The Euclides had just escaped from Noveria, inside everyone was looking rather tired. Akari and Andy sat on the ship bridge Andy picking with something. "Fixed it" he said happily. "Thank you Andy" a voice said "No problem VEDA, been rather quiet with you not talking" he replied. "I appreciate the assistance my voice module has been on the as you would say fritz for the past few weeks" VEDA responded. Akari smiled "Good work Andy, now she'll answer it was getting weird talking to nothing" Akari told them. ___ Drake sat in the conference room with Kate, both of whom were looking over the data he had gotten. "Well what do you think?" He asked her. Kate scratched her head "Well this is interesting, I didn't think they had progressed this far in the whole indoctrination thing" she clicked on a file. "That looks like collector's tech" Drake said leaning forward. He looked at it closer "The same tech that me and Anthony had to get...so this is, was for the suit..." he told Kate. "Looks like the Illusive Man was using the Tin Man as a means to control, but with this we can cut any links it may have with this implant tech..." She looked at Drake. "Well what about me?" he asked "Do you think I'm at risk?" he asked. "No, I doubt it, I did program the suit to not interfere with your brain activity, and I don't think that Cerberus had managed to break those saft locks just yet" she said pointing out it out in the hologram. "I'll get to work right away on this" She said. "Okay that solves one problem, now what do we do with the people we picked up?" Kate asked, Drake shrugged "Can't go to alliance I'm still technically AWOL, they'd probably lock me up, and the rest of you for being with Cerberus, or well formerly" he told her. "Damn" Kate said looking down like she was thinking. |

Livonze was down in the hanger looking at everyone there. There sure as hell was a lot of them. What the hell did Drake get himself into this time, well it was mostly Asari and a few Salarians, but still the ship was a lot better when people weren't running around everywhere. Livonze sighed and went over to the cab they had stolen he was fixing it up. Well outfitting with a few guns "So" he said to everyone down there "Whats your deal, I mean why aren't you back on your home planets fighting the Reapers, you all look pretty well fit in terms of being warriors" he said he looked at the Asari "Well you girls do anyway" he said to them as he twisted a wrench bolting down a machine gun on the cab. He walked over to the other side and climbed in and started to connect the gun to the console of the cab so it could be controlled from there. He sighed some and tossed the wrench back into the tool box. He stood up stretching before sitting back in the cab, he was wondering how the fights were going on Palaven, they should be heading that way soon Livonze thought. Drake said they would see if they could help with the evacuation, it was the least he could do for Livonze helping as much as he did. At least that is what Drake said to him. And Livonze believed him. |

Janet was woosy, just laying down on a couch near the med bay. -- The Salarian Captain looked over at Livonze and shook his head. "Noveria is my home world, Turian..." He said. "I wasn't actually born there, but I've spent most of my life there. It's my home." He said, turning away and sitting down. "I could ask you the same, why are you on this ship? A crew full of humans. Why aren't you on Palaven? Isn't it because this is where you belong? These girls are my sisters..." he explained. "Noveria might have been bloody cold, both the climate and the business practice, but it kept my on my toes. It was...fun." He said, and after that he went quiet. "It was fun, Captain." One of the Asari's said. "Who would have thought an Ex-Eclipse agency would be involved in such a huge mission..we've probably saved billions of lives taking down Ocorp..." She assured him. "...Yeah..." he said. He didn't have a witty Salarian response. The leader of the Asari looked over at Livonze. "It's as he says. Our branch of Noveria security was a subsidary of Eclipse until a few months ago, hired to protect corporate CEO's such as Nadia's father. But we weren't hired by Him...Nadia is our contractor. He had her hire us because he wanted us to be affiliated with Ocorp, not Cerberus. We weren't even aware that Ocorp was a Cerberus funded operation until recently. After she changed sides, so did we. We are on her payroll." "Yeah, if you ever need a loan, Turian, go see Nadia." Another Asari told him. "I was always a privileged child. But I'm not just a wealthy empty shell. You could say that I cashed my chips in at the opportune time." Nadia told him, with a bit of a smirk. "I sold my shares of Cerberus and Ocorp while they were still hot, after I found out what the implants were doing to him. I vow to use that money to end the operation for good. I doubt Ocorp shares are worth very much now." She sneered. "I wonder if he got off Noveria alive..." "As far as I know, Darma is still active." The Salarian captain told her. "But it's too far away for me to access now. Your father will probably try to escape in my ship... that's part of the reason I wanted it destroyed. I wanted any surviving Cerberus to be trapped there." "Hey..." Nadia called over to Livonze. "Thanks for getting us the hell out of there." Edited by roku, Apr 8 2012, 11:31 AM.

