The Euclides flew towards Ilium, Drake stood on the bridge with Kate, Akari and Andy. "We'll be there in about 10 minutes" Akari said "Dock 15 is open, they said we can head there" Andy said to her as she prepared to enter the port. Kate looked at Drake who had his arms crossed "How long will we be here?" Kate asked "Not too long, we're going to drop off these extra people, then head to Paleven" Drake told her, he looked down for a moment before turning back to her. "We should resupply as much as we can here, I doubt we'll have to worry about running into any Cerberus agents out this way, and more so the Reapers haven't hit this sector yet" he said. Drake started to walk off the bridge Kate followed behind him "Sounds like you've been planning oh fearless leader" she said to him joking. "What do we need to fix the suit?" Drake asked her. "Its almost ready, just need a few more components you should be able to pick those up at any dealer on the planet, honestly its good to go right now...umm the HUD just is out" she said to him. "Alright I'll take it down to the planet with me, as a test run on the new system" he told her, she shrugged "I rewrote the OS of the damn thing from scratch, oh and the new AI in it uses my voice, its not adjustable" She said walking past Drake who let out a sigh. The Euclides landed in a port and started to dock. |

Janet was the first one out when the ship opened up, stretching dramatically and letting out a long yawn. She rubbed her eyes, and headed into the Asari colony. The Salarian Captain and his team walked out as well, but the former of which turned around, looking for Nadia. "Is she not coming?" he asked. "I doubt Noveria will be needing a security team anymore." One of the Asari responded. "That's very true." he said. "Well then, thank you for the escort Drake." he called back to their esteemed leader. The Asari each saluted, and the group of them headed off into the colony. Janet was hanging out around the Kiosks, talking to some Volus about shotgun upgrades. Nadia on the other hand wondered what would be the best course of action for her. For now she was looking into some of her old files, wondering how she would avoid her father and this other branch of Cerberus that apparently had her number now. |

Drake walked off the ship with Akari who looked around "This is amazing" She said smiling brightly at the sight, it was her first time on Ilium. "We so have to go to a club Drake" She said to him. "We're on business Akari" Drake replied to her. This made her huff a bit "Fine" She grumbled before holding out her Omni tool. "I have the list of supplies here" She said to Drake walking ahead of him. "Fine" Drake said to her "If we finish up quickly we can get a few drinks" he said to her. She clapped her hands and smiled again "Awesome, lets go lets go lets go" She said grabbing Drake's arm and dragging him to the nearst dealer. Drake waved to the Salarian and Asari "No problem, stay safe" he said to them. ___ Kate was typing on her computer she sighed and drinking coffee. "Kate" VEDA said "What is it VEDA?" She asked, "It would seem that one of our guest have not departed the ship as previously thought" VEDA answered, Kate sighed again before taking another sip of coffee. She stood up turning off her computer "Thank you VEDA" She told the AI before leaving the room. Kate walked over to Nadia and leaned against the wall crossing her arms. "What do we have here?" She asked with a slight tone. Anyone who knew Kate knew two things about her, she didn't take to other female that good, Akari and Leila being two exemptions and she really didn't like kids or teenagers. Unfortunately this girl happened to be both. "So, not going with your team?" She questioned her. |

She heard Kate approach, and read from her body language that she wasn't amused. Nadia didn't feel like she'd really done anything wrong though. "No, I'm not." Nadia said, glancing up at her. "I'm just trying to figure out where the next best place to hit the Illusive Man is." She told her. Nadia had a good read on people, she was getting a bad vibe from Kate and it made her frown. It was true that she wasn't very old, but she had on the job experience in fighting and Cerberus knowledge since she was about eight years old. No one on Triton's base had ever judged her for being young, at least not publicly. She was used to being the youngest, and was used to having to try extra hard to not bring up the rear. "Is there a problem?" She asked, wanting to get that out of the stress pool. Edited by roku, Apr 10 2012, 09:30 AM.

Kate looked at Nadia, when she said she was trying to figure out where the best place to hit the Illusive Man next would be Kate laughed some. "We're not hitting the Illusive Man anywhere" She said to her. "We're trying to survive, we're going to help against the Reapers" She told her, she knew what Drake had planned and an all out war with Cerberus was not it. They would hit the Illusive Man when the Alliance did, until then they needed to upgrade the ship, fix up Drake's armor. And more importantly go help Livonze's people on Paleven. When she was asked if there was a problem Kate uncrossed her arms "Yes there is" she said to the girl "You didn't ask to stay on the ship. And I'm not sure we can trust someone with such strong ties to Cerberus..." she said to her. "This ship and its crew (minus that one other new person) is my family and I will not have you putting them in harms way because of your daddy issues" she explained to Nadia in a stern voice. ___ Drake held out his Omni tool to a Volus "There ya go 20 thousand creds" he said to him. "Thank you *breath* Earthclane. The goods will be *breath* Delivered to your vessel" the volus replied. "Thanks" Drake said to him as hte turned to Akari who was walking up to him "I got all the equipment Kate needs for the armor" Drake told her "How goes the ship parts on your end?" he asked. Akari sighed "I have nearly all of them, one of the parts is a real pain to get though" She replied "The dealer is being an asshole the size of a relay" She grumbled. Drake laughed "Alright lets go talk to this dealer shall we" he said walking off with Akari behind him. |

