Normandy SR2 Conference Room/Meeting Room.

"Samara, Thane. Welcome to the Normandy" Shepard welcomes in open arms. Samara Nods "I thank you for the wonderful welcome, and I am looking forward to test my skills against the collectors" Thane Nods also.

"I agree. I am also looking forward to working with you, and with Benjamin. He reminds me of me a bit Lonely and sad" Thane Said with Emphasis.

Shepard Right eyebrow nearly touches his hair. "You understand Ben?" He said more of a statement of fact than a question. Jacob who was there, look at Sheperd, They nod at each other.

Shepard looks back at Thane and Samara. With a serious expression "what I am about to tell, is something that even I don't or in fact Morden understands?" Samara Rises her eyebrow and nods curiously. Thane figures it related to his transformation so nods also.

Shepard. Using EDI, Hologram shows the video, relating on horizon, The hangar bay, and illum. All about Ben Fighting and transformation. Samara Chims in first "He impressive, He fights to protect, and is always guarded. It similar to a Justicar and how we protect are young Asari" Thane adds "He also uses, Emotion as a weapon making jokes in battle, making his Opponent underestimate him. It happen Twice, one against Miranda and the second against that Krogan. It gives him an advantage" Samara Agrees "But they also sadness when he fights, it almost he living his second life, fighting with people he does not understand or wants to understand"

Thane agrees with that assessment "He clearly lost someone, and is trying to keep a distance"
Jacob comes in here "Well it not working half the crew love him the other half are spying on him, in which Ben knows about."

Thane looks at Shepard " I'm guessing The illusive man not happy about that." Shepard Nods "No and This is the one thing me and Miranda agree on. Is that Ben will never join Cerberus and even with the illusive man influence, he cannot gain access to the power that Ben wields. But he trying and Miranda sees it a lost cause for Cerberus. Miranda Even stated that she does think the Illusive man should not have that power and make Ben a Neutral ally, than an enemy"

Jacob quips "And that saying something. Miranda a die-hard Cerberus fan, Everyone in Cerberus knows That, and anything to boost Cerberus she gets but here not so much."

Everyone nods at that. "Well, thank you for your insight on that matter, now we should see about getting to your Rooms" Again Everyone nods and leaves.

Normandy SR2 Lab

"and that doc Is less than half my aliens you got DNA from." Ben Stated Right now. Both Ben and Morden went through Four Arms, Water Hazard, Artiguana, Spitter, Stinkfly, TenTen, GreyMatter, Brainstorm and many more. Morden nods "Impressive. I quite like greymatter out of your selection." Ben smirk at that. "Ship ship" trying to argue that other aliens are better.

Tali Analysing the Data of the Omnitrix which she had to get ben permission to get as the scanner where being scramble by said watch. Ben just configure the settings to allow her. "The mechanism on your watch is very detailed, How it can contain that many DNA structures in a small watch but is very vast and quiet confusing."

Miranda also looking over the Mechanics of the Omnitrix as well as Chromostone that Ben used "I'm more impressed by dumb luck you pulled back there on the mission. You could of died!"

Ben shrugs "I'm fine, Woozy but fine" Ship rubbing his head by Ben neck to comfort him Miranda shakes her head with hand to forehead "Next time you pull a stunt like, inform me a head on time got"

Ben looks at Her "why so your precious Illusive man can have his prize" He said with such drawl. Miranda not scowling at that "No!. Because I don't won't it in the hands of the illusive man".

Everyone looks at her. Tali blinks "Really?" Miranda Nods "it one of the few things I agree with Shepard, you won't join Cerberus, and while our research is not strictly "ethical"" Everyone snorts "I doubt Cerberus would last long when you find out we been experiment on your or the Alien DNA. you would have the power to track us down and then procced to take us down. My position is to keep you more as an ally than being your enemy"

Ben Blink then Blink again "Urm wow, thanks Princess and sorry for you know treating like your royalty. Even though you do at like that" Miranda rolls her eyes. "It Fine Benjamin, I'm used till petty insults and many other sexist comments". Ben Eyes flare up " Wow that rude, im think you quite pretty and any man or women who says shit like that should be talk a lesson." Miranda Smiles at that with a hint of a blush coming. It was interrupted by Morden.

"Fascinating" Everyone looks at Morden "what fascinating" Tali ask inquisitively "I was given a pad on one of Ben Aliens called Alien X, while you're on the mission, I was reading through it when I saw a page about. Thoughts become reality. Ben you know what this single line means" Ben blanches at that. Miranda Notices "What, do you not have control over that Alien?"

