The next few minutes were a slaughter. Every tom dick and harry gain a new vent in their heads. There were a couple dozen of them being shot down the moment they landed from the barricade. Meanwhile the squad at the lower level was waiting for heavier units to place themselves.
Soon the Blood Pack came over and we began to lay down fire on the Krogan and Vorcha. The vorcha were being mowed down faster than they could adapt. While the Krogan went into full charge every heavy weapon was pulled out and we began to bombard them with grenades and rockets. While the Ghost squad targets weak points.
Zaeed was using Incendiary rounds to burn them. While Garrus was using Armor-Piercing rounds to break their head plates. I'm using Warp rounds with my Assault Rifle. They punch through them with little effort. Soon Garm came down from the Barricade and charged. "All units target the Krogan." With that, literal hellfire came down on the Krogan. He barely made it halfway across the Bridge.
After that there was a lull in the fight. Garrus sighs, "It's almost laughable how easy this was. If you hadn't come with your little army, Me and Javian would've been dead by now." I nodded, "Who do you think is next?" He looks through his scope, I do the same. We start to see mechs being placed over the wall.
"Looks like they're sending mechs." I smirked, "EDI can you hack the mechs to join us? Or at least target each other?" "I would need a direct line of sight of each mech. The more there is, the more I can hack. Though it'll take longer." I open the Coms to the entire Squad. "All units switched to Snipers and let EDI use your Optics to hack the Mechs heading our way."
I hear the switching of weapons. Soon every Mech on the bridge starts heading our way but with a different hue in their Optics. Soon the Heavy came and started to fire onto the Eclipses. While every sniper is firing on every Organic Unit. All the while the YMIR mech was slowly making its way to our side of the bridge.
Zaeed grunts in disappointment, "This is too easy, it almost takes the fun out of it." I hear an agreement from Jacob. "Don't worry, we'll find better battles in the future." I turned to Garrus, "You think we can get through now?" He nods, "All that remains is the Blue Suns though they have a gunship. Last time they used it I managed to bring it down."
"It's most likely fixed by now. EDI can you hack the Gunship?" "Not in the Timeframe of the next encounter or if you manage to keep one of the Mechs optics on it. The only way forward is to destroy it. Or disable it." I nodded and switched to disruptor ammo, Everyone else did the same. The hounds began to spread out amongst us and create a Tech Armor and Fortifications on us.
Suddenly the Gunship appeared and began to fire on us. I manage to push Garrus out of the way. Everyone fired at the ship while the Blue Suns came across the bridge. I got up and shot at the Merc Gang. Jacob, Zaeed and Garrus, fire at the group with me while the mechs focus on the gunship. Soon the Gunship stutters and crashes into the bridge.
The Batarian leader got out and gained a new Vent in his head. We waited for new enemies till we figured it was all cleared. "All Mechs gather the Armor, weapons and Wrist Omni-Tools on the bridge. EDI, have the shuttles make their way here." "Of course Shepard."
I turned to see Javian leaning onto Miranda. "Did we win?" Garrus nods, and takes his other arm. "Let's get you out of here." I turned on the Com again. "EDI Contact various scavenger groups and ask for help here." "Acknowledged." We got Javian back to the Normandy and into medical care while I stayed with Jacob and Zaeed for the clean up.
About an hour later we now have several million credits. Plus new mechs I contact Ken and Gab to begin doing the same thing that I did to the Original Group of mech. Not to mention to go into markets and buy up the armor/weapons and tech that they can get their hands on.
We sold half of the Armors of each of the Gangs. But we keep the other half to be spray painted and redesigned as ours. Though a few of them will be broken down to make more of our own armors and weapons. The Omni-Tools were sold off after we cleaned them out of data. Now we are heading to the Quarantine District to help them.
After a bit of Negotiation we were allowed to enter. Unfortunately I had to have just Miranda, Jacob, Zaeed and Garrus. Still a better position than before but would've been if I had the full army. "May I ask why I'm walking into a plague infested complex?" I shrugged at Garrus. "Cause you're one of my best friends and you'll follow me to hell and back?"
