Mass Effect 4
Act 2: The End of the old Life
Chapter 2: One always has a choice


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(( Listen to this in you´r backround ))

*A peaceful picture is seen: High up in the clouds of Illium the setting sun shines through a window and gives in this way the Skyline of the big Capital its natural Charm, while being accentuated by the traffic lines of the flying cars. Slowly the noise of the monitor is heard in a rhythm sequence. The lines on the screen create thereby a small zigzag course, while the air in a small capsule constricts, before the breathing apparatus pumps in fresh air. The body is relaxed, on it is a blanket as well like a typical tunic like it is known from hospitals. Many cables and tubes are hanging on the figure and only the left forefinger inches unnoticeable, followed by a quiet beeping on one of the monitors. The eyelids, which are dip-painted in dark colors, which in turn contrast to the remaining blue skin, open up slowly, but its sight is still quite blurry and can't recognize the surroundings for few minutes. The eyes focus on something: It looks like a ghost, engulfed in a white layer and it is coming closer to the Asari, who raises her right hand weakly.* "N…no, go awa…" *she babbles whereby the hands of the blurry figure grab her raised hand to encompass it gently and pressing it down again.* "Relax, everything will be alright." *the Asari hears, but also only so blurry, while her hand is back on the bed. Although she believes to see a woman, she can only see a shape of a 'her'. The woman is standing in front of the gadgets beside the Asari, spins and types on them, before starting to remove the cables and tubes carefully one after another. The picture of the Asari begins to get better and her surroundings begin to become visible for her. She tries to move again, but it gets stopped immediately by the stranger. Only her hands are visible for the Asari: dark-green, scaly hands, whereby the palms are lighter. The white stuff turns out to be a doctors cloak and below it normal clothes, which are known to be worn most often by lab assistants or employees of "these" times. At the end the Asari can see the face, which is also different in its colors: a little bit dark-green, a little bit light green scales, black eyes, which are  characterized by the two clapping eyelids, horizontal and vertical. The figure is recognizable completely now for the Asari: a Drell, to be precise a female Drell, which gets inspected still for a while to be sure, because female Drell have, different from male ones, no spiky bulges of the bones, which extend themselves back till to the neck only to extend further down. Instead the female ones have a smooth skin, in the face, and not before further below the Drell-typical 'lappets' are found to characterize the lower sections of the face of this species.*


"Who…are you?" *the Asari murmurs only very quietly and gets the answer.* "My name is Relis Azkar, Doctor in the service of Eclipse and you are Elaine Kysaek, my current patient. I treat you for around three weeks already and it looked quite bad for some time, but it seems that your Goddess doesn't want that you leave the galaxy already." *The corner of her mouth moves a bit, but the pain is felt quite obviously now, after Kysaek has woken up. She tries to sit up.* "Not too much movement. Your body has not moved for almost three weeks…your muscles are weakened that's why lightly. So it would be better, when you start off slow." *Relis says moving a hand on Kysaek thereby to control her speed by sitting up in this way, while the upper body of the Asari sits up slowly. Now she sits up in her bed…partially.* "I don't know…what happened?" *she coughs shortly.* "I can remember only schemes…a Gunship…on a roof and then…a huge explosion…" *Elaine grabs her forehead and in this way her right arm gets in sight: light combustions on the lower part.* "Yes, your memories are correct: chased by PGI, the police, you got surrounded on a roof of a skyscraper and also defeated there." *the Drell replies shortly summarizing everything, with a typical "analytical" doctor voice. Thereby she takes her hand away from Kysaek, who does the same from her forehead to lay the arms in her womb.*


"And how exactly…I got here?" *she asks, still quite quiet, while the Drell pulls out a capsule first – looking similar to a Medi-gel, but there for the surface is out of glass and the liquid inside is a different one. Relis moves forward a bit, lays down her hand on Kysaek's free back to position the capsule on the lower section of the back and inject the liquid, what leads to a painful moan of the Asari and a weak tensing up.* "Do you want to kill me?!" *Kysaek hisses finally a little bit louder, but the Drell replies calmly.*  "That was against the inflammation on your stomach. The tissue simply didn't want to heal up…but by now it could recover and regarding your question…" *the Drell interrupts for a moment to reposition herself away from Kysaek's back.* "You got picked up by this Cell, the Sisterhood of Eclipse with the Leader Captain Thais Sapto." *Kysaek turns around her head slowly to Relis looking quite confused. * "Thais Sapto…the sister of Dilèn Sapto?" *The doctor nods.* "That's right." *Slowly Elaine turns around her lower body; her feet leave the bed and hang over the edge, whereby Relis warns again.* "Slowly …when you stand up with your feet now, you will collapse instantly, with the face ahead." *The Asari stops her movement, while the feet are still hanging over the edge and her upper body is still stable, despite a small trembling.* "I will remember this…but why am I here?" *Elaine whispers back.* "I think that the Captain will want to tell it you herself. I will give a word to her that you have woken up. So please wait here." *The Drell leaves the room, while Kysaek stays in her position, looking around only. Nothing extraordinary, only a typical sickroom for one person. The orange light of the Skyline appears from one big window and shines on the right half of the body of the Asari thereby, who checks herself.* "I feel like being vomited and that at least three times…" *she thinks, still mugging, above all when she touches the area around her ribs and stomach. She puts her feet down carefully and begins to strain them lightly.* "That feels like butter…" *she gnashes her teeth and stays sitting, while straining the legs from time to time. She disposes her tunic, which covers her front and lets it float to the ground. The head lowers a bit and her eyes look at her body.* "Lick my…" *she curses shocked: The body is teemed with bruises and they sting, but they are nothing against the big scar on her left side or the lightly inflamed skin, which is found over her belly. Immediately the Asari checks this area.* "Don't worry, the doctor say this will heal almost completely…" *is heard in the room accompanied by the noise of an opening door.* "I personally have nothing against a few bruises and the one or another scar. It shows that someone has a history." *Kysaek's head gets straight again and follows the a bit deeper voice, before seeing an Asari, who is at least a whole head higher than Kysaek, wearing an overall suit, which is at the front black and at the sides with yellow stripes. The clothes don't allow much space for fantasy and reveals a strong body-build, not talking about her chest. But at the end Kysaek reaches the face and sees the dark violet skin color, which looks a little bit striking, but also strict and is characterized by a tattoo in her face, which is completely white.*


((This picture shows  the tattoo. The suit looks like Morniths 

*The left side of the hair cartilage is also colored till its peaky ends, but this time in orange, what seems to look like a flame almost. The green eyes stay at Kysaek's face and the Asari speaks slowly.* "Are you ready?" *Kysaek blinks several times during and after the question before asking.* "Thais?" *who nods after this saying.* "Exactly." *She crosses her arms and leans against a small cupboard. She doesn't look embarrassed to see Elaine completely nude. "How are you?" Thais asks, while Elaine touches along her hair cartilage.* "Well…I believe that needs to be the feeling when a roller rolled over you and taking this ten times more." *Kysaek coughs, while Thais body is as stiff as her look.* "I see…" *Thais replies and Elaine looks again in her eyes.* "The Drell said, you could say me, what I am doing here…and maybe in general,…you saved me?" *Calmly Thais replies.* "My unit has reached you in the last possible moment. To find you was quite difficult…until we tapped the radio of the police and PGI." *she makes a break.* "But before I say you the what or why…wait still, because the doctor said to me, that you are still full of drugs…half of it you would forget."


*Elaine strains her feet more and her body rises really slow, although it is seen immediately that her legs tremble, but still she accomplishes to stand up straight and stay in this position*. "Before you take you first steps outside, you should dress in something first. My girls should work after all and not get distracted." *with these words Thais points out to the small dresser, on which several folded clothes are found. Kysaek supports herself on a bedpost and goes slowly to the dresser, still really flabby on her legs, while Thais doesn't give any signs to help her.* "You can move around in our base freely. Eat something, brace yourself and later we talk. You don't need to worry either, here you are safe…for now." *Thais adds still to her sentence, while pushing her away from the small cupboard, tapping on Kysaek's right shoulder, who is already by the dresser with her fresh clothes. Thais leaves the room then, while Kysaek stares at the clothes, before bending down her legs a little to kneel down in front of the dresser. She hits her forehead with the left palm, growling.* "Someone I will kick in the a-ss for this." *She begins to take every piece of cloth, which is nothing extraordinary: underwear, shoes as well like a long-sleeved Shirt and latex pants.*(( I simply don't know which material they use in Mass Effect for the pants, so I call it Latex for now.))

*The Asari has certain problems to dress up, always struggling on the ground, because she can't stand rightly again – this looks probably quite hilarious. She forces herself piece by piece in the pants, as well like the shirt – both in colors of Eclipse, with their logo at the front. The longer Kysaek moves around, the easier it gets for her and her body adapts to it. She gets on her feet again with the help of the dresser, before beginning to go slowly, always searching for support, but finally she opens the door and enters a quite big room, which she inspects more precisely. It seems that nothing is going on here, while she sees single persons of various species – all of them women and in uniform of the Eclipse Sisterhood – and before her eyes stay on few corridors with signs like these: Main Hangar, Canteen, Secondary Hangar, Armory, Quarters, and Command Center. Still her movements are slow, but she heads for the canteen first.* "I could eat a whole Tresher Maw now…what have they given me, when I was hors de combat?" *she thinks to herself, while pulling her pants up a bit, which rebounds.* "I bet I lost at least 5 or 10 kilo." *She grins weakly, while she passes from time to time some Mech, one time armed, one time not or wearing a box.Almost twenty minutes pass before the Asari reaches the canteen, breathing in thereby visible through her tightening nasal wings.* "Mhhnhhrr this smells so delicious…" *she drools almost, before opening the door, which leads to the canteen: a partially big room with few tables, where also almost no one is seen. On one table a handful of women are sitting, while the food  distribution is occupied by a Mech, to who Kysaek is coming closer now. She takes a tray and puts it down on a metal rail found in front of panes. She begins to go along the front now, looking at each one after another and she finds various soups, salads, fish dishes, meat dishes, bread and much more.* "I can't make up my mind…everything smells and looks so good…I take from everything something." *she murmurs to the Mech then, which takes one after another dish on her tray, which looks more than overfilled, but what doesn't seem to bother Kysaek really.


The Asari wants to sit down on one of the tables more at the front, but the table group waves her nearer.* "We don't bite." *one of the women says, but Kysaek hesitates a whole moment, before she decides to go there sitting down beside them. She looks at each of them: A female Quarian, a female human, a female Salarian and female Krogan.* "Hahaha, have you left something for the others?" *the Krogan laughs throatily, while Kysaek has the first bite in the mouth and nods only for a moment, although manners are not visible thereby.*"Interesting…her eating habits remember me of our quarian friend here, when she was for too long in her suit and has not got a liquid diet." *the Salarian speaks with a little bit fast voice, whereupon the Quarian sighs through her helmet.* "At least my ancestors have not eaten flies…" *Everyone on the tables begin to laugh, except the Salarian and Kysaek, whose mouth is completely filled and that's why she gulps more than she eats. The Salarian on the other hand stays calm and answers.* "Evolution and wasn't it said by the humans: 'In default of a soul the devil puts up with a fly.'?" *Thereby she looks at the human, who shakes her head.* "You shouldn't take such things literally…" "But why should such sentences be invented, when not someone tries to turn it to real? I only wanted to implement with this that maybe everyone is in the situation some day to eat flies." *the Salarian adds, what leads to coughing by Kysaek. Probably she has choked on her devouring, but it ends quite fast, when the female Krogan lunges her big paw and hits with it on her back, what leads to the fact, that Kysaek spits out the piece of meat, gasping.* "You have survived the Gunship. It would be a shame, if you would die cause of a piece of meat." *the Krogan grins and Kysaek looks upwards.* "I don't know what you have done to me, but I feel, if a black hole would be in my stomach…and from where do you know from the Gunship?" *the Asari asks eating slower now.* "I was there, but also the others know about it…" "Okay…okay…even when I am after Thais' opinion still full of drugs, could you tell me what is going on here?" *Kysaek asks smacking loudly, but everyone shakes their head.* "Sorry dear, we only know that we should keep you here…the Captain has her reasons normally." *the Krogan replies again a little bit rough. "Well… okay …then I visit her after finishing my meal." Elaine replies, before ripping apart a piece of the bread. The Quarian comments this: "Right now she is busy and it will last still a while." *Kysaek nods only and turns back to her tray, keeping the silence now and not listening to the conversation of the women anymore. After some time they leave the table and Kysaek stays alone with her thoughts.* "Slowly the memories come back…some **** has happened by PGI and then these pigs have chased me, as well like the Cops. I have run and run until I was on this roof…have killed some soldiers, but then this damn Gunship has shot the whole nine yards at me…and yes, yes I remember weakly, that suddenly figures appeared…and then it ends." *she grumbles mentally, while her tray is almost completely empty already. The Asari allows herself to lean back and rubs her belly, before she gets up after a while and ditches the rest of her meal. She is much steadier on her legs now, while leaving the canteen crossing her arms on her head.Kysaek reaches the big room again – it seems to be something like a central point in this facility or at least one can assume this. The Asari needs a moment, before she decides to go to the Secondary Hangar still holding her hands on her head. Her body has adapted already to moving, while she whistles going forward thereby. Finally she enters a room via the long corridor, which looks clearly like a docking bay for Shuttles and Gunships and it allows the Asari to have a wonderful view on Illium, while the big hall is also dip-painted in the smooth red sunset.

((switch of the Track off, turn this one on:) ))

It seems to be a little bit messy, more like in a workshop of an inventor: Everywhere are found pieces and opened boxes, while in the background music is played. Kysaek hears the noise of a welder and also of a drill, but she can't see anybody. She comes closer to a Gunship, which stands out between the other ones: a little bit varnished with lettering on the wings and apparently the source of the noise. On it is someone who welds and below someone who screws, both Salarians. Elaine crosses her arms to look at it for a while until the Salarian below the Gunship notices the Asari and begins to go to her. She stops in front of her and speaks in the usual fast tone.* "Ah our guest has…"; "…woken up and seems to be…"; "…full of beans."

*Two voices speak alternately – audible that they are females obviously now –whereby the second one jumps down from above and lands beside the first one.* "I know that Salarians look identically anyway…but I bet my ass that you two are twins." *thinks Kysaek, while looking at both of them. They have a lighter red skin, characterized with white pigments.* "It seems that she is voiceless…" ; "…or maybe even gormless?" ; "That was  not nice sister." ; "No, but the rhyme fitted, I think." *The Asari raises her hands.* "Okay, okay, with who I have the pleasure?" *she asks calmly, while she inspects both more precisely: the left one wears an overall, the right as well, although she has hers open and the straps are hanging down and a dirty shirt is revealed beneath it. The left points at herself then.* "I am Dios…" *she says while the right one points at herself.* "I am Kuren…" *and the next is spoken simultaneously, while pointing at them in this moment.* "And we are the best pilots of the galaxy." "Okay …maybe these are the drugs, but are you doing this on purpose?" *Dios shakes her head, while Kuren laughs amused.* "Purpose? Which purpose?" *Dios shrugs herself.* "Many ask us this, but we never know what they mean. How the humans put it? Simply a…" *Kuren: "…hangover." Dios: "Enough with the jokes that is one of the twin skills…our thoughts are at…"Kuren: "…one often and that's why…"Dios: "…we are so good." *Now the Asari needs to smirk.* "Good, I admit…that is really funny, but when I grin even more, I bet my seams will rip for sure and I will have an even stronger stiffness." she makes a break, "And you two are pilots?" *A node of both Salarians follow. Dios.* "The best of the galaxy." *Kuren.* "And regarding our short lifespan this should tell you something." *Elaine allows her shoulders to move in circles a bit.* "Maybe I will see your skills one day." *Dios puts her hand on her chin, Kuren hers on her hips. Together:* "Possible. But now we need to continue." *whereupon Kysaek nods shortly and both Salarians continue working. On the other hand Kysaek turns away and leaves the Secondary Hangar then, reaching the big room again, sighing quietly.* "I feel lost here a little bit." *
((Now you can switch off the music. )


*Not really knowing where to go now, Kysaek sits down on the edge of a small wall, looking thereby in the deep of the darkness, which is found in the urban canyon.* "By the Goddess…I could benefit of a **** right now." *she says to herself, leaning back a little bit and closing her eyes thereby, not noticing that in front of her face is the end of a cigarette now. It edges out of the box, which is held by Relis Azkar. It lasts few moments, before Kysaek notices the Drell and blinks several times after this. Then she grabs a **** out of the box with one hand and sticks it in the mouth getting fire from Relis.* "Normally I would say as a doctor, that smoking is not healthy …but…" *she interrupts for a moment and takes also a cigarette, before igniting it.* "Everyone has his vices…and you should not sit so close to the edge. The drugs are still active and you could lose your balance only to fall down into the abyss."*Kysaek takes a deep drag and blows the smoke out after this, with an appreciate voice. "I believe in my current condition this would be all the same, or not?"* Relis looks to Kysaek and looks a little bit angry.* "And all the work with you of the last weeks would be thrown away so simply? For you it would be the easiest way for sure…but then all my effort would have been meaningless." T*he Asari shoves her body back to solid ground, before pushing herself away from the wall. She puts her left hand to the right elbow, while the right hand – with the cigarette – goes to her mouth.* "I am still clueless…and you shouldn't take my chatter serious, but shortly before my hospitalization, it looked really s-hitty for me." *Relis looks at the Asari for a moment, before raising her left arm and activating her Omni-Tool. She opens a data, a recording like it seems.* "I think it would be best, when you are a bit up-to-date…watch this…" *the doctor says, blowing out her smoke, while the recording starts playing, forcing Kysaek to watch.*


*A familiar face is projected on the screen: the newscaster of IGN in her typical posture with a Datapad in front of her body*. "Still the terror overruns the districts of the Capital of Illium. At today's evening there has been increased numbers of accidents, attacks with explosive chemicals, brutal arguments with weapons and Biotic, but also homicides. Responsible for this is solely and alone the Asari Elaine Kysaek, who had no regards to kill several Security agents of PGI, as well like police officers during her escape. During the ongoing investigations the picture regarding her becomes clearer and clearer: Surprising finds in her apartment give information on her criminal and terroristic scheming. The police announced that they have found Reaper-Tech in her apartment. What exactly the refugee has planned with this is still unknown, but the speculations go so far, that they see a connection between the attack on PGI, to steal there valuable technologies and with this and the Reaper-Tech to construct dangerous weapons. After her disappearance – although it is still unknown if she was killed already or only went underground – the police forces as well like PGI's have doubled their bounties regarding the arrest of the Asari. Even representatives of the Citadel Government, which are presentfor a short visiting on Illium, have condemned the still ongoing wave of terror, if it is from Neo-Cerberus or through such individuals like Elaine Kysaek. They praised simultaneously the engagement of PGI with these words: 'Companies, which spare no expenses nor efforts, so that everyone can live in peace, can be sure of the attention and thanks of the Citadel." *Relis switches the recording off, before pulling her arm back. Kysaek on the other hand looks really depressed once again.* "This report is around three weeks old." *Relis adds, while the Asari flips half of the cigarette to the ground.* "This makes me sick. Do you believe this, Doctor Azkar?" *The Drell lays down a hand on the shoulder of the Asari.* "I can for sure understand the stress – above all the one which burdens your physical nature right now – but like the Captain told you already, here you are safe for now…what leads me also to these news." *she coughs slightly.* "The Captain want to see you." *On these words Kysaek nods, but asks then: "And where will I find Thais?" *The Drell points to the right, to the corridor with the lettering.* "Command Center" "She is there." *she adds and Elaine nods only before saying quietly.* "Thanks Doctor." *The Drell smiles a moment and nods.* "No trouble at all."


*The first door opens, while Kysaek goes along the long corridor. After some time she reaches a second door, in front of which two Mechs are standing, armed with assault rifles. The Asari stops there for a moment, until the door opens and via intercom is heard.* "Come in." *The woman follows the invitation and passes the door, which closes behind her. She is now in semi-dark room, which is dip-painted in blue light lightly, riddled with various electronic gadgets, computers, camera screens and even a quantum entanglement based communications array. At the end of the room – at a bigger table – is standing Thais with the back directed to Kysaek, the hands on her back. Elaine comes closer slowly and stops still a few meters away from Thais. Slowly Thais turns around and looks at Elaine, the face still with a certain strictness, but also experience.* "I am direct and don't beat around the bush for long, so let us get to the point." *she makes a short break.* "You have big trouble and still are asking us, why we have saved you." *Elaine nods thereupon, but keeps silent – probably to not interrupt Thais.* "First let me say you, that it has nothing to do that you know my sister and helped her even…although I need to add, that I still grant you this and it gave a certain bigger motivation to find you." *during these words Thais waves with her right hand.* "But what I will tell you now, should not leave this room…although I don't believe that you will spread it." *Kysaek tightens her eyes a bit, what is quite good visible, because the forehead forms wrinkles, characterized by bruises.* "Normally you would have been a found bounty for Eclipse, but this Cell is under my command and every Cell works to some degree independently, except for orders, which come from the Top." *she coughs slightly.* "Not long ago few persons stepped to me and asked for our help, although it can be called making a deal. It was nothing extraordinary: weapons, Mechs, stimulants and other equipment, but I personally want to know always with who I trade. The public calls them terrorists, but I would call them rather freedom fighters, Truth Finders, Seekers…yeah this fits more to them. They wanted to bust PGI, which, although not many know of it – at least as much as I know and you have seen probably – works quite much with Reaper-Tech…not in a small frame that is sure." Kysaek nods again and adds.* "Then this all, what I have seen, was really Reaper-Tech? …Damn it." *Thais crosses her arms and gets more serious with her voice.* "That's right. Eclipse trades with it as well, whereby I try to prevent to trade with these as long as it is possible, except it is ordered from the top. And let me say you a thing…no matter from where you have got this, what they have found…you are a really stupid ****." *Elaine grumbles loudly, but doesn't say anything to this, while Thais continues.* "Don't get me wrong. I am no heroine or savior. I don't give a damn normally what others do, but I have seen during the Reaper War enough, to condemn this, whatever PGI is doing there and you are a valuable witness…that's why I thought it was worth saving you."*Kysaek takes few steps around Thais and the table.*"Witness? What should I say then? I have seen shining stuff in some laboratories, which doesn't exist anymore? For sure I am a valuable witness." Elaine replies sarcastically and loudly, but the other Asari keeps her voice down. "Looked at it in this light you are right, but look at it this way…when you don't lead off the fight, you will be chased so long, until they get you or the Cops or any Bounty Hunter or who else will come there still only the Goddess knows." *The fingers of Kysaek type along the table.* "And how exactly one can win a fight against a galaxy wide company, which has billions of Credits and thousands of soldiers at its disposal?" she says harshly, while Thais still doesn't change the volume of her voice.* "If I have learned a thing during my whole life…every enemy can fall and you are not alone." *Thais gets calmer a bit, after she has spoken this sentence. Kysaek looks a little bit startled.* "How do you mean this? Not alone? Should I join the Seekers?" *The other Asari shakes her head instantly.* "No…they don't exist anymore. Dead or captured or escaped…but I am still there and my girls as well." *Elaine raises her right hand.* "You and your girls? What should this mean?" *The Captain sits down on one of the chairs, looking more relaxed now.* "That means, that I am offering you to join the Sisterhood of Eclipse. Of course with false ID, but there for you could move around freely for now and would be safe here." she says and Kysaek replies immediately.* "I should join the Sisterhood? Does this include also the Initiation to commit a murder?" *Sapto shakes her right hand around. "That's right…but few do it too subtle…maybe you know someone who deserves an early death…a thug, a criminal…I hope you get what I mean." *The teeth gnash a little bit and Elaine doesn't look happy.* "Have I a choice?" *Immediately Thais looks even stricter than before.* "You are young…but remember a thing: One always has a choice…even you, right now. You can join the Sisterhood, but you can also go simply or you can blow your brain out. You can also go into prison…most never see, that they have a mountain of possibilities." *To underline her words, Thais lets her right palm hammer against the table. Kysaek keeps silent for a while.* "In a certain perspective you are right…but you said, you are no heroine, no savior, but what should I be then, when I lead off the fight with your help…what are we then?" *Smirking and laughing shortly, Thais puts off, after she has heard these words.* "You can call it your 'Pursuit for Justice' or 'Revenge on PGI',…revenge for the ones, who are dead. But also you can call yourself a heroine or simply Elaine…Elaine Kysaek, who fights this battle, because she has no choice. It is your choice." *Now Elaine keeps silent for minutes, while her thoughts churn. Her mien tells it: She hesitates very long, goes through every possibility: Escape from Illium, Sole Run against PGI, Suicide, Prison and many other possibilities, but finally she raises her eyes and speaks slowly.* "Okay…I join Eclipse and we will see what will happen." *Thais puts her hands on the edge of the table, shoves herself and the chair back a bit, to stand up and go around the table. She stops in front of Kysaek, stretching out her right arm and a silent, but meaningful handshake follows between the two, eyes looking at eyes….*

Act II: The End of the old Life
Chapter III: The Sisterhood of Eclipse


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



((Listen to this in you´r background  ))
*An almost not hearable buzzing is noticed, the metal walls vibrate, while a sound makes over and over again in rhythmic breaks.* Ding, Ding, Ding…*The eyes of the man are directed stiffly at the door and he doesn't allow himself to look at the number of floors, which the lift passes, a single time. The hands are folded together on the belly, wearing a uniform, but which consists out of a fabric, no armor and also there is seen the logo of PGI on the right upper chest side.*

*The whole thing lasts still few minutes, before.* "PGI – Seat of the Chairman reached" *is heard. The door opens and the man passes through it carefully, only to enter one single big room, which looks from the perspective of the material so expensive like a small village: No simple metal, upper-class stone, holographic walls, which change the picture from one moment to another; this time a jungle world or at least something with a lush Flora and Fauna. A little bit it seems, like in a better movie: classic music is heard, even small fountains and rivers are found on this floor, which the man passes slowly, following the lines on the ground. He notices even every camera, spring gun and Hyper-Mech despite the excellent disguise. The feet stop, when the man reaches a very big checkpoint, which is found few steps higher in front of a broad window facade, through which is seen the whole midday Skyline of Illium. On the left side is seen a thin, lanky figure not very well. When the figure notices his guest, it turns around and steps the stairs down, obvious quite fast that it is a Salarian in a genteel suit and many known out of his countless commercials. He is characterized by his dark, scaly skin and his name is obviously Skarg Peeks, who is coming closer to the older man, whose face could tell the one or another story: It is Kysaek's old boss, Phonor. The right arm stretches out forward and the three fingers of the Salarian closes around the hand of the human.* "Douglas Phonor, pleased to meet you. Skarg Peeks." *the Salarian says in a gentle and slow pitch.* "Pleased as well, Sir." *Phonor replies adding instantly.* "What can I do for our boss?" *The hand of the PGI-Boss slides back and he positions his arms on his back, before going to his panel, which is nothing different than a huge desk at bottom. He speaks during this.* "A man of few words and focused….I like this, Mr. Phonor. And you will be not disappointed." *For Peeks not visible, Phonor nods quietly, while the Salarian continues talking.*

((So that you have a clue of Phonor's appearance and in a way his attitude, I like the character "Colonel Miles Quaritch" from the movie Avatar.))



"I have read your dossier: Long period of service in the Forces, Special Units and in the Reaper War you have done much remarkable in the N7 Special Ops. You certainly shouldn't see this as an insult, but it was incomprehensible for me to understand why you were only a Security-Chief-1…and then 3. But because of the unfortunately incident I was busy to check the personnel files of everyone, while dismissing the responsible clerk in charge and I will allocate you with a new mission…and I guarantee you that it will prove to be worth a man of your class." *The PGI-Boss sits down in his, only by looking at it, quite comfortable chair, putting down his arms in the armrests, before leaning back in the leather.

((So that you know how this desk looks like, look for

It is the same used by President Shinra from Final Fantasy VII. The one of Peeks looks similar, but bigger and in
Mass Effect Style. )

"And about what mission we are talking here?" *Phonor asks in a military pitch. Peeks swings with his left hand for a moment.* "This terrible attack on our company grounds let me realize, that we were too careless and that's why, we will increase our Security Department…no, even more, it will be upgraded completely from scratch." *he says before stopping for a while.* "For that purpose we recruit old served and former N7-Soldiers, the best mercenaries and others, from which one can say, that they are the best."

*Phonor crosses his arms, while even through the uniform and this slight tension the divined mountain of muscles is seen.* "And what does this exactly mean for me, Sir?" *The Salarian types on his panel, to project in front of his desk few data – seemingly files.* "You have worked in person with the fugitive, Mastermind Elaine Kysaek. On the one hand you know her and on the other she is responsible for the elimination of your Team. I think you are more than suitable for eliminating this person." *Phonor grimaces lightly.* "I would have never imagined that this Asari s-lut would be able to do something like this…or even has something to do with such things." *the man grumbles and Peeks replies.* "Well, then you have the possibility to correct your mistake…you can form your own team with these files and will be hunting her to eliminate the Asari as your main mission in the future."*Douglas relaxes a bit.* "That sounds really good, Sir." *the man says, while Peeks on the other side stands up again, deactivates the projection and reaches out with his hand again. Phonor does a handshake.* "I am sure you will get the Asari."
((Now you can switch off the music.))