Ben Shakes his head opens up his Omni-tool, "Shepard can you come to the Lab Please, pretty please with Cherries on top" The hurmer drawling out of his voice. "I'm on my way"

A few minutes later

"So what did you need Ben" Shepard ask with a raised eyebrow "What I am about to tell you can not be told, not even to your close friends" Ben said quickly. Everyone shot eyebrows up. Tali Nodded. Miranda using her omni-tool turns off the Cameras in the lab. Placed they by the illusive man.

"Alien X is what is called a Celestialsapien" Miranda Blanches at the species name connation. Morden Hums to himself. "They have the power to make my thoughts become reality, just by flicking my finger" Now everyone Blanchers. Though Morden nods figuring that was the case. Miranda ask serous "Please tell me you locked that Alein away" Ben nods "I have to get through five levels of security to use him. I only used if the needs are dire"

Miranda nods "Good. If the illusive man gets that" Shepards finishes "all Hell will break use" Ben Laughs. Along with Ship. Tali ask "what funny Ben, if that" Ben Puts his hands up " the one problem with using that Alien is I will have to have an debated with two other voices, in which we make a motion to decide the action of the alien"

Morden Chims in nodding "Ah Voting system. Prevent too many problems" Ben nods "pretty much. I also pretty sure the reason you got that data, is to help Shepard against the reapers" Everyone relaxes at that. Miranda Especially "good don't won't your ego getting bigger than it already is Benjamin" Says Jokingly to relive the tension. Ben Laugh at that.

Shepard and looks at Ben. Nods "We use it as a last resort if need be, but for now keep locked up." Ben Nods agreeing.

A few moments past and everyone heads back to there station. Shepard was called in a meeting with the illusive man. Miranda had paper work to file. Tali had Cyclone shields to install with the help of Kennith and Gabby. Morden sorts out his research old and new. Ben and ship, go to grab some Food

Normandy SR2 Conference Room/Meeting Room.

"Are we shall about this?" Shepard ask the illusive man.

"we never been more sure about this Shepard. The Information aboard that collector ship is invaluable and it one step closer to stopping the collectors" The illusive man elaborated

Shepard Nod though not happy, considering where this information comes from. A Turien Frigate, in The terminus space and fighting the collector ship a hell of a coincidence. "I get right on it"

The illusive man puffing out his smoke and nodding " see that you do, this could be a valuable asset for us" Puffs out another smoke and cuts the comms

Shepard shakes his head "Joker head to the coordinates" "Aye Aye" Joker said over the comes.

Normandy SR2 Mess hall

"Arh man Gardner, I love the Chilli fries man" Ben smiles at his faviroute meal. Gardner Smiles back "You welcome Ben. If Shepard did not get those supplies," Ben retorts "I hear you man"

"Ah Ben I was hoping to find you here" Ben Turns and sees "Shepard What can I do you for?" Shepard proceeds to sit opposite of Ben in the Mess Hall table. "I am going on a mission to the collector Ship, that appeared on Horizon"

Ben Blink while eating his fries. "The same one I blasted?. And you want me to?" Shepeard continues "I need you to go solo separately, while my squad deals with, the main mission. You need to gather data of any kind to find out, where the attack is next or where if you can free any humans. I can't because I need info on how to stop them and where the home is."

Ben nods and looks at Ship napping "I can do that. And I won't need to use your shuttle as I have ship here" Shepard Nods "good, I call you when we close and I meet you in the Hangar bay" Then Shepard proceeds to leave. Ben proceeds to eat his Chilli fries, When.

"What did the commander want" Ben groan "Hello Princess and no I won't share my Chili fries" Miranda shakes her head and proceeds to sit next to Ben "Good I don't want to eat that filth" Ben looked jokingly disgusted by that comment "How dare Chili fries are the best".

Miranda Eyes roll "Now stop diverting what did the commander want" Ben Groans "You know it no fun when you see through my act" Miranda Smiles "I know Benjamin" "Shepard wants me to do a Solo mission on the Collector Base Separately from the rest of the squad. While he busy getting information on how to defeat the collectors, my job to secure any other intel like Colonies targets, human captives that sort of thing." Ben Informs.

Miranda thinks about that "It risky" "But I have done it before, I just stick to two aliens, Big chill and Brainstorm" Ben informs again. Miranda nods agreeing with that "keeping it limited, never knew you had a Brain in the Benjamin" she smiles.