Drake sat in his quarters looking over this computer. He sighed some as he put his coffee down, he was wondering what they were going to do. Everyone that was, it seemed damn near impossible to kill one Reaper yet they had more than a thousand more to go maybe more than that. "Well guess we really will be dying after all" he jokedas he closed his computer and walked out of his quaters. Drake headed down to the hanger "Livonze" he said to his friend as he walked over to the cab he was working on. "Any word on Palaven?" he asked him sitting down on the floor next to the cab. "I mean, well do you know how its doing?" he asked him, he knew that Livonze had been keeping tabs on the planet but he wasn't sure if they were daily or not. "I told Akari to set a course for there as soon as we drop these guys off" he said nodding to Nadia and her team "We'll head to Palaven and help with what we can, though I'm not sure how much of a difference we'll actually make" he said in a somber tone. |

Livonze looked at the Salarian "Fair enough" he said to him as he continued with his work. He looked back at the Asari when they begin to question him "This is my ship, my crew, I don't abandon them." he explained "Drake said we'll head to Palaven soon to help out with what we can and I believe him" he explained as he finished up his work. He tossed another tool into the box and sat in the cab moving the controller to see if the gun would respond. Which it did "Great" Livonze said slyly. "I don't need money" he said to them when they said to see Nadia for a loan, when Drake walked in Livonze looked at him. "Not looking good, the Reapers have pushed them back hard, it seems fighting is escalating all over the planet Drake" Livonze explained "I heard rumors they are trying to get Krogan for reinforcements, but lets be honest how likely is that to happen?" he asked. "Thanks Drake, that means a lot to me" said about them going to see if they could do anything to help out. "And whenever the Alliance move back to take Earth, I'll be here in this ship ready to help you as well" he assured him. |

Nadia couldn't help but frown. "I've never been to Earth." Nadia said. 'I've seen thousands of movies about it, but never the real deal...And now I never will...at least not as it was." She told them. The Salarian Captain turned and nodded to her. "That's rough. At least your homeworld is likely to remain untouched. You said you were from a moon." "...Yes." Nadia told him, refusing to elaborate on which moon. "Noveria is a tropical vacation compared to that place." She told him. A faint and burred visual message came on Nadia's Omnitool. She found it difficult to make out the image, but the voice was clear. "So, you made it out alive... that's good. I knew you would...we share the same DNA you and I..." he told her in a creepy voice. "Dad...you shot them all..." "Actually, I stabbed one of them I think." "DAD those people have beenn your friends since I was a little girl! You've lost your mind..." "They had to die..." he told her. "They were...a liability. You set me up good, my little princess. Well done...becoming more and more like your beloved father every day..." "Shut up!" She growled. throwing the device across the room and smashing it. Her breathing was heavy, two tears, one rolling down each cheek. "I'll never be like you..." She grumbled under her breath.

Drake smirked at Livonze when he said he appreciated the help "Yeah right" Drake said to him punching his friend in the arm "You know I was going to help, it wasn't even a question" he told him. It was weird as Drake had always hated Turians. Well, atleast until he met Livonze, he never figured one of his best friends would be a Turian and he damn sure in hell never thought that he'd be rushing off to try and help save the Turian homeworld either. Things change. Laughing this off Drake looked at him "Yeah afterwards we'll hit the citadel, besides you still owe me some drinks" he joked with Livonze. He looked at the girl when she started crying and yelling at her father over her omni tool. It was hard he knew, about dealing with parents. Hell is mother and step father were both just terrible people, but that was life. He wasn't going to go comfort her or anything. Seemed to him she made the choice herself to walk away from her father. She would have to live with that choice. Drake stood up and looked in the cab as Livonze fidled around with it. "See you got the guns workin on this thing" he said to him. |

She wasn't crying. She had accepted this long ago. It was his taunting that got under her skin. The man didn't seem to care about her well being at all. She wondered why he even stayed in contact at all. Nadia wiped her face, and her blood pressure began to fall back down to normal levels. She didn't need to say anything, the expression on her face showed pain, but it also showed a determination beyond her years. She had a calloused and stern disposition, and was clearly deep in thought. The Salarian got up, and walked over to join Drake and Livonze. "A nice ship you run here, even STG would be impressed. Think she can get us into Illium at some point? I think the girls will want to go somewhere they belong after this incident...and...you know...Thessia..." He said, whispering the name of the planet that had recently been decimated. |

"Well then" Livonze started to say as he tossed Drake a tool to help him fix up the cab. "I guess its good to have friends like you guys" he said to them, Livonze had found a second family here. Just never thought that would happen when he was asked to serve on a Cerberus ship, it was good that he had friends like Drake, Kate, Andy, and Akari and hell even Thomas. Looking at the Cab Livonze shrugged "Well yeah I figured we don't have the shuttles and you guys just lost two of the fighters, so we'll be needing something like this" he told him running his hands across the cab "Just need to get a good paint job for the girl and she'll be ready to fly high" he joked. He didn't say much when the girl started to freak out and threw her communicator, Livonze hadn't really had family problems like that so he wasn't really an expert. |

Drake caught the wrench that Livonze had thrown to him and started to tighten up one of the bolts on the door. "Yeah" he said to him "Well you know we watch each others back, I mean who else will when the Alliance and Cerberus is gunning for us" he joked. He sighed when Livonze mentioned the fighters, that would cost them. They didn't have the resources like they did when they worked for Cerberus. Losing those fighters were going to be a pain in the ass if they ever needed them again. Luckily they still had 3 more. Drake turned to the Salarian when he walked over to them. "Illium?" He asked "Yeah we can head that way now, we'll need to resupply before going to Palaven" Drake said "VEDA" he said "Yes Drake" A voice responded. "Hey they got your voice working again, thats good" he smirked saying this. "Can you tell Akari to set a course to Illium for us, we need to drop off our guest" he said. "Right away Captain" VEDA responded to him. |