*Hours later, after the new plans of the PGI-Boss are proceeding, Kysaek has positioned her elbows on her knees, her hands one above the other folded, while her body gets shaken through light tremors caused by the Shuttle. Opposite of her Thais is sitting with crossed legs and arms, what probably leads to the conclusion, that her armor is quite flexible.* "It was not exactly easy to find these two…" *Thais says and nods before adding, "…but fortunately Dilèn has caught one of the prenames and in this way it was only a matter of time." "Yeah, what a luck, what?" *Kysaek replies murmuring, but still looks tensed.* "How is Dilèn?" *Elaine asks and Thais raises her left hand shortly.* "Good…but I hope you still understand, that I have not told her anything about you, otherwise they get on to the track of us maybe through my sister and I have no desire that this happens." *she speaks in her usual strictness, while Kysaek leans back in her seat. She wears an armor of Eclipse – like it is usual for organizations of that kind – but there for probably a standard model.* "Yeah, I can understand this…" *she nods to Thais, who leans forward.* "Although this doesn't belong to the initiation…you have my absolute sympathy to take these guys…off the streets." *Sapto smirks a moment. "Well on one side this is revenge for me…but also justice for others." *Kysaek says, but gets interrupted from an announcement.* "Captain, we have reached the district." *is one thing heard via radio and the other.* "I am curious about the Upgrades.", obviously from Dios. Kuren answers thereupon.* "I am curious if you can handle them."Dios: "You need only to fly and I work with the complicated Tech of our Gunship." Kuren: "Only flying? But that implies that I can't do anything different, what is de facto complete rubbish, because I was the one who has installed most of the upgrades."Dios: "And who has calibrated them?" Dios & Kuren: "Me." Kuren: "No me." Dios: "No me!" Kuren: "No me!" Dios: "No me!" *But then via radio is heard.* "Enough now, girls!" *from Thais in a harsh voice. In the same moment Thais stands up and grabs the retainers at the roof of the Shuttle – to not fall over – while the UT-49 Shuttle gets lower and lands finally at the higher Levels of Illium – again a neighborhood – and while the Gunship of the Twins circuits around the Shuttle. The side door opens and Thais gets out first, followed by Kysaek and no one else, before the door closes again and the Shuttles leaves the ground to meet with the Gunship and together to leave the area.* "Expect new orders and a picking point later." *Thais explains via radio, while Kysaek puts her helmet on. Thais on the other side runs forward already a bit, followed after a moment by Kysaek, who lines up behind her then.*


((Ring,Ring, new Music! ))
*Both pass a door and reach a public open space in this Level, more below a clear sky than roofed and still quite lively, because the evening has started few moments ago. A picture like it is known from Illium: Many species, Volus who trade, as well like Asari, Turians who sit at a café together with Salarians and many more.* "I like Illium, above all at evening…this gentle red at the evening sky is even more beautiful than on Thessia." *Sapto says, muffled by her helmet, whereupon Elaine replies.* "I am here not longer than few years still and Thessia I know more as a scene of devastation, than as a beautiful planet…like I have seen on photos and movies. Not just before my departure I saw the beauty of this planet, although there were probably changes. It seemed to be more artificial, not natural anymore…what we owe probably to the Defense Net."*Both rush through the crowd carefully.* "Thessia was really the Jewel of the Galaxy and I thought also, that it would stay this way forever…but 35 years ago, I needed to realize that this was not the case…no even more, call it a wakening call in my life.", *Thais replies.* "And the other 770 years what did you do?" *Elaine asks, but Thais raises her hand.* "Not important and not the place for such a conversation…there ahead of us needs to be apartment number one." *Kysaek nods and continues speaking quieter.* "And why are you here again, Captain?" *Thais answers.* "On the one hand as a witness, at the other as support and at the end as a minder…you understand." *Thereupon Kysaek nods only and both reach an entrance to an apartment complex. They open the door and pass through it, looking right to a Display, which they activate.* "Here we have the residents of the building…mh mh, mhh… where is he? …ah there he is." *Kysaek says and points at one name, Flinn Porton, whereupon Thais nods.* "Then let's do this…" *she crosses her arms and waits till Kysaek takes the lead, keeping a certain distance. Still no weapon is drawn, while both Asari go the stairs up, floor after floor. The weaponry in general doesn't seem to be big: On Kysaek's back an end of a pistol is seen and an assault rifle,  while Thais has only two pistols.After some minutes the Asari reach the desired floor and run around a corner, before they stop in front of a door. Kysaek looks around thereby and notices a camera. She activates her Omni-Tool and transmits a disturbing signal, which stops the recording of the camera, while in the meanwhile Thais observes her silently. Then Elaine pushes on the button of the door display and waits a moment, until the door opens and the known face is found in front of her. He speaks slowly.* "Eclipse? What do you want? I have nothing and I don't owe you anything." *the Turian nods to affirm this.* "Flinn Porton?" *Kysaek asks and her voice is also muffled through the helmet. The Turian answers.* "Yes…" *Elaine lets her hands move carefully to her back, while whispering.* "Then you are wrong: You owe us something…" *The pistol is drawn fast – a predator, lightly modified with a muffler hood – and pointed at the face of the man, who growls.* "What is the meaning of this?" *Elaine waits a moment before replying: "Everything reflects on oneself one day. Now you don't feel so strong anymore, if it is not a defenseless Asari…" *The Turian tries to answer, but two shots through the head prevent this. After he lies on the ground the Asari shoots still three times, before turning away silently and closing the door behind her. Followed by Thais she leaves the floor and puts her pistol back on her back.*


"By Number Two you should not talk so much. It is enough when you do it fast and we have no witness." *Sapto says, whereupon Elaine nods quietly, while both run downwards again. If nothing has happened they go outside, where the madding crowd continues to live and Thais activates her Omni-Tool for a moment.* "Around ten minutes from here comes the next one." *she says and deactivates the tool again. Running beside each other the Asari continue their way, whereupon Kysaek looks around once again.* "What would I be ready to give to spend the evening at the Eternity now." *she sighs and Thais shakes her head.* "It is easy to notice that you are young. Your thoughts should be focused in this moment and not disturbed." *Elaine looks at the other woman.* "I am focused, but this doesn't change the fact, that I would like to enjoy my life again a little bit." *Thais raises her hand to say, that she should get quiet. Elaine follows the gesture and both continue their way silently to their target. They cross corridors to get from level to level and after around ten minutes they reach a level, where it is darker a little bit and afar from the lively streets, but in no way gone to rack.They enter another apartment complex and repeat the pattern from earlier: look in the Display at the entrance for the name of the Turian.* "Seron Mir, there we have him. Second Floor." *Kysaek says only and like earlier, she takes the lead, followed by Thais. The second floor is reached fast and Kysaek looks around again, after she is standing in front of the door of the victim, but this time she can't find a camera or other Security Systems. She pushes on the Display beside the door, crosses this time her arms behind her back immediately and waits. But after several minutes and repeated pushing still no one opens the door.* "If he is even at home?" *Elaine suggests and Thais steps forward to put her palm at the door. The Omni-Tool interacts with the lock and even an amateur could recognize that she is using a Lock-Picking-Program. Only a few seconds later the door opens and the Eclipse Captain steps aside, while Elaine draws her pistol from her back and enters the apartment. She checks room after room: first the living corridor, then the bathroom, the kitchen and the living room, but the apartment seems abandoned until Kysaek notices the thin ****** of light getting through one door.* "Probably the bedroom." *she murmurs quietly and steps to the door, closing her eyes listening. First she notices the occasional swooshing of the Magnetic Rail and the flying past Skycars from the outside, but the more she keeps silent and listens, the more obvious she hears a noise of this supposed bedroom: Obvious noise, even more precise, libidinous gasping and moaning.* "He is probably not alone." *Kysaek says quietly to Thais, who nods.* "How you treat witnesses, is your choice." *Kysaek opens the eyes again and after this the door. The pistol is pointing forward fast, while she enters the room and finds her target equally fast: She finds a bed and really a Turian is on it, together with a female Quarian, both partially engulfed in blankets. They notice the Asari not before the Quarian startles up and pushes the Turian away from her, who reacts angry.* "What are you doing, ****? For what I am paying you?!" *The Quarian reacts mute and points at Kysaek. The Turian turns his eyes to her.* "Is this something like an additional proposition for s-luts or what do you want here?" *the man snorts angrily. Kysaek asks only still pointing the pistol at him.* "Seron Mir?" The Turian nods thereupon.* "What do I get, if I say 'Yes'?" *he grins boldly, but has there for one moment later two bullets in the head and collapses on the bed. Elaine steps closer and fires again one or two times, before lowering the weapon and looking at the Quarian, who squeals, obviously scared.* "You have seen and heard nothing and then you will not need to expect problems." *Kysaek says and Quarian hesitates shortly, before answering finally.* "Y-yes, I have seen nothing and even have not wanted it." *The Asari nods then and equally fast as both came, they leave also, while the Quarian searches for her clothes as fast as possible.In front of the door Thais says.* "That was better: Not many words and you did it…and you let the woman live. A risk, but she doesn't belong to the Initiation and aside from that I don't like senseless killing." *Elaine nods shortly.* "I don't think she will talk…but after all our turian friend can be happy to die in this way…probably a way many men want to die: in the bed on or beside a woman." *she laughs quietly and Sapto agrees to this silently, while the Asari leave the apartment complex.*



*Thais activates her tool another time and adjusts her radio frequency.* "Here is the Captain: We are ready here. Expect the Shuttle at the Drop-Off-Point." *she says and a short* "Understood." *comes as a reply. The Captain deactivates her Tool once again and waves to Kysaek, so she should follow her. Together they start their way back, this time silent. They pass through the crowd, Level for Level, until they reach the lively public open space, which they crossed after arriving. Only after few steps Sapto stretches out her arm in front of Kysaek to stop her. Kysaek asks.* "What is going on?" *whereby Thais points out at the front only and Elaine follows the forefinger: She needs some time before she can see through the crowd a police patrol, which is found right in front of the exit to their Drop-Off-Point.*

"I see them, but will they prevent us from passing beside them?" *Elaine says, whereupon Thais replies strictly.* "Believe me, when I say: When Police Patrols see Eclipse Units in almost infamous districts, they stop us every time and ask, ask and ask…" *Kysaek raises her shoulders thereupon. "Then let us answer …simply?" *but what gets countered by Sapto instantly.* "I am the Captain, we take another route." *Elaine nods to this only and follows the Captain, when she takes another direction, activating her Tool thereby.* "Here is the Captain: We need to change our rendezvous point, change to Place Number Two." *A short answer follows.* "Understood Captain." *Thais puts her hands on Kysaek's shoulders and pushes her to the left, in another direction.* "We go there." *she says and both Asari begin to rush again through the crowd, although they get seen by one or another person in this way, what the patrol notices as well. It puts itself into motion slowly and follows the Asari, but they pass through the next door already, what accelerates the police' speed. When the officers pass through the door they can see their target in quite a distance, whereby Thais is wearing her helmet again already and like Elaine with the back to the officers. She raises her eyes, when the Shuttle comes flying slowly, what leads to* "You there, freeze!" *-yelling from the officers. The shuttle stops floating nicely over the ground, while Thais and Elaine turn around to the officers. The Captain whispers to her.* "You stay quiet, I do this." *The officers, a Batarian and a human, stop in a safe distance from the Asari, whereupon the Batarian says.* "What are you doing here?" *The Captain crosses her arms in front of her belly and replies gently.* "We are about to fly away, Officer." *The human stops her with one wave of his hand.* "No Smartass-Comments." *Thais swings her left hand a little bit.* "It was an explicit answer on what we are doing…" *She points behind herself to the floating Shuttle.* "Want to continue playing the Smartass what? Identify yourself." *the human growls, while the Eclipse Captain activates her Omni-Tool. Elaine on the other hand stays quiet and motionless and in this way catches the eye of the officer.* "You are meant as well. Identi…" *both say in unison, when they are frozen the next moment, engulfed by a white shimmering.* "We go." *Thais says and turns away. Both officers are trapped in a Stasis created by a swift movement of Thais hand. The door of the Shuttle opens and both women climb in, before the door closes again and the Shuttle begins to fly away. Until the Stasis is over few minutes pass, which let the officers curse. They pass this message through via radio.* "Eclipse Mercenaries have attacked two officers, Identity unknown, escaping on a Shuttle. Flying Direction unknown." *It lasts not long until this message comes back.* "Understood. We look after them." *whereupon the two officers turn away growling and go back to the lively space.*
(( Switch off the music. )



*In the meanwhile in the Shuttle it is quiet, while Kysaek sits again on her seat, helmet put down already like Thais, who has crossed her legs again and her arms put down on her thighs.* "And how it continues now? Is there a party or something like this?" *Kysaek asks, what leads to a small smirking of Thais.* "No,
something like this doesn't exist, only a gathering of everyone, in which I confirm that you committed your murders and where I will officially allow you to join the ranks of the Sisterhood in presence of all this witnesses; that is all…What you do then, I leave to you…a little bit drinking or something like this, as long as you stay in the Base, shouldn't be a problem." *Elaine sets her upper body upright a little bit.* "With a false ID one could think, that I could leave the Base for some time as well…on a permanent basis it is quite oppressive…and how exactly looks the plan? You say we fight against PGI, so what will we do exactly?" *she grumbles a bit and gets this as answer.* "I don't know yet…if I would know everything ahead, then it would have been done already…we need to work out plans, strategies, the approach ...surely not we come rushing in PGI tomorrow and say them: 'Now we got you.'." *she makes a break.*"No, no…don't imagine it to be easy and prepare on something, which can last years. Step by step we need to build up everything, before it is accomplished." *Elaine wants to say something, but keeps silent then and instantly something crosses her mind.* "Lasting for years in this Base? Such a s-hit…" *Kysaek closes her eyes again and gets shaken occasionally from the Shuttle, which continues its path. Without any further problems by meeting the police again and lined up in the traffic as well like followed by the
Gunship of the Twins it flies back.*



((Last Soundtrack for this chapter http://www.youtube.c...JVHadJDg#t=312s ))
*The remaining flight proceeds eventless, before the Shuttle docks inside the Main Hangar of the Base and the few passengers climb out in the already late night. The Eclipse Captain says something only during climbing out.* "Relax a bit. Tomorrow I will gather everyone and confirm your joining of us." *Elaine stretches herself and nods.* "Aye, Aye Captain." *Sapto turns away and leaves her in the direction of the Main Hall. Kysaek on the other side lets her shoulders move in circles a little bit and thinks.* "Mhhh what I do now? Going to bed? ….No, I am still wide awake and killing these two idiots was more than easy…but at least I should go to my quarter and undress this armor." *She loosens a bit and begins walking slowly. Around this hour nothing seems to happen in the Main Hangar anymore, except few Mechs working or armed.*

*In the Main Hall it doesn't seem to be much different, while Kysaek passes it looking at around a bit and before stepping the stairs upwards. The Base is divided in two Levels, between which also Main and Secondary Hangar are reachable, although a thought crosses Kysaek's mind: The second level seem to be more important for defense of the Main Hall, or at least in this way the shape of the railing as well like the features of the metal railing could be explained, on which she leans against shortly. But she pushes her body away quite fast and continues her way to the quarters until she opens a door with the label 'A-3'. She passes through it and reaches a short corridor, from which two smaller doors lead right as well like two small doors left. She opens the last door on the left side, closes it behind herself before leaning against it a bit, grabbing her face with both hands then.* "Like in a prison here." *she murmurs to herself looking around in the small room. One single room with a bed, a Terminal, a TV and in one corner is a shower. Kysaek shakes her head and pushes herself away from the door to stand in front of an empty wall, raising her hand and pushing against it, whereupon a shelf leaves the wall. It is empty and seemingly the storage place for the armor. First Kysaek takes the weapons from her back – pistol as well like assault rifle – but doesn't let it expand, but instead lets it in its original shape 'folded'. She puts the weapons on empty padding, removes her gloves and starts to open the bracers, followed by several clicking noise. Next comes the chest armor, which allows to be divided in front and back part. One after the other she puts it in the shelf, while her chest is only dressed in a Tank-Top now, also in the colors of Eclipse. Then she takes the helmet from the belt and the remaining armor, which she removes in the same way: first the shoes and at the end the leg guards. Then she closes the shelf again, which disappears inside the wall, before opening another one right beside it. Nothing extraordinary, only a simple uniform: an upper part, pants, underwear and shoes, which Kysaek dresses now. She takes up some time – above all when she is nude in the upper area and looks at herself from the side. She moves over her skin with her fingers, which has healed up quite good, except on few not so smooth spots, which are wrinkled a bit.* "Mh it is not visible anymore…could have been worse… fortunately I am training." *she thinks before putting her bra on, followed by a shirt and the remaining clothes.

(Imagine the typical Shepard-Clothes which he/she wears on the Normandy, but only in Eclipse colors and Logo:)

"Then let us look what is going on. Now I am here for almost two months and still don't know the girls well.",
*she says to herself determined and leaves the room again, first leaning against the railing of the second level and looks at the Big Main Hall below her. It is quiet, no one is seen except Doctor Azkar, who stands in front of the door of her Sickbay and probably absorbed in reading a Datapad. Kysaek types with her fingers on the handrail, before she nods simply and pushes her away to go the stairs downwards to the first level in the direction of Doctor Azkar. In a certain distance Kysaek raises her hand in a greeting manner.* "Hey Doc." *she says, but Relis doesn't notice her probably and Kysaek repeats her greeting.* "Hey Doctor." *Now the Doctor lifts her head and answers the greeting: "Hello Kysaek, how are you? The last pictures of the combustions look good. Have you any problems?" *Kysaek first thought is* "Typically a Doctor…" *but then she replies.* "I'm doing very well, but I say for two weeks already, that you don't need to be so formal." *Relis smirks a little bit.* "Well, you are equally formal to me." *Whereupon Kysaek nods.* "Of course, as long you are so to me, I will be to you." *The Datapad lowers; even more Relis puts it away in the pocket of her coat.* "Then we will stay here forever and believe me, it has nothing to do with the fact that I am a physician that I keep a certain distance to my patients…but yes, the job as a physician leads a certain formality, if I want to or not. But you don't need to worry, that doesn't mean that I don't am appreciate of the people I meet." *Kysaek thinks over these words while moving her head here and there.* "Yes I think I understand…but can you tell me, dear Doctor, how long you are here by the Sisters already? Have you needed to murder someone also despite being a doctor?"*The Drell nods.* "Of course. When you want to belong to the Sisterhood, it means that you need to do the Initiation, if doctor or soldier or technician….every sister needs to do this that makes us to Sisters." *To these words Elaine adds.* "And can I ask who you have killed?" *Carefully Relis shakes her head.* "Nobody worth mentioning, above all because I did it as a doctor unwillingly, but I did it for my Sisters…and I can guess your next question.", she makes a break* "Everyone needs a doctor, even so called mercenaries…and it is quite a difference to be here by the Sisters." *she replies in the short way and Elaine waves with her right hand a bit.* "And you are not troubled with all the things? Like Trade with Red Sand, Raids and all this?" *The Doctor smirks a bit again.* "I am a physician. To tax my brain with it and additionally judge it, is not my place to do." *Shortly hesitating, but slowly nodding Kysaek replies.* "I believe I understand you Doctor,…okay, then I will not disturb you any longer during your work. See you." *Doctor Azkar nods as well and continues reading her Datapad, while Kysaek looks around again, thinking.* "Mhh…whereto now?" *Her eyes stop at the first label, the Canteen.* "There needs to be someone."


*This time in a light jogging manner she doesn't need twenty minutes to reach the Canteen and stops before she enters it. But at the end of the Canteen only a big TV is switched on and an Asari sits in front of it. Kysaek comes closer to her, who seems to be Thais judging by her skin color, in a slower pace. Elaine stops beside the big couch and looks to the Asari, who is really Thais and her eyes look at Elaine.* "Not tired?" *the Captain asks relaxed, while sitting on the couch and before Kysaek shakes her head.* "Not really…I wanted to make a tour and learn more about some Sisters. I am here for almost two months and met them only briefly." *Thais laughs a little bit.* "Understandable. We Sisters need to bank on each other…want to sit? I watch the News right now." *Kysaek grabs her hair cartilage saying.* "News? I watch the News sometimes, but isn't there something better at this hour of the day?" *Thais shrugs.* "Maybe, but knowledge is important and even when most of it is only the yellow press, every report has a germ of truth." *Elaine approves to it nodding.* "There you are right…and what have you heard till now?" *She looks at the Screen then, which seems to be the weather report for the districts, spoken by a Hanar.* "The most important News have finished right now. After the Weather the program is over normally, but one moment ago there was a report, that the Renewing of the Alliance of the Council Species has not come about, because there are big riots in the various ranks of them…what means, that the Big Alliance, which was founded shortly after the Reaper War, doesn't exist right now."*Elaine shrugs her shoulders.* "And you think that is bad? They will hardly kill each other now." *Thais gets more serious.* "That not, but everyone is working for himself right now…more or less. Although the traces of the War are far from being removed yet. This will still last around 100 or 200 years, I bet." *Kysaek looks to Thais once again.* "You are belonging to the older Asari, who take everything a little bit too serious, mh?" *Thais reacts to this instantly.* "I said it to you earlier already, that the lives of everyone, who have survived the War, have changed and believe me that I am not so without a reason." *Elaine nods only to this.* "Okay, okay, I will not disturb you any longer then." *she says, whereupon the Captain stands up.* "You are not disturbing…but I will go to bed now. Be awake tomorrow punctually. It could happen that I take you to your first mission right away." *This leads to a grin on Kysaek's face.* "Get out of the Base? Oh I hope for this." *Thais grabs Kysaek's shoulder shortly during passing and before leaving the room silently. Elaine does the same and goes, this time without proper thinking, to the Secondary Hangar.*


*Hardly light here, only the weak Night lighting is on, while Kysaek enters it seeing almost nothing.* "Mhh the Twins are not here like it seems." *she murmurs and hides her hands in the pockets, while going along the shadows of the hangar. She stops in front of both Gunships, which are found here. First she examines the left one, then the right, whose only difference to the first is the different paint.* "They need to be real Tech-Freaks for sure." *she laughs, but hears a weak breathing, after getting quiet again. It is even more: It seems to be a snoring. She follows the noise and sees few meters afar on a cot, one of the female Salarians, whereby it is quite difficult to guess for Kysaek who it is from both, until like out of nowhere Dios stands beside her.*"Tiptoeing at night…almost I had slain you with an alligator wrench." *she says, but a relaxed undertone is heard thereby. "Had you done this?" *Kysaek asks and Dios shakes her head.* "No…to be honest I have got a warm glass of water and wanted to dive Kuren's hand in it." "You want to dive her hand in warm water? Why?" *Elaine looks a little bit confused, which is why Dios replies.* "Is this trick not familiar to you? By the Asari or Humans it works with lukewarm water…" *the woman grins shortly and Elaine starts to get it.* "Ah that…but why warm and why are you doing this?" *While Kysaek asks this, Dios has sat down beside Kuren already and puts down the glass, before diving the left hand into it.* "Simply…Salarians are coming from Sur'kesh and the local climate there is warm, that's why it needs to be warm water…and why I am doing this? The revenge there for that she has said she had calibrated the Upgrades." The Asari holds her hand in front of her mouth and stops herself from laughing. "I didn't know that Salarians have something like a sense of humor." Dios get upright again replying: "More than you can imagine, but only the fewest use it…and it needs to be soon…only a few sec-" Dios can't end the sentence, before it…happens to Kuren. It doesn't wake her still. "That we owe to our high metabolism." Dios laughs shortly, but quietly, while Kysaek shakes her head only. "I let you alone then. We see us tomorrow during my admittance." *Dios nods.* "For sure." *The Asari leaves the room, hiding her hands in the pockets again.* "That was everything but not…productive. Well, at least I know now that Dios has humor…and Kuren will be quite angry tomorrow." *she laughs mentally.*


*In the meantime the Night Lightning has switched on in the Main Hall as well and shines through it only weakly, but still visible, although it is completely empty now. Kysaek walks with few steps to the Armory, thinking.* "Mhh a little bit training tires someone." *but she sighs still.* "Really learning something about some of the girls I haven't now…well a little bit…it will come with the time." *Her eyes are lowered a little bit and she enters the Armory absentmindedly, but she gets scanned through a VI between two doors, before the second door opens and lets her inside in this way. She hears noise from there…seemingly a conversation, which she follows. At the firing range she meets the female Krogan and Quarian, while the last one has a rifle in her hands.* "Mhh a Viper." *crosses Kysaek's mind, before getting noticed by the Quarian, because the Krogan is sitting with the back to the Asari. "Well, look who is here, our Soon-to-be-Sister.", the Quarian points out at Kysaek, whereupon the Krogan turns around and laughs throatily."Welcome, we have heard that everything went smoothly." *Elaine smirks.* "Well those were two ****s, which I have taken off the streets and no soldiers or gang members." *The Krogan waves with her hand to stop her.* "Initiation is Initiation…and because you are soon a Sister, I can tell you my name now." *she makes a short break.* "I am your Sister Jor." *The Quarian adds instantly.* "Sorry, I have not introduced myself the last two weeks as well. I am Sha'riin." The Asari smiles. "Wow, at the end some information." *she replies and Sha'riin adds.* "Information? What do you mean?" *Kysaek waves with her hands. "Well I am here for almost two months, more or less actually for two weeks, where I am awake and I still don't know anyone here." *Jor grins, showing her teeth in this way. "Well that is normal. To Not-Sisters most of us are not very talkative." "There Jor is right." *Sha'riin adds again.* "Well tomorrow I am a Sister." Elaine says and Jor laughs. "That's why I have told you my name." *Elaine comes a little bit closer.* "Too friendly, Sister…and what are you doing here? Maintaining the Weapons?" *the Asari asks, but the Quarian nods only.* "Me yes. My sniper rifles need to be cared for. With them I am doing a precision work…but something like this Jor doesn't need. She has trained on the dummies few moments ago still…with her fists." *Jor says to this.* "Well, the woman needs to stay in training or not? Nahahah.""Krogans and Strength…isn't this a cliché?" *the Asari grins, but Jor stops her waving her hand.* "One can't change what she is,…at least in certain pathways…and I like how I am." *The Asari raises her hands.* "Me too…" *she looks to Sha'riin.* "And you are a sniper?" *The female Quarian puts the barrel on her shoulder.* "That's right. A quite good even, like I think…but that here is only a toy. My Widow…there no head stays at its body." *she laughs through her helmet with the usual echo of Quarians, whereby Elaine presses here.* "The modified version…?" *Sha'riin nods.* "Of course otherwise someone like me breaks her own arm, although my Widow is trimmed as much that…" *she points at her right scapula, where the armor looks a little bit different than on the left side.* "I have an augmented armor on this shoulder to rebound the stronger impact…Jor could fire with it, but others would break their arms." *With these words Jor pushes herself away from the edge of the firing range.* "You could continue talk about strong 'weapons'…but a woman like me needs her beauty rest." *she laughs, while Sha'riin as well like Kysaek nod to the Krogan, who leaves the room. Kysaek goes further afar to the firing range further behind, while the Quarian puts her rifle on her womb to adjust it probably.*


"What are you planning?" *the Quarian asks and Kysaek replies short.* "Well I follow the example of Jor and train a bit…with what the Asari are gifted of course: Biotic." *She clenches her fists to gather biotic energy in them, while the Quarian smirks almost not audible for the Asari. She moves her right arm upwards fast and fires a Warp on a dummy, before stopping this position for a moment. She continues to gather the energy on the surface of her body, what leads to a weak sweating and faster breathing, but she can maintain the energy without giving up. She waits still few moments, before she yanks up her second hand and both hands fire a double Warp – equally strong as the gathered energy – and she hits the dummy with a hard hit.* "Already got winded?" *the Quarian says, whereby Kysaek pants and gasps.* "Well, this is the result when you sit on your a-ss for almost five weeks…and well I train my Biotic quite too rarely." *she grumbles and fires one Warp Ball after another and even creates a small Stasis Bubble at the end around her target, but which disappears after few seconds already. "You know the Captain, don't you?" *Elaine speaks to Sha'riin, who replies.* "I do." *Kysaek fires again, continuing to speak.* "Well, she is around 800 years old…how is her Biotic?" *On these words the Quarian shrugs.* "Can't judge it. I am not an expert of Biotic…every now and then she uses it, but I would not call it extraordinary, although she wears the nickname Lightning…but I have never understood why."*Kysaek listens to these words, while moving her hands in circles for a while and creates a Singularity around one dummy, which pulls the pieces of plate of it, which hang on a chain, upwards. The whole thing she can't maintain for long and the Singularity vanishes again, while Kysaek kneels down, supporting herself with hands on her knees, taking breath for some time. The female Quarian gets up in the meanwhile and shoulders her rifle.* "Well, not overdoing it. I go to bed now, Keelah Se'lai." *she bows out, while the Asari gets up again.* "Good Night." *she pants, while looking at Sha'riin for a while, before she focuses on the dummy again to repeat her training: first a strong warp, then several smaller ones, a Stasis and at the end a Singularity. The whole thing she repeats three times, but makes short break in between the repeats, because it is very energy-sapping. After the last repeat she falls on her ass with a loud bang and needs to support herself with her hands – more than half of an hour she stays so. "There…" *she gasps.* "That is enough for now…" *another gasping.* "Now only hop into the shower and then into the bed….."


The End of this chapter, choices will follow in the next post


P.S: If the thing with the Sisterhood is not completely right in Mass Effect, so sorry for this. This idea rests upon the Samara Recruit Mission, where every enemy is female and it looks like, if there is something like a Sisterhood within Eclipse. As well the murder as the "Initiation" (=Condition for admission) I have from the same mission. If I am wrong, don't be angry with me. *g* Look at it like a new idea for ME4 ;D

Here´re the choices from the last Chapter:)



1. Almost two weeks have passed already and Kysaek has recovered more or less already. She has even started to train again…her initiation is close…who will she choose?

