung it over her shoulder. The three then left the clinic. They made their way up a flight of stairs, but as they made it to the top they came under fire almost immediately. Zenna mentally groaned in annoyance as she drew her grenade launcher. She left cover fire fired it twice taking out at least four of the vorcha and one of the krogan's who was there before she went back into cover.
Some of the vorcha tried to flack around the side. Miranda reacted and left cover fast firing her smg constantly forcing them back. She took cover once again, she glanced over at Zenna who just fired a concussive round sending a Krogan on its back before setting it on fire with a few rounds. Smiling she took out a flame vorcha which blew and killed several vorcha around him.
The three then moved up to another pillar before checking the area they then heard shouting. "Please... I'm telling you the truth. I work for Mordin at the clinic. I came here to help you,"
A batarian held Daniel up by the collar. "We know you're spreading the plague virus. We saw the vials in your bag,"
"No! Those vials contain the cure. Please... you have to believe me," she said quickly trying to prevent the slave loving aliens from killing him.
"Maybe we should cut off your fingers. That should loosen your-" the lead said before the door opened and Zenna came out holding her rifle.
"Look out!" shouted one of the other batarians in the back as he drew his assault rifle.
"Don't move! One more step and we kill your friend," he warned.
"I know you're scared. Of the vorcha. Of the plague. But this man isn't to blame. If he was spreading the virus, why would he come into vorcha territory? They're immune," Zenna said as she lowered her weapon.
One of the batarians blinked. "She's right. It doesn't make any sense," he said.
The lead considered what Zenna had said. "If we release the prisoner, will you let us go?"
"Yes," Zenna agreed.
"Let him go," said the leader as he lowered his weapons and batarians left the room. "Human nobility. I didn't know such a thing existed," he muttered as he left.
"Thank you," Daniel said as he slowly recovered. "I thought they were going to kill me. Did Mordin send you to find me?"
Miranda nodded. "The professor needs help back at the clinic. He has too much work and not enough volunteers. Poor efficiency,"
"Yeah, ok. I'll go right away. I owe you... well... everything," he said before moving off.
As Daniel left, the three entered the main life support area. A vorcha tied to approach them but Zenna blew his head off.
"Move, secure the vent's," Zenna ordered as she pulled out her grenade launcher and used it like a mortar again.
