Story Start
In orbit over the moon, in the cockpit of an Arcadia-class jumpship known as the Queen of Hearts was our guardian and his trustworthy ghost.
"So are we close?" I wondered out loud, eager to get this finished so I get some time to relax...it's been a hard week
"Well, according to Eris Morn we must be." Casper answered
"What are we even after?" I asked, curious why we were even out here
"Some sort of anomaly, Eris thinks it might have something to do with the pyramids so keep an eye out." answered Casper while he scanned the surroundings
[scoffs]
"Damn I hate those guys, I knew he was evil the moment I saw him." I said
"I thought he looked like you?" asked Casper
"Yeah but his voice just oozed evil, I mean for something who wanted to get us on their side they really should have listened to their voice beforehand." I responded
"I wouldn't know I was otherwise...engaged." said an annoyed Casper
"Stop sulking, I got you a new shell after all."
"That doesn't mean I can't be..." Casper starts before trailing off
"Casper what's wrong?" I ask
"These readings, they don't make any sense? Oh no, the anomaly...We are in the middle of the anomaly! We need to get out of here immediately!" said a panicking Casper
"Don't need to tell me twice." as I boosted the throttle, only for it to do nothing
"Callum... why aren't we moving?" Casper asked worriedly
"The controls aren't responding; this doesn't look good." I shout as I scramble at the controls trying to get something, anything to work
"No and the anomaly is getting stronger, it seems as if it is taking us somewhere." said Casper worriedly
(Ship starts shaking)
"It might be best if you take cover." I said worriedly
(The ship starts cracking with pulsing energy and the space outside starts to light up like a thousand lights with some unknown force pulling us forward)
"Good idea, I'll come back out when it's safe." said Casper before vanishing
Still struggling to gain any control over the ship, I ask "Any idea on where is taking us?"
"No." came Casper's reply
After what seems like hours but was only one we exited the anomaly and came face to face with the surface of a planet
"Oh SHHIIIITTTTT!"
"Oh SHHIIIITTTTT!"
Pulling up on the controls, I tried to avoid a total crash and managed to hit the ground at an angle, creating a long deep trough behind us.
Transmitting out of the ship I inspect it, it's battered and bruised but fixable
"Well, the paints scratched. But she is looking good!" I said relieved
"We can fix that later, first, we need to see where we are." spoke Casper looking at our surroundings.
'It's definitely a fertile world judging from all the greenery, the only question is if there is any intelligent life?
Summoning my sparrow, an iron wing gjallarhorn, we go out in search of civilization.
"Wait, I'm picking something up." said Casper
"What?" I ask
"Don't know the data's not encrypted. I just can't make sense of it but it's coming from that direction." Instructed Casper
Travelling in the direction in question it doesn't take us long to come across a small army of robots attacking a group of soldiers, with the leader wearing...
"Is that pink Armor?" asked Casper, confused why anyone would colour their armour that shade
"Not now!" I rebuked
Mentally summoning my Crimil's dagger modified for 10 rounds and explosive ammo, I unload the weapon on the nearest robot.
There seems to be some resistance, most likely from a shield of some sort. But it doesn't last long, and I manage to drop a couple. Coming closer I angle sparrow to take out a few of them, I dismount and let the sparrow continue on.
As planned, my sparrow knocks over a few robots. Unfortunately, most of the damage seems superficial, and the robots are fully functional and are able to climb back to their feet.
Now in the middle of the soldier's I create a healing rift much to the shock of the soldiers.
Ashley's POV
A lot has happened in a short amount of time, and it's only their training that has allowed them to survive so far, but the way things are going that won't last much longer.
'It all started with that damn beacon. That's the only reason the Geth would be here!' She thinks to herself.
Now because of that, her and her men are smack bang in the middle of a firefight. Pennyloafer was already down, and if she didn't get help soon, she wasn't going to make it. Then a guy wearing the strange set of armor and riding a grav-bike comes out of nowhere and starts tearing up the Geth. Then he creates some sort of glowing ring on the ground.
When he comes to a stop next to her, crouching behind cover, she asks "Who the hell are you, and what is this thing?"