Important: Here you can insert your “victim” yourself. It can be everyone, who is known by the name already
(although there are not much and the Eclipse People are of course taboo.) But also people whose names are not known can be chosen (for example the Krogan from the Club. Also without a name it is possible to find someone “somehow”) If no one from the first two mentioned things is something for you, your creativity is in demand: Create your own victim, but please only basic information no one page long story ^^. Maybe an evil shylock, which Kysaek knows, the nice shop owner next door (check the poor Volus in ME2, who has for sure not done anything to anyone etc.) With the 1 page-thing: Not to limit you…but “if” everyone would do this = much, much effort for me ^^ Also you can agree to ideas of others…and I mention to remind you: Think this over properly, because no matter which victim, if known or created by you….it will be found in a certain milieu, you know, Tracing Kysaek and etc…

Because there will be many individual suggestions, I say how I will solve this: I use a random generator (except there is an obvious majority wish…but to this I don’t count, if two are for one idea. There need to be at least three)

The two Turians from Chapter Act 1 Chapter 2 were chosen.


2. After, probably, successful done work, Kysaek is back at the base of the Sisterhood, what will she do there? (Here you can choose two things)

A – She goes for a stroll over the base and speaks to the new faces.(win)
B – She uses the opportunity of the training area and trains her body skills.
B.1. She uses the opportunity of the training area and trains her biotic skills.(win)
B.2. She uses the opportunity of the training area and trains her Weapons skills.
C – Kysaek sits at a Terminal and checks the Extranet after news about her case.
D – Kysaek has went underground for a longer while already and that’s why tries to call her mother, with the false ID
E – Kysaek tries to touch base with Jim, with the false idea (as long as he was not your victim from 1)
F – She takes some time for herself and sits down at a peaceful location to think for a while, also about passed times

[Nihilismus]

 It took me some time to catch up, but it's totally worth it :)Go on and live up to great expectations 

[Pain87]

This Time we´ve a special Chapter and because of this i´m writting this....
Dear Readers, I need to warn you, that this chapter is not Rated T, but there Rate for M(PEGI 18). So keep this in mind, before you decide to read it:devil:



Act 2: The End of the old Life
Chapter IV: Eclipse Evermore...


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



*The day is still young; the sun is rising, although it is hidden behind many clouds, which announce raining. The rush-hour traffic has started already; the streets and the skyroads are full of Ground Vehicles and/or Skycars, while more than two dozen women gather in the Main Hall of the Base. They spread around in a semi-circle, on which center – a small stair raise – Sapto and Kysaek are standing.

A normal gathering like it seems: few in their uniforms, others in their armors and Thais in her Captain armor like Kysaek in her Standard Armor, whereby the Eclipse Captain has put down her arms on her back and begins to speak with a firm voice.* "Eclipse Evermore." *She gets an.* "Eclipse Evermore." *back from every one, before it gets silent once again and Sapto continues to speak.* "Like some of you know already, we got a new Sister yesterday, who has accomplished the Initiation under my watch and who I will now, as witness, admit to the ranks of the Sisterhood of Eclipse." *With a movement of the hand the Asari takes out a Datapad, which was clamped to her belt and types on it.* "Concerning certain circumstances, she will be listed below her pseudonymous, another person's ID, for now. So welcome our sister Ashana Palia, Sisters." *the Captain says and lowers the Datapad again, before getting an.* "Eclipse Evermore, Sister Palia!" *from the ones gathered here.They yank their arms upwards thereby and Kysaek returns the gesture.* "Eclipse Evermore!" *It lasts not long until it gets quieter again and Thais begins to speak again.* "Now to the daily routine: I expect Team One and Two in the Command Center, while the others can pursue their daily duties in the Base…" *The Captain turns away, while the gathering ends.* "You come with me in the Central." *she says to Kysaek, who nods mutely and follows the Captain instantly, who goes in a faster pace to the Command Center.*


*While Kysaek and Sapto are already in the Center, it lasts still a while until the remaining sisters gather here one after each other,around a device, which is furnished with various electronic gadgets and in the middle a glass top – probably a projector. The slowly gathering Teams are not really big and a mixed bunch of people, like Jor and Sha'riin.* "The Teams are completely gathered…then let me come to the bare essentials instantly." *Thais says in a little bit military sound, before pushing a button of the device. Seconds later something gets projected – seemingly a layout of an area.* "After we received a delivery from the HQ two days ago, we got a mission right after it: The said delivery should be delivered to a bigger local Syndicate." *Sha'riin raises her hand shortly and Thais allows her to speak with a nod.* "Why this transport was not executed by the HQ itself? Why we need to do this?" *she asks followed by the usual distorted sound of Quarian Masks and the answer of the Captain.* "They say, it would be too conspicuous, if there are too many movements from the HQ to a distant District. In this way it is possible, that the Police take notice of it."*Sha'riin nods thereupon, while Thais continues.* "I have chosen Team One and Two, because Team One is the Unit for Fights in Short Distance and Team Two for long distances and Infiltration…" *Thais looks to Elaine.* "I couldn't get an idea of your skills, so can you do something extraordinary good?" *she asks the Asari, who seems to think about this, before she replies.* "Well I received Training in the Forces, Basic Training…I think everything is balanced…" *she makes a short break, "Although, I train my Biotic quite often." *she adds finally.The Captain nods thereupon.* "So I can find everywhere a slot for you…but I think, Jor could make use of a little bit Biotic Storming Power. She has lost for quite some while a Sister." *Jor nods to this.* "Yes, this is true. Our Unit could need her." *Kysaek looks to the female Krogan, who is standing beside a female human and Turian.* "Good then I allocate her to your Team Jor." *Sapto commands and Kysaek goes to the group.* "Too bad, a second Asari would have fitted to us." *Sha'riin chuckles, whose unit consists of a female Salarian, an Asari and two humans. "Yeah, but she wouldn't have increased your Hit Radio very much." *Jor laughs throatily and Sha'riin hiss till Thais raises her hand. "Enough. I continue.", she points at her projection, "This is the location of the handover: A Stock District, no hall, but there for the boxes there gives us, but as well them, a good cover, while the surrounding buildings could be of use as well – but again also for the Gangsters. We will hand over the delivery on the spot, which allows most of free space. Team Two will spread around the terrain and give us backing, Team One is behind me, while Jor alone will accompany me directly."*Jor growls.* "Are you expecting trouble?" *The Captain pushes her hands away from her hips thereupon.* "No, but you know that I am prepared always…above all because such gangsters like to break engagements." *the Krogan nods to this.* "But if it works out like according to the plan, we hand over the box, get our Credits and withdraw from there in formation…and then the mission will be finished already." *the Captain stays silent for a moment.* "If there is trouble…our snipers will give us cover from two spots." *Thais points to the side, from where Eclipse will arrive: left and right part, two higher found positions.* "The rest of Team Two will be found in the center of the higher floor." *Thais deactivates the Projection then.* "Except Jor, Team One will be in position further behind us and if something happens, you can split up so that they don't surround us…any questions?" *The Captain looks to every woman during these words, but no question comes. Thais says.* "We depart in one hour. Get ready and be prepared." *Thereupon only a.* "Yes, Ma'Am." *follows.*


*One after another they leave the Command Center, where only the Captain remains, while Kysaek belongs to the first ones, who leave it. She is on the way to her room, goes the stairs up to second floor and enters her room determined, before allowing the shelf to extend from the wall and take the pistol as well like the assault rifle out of it to position it on her back. At the end her helmet follows.* "Mhh the weaponry isn't enough surely…I get the rest of the Armory." *she nods to herself and leaves the room again. In a quick pace she gets the stairs down once again, while seeing other members of the Team. On them the preparation is visible as well, while some of them go to their rooms, others to the Armory as well or to the Sickbay. Kysaek opens the door to the Armory and goes inside, seeing Jor and Sha'riin again, who talk with each other – this time she passes them silently.*"They have certainly more important things to talk about right now. Better I stay silently." *she thinks and turns to left to a wall, in which convexities various weapons stand are found filled with an impressive arsenal. At the start the Asari grabs two grenades, which she puts to its retainers on her belt; then she looks around the stand more precisely.* "What have Thais said last time…when we started the Initiation…mhh, mhh…oh yeah: If I take new weapons, I could exchange my old ones and I can only wear two weapons at a time…but I keep the current ones…" *Kysaek thinks about this, before she sees a Mattock.*"If I recall correctly, the Mattock is used by Storming Commandos on tightest space, because it isn't an all-automatic weapon…during this Stock District this will be an advantage probably."*The Asari positions herself in front of the Display of the Weapons Stand, types her ID on it and on the small screen an image of Kysaek appears, as well like her current weaponry. She removes the Avenger from the menu, while taking the weapon from her back to stick it on the Weapons Hold, and then she chooses the Mattock on the menu. She needs to wait for a while before a Weapons slot with such a rifle opens, so she can take it out and attach it to her back.* "But the Predator I will keep. With it I can shoot many bullets in succession and during bigger gatherings of potential enemies this will be useful for sure."*The Asari steps away from the panel and goes to the Support Equipment once again to take out two Medi-gel capsules and to attach them on its designated retainers, as well like few spare magazines for her types of weapons.* "Well, now the gangsters could come." *she says to herself with a firm voice.*



*Similar like the Eclipse Base it seems to be on a different location: Dozens of soldiers, men and women, from who a part is in armors, while the other part in uniforms. On all of the clothes the Logo of PGI is seen clearly.It is a bigger hall, in which all kinds of vehicles as well aircrafts, but also opened equipment containers are found and also Phonor, who is sitting in a smaller office with various datapads in front of himself and one in his hand, reading it mentally.* "Ze Yung, Eight Years in the Alliance, Recon Unit, got for extraordinary service an offer to transfer to the N7-Units, which he accepted. After this ten years at N7, quitted the N7 at the end cause of personal disagreement with his superiors: Too low payment for such a work. Sticking out talents are Infiltration, Assassination and Sabotage…" *the thoughts become silent for a moment.* "I take him." *the man decides before putting the pad aside and to type on the Display of his computer. He stops and lifts his eyes immediately after a big Krogan enters his office. He looks even for 'Krogan Standards' really evil, strewed with scars, which are seen pretty well cause of the dark brown skin.* "Have you heard a 'Come in' , Krogan?" *Phonor snaps almost instantly, before the Krogan growls lightly.* "The 'Come in' was given me, when I heard that PGI was searching for real mercenaries and not such wimps, which have allowed that half of the company was destroyed." *Douglas leans back lightly, but the mien stays like stone and unyielding.* "Is that so? Well then tell me the typical Krogan Adventures, so that I can send you with a kick in the ass outside."  *Phonor says and Krogan snorts.* "I am on the way through this galaxy for over 600 years. I have no stories to tell, but there for my scars. I am speaking only over skills, that I am worth my money and smash everyone, who tries to disturb my missions …but if you want to hear a story…" *he snorts again.* "Once I belonged to the Weyrloc Clan, but 35 years ago this damn **** Shepard has driven us apart, but me he has not got…still questions?"*Phonor leans forward lightly, the body tensed a bit.* "Weyrloc mh? I have heard stories: A strong Clan, Founders of the Blood Pack and then beaten by the best Soldier…either your survival is a proof that you are tough or instead, that you have hidden yourself in the next hole, when the Commander broke you all." *The Krogan stares at the human with his red eyes, while coming closer to the desk. He supports himself with his hands on it and comes closer with his head to the one of Phonor.* "Test me. Put me in your Unit, unless you are holing up behind your desk, instead of facing me." *The Man stands up slowly, while the Krogan follows him with his eyes…and then Phonor grins.* "Good Play of words…no complete brainless Krogan…you are in…" *he stretches his hand out to a handshake, which the Krogan replies. "Call me Weyrloc Terr and put my contract on Standard Month. That will be much cheaper than to pay for single missions….10.000 for single missions, 30.000 for one Standard Month." *Phonor nods thereupon before ending the handshake.* "Then get out and equip yourself…maybe the first mission will start soon." *The Krogan smashes the fists together and turns away leaving the office again.*



((Listen to this in you´r background ))Two
Shuttles float through the air, cross the lower building canyons of Illium in this way, while over them the rush-hour traffic starts slowly with the starting day. Both Shuttles dive into the tunnel of an apartment complex to navigate to two Landing Spots, although there is not much space for landing in this tunnel. They land one after another on the ground, before the doors open to let several people out. They have hidden their faces behind helmets, but it is seen clearly that they are Eclipse, while they march forward to a door in a loose formation, weapons at the ready, before they open and pass it.* "Why this handover is happening at day…I mean, we are indeed in the lower levels, but still…." *Kysaek asks looking to Thais in this moment, who replies.* "It was the wish of the other party of this deal…I know that this is not the best time, but there for we have prepared ourselves." *Kysaek nods mutely and turns her eyes forward, while the unit crosses a long corridor, which is a little bit dirtier – it is belonging probably to the named Stock District, because there are seen office rooms to both sides.In front of a big overhead door they stop, while Jor goes to the left side, where a button is found. Thais looks to Sha'riin saying: "Sha'riin, split up to your positions and send one of your women to scout the terrain…who knows in which holes they will wait for us." *The female Quarian nods saying.* "Understood." *She looks to her Team and orders.* "We take the stairs there and spread out on the upper floor." *during these words she looks to a human and adds.* "Your Suit has Tactical Cloak, check the terrain." *The female soldier responds only: "Aye, Aye, Ma'am." *Thais whispers something, while Team Two hits the road.* "Open the door, Jor." *After the female Krogan pushed the button, the overhead door opens and reveals a picture for Team One: seemingly a big room, the roof far above the head, even with a 'hole' where Transporter can fly in and through which daylight shines inside the hall, which is contained full with many boxes and storage containers.* "Keep your eyes open." *Jor murmurs, while the loose formation is disbanding. The Krogan takes the lead, beside her the Captain and behind them the remaining three sisters.* "In front of us is the Handover Spot. Let's go." *the Captain orders.* "Was this a good idea, to hold the product back for now?" *Kysaek asks and gets as an answer.* "It is better in this way…believe me."


*Despite the daylight it is lightened only barely in the bigger area, while the Eclipse Unit comes closer and closer to the meeting spot. After some time they begin to hear the noise of closer coming vehicles, which fly in through the opening in the roof: two trucks and the rest are normal Skycars. They land on the other side of the District, but still in sight of the Sisters.* "There they are." *the Captain says, while putting her arms on her back, whereby Jor growls: "Quite many of them, for one simple Handover…" Sapto responds to this.* "Nothing extraordinary …such gangsters want to impress with mass always." *One after another the vehicles land, but it is hard to say cause of the weak light, how many people climb out of them. There could be at least two dozen, which spread out in every direction, while only a smaller group out of six gangsters comes closer to the Handover spot.* "Found something?" *Thais speaks to her Comlink quietly and Sha'riin replies: "Yes. We are seeing around six guys on the other side of the upper floor, split up in Two-Men-Groups…armed with Assault Rifles…seem to be their backing…but no problem for us. We could neutralize them within seconds." *Quietly speaking the Captain says.* "Is there more?" *With a whispering voice the woman, who is scouting, answers.* "I have checked several rooms, but have found only one where a small horde seems to wait…seven in total…from your point to the left, in your back…if they storm out, I blow them up." *The Handover Spot is reached almost, while Thais still says.* "Okay, from now on radio silence. They are here." *The Asari looks to the gangsters, which are a mix of all species and genders. They are led by a Hanar.* "This Person greets the honorable Eclipse Sisters. We are the emissaries of our organization." *Thais keeps silent for a while, before she responds: "And hello to you too…have you our payment?" *The echoing voice of the Hanar replies.* "The allies of this person have your money here. Every one of us is here, but this person asks himself, where is his delivery?" *The Captain points upwards.* "It will come not before you have given us our money…not a second earlier." *The Hanar wiggles around a bit, like it is known from this species.* "Your distrust fulfills this person with disagreement. You could deceive or betray us…but we want to show you our goodwill." *the Hanar speaks and on this sentence a Skycar drives forward with the rear ahead. It opens it trunk where several small boxes are.* "Your entitlement is in the boxes, but you get it only, when you fulfill the needed requirement." *Sapto grabs her helmet murmuring.* "Drop the package." *It lasts few moments during this her hand let's go of her helmet, until a Shuttle floats downwards from above, while directly below the Shuttle is attached a big box.* "This person is delighted and promises you, that everything will proceed to your satisfaction." *the Hanar says, while Jor and Thais stand still. Further behind the others of Team One are doing the same, while Kysaek looks around the whole time. A female Turian says to this quietly: "Not looking around so much…otherwise they notice that we know it." *The Asari looks to the Turian nodding shortly with the word.* "Sorry." *Elaine tries to relax, while the box is abandoned of its ropes and the Shuttle still floats in a higher position over the Spot. After few seconds the box lands between both parties and a tentacle of the Hanar touches the box activating a Display thereby.* "This person is more than satisfied. You have fulfilled your part of the deal, as well like we." *a moment of silence reigns, before the Hanar adds.* "We will bring this deal to an end now."


*The tentacle on the box moves forward fast to Thais, but Jor catches it and pulls the Hanar forward on the box. Moments ago already the Asari Captain has grabbed her Arc Pistol on her back and draws it now, as well reloads. Everything happens in a split second: the gangsters draw their weapons, as well like Kysaek and her Unit; both snipers of the Sisters on the upper floors put the opposite side in the crosshairs; the overhead door beside the other Troop opens, but the hidden woman has drawn a grenade already, which she spins at the top and throws in the room. The scopes of the Viper Rifles are targeting heads, before the snipers fire and the both outer Two-Men-Groups are lying dead on the ground, because they had no shields probably. The horde behind the door storms out, but the grenade rolls already on the ground in front of them and rips them apart with an explosion, while the energy of the Arc Pistol hits the person behind the Hanar, who gets to feel the hammer fists of the female Krogan, before his blood spouts our of both sides of his body. In the same moment the first gangster is hit by the energy, which paralyzes his body for a moment, while the electric shock jumps from one person to another and the Captain creates a big Singularity with her free hand, which immobilizes the others. This allows Jor to draw her shotgun, a Claymore, and eliminate one enemy at a time. In all this commotion Kysaek moves along the left side, before leaning against a big container, while in a certain distance some enemies barricade themselves to who Kysaek starts to fire. The weapons of the gangsters are nothing to speak of: Above all pistols and small Submachine Guns, which fire after a fashion. In the meantime both snipers neutralize the remaining Two-Men-Group on the other side, but don't notice the small group, which rushes from the right side at flank of Team One. But on the other hand the two remaining women, an Asari and a human, on the upper floor notice them. The Asari gathers her Biotic Energy and pools it together to a big Warp, which she fires with her right hand to hit a small box and to stagger the lower enemies with this shockwave – they even need to step back a bit. This allows the female Turian and human from below to notice the enemy and get into cover. Whereas Kysaek has problems to fire from her cover, until something comes flying: a small, oval object, which stops in the air behind the gangsters and starts shining weakly. Single shots come from the flying object, which kills two enemies in this way, but the third one can destroy it with his pistol – seemingly it was a cannon used by a Tech of Team Two. Elaine uses this opportunity, gets her Mattock at the ready and shoots her enemies down, who fall down, before she runs to this position to get into cover there before the next wave of enemies can shoot her down.In the whole hall the Eclipse Sisters advance now, after only the gangsters remain which have waited at the vehicles. A positional battle starts in this way, while one of the enemies, a Batarian, activates his Omni-Tool to type on it. The doors of several Containers and smaller boxes open up and Mechs are revealed – on all sides around a dozen – which spread out, while this is heard via radio.* "Watch out, Mechs from all sides!" *Every Sister looks around for a moment and needs to find a new position, before she gets shot down, but cause of the fire support of Team Two it doesn't last long until the Mechs get neutralized one after another. In the meantime the enemies use the chaos to climb into their vehicles. They try to start them, while few try to retreat via the various doors of the hall, whereby Kysaek notices a Vorcha, which she follows rushing, leaving her unit in this way, which still needs to fight against the refugees.* ((Now you can switch off the music. )


*The corridors are branched and occasionally Kysaek meets a Mech or a normal worker, who hides behind a cover, because the Vorcha is firing backwards on every occasion, but misses always. The whole thing lasts few minutes, while in the meantime the Stock Complex and its premises get left behind empty. Then the Vorcha ends up in a dead-end and turns around, but Kysaek is there already, Mattock at the ready aiming at the head of the Vorcha.* "Narggghh not killing, not my plan to betray women arghh." *he murmurs and drools, but Kysaek says only.* "Gone together, Swing together, a saying of the humans…and now drop the weapon or you have a hole in your ugly visage." *The Vorcha throws his weapon away and raises his scaly arms murmuring hisses.* "Woman let me go, give you something." *Kysaek shakes her head.* "The game is over, move." *she swings her weapon thereby.* "My last warning." *The Vorcha growls only, while moving slowly. Kysaek clears the way before following him still aiming at him.* "No false movements." *she says to the man, who hisses and drools, while both go back. Via radio the Asari hears the voice of the Captain.* "Kysaek how is your situation?" *Elaine grabs her helmet answering.* "I have chased such an ass and could catch him." *Thais replies to these words.* "Forget him. Better get your a-ss to safety: Cops are here combing the area and I am not talking over normal patrols; they are at least a Storming Commando." *Elaine murmurs.* "Police? I don't see any…" *but while she still speaks the next door opens and a.* "Freeze!" *is heard from the side. She stops as well like the Vorcha.* "Here Unit Three: found two suspects close by; Take them into custody." *one of the four cops says via radio. Over and over again the Vorcha bares his teeth, while the Cops come closer. Kysaek maintains in her position; different the Vorcha, who begins to sprint and in this way catches their attention for a moment, who fire then, but don't get him, because he was close to a door already and now in the next room. But Elaine uses this moment to run in the opposite direction.* "Damn it! You two, behind the Vorcha, we two behind the Asari, otherwise they get away!" *one of the cops yells and the Unit splits up.*


((Run, run...Kysaeks hobby:) ))
*Kysaek clamps her weapon to her back and wins speed in this way, because her body can move freely now, but the bullets blow up in her face only, hit the whole time walls, windows and doors. From time to time Kysaek fires weak Warp Bubbles backwards not aiming correctly, and that's why missing her target always, but still is able to cover meter after meter, before she passes through a door after some time, which leads to the lively Business Neighborhood. Suddenly Kysaek hears from one side.* "Freeze! Police!" *and follows this noise with her eyes to see a police vehicle and additionally to this a whole Unit – five – but she doesn't hesitate long to run across the street attracting the fire of pistols and assault rifles in this way, what leads to panic by the citizens, who start to run away screaming.* "Stop the fire! Civilians in the danger zone. Take up the chase." *one officer orders and all five get into motion and join the others, who come from the door. The Asari shoves herself through small crowds of passersby over and over again; really pushing them aside. "Darn! I have no orientation at all…I don't know where I am or whereto I need to go." *she growls mentally, before turning once left, once right and so on until she reaches a crossing finally. She looks around and wants to enter the next street, but the police come from there. She turns around, but at every street it is the same picture: a small Unit of Officers and even one big one, which are chasing her.* "s-hit, s-hit, s-hit, s-hit…" *she thinks and runs at a building corner, kicks against a glass door, which breaks apart and dives headlong through it, realizing where she is not before being inside.* "Quite Terrific! …a jewelry store." *she growls, turning back, but she can see through the window that the police is coming closer from everywhere. She jumps behind a showcase, takes her pistol from the back and fires in the air several times, what scares up the customers of the store even more, while it forces the officers outside into cover also.* "She is in the building …Come out with hands up! You have no chance." *a Salarian yells amplifying his voice with his Omni-Tool. Kysaek grins only.* "Of course I come out…still other wishes?" *The Asari looks around.* "But I am sitting in a dead end…how do I get out here?" *she sighs stopping her eyes at a door in the room.* "If I come through this….?" *crosses her mind, looking at door longer, but she realizes cause of the red symbol that the door is sealed.* "This is our last warning: Come out with hands up!" *the Salarian repeats, while Kysaek hammers against the ground angry.* "Screw you…!" *she snorts, before looking at the hit spot. She shoves her butt away from there and sees…* "A Canalization entrance…that could be my chance…" *she nods to herself and wants to open the straps right now, when she stops suddenly.* "Stop Elaine…do you remember your last trip to the dirty water of Illium?" *is her objection; she thinks for a moment about this: like she was chased by the unknown monster. She shakes herself.* "Improbable that this happens again….but no thanks…" *She kneels down and looks over the showcase carefully, grumbling quietly.* "But what can I do otherwise? Should I shoot them down…take a hostage?" *for a moment her eyes focus on a Drell, who cowers in the corner…she shakes her head.* "Then only one thing still remains…I shoot everyone down…grrr…no stop, maybe it is enough to buy some time! Yes, I send a signal and then hope, that my Sisters can get my a-ss out of here."


*The Asari activates her Omni-Tool, types on it to open a Com-Frequency and transmits a signal, before deactivating the Tool again.* "Good, good…then now  charm is in demand to string the Cops along until someone comes…otherwise the only alternatives are Shooting to Freedom or Prison." *after this sentence she coughs slightly and yells louder.* "If you believe, I come out so easily, you get the shock of your life. If you try to get in, then many Cops will bleed from many holes."*Loudly laughing the Salarian replies.* "You have no chance. Come out there!" *Elaine tries to stay calm and answers.* "I say you something: Here a plenty of civilians; if you storm in, you will have their blood on your hands." *The Salarian murmurs shortly, before asking: "What do you want?" During this her hand claps on her helmet, murmuring quietly.* "I feel like in a cheap Action Movie…again." *she gets louder during the next words.* "A getaway car so I can escape and we all be happy!" *From the probable Troop Leader this answer comes.* "We have understood. We will organize you a vehicle …nobody needs to be injured." *Elaine adds after this.* "And you'll be sorry if you slip me a flawed crap! I can always take a hostage with me!" *The Salarian keeps silent for a moment, before saying.* "It will be to your entire satisfaction. Keep calm." *The Asari waves with her pistol, a little bit nervous, while the time passes in which everyone keeps silent. Her eyes look always outside and she fires from time to time a warning shot.* "The hell…I don't believe the girls will come still…this means the hard way." *She reloads her pistol and goes in a position, like it is known from relay racers and is ready to run, but stops in the half of the movement, when she hears a noise…like someone would cut something. Elaine looks around and notices a white stripe, which goes from up to down along the door.* "This a-ssholes…want to get in from the back, what?" *The Asari grabs a grenade from her belt and puts it in her hand, ready to spin the detonator. She waits until the door is welded open and the white stripe is disappeared. The red sign gets green and the door opens, while Kysaek wants to throw the grenade, but she stops when she recognizes the big Eclipse uniform of Jor.* "Better you move, dear, we have not much time." *Kysaek nods hasty, but still spins the detonator of her grenade and throws it out of the door, before she runs to the backdoor and leaves with Jor.* "COVER!" *the officer yells, after he has seen the grenade, which explodes right after it. It doesn't cause much damage, only more broken glass. Elaine follows the female Krogan not far, only until they reach a backyard.* "Where to now?" *the Asari asks and Jor points upwards, before pushing the button of a door, which turns out to be a bigger lift – seemingly a goods elevator – which gets entered by the two.* "We drive up, the Shuttle is waiting there…and then home." *the Krogan murmurs throatily, while Kysaek breathes in and out loudly.* "Sounds good, Jor." *The door of the lift close and it starts to move.* "That was a little adventure, what?" *the Krogan laughs, but Kysaek sighs only.* "A little bit. But I am ongoing on the run …more than ever before …somehow this is annoying." *On the display is seen how the lift drives higher and higher, while Jor laughs again.* "Well then your body stays at least firm and luscious, ahehehahah." *On these words Kysaek says relaxed.* "Agreed…"
((Enough run, you can switch off the music.))