Ben chokes on his fries "Rude" "and disgusting, Get clean up. I assume you're using ship" Miranda asks. Ben nods. "You need an operator to make things run smoothly" Miranda claims.

"I Be fine Princess." Miranda shakes her head in annoyance "it not a matter of you being fine Benjamin, you can't do everything on your own" Ben looks at her, Mutters "Fine"

Miranda Smiles "You realised I was not asking for your permission, right I'm am coming weather you like it or not" Then proceeds to walk after Shepard.

"Girls are scary" Ben mutters. "Ship Ship" not agreeing in the slightest. Ben looks at ship "When where you awake?" "Ship ship. Ship" "What do you mean the whole time" "Shiiiiiiiiiiip" Ship goes giggling. Ben moans "even the dog is teasing me now"

Normandy SR2 Armory

"Commander" Shepard looks around to see Jacob next to Miranda "Can I help you Miranda?"

Miranda nods "yes. I want to support Benjamin in the stealth operation. if the need arises" Shepards looks her in the eye "sure Ben going to need back up just in case somethings happens" Miranda nods and heads back to her office to prepare.

Jacob Smirks "Sir?" Shepard Groans "I am aware Jacob of Why Miranda wants to go, it no secret, Now let me adjust my Avenger in piece. Would you" Jacob smiles.

Normandy SR2 Gun Battery

"yo Garrus" Garrus turns around "Ben Need me for something or you here to admire my calibrations" Garrus added with an snarky tone at the end. Ben smirk "I needed your input on something" .

Garrus nods" What is it?" Ben looks around " You good at weapons and Calibrations right?" Garrus nods indication to Ben to continue "Well I was looking at the things that came with, when I was living on Horizon and I found this in my pack. It called a proto-tool, my friend used it before he, 'cough'. I was wondering if you can fix it up before my next mission if not the next next mission."

Ben holds out the proto tool for Garrus to hold, which he did. He looked into the design features "Impressive, various modes, sword, gun, even bow. Has stun feature if needed. Yeah I can fix it up before the mission hell I might even get some updates on to it. Whoever made it was clever in it design"

Ben smiles at that "thanks and I owe you one" Garrus waves his bird paws " It fine, you need this if you ran out of that transformation juice" Ben groans. Garrus Smirks. "if it alright with you can I get Tali to help with this, I good at weapons and engineering, but if you want to last go to Tali" Ben nods "Yeah that fine, I come back later to pick it up" Garrus nods and Ben proceeds to leave.

Garrus lights up his Ommi-Tool "Tali Meet me at the Gun battery, you want to see what Ben gave me fix up" Tali respond "I'm on my way"

Jacob calls out "Good luck commander" Shepard nods back

Normandy SR2 Gun Battery

"You have it Garrus." Garrus Nods "Yep and it better than before, with the help of Tali we added some of are own updates to get it using Themo clips." Tali nods "we also configure the wiring so it sync to your Ommi-tool" Ben nods "thanks guys, but can't stay and catch up but need to get ready for my mission" Garrus and tail nod in understanding "we know that why we did it"

"Thanks Guys I see you Later" Then Ben heads off to the Hangar Bay. Tali looks at Garrus "did you see the Engineering of the piece, it was incredible" Garrus hums in agreement " It be useful in a firefight now I am wondering, why don't have one of those" Tali hums "Maybe next time Garrus"

Ben runs in the Hangar Bay "Benjamin I see whatever project you got Garrus working, works" Ben looks up to see Miranda "well This sounds like a long mission princess, so If I run of juice in my Omnitrix, I got my trusty handy Proto-tool." Miranda looks other the device, "impressive and logical and coming from you that a rarity Benjamin" Ben Scowls "I can be Smart" Miranda Smiles. They both walk over to Shepard as they talk.

"Ah Ben good your here. Where ship?" Shepard Ask. "ship ship" Appeared to Shepard left. "I left him In the hangar after I went visit Garrus" Shepard nods.

"Ship turn" And ship turns into that square Mechamorph battle ship, with Gatling guns and missile launchers. Ship Back door Opens.

Shepard Nods smile "good I see you on the other side" and proceeds to enter the Cerberus shuttle. Take of for the Collector ship. You can hear Morden voice in the background saying "impressive"

Miranda nods "lets get going Benjamin" Ben nods. The both get into ship as they head off to the other part of the collector ship. Let the fun begin.