He shakes his head. "You need better friends." I chuckled, we came across burning bodies. Zaeed grunts, "Plague Control 101, Burn the virus out." I see the batarian, "Of course, *cough cough* Humans send a virus and then come to pick the dead clean." I gave him a dose of med-igel, "W-what?" I shake my head.
"I'm looking for Mordin Solus, I'll need you to stay here for a bit while I go ahead and clear the way." He stares after me, while we move forward. I got out the Avenger and put on the Armor-Piercing. Everyone did the same to various elements. Within a matter of minutes got into a number of fights. With the remainder of Blue Suns and Blood Pack.
We didn't stop for anything. In the game there was no time limit, so you could explore a bit. But here and now people need our help. We picked up several things though. One of them being a flame-thrower and the other being Krogan Grave-hammer. I gave the Thrower to Zaeed and the Hammer to Jacob. Mostly due to the fact that he is wearing an exo-suit.
Finally we made it to Mordin's Clinic, I turned to the guy at the door. "Is Mordin in?" He nods, "Yeah, though keep your weapons holstered. We don't want any trouble." I nodded and headed inside of the Clinic. I looked around and went to the back.
He immediately turned and came towards us. "Turian, Mercenary, slight infection from pathogen. Simple immune-booster should clear that up. Now who are you? Here to clear out the District? No, need more troops, Not part of any known mercenary groups, sent to clear out the Vorcha? Vorcha is a symptom not the problem. Could you be working Cerberus?" I nod, He continues before I could speak.
"If Cerberus is here to help the humans, why have a Turian? Branching out? Seems unlikely, unless looking for recruits, Only possibility.. Are you here to recruit me?" I nod again, "Yes but let's fix this place up first. You have a cure I presume." He smiles, "Yes of course, right here." He hands me several vials.
"You need to take them to the Filter System at the District System life support." Just as he said that the air goes off. "Best hurry, also my assistant, Daniels, is out there hoping to help people." I nodded and we moved out. Like entering the district we didn't stop till we heard some commotion in a room.
"You were trying to infect us with the virus. I can see those vials!" He struggled with his grip. "No, they hold the cure. I came here to help you." The batarian snarls, "Maybe we start by cutting a finger or two. That'll get you talking." We walked up on them. They turn towards us and the 'leader' points his pistol at the Assistant.
"Who the hell are you?" I raised my hands, "I'm here to stop the Virus. But I'm also not gonna let you torture someone. You can walk away, Head to Mordin's Clinic to help them." He looks at his companions, "You'd just let us leave?" I nodded, "As long as you don't hurt him or the People of the Clinic."
They lower their weapons, "Okay, we'll go. We didn't want this." I stepped aside and let them pass. I then turned to Daniels. "You're gonna give me those vials and head back to Mordin." We looked shocked, "Are you really trying to stop this?" I nod, "Here then, Please hurry I don't know how long the District can handle this Infection."
We let him go as we forced our way to the Life support system. There were a lot of Vorcha. They turned to you. "Rargh! You no be here! Air chokes you! Need kill you!" I shrugged and opened fire on him. With one of my shots hitting the Fuel tank on his back. He exploded seconds later.
We got into cover, "Zaeed, Jacob go down the left corridor, Miranda and Garrus go to the right." I popped off a few more rounds into a brave Vorchy. "I'm going to transfer the cure into the main vent drive. Move it!" burst from the cover and Ran hard to the end of the Hall. I see a number of filters. I removed them so I can put in the cure.
I then put them back, because I guaranteed that they won't start till they are back in place. I then get tagged by shoot. I turn to see a small pack of Vorcha heading my way. I get behind some cover, and start popping heads left and right. One managed to get close enough to swipe at me.
I grabbed his hand and stabbed into his brain, with the Omni-Blade. I broke the piece off and shot another one getting close. I dropped the body and suddenly the air started to flow again. The Vorcha pack left in a hurry. I see the rest of the Squad coming up on me.
"Let's get back to Mordin. I think we're done on Omega for now." Miranda scoffs at that. We went back the way we came and since there weren't any wandering combatants we made it to the clinic in record time. Once there we heard Mordin departing with some last minute advice to Daniels.