*After this event with the police it gets peaceful quite fast again and the way back to the Base proceeds quietly; not even a pursuit, although this they owe probably to the District or maybe, because the police has not seen the Shuttle, which flies into the bay of the Main Hangar now and docks in there. In the meanwhile the evening has started already: the sky is cloudless and the Skyline has its usual colors. One after another they climb out, take their helmets off and look really tired, but still the miens show cheerfulness.As the last the Captain leaves the Shuttle saying.* "That was good work, girls…we have the Credits and kept the goods. Bad luck for this bunch of idiots…" *The Sisters yank up their arms.* "Exactly Captain!" they yell, while she loosens up a bit.* "After this mission you have earned a rest… refresh yourself, while I organize a small party in the Canteen." *she smirks for a moment, before she passes through the group, which cheers joyfully, above all Elaine, who thinks.* "Party …oh yes! How much have I missed that!" *The Asari stretches herself and hits the road in fast pace to her room. Arrived, she throws the helmet in the corner carelessly, closes the door behind herself and emerges from her armor really fast until she is completely nude. She goes to her sanitary area and untwists the faucets of her shower. The warm water ripplesat her body, standing there quite limp, while around the area a small glass partition appears from the ground – probably for preventing that the water spreads out in the room. The body stays motionless, the arms hang down to both sides, and the eyes are open slightly.* "I feel the life again…" *Kysaek murmurs happy, before supporting herself on the wall, bending over her upper body lightly. The water hits the back of her head now, streaming downwards above all along her back.* "I believe it was right to stay by the Sisters …it could be the path to more…" *she purrs quietly.* "Elaine Kysaek…Supreme Eclipse Sister of the Galaxy…" *she laughs while thinking this.* "Wow, down to earth Elaine…let's see what is about to come." *The Asari gets her body upright, grabs a Showering Gel from a small wall board, opens the cap of the bottle and let the gel float down on her hands, before she brays it one her body, sighing more than satisfied during this. The whole showering lasts almost an hour and passes through various phases: Gels, Lotions and much more, what a woman thinks is affordable. After the bit longer caring program the Asari goes again to the wall shelf opening it.* "Best would be a short black top dressed with the corresponding skirt…but beside my uniform, I have nothing else." *she growls sadly and grabs the uniform from the shelf and dresses in each cloth one after another: first the underwear, then the pants, the shirt and at the end the shoes.She rubs her palms together, saying with a grin: "And now it is party time." *She leaves her room, goes the stairs down to the Canteen and hears already from a distance a small music bass.* "The Goddess may be praised, without music it is no party." *she thinks while entering the Canteen.*


((The End of this chapter is near:Phttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSseL7xmxtY&feature=related ))
*Different from usual the Canteen seems like a completely different room: Most of the area is free, although there are still possibilities to sit – although they are in use – and the whole Base seems to be gathered here and dances, drinks or laughs jollily. Kysaek hits her fists together one time again, before speaking mentally.* "Goddess …thanks, thanks, thankkkkkssssss….how have I missed this." *A little bit loosened she goes through the room passing the dancing area, spotting a small bar, which is built at the other end and stopping in front of it.* "Mhhh mhhh an Asari Short Shoot." *she says to the Mech, which replies only.* "Order taken." *before he puts a tumbler on the bar, but the Asari looks away in the meantime. She tries to find familiar faces, but can only see the Captain and Doctor Azkar, who are sitting on the Couch in front of the big screen, together with few other Eclipse Sisters.She looks to the Mech again, which has finished mixing the drink in this moment and shoves the tumbler forward.* "Your Drink." *Elaine grabs it after these words and goes to the Couch, sipping on the Drink short and with relish. "It tastes so good…" she raves mentally and stops in front of the Couch catching the sight of the Captain in this way.* "Sister…take a seat." *the Asari says with a movement of her hand, although the Couch seems to look overfilled a bit.* "Is there still some space?" Kysaek smirks, but Thais stops her with a wave of the hand. "If the others would sit properly, there is enough space…" *and on these words two humans start to sit upright, while they had their feet on the Couch moments ago. Now there is obviously enough space, what motivates Kysaek to sit beside Relis, who doesn't wear a coat anymore, but still the uniform of Eclipse, whereas Thais wears a 'bolder' outfit, which Elaine examines more properly: A dark green loose strap upper piece and additional to this blue-violet 'leather pants.* "Mhhh nice clothes you have there, Captain." *Elaine remarks, but Thais laughs jollily.* "Get rid of the 'Captain', or you spoil for me the party…but otherwise, thanks." *Kysaek grumbles a little bit louder, while leaning back.* "I would like to have a bigger variety of clothes…" *Relis, who has ignited a cigarette in the meantime, smirks and gives Kysaek one, who takes it. Relis says.* "Well after done work today and additionally you are Sister officially now, there are some Credits…order you something, then you have it." *The Asari drinks another sip.* "Will remember this, but doesn't work now…but what the hell." *Elaine looks around, seeming to be quite cheerful.* "I believe this seat is nothing for you…mix with your Sisters better." *Thais laughs and Kysaek gets up for real.* "There you are right. I let you alone again…Have fun." *she grins in one hand her Drink, in the other the cigarette, from which she takes a drag shortly, while leaving the sitting corner.* "Hopefully she doesn't collapse…" *Thais laughs, while Relis nods.* "After weeks of Isolation, this is certainly the right medicine for the patient." *The Captain looks to the Drell. "The eternal Doctor." *The Drell smiles.* "By no means…" *While the two continue chatting, Kysaek has crossed the way to the dancing area in the meanwhile. Her body between her sisters she shares smooth hip swings with them, drinking a sip or taking a drag from her cigarette from time to time, while adding her part to the small haze of the area and increasing the heat.The time passes fast and with passing hour the party starts to get more and more excessive and playful and around Elaine three non-varying dance partners are found: a female human, another Asari and a female Turian, from who everyone dances very tight and dearly with Kysaek, whose **** is smoked already and additional to several Drinks. The Asari leans with her back against the front of the Turian, who is dancing behind her. Both swing their hips extensively, while she does the same with the other women in the front. She touches the current one faintly with her arms, changes the partner, who is dancing still in her back and in flowing movement.* "Not so shy…" *Elaine whispers, while the movements touch more often. The space between the four is as low as possible, while the hand of the other Asari moves up, a small pill between thumb and forefinger. It stops in front of Kysaek's mouth, which gets opened and takes the pill in. It stays at the tongue for a while, before it gets gulped down regardless.The same gesture repeats the unknown Asari with the other two women and then by herself.* "That is good Hallex." *she whispers, while the effect has started on Elaine already. She keeps silent and devotes herself to her movements. Her hands move over the shoulders of the others over and over again; her head leans back on the shoulder of the one, who is in her back in this moment. She whispers quiet words, changes her back partner – already much slower – repeats the whispering gesture until she shoves herself out of the group and her mien over the shoulder shows obviously one thing.* "I want you." *She leaves the dancing area and the room with a slow pace, staggers smoothly in the direction of the stairs, which leads up to her quarter. She needs to support herself on the wall lightly, but gets up at the end, before stopping in front of her door. She looks to her side for a moment and grins amused, after she sees the human following her. She opens the door of her room and enters it, but lets the door open.*


((The End is near! Now you can switch the music off, only to switch this one on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kx6bEv28hO4
*Carefully leaving her shoes behind Elaine leans against the wall, standing on her feet only a little bit shaky and looks with glassy eyes to the human, who comes through the door. She raises her hand, bends her finger to wave the woman closer to her silently. And the woman understands this gesture and goes slowly to Elaine, also supporting herself on the wall with one hand, which is beside Elaine's head now. She looks at the Asari with shaky lips, raises her second hand and moves along Kysaek's lips with a finger, more brushing than pressing. Kysaek stays, still a little bit shaky, at the wall, while the other woman bends the head more and more forward, transforming the kiss into a firm meeting of lips, whereby Elaine raises her arm now to move along the back of the head of the human. Her eyes are closed partially thereby and the influence of drugs and alcohol is seen very well.The Asari grabs the hair of the woman carefully and allows herself to fall to the side – to the bed – and drags the woman in this way with herself. She lands on her back, the woman lying on Elaine, while they get observed by the second Asari, who is standing in the doorframe. A little bit further afar the Turian is sitting, seemingly asleep already and not reached the room in time. The hand of the second Asari moves along the doorframe, before she goes inside and closing the door thereby, locking it with a audible click, before she pulls her shirt over her head to throw it on the ground. She goes to the bed now, on which Kysaek and the human are lying, embraced with their arms, kissing. Then Kysaek whispers quietly.* "Embraced Eternity once?" *and is not able to deny herself a lovely smile. She gets a quiet answer.* "Few times…but one should broaden its experience always…" *The woman gets up then, kneeling over Kysaek's legs and pulling the shirt of her uniform over her head, directly followed by a white bra. It reveals lightly pink skin and firm breasts, which are probably equally big to Kysaek's. From the side the other Asari comes, almost carnivorous moving along the bed and stopping with her head over Kysaek's. Then she lowers it, opens her lips and kisses her dearly, while on the other hand the human grabs the pants of Elaine with her hands and opens the belt slowly. She pulls it from her hips, opens the button and zipper of the pants as well and begins to undress the pants of the Asari, smoothly and carefully. Thereby Kysaek raises her hips, as well like her legs, still kissing the second Asari, who closes her eyes for a moment. After few seconds they get open again, completely black now. The Asari whispers to the two.* "Embrace Eternity." *although the human doesn't feel anything of it, because she isn't in the field of vision of one of the Asari, but begins to move upwards slowly. She lies down beside Kysaek, brushes with her lips her cheek and now looks at the eyes of the other Asari, who is engulfed in a lightly blue shimmering. The hand of Kysaek presses lightly against the face of the Asari to raise her head in this way, before closing her eyes as well. Then she speaks.* "Embrace Eternity." *while her eyes turned black as well, what intensifies the intensity of the bodies even more. The other women grab in each case a side of Kysaek's underwear and pull it downwards, kissing the cheek of Elaine, even letting their tongues move along it. It is the beginning of an intimate and passionate night….

Little bit late, but here´re the choices from the last Chapter;o=)




1. Kysaek is on her way to her first mission for the Sisterhood, with some local gangsters. Seemingly it comes to inconveniences. Kysaek gets one of the gangsters alone, who is begging for his life. There are few possibilities how Kysaek could react: (think properly )

A – Kysaek doesn’t negotiate and kills the gangster simply.
A.1. - Kysaek doesn’t negotiate and arrests the gangster simply. (win by coin toos, because of a pendant)
B – Kysaek accepts the offered Credits, not exactly few and lets him go.
B.1. – Kysaek accepts the offered Credits, not exactly few but kills him still.
C - Kysaek accepts his offer to work for her from now on as a simple thug.
D - Kysaek accepts his offer to show her the way to a small Armory, which Kysaek can use for herself. Then she lets him go.
D.1.– Kysaek accepts his offer to show her the way to a small Armory, which
Kysaek can use for herself. Then she kills him still.

2. Although the meeting was taking place in a district, where isn’t much police control, Kysaek gets into a difficult situation, where she gets surrounded by a Police Unit, with a hidden face. What will she do?

A – The Asari tries to take close passerby as a hostage to smuggle herself out of this situation. (The Species is decided by chance)
B – The Asari tries to escape through a door behind her.
C – The Asari finds a canalization entrance below her feet and tries to escape via this.
D – The Asari tries to buy time by talking rubbish until her Sisters arrive. (win)
E – The Asari tries the hard way and wants to eliminate the whole Unit.

3.Tired, but at the end arrived at the end of the path, the Sisters celebrate in their Base the success of the mission and Kysaek, who has not relaxed for real for weeks nor even has gone to a party, does herself more than only proud. Alcohol and even one or two drugs are in her body…her awareness is more than limited…what could happen? (That you like for sure ^^)

A – Kysaek tries to get to her bed to sleep it off.
B – Kysaek’s thoughts are so unrestrained that she tries to hook up with Thais…or better meet with her in the bed.
B.1. - Kysaek’s thoughts are so unrestrained that she tries to hook up with Sha’riin…or better meet with her in the bed.
B.2. - Kysaek’s thoughts are so unrestrained that she tries to hook up with Relis…or better meet with her in the bed.
B.3. - Kysaek’s thoughts are so unrestrained that she tries to hook up with several unknown people… and not only one person.(win, by a coint toss...for real*g* But i bet the most of your have decided for this;O=) ))
C – Kysaek does it in her style and celebrates even more with her Sisters: More alcohol and drugs
C.1. – Kysaek does it in her style and celebrates even more with her Sisters, but doesn’t touch any more of that stuff.
D – Kysaek leaves the party for a bit, but doesn’t try to get to her bed, but instead wander around the Base.

Act 2: The End of the old Life
Chapter V: ...or not



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


*The n-ude bodies are lying closed spaced, as well like the faces of Kysaek and the other light blue skinned Asari, while the human is lying a little bit lower: her cheek is lying on the breast of Kysaek, while it is rising and lowering with the breathing. The blanket of Elaine is not big enough for all three of them and that's why is covering little, in the way of almost nothing.*

*Beside the bed, on a small nightstand is found a holographic clock, which small hand is found close to eight, while the bigger one is reaching the twelve. Kysaek lolls a bit, rubs with her thighs along the ones of the other Asari, moans satisfied and has still the eyes closed, when the clock reaches 8 o'clock and a melodic alarm call is heard followed by the words.* "Time to get up." *The sound leads to the fact that all three women move around a bit but no one really wakes up. Minutes pass until Elaine opens her eyes as the first, clothes her face in satisfied smiles, before looking first to the right and then downwards.* "Awesome…!" *she thinks, while the other two open their eyes slowly, stretching their bodies smoothly.* "Well Sweeties, finally woken up?" *Elaine grins for a moment, giving the Asari a kiss on her nose and the human a kiss on her forehead, before the other Asari says: "Such a Night….there everyone needs much sleep." *the human adds.* "It is 8 o'clock. So much sleep it wasn't, although we have slept quite long." *Elaine laughs quietly and winds herself slightly upwards, while the other two stay lying there. Kysaek shoves her pelvis to the edge of the bed and puts her feet on the ground, before bending her upper body forward, supporting her head with the right hand, which gets supported with the elbow on the knee.* "That was really an extraordinary Night …we should repeat this from time to time." *Elaine laughs quietly and gets a grinning nod from the Asari, while the human says: "We should…someday…" *During this she gets up slowly – is standing on the bed – and paces through the mountain of clothes, which is found at the ground. She bows down and searches seemingly for her clothes.*


"Okay Elaine…you have been stranded for weeks, but this party and this night from yesterday, have more than compensated for this." *she giggles mentally, still staying in her sitting position. Other thoughts cross her mind.* "But now it is the day after…and damn it, these drugs combined with the alcohol gave quite a kick…I feel like hashed and vomited.", she keeps her mind silent for a while.* "Well, hashed is right in a way…" *she laughs again mentally, before she calms down.* "This morning nothing is waiting for to be dealt with…at least I hope that,…maybe I should go back to bed and sleep a bit…" *she looks to the still lying Asari by this idea, but turns her eyes away again.* "Maybe later…but what has the Doc said yesterday…?" *her hand moves at her forehead for a while, when Elaine tries to remember the said things…she needs a moment.* "Oh yeah….when I want to have new clothes, I should order them…by this occasion I could dig around in the Extranet …maybe there is more …" *she grumbles in her head, "If I want to accomplish something against the ****s of PGI, I need more than Eclipse…I need to be someone and I need money…men, weap-…" *Elaine takes her second hand from the head"Argh my head is spinning…no, no…for this complex thoughts I am missing strength this morning." *she sighs mentally, while the human is dressed up almost completely in the meantime. She dresses in her shirt as the last thing, before turning to Elaine and the second Asari.* "So Sisters, I go to the Canteen now and eat breakfast...if there is something already. See ya." *she winks, while Elaine nods and the other Asari mumbles.* "Mhh c, ya…" *But then she turns her head away again, seeming to continue sleeping.* "Maybe a little bit movement would be good…I could see who is awake already, although mhh, no, no…there for the strength is still missing ….probably I would talk through my hat, but movement…yes, movement is good!", she nods to herself.* "I go to the Armory and do some early sports…then the brain becomes clear again." *She looks up, copies the human from earlier and dresses in her clothes step by step: underwear, then the remaining uniform. During dressing her pants she thinks.* "That is not my underwear…" *she looks to the other Asari for a moment.*"Ach, what the heck, it is the same I am wearing to my uniform." *Elaine shrugs her shoulders and closes the pants, before stretching her body.* "Let's go!" *she says quietly, opens the door and leaves the room to enter the quarter's area. She leans against the railing of the second level.* "Really not much is going on." *she murmurs, stretches her body again, while looking around the hall, before pushing herself away and going to the stairs.



(( Listen to this in your background ))
*The steps are slow and considered, although the Asari still seems to be shaky on her feet, while going the stairs down to the Armory. A short moment she stops listening to her surroundings, but she hears nothing and continues to go her way, before she pushes the button of the door to the Armory to get in there. The hand moves to the light switch, because only weak light is found in here. It lightens the whole room after a while, after pushing the button, and Kysaek looks around again: Absolutely nobody is here. But then her eyes stop at a corner of the Armory – a small one – in which various tools are found, only to go to them.* "There is clearly one advantage to be here alone: I have the agony of…" *she murmurs quietly, before she stops for a moment to continue talking after this.* "I have again such a déjà vu feeling…it reminds me of my last visit of Traffor's Gym." *The Asari puts her arms to her sides and looks at the few training tools one after another. Nothing extraordinary: few dumbbell benches, two treadmills, a punching bag, few jump ropes, which are found at a wall retainer, a pull-up bar and a bench with pull-up weights. But this time she doesn't need long and goes to the treadmill, switches it on – level 2 – and stands on it to begin with an easy Jogging walk: she bends her arms at the body, breathes in and out several times shortly, while the body begins to move slowly.* "One, two, one two, one, two…" *She repeats these words during her jogging over and over again, before spacing out.*


*At the foremost position are six persons, going back four additional lines, everyone uniformed, everyone Asari of every skin color. Loud is heard.* "Attention!" *whereupon everybody tenses up,the arms press at the sides of the body, eyes look forward stubbornly. From the side another Asari appears: quite bulky for her species, trained extremely, half of the face marked with a burn scar. She stops in front of the gathered group.* "Always when I look in your eyes, I know why the Asari were perished almost. We were lazy and rested on our oars, which were not enough by a long shot, to protect our civilization….then the Reapers showed us how weak we are and if I look at you…I believe they need to come back again."  *the Asari growls in a military voice, before adding.* "You are the worst unit of everyone. Why need I of everyone, a veteran, need to shape you? There it would be better, that I would make army uniforms with my own hands and even then it would be more helpful than to train you to be real soldiers…." it gets louder.* "Down with your a-sses and pushups!" *Thunderstruck the lines react and move in the position of pushups.* "For what are you waiting for?! Start!" *The bodies go down, before going up again with the help of the arms. This repeats itself over and over again, until a soldier asks after few moments.* "How many pushups, Ma'am?" *while still doing her training. In this way she catches the attention of the apparent trainer, who goes through the lines and stops in front of the asking Asari.* "How many you ask? I say you when you have enough!" *she roars again very loud, while putting her foot on the back of the Asari to push her down even more. It is obvious looking at the Asari at the ground that is even more exhausting than before. She gasps loudly.*"Don'tbelieve that this is military demeanor…no, Kysaek, you are a weak soldier, the worst of the unit…and when you collapse during your pushups, everyone will do this for whole two hours." *she growls pressing Kysaek down with her boot, while Kysaek tries to counter this by pressing upwards and in this way do her pushups. Almost thirty minutes she gets it done, but then her strength leaves her and her body collapses, the face in the dirty grass ground, panting fast.* "Ladies…thank Kysaek for two hours pushups for everyone!...and you Kysaek get back on your limbs and continue!" *After these words the trainer turns away, while Kysaek has caught the one or another look. She gets up again and continues her training, as well like everyone for the next two hours until the trainer roars.* "Enough! Move your a-sses to shower them. You stink…after failure." *The Asari turns away, as well like the others slowly looking quite exhausted. Some of them go instantly, to barge against Kysaek, who is even more exhausted, before she can go as well. In the locker room Kysaek realizes immediately the partially angry looks of her comrades, while she undresses herself slowly, but then feels a touch on her shoulder.*"Don't give it a second thought, Elaine…at the end the trainer treats us all bad. We are probably the ones, which need to suffer for the laziness of the Asari." *Kysaek looks to the other Asari, sighing.* "Yes, sure, you are right Malar, but still it is crap….and she is right in a certain sense. I am not good for much…" *Malar smirks.* "Don't allow too many stupidities be planted in your mind. Everyone starts small…"
((Now you can switch off the music.))


*The body is tensed and the muscles are seen well – at least the ones which are there – while the Asari presses her big dumbbell upwards. Her mien is focused, while the body is covered in sweat.* "Everyone starts small ….how right you were Malar…the worst of the unit…f-uck you, you dirty Asari S-lut." *she growls and hefts the dumbbell on its retainer, breathing deeper few times, before she gets her upper body upright on the bench. The right hand touches her face shortly, to wipe away the stream of sweat from it, before she gets up from the bench to stretch a bit.* "Ufff…that was more than an hour…this is enough for now…now showering." *she sighs quietly, "Maybe together with the other Asari…whose name I need to know for sure." *she nods to herself, before she starts going slowly to the exit of the Armory, which is still empty.When Elaine enters the Main Hall she sees now, that it got lively in the meantime: some sisters are sitting on a bench and chat, while another group is found close to Relis Azkar. But this time Elaine doesn't think of talking with someone or similar things, and goes instead instantly to the stairs during this she runs into someone. She collapses backwards on the stairs, but gets grabbed by a hand in the last moment and pulled back on her feet.* "Hey, small one, it would be better, if you watch out …otherwise the time with us would be quite short." *Jor laughs and Elaine smirks.* "I am exhausted a bit from my training session. After the party I needed a clear brain first." *The female Krogan nods.* "Yes, have seen like you went to the Armory a while ago. At this time of the day we were the only ones awake already …and the Captain, but she needed to go somewhere." *Kysaek looks quizzically.* "Whereto went the Captain?" *On this question the Krogan shrugs with her shoulders.* "Don't know. She said only that she needs to do some things and will be back in few hours." *Kysaek nods to this saying.* "Alright…I need to do one thing as well: Showering." *to this Jor agrees.* "There you are right, arhahehehe. See you." *The Krogan passes Kysaek to go the stairs down then, while Elaine goes them up, direction her quarter. Slowly she opens the door and sees the still sleeping Asari, who writhes nude beneath the blanket. She opens her eyes, after Kysaek has closed down the door loudly.* "Well, slept enough?" *Kysaek asks the other Asari, who stretches however. "I believe slowljahhhhhh…" *she yawns and Elaine laughs.* "Well maybe I have the right stimulant for you to wake up: I want to shower, want to accompany me?" *she grins shortly and gets there for a smirk from the other one.* "With pleasure…" *she answers and throws the blanket from her body, while Elaine undresses in the meantime. Then the other Asari spins the faucet open – only weakly – before leaning with her back against the grey room wall. She looks at Elaine waiting for her, while Kysaek has reached her underwear right now. She gets under way, undressing her bra thereby and leaving her panties on the ground, whereby she almost falls over, but gets a hold of herself in time only to climb in the small area of the shower, which gets encompassed by the glass partition once again. Then the other Asari spins the faucet open for real and Kysaek jitters a bit.* "Wah! Is this cold. Hopefully it gets warm fast…" *The other Asari laughs.* "Don't worry. As long we are together here, it will not become cold once again." *During these words both laugh amused and put down their arms around each other, while the water is splashing on their bodies. Almost like in a dance they rotate inside the shower slowly, still the arms around each other, while the water has engulfed every spot of their bodies after some time. During this the other Asari puts her head back to expose her neck and Kysaek begins to kiss her there, while both bodies press against each other lightly. They stay in this position for few minutes, until Kysaek whispers.* "Tell me, how is your name?" *Of course she doesn't interrupt her kisses saying this. The other Asari replies.* "Mhhrrr I know you are…Palia and I am…"


*The Asari can't say the name even a bit, when a strong tremor throws them off balance and smash them lightly against the wall, while they struggle successfully to keep on their feet.* "By the Goddess, what was that?" *Kysaek grumbles and gets a shrill siren as an answer.* "Alert, Alert, unauthorized Object dashed into the Main Hangar; Alert, Alert, unauthorized Object dashed into the Main Hangar…" *The announcement repeats itself several times, but seemingly a real voice and no automatic one. Elaine spins the faucet to end the showering, while the glass partition drives down.* "Sound like trouble…" *she says and the other Asari adds.* "This siren is the highest alert stage…we should get ready, because it is not used recklessly." *After the glass partition is down, the other Asari runs to her clothes and dresses in them hectically, while Elaine goes immediately to the opposite wall and opens the shelf in which her armor is found still. First she dresses in her underwear from the shelf, before she begins to dress into the armor itself and the other Asari runs in the direction of the door already.* "I need to go to my room. We will see us down there!" *The door closes again, while Elaine dresses in the leg armor and the boots, grumbling.* "I suspect something bad…it is always the same: If I feel well again, some a-ssholes come and destroy everything." *She finalizes dressing her chest armor, puts the bracer around her joints and followed by the armor gloves. The helmet comes at the end, together with her weapons, which she puts on her back, grumbling again, when another announcement is heard.* "Warning, Warning, not identified gathering of troops tries to hack the Main Entrance; several unknown Gunships and Shuttles encircle the whole district." *The announcement repeats itself several times again, but Kysaek has left her room already, running quickly the stairs down, gasping.* "D-amn it! Maybe the training was not such a good idea at all …gnarh …clench your teeth Elaine, it will not kill you …maybe!" *she speaks to herself looking down to the Main Hall thereby and finding over and over again Sisters and Mechs, which run in different directions. She lifts her head, when another announcement is heard.* "Main Entrance was cracked, unknown troops storm the Base; Main Hangar under fire, hostile Mechs get unloaded." *Kysaek draws her Mattock from her back and gets it ready, growling, and a little muffled through the helmet.* "Maybe the gangsters try to take revenge…Nhrg, who cares! The Captain is not here and I don't know where Jor is. Should I go to the Main Entrance or the Main Hangar…or maybe stay here to hold the line…" *Slightly nervous and teetering with her feet she thinks over this, but then looks to the door, which leads to the Main Hangar.* "That with the Mechs sounds bad. I go to the Level Two in the Main Hangar." *she says seriously and focused, puts her Mattock on her shoulder, beginning to run slowly.


((Now listen to   This soundtrack you can hear for quite some time now )
*Even before the Asari touches the door switch, she can hear quite well the amount of shooting noise from the other side. She opens the door and increases her speed after entering the Hangar. She looks first left then right, before she stops at the railing to overview the situation.The Main Hangar is much bigger than the Secondary Hangar: Four Gunships and Two Shuttles are found inside the docking area, but from which no one has started still. At the roof is a big, automatic double cannon attached, while to each side are found single cannons, only half as big as the roof one. Various boxes are piled in the Hangar and are a splendid cover in this way, for the Sisters as well like for the landing Mechs, which get reloaded by the 'Gripping Lifts' over and over again, while some are also destroyed by the cannons.*

((Imagine the cannons like the ones from Mass Effect 3 during the Mars Mission, while trying to get on the train. And Gripping Lift is that thing from the Mass Effect 2 Garrus Loyalty Mission. I had no clue how I should call them. )

*The Asari recognizes six sisters down there, for example Jor, as well like various Security Mechs with the Eclipse Logo, while on her level are two sisters in the control room of the Hangar. Elaine aims with her rifle and starts to fire single shots from above. With the first shot she destroys the head of a Mech; another one loses his arm, before she goes into cover, when several Mechs start to fire at her. But this on the other hand allows her Sisters from Level One to come out of their cover and shoot down quite much of the hostile units. Unfortunately this leads to nothing, because more and more Mechs get unloaded, what makes it impossible to reach the Gunships in their bays. Over and over again Kysaek shoots – also on the Gripping Lifts – before following the flying route of them with her eyes.She taps on the side of her helmet to change the Interior Display to an extended View. She is able to see a bigger Truck in the distance, below which a Container is jammed, from which the Mechs come out one after another. She also notices the Gunship, which is passes the Docking area flying, but Kysaek can't see the Logo of it. After this she begins to speak via radio still.* "Jor, the Mechs are coming from this big Truck, which is floating in a certain distance." *Growling the female Krogan answers via radio.* "D-amn it, we can't start our Gunships and it is only a matter of time till their Gunships start to fire at us.".*the Krogan makes a break, before she continues.* "For now we can only repel wave after wave and hope that their Mechs run out sometime…Behind this seems to be a plan: They try it with pure mass." *Repeatedly Jor fires a 'Carnage'-Energy Blast with her Shotgun, as well like the other Sisters fire with their weapons in the same time, supported by their Mechs and one YMIR-Mech, which steps out from one part of the wall, which opens upwards. It begins to fire with its big automatic cannon.* "Here Secondary Hangar, Gunship Five and Six have started." *is heard via radio, followed by Dios' voice.* "We started finally. Now I can test the new upgrades!" *Kuren replies to this: "Hopefully this time you make somebody else wet…" *Then Jor informs them.* "Try to get through to the Main Hangar. We need to bring down this Container Ship." *Dios and Kuren reply only.* "Understood, Boss." *The Twins turn around with their Gunship and dodge the firing of the hostile Gunships, closely followed by the second Gunship of the Sisterhood.*


*Somewhere else, in a weakly lightened room, but there for stuffed full with aplenty of Monitoring equipment as well like Communication devices, a strict voice orders.* "This i-diotic Troop Leader is stuck at the Main Entrance; this means it is depending on us to bring some movement in there…" *it makes a break.* "Onmy order you smother the Hangar with curtain fire of the Gunship and then unload the still missing Mechs. Thirty seconds after this one Gunship should play the decoy and attract the fire of the hostile cannons in this way, while a second one should undertake an attacking flight, aiming at the Main Cannon and after this our six Four-Men-Groups Hyper-Mechs get unloaded." *Several times* "Yes, Sir." *is heard in the room, before all this orders get typed in the panels, and in this way remitted. Shortly after this all hostile Gunships pass the Docking area with a slight swift movement and fire their missiles blindly, what forces the Sisters in their cover. After this missiles strike down permanently and ablaze parts of the Hangar in this way, while one missile even destroys the left cannon and another one hits in the Control Room, breaking the windows, killing one of the sisters and sending the other one flying beside Kysaek.After this the attack of missiles ends and crowds of Gripping Lifts – with Mechs of course – fly in and unload them in the front as well like the rear area of the Hangar, whereby still some cannons and Sisters destroy some of them. Every bulkhead of the Container below the gigantic Truck is still open and the Mechs remind everyone of a never-ending swarm of locusts. The cannons can't destroy them equally fast as they come in, before changing their priority to a Gunship floating in a certain distance. It can dodge the fire of the cannons, while several hundred meters behind it a second Gunship comes flying. Inside of it the second pilot types on the panels, aiming at the bigger cannon until the Gunship is close enough to fire four missiles, which hit it and destroy the defense in a big ball of fire. The Sisters need to get into cover again, when metal comes falling down, together with fire, which hits friend as well like the enemy.But this attack has still not stopped, because – like ordered – now the Hyper-Mechs get sent via Gripping Lift: First one group, then a second and a third, when suddenly several missiles hit the engine of the big Truck and it goes into a spin. It tries to starts its jets, but the huge truck can't keep itself in position, whirls around faster and faster to the ground, while via hostile radio is heard.* "We have lost the Mechs; repeat: the Mechs are destroyed and two hostile Gunships come flying." *Quiet but decisive comes the answer.* "We have nine Gunships. Blow them away." *Barely this statement was spoken, the Gunship behind Kuren fires his missiles. It shreds the wings of the enemy into pieces, which leads to a crashing against a wall of a building. "Sir we have 8 Gunships now." is heard via the hostile radio immediately and the answer is equally fast: "That doesn't change anything about my command. Blow them away." "Of course, Sir." *the voice replies, typing the commands on the panel. In the meantime the Sisters – now only the half of earlier – leave their cover, but couldn't stop the landing of the three groups of Hyper-Mechs anymore, which hit the ground and activate themselves.*