"It's a healing rift, should stabilise your friend over there and the names Callum. What's your name?" He asked hurriedly after using his smg to take down another geth unit
"Ashley and this is dog squad, RASPUTIN what are her vitals?" I shout towards one of my men
"She's stabilising ma'am, but she isn't out of the woods." replied Rasputin
"Good, the rift will stop your teammate from bleeding out, but she will need a medic, sooner would be better than later. Now can you tell me what's happening here?" asks Callum
"I think it's the Geth and that they're after the beacon, we have already lost multiple squads to these bastards! The only good news is that they don't seem that interested in the outskirts. Instead, they have focused the majority of their forces in the middle of the colony. "
Regular POV
"Ok, I'm going draw their fire and take them out, you need to get that girl off the battlefield." I say while reloading
"Wait! You can't take them on your self!" Exclaims Ashley
"You'd be surprised; any way you guys will be providing me with covering fire."
"But...GETH on the left flank." shouts Ashley as she mows down a Geth that tried to flank them
"It's that or stay here.. now cover me." I ordered
Jumping over the cover we have been using I open with an arc grenade taking out two Geth, I then slide behind a boulder the Geth have been camping behind and open fire point bank on the Geth hiding there taking them out. With all the attention on me, the other soldiers can take out the remaining Geth.
"Ok, now how is everyone?" I ask
"Fine the only one seriously injured is Pennyloaf and that thing you did saved her...in fact you saved all of us."
"No problem, but you need to get her to a doctor just to be sure." I suggested
Just then a ship passes overhead
"That's an alliance frigate!" Said Ashley, hope in her voice
"They should have some medical equipment on board, right?" I ask
"Yes, but what about you?" asked Ashley worriedly
"I'll be fine, you've seen what I can do. You, on the other hand, need to get your teammate to safety, plus the people on that ship have no idea what they are up against and will be walking straight into an ambush."
"Good point." Ash says reluctantly
"In the meantime, I'll scout ahead and let you know what's happening, but I need your frequency and the direction this 'beacon' is in."
"If you keep going in this direction, you'll come to a bunch of columns surrounding a stone cycle, last I heard the beacon was there and as for my frequency...(Opens up Omni-tool) this is it."
Summoning my ghost, I say "Ok Casper can get the frequency?"
"No problem." as he scans her omni-tool
"What is that?"
"That Ashley is my friendly ghost, Casper who lives in my backpack, Casper meet Ashley, Ashley meet Casper."
"Delighted to meet you."Casper stated dryly
"Same to you?" Replied a stunned Ashley
"Any way you better start making your way to the ship."
"Sure thing, Bates give Pennyloaf a hand!" ordered Ashley
"I'll be fine ma'am, I can walk!" came Pennyloaf's reply
"Don't be stubborn and accept the help soldier, we need to get to that ship as quick as possible!" rebuffed Ashley
Shephard POV
Jane Shephard was not a happy vanguard, not in the slightest. Not only did the captain keep the real mission a secret but the specter that was supposed to be evaluating her goes off on his own without so much as a by-your-leave, how on earth could you evaluate someone if you weren't anywhere nearby? Plus the fact that her squadmates are currently a lieutenant that she swears has been giving her doe eyes when she's not looking and a rookie that is so green he's pretty much a tree, 'I mean at least Kaiden can keep it professional.' She thinks
It's been nearly 20 minutes since left the ship, and they are about to enter their first bottleneck, a small pass with steep banks on either side with boulders on the other side of the pass, a perfect spot for an ambush.
"Ok, everyone stay on your guard. This next part could be nasty, Kaiden move up slowly." warned Shepard
Kaiden moves up, keeping an eye on the banks and hugs the bank when he gets to it, Shepard follows his example with Jenkins trailing behind.
"So far so good, now one of us needs to go in and check the-"
"I'll do it!" interrupted Jenkins who proceeded to rush out, making absolutely no use of the nearby cover.
"JENKINS maintain cover, you're exposed!"
Just then I heard the telltale sound of an engine for a small drone, and sure enough, three drones come out from their hiding place.
"Jenkins get into cover!" I shouted at a frozen Jenkins, but even as I raise my shotgun, I knew that there was no way at this range and angle that I could do anything to save him.
Then, out of nowhere a burst of gunfire downs one of the drones giving Jenkins time to dive into cover, his shields able to withstand the 2 shots the remaining drones are able to make before the combined fire from two different parties brought them down.
"Jenkins what the hell were you thinking?" raged Shepard
"I'm sorry, I..." stammered Jenkins
"You what, decided to be an idiot, what happened to using cover? I told you this part could get ugly! If it weren't for these guys, you would be dead!" shouted Shepard
Turning the newcomers, I ask "Ok, who are you and who is in charge?"