"How can you say that?! You're a Doctor, you believe in helping people." Mordin continues to pack his things. "Lots of ways to help people. Sometimes you need to suture an artery, other times it is to cut the Cancer out." He turns to Daniels, "Go on, Think on what I said."
"You ready to join a Suicide Mission?" He blinks for a moment, "Of course, I've contacted your ship. They said that you're going after the Collector. Good enough reason I think." I nodded and raised my hand to shake his. He takes it, with a smile. "Let's get you out of here Professor."
15 minutes later
I now back down in the hangar bay. Working on more of my Mech troops. Ken and Gab were back up in the Engine Deck. And EDI got to use one of the bodies to help me. "Maybe we should get you a dedicated body EDI. You can come out with us." She spoke through my Tool.
"I'm not sure that would be possible. Though there is nothing stopping me from doing so, I fear what would happen if The Illusive Man found out." I shrugged, the armors that we've picked up have been painted and are now out on the new Mech. I based them on the N7 Armor. "Hm, EDI Have we made a designation yet?"
"No Shepard, we are near Omega at the moment." I think for a moment, "Let's head for our next recruit, Okeer." "Of course Shepard. Joker has been notified. Estimated time: 7 hours." I nodded and started working again.
After a couple of hours I went up to my Cabin to shower and sleep. My dreams were… Different from what I'm used to. Nor was it the Dark Forest of ME3. It was the hospital room that I was dying in, Or died in to be more accurate. Then I looked out to see a Purple Sun.
I woke up after only 4 hours? "Hey EDI, Is there a doctor on the ship? Besides Mordin?" "Yes, Doctor Chakwas is in her medical lab right now. I will alert her of your coming." I nodded and put on light clothes. "Thanks EDI. Oh, do you get paid?" "No I do not. As I am an Object and not a real Person."
I grimace at that, "I'm going to give you a paycheck. You need to be able to get things you like." "If that is your wish. I'll file a request with Operative Lawson." Okay I make my way to the Crew Quarters. It was a bit empty. Guess it's night on the ship. The Med Bay was on and Chakwas turned to me. "I was wondering when you would come to see me."
I smiled at her and went to hug her. "Oh Shepard, I'm glad you're back." I let her go and we sat down. "How've you been Doc?" She arches an eyebrow, "How've you been? Shepard… John, you were dead? Not only that, you've been in a near constant battle. Are you doing alright?"
I stared at her for a good minute and shook my head, "I don't know, How do you survive a Death Experience? How do you deal with it? I don't know. But I'm not going to waste it." She looked at me with sad eyes. "You didn't waste your first life. And I doubt you'll waste this one."
"I have a few regrets, Karin. My life has been nothing but a fight. First when I was a kid on earth. Then at Elysium, and finally Saren. There was a chance then to fall in love with Liara. But I thought of the Mission first. Kept her and everyone else on a Professional level." I sighed and leaned back.
She leans back too, "Would you do things over if you could?" I gave a humorless chuckle, "Probably not. That's the thing about regrets, It's things that you could've done better. But you can't." I stood up and prepared to leave before she pulled me into a hug. "You're not alone John, If you need someone to talk to I'm here."
I gave her a squeeze, "Thank you." I went back down to the Hangar Bay. I was surprised that the rest of the Mechs have been upgraded and are now standing at attention. "EDI did you continue after I left?" "Yes Shepard, I felt it prudent to finish the project that you started." I also notice that there are now more Dog-Bots.
"How many do we have now?" "Now have 34 Upgraded LOKI Mechs and 17 Upgraded FENRIS mechs." I looked at them. "Split them up in teams of 4, Give them each a 'Rank' in the squad as well as a unit as a whole. Make 15 of them patrol the ship at least station on each deck. Same with the Fenris Mechs."
They start to move, "Oh give them Submachine guns and Shotguns. Make sure that they are light and have plenty of Ammo." "Right away Shepard." I think for a moment and find that the Originals are still standing there, as well as few others. They were wearing regular armor of the Gangs.