"Battle Net initialized, Connection to allied Units online." *they murmur with their electronic voices, before going immediately into cover, armed with assault rifles, pistols and Shotguns. The Sister beside Kysaek taps on a panel at the railing, murmuring.* "Go down the ladder here on this platform. Soon one cannon will appear there. I…" she takes her Viper from her back.* "…take this here. We need to cover the ones below us." *Elaine nods quickly, gets up and gets the ladder down – sliding down – on a platform, which reminds of a tower. On its side a cannon appears from the ground, pointing upwards first, before redirecting its barrel forward. Elaine climbs inside, while the first group of Hyper-Mechs advance, covered by the fire of the second group. Jor growls.* "Come, you Sheet B-astards!" *During these words she draws a grenade, while Kysaek starts to fire and eliminates two of the Hyper-Mechs immediately. In this way she gives her Sisters an obvious advantage, because the Mechs are forced behind cover, when the Krogan throws her grenade, which flies in a round curve until it lands beside the rest of Group One, only to shred them into pieces. Kysaek continues to fire at the Mechs, moving left and right the whole time, as well like reloading when the ammo is overheated, only to continue fire after this. She perforates more and more boxes, taking away the cover of the Mechs, which switch to Mute Mode – not evident for the others. Their shields get down, but there for their speed increases noticeable, but this was what the Sister in Level Two with her Viper was waiting for.Fire from below, fire from the tower and fire from the top, drives the Hyper-Mechs apart ultimately, only to be shot down one by one until Jor yells.* "Was this everything?!" *The answer comes quickly, when the last, still working, cannon at the side gets destroyed by a missile attack and the responsible Gunship begins to float in the Docking area, firing everywhere. The female Krogan says via radio.* "There is coming a Shuttle. They try to land." *Elaine responds gasping.* "The Gunship doesn't allow me much space to fire back!" *Despite the precarious situation the lightly amused voice of Kuren is heard via radio.* "One destroyed Gunship is delivered immediately." *The female Salarian pulls a lever back to increase her speed in this way, while being chased by two enemies. She flies directly to the Gunship in the Hangar and is close to a collision. One of the hostile Gunships behind Kuren, fires its main guns, but Kuren dodges it again by raising her Ship in the last possible moment to avoid the collision in this way, but the from the both pursuers only the rear one can still dodge this, while the front one crashes directly into it destroying both in this way, while the Shuttle which passed a moment earlier tries to land in the Docking area.* "Kysaek, finish them off!" *Jor roars and Elaine lifts her head, works the slide of her cannon and fires at the closer coming, flying Shuttle, to be precise on its rear engines. The left one gets destroyed and the Shuttle gets thrown out of its balance, whereby the pilot still can counteract, but still crash-lands, which results in the bursting into flames of the rear part. The door of the Shuttle opens and one can see clearly, like few soldiers in black uniforms leave it, before they get greeted by a storm of fire and shot down to the last man.* "PGI!? From where these s-wines know that you are here?" *Jor growls looking upwards.* "There you ask the wrong one…" *Kysaek sighs, before Jor responds.* "Well whatever…for now. It seems that the Hangar is safe for now. Move your a-ss better. If we can trust the radio, they break through the Main Entrance soon!" *The Asari climbs down from the cannon, slides the ladder of tower down and nods to Jor. In the meantime the Sister on the upper level types on the panel, before along a wide front – directly in front of Jor and the others – small cannons appear from the ground – four in total.* "I hit the road then." *she says putting her Mattock on her shoulder again, before she turns around and goes to the exit of the Main Hangar.*

((To the Cannon-Thing: Imagine it similar to that what the Cerberus Tech from Mass Effect 3 could do, but only bigger. )

*The Main Hall is safe, while Kysaek looks around for a while: few tables are knocked over and are used as cover, the door leading to the Main Entrance beside the Sickbay is still closed and on the opposite side on the upper level, one spring cannon is positioned, as well like on each side seemingly snipers. Elaine moves the wall along, passes the Sickbay door and is about to open the door to the Main Entrance, when it opens itself and hostile fire is shot through it, followed by two escaping Eclipse Sisters, whereby one of them is hit at the back with a small explosion. She gets sent flying, while the other one entrenches herself behind one of the tables. In the meantime Kysaek has stepped back a bit, kneels down, gets her weapon ready and realized not before now that the hit Sister is Sha'riin, who is lying motionless on the ground with a broken mask.For Elaine it is not visible from the side, but the other Sisters see how it is shot around the corner repeatedly. They return the fire and pin down the PGI Troops apparently in this way, while Kysaek goes back again at the side to go behind a cover and in this way getting a good position for shooting. Over and over again she fires, but doesn't hit an enemy, whereby the positions have come to a deadlock until the enemies don't dare to leave their cover and the Sisters stop to fire that's why, but still aiming at the door.Suddenly a loud stamping is heard, which resounds and is definitely from mechanical origin – probably a closer coming Mech. A foot is visible: quite flat and the leg is noticeable bigger than by a normal YMIR-Mech, but too small for an Atlas-Mech. The weapons of the Sisters are still aiming at the door, but wait for now seemingly, while they see only a foot. The machine seems to have stopped. Only seconds later it begins to move again, bending down a bit, but with increased speed: It is similar to an Atlas-Mech, because it has a pilot, but it is still a little bit smaller and more mobile. It kneels down, gets its cannon ready, which is connected via a magazine with the rest, and it begins to fire, as well like the Sisters, but it seems that the weapon of this new Mech works like a small Flak. The barrel is raised a bit and perforates the cannon on the other side of the hall, inclusively the user, while behind the machine troops storm in, covered by the Mech. They spread out to all directions instantly, take cover in front of columns and 'Plant boxes'.The shields of the Mech die quite fast, but it gets up again, goes few steps, continuing to fire with ear-deafening noise and can damage the tables and the other protections of the Sisters heavily, while both Snipers from above, start to target the enemies and kill one after another of them, as well like Kysaek, who has rushed recklessly to the centre of the free ground to grab the Widow, which was still lying beside the dead Sha'riin. She puts it on her shoulder, gasps mentally.* "Hopefully this was a good idea…I have not a similar suit, although my biotic Barrier can compensate this…" *She aims at the cockpit of the Mech pilot, which is still 'in use', and fires the Widow. It breaks through the bulletproof glass and let's literally explode the head of the enemy, whereupon the machine breakdowns lifeless, what leads to confusion in the lines of the enemy and allows the Sisters to kill them. The Asari is lying in the meanwhile with her back on the ground, the rifle still at her shoulder, which she checks right now.* "Apparently everything is still there, where it should be…" *she thinks, but gets thrown out of her thoughts instantly, when this is heard via radio.* "This s-****** is landing in the Hangar! We can't stop them lon-!" *The connection gets interrupted, while the Eclipse Sisters regroup, but retreat further at the rear of the hall. Kysaek on the other hand gets up and goes panting to the Hangar door, but here the game from the Main Entrance repeats itself: The remaining units run out of the Hangar – as well like from the upper door the sniper comes – and as the last the female Krogan passes the door, looking and firing still with her Shotgun in the direction of the Hangar, until she positions herself at the wall beside the door, as well like Kysaek, who leans right beside her.* "How is it looking inside?" *she asks gasping and Jor grumbles only.* "They have fired missiles at us again, before they put down a new kind of Mech. Thanks to this some Shuttles could land in the Docking area." *Elaine curses.* "Damn it, what are we doing now?" *The female Krogan reloads her Shotgun and laughs.* "We kick them in their asses. Follow me!"

(Only that you know how these new Mechs look like: It is like some may know the robot-similar suit used in the Blockbuster Movie "Avatar" from James Cameron. So in a way it isn't a Mech, but more a second skin…and they name follows later And that i use again a thing from Avatar means not i´m a fanboy, but it´s the best example*g*)

*In the Main Hangar gather several units, black uniformed with the PGI Logo. At the lead is this new Mech and beside him is Terr, who grumbles grimly to the Comlink.* "Phonor, the hangar was conquered, but the group at the Main Entrance was finished off definitely…exactly like we have predicted it." *Phonor, who is in the already mentioned, lightly dark room, replies.* "That was expected, but that shouldn't bother us. There for, we have positioned a unit at the Main Entrance: Simultaneously advancing from two directions and clear the remaining Base of." The Krogan replies in familiar manner.* "Understood, Sir." *In the Main Hall the remaining Sisters – only ten now – retreated till to the end, with the back to the entrance of the Secondary Hangar.* "Only for the worst-case scenario…is there another exit out of the Base?" *Elaine asks and gets this answer of one Sister.* "There is a side exit in the Secondary Hangar, but we heard from the Command Center that they are there as well, but there for have problems to unlock the Security lock." *The fist of Kysaek hammers against the wall cursing.* "S-hit…" *Jor emulates her deeds, but adds snorting.* "We don't need to retreat. We hunt these bastards out of our home." *The weapons get reloaded, while the Main Entrance as well like Hangar Door are in range, the fingers already at the trigger. Like earlier, they hear the stamping of the mechanic construction, which seems to come closer to the door. They focus to it, but don't care there for too much to look at the second Level, where a door opens and several units storm in, in the lead by a soldier with a big metal shield.* "They come from above!" *one of the snipers yell and start to fire, while in the same time the Main Entrance opens again: at the front two soldiers with big metal shields, followed directly by a Biotic user, because the entering unit is engulfed by a barrier, which protects them against enemy fire. At the end the Mech passes through the door of the Main Hangar in the Hall, puts his canons at the ready and begins to fire at the position of the enemy, breaking through the 'plant boxes' thereby, shredding a Sister into pieces literally.* "Jor, this is Madness. No matter how much I appreciate the krogan will to fight, but they will finish us off." *Kysaek grumbles and the Krogan growls only.* "The Captain rips us a new one, if we chicken out in front of them…they have killed too many of us already. With this they are not allowed to get through!" *The female Turian from Kysaek's unit says.* "But she is right. We should better retreat to the Secondary Hangar. Either we escape from there or we will be able to repel them there." *The Krogan wants to answer, but from above is heard.* "You s-luts are dead, harhahaha." The beefy Krogan Terr jumps down, lands right in front of Jor, who aims with her Shotgun at him, but he punches it away from her hands. On the other hand she punches him hard in the belly and gets in this way in a melee fight with him.* "Go to the Hangar. I'll show it this s-kunk!" *she growls as well like Ter.* "We will see." *Both Krogans got stuck between each other, whirl around wildly, while hitting each other with a punch after another, while a bullet shots down another Sister. The remaining ones succeeds to get through the door desperately and rescue themselves in the Secondary Hangar, whereby Kysaek fires at the box beside the door control, as well like the last sniper, who comes from Level two of the Main Hall in the Hangar. In this way they block the ways in.The head moves forward fast, while Jor hits Terr at full tilt, which forces him to step back unsurely, when a Salarian tries to attack from behind, but she notices him in time. She turns around, punches him in the stomach – hard – grabs his head at his helmet and hammers it several times at the railing of the view, before letting him go to run to her Shotgun and reload it. She fires one time and hits one soldier, who collapses, while Terr is in balance once again and begins to storm at her roaring.* "DIE!" *The female Krogan wants to aim at him with her Shotgun, but he punches upwards and Jor needs to let her Shotgun go once again, while Terr simultaneously draws a Carnifex with his free hand, presses it against Jor's chin and fires. The bullet gets through her chin as well like the skullcap and she collapses slowly.* "Narhahaha, so it is done!" *the man growls and waves with one arm.* "Move your a-sses. Check the rooms there!" *he says while pointing at the door to the Canteen and the Armory as well like to the Command Center.* "The others follow me!" *The Krogan begins to move in the direction of the Secondary Hangar.In the meantime the last Sisters gather in the Hangar, whereby Kuren speaks via radio: "We have shot down five Gunships, but there for we are the last one of us still flying, while three of them dog us and the others still fly around the Base." *Doctor Relis answers to this.* "We have understood Kuren. Try to continue to give us cover, while I care for the wounded here and the others hold the line." *Relis moves with her Omni-Tool over a Sister, who is lying on the ground beneath a blanket, to analyze the body of the woman probably.* "Hang on, you'll make it." *the Drell says to her, whereby there are still lying two further Sisters beside her, while the still remaining ones fit for action spread out in the Hangar – five in total.* "If they wouldn't have fired at the Shuttle here, we could escape with this." *the female Turian murmurs, looking to the Shuttle, which is still hanging in the Docking area, obviously destroyed.* "But we can't do anything else, except to try to fight. They have surrounded us." *Kysaek tells them seriously, lifting her eyes to the second level, after at the roof sparks are sent out* "What is that?" *she asks pointing at it, whereupon every one lifts her head.* "They come through the Supply Shafts!" *the Turian says as well like Relis, who points to the left.* "Through this shaft as well!" *Also both doors, which lead from the Main Hall in the Hangar, are looking like being welded open.* "They come from every direction! Pull the wounded as far away as possible and dig yourself at the back!" *Kysaek yells with a commanding voice and everyone follows it: they pull the wounded far to the back beside the Docking area, behind boxes and fortify in the position as well like Kysaek. The Snipers on the second floor grab a Cobra Rocket Launcher from a gun locker, kneel down and aim at the shaft in the left corner.*



((The Final of this Chapter is near! And now you can switch the music off only to switch to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCGRkXC6-e4 ))
*The shafts open and the female soldiers are waiting with her rocket launcher, while almost simultaneously the doors open. From the right shaft the first two soldiers appear, but get greeted instantly by the fire of the fortified Sisters. Unfortunately they get immediately cover by the railing at the second floor, as well like it would be the case for the ones from the left shaft, but the snipers fire their Rocket Launchers and this results in a big explosion, after which the moaning of pain is heard of the – partially – burning soldiers.* "You will not beat us!" *the female sniper nods seriously, but gets perforated in this moment from the back – the units, which pass the door and spread out slowly at the railing.* "It looks bad, really bad…how the hell we get out of here?" *Relis asks hectically, while Elaine grumbles.* "Sometimes there are not much options…but maybe…" *The Asari grabs her helmet and begins to speak via radio.* "Kuren, Dios, are you hearing me?" *The answer comes simultaneously.* "Yes." Elaine continues to speak.* "Are you able to dock with your Gunship here?" *Kuren says.* "We have still four further Gunships at the sky…it could become difficult, what have you in mind?" *Elaine keeps it short.* "Gunships have indeed only little storage room, but we are not many anymore…our only chance to get out here is via your Gunship. You need to pick us up."*Through a static Dios replies.* "That will be tight in the storage room." Kuren: "But it is the only possibility. We are on our way." *Elaine nods to herself.* "Hurry up. We can't repel them much longer." *After these words she raises her Mattock again to aim at the hostile Soldiers, before beginning to shoot several times. She hits one at the belly, who falls over the railing to the ground, although in this room also PGI troops spread out and prevent that the trapped ones fire back almost completely.* "Continue firing. I give us cover." *Elaine says, before raising her arms to create a small barrier around her unit in this way, which the bullets hit now and allows the Sisters to fire now over and over again, but the PGI units use the same tactic like in the Main Hall: Two soldiers with metal shields go in the front, behind them the Biotic user, which create also a barrier.* "It becomes tight…" *the Turian says, pointing to all sides hectically.* "It seems that they are coming through the side exit of the Base now!" *And indeed someone tries to get through the door.* "Hah, it looks like the units there get off the stick finally!" *Terr spits. The door opens slowly with brute force – judging from the
shimmering of biotic nature – until the heavy metal plates get pressed apart gradually, before a strong press opens them completely.*


*Kysaek's barrier breaks down for a moment and two additional sisters get shot down with hostile bullets and collapse lifeless on the ground, directly in front of the eyes of Thais, whose body is engulfed in biotic Energy. She whispers slowly but angrily.* "My girls…what have you done…my girls…what have you done to them!" *The Asari, who is standing in the side exit, splits up her arms and fires her biotic in every direction for fury, before she bends her foot back and bends down her body forward. She gathers the energy of her whole body, before the enemy notices her even and the Captain flashes in a storybook biotic attack at them: Extremely strong. Thais hits the soldiers with their shields and causes them to sway tremendous, as well like a small area of this distance behind her, which gets whirled up cause of the attack and the pull of the energy. Then she draws her Predator Pistol, shots aimed at the heads of the two as well like the biotic user and equally fast as they collapse, she repeats the action. She bends her body and flashes at the second floor.* "The Captain…" *Elaine coughs.* "I believe now I know why they call her the Blue Lightning…" *Sapto hits the upper floor against the next unit, fires once, hits with the stock of her pistol against the visor of a soldier, and hits another one with a strong Warp, which sends him flying against a wall.* "KILL THIS W-HORE!" *Terr roars loudly, but Thais is looking back again, when a group of PGI soldiers tries to attack the fortified ones from the flank. She gathers her biotic energy within seconds and flashes forward, transforming herself thereby in a small, blue and spiky sphere, which actually looks like a fast lightning. She impacts in front of the unit, dives behind a female soldier to break her neck a moment later and throw her dead body at another soldier, before drawing her pistol to fire at several heads again. During this she looks over her shoulder, after hearing the murmuring of the female Turian, who got hit in the chest and collapses beside Kysaek.Only Kysaek and the doctor are still alive, because two of the three wounded have died in the meantime and Relis tries to keep the last one alive, but this is, facing such a supremacy, rather senseless, while it turns around to Thais, who is looking like she would like to attack them in a storming manner again, when suddenly several missiles hit the enemy lines. At the ground as well like at the second floor and the doors loud clamor is heard, even from Terr, while the remaining Eclipse Sisters follow the trace of the missiles only to see like a Gunship flies at the Docking area, spinning around its axis quite fast during this flight, before it lands in it. "Get in there! We have no minute before they pin us down here!" *is heard via radio from Kuren.* "Kysaek, help me!" *the doctor says while point at the wounded, whose arm is around Relis' shoulder. Elaine nods and gets on the other side, takes the arm around her neck, but looks as well to Thais.* "We need to get away now, Captain!" *The Captain looks around the Hangar, which is filled with corpses, from Eclipse like PGI, from burning fire as well like fuming boxes.* "I am so sorry, Sisters…I will revenge you!" *she nods speaking quietly simultaneously and then runs to the Gunship, which has opened its ramp. The doctor as well like Elaine pull the wounded to the Gunship, get in the rear like Thais, before the ramp closes and Kuren throws the lever forward, speaking via radio.* "Hold on, we will spring everything from this baby, what it can offer and move on from Illium!"



((And here comes the last Soundtrack, switch off the other one! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8tRhgzUMo8
*The female Salarian doesn't promise too much: the Gunship increases its speed extremely instantly, leaves the Docking area, escapes only just the missiles of closer coming Gunships, whereby two Gunships stay chasing their rear.Dios says.* "Fly between the canyons of the buildings. There they can't dodge our toys so easily."
Kuren: "Okay, Sister." *The Gunship lowers its height, dodges the rush-hour traffic in bold maneuvers, directly behind them the two Gunships of PGI, which fire missiles regardless of the consequences, as well like the main guns and hit in this way over and over again various Skycars or Transporters.* "It would be better to leave the more lively Skyroads. They shoot at everything till it is destroyed." *Kuren says and Dios agrees.* "Good idea." *The Gunship flies a sharp left bend in a tunnel, which is running apparently below a bigger District complex. Almost no traffic is found here.* "Are the pieces ready?" *Kuren asks and Dios answers.* "Ready, aiming at the Gunship annnnnnnnndddddd…fire!" *Dios pushes the button in this moment and directly beside the nozzle of the Gunship two holes appear, out of each one a round object with a peak comes flying. The objects hit one of the pursuers, pierce with the peak through metal, start to blink red and explode after a while. In this way the heavily damaged Gunship has an accident.* "That was number one…I bet with you number two thinks to be very clever right now." *Dios laughs as well like Kuren.* "That I bet too." *The finger moves to the button again, while the Gunships fly higher again leaving the tunnel of the complex in this way.* "Annddddddddd….baboom." *Once again Dios pushes the button, after saying these words, whereby this time two vents appear below the ramp only to fire again two round objects, which the hostile Gunship wants – seemingly expecting this – to dodge. First the devices blink only in red light, while flying at the Gunship and passing it as well, but then a blue light appears and they cling to the rear of the Gunship, which disappears in a big explosion as well now and crashes after this.* "He has imagined this so easy…magnets." *Dios laughs, while Kuren navigates the Gunship higher and higher in a steepening course. She crosses the cloud roof of Illium until the Gunship leaves the atmosphere…..*



Ennnndddddd, dingding;) This is the End of Act 2 but the Story has just begun! The next Chapter would need time, because it´s very big. Hope this one has enjoyed your:devil: The Choices follow in the next Post later

Modifié par Pain87, 12 janvier 2013 - 12:24 .

[Pain87]

Okay, here´re the choices from Chapter V, Act 2 and a little bit more:=)

1. The day after the party has started, Kysaek’s head is pounding…how you begin the day?
A – The Asari wants to get over the hangover first and relaxes simply.
B – The Asari wants to do a little bit sports and goes to train. (win, so says the coin toss)
C – A tour through the Base is on the agenda, where she wants to speak with the same faces once again.
D – Kysaek is full of beans, now after she have become a Sister and got her first money. She looks in the Extranet after some possibilities to invest it.

2. An Attack! Seemingly the gangsters want to take revenge, while a horde of Mechs attack the main entrance (beside the Sickbay) as well like the Main Hangar. Kysaek doesn’t get orders, what
will she do?

A – She goes to the Main Hangar (win)
B – She goes to the Main Entrance
C – She waits in the big Hall, between both points.


Choice 2 is a special. I gave the Community the Illussion of a choice but not matter which Choice they took, the result were the same. Some times you can have the best Soldiers, a Base etc.  but the result is the same....little bit like Virmire, no matter who you rescue or what you do first....the other one will die.


Since i´m writing here:


The translation of the next chapter will take some time, because it is long and in the meanwhile the Germans will enjoy Chapter 10, Act III.
But no, I wanted to tease you only ;-) Our Translator has translated quite much in the last time and has outrun the german Version...almost


And at last:

Furthermore, so you can see that this Fanfic isn't only something written completely off the cuff. Behind all this is an idea, a big plot, which will, if the readers/deciders will choose this (so also Side Stories), be extending to at least 200 to 300 chapters or differently said: ME4, ME5, ME6.
Not everying is planned right down to the last detail (there for I would need Teams such a big head I don't have.
This means there are mountains of notes here ;P.), but I had some - rough - ideas in my mind already, before I even started to write this , whereby my focus now is of course on ME4. Its way to the final mission is quite certain already.

I will part further thoughts of such kind with you during the next Act to undergrid this statemant. ;P

[Pain87]

/push! More than 2000 Views …that has earned a PUSH!


While we´re on it...


Only so few comments! Of course you can say what do you think about it, if bad, good or something in between...
Short sentences would be enough. 2000 Views but almost no comment...it can't be that only the curious ones look into this thread!
Of course you shouldn't write a half-side long review, if you think this is a feedback The opinion and potential questions would be enough and, dear readers, they are also quite important!
You can also write a PM to me. That doesn't bother me. I appreciate every Feedback.

[Pain87]

*Push for a Question* Is there Somebody who is good in translation German/English?
With help the other Chapters could be finished quicker.

P.S. Chapter 1 Act 3 is coming soon.

[Pain87]

I know it, your´ve waited for a few days, for more of this Story*g* here it comes, Act 3, Chapter 1:=)


Act 3: The cars are being reshuffled
Chapter 1: Tactical Withdrawal


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



*The forelegs press to the ground, the body moves slowly through the corridor in which various people look and sit as well, but not on chairs, but instead on the partially clean ground. Few are looking up; others hide their faces between their legs. Asari, Batarians, Vorcha, Turians,…everyone is represented. The bulky Elcor moves forward, passes after few minutes a corner, in which a table is found and a corner booth, on which a female Drell is sitting, together with two female Salarians – one is sleeping, the other is crossing her legs and looks thoughtful, while the Drell is taking a drag of her cigarette and her head is engulfed by a hood of the grey cloak, she wears. At the wall opposite of her an Asari is leaning, crossing the arms and lowering her head. She wears lightly worn shoes and black cloth pants, while the upper body is covered in a light brown Poncho and around her head is coiled in a scarf, which has the same color like the Poncho. The violet eyes of the Asari move up: first to the Drell and the two Salarians, then further right to a small window, in front of which another Asari is standing, looking at the Darkness of Space. She wears a longer, white robe with red side stripes and a hood – similar to the Drell ones – which is longer at the rear but there for open, probably because of the hair cartilage, over which a grey cloth is found, which is long enough to reach the forehead of the Asari – apparently a cap. The eyes of the first Asari with the scarf go back. She lowers her then slowly and stares at the cold, grey metal ground and in her mind's eye she begins to bethink the events of the last hours.*


*The tight storage room is shaken by extreme turmoil, while the Gunships flies higher and higher till it reaches the orbit of Illium. Kysaek is standing at the exit door, Thais on the other end of the small storage room, while on the ground in between the Eclipse Sister is lying, which was dragged on board. Directly beside her the Doctor is kneeing.TheDrell opens the front of the chest armor to put it aside slowly and looks then on the in violet blood smeared fabric, rips it open and presses for a moment at the belly, whereupon from two spots some blood extravasates. Thereupon Relis searches in the side pocket of her white coat, draws two Medi-gel capsules out of it and inserts it on the two spots one after another, before pressing the belly once again: the hemorrhage has stopped apparently.She raises her arm and moves it over the body of the wounded, which is obviously recognizable as an Asari despite her helmet, activating her Omni-Tool thereby*. "She is seriously injured…too seriously." *the Drell sighs and looks to Thais.* "What do you want to say me with this, dear Doctor?" *Thais asks, but the Drell shakes her head.* "The best, what I could do for her still is to narcotize her, before she dies in few minutes and that will be very painful without anesthesia." *Kysaek keeps silent, while Thais' eyes constrict for a moment, her top lip lifts a bit and her teeth are pressed on each other.* "I trust you…do It." *is leaving between her teeth and Relis nods. She takes her hand back to her white coat, this time the other side and draws a small capsule out, similar to the Medi-gel, but completely white.* "I need to remove the helmet. If I inject it via the jugular vein it will work fastest…." *she says casually, while grabbing the helmet with both hands and pulling it from her head carefully. Elaine stays calm still, saying nothing, even when her eyes widen lightly and a feeling of displeasure flows through her body, after seeing the face of the wounded: The Asari she spent the night with. A moment long she looks at the Asari, while the Doctor puts the thin capsule at her throat, before injecting the anesthetic.Elaine is tapping on her elbow with her finger during this; thinking, still with crossed arms.* "I don't even know what her name is…." *is her thought and she wants to say something, but closes her mouth again, shaking her head.* "It is better, when I don't know her name…her face in my memories will be difficult enough for me probably." *she sighs mentally and closes her eyes. Doctor Relis holds her arm over the body in the meanwhile, checking her body with her Omni-Tool once again. Permanently she looks at the Display, which shows the signs of living, which get slower and slower every second, but there for not so much. The signal gets weaker the whole time until it disappears completely at the end and the Drell puts her arm back, whereupon it gets completely silent for few minutes. Not before the voice of Kuren is heard via radio, the silence is broken.* "Captain, we are flying away from Illium for almost half an hour already, but you have still not said us a direction…what are we doing now?"*Thais speaks slowly and calm.* "Fly to the Mass Relay, course Omega Nebula." *Thereupon Kuren replies.* "Understood Captain, but it will last longer than usually…after all this is a Gunship. With a Shuttle it would have been faster, but with this Gunship we pass barely FTL." *To these words Thais says only.* "I knew this…let us know only when you are close to the Transit." *followed by another "Understood, Captain." *After the conversation between these two has ended, Kysaek lifts her head and asks.* "Captain…aren't we running into the danger to be stopped at the Portal? Cause of the Laws regarding the decreased and controlled usage of the Mass Relays, there are patrols everywhere…or not?" *The Captain snorts a bit snarky answering.*"That is pure utopia. Of course this is applied on the Main Worlds, for important locations…to which Illium is counted, but many Relays in the whole galaxy are used still without any controls…and even by the controlled ones still ships pass, above all now, when the galaxy wide alliance of all species is not existent anymore…..well I think many have different things in mind right now instead of controlling the Relays." *Elaine nods mutely thereupon, but adds quizzically.* "And what exactly we want in the Omega Nebula?"Thais sits down on one of the few seats of the storage room of this Gunship then and leans back.*


"In the Asteroid Belt of Sahrabarik is a small station – call it stopover – where refugee ships stop from or to Omega. We will take one of the ships, whose goal is the Citadel."*Elaine raises her eyebrows a bit.* "The Citadel? The Center of the Galaxy? Is this clever to go to there? Who knows what they say about us in the News right now…above all, why don't we go to the next Eclipse Base? They will not put up with this…or not?" *The mien of Thais darkens and looks really serious, when Kysaek says this.* "They will…because they sold us." Now Doctor Azkar looks to the Captain as well, asking.*"What do you mean, Captain?" *The Asari raiser her hand, waves with it scornfully and says.*"With this I want to say, that the Top Eclipse Level of Command on Illium has sold us…also the meeting, which I had earlier, served to entice me away from the Base and neutralize then. But more I don't know either, but I think this is connected to the fact, that we allowed you to join us." *Sapto looks to Kysaek thereby, who raises her hands.* "But that isn't my fault!" *she says a little bit nervous, while the Captain nods.* "Of course not. I knew what it could mean, when I let you join us. But it seems that I have underestimated it, but above all I wouldn't have expected…that Eclipse would betray us so simply."*Relis gets on her feet slowly and sits down on the free seat opposite of Thais.* "Eclipse has betrayed us…and what will we do now, Captain?" the Drell says quietly, whereupon Sapto replies: "First we go to this station…until then everyone should take stock of herself…we will discuss the details there."After this sentence the Asari crosses her arms and closes her eyes, before the doctor follows her lead and Kysaek allows herself to sit on the ground, presses her legs closer to her body, supports her head with her knees and her arms are entwining her legs, while she stares forward.*


