Journal Entry #7
Hangover…..ugh.
I met with Nassania on the Presidium. She said her sister has been kidnapped by mercs to whom she paid a ransom only to get stiffed (Did it not occur to these idiot mercs that she has the resources to trace the payment and find them? The only thing worse than evil f*cksticks is STUPID evil f*cksticks) However, since Nassania didn’t notify the council, this would put her in a political sh*tstorm (and the unemployment line) so she needs this resolved quietly. Hell she was just trying to protect her family. I felt sorry for her so I just added this one to the growing Spectre Sh*t To Do List.
On the way to my meeting with Admiral Kahoku, I was stopped by a Helen Blake who offered me yet another “job”. Long story short, this woman had the quad to ask me to take out her competition so she could take over their crime syndicate and justified it by saying she would not be dealing in the sketchy things like red sand that the current management is. I’m to take out their bases in the Han and Dis systems and then meet her in Fortuna. I’m going along with her so I can get rid of these drug dealing, slave trading f**kers but there’s no way I’m letting her walk away when it’s done (We are actually entering the Dis system as I write this).
The Admiral took the bad news as well as could be expected. He is going to take care of notifying the families and will get back to me if he finds out any information about the f**kers that set up that fake distress signal.
On our way back to the docking area, I ran into this poor schmuck who’s brother’s ship has gone missing. I told him I’d look into it (it’s on the way to where we’re going anyway).
After we finally got off of the Citadel, we headed for Trebin to look into a missing Exogeni survey team. After touching down and poking around a bit, Liara, Garrus and I found ourselves at an excavation site…….that became a freaking horror show. We were swarmed by waves and waves of these husk things that I think used to be the survey team. Jesus jumpin’ Christ on a rubber crutch what the hell is Exogeni into? Is this related to Saren and the Geth? I didn’t expect a battle of that magnitude on this mission. Thank goodness Liara is tougher than she looks and can do something besides cower (like she did on Therum). Even more on the plus side her biotics are uber powerful but I still had to save her ass at least three times.
Shortly after extracting ourselves from that mess I hear from Admiral Hackett (again). A Chairman Burns had been taken hostage by some militant biotics on the Ontario. Since we were in the area, Hackett “asked” that we take care of it and that rescuing Burns alive was a secondary objective to taking down the terrorists. I figured we’d need heavy hitters for this assignment so Wrex, Ashley and me boarded the Ontario. We were attacked by Biotics within minutes (why do human biotics always feel the need to scream “I will destroy you!” during a battle? Great, claim it all you want, here’s some lead between your eyes. You were saying? Yeah that’s what I thought………okay I digress). We fought our way through the ship pretty easily (My new Spectre issue pistol is just wrecking everything. I have it loaded with these polonium rounds that just melts baddies into this disgusting green goo…….that ends up all over my boots. ICK!) to a back room where a handful of biotics were holed up with the apparent ring leader holding a gun to the Chairman’s head. We were pretty exposed and out numbered so I considered shooting the hostage myself which would surely have frozen those amateurs for the moment we’d need for Wrex, Ash and I to put them down. Surprisingly I was able to talk the leader down. Not sure how I did it but it must have had something to do with my stunning good looks and winning personality.
Actually I think I called him an idiot in not so many words. Whatever, Hackett did a happy dance at the favorable result.
Back on the Normandy, I got a strange message from Admiral Kahoku. He found evidence that Cerberus (those f**kers again!) was behind the false signal and that they were into some sick experiments. He sounded scared, said he was going off the grid because they were after him. Before signing off, he gave the coordinates to their facility.
I look forward to burning it to the ground.
One sec, have a call……..
…….That was Admiral Hackett. He called to inform me about my news story running….and that I came off every bit as lame as I suspected (Gee thanks a million pal). You know what? Screw it. I’m a Spectre now so I don’t HAVE to be Rhynne The Fembot Uber Professional Alliance Soldier twenty four hours a day. If that smarmy b*tch tries me again, I’m going to knock her the f*ck out.
As far as the crew, Tali is a bit melancholy (home sickness), Liara is pretty broken up about her mother, Ashley still has a stick up her ass and f*cking Kaiden continues to look at me with puppy dog eyes. He needs to cut it out……or not…….or…..just do something for f*ck sake.
Whatever, only three things matter at the moment.
1.We’re almost to our destination in the Dis System.
2. I’m in a very b*tchy mood.
3. I don’t think there will be any mercs taken prisoner today.