Though they were painted in the Colors of the N7. Though the N7 Strip was replaced with the Cerberus symbol with a yellow stripe. I looked at the stationed YMIR mechs. "EDI How does the Heavy Gun and Launcher on the YMIRs work?"
"They work similarly as the old style weapon only instead of shooting Small pieces of the Metal Block, It shoots larger 'Chunks.'" I stared at them for a minute or two. "How long till we make it Korlus?" "2 hours and 30 minutes. If you wish to upgrade the YMIR you'll need more time." "We'll do that after this mission. But for now, I'll need help taking apart the gun on one of them. Try to shrink it down a bit and make it foldable."
For the rest of the time EDI and I made a new Heavy weapon. The Portable Heavy Machine Gun. Also I found out that Jacob took some initiative and researched his own weapons. Such as the Avalanche, the Arc projector, and the Blackstorm. As well as various other weapons. Not only that he's been making doubles of special weapons.
Though he is still working out how to make the Cain. Soon we we're nearing Korlus, I had Zaeed put on the Newly made Terminus Armor. Said he doesn't need The 'Boost.' I said I wanted him to carry the M-490. He took one look at it and gave me a savage grin.
Meanwhile Garrus manages to get his own armor up and ready, along with Javian. Whose taking a liking to the fact now that he has a new goal. He was wearing his own armor, And checking his Tool for bugs. "Hey Captain, We're entering Korlus space. Best get into the Shuttle.. Er shuttles." I nod, "Thanks Joker. Be sure not to fracture your finger trying mute my new friend." "Oh it's your 'NEW' friend now? I see how it is."
Everyone was using the best equipment that they believed they needed. However I made sure that everyone was carrying a heavy weapon. I was rocking the Mattock, the Phalanx, the Scimitar, the Incisor and the Tempest. I'll be taking out the HMG-420. Yes I dubbed it the 420, cause it'll light you up.
We got on the shuttles and they took off to the planet below. We were making our way to the planet. On the way down I named the 9 that came with us. I called them the M7's Play on N7 and Mech. Their jobs were to follow behind us and pick up the scrap. While also backing us up if we found ourselves in a bind. While the Original 10 were going to split between us and the shuttle duty.
Three for each shuttle, that leaves us with 4. More than enough, to take out Mercs. The ones in the Shuttles will be manning the turrets on them. While also being our eyes in the sky. Soon our shuttles landed with a dull thump. "Let's move people, If it moves it dies, when it dies we move on."
I get a bunch of affirmatives. The Ghost Squad take over one of the shuttles while Warden, Paladin and Terminus take over the other one. "Only the Strong may live in the great army we're making. Those who are weak are to be trampled under our boots."
Javian snorts, "Someone thinks they're important. Better shut them up quickly." We moved on and met little resistance from the Suns, while the M7s followed up with a clean up. Then we met the wounded Sun trooper. "Oh god the bleeding.. It's not stopping." Miranda scoffs, "It's not that bad." I shrugged, "He doesn't need to know that."
I walked up to him, he stared up at us. "Oh fuck me, who the hell are you guys? Special Forces?" I crouch down, "I have a healthy dose of Medigel waiting for you at the Low-Low Price of Information." He stared at me like I was insane.
"What the Fuck? Fine, what do you want to know?" I gave him the dose of Medigel, he got up and stood on the non-wounded leg. "I want to know who's your commander and where is Okeer?" He grimaces, "My Commander is Jedore, she thinks she is creating the greatest army this side of the Terminus. And I don't know who Okeer is."
I look around and see a few Krogan bodies around. "Any reason the Krogan are here?" He shrugs, "Jedore thinks that they'll follow her. But for now they come down from the Main Base." His radio sparks up, "Outpost 34 have you spotted any targets in your area?" He looks at me nervously, I shake my head. "Uh Negative sir." "Alright, we'll move on to the next position." "Copy that. Now what?" I thought about it for a second, "Would you like to change teams?"
Miranda sputters, "Captain, we can't just pick up every soldier we come across." I turned to her, "What about the little mechanized army I'm making?" She shakes her head, I turned back to Trooper. "Well?" He thinks about it. "Will I be shot if I say no?" I shake my head, "No but you will be signing onto a Suidice Mission."