*More than around eight hours pass, while it keeps silent in the storage room. Only the noise of breathing is heard, while the three passengers are sleeping. The silence gets interrupted when the voice of Kuren is heard.* "Captain, we hit the Relay in five minutes." *The Captain doesn't answer and continues to snooze, what leads to another announcement of Kuren, after a subtle lightly coughing.* "Captain, we hit the Relay in four minutes." *This time a mumbled.* "Understood" *leaves the mouth of the Captain, who opens her eyes slowly, stretches herself subtle, but there for moans much.* "Girls, wake up. We are passing the Relay soon." *Kysaek lies with her back on the hard ground by this time, before she sits up, moaning as well.* "Argh damn it! …aching muscles…that comes probably from the Training and the following tough fights." *Thais murmurs shortly.* "Don't make such a fuss. After all you are still living." *Elaine grumbles only, while the doctor struggles out of her coat, which she had put on herself like a blanket, before she stretches a bit as well.* "Are we there?" Thais nods.* "Almost. We transit through the Portal every moment…with this Gunship it could last still two further hours, before we reach the Station." *Kysaek yawns.* "Uhhhnnn then why should we wake up now?" *The Captain stands up during these words, stretching her body again.* "A short review of our situation. I explain what we will do on the station and why the Citadel is our goal from every possibility. I wonder that you have not pressed me there…but that was probably because of the exhaustion." *Kysaek nods.* "Yes, that it needs to be…well I am curious." *Sapto nods shortly, while Kuren says via radio.* "Caution, we are transiting through the Relay. No patrols in reach." *Kuren directs the Gunship to the Relay, while Dios types numbers in the console of the second pilot seat over and over again, saying.* "Guessed Drift after the transit…around 3000 K.*Kuren laughs: "So much?" *Dios replies: "With your flying skills I need to correct over and over again."Kuren: "And I need to take new courses over and over again, because your numbers are so sloppy."Dios: "And I am not accustomed to navigate a Gunship, which was built generally for atmosphere operations, through a Relay."Kuren: "And I am not accustomed to fly a Gunship,…at least not a Gunship built for what you mentioned earlier, through space." Dios: "So let us record, that no one of us is guilty?"Kuren: "I record that I agree to this."Dios: "And I record that we need to be able to handle such a Gunship, otherwise we can't claim to be the best pilots of the galaxy anymore."*Kuren nods after this only, flying directly at the circulating Relay ring, while the energy of this gigantic construction begins to react: it sends a stream at the Gunship, while this is passing the Relay and with a loud 'Wush', paired with a blue light the Gunship is gone. Dios says.* "Getting into normal space in ten seconds." *The Gunship floats through the space, engulfed by a stream similar to a river – like it is know during a transit through a Mass Relay – until Kuren says.* "Braking sequence started." *In this moment the Gunship leaves the eternal looking stream and enters the dark space again.* "All Systems online and working; Drift barely 2500 K." *Kuren laughs: "At the end only 2500? I am simply the best." *After this sentence Dios bends forward a bit over her console and cuffs Kuren's head, who still continues to grin.In the meanwhile the Captain types on a small Display on the wall, back in the storage room.* "Dios, Kuren: I send you the data of our goal now." *Simultaneously an.* "Understood, Captain." *is heard and the Asari turns back again, looking to Relis and Kysaek, who looks at her quite curious.*


"Well, then it is time to say, what happens now…what I have decided, while I had time to think." *The Asari looks once again at the two alternately.* "The station, to which we have taken course, is like mentioned already something like a stopover for refugee transporters from and to Omega…it is also liked to be used by slavers to catch their prey there, but this shouldn't happen to us. Anyhow we will invest some money there for new IDs and Phony Identities, but it will be quite expensive and I don't assume that you drag around your whole fortune?" *Relis shakes her head, as well like Kysaek, while Dios and Kuren say simultaneously and clumsy.* "We have only our Baby here, nothing else." *For a moment the Captain keeps the silence, before she continues to speak.* "Well, it is good you mentioned our means to pay,…" *Kuren grumbles hesitantly: "That was not serious!" *Dios: "Captain, you can't do that…do you know how expensive this thing was?" *The Captain smirks a bit, what the Twins obviously can't see, before she answers.* "Such a Standard Gunship for operations you mentioned earlier, costs something between 150.000 till 200.000 Credits…but this one is modified. With bit luck and negotiations we can sell it for 300.000 Credits, from which we will need to every Credit to buy useful IDs and Identities." *The Twins grab their forehead simultaneously.* "That is almost as bad as back then, when Jor crashed our Special Shuttle against a wall with the reason: It flied directly at me." *is heard from both lips again in the same moment, while the Captain continues to speak.* "After we boarded the ship and are on our way to the Citadel, nothing is on my schedule anymore before reaching the Citadel…and basically Kysaek you are right. Looked from one certain perspective it is maybe not the best place to be for one wanted person…or probably now for us, wanted persons. But on the other hand it is the center of the galaxy…and PGI can't act there so freely like on Illium. Besides I know someone on the Citadel, who owes me something and can let us through the refugee controls."*Elaine asks.* "And why don't we fly there directly?" *Thais shakes her head thereupon.* "You want to fly to the Citadel with a Gunship…for real?...and my contact needs IDs and Identities as well, which he can present to let us through." *Elaine nods.* "Sorry…this sounds…reasonable." *The Captain nods to this for a moment, but then she says.* "That said…that is the plan and how it should continue, well…Eclipse has sold us and I personally am no Sister and no Captain anymore, but this doesn't mean that I forget the Sisters, who have fallen. But now we are that, what could be called 'civilians'. Duty bound to nobody and although it is so, I say here and now, I will follow you, Elaine Kysaek."*Doctor Relis looks immediately to Kysaek, while the Twins say in unison.* "WHAT?!" *Elaine is more than only surprised.* "Follow me? Where to?" *Sapto moves her left arm a bit.* "Wherever it goes to. You will not be licked after another setback or should PGI get away with this?"


*Elaine waves with her hands.* "Of course not, but what exactly I should do? Few hours ago we had still a whole Base, stuffed-full with Sisters and weapons…what have we now?" *Relis intervenes now.* "Captain, are you sure, that you want to do that? I value Kysaek for her personality, but she is no leader,…or at least she is missing the knowledge of one." *Thais looks to Relis, before she replies.* "Maybe, but how someone becomes a leader? You need to learn it and how do you learn it, when you not lead? Besides I am still here with advice and action. Not to mention…she has survived already two hopeless battles…I believe she has more potential one of us can imagine yet…one could say even more than that…"*Elaine moves her hands in front of her eyes.* "Please don't say now: I believe that was destiny." *Thais waits a moment, before she continues her sentence: "No, that I didn't want to say for sure, but I believe that the Goddess has one or two fingers in the pie. Such a thing you don't survive only with luck, but instead with skills and goodwill of the Eternity." *Kysaek rubs her palms against her face.* "That is exactly the same…" *But Sapto smirks to this gently.* "No, I don't believe in such things like destiny, but providence of the Goddess…and in you…because like all of us could see during this unfortunate event, even 800 years of experience can be useless…and that's why I repeat myself: Wherever you go, Elaine Kysaek, I will follow you." *Instantly the Drell adds.* "This is the same for me of course. I am still the doctor of everyone here. I will not neglect my duty." *As the last the Twins say via ship's radio:Kuren: "This applies for us as well."Dios: "Yes, you will still need the best pilots of the galaxy."Kuren: "Besides the Captain will owe us soon a ship and we need to ensure that she pays this debt."Dios: "You say it, Sister." *One can see in Elaine's eyes, that this situation is running her over and she doesn't know for sure anymore, what she should say until an.* "I'll do it." *leaves her lips, which is followed by nodding from Thais and the Drell and applause of the Twins. Kuren.* "Now that this is resolved, continue to enjoy our ship's service." Dios: "Arrival at the Train Station to the Citadel in around two hours." *Probably hit emotionally by this decision Kysaek sinks down to the ground again,before she leans against the left side on the wall, looking thoughtful, while the Doctor and Thais sit down again.* "I'll do it…? Oh, Elaine, if this will be okay…" *crosses her mind.* "But maybe Thais is right…I mean, twice I have survived such a ****…and right before the attack I had such pretentious thoughts. Well they were getting much ahead of…and were unrealistic, but I need to think in realistic scale…but, before I do this, I should be on the ship on the my way to the Citadel already…yes so I'll do it. The next two hours I use to relax a bit…and then…" *she sighs mentally and passes over simply, before she can think this to the end.The time passes and the Gunship continues to fly through the Darkness of space and although the mentioned Asteroid Belt is already visible for some time, it is only now that the Gunship comes closer to the coordinates.* "In ten minutes we have reached the coordinates…eh, how should we address our new boss by the way?" *Kuren says in a questioning tone, before Dios adds.* "A good question. Let us ask simply." Kuren: "Good….Kysaek, how should we address you from now on? Boss? Captain? Commander? Miss President? Your Majesty? Miss Galaxy? Our range is big."*Elaine doesn't hear the question even a bit, because she is still sleeping, but then someone grabs her shoulder gently and shakes it, until she opens her eyes and looks at Thais.* "Kysaek, we will reach our goal in around ten minutes and you got a question." *The Asari takes her hand away again from Kysaek's shoulder and goes to the other side of the small storage room.* "And whathhhhhh…" *she yawns shortly.* "is the question?" *Kuren repeats her question then, but this time a little bit different.* "How should we address you now, after you are our boss?" *Kysaek gets up slowly, but clumsy, because her muscles hurt extremely.* "Argh, damn training…was a brilliant idea…" *she says mentally in a sarcasm manner, before she answers.* "How should you address me? Isn't it obvious? I am Elaine Kysaek…I wouldn't know any other name for me." *Kuren smirks via radio.* "Only Kysaek? Believe me, if you don't make up a rank, we two will do this…" Dios: "…and that you will not like for sure." *Kysaek murmurs a little bit annoyed now.* "I am Kysaek, end and over…and regarding the making up: this game can be played also by two…or in this case by three…how do you like for example the Miss Wet-Herself for Kuren and…the Clumsy for Dios?" *Dios & Kuren: "We give up, Kysaek!" *Relis nods.* "Kysaek is fine." *As well like Thais. "Kysaek…how it should continue now?" *Elaine presses her hands against her hips, before she lowers her head for a moment.* "Well for now, I think we should follow the plan to sell the Gunship and get some IDs, before flying to the Citadel…the rest I wanted to think over during the flight there."*Thereupon Thais nods again, as well like the Doctor.* "But…" *By Elaine's words all eyes stay looking at her, as well like Elaine's eyes keep looking at the dead Asari.* "I believe with a corpse in the storage room, even there will be too many questions…we need to get rid of it." *Relis crosses her arms thereupon and her face looks really sullen.* "And what should we do? Dispose the woman simply in the space, like a piece of trash?!" *Kysaek lifts her head a bit and nods very slowly.* "I am sorry, I wished there would be a better alternative…but she is not alone. Think about all the Sisters who died during the attack…I don't think they have it better right now." *Doctor Azkar looks to Sapto, who doesn't seem to be really happy about this either and says.* "That is really not the manner to do this….she has earned something better…", before she silences then."But it is necessary and after all…she will be in the Eternity, by the Goddess." *Relis turns away thereupon, starts to look at the bald wall in front of her, while Kysaek takes the legs and Sapto the arms of the dead Asari, only to drag her to the ramp behind Elaine, who says only.* "Open the interior gate now." *She takes a hand from the legs to push a button, before the wall behind her pulls itself upwards. She grabs the leg again with her second hand and carries the dead person with Thais further to the rear, where both put the Asari down, before they leave this stage of the storage room. Kysaek pushes the button again and the interior gate closes again. Then she says.* "Dios, Kuren…please open the rear ramp." *First Kuren answers.* "Understood." *and then Dios adds.* "Pressure compensation takes place, rear ramp begins to open." *The loading flap of the Gunship opens and the zero gravity does the rest: the body of the dead begins to float away from the ground slowly and moves to the Void of the space, while the Gunship continues to fly forward away from the corpse, more and more. The loading flap closes again and the body has disappeared in the Darkness of space."*Kysaek,two minutes till we reach the coordinates, but Ca-…eh…I mean Thais, can you say: Will this not be noticed by the wrong people, if we land there? The flying control will register the Landing and the ID of the Gunship, or not?" *Kuren asks, and gets this as an answer from Thais.* "Normally you were right….but something like a real control doesn't exist here. Search simply for free landing space and land the Gunship." *Dios nods, before answering.* "Understood." *The Gunship dives inside the Asteroid Belt and after a minute the mentioned station is seen, which is built on a bigger asteroid – from size comparable with a small village – in which center is a bigger dome and on its corners colorless metal complexes, which are half so big like the dome.*


*Kuren encircles the facility twice, while Dios matches the data collected by her Terminal by scanning after Docking areas. Then she says.* "I have found a spot…move to the 23."Kuren replies.* "Understood, move to Docking area 23." *TheGunship moves right, flies close along one of the complexes. Then it decreases its speed, turns right again and floats slowly on the landing space. It lands slowly supported by the Jets, before it gets secured by magnets finally and a small Mass Effect Field activates to stabilize the Gunship. Kuren moves a lever back in the cockpit, whereupon the rear loading flap opens together with the interior gate.The three passengers look down: it goes down for around two meters, before from the side a ramp drives forward, which stops at the loading flap.* "Well then let us go." *Kysaek says and takes the first step outside followed by the other two.Kysaek looks around and doesn't find something extraordinary: an isolated Docking area, where is only space for one small spacecraft and at the end of their jetty is a door. The loading flap closes again, while the cockpit opens and the Twins climb out of there, shoving themselves over the edge downwards. Kuren says.* "I think we should stay. On such a place I could think that…" *Dios continues from here on.* "…someone would steal us the Gunship directly below our asses." *Kysaek nods.* "Yes, that is a good idea…" she says, before turning around then.* "The Twins stay by the Gunship. Thais you are familiar with this place and it was your idea, so care for the IDs. I stay with the Doctor and we will look around a bit." *The former Captain nods.* "Okay…will be interesting…maybe the Doctor or you will find something of your liking…that station here is not only for transporters." *the Asari adds for consideration, before she goes off slowly only to disappear via the door.* "Well, Dear Doctor, that sounds good…then let us go." *Elaine says to Relis, who agrees mutely and follows Kysaek beside her. Both leave the room, before they walk through a corridor for a while, which seems to be connected with several Docking areas, only to reach the next door. After they open it, a big semi-spherical Hall is extending in front of them – seemingly the dome, which the Twins could see from their cockpits earlier.Quite a crowd is gathering in front of their eyes, while they lean against a railing and look at the level below them, on which perceived 10.000 people are found. It is a varied crowd of species, also with various shops, where all sorts of goods are sold, although it is not visible from such a distance, what exactly. "WOW." *leaves Kysaek's lips, while the Doctor comments it.* "Yes, that expresses it well. Illium is not a small place, but I have seen rarely such places like this one." *Elaine smirks.* "Then you were on the wrong places. The Eternity fits here at least 100 times, but still you have the feeling that this is a small city…with the right view." *Elaine goes on and waves with her right arm.* "Keep moving, Doc, let us look at this more properly." *The Drell nods and goes on as well, when both walk the stairs down, before they enter the fray. The first shops are ignored, while the Drell and the Asari move through the crowd, where everyone from the Elcor till the Vorcha is represented, in every size and color. Finally they reach a shop, which has a typical hospital cross on its board, which is on the roof. Doctor Azkar squeezes through the crowd till she is completely in the front and looks, with an amazed mien, at the choice, which is offered. Thereby she looks at the man behind the selling table, a Salika, for a moment: he belongs to the sturdy kind, above all looking at the distinct plates on his face. Kysaek is standing a little bit further away in the meantime, observes the Doctor for a while, like she begins probably to negotiate with the Salika, but then begins to look around again.*
((Here you have an imagination how such a male Salika looks like. ))



*First her eyes stay at a group of Batarians, which is found in front of a stand, where apparently survival equipment is sold. The group seems to argue vociferous with the owner, a female Quarian. Kysaek shakes only her head and continues looking around. This time she looks at a higher pedestal, on which a Krogan and a group of three humans in chains are found. In front of the pedestal is a small crowd, from which from time to time raising hands are seen to which the Krogan points then, although Kysaek can't hear his words, because it is quite loud cause of the conversations of the many people around her. The Asari shakes her head again and looks away, only to be startled after moving the head for a while: suddenly an Asari is standing in front of her, engulfed in a long robe and grayish cap, which is pulled over her head. It lasts a moment, before Elaine realizes that it is Thais.* "You have startled me." *Thais smirks a bit, while the strap of a bigger bag is hanging over her shoulder.* "That means that the disguise works." *Elaine agrees immediately.* "Yeah, especially without the flames on your head, you are more difficult to be recognized….but from where do you have this? Didn't you want to care for all the other things?" *The Asari raises her hand.* "Everything is ready and in process." *Elaine seems to be taken aback.* "So fast?" *The other Asari nods.* "Everything is a question of planning….besides you need only to know the right people, and then this is no problem at all." Elaine presses to this point: "Really…?" Thais takes the bag from her shoulder and gives it to Kysaek. "That's right…among the humans there is a saying, that sounds something like this…Veni, Vidi, Vici."*Kysaek narrows her eyes a bit. "And what does this mean? Above all, from where do you know such a thing?" *The other Asari puts her hand on Kysaek's shoulder.* "It is an old language of the humans; it is called Latin….and translated it means: I came, I saw, I won. And regarding your second question…during such a long life, you'll deal with simply everything some day, but in few hundred years you will notice it yourself." *Thais smirks and takes her hand away from Kysaek's shoulder only to pass her.*  "I go back to the Gunship…and don't lose the bag. We need the things inside." *Kysaek looks down at the bag for a moment, before looking back at Thais.* "Okay. I collect the Doctor and then we will follow." *Sapto disappears in the crowd fast and Elaine turns around again, to observe the Doctor, who gets a portable box from the Salika, before she turns away from him. She looks around for a moment and finds Kysaek then.* "Well, it had cost me the last of my Credits …but at least now I have something like medical basic equipment." *The Asari puts the strap over her shoulder, while answering.* "That sound good, Doc, but we should hit the road again. Thais has taken care of everything." *Relis smirks.* "The Captain…always clean and fast." *Kysaek laughs. "You are not surprised?" *Both begin to move finally, while Relis carries the box on a handle and shakes her head.* "The Captain…I know her for five years…when she has set her mind on something, then it will be successful always and that with top efficiency."*Thereupon Elaine nods mutely, while the women go their way back. They need almost 20 minutes before they reach their hangar again and open the door, through which a Volus comes towards them accompanied by two Krogans. They let the group pass them, before going to the other three, who are in front of the Gunship.* "Were these the buyers?" *Elaine asks right out, and gets a dull nodding from the Twins and these words from Thais as an answer: "275.000…this is the sum we got. Minus the costs for the IDs, there are still remaining…15.000 Credits. And the clothes you carry in the bag I paid with my own money…and now everyone begins to look around in there, because with new IDs it isn't done already." *Kuren murmurs grumpily.* "Hopefully we get pretty clothes…after all I have given up for this my beautiful Baby." *Dios grumbles.*"You mean our beautiful baby?" *Kuren: "No mine, you are only an accessory…why haven't we sold Dios with it? Everyone needs a gear-head and maybe it had given us additional…5 or 10 Credits." *Dios: "Mine will be the revenge…I show you 5 Credits! This is right the amount of money you have paid for your flying teacher and you fly accordingly." *Elaine grabs her head, doesn't listen to the quarrel of the Twins anymore and asks.* "Did you have this with the two every day as a Captain?" *The second Asari nods only, while Elaine begins to cough lightly but there for a bit louder.* "Enough now…you can annoy yourself later, but now it is time to change clothes." *Both Salarians point at the other one, saying simultaneously.* "But she has…" *Both palms pointing at them Kysaek murmurs.* "Changing Clothes…now." *Kuren complains: "We need to shape the new boss, Dios…"Dios: "Yes, Kuren, her sense of humor seems to be at a very low stage." *Finally both Salarians go to the bag and search for something, while Thais and Elaine leave the group for a while.* "Tell me…with everything what happened …what is with your sister? Do you believe they capture her to get to you through her?" *Elaine asks with a worried voice, while Thais repeats the shoulder gesture from earlier.* "Don't worry…. immediately after I left this false meeting, I said to her, that she should take the next taxi instantly without packing, buy a ticket and fly immediately to our parents on Thessia. There she will be safe." *Kysaek puts her hands to her sides.* "Safe?" *The other Asari nods. "Very safe. Our parents are matriarchs and how it is typical for these, working in high positions…there no one will dare to put a finger on Dilèn so fast." *With a sigh Kysaek taps on the back of the hand on her shoulder and shoves it down.* "You are her sister, you will know it better…it is time that I search for some clothes as well."


*The violet eyes of the Asari open gradually again, while she still leans against the wall. She allows her head to move in circles for a while, feeling the light pain in her neck.* "In few hours we are on the Citadel…I said I will think about a plain during the flight…it is about time." *she reminds herself mentally, before pushing herself away from the wall only to go in a slow pace out of the corner, along the corridor, which is crowded by passengers.* "But how should it continue…how should we be able to fight against such a gigantic company? Above all now, where everyone of us is wanted…we need to prove our innocence and kick PGI in its a-ss, but in a group of five we will not win…we need people, weapons, equipment, influence…but nothing of this is for free, no, no…money, we need desperately money. But how to earn this money …how…" *The Asari gets interrupted during her thinking, when she barges against a Mech, which is in front of her and it looks at her apparently.* "Do you want something?" *she asks the machine, which answers with its electronic voice.* "Confirmed; Passenger Ashira T'Veres, you have an inquiry at the public Communications Room." *Elaine pulls her head back.* "An inquiry…? From who…?" *The Mech replies.* "Unknown Source; not verifiable; possible disturbance caused by cosmic influence. Still the inquiry is addressed to you." *The Asari nods to this simply.* "Thanks. I'll check it." *Beeping the Mech takes note of the answer and simply goes on.* "A communications inquiry…****, have they picked up our scent already and want to say me now, that we should give up or it will be ugly?" *she gulps, while she thinks about it.* "It is no use…I'll check it and if it is the case, then I want to know it at least…" *she nods to herself and continues to go along the corridor. She passes two corners until she stops in front of a door, which she opens by pushing the green virtual button. It opens to every side and the Asari enters the room after it, which is lightened only lightly. The door closes behind her again and the symbol becomes red, what Kysaek notices after looking over her shoulder one moment after.* "If I had anticipated it…" *Few steps in front of her is a typical Communications Terminal, no quantum entanglement based communications array, only a simple device for holographic transmissions.You know…like it was used on the First Normandy in ME1.On the display of the terminal from time to time yellow dots light up, while the Asari comes closer slowly.* "Please enter ID." *she reads on it and types her bought one in. The screen gets black for a moment and a white dot blinks in the top corner, before the terminal begins to peep electronically. "Identity confirmed: Ashira T'Veres. Transmit the confirmation to the second terminal." *a moment nothing happens until it beeps again, "Confirmation accepted; secured connection gets established, one moment of patience please." *On the walls two red lamps light up now and it takes some time till the first lamp lights green and shortly after it the other as well,
followed by an electronic voice.* "Communication gets established; please don't move much."


((Because this Music is right for this situation! ))
*Elaine doesn't move and looks at her terminal for a moment, when the one meter afar standing device activates itself and begins to project a holographic picture beginning with the feet. Instantly very elegant shoes are seen, black, as well like the black trousers and even now Kysaek begins to realize, but at the latest by the Logo, that had to be quite expensive.The legs are quite thin, but the trousers are a little bit wide; the upper body builds up: a white shirt and a black precious jacket, which is opened quite slack; the right hand hidden in the trousers pocket, while around the neck is a tie, hanging in the sametime over the shirt, whereby the shape proves that it needs to be a
woman, but this is also seen by Kysaek after the face is shown. It is tanned a bit, but nothing special; the white skin is seen clearly still, although it is no pale figure. If someone would guess her origins by her face, then the woman could be classified as a mix of European and Asian and the age would be guessed to around 40. The black hair rounds the whole face out.*
((With this Photo you get an idea of how the hair style of the character introduced in the next lines looks like and a little bit her Face.)

*The calm but still serious voice is heard.* "I greet you, Elaine Kysaek." *Instantly Kysaek crosses her arms, but doesn't answer, but there for the other woman.* "Surprised that your new ID seems to be useless? Judging by your silence yes, but you may rest assured that: nobody else knows this right now, except of me.*" The Asari gnashes her teeth for a moment, before she begins to speak.* "Nice…yes really nice; you seem to know who I am and with whom I have the pleasure?" *The other woman waves with her left hand around a bit. "I am Mai." Kysaek loosens her arms a bit.* "Mai?" *A nodding follows.* "Yes, Mai; M, A, I…Mai." *Instantly Elaine presses on.* "Mai and…?" *The woman shakes her head.* "That is unimportant, but important is, that I know everything about your situation." *Immediately Elaine let's her arms go and supports herself with her hands on the terminal.* "Really?" *she asks the stranger and gets this answer.* "I know what you have seen by PGI; I know that you are chased that's why; I know that you are wanted cause of lies as well like I know that you were hiding by the Eclipse Sisterhood and now I know, that you and the remaining survivors are on the way to the Citadel."*The eyes of the strange woman look cool a bit, while Kysaek replies clumsy: "And from where do you know everything of this?" *A shallow smirk is seen around the lips of the woman.* "Knowledge is power and my sources are reliable, but consequently expensive as well." *A little bit snappy the Asari replies.* "Then you have probably much money." *Very lightly the other woman coughs, before she says.* "Money is not my problem, with what we returned to the topic. I didn't want to come at you with my request immediately, but I think you are relaxed enough now and the longer the connection is established, the more probably it gets, that someone notices it." *The hands of Elaine move to her sides, pressing against them.* "Well then, spit it out." *On these words Mai nods.* "Very well Miss Kysaek, then listen well…For PGI you are a danger, an extremely danger which needs to be neutralized, because you have seen what they have in their laboratories, but not only cause of the Reaper-Tech in there,…oh no, it is only a brick to a huge pyramid, which constitutes a threat to the balance of the galaxy and if you would tell the right people, what you have seen, in the result questions could be asked, which will endanger everything what was built on this pyramid."*A short gasping is heard from the Asari. "And that means what exactly?" *The right hand of the other woman leaves the pocket to be raised slowly. "At that moment I can't tell you more details; you need to start to plumb and see the truth yourself otherwise it will be quite hard for you to believe me, if I would say it simply." *Elaine takes her left hand from her hip and rubs her face with it for a moment.* "That is still quite vague…what does it mean? And in general, why are you interested in such a kind of balance?" *The answer turns out dull.* "I can't say you more details, but I can give you the hint, that PGI is not alone and even on the Citadel are their allies, but thanks to your new ID you should be safe for a while now. Regarding your second question: I am a businesswoman. An Imbalance in these times would be disastrous for business and I am not interested that this happens." Elaine points at Mai. "But when you are rich, what do you want from me? Apparently you are in the know as well, so why are you not going yourself to the right people and say what you know? Build up an army or something like that, and sweep across PGI. So what do you want exactly from me?" *A serious nod comes from the woman, who speaks slowly.* "A justified question, but I believe it would be the easiest, if you call it intuition and probability. I know your past, the tragedy which has torn your family, your more than lousy training at the Forces and what followed after. Still you were able to get away from this company twice, although they spared no expanses or efforts to kill you. My conclusion from this is, that you have something, which is still not visible, but with enough will…" *the woman makes a break, before she continues speaking.* "For my part the situation doesn't allow me to reveal myself or like you call it 'build up an army'…my business means simply to arrange everything from the shadows. Believe me Miss Kysaek that also others got hints, but most of them did nothing and the ones who did something, died or disappeared." *A little bit disparaging the Asari snorts, before waving with her hand for a break.* "I don't understand a word…" *The other woman adds these words.* "You see that I have not even told rudimentarily what everything is about and you don't understand…but give you some time and when you have taken the first steps in direction of the truth, I will get in touch with you again and till then: good luck." *Before Kysaek can say something, the projection of the woman disappears and her own Terminal deactivates itself and the door gets unlocked. If nothing has happened, the Asari turns around and leaves the room, but still having these thoughts: "What was that now?" *and this decision.* "No, no…I will not think about this now…exactly that I will do: I keep my mouth shut and say nothing to the others,…we have enough problems ahead of us, and there we don't need to solve the riddle of this mysterious woman also."*Resolved Elaine finds a way back to her group, but doesn't need too long for this.*
((Now the music can be switched off. )