"I can't control where I was born or how old I am, and yet those are the two things you're judging me on. I'm not used to this... I haven't read up on you, or anyone on this crew. I don't know how old you are, but you look pretty good." She said. "If I wanted to judge you based on shallow assertions, I'd say you're a bit ditzy and into bad boys, and you don't like meeting new people." She said, speaking openly. "And I can relate to that. I spent the first seventeen years of my life around the people that got gunned down by my father today. Not all of them were bad people. You don't trust me because I'm new? Every single person in the galaxy is a new face to me. Most people my age would be crying, hell, most people my age don't even know what the real world is like. But you and I do. That's something we have in common. Save me the judgment calls...Your crew are damn heroes if you ask me, what do I gain by hurting them? Kick me out if you want."

Kate smirked "Smart mouth little bitch" She said to the girl but it wasn't any hostility to her voice when she said it it came out as more of compliment. She turned around to walk out of the room "You can't stay here the entire time you know, there's a few extra rooms upstairs, though the X.O room is mine and the biggest room is Drake's try the starboard section of the ship there's a few more rooms over there" she turned back to look at Nadia one last time "Consider this provisional, don't do anything stupid okay?" she questioned her. "Are you going to let her stay on the ship" VEDA asked Kate looked down for a moment "She has nowhere else to go, Cerberus is after her. Drake wouldn't let her go out on her own, I'm just following his example" She said. "So you still don't trust the girl?"VEDA asked "Trust is something that is earned VEDA, not given...I'll trust her when she proves it to me" Kate replied going to her office. "You humans confuse me sometimes" VEDA replied "I know we do" Kate answered. ____ Drake smirked some "See just like that, thats how you negotiate Akari" He said pointing his gun at the arms dealer. "Please don't shoot me...again" The man said "I'll send everything you want to your ship I promise!" he yelled. Drake turned back to him "Also?" He asked. "I'm...I'm sorry I shouldn't have grabbed her ass!" he yelled Akari walked over to him "You damn right you shouldn't have!" She yelled kicking him in the balls the man fell to his knees in pain. "I think that hurt more than being shot in the arm" Drake laughed. Akari turned to Drake "Now about those drinks you promised" she smirked "Don't you have to fly the ship?" he asked her "Well of course, but we'll be docked here for a bit, can't we have shore leave" she asked, it had been a while since they'd been in an enviornment where someone wasn't trying to kill them. "Alright fine fine" Drake said "I'll let everyone else know, you can go ahead. Be careful, be back to the ship in 5 hours" he said to her. Akari smirked and walked off. Drake sighed going back to the Euclides. |

"Sure thing your majesty." She said, offering a regal bow like she'd seen in some British movies. She waved as Kate left. "What does she think I am? Twelve? She asked herself. "Livonze, you should take a break. Relax...have a drink before we go kick the reapers off of your planet." She said. "You're the first Turian I've really met...are you all this quiet?" She asked him. Janet nudged Drake on his way back. "Why are you going back to the ship if you have five hours of leave?" She asked. Edited by roku, Apr 10 2012, 05:39 PM.

Livonze listened to the conversation that was going on between Kate and Nadia. That woman never really ceased to amaze him with her bitcheness Livonze thought. It was a wonder Drake had put up with her for so long, then again she was cute so he figured Drake was just good a ignoring people. He finished up on what he was working on when Nadia spoke to him. He turned to look at her "Taking a break and relaxing would just let my mind wander about whats going on there...keeping busy is keeping my mind off of it" he said to her as he put his tools away. He laughed "And no, we're not all this quiet, I've just learned not to open my mouth when Kate is talking" he said to her "That woman can by scarier than a Reaper sometimes, you should learn that and learn that fast if you expect to survive on this ship" he said as he walked over to the newly completed cab outfitted with guns. Livonze ran his hand over it "I need some paint for this thing" he thought outloud. |

Drake looked at Janet when she asked about the shore leave "I didn't give myself leave, just you guys...there's more work to be done" he said to her. He had to help Livonze plan for the Palaven thing, figure out what their plan of attack should be for this mission. "You should take the leave if you're that concerned about it" Drake said to her as he walked on the ship. He stopped listening to Livonze and Nadia talk. Drake leaned against the wall and slid down it and leaned his head back. "Tired?" Leila asked as she was walking past him. "Not really..." Drake said to her. "Get some sleep Drake, you keep pushing yourself like this and your going to give out when we need you most. Listen to your Yeoman I know what I'm talking about" Leila said walking off the ship. Drake laughed some standing up he walked past Nadia and Livonze. "Livonze 2 hours we'll plan I need a nap" he said going to the elevator. Drake went up to his quarters and collapsed on his bed passing out as he did. |