He shrugged, "Let's do it then. But right now I'm not in the best position to help you." One of the M7 walked up and nodded at me. It bore the Red Cross symbol. "Don't worry Captain, I'll take care of him." It had a Women's Voice. "You're in good hands.. Um, your name please? Tomas Blake. You?"
I smiled, "Captain John Shepard." He looked at you in awe. I gesture my head to the path. We moved at a methodical pace. Making sure to take out anybody that comes our way before they alerted Jedore. Soon we met the Imperfect Krogan. We helped him take out the other Suns.
He turns to me, "You, you are not like these ones. You do not smell of them and this world." I stared into the helmet's eyes, "I am Captain Shepard of the SR-2 Normandy. You are a Krogan, where do you come from?" It looked at me, like it was trying to understand what I said.
"I am Krogan, I came from Glass-Mother. The Voice said I was imperfect, so I came down here to fight and guard this place." I nod, "Not anymore Krogan! You're gonna move out to take the fight to the Enemy!" Again it tried to understand but even now I can see the tensing of his muscles. "What Are You?!"
"I am Krogan and I will.. Fight!" "Damn right! Now let's move out." He heads to the wall and picks up the piece of scrap and throws it away. I pat his back and he charges forward. We followed, "Support the Krogan, Ajax Tech Armor, Dante Inferno Rounds, Kestrel Fortification, Tank support him." He literally barreled through the opposition.
We killed our way till we made it all the way up the tower that leads to Okeer's lab. And Rana was there and waiting. "Hello Shepard, I was wondering how long it'll take you to get here." I nod, "And here I thought you didn't make it far enough from the Blast."
She shrugged, "I was lucky to find a small shuttle and I pushed that piece of shit as fast as I could." I smirked at that, "Mind telling me what you're working on?" She looked at the Holo-Screens, "Okeer wanted a teaching algorithm for his pet project. It's supposed to train the New Krogan on how to function. Fighting and the sort. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to leave, before you blow something else up."
I put my arm in front of her, She looked confused for a moment before she grimaced. "After sparing me 2 years ago you're going to do it now?" I shake my head, "Not at all, I'm in need of your expertise?" She arches a brow at me.
"What do you mean?" I shake my head, "Not now. I'll fill you in when I get done with the Old Man." She rolls her eyes, "Will I at least get paid for this venture?" I smiled at her, "Of course." she blushes slightly. One of the shuttles came in. It opened up and there was Blake. Sitting on one of the chairs in the back. He waved.
Rana downloaded everything from her computer and jumped aboard. "Stay nearby, I have a feeling that we'll need you." I open the door that leads into Okeer's Lab. "Ah good, Shepard, about time you made it." He turns and sneers at me.
"Surprise? I thought so.. Every Krogan should know your name." I rolled my eyes, "Let me guess, you approve of the fact that I destroyed the Cloning facility on Virmire." His eyes widened, "You seem to have a better understanding than I thought."
I nodded, "I'm here because you have a connection to the Collectors." He nods in understanding, "Yes, attacks on human colonies have been increasing. I contacted the Collectors for the technology to create My Perfect Krogan." He sneers, "I gave them many Krogan, I nodded, "Then let's get you out of here. Before-" The lights in the room shut down with a thud.
Then we hear Jedore, "We've traced the source of the Krogan. We'll make a clean slate and use the data to start up again." We hear the vents start up. "That fool! She would destroy decades of My work?! Shepard, You need to stop her."
I nodded, "Yes but we're going to negotiate about your Grunt there." He gave me a low growl, "Go I'll prepare him." I nodded and we walked out the other door. "EDI have the Shuttles prepare to lay down cover fire." "Of course, Shepard. Note: I have detected several Mech signatures.'"
"Thanks EDI, Ghost Squad your job is to acquire those mechs. Warden! Focus on Jedore! Krogan!" He turns to me, "Command them!" He turns back to see a bunch of Krogan being deposited out onto the battlefield. He roars, "I AM KROGAN!" They turn to him, "Kill the Her!" They turned and charged after her. With a roar of their own.