*Reaching the corner again, she notices that apparently no one has moved away and everyone still keeps the silence, although the Doctor has a cigarette in her mouth and Kysaek asks.* "Have you one for me as well?" *The Drell looks to the Asari and nods, grabs in her pocket and pulls out a box. Out of it she pulls out a cigarette, which is given to Kysaek, directly followed by a lighter. Elaine puts the butt between her lips, ignites it and takes a deep drag right after it, before she b-lows the smoke out through her nose and gives the lighter back to the Doctor. She goes to Thais, who is still looking through the window.* "Everything all-right?" *Elaine asks and Sapto nods.* "Yeah…we will pass soon the most interesting spot." *Elaine takes another drag, before blowing the smoke relaxed out of her mouth speaking.* "And what spot is this?" *On this question Thais raises her right arm and points with her hand a little bit left.* "This spot." *Following the pointing finger slowly a big red planet reveals itself in front of Kysaek's eyes. Kysaek comments this view: "I have seen this planet somewhere…" Quietly laughing Sapto replies: "I bet in a movie, in reports of IGN or a different channel…that is the Mars, the so called Reaper Graveyard." *The Asari pauses, takes the **** from her mouth, while the smokes leaves her lips slowly without really blowing it out and she stares at the red planet.* "It is…really big and red…" *are the only words Elaine can think of.* "Yeah it is…" *Thais murmurs and moves her eyes somewhere else, before she squints them and murmurs throatily catching in this way the attention of Elaine again.* "Something on your mind?" *Elaine asks and gets a nod as answer, while Sapto points with her finger at something again: apparently the Void of space.* "I see nothing…" *Elaine says, whereupon the other Asari replies.* "Then look more precisely…" *Kysaek does exactly this and squints her eyes as well, but sees nothing at the start, while the ship continues flying and encircles the red planet more and more in this way until a bit more sunlight falls on the black surface of a gigantic construction. Kysaek thinks first this is a huge Hanar, until she speaks these words disbelievingly.* "Is that a…Reaper?" *The answer from Sapto comes instantly.* "Correct, a real, not from movies originated, dead Reaper." *Kysaek stares at this construct for an extremely long time and her eyes say that this view frightens her more than it inspires awe. After further observation she notices that the Reaper gets pulled by three ships, which fly in front of it and directly behind it is another ship, obviously armed and it can be classified as a frigate probably.* "Ships which come too close to such transports unauthorized or the red planet,are in danger being attacked by the Alliance without a warning as well like other Forces of the galaxy." *Thais adds, before she leaves the window.* "It would be better, if you relax a bit; We will reach the Citadel in few hours…you will need your concentration." *Elaine turns away as well, taping her cigarette at the ashtray on the table, before she says.* "You have given me your commanding position and still you order us around?" *Thereupon Sapto shakes her head with the explanation.* "No, only an advice. I follow you, but that doesn't mean that I will not share my experience with you." *Silently Kysaek nods, while Thais sits down to the Twins, who both sleep, and closes her own eyes. Elaine stubs out her cigarette completely on the ashtray in the meanwhile, before she leans against the wall and sinks down slowly, breathing in deeply once.* "Real Reapers…by the Goddess…" *she thinks, but shakes her head simultaneously.* "Stop saying Goddess, or you will sound soon like Thais…the Goddess doesn't help you. Focus, forget the Reapers, forget this woman and focus only. We are soon on the Citadel, the center of the galaxy, so take up where you were earlier, before the stupid Mech barged against you.", she says mentally to herself and develops her thoughts further: "Where was I…I believe I was by weapons…no hold: companions…argh no, no it was…it was…ah exactly! We need for such a big enemy companions; we need weapons, equipment and influence, but all this you get only when you have the most important thing of all: money…so think, Elaine, think…how do you make most of the money?" *For a while she keeps silent and allows her ideas to work the magic.* "How others make money? Well, most of them have a good idea for business and potential investors…a business simply, but what is the question? The market is flooded with different businesses, so can someone earn much money there? I am not quite something what can be called a calculator…but for something like this people can be hired.", she nods to herself before she continues thinking.* "But there is also the other side…the side, which dislikes such kinds of business; the side, that doesn't give a damn about laws, which moves weapons, sells drugs…slavery and much more, but do I want to do this for real? Above all, would the others want to do that?", the Asari shakes her head, casting away the idea.* "No, I don't think so…but maybe this thought is not so stupid at all…I mean how the legal businesses get big? Besides of exceptional talents everyone is in the final analysis some sort of criminal and runs not complete legal things to get money….I mean, I have the best example: PGI! I don't want to know how much money they get from Reaper-Tech….what doesn't mean, I will do exactly the same, but what about a combination? Building up a business with not completely legal methods?" *she asks herself in her thoughts, before hammering the right fist in the left palm.* "Exactly so it is done! The details I will know, when we reach the Citadel, so that I know what possibilities there are offered…damn Elaine, maybe Thais was right after all; it could….nargh don't start with the Goddess again! You succeed, because you are able to do more than everyone thought and not cause of the Goddess who shows you the way!"*Her body tenses up for a moment, before she gets calm again, closing her eyes slowly.* "The Citadel…my first time…" *The Asari passes over again, before she can complete her thought, while the transport ship continues to fly through space, whereby the Earth is seen in a certain distance already.*


*The head moves around slowly, while the time passes more and more, whereby Kysaek begins to moan not pleased, before she opens her eyes, blinking few times. No one is there anymore; her corner is completely empty, while she gets up slowly with the help of the wall, stretching a bit.* "Mhh is there something for free?" *she murmurs in front of herself, before she goes few steps around the corner, but can't see anybody there as well.* "What is going on here? Are we there already and everyone left the ship?" *she grumbles louder now, before she turns around to look through the window: she sees nothing except the Dark Space and the distant Stars.* "Doesn't look this way, but where is everyone?" *she asks mentally, moving with her hand over her hair cartilage. She turns around again, goes a few steps forward, but stops when she hears the noise of metal, which seems to bend or burst.* "And what comes now?" *the Asari growls, stamping around the corner, before she hears shooting noise, muffled but still unmistakable. Very carefully she takes more steps forward until a door opens to her right side. Kysaek waits, because it got completely silent suddenly, before she wants to take another step forward, but she stops again, when a figure runs out of thedoor: a female Quarian, which gets hit at the back by an explosion. She spins in the air few times, before she hits the ground with her face and her mask shatters.* "Sha'riin?" *leaves Kysaek's mouth, who is moving backwards rapidly, before stopping again, after all lights turn off and only through the window to her left light shines through. The shooting silences and a ghostlike silence begins.* "What the hell is going on here?!" *the Asari gulps and comes closer to the window.* "Maybe we got boarded…" *crosses her mind, before she dares to look through the window, looking from left to right, from up to down, but seeing nothing.* "Maybe we are on the other side…a-ssholes, I need desperately a weapon." *she speaks quietly and a bit nervous and wants to turn away from the window already, but keeps looking through it, when a short light in the Darkness of space lights up, like a signal. The eyes stare spellbound at this spot for quite a while until she notices something which seems to rotate and comes closer and closer, but something draws Kysaek's attention: the light turns on suddenly, whereupon she turns around and presses herself extremely frightened against the window glass murmuring.* "Whhhaat is going on heeeree?!" *and wandering from one spot to another.On the ground is blood everywhere as well like corpses in Eclipse armors, what stirs the blood of the Asari even more, as well like her breathing begins to be panicky.* "No, no, no…that is not true!" *she says to herself, turning away her body to look again through the window, but she shakes her head, when she sees something, which needs to be impossible.* "You can't be here…" *she says trembling strongly, while the violet eyes focus on the Sister, whose body was given to the Darkness of space and looks like a puppet, while the front part of the body is floating in a certain distance of the window. Elaine presses the right hand against the glass, as well like her face, while keeping silent and before she pushes herself away from the pane, when the seemingly dead person opens her eyes.* "That is not true, that is a dream…wake up, Elaine, get up!" *The Asari hits her forehead softly, over and over again, but stops immediately, when a searing and glowering noise is echoing through space. It has come from the dead person, which has opened her mouth now. Kysaek lifts her eyes upwards to see something big, what seems to have been over the dead person the whole time: a familiar gigantic machine, which raises its metal tentacles, before the harrowing murmur is heard again and it begins to grab the transport ship with its metal arms, to begin to break it slowly."P-iss off!" Kysaek yells, while putting both hands in front of her eyes, doesn't looking at the bottom part of the Reaper, which begins to shine red now, gathering energy like it seems. Not before the red light shines through the window, Elaine takes the hands from her eyes and sees only like a beam is moving at her and the ship. It hits the pane buzzing, melts through the glass in few seconds, as well like the metal and burns Kysaek to death with a loud yell.Moaning loud she opens wide her eyes, the body moves forward fast and she breathes fiercely, while looking around still scared until she realizes, that everything was a dream. She falls back again against the metal wall and grabs her cheek with her left hand.* "Everything is all-right, Elaine, all-right…only a dream…I bet this comes from the all the ****, which you have experienced in such a short time." *she persuades herself from this, but gets interrupted when she hears a quiet ringing.* "Arrival at the Citadel in ten minutes." *a male voice says, while Kysaek gets on her feet thereupon, before she goes to her sleeping group, puts her hand at one of them in a row to jolt them.* "Wake up, we have reached it soon." *she says to everyone, whereby Thais wakes up as the first, then the Twins, whose heads leaned against each other's and as the last the Drell, who yawns still another time.* "Are we there already?" *Elaine replies this with a nod, before she goes slowly to the window to look outside.*

((At first....Nostalgiiiiiiiiaaaaaa for the Background! It should remind you a bit of the old times, but it would be better to be switched off after hearing it once. ))
*The ship continues to fly closer to the Earth, which is engulfed by a weak blue fog since the final battle. The transporter spins around to the right side slowly, while it passes over and over again some Battleships and various other ones as well, so that Kysaek can look at them through the window until the ship's rotations is completed and Kysaek gets something in the range of her vision, which she has never seen before: A Station with an extreme scale in size, in the middle a huge ring, through which the light of the sun shines and on this ring, five huge plates stick out. In whole: The Citadel.* "Incredible…" *is the only thing leaving Kysaek's mouth, while Thais says.* "Hey, clap your mouth together again, although you are right. I remember my first time looking at the Citadel…it is simply overwhelming." *Kysaek can nod to this only, while behind her Relis and Twins gather.* "So when we can't build a new Gunship out there…" *Kuren says and Dios completes.* "…then we should hide as fast as possible." *The faces of all five look more than amazed, when they see two bigger ships below which the transporter flies passing.* "That one I know!" *Kysaek squeaks a little bit excited.* "That is the Destiny Ascension! …But the other ship I have never seen before!"

*The Asari points at a ship beside the Destiny Ascension and which isn't inferior in size of the Ascension, but there for in horizontal direction. For adepts it is recognizable pretty fast, that the ship is a combination out of human and turian Cruiser, the shape reminds more of the Cruiser of the Humanity, but there for at the front quite in the center the typical 'wings' of turian Cruisers are visible; it is armed with many cannons, as well like the rear of the ship, where the wings are further below attached, is armed with a remarkable weaponry.* "That is the 'David Anderson', called after the man, who led the resistance of the Earth and lost his life at the end to start the weapon, which beat the Reaper finally." *Sapto explains slowly and Dios points upwards.* "So THAT I call cannon! If we would have this one, we would need to fire only once and the HQ of PGI would be gone immediately." *the female Salarian sighs quietly still looking at the Main Cannon, which is seen at the top of the ship, adjusted rightly to the size of the Dreadnought. But slowly the distance from the transporter to it gets bigger and it leaves the visual range, while there for coming closer to the Citadel from moment to moment, flying right at the bottom part of the Ring.* "Well…let's go to the exit and don't forget your stuff." *Kysaek orders, whereby Doctor Azkar is the only one who needs to carry something: the medical box bought on the station. The group begins to move along the corridor, as well like the remaining passengers.*

*The door opens and immediately a crowd rushes out of the transporter, whereby the group around Kysaek is in the front, led by Thais.* "Follow me, I know where we need to go." *she waves with her arm so that the others follow her, while they look around the whole time, because this Docking area reminds more of a 'Harbor': a little bit dirty, littered with various storage boxes and containers, but also some Security Mechs – normal like the Hyper-version – with the Logo of C-Sec, which is represented here as well and few soldiers in black-red armors with the N7 Logo on their chest.* "Keep calm." *Thais says.* "They are here more as an ornament than for control…it should look safe…" *she adds.* "Yeah and it needs to be quite difficult to maintain an overview with so much people." *Kysaek responds, whereupon Thais nods, before she continues speaking.* "Okay we are soon at the door; at the next corner we stop the last time." *The Asari points forward to a corner, at which the group stops, except of Kysaek, who has stopped right in the crowd looking at another group, which stands beside a Container. She crosses her arms and looks at the sign, which is held high by a Batarian, while beside him is another Batarian, a female Turian, a human and a Vorcha.* "We can't go anywhere; someone has robbed us of everything we had on the way here. We can't get away and we can't get in, please help us." *The right hand moves to her chin, while she observes the group for a while.* "Quite crappy situation…" *she sighs mentally, but then goes on to meet with her small group, which has formed a circle at the corner.* "Okay, there is Kysaek…" *the other Asari says, grabs in her interior pocket of her robe and draws five small cards, similar to Credit Cards.* "Those are your Identity Cards. On them are found your IDs once again. Now you need only to cross with this through the marked field, but before doing that, remove the protection, so that your genetic Code is saved on it. In connection with your false ID on the card, your finger print becomes the mark of your false identity." *she speaks quietly, while giving the cards to each of them.* "Carry it always with you and don't lose it and above all don't do anything that motivates C-Sec to take a genetic sample of you. When we are at the checkpoint, we meet an acquaintance of me; so let me talk and look as sad and exhausted as possible." Thais explains everyone, before she nods.Then everything keeps silent until Kysaek asks.* "But you have five additional cards…is this something like a replacement?" *Sapto answers this question with a nod and adds.* "One never knows…just in case." *Elaine moves her head back and forth. *"You know…I have seen a group back there…five people in total like us. Apparently they have been fleeced and they neither get in nor out.", she suggests and Relis speaks the question:* "I know as a Doctor that one needs to help needy people, but in this case it is different….what if we need the cards?" *Kysaek shrugs with her shoulders.* "I believe when we get busted somehow, these new cards will be quite useless…and an idea crosses my mind right now: we could ask them, if they want to work for us." *Kysaek adds for consideration. Everyone puts a thinking mien until Thais replies: "The idea is not bad at all…they need to transmit only their ID on these cards and then leave their Code on the cards….it is always good to help people, because most of them don't forget kindness…so what the others say?" *After a short hesitation the Drell bends her head forward a bit.* "Yes this is true." *Thereupon Dios and Kuren say.* "Assistant Mechanics, we agree." *Kysaek gets the cards handed over, and takes them as well nodding.* "Okay Girls, I am soon to be back."


*After these words the Asari turns around and moves through the crowd until she reaches the other group, only to stop in front of them, catching their attention in this way.* "Please, help us, we were robbed off…" *Kysaek nods raising her hand in the same time.* "I know, I have read it. What happened?" *Now the female Turian steps forward.* "We came around two weeks ago from the colony Euphoria. The conditions there get worse and worse, not only for the city, the conflicts spread out over whole Eden Prime, but not only the humans, but every species attacks the other one. We couldn't stay there anymore." Moving her finger Kysaek responds.* "Ah yes Euphoria, the city on Eden Prime, which was attacked by Neo-Cerberus with the Ehm…ehm…" *she snaps with her fingers.* "With the Extermina Virus." *The human nods.* "That it is…can you help us? " *he asks and Elaine replies to him:* "I can and I will…" *she raises her hand with the five Identity Cards.* "Those are five Identity Cards, fresh and new without a genetic Code. You need to transmit your ID to the card only, get rid of the protection and move with your finger over the marked field to add your Genetics to it." *The group comes closer slowly and the second Batarian looks quite disbelievingly. "You want to give us these cards?" *Thereupon the Asari says simply.* "I want and I have an offer for you." The Vorcha growls.* "Nargh Asari, there is a catch for cards, too nice it was." *Immediately Elaine shakes her head. "No I'll give you the cards simply without a catch and look at the offer as a bonus." *she says and gets this question from the human.* "What is your offer?" *Slowly the Asari gives everyone of them a card while explaining.* "Soon my group wants to start a business. There we will need probably also some employees, but more detailed information you get only, when you agree and meet us again." *The five refugees look at the cards and nod one after another.* "Well then we meet again on the Citadel for sure – the Refugee Sector is quite limited in size." *Elaine murmurs and raises her hand for farewell, before she goes back to her group.There she says quietly.* "Everything is arranged, get us in Thais." *The addressed one bends her head forward, before she begins to move forward slowly, followed by the remaining four people. They stop few meters away from the Checkpoint with lowered heads and arms pressed against their bodies, except for Thais, which taps against the glass of the control room and a man looks at her. Both exchange glances, before the human says.* "That is Control Gate 503, Department for C-Security Services and Immigration; what do you want, Miss?"*The Asari puts her Identity card on the desk and pushes it forward carefully, speaking a bit quieter: "I and my group have a long way behind us; we come from the Eastern Attican Traverse. The reign of terror of this Volus, Rupert Elcoss II, was unbearable." *The man takes the card below his slot, saying.* "Who had thought that the son of Rupert Elcoss from Elcoss Combine would create an independent government, which takes over the Eastern Attican Traverse." *The glance focuses on the card, before the man looks to the Asari, who replies.* "True. It was tiring and our journey was so long, that we feel like a fading sun, completely burned out." *Nodding the officer puts the card in a terminal, types something in and a scanning program starts on the screen. It lasts few minutes until a word is written on the Display.* "Verified." *It motivates the man to pull the card out and give it back to Thais, who goes aside of the Checkpoint. The same game repeats four times now: the officer puts the card inside the terminal, types something in and gives the card back to its owner until everyone in the group is ready.* "Every one of you has permission to stay in this Sector; everything else needs to be authorized by the Department of Immigration and C-Security Services. I wish you a good day."*At the end everyone of the group nods another time, before the man opens the door and the group passes through the doorframe, while the door to the Citadel closes behind of them again….



Cut, this chapter is out:)
At first, let me say: NO! The Nigthmare was only a nightmare, no indoctrination or Spacekid etc. I say this now because the german Readers were little bit afraid of it:)

And i´ve got a question because of the N7: "i dont know if you are not aware of that but "N7" is alliance elite
training program so it is human-only. You cant misplaced them with N7 Ops. That is really different thing"
Yes he´s right but let me say:  I´m well aware of this situation, but like you mentioned as well it refers to the N7 Special Ops founded during the Reaper War. In this future it became a real army, with the hardest training (equally to the N7 Training Program), consisting of all species, the best of the best and it is only answerable to the Council. In this way it is a difference to the Spectres, who are most often mavericks.

Choices for this Chapter follows later

*Update* Choices from last Chapter.



1. The rest of the Eclipse Sisters are on a Refugee Transporter; their goal is the Citadel. Uncertain, if she has been taken a hammering too much or if she wants to shuffle off her responsibility, Thais gives the command to Kysaek, whereupon the Twins and the Doctor agree. The flight is long and Kysaek stews over, what needs to be done now, what can be done in general…one needs much to gain one’s ends: companions, weapons, machines, power…and more…but the most important thing is money….but how can you earn it? (Attention: that is a rough decision, between ‘legal’ and ‘illegal’, according what you chose, there will come corresponding, more precise options…and that here is no final decision,only the first direction )

A – The Asari decides to do legal things in future.
B – The Asari decides to do illegal things in future.
C – The Asari decides to go a path between both things, a legal façade with partially illegal activities. (win)

(Following decision is only for Not_Zero)
2.Reaching the Citadel in a Refugee Dock, Kysaek meets a group of mixed species. They don’t get in and have lost almost everything, but Kysaek’s group is in the possession of enough false IDs. What will she do?

A – Kysaek doesn’t care what is happening with the refugees. She ignores them.
B – Kysaek decides to help the group and smuggles them in with her. (win, yeah the good "Paragonics" )
C – Kysaek wants to help the group but also offers simultaneously to work for her in future.
D – Kysaek wants to help the group but only if they work for her.
E – Kysaek wants to help the group but only when they give her the rest of what they have.
F– Kysaek wants to help the group but only when they give her the rest
of what they have...but even then she will ditch them.
G – Kysaek wants to help the group but only when they give her the rest of what they have...but will tell C-Sec about them later on
H – Kysaek wants to help the group…with the ulterior motive to sell them on the Citadel to lowlifes.

Here we go! Act 3, Chapter 2!




Act 3: The cards are being reshuffled
Chapter 2: First Steps


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



*The stream of air moves over the metal surface of a red Skycar; curve over curve the vehicle flies, getting in the line of the traffic, while a Turian is sitting behind the wheel. He is on his way with an increased speed, while the light gets refracted, when the car leans into the curve once again and in this way whooshes past the window, which belongs to the quarter, where the group of Kysaek is sleeping, bathing the room for a moment in a shadow until the light can shine into once again. Stimulated from the whirring noise of the vehicle and the short play with lights, Kysaek's eyelids open slowly and see two blue feet in front of her face as the first thing of the morning. She follows the legs until she reaches Thais, who lies with her head by Kysaek's feet on the other hand. The Asari share the only blanket, which hides their bodies sparsely. Both wear only underwear, whereby Elaine begins to curl slowly and to stretch a bit, while moving her head on the bunk bed and looking around in this way in the lightning up room.*


*The whole room is even smaller than Elaine's single bedroom in the Eclipse Base. Not even something like a sanitary area is found in this room, while around a meter away a camp bed is standing. On it Doctor Azkar is sleeping and when the Asari directs her eyes upwards, she sees the hand of one of the Twins, who sleep over Thais and Elaine. On the elbow Kysaek pushes her upwards slowly and turns her pelvis right, before she puts her feet down on the ground, bending her upper body forward and supporting herself with the arms on her knees.She closes her eyes.* "Now we are really on the rocks, but it could be worse. Many others need to sleep in these provisional containers, which get piled one on top of another. We have at least a quarter." *she thinks, rubbing over her face with her palms, before finishing the thought.* "Okay, Elaine: You are awake. You are fairly up to the mark and you are the leader of a small group, which has accepted your command. Now is the question: What will you do? You have not much money, you can fight reasonably well and have the Super Fighter Thais, a female doctor and two freaked out female Salarians with a thing for Tech at your disposal." *the Asari nods to herself, before she adds.* "But your resources are quite much limited and currently we need to stay at the Refugee District. Everything else is taboo." *She pushes her upwards, pushing her legs trough and stretching her arms upwards, before she bends over to grab – seemingly – her clothes, which lie right beside the bed. First she shoves the long-sleeved shirt over her head, followed by the pants and her shoes, before she throws the Poncho over her upper body and wraps the cloth around her head, whereby her face stays completely open. Kysaek frisks her pants pocket and draws her Identity Card out, before putting it back and shutting the pocket with an overlap, on which a button is found. Finally ready she goes to the door, opens it and leaves the room.*


((Now  listen to in your background:))
*In a loosely pace the Asari goes the first meters, while behind her is a huge bald wall, which is expanding sideways over several hundred meters and there are also found door after door. Left and right from Elaine are found Containers, two piled vertically, appearing to be almost something like an apartment block, which is looking like this more and more the further away one is. The Asari raises her right arm for a moment to look at a projection, which appears over her wrist.* "The Citadel really doesn't know set hours; 10 o'clock p.m. and still the people are found everywhere." *she murmurs quietly and takes the hand down again, hiding it beneath the Poncho. After she has passed several corners and hundred meters, Elaine reaches a bigger courtyard, which is indeed full of people, but still not so blocked heavily like the corner, which Elaine has left right now. The first thing on her lips are these words.* "Mhhh apparently this is something like a small market…reminds me of the Station in the Omega Nebula." *She doesn't enter the courtyard, but instead goes along the edge, following the street and observing everything from a distance. The shops seem to be consistent: most often bigger tables behind which boxes are found, but Elaine can't see from this distance, what gets sold exactly. Elaine moves her eyes away slowly, murmuring.* "There one can go shopping pretty well probably, but it is useless for us right now…we need something safer, something improvable and not too expensive." *while her eyes move right and discover an entrance, which seems to lead to a side street, what is visible by the long glass wall, which extents few hundred more meters. After a short hesitation Elaine moves in this direction, raising her arms thereby and putting them over her heard. She says quietly.* "Mhh maybe I make a find there….looks at least not so rundown like the courtyard up here." *and keeps silent after this, passing the door and grinning thereby.* "Yeah this looks better for sure." *Her eyes move along the street, on whose right side seems to string together shop after shop, but still looking different from shop to shop and a bit more professional, when at the big courtyard.Almost Kysaek gets jostled against a Krogan; in general she needs to look out for species, which come towards her, the whole time in this small street, but she stays calm and says mentally.* "Relax Elaine; it is tight in here and the Citadel seems to be bursting at the seams." *She breathes in deeply once.Slowly she stops, concentrating her attention at the first signpost, which is hanging over a door. She reads mentally.* "Smooth Harun." *before she puts her head in the neck, brooding.* "Smooth Harun…sounds odd and I don't want to enter it only to see what he offers." *Elaine nods finally and continues to hit the road only to look at the next shop. This time there is a small display window, through which one can look inside the shop directly and Elaine lifts her head again a bit, only to focus on the shining writing with the words.* "ZRS – Zaeed'sRED Suns." *The finger of the right hand taps against her chin for a while thinking.* "Mhh Zaeed's Red Suns….I have heard from them…they were founded around 30 years ago from this mercenary, who accompanied Shepard, but is a mercenary group the right thing? We could get noticed quite fast there…and mercenary groups fight or work together with other mercenaries from time to time." *Elaine takes her finger away from her chin thinking this and shakes her head, murmuring quietly.* "No, no, that is not a good idea…maybe someday, but no, not now." *She goes on cozily, shop after shop, whereby she doesn't discover something, what would be worth longer attention; at least not before she discovers a signpost beside a door, on which.* "Big Barret's Battle Arena." *is written in red letters and Kysaek begins to grin lightly.* "If this doesn't belong to a Krogan, I call myself Blue Pea." *With the grin she pushes the door button, whereupon the door opens and she can take the first step in, but she stops instantly, after hearing this growled yelling.* "I am Big Barret und if I say you pay 200 Credits the month, you pay 200 Credits." *The Asari eyeballs the room and the situation: a table behind which a growling Krogan is standing – behind him another door, with the writing.* "Training Hall." * – and in front of the table a Turian, who spares with the Krogan fiery. *"200 Credits? There for that I learn from a Krogan how to floor somebody? There I can hire a Krogan for 100 Credits as my bodyguard …that you are at least worth." *the Turian mocks about the Krogan, who narrows his eyes to slits a bit.* "Really? 100 Credits? I bet with you, that she…" *he points at Kysaek, while the Krogan replies to the Turian.* "…has more on grey matter than you bony turian Ass."* The arms of the Turian cross and he shakes his head.* "The oldest trick in the galaxy…do you believe I'll follow your pointer? There is nobody I am sure of that." *the man says, but gets this as an answer.* "But the Krogan speaks the truth." *from Kysaek, whereupon he turns around and in the next moment the right fist of the Krogan dashes down on the Turian head. The Turian collapses with a loud BUMM on the ground, while the Krogan comments this with these words.* "Well, well 100 Credits? 100 Credits in your ass." *the Krogan laughs, while looking at Kysaek.* "Good Distraction, Honey, Interested in private lessons?" *he asks her, but Elaine shakes her head smirking.* "Thanks for the compliment, but no. I wanted to stop by only. Have fun with your business." *she winks and turns around, leaving the shop again in this way, while.* "Would be not a bad option, but I believe the Krogan would be a crappy partner." *is crossing her mind. She has reached the other end of the shopping street almost and the last shop on this side hasn't a display window, but beside the door this writing shines.* "For Sale." *Elaine lifts her head and reads over the door.* "Information Branch Office of Harrots." *Kysaek puts the finger of her right hand again at her chin, tapping against it, while she thinks.* "Mhh that is an Information Broker…and he is selling. With this I could achieve something, but our Team….would it be really so good in such a kind of job?" *she shakes her head after a while of thinking.* "No,no, no…there for nobody is the right type of person, but hey! I could ask in there, if they know some good investment opportunity." *Elaine says finally. She opens the door then and goes inside. The room seems to be quite big: At the side are some seats and in the middle is a bigger box with a small bush planted in it; directly behind it is a white table, where a female Quarian is sitting, wearing a dark green Enviro-Suit.The woman lifts her head, saying friendly.*



"Welcome by Harrots Information Office. My name is Kaleeh vas Rannoch. How can I help you?" *and with the typical echoing of the quarian mask. Kysaek raises her hand replying.* "G'day! I have arrived in the Refugee District not long ago and have looked around a bit, to find a passable business, where I could invest. Unfortunately I couldn't make a find, but I am sure you can give me appropriate information."*The hand of Elaine lowers again, while the Quarian puts her hands into each other, answering businesslike.* "I am sure I will be able to find something, but point out that any information has a different price." *The Asari nods to this, before the Quarian turns around to the Terminal and begins to type onto a holographic Keyboard.* "Well the possibilities in the district are limited, but still I need an amount of money you are ready to invest." *the woman says and Elaine puts her arms against her side, saying calmly.* "So my maximal fund is 15.000 Credits, but one needs also something for living, which is why I say 12.000 Credits." *After saying this Elaine waits on the Quarian, who continues to type something on the keyboard. After a short amount of time it beeps a bit louder and Kaleeh looks back to the Asari.* "Well after our information there are two possibilities, which are available in the District and match with your budget." *she says and waits for Elaine's answer.* "And what possibilities are these?" *she asks immediately and gets this response from Kaleeh.* "On the one hand there is an express company, which went out of business a while ago and wants to be sold by the Citadel Authorities." *Kysaek begins to look thoughtful, while the female Quarian explains the second offer.* "The second offer refers to this premises here. Like you have seen outside beside the door as well probably, the boss of this small Information Company wants to close this Branch Office and relocate it up to the Presidium, where the Main Office is found."*Elaine lifts her head, looking at Kaleeh, while the woman asks.* "To what do you wish more precise information? The first one costs 1500 Credits and the second only 500." *Thereupon Elaine murmurs wondering.* "You want to have money, that I get information about the sale of your office?" *The Quarian nods, while she answers.*"I need to see to it that I get out of this deal with a minimum of loss. Normally the Citadel should be only a Stopover for my pilgrimage, but unfortunately I listened to the advice of the wrong people and now I need money to get the ticket to leave this place." *Kysaek murmurs.* "But I heard that the pilgrimage isn't existing anymore." *Thereupon Kaleeh raises her hands.* "Not in the old fashion anymore, yes. In the past you should travel around until you have found something valuable for the Fleet, to prove your value. Today it is, that one should visit certain locations, get a proof for this there and then come back to the Sacred Site on Rannoch."*Elaine moves her head here and there, while the Quarian adds.* "My situation is quite amusing." what leads to the question of Kysaek.* "And why is that so?" *The female Quarian answers quite fast.* "My father suffered a similar fate on his pilgrimage 35 years ago. He stranded on Omega and opened a shop for salvage, but was not able compete with the prices of Harrot. But then the legendary Commander Shepard came to him and gave my father Kenneth Credits, so that he could continue his journey." *To this Elaine needs to ask again.* "This Harrot from back then, is it the same Harrot, like the Harrot here…?" *The female Quarian approves to this with a simple nod, before Elaine says.* "Okay, enough questions. Let me think…" *she crosses her arms thereby and leans her head back more on her neck.* "Mhh an Express Company or the office of the Information Broker…mhmhmhmh…hard decision. With an Express Company I could make much money….legal or illegal, but for the job as Information Broker it is valid as well, regarding what kind of information one sells…but do we have what it takes to do this? I have definitely not the talent for this and Thais is more a fighter as well…the Doctor is a Doctor and the Twins are….everything but not usable for this." It lasts a while before Kysaek leaves her thoughts again to say to the Quarian.* "Give me the information about the Express Company." *The female Quarian nods thereupon and begins to type again, while Kysaek activates her modified Omni-Tool, as well like Kaleeh to transfer the Credits. After the transfer Kaleeh begins to give the information speaking slowly.* "The Express Company is found close to the Refugee Docks. The purchase price is 10.000 Credits and like mentioned earlier the sellers are the Citadel Authorities, after the last owner crashed. He was not able to afford to pay the local criminal organizations anymore, which is why they began to sabotage his business. If you are able to defend yourself against these gangs or when you are able to pay them, the company can become quite profitable. It has an access for Skycars with the size of a small truck and in the Company itself a small van is found, but which seems to be inoperative and needs to be repaired first. As the owner of the Company a pass would be available, when you need to deliver something outside of the District. And just round your corner is a lift to the Upper Levels of the Citadel, from which you can reach all five arms."After saying these sentences the woman keeps silent for a while, before she remarks still.* "I hope this information will be of use for you. There is nothing more I can say about it." *Elaine nods just, before she says calmly.* "I thank you, it sounds quite good. If it becomes a big deal, I will be not ungrateful and will remember you." *Kaleeh answers this with a nod, followed by these words: "You are too kind. I wish you good luck." Thereupon Elaine raises her right hand again, before she turns around to leave the Branch Office.*