The woman in pink armour steps forward and says "I am ma'am, and this is dog squad."
Noticing that one of the soldiers was being half-carried by another, she asks "Any of you wounded?"
"Just Pennyloaf ma'am, Callum really saved our bacon." emphasised Ashley
"Who's Callum?" I ask
"A guy who we ran into back there, if it weren't for him a lot of us would be dead, at the moment he is scouting ahead." informed Ashley
"Do you have his frequency?" I ask
"Oh sure, I'll transfer you the details" activating her Omni-tool she does just that
"Okay, Callum can you read me?" I ask
"Loud and clear, who is this?" A voice answers from the omni-tool
"It's Jane Shepherd, I'm here with Ashley."
"So she made it good, I just passed where Ashley said the beacon was and it's been moved any idea where it would be now?"
At this point Ashley interrupts and says "Probably the spaceport."
"Hang on Callum I need you to wait up!"
"... yeah that's going to be a firm no." the voice responds after a lengthy pause
"Listen, I don't know who you think you are but..."
"It's not that." interrupts Callum "These geth operate on a shared network, if one knows where you are, they all do so staying in one location after you've been seen is not a good idea, and they definitely know where I am...but I'll slow down and give you time to catch up, it should be more or less clear from you to me."
"That sounds acceptable, any information should know?"
"Like I said they operate a shared network so sneaking up behind them and taking them out one by one isn't going to work. Also, any ambushes must be executed carefully with coordination. Otherwise, they will react too quickly, and it would all fall apart."
"Any weaknesses?" I ask
"Some, for example, the joints neck and head. But I would aim at the neck or the chest to make sure they stay down because if you only blind them, their buddies nearby will just tell where to shoot, they're not nearly as accurate, but it's a nasty surprise...They've tried it on me a couple of times."
"Any other advice?"
"Yeah focus fire on few and down them quickly if possible, it seems though that the less of them there are, the slower their reaction times are, the worse their shooting is, and their strategies become more simple and predictable...Also if you see any with an aerial on their back take them out first as they seem to improve the other geths combat skills the most."
"Ok, we'll catch up with you soon. Jenkins, you and him (pointing at the person half carrying the wounded soldier) take miss Pennyloaf back to the LZ, I'll let them know you are coming understood?" I ordered
"Yes ma'am." they replied
Activating my omni-tool "Ok shore party to ship, we have a wounded soldier incoming so get ready."
"Roger that shore party, Doctor Chakwas has been notified."
"Okay people we have a lot of ground to cover, but that's no reason to be reckless so keep an eye out." I ordered
Regular POV
"You heard her Casper, let's try slowing down for a bit to let them catch up."
It had been awhile since I saw Ashley and dog squad and in that time I have passed the last known sight of the beacon and have been taking out multiple geth along the way with my bow.
'Compared to what we usually face, these guys don't seem so tough.' Casper says mentally
'But that's us, these guys, on the other hand, seem outmatched.' I mentally replied
'That reminds, I found some things on Ashley's Omni-tool I need to tell you about.' added Casper quietly
Looking back I surveyed the few survivors we found and verbally replied
"That can wait. First, we need to find somewhere where these guys will be safe."
"Up ahead looks promising." said Casper
"Yeah, there are a bunch of temporary houses and... holly shit!"
Ashley POV
"This is where the beacon was originally." I informed
"Who do you think moved it, them or us?" asked Shepard
"Does it matter?" asked Kaiden
Just then a call came in over her Omni-tool
"Hey Callum, what's the problem?" I ask
"Just letting you know I've got some survivors and have them safe at some temporary housing but that's not important right now. What's important is that the geth have been skewering people."
"What? What reason would they do that?" asked Kaiden
"If I had to guess it's rigged to blow if they are taken off, either way, I think it's best to stay clear of them. Also, one of the survivors here seems to have seen a Turian leading the geth. I'm not sure though as he seems a bit...odd."
Jane, decides to speak up after hearing this. "There was Turian with us, but I don't know where he is now."
"Well I'd give him a call, he might know something, either way, I need to make sure the surroundings are safe, Callum out."
"Ok Nihlus lets see if you are hiding anything else from us." remarked Shepard
Ok who thinks nihlus should live or die?