The Suns were trampled under foot and gun. We barely had to do anything. "Shepard! Okeers' life-signs are failing, I recommend haste." We ran to him only to find him dead at his console. The screen was playing his message. "Shepard, if I knew what the collectors wanted, I would have told you. But everything they gave me went into my Perfect Krogan. My legacy, Your Grunt." The Krogan came up to me. "He is what the Voice wanted, He's not Imperfect."
I shake my head, "Perfection is not the end result. It is the Work to the end." The M7s walked in and moved to transport Grunt out of here. I I turned back to the Clone Krogan. "You'll need to lead your brothers to Tuchanka. Establish yourselves there."
He looked at me, "No name.. No honor.. No Place." I put my head to his making sure I stared into one of the eye holes. "You are Tankborne. You were born under the Knife and Glass. But you Are Krogan! Gather your brothers, and go to Tuchanka, Protect your land, kill the beasts and make sure you leave the living world scared with your presence!"
"I am Tankborne, You are Clan Chief." I leaned away and saw several other Tankborne walking up to us. "EDI, how many Krogan are on the planet?" "There are 357 Krogan. Not counting the dead or random mercenaries on the planet. Okeer's lab is the only place that clones them. But he has been cloning for the past year and a half."
I smiled, "Go forth and find them. Then head.. Home." They bowed their heads, I bowed back. A half hour later I was back in Normandy's Hanger Bay. Staring at Grunt, who was naked. He was still in the pod, with Rana typing into her Tool. "Can you give me an estimated time-frame?"
She sighs, "A few days, a week at most. I'm surprised you didn't want me to start with your Clone there." I looked over at him, still asleep and on life-support. Stuck in that pod. "I would've liked to, but you've already started on Grunt here."
She shakes her head, "Grunt? Why Grunt anyway?" I chuckled, "In the Alliance Military you start out as a grunt. Lowest of the low. But you can rise up to become something greater. That could mean something like Admiral, or Spectre."
She thinks about it for a moment then nods, "I get that, It's hard when you're at the bottom." After that I went to the newly made workshop and began to shift through the possible Weapon Upgrades and new Designs. Lucky me Jacob is taking care of the minor upgrades while Garrus and Javian are working on tech powers.
Mordin is working on his countermeasures, Rana is working on updating Grunt's 'Brain.' Blake is now fully healed and is now working with Jacob. "EDI can you ask Miranda to head down here?" "Request sent." While I waited on her I sent Jacob and Tom new designs to begin production. Which includes most of ME3 and ME:A Weapons. Though this doesn't include the Geth, Collector or Andromada originals.
I heard a throat being cleared, I turned to see Miranda, "Hello Miranda, I have a few questions. If you don't mind?" She shakes her head, "As long as it is important." "You don't like me do you?" She arches an eyebrow. "Is that what you wanted to ask?"
"No, Let's get this over with. Miranda Lawson, you are the Daughter of Henry Lawson. You have a 'twin' Sister named Oriana, that you saved from him. You sent her to live with a family that is reasonably well off. The only people who are in the know are Lanteia and your childhood friend Niket."
She kept a neutral face as much as possible. "How do you know that? The only other person that knows that much is.." I shook my head, "He didn't tell me, But I can find out with a good enough hack and Extranet search. Not to mention I found out about Oriana cause you were spotted on Illium."
She looked like she was about to fall apart. A carefully guarded secret, and it was just laid out in front of her. "I also know that about Henry because I looked for possible backers for some business ideas that I had." She went over to the spare seat and sat down. "I can only manage what you want for this information to stay quiet."
"We're on a Suidice Mission. I'm not going to blackmail you, I just want you to know that if you need help. I'm here." She looked me dead in the eyes. "Thank you Shepard. I didn't think you would do that." I sighed, "Well now that the hard parts are done. When do we have to pick up Jack?"
She cleared her throat, "We can go pick them up at any time. The Payment won't transfer till we are on our way to the Station." I think for a moment, "Alright, Then we are going to The Citadel. I need to meet with some old friends, gain a new recruit, and hopefully get my Spectre status back."
She nods, "That would be helpful in the long run. But depending on the level of help that they're going to give. It might not be worth it." I shrug, "Won't know till we try." She salutes and heads back up. "You got that EDI?" "Of course, Shepard. Mister Moreau is headed there now. ET: 1 day and 4 hours." I smiled at the Blue Orb that was stationed next to the Workshop.
"I think it is time to get you a new body. Tell me would you like a Human, Salarian, Turian, or better yet Hanar!" "I would like to have a Human body, John." I began to look at the Synthetic-Infiltrator Mech. "Tell me what you want EDI. What kind of unit do you want to be? Light, Medium or Heavy." "I would like to be of Medium build please."
With that I began the process of making a new body for my Cyber-Friend. She helped by pointing out a flaw here or there. Not to mention she has already created a cybersuit for her to use with the body. After about 2 hours, we had a baseline for her body.
Also we manage to get her every weapon that she'll need. Every gun that she has was built with the lightest material. Though she denied the heavy weapons, Stating that it's meant for the heavy units. As she proceeds to design a suit of armor for her. I then realized that she could have biotics.
"EDI Lay over a Human Biotic Nervous System over your Body, hm.. Now an Asari? Similar but not either. Take both of them and create a cluster for the Larger Nodes and link them together with the smaller ones." I access the Extranet and proceed to look up free designs for Biotic amps for Human, Asari and Krogan. Human for the bases, Asari for the Precision and Krogan for the power.
Next was what I call the Icing on the Cake. Her arms were big enough to house Mantiis Blades but that would be kind of redundant because of the Omni-Blade. Gorilla arms were a close second. But I can add those to the standards. There's no need for the Monowire, though making an Omni-Whip would be useful.
"John, you are needed in the Captain's Quarters." Hm? "Really, why?" "Miss Chambers wishes to speak to you." I got up from the chair and rolled my shoulders. "How long till the Citadel?" "We have a full day until we reach the Docking Station." I make my way to my quarters. Once I was there I saw Kelly sitting on the Couch.
"May I help you Miss Chambers." She shakes her head. "No, I'm here to help you. You are in dire need of therapy." I sighed. I went over to the cabinets and pulled out a bottle of Afterlife produced Liquor. "You asked the questions and I'll try to stay coherent enough to answer." She nods and leans back into the couch.
After a few hours of spilling my guts about the whole bullshit of me chasing Saren, Convincing my old gang to do better than me, Stopping the Turian Bastard that was going to use a Nuke to kill me, Denying myself to feel love for Liara. Finding solace in Machines, and the terrible art of War and Death.
By the end of it my head was using her lap as a pillow. I woke up with her sleeping in a sitting position. I got up and she stirred awake. "Oh my, I'm sorry John. I must've lost track of time." My head had a dull ache, "Me too, Sorry about last night. I didn't mean to let all that out." She hugged me, "It's okay, Though I discourage using alcohol as a tool to let the pain out. I know that some people need it."
I got up and popped my back, "EDI can you ask Karin for a pick-me-up?" I turn to Kelly. "I'm going to take a shower and go back to work." She smiles, "I should as well. We can continue this at another date." She heads out and I look at the bottle that I emptied. "I'm Pretty sure that was poisoned."
I got into the shower and proceeded to unfogged my head. "Captain, are you here?" It must be Chakwas. "Yeah I'm in the shower." I heard the door open and I turned to see EDI.. in her New body. "Chakwas has asked me to deliver this bottle of Medicine." Stared at her for a good minute. "Okay, Please put it on my desk."
She heads out the bathroom, I proceed to get dried and changed. EDI was there Standing at in her normal ME3 pose. "EDI, Um, It's considered rude to walk in on someone in the shower." She blinks and then nods. "Also you need to wear clothing. Uniform or.. Hell a Toga." She nods again. "It was not my objective to cause discomfort." I shake my head, "Go find yourself a proper uniform. And make sure you're ready for combat." With that she walks out, And I'm left with questions. Based on the game but set in the real world? "Oh fuck Me sideways."