*The hands are found at the back of the Poncho, while the Asari leaves the side street slowly, going along the edge of the courtyard and thinking thereby over her plan over and over again.* "Well, now I have the information, but should I go there immediately to buy the Company or should I go back first to say it to the others? Mh hm hm hm,…maybe I will be out of luck and come too late, if I go to the others first. With other words: First I go there and wrap up the deal …after all I am the Boss and the others follow me and will need to accept my decision….yeah so it's done!" *she says energetically, while moving left a bit and shoving herself through the crowd on the courtyard, which is still quite lively, bit by bit. At every stand fiery bargaining is heard. Everyone tries to negotiate the lowest price as possible, above all at the stands where apparently groceries or clothes are being sold, but nothing of this seems to interest Elaine. She doesn't stop a bit to look around more properly,  while she moves through the crowd until she reaches the other side after few minutes, reaching the street she has come from in this way.Then she thinks.* "Mhhh when I trace this street and then go right, I need to reach the Refugee Docks." *While she does this, she takes her hands from her back and allows them to move around beside her body. This time the eyes are directed upwards, whereby she notices that between the Containers linen are spanned. Laundry is hanging on them, from which the Asari gets a drop of water from time to time, while she notices as well like people are seen at each side standing at the entrances of their Container, most often women carrying a child in their arms or the child is found beside them. Few  of the children – consisting of various species – play at the sporadic stairs, which lead to the upper.* "Living Quarters" *Every species is represented by the children, from a human child till the a bit bigger Krogan cub. Elaine begins to listen to their carefree words.* "We play Tresher Maw now! I am the mighty Krogan Warlord and you are Tresher Maws" *the krogan cub says, hammering against his chest in this moment, but gets this answer of a small turian girl.* "No, not again Tresher Maw. We play Citadel! And I will be Commander Shepard!" *what gets instantly a comment from a young human.* "You can't be Shepard! You are no human and additional to this a girl! I am Commander Shepard!" *A small scramble begins that's why.* "I am Shepard!"; "No me!"; "I!"; "I! Girls can't be Commander Shepard!" - "Don't care if you are Shepard: I am Urdnot Wrex the coolest of everyone!" *The children speaks helter-skelter, what leads to a small smirk on Kysaek's face, while she goes away from them more and more, until she is out of earshot and turns around a corner, right. Her head lowers a bit and her eyes look to the ground more, while she seems to be quite thoughtful.* "Mhh…so now I go to the Express Company; a good price for this joint, but I hope that thing has not completely gone to rack. The Twins will be quite happy to get going the truck once again and the Doctor worries about our health…what means probably that Thais and me will need to take on the deliveries." *but then another thought crosses her mind and she begins to think from the start.* "Well will I and Thais need to do this for real? I have offered the refugees work; If I buy this company I could start to look after them." *the Asari nods, before she adds.* "Kysaek you are a genius! Helping other is worth the while at the end." *she grins thereby, still going along the street, the whole time straight forward until a bigger passage is seen, over which this writing is seen.* "Refugee Control" *Kysaek stops instantly and lifts her head a bit murmuring quietly.* "Dead ahead it leads to the Control…the Express Company is close, the Quarian said." *She begins to look around thereupon, but finds only one additional path, which leads right and where a big crowd is found, which seems to gather around someone. After this short thought.* "Well then let us trace the only way." *the Asari goes on, passes the gathered crowd thereby, which seems to listen to a voice, which Kysaek begins to hear as well more and more.*"It was our destiny to get annihilated 35 years ago, but the Big Sacrifice of our people from Kar'shan gave the galaxy enough time to prepare for the enemy and ultimately defeat it." *a man roars, which Kysaek tries to see and which one turns out to be a Batarian at the end.*


(( Remember the Mad Prophet, who predicted the end of all times in Mass Effect 2?
The guy on Omega? This guy is something similar. But not the same))

"I am only a humble servant of the people, but let me say that I request, no, I demand your help! Give the people of Kar'shan what they deserve; show them your gratitude by helping by the reconstruction! Maybe one day the Reaper come back and it will because of these brave men and women to hold the enemy as long as everyone needs to be prepared to defend you and to secure your survival once again! If you act heretical, then regret now, because the end is coming!"*Over and over again the man repeats these phrases and Elaine begins to shake her head, before she passes the crowd a bit faster, following the road to the right. She goes several hundred meters, before she arrives at the end of the street, where on the right side further Container are found, lined up against and on top of each other, right in front of the railing, from where one has quite a view at the five Wards of the Citadel, while to the left side is found an endless wall of the Citadel and a door with shining, holographic letters over it.* "For Sale." *


"Mhhh no way leads further from here, except the road back and the abyss in the front…probably this needs to be the location I was searching for.", she thinks, before she goes to the door. She puts her arms at her hips, brooding.* "Ehm and where I need to go now to buy the building?" *She taps with her left sole of the foot on the ground, before she grumbles a bit louder.* "Would be really good, when here would be written somewhere, where I need to go now…" *Instantly she gets an answer to this, when a small device appears at the wall, looking like a camera, which activates itself now and projects a hologram of an Asari, who says relaxed.* "I greet you, Miss T'Veres. My name is Avina and I am at your disposal." *Elaine constricts her eyes looking at the projection, before she asks.* "What kind of thing are you?" *The projection answers.* "I am Avina, a Virtual Intelligence, which was programmed for answering questions and helping citizens of the Citadel." *Elaine nods thereupon slowly, before she says carefully.* "Can you say me, who I need to contact to buy this building…provided that this is the Express Company, which should be sold like I have heard about…?" *The VI replies instantly.* "That is correct. This Express Company is for sale and if you can't find the way to the responsible Authority, I can record your ID and send up your buying offer."*Kysaek smirks for a moment, before she says.* "That sounds good, wait a moment…" *she puts her hand in her pants, opens the clasp and takes out her Identity Card.* "Can you scan this card?" *the Asari asks and a small ball comes flying from the camera, for experts recognizable as a small VI, which floats over Elaine's card and scans it several time with a blue stripe, before it beeps and it flies back to the camera.* "I have acquired your Data and transfer it to the responsible Authority. It will contact you soon; can I do something else for you?" *the VI says, but Elaine shakes her head and Avina says goodbye.* "I wish you a nice day, citizen." *After this she resolves, before the device disappears in the wall once again.*


*The Asari breathes in one time and closes her eyes, before she begins to think once again.* "Good, that is done. I think now is the time to look after the five refugees, to get going everything finally." *a moment she keeps silent, before adds mentally.* "I have no other choice than to ask around; they can be only on this level or a bit higher, where the Refugee District ends." *She turns around, puts her card back to her pants, but keeps her hand there as well, while the other hand gets shoved in the other pants pocket. She begins to move slowly, murmuring.* "Would have been better to ask their names or the frequencies of their Omni-Tools." *With half closed eyes she moves along the street impassively this time,but looks around from to time. One corner after another Elaine passes until one hour has passed and she is still searching. She says then to herself.* "Okay this makes no sense in this way and in general, if they would be on Level One, I would have met them already accidently. Better try Level Two…from there is a good view over this level as well."*One time she stretches herself, before moving in the direction of the courtyard again until she has left the 'Container Settlement' and goes on its edge, to the wall, where a door with the label.* "Lift." *is found. Elaine goes straight to it and pushes the green button of the door, which opens then. Kysaek enters the lift, followed by others, before she pushes the number two and the lift begins to move. A dulcet melody is heard, followed by this announcement: "Here the newest Short News: On Illium the problems don't want to end. After the setback of the terror organization, the leaders of this group escaped the local Security Forces few days ago and their current whereabouts are unknown. A spokesperson of PGI declared that the company will not spare any expanses or efforts to catch the fugitives and they have increased the bounty to 400.000 Credits for each person."After this has ended the whispering starts in the lift, but nothing more, while Elaine starts to think now.* "400.000 Credits? If it wouldn't kill me, I would deliver me myself." *she smirks then still, when the lift reaches the second level finally. With the crowd she moves outside, but stops after few meters to look around..*



*The second Level seems to be smaller than the first one, but there for as well more put in order. Elaine goes on still several meters, before she grabs the railing with both hands to look down at the first level. The view she comments with.* "Boahh…" *only. First she looks left, where the whole settlement of containers is found, which seems to be a labyrinth from up here. On the right side of the first level she sees the open courtyard, filled with stands, whereby these are harder to see from up here, while the crowd of people is seen still pretty well.After a short while she pushes her body away from the railing to trace the road again, brooding.* "Mhhh I believe I ask the people once…better than searching the whole time without a result." *She nods to this and moves right at the first woman – a human – before she coughs lightly and subtle.* "Excuse me, can I ask you a question?" *This catches the attention of the woman, who nods, before Elaine continues calmly.* "I am searching for a group of refugees. Five in total: Two Batarians, a female Turian, a human and a Vorcha. Do you know them by accident maybe?" *but she gets only a headshaking as an answer, which is why she murmurs.* "I see, still thank you." *She doesn't stop there, but goes directly to a Volus, who is found beside a pillar. She approaches him in the same way like earlier and he responds.* "Ask ahead." *panting thereby once. Elaine asks the same question like the woman, but gets again only a headshaking as an answer with a.* "I am sorry, I don't know them." *Elaine nods to this and says.* "Thank you for your time." *She goes on, asks one person after another and even whole groups, but doesn't get the answer she wants to have. She breathes in deeply once, before she growls lightly.* "Not so easy to find like I expected…" *Suddenly she gets tapped on her shoulder. She turns around and snorts a bit grumpy.* "What?" *She looks in the eyes of a Salarian, who bends his head forward for a moment, before he lifts it again. He speaks in the usual fast way.* "Excuse me Miss, but I couldn't prevent to overhear that you are searching for certain persons." *Elaine's mien gets happier immediately.* "Do you know something about them or where I can find them?" *The man shakes his head thereupon, adding.* "Not directly; I don't know where they are and the information I want to share will not make you happy for sure, but probably you have helped them to come through the Controls and there for they offered you help or at least something similar?" *The Asari nods to this instantly, putting on a skeptical mien, while the Salarian continues his speech with the following sentence.* "Well unfortunately I need to tell you, that you fall victim to a gang of swindlers. I fell victim to them as well and have never seen my 1000 Credits back again."*The Salarian nods during these words repeatedly and Elaine begins to tense up a bit, drawing a deep breath, before she says quietly.* "They…have…deceived…me…?" *Once again the man nods and Elaine adds.* "Thank you for this information…that saves me further searching and waiting for this group." *Without another word she turns away clenching her fists thereby. Slowly she goes on, while in her head pure martial law rules right now, which couldn't be explained by any word. The Asari comes close to the lift, which opens in this moment. She shoves herself through the leaving crowd, before she leans against the wall of the lift, which closes it door and alone Elaine drives downwards.* "Terrific…really terrific…five Identity Cards lost and they were quite expansive. Grr….so much to help and get help for that…I will kick their asses pretty hard." *she snorts for a moment, before she continues to babble.* "Well then…go back to the others…they are asking themselves probably where I am…that will be quite…annoying, but hey…Thais thought it is a good idea as well and she has 800 years of experience. Really Elaine that was a good lesson on your way to the top…the helping hand gets a knife in the back…"*Slowly Elaine moves to the middle of the lift, crosses her arms and lifts her head, scowling pretty much….



Cut:) At first....ha ha looks like the help for the refugees wasn´t so good?*g* This for the Paragonic! It´s not like "super" Shepard who helps everybody....but don´t get really tricked or betrayed any time:=) Nope this is Kysaeks Story, this is Kysaek...this isn´t no Shepard 2.0 and this "Galaxy" isn´t so soft as like it would be by Shepard:)

Okay, here´re the Choices from the last Chapter:=) Think in 2 Days, the next Chapter follows too.



1. After the group has rested in a quite small refugee quarter, Kysaek is the first to wake up. Although she decided to follow a certain plan, she still thinks how she should start all of this…

A – She decides to follow the advice of the unknown woman, but doesn’t tell the group the details still, while she keeps her ears open wandering around in the refugee district, to hear maybe some information regarding PGI and their allies.

B – The Asari sticks to her plan and starts to look around in the refugee district with the still remaining 15.000 Credits and hopes to find a good investment opportunity. In the small ‘Business Street’ she finds a…. (you can insert here everything what comes into your mind. Like always if you like the idea of someone else, you can
take it. If you care there for that the circumstances allow it, as well like the available resources, there are quite some possibilities. For getting an idea: you have a doctor, two mechanics and two fighters. That doesn’t mean that you need to open a clinic now, but you should only understand the thing with the resources. It could be a risky deal on the galactic Stock Market, some shares in a small shop or buying a whole shop or something like that….it is your choice.) (win)--->

The Choice goes on a Expess Company as your reading it in the last Chapter:=)


2. Few hours after the decision, the Asari wants to look around in the Districtin general. A real mixed location and thereby this is ‘only’ the small refugee district on the Citadel. So what will Kysaek do?

A – She walks through the streets and keeps her ears open; maybe there are problems to solve or ‘missions’ to do.
B – Elaine stops by a not remarkable looking shop, which turns out to be a weapons shop: no big choice, but after all something. She decides to
buy something. (Here I need to look what remains of the Credits ;P)
C – The Asari decides to look out for the five refugees, which she has helped to get in. (win)
D – She finds a shop, which seems to be partially successful and decides to rob it.

Here we go:) Time for the next Chapter

PEGI 18

Act 3: The cards are being reshuffled
Chapter 3: Starting


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



*A drop falls to the ground in a puddle, which has taken shape there apparently, followed by more drops of water, which come from a leaky pipe, while the steps echo through the Darkness: whispering and talking is heard, but no one is seen. A blue finger moves slowly to a button and pushes it, whereupon bit by bit lights switch on to light up the room, which gets eyeballed now by many eyes. It is a very big room, the roof is very high and to the right of the group is a door, which leads to a small room – probably an office in which one can see through the wall of glass.A bit further away also on the right side an overhead door is gracing the wall and on the ground in front of it is a protrusion.*."Mhhrr that needs to be the Docking Bay for the trucks." *Elaine thinks, while seeing further in the front some shelves, beside which the mentioned transport vehicle is found, obviously unfit to drive: an open engine block, no doors and a disassembled cargo area.* "Mine!" *is heard from Dios and Kuren on the same time, before they look at each other.* "You fly, I screw." *Dios smirks, followed by Kuren's answer.* "That is no real ship…you fly and I screw." *The hand of Dios raises and points at Kuren.* "You fly." *in the same gesture Kuren replies.* "No, you." *Dios.* "No you." *Kuren.* "No, you!" *Dios.* "No, you!" *Kuren.* "No, you!" *Dios begins to point at herself.* "I can fly forever?" *while Kuren grumbles, pointing at herself.* "No, I am the pilot.", whereupon Dios nods.* "Do what you will." *and Kuren nods to this and Dios turns away. It last few seconds till Kuren realizes it.* "You have tricked me!" *she says followed by a victorious laughter of Dios, while the others of the group walk around in the room already.*


"I believe this is the hall of delivery as well like the storage room." *Thais says and Kysaek points at a corridor, which is leading straight forward.* "Well, but there it continues; this is looking more like storage rooms or what do you mean, Dear Doctor?" *Elaine asks and looks to Relis, who is looking at the left corner of  the hall for her part, where another door is with a window through which one can look inside.* "Good question, but I'll check this room first." *the Drell says and goes to the door with her box in the right hand. * "Well I would have expected worse, above all after our bad luck with the cards." *Thais says and Elaine constricts her eyes, looking left.* "Yes, it was my mistake; anybody can make a mistake. Next time I will be on my guard to help someone blue-eyed." *the Asari grumbles, whereby Sapto turns around to her and does the familiar shoulder-gesture.* "This is called experience. I see your eyes and your voice, but believe me, I don't say this to confront you with it, because I have agreed to and would have done the same in such a situation. You have learned from this, but this shouldn't mean that you shouldn't help anyone anymore." *she says to Elaine, who lowers her head and moves away from the hand gently, murmuring.* "I look around back there; take the room in the front." *She goes straightly forward, even before Thais can answer. Elaine puts her hands to her hips, while going along the corridor, which is still not lighted up, before she stops in the shadows to look around a bit. Mentally she asks.* "Mhrr where is the darn switch?" *looking around from left to right and from up to down several times it lasts a bit until the Asari makes a find, grumbling mentally.* "How the hell one should notice a grey switch on a grey metal wall? Everywhere is dust." *She shakes her head thereby, before she pushes the switch, whereupon the light goes on slowly, starting from the front, lightning up one by one until it reaches the rear.


((Now you can listen to  this, a third time Hope it doesn't get boring )
*The first thing the Asari notices is the red line on the ground, which is painted along the middle of the way till the end; at single spots it leads left or right to closed doors and at the end of the corridor seem to be stairs.* "Wow, lines on the ground for orientation….the last owner seems to have the brain of a Varren and even they have a sense of smell." *she jokes around quietly and begins to go along the line. After few meters the first junction of the line comes, left, which Elaine follows; at the label beside the door she reads.* "Cold Storage" *before she goes on a bit, focusing this time on the right side to a normal door with a handle. In white letters, on the bald metal entrance is handwritten.* "Locker Room" *whereby Elaine thinks.* "Mhh small door; let's see how much space is in there." *she nods once again, before putting her hand on the handle to push it down slowly. She wants to push the door open, but it seems to get caught on something.* "I call this a typical cliché…shops in the Refugee Sector and what is with their doors? They are stuck." *she grumbles, before she braces her shoulder against it. She begins to push, giving from time to time a small hitch, before finally she can open it, but falls on the ground almost.* "Nargh bloody h…" *leaves her mouth, before she looks beside the door to flip the switch, lightening up everything.Slowly the Asari looks around, nodding at infrequent intervals, before she says.* "Looks very orderly; maybe a bit dusty, but apart from that, really good." *She examines every detail one by one: the dark red benches in the middle; the lockers, spread out from left to right, ten in total; at the farthest end a passage with the label.* "Shower" *With a relaxed mien the Asari closes the door slowly, turning around thereby, but needs to help make it happen with power, before the lock snaps too and Elaine can follow the red line, but now she has reached the end almost: the stairs. Shortly before the stairs to her right Kysaek finds another door to her left, a little bit bigger than a normal passageway, but without a label or hint thereupon, what is inside. The Asari pushes the green, holographic button, whereupon the plates move to the side and upwards. The way gets cleared for Elaine, who steps into the premises, whereby the light goes on instantly and Kysaek murmurs.* "Motion Sensor" *and looks around. The premises are built narrow, but there for they are at the back a bit more spacious and filled with many strung together shelves, which are for the most part empty. In the left corner of the room, directly opposite of the door, is a bigger Work Bench, which is fitted with good quality equipment: Welder, Drill and more and additional to this even some parts, like arms and a head for a Mech; and fitting to this right beside the bench is found a half-finished Mech.* "Apparently this seems to be something like a Workshop and moreover a Mech for finish-it-yourself." *she says nodding, before she turns around and leaves the Workshop. The room closes behind her, while the Asari begins to move up the stairs.*


*Slowly Elaine reaches the top – the second floor – and looks around to both sides, where in each case is a door-less passage. As the last thing directly in front of her is another door, which she opens first by pushing like usual a green button. The plates move back to the sides, what allows Elaine to enter the room. Immediately she notices the big window to which she comes closer, passing a table thereby, which stands with its front to the entrance; additional to this there is a revolving chair with black leather, whereby Kysaek's attention is directed at the overview over the Main Hall, which she has thanks to the window. A smirk appears on her lips.* "Wow, now it gets serious Elaine. You are the boss, the president… and whatever the Twins have mentioned else." *she thinks, crossing her arms over her Poncho thereby, before she continues.* "But it is a good feeling finally to have success…even when it is an Express Company in need of an overhaul in a Refugee Sector. No, this time you are in control, Elaine, so show it everyone!" *Her mien shows confidence thereby, almost superiority. Finally she turns away from the window after few minutes and sits down in the chair, to lean back quite much and lie down her arms on the armrests.The head lowers as well, although the Asari thinks.* "Nhrrr such chairs are not built for Asari and their cartilage." *She moves her head back more and more and it pushes through the chair with the cartilage-ends and Elaine rolls her eyes. She lifts her head again and examines the spot.* "Is this maybe…? " *she asks herself, before taking her right hand from the armrest to push at the spot, which yields murmurs amused, grinning brightly.* "That was for sure the chair of an Asari or a turian woman, built extra for special shapes." *She gets into position again and leans back relaxed, examining the table in front of her.On one side she finds some screens, piled beside and on top of each other, while on the other side a mike and a small radio are found, whereby Elaine activates the screens first. She observes the presented pictures for few seconds and recognizes one room after another, which she has visited earlier, and also the gatekeeper corridor in the Main Hall, as well like Doctor Azkar, who furnishes her room seemingly. She has opened her box and clears it out at least. On another screen Elaine sees like Thais observes apparently the office, which is found directly beside the entrance of the Main Hall and is filled with quite many tables, as well like shelves and revolving chairs.After the Asari has observed the screens enough, she takes the mike and flips the button on it, which leads to a static, which is echoing through the whole building, followed by a tapping of Kysaek's finger and this question.* "Test, test…do you hear me?" *Everyone turns her head to look around, followed by Elaine via the cameras. One after another finds the corresponding camera in her room and begins to speak, but Elaine can't hear a word. She says in the mike.* "Sorry I don't hear you, but I'll give you something to hear." *She looks thereby to the radio, which Kysaek activates instantly by pushing the button 'On', whereupon a quiet static is heard, followed by grumbling of the Asari. She tries to find a station, what lasts few seconds until something is heard. She puts the top of the mike to the loudspeakers of the radio and a rough male voice begins to speak relaxed.* "And that was the newest song of Janna Lakova. Here by us it continues with a classic, but right before some breaking news for the listeners of Station Citadel 91.1." *he coughs lightly, before he begins to speak impersonal.*


"The crisis around the Alliance Treaty goes on. While the Asari Republics demand a reduction of the military buildup of the Krogan Empire, the Turian Hierarchy clashes with the Council of the Quarian Nation. The turian government takes the view that the Quarians should first settle on Rannoch, before their people spread out on the galaxy and continue the occupations of various worlds, which are adapted for Dextros. At the edge of these bigger disputes, there are also smaller tensions between the Triumvirate and the Terminus Systems once again, after the Volus as well like the Elcor, requested from Omega to compensate various debts. At this the Hanar, the third party of the Union of the Triumvirate, kept neutral and announced that it is the will of the Enkindlers that the people of the galaxy should live in harmony and in the image of the Enkindlers. Here this should not go unmentioned that, still, the Humanity is under-fire; if it is cause of their expansionism or the military buildup of their Fleets or cause of the aggressive policy of the newly elected Prime Minister, Dimir Roman. There are many points which cast negative light on the humanity by almost every leadership. But within few hours, after this new reports speeded through the galaxy, the Citadel Council reacted unified and few stood side by side, when they announced that as long as they are there, the Council will never allow that this galactic society breaks apart." *After this lounger text passage the voice keeps silent few seconds, before it begins once again.* "At the end still a report has reached us right now. After a grueling campaign the Batarians were able to get rid of the cult of 'Free Galaxy' from their home planet. For everyone who was not attentive in school or listens rarely the News: the group, which is calling itself 'Free Galaxy', is an alliance of representatives of every species and they believe still, that the Reaper War is not over; they fight against everyone they think is indoctrinated, but stay quite defensive most often in their home system between the Alliance Territory and the western Attican Traverse. But enough food for your brains; I know what you want to hear and here it is: a title, which above all the more experienced ones of us will remember pretty well." *After his last words a rhythmic sound is heard via the station.*
((Switch off the Sound))



(( Now you can finally listen to another soundtrack, one of the older ones . Like you have realized I bet, I work only with Mass Effect soundtracks. )
*When the sound is heard, Kysaek begins to teeter with her right foot and move her head.* "That is exactly what we need right now." *she murmurs relieved, before she leans back in her chair until it moves backwards a bit and slowly, while Elaine can put her feet up. Slowly the Asari closes her eyes, breathes in and out deeply and drops off to her thoughts more and more. She spaces out evermore until she is not aware of her surroundings anymore except the music. She begins to see images in front of her mind's eye, which proceed like a movie then.* "Mhh I know this sound… like back then in the Club Breathing…with…mhh, Larea…" *is echoing through her mind until she becomes absorbed with her thoughts completely.*


Blinking lights, in many different colors fly through the room, followed by this music, which is heard through the radio. Arms stretch upwards, fidget wildly, the heads swing in circles and the bodies of many Asari are close to each other; from blue to violet, light to dark and engulfed in the colors of the headlights. The whole room is almost overcrowded only with Asari; only few Mechs create the exception in this picture, while they carry glasses or stand directly behind the bar and mix Drinks over and over again. Beside the bar two Asari are sitting in a small private room, whereby one of them strikes more thanks to her white-violet skin color than the other in her simple blue shade, but there for this one wears quite fashionable clothes on her body: a skirt, which is shorter at one side than at the other, additional to this a strappy top, which can be seen pretty well through the transparent vest. In general nothing of this is cheap at all and with the deep black color of skirt and top, the blue skin gets highlighted even more.

*The other Asari wears a dress in a dark red shade on which lower part slits for legs are
found, adorned with golden margins as well like on the wrists are equal in terms of color armlets and at the face eye shadows.*

"Today it is really wild here." *she says and the other Asari replies.* "Yeah, that is because of the 'Come cropped and you get in for free'-Sale probably." *The first Asari begins to smile at this instantly. "Probably you are right, but I ask myself why you have not come cropped, Elaine." *the light skinned Asari says and Kysaek counters with.* "It is right that I do much for few things, but even I have boundaries, Larea." *and she begins to look at the addressed one, before she adds.* "Besides you are not cropped here as well…thereby you are the more carefree one of us all." *Elaine begins to smirk, before she sips on her glass filled with a green liquid.Larea responds in this way.* "I was not in the mood today…I mean, it is my 16th birthday; a little bit style needs to be there." *in a light grumbling manner, before she takes her glass as well to take a swig. During this Kysaek observes her skeptical.* "I thought this would be an extraordinary birthday today…I mean, 16, it was time that you have the same age as me again…I felt so lonely up there and listening to you, it sounds really sad.", *Elaine responds, before putting her glass away, but Lareas mien looks even sadder and she clutches her glass even more, while Kysaek continues to speak.* "But can you tell me, why the others have refused to come? That was beyond my grasp." *and hits with this probably, quite clumsy, on a raw nerve by Larea who lowers her head.* "They couldn't come seemingly…something happens always….but at least you are here, Elaine." *she murmurs quietly, before she lifts her head and slaps on a smile.* "But let us breathe in some fresh air." *Elaine nods to this and together with Larea she stands up follows her to the exit and both go outside. Here they see the peaceful image of the city, like one is accustomed on Thessia, together with a star-bright
night.*
((And decrease the volume of the music a bit, to increase the effect of the next scene.))


*The wind strokes gently over the cold metal of the roads, let's flap the dress of Larea a bit, as well like the transparent vest of Kysaek and some flowers, which blossom at the edges of the Club, planted in several boxes. Elaine sits down at the edge of one box, while Larea leans against the railing and begins to look at the presented view of the city.* "Tell me, were you accepted actually on the school for higher medicine?" *comes from Elaine and Larea answers.* "No and more is the pity." *Thereupon Kysaek reacts a bit unbelieving.* "What? Come on! You have grades, from which I could only dream of, so why should they decline you?" *Kysaek says and for a long moment it gets quiet completely until Larea begins to speak slowly, without turning around.* "I am sick, that's why they have not accepted me and that's why no one has come to the party." *That motivates Elaine to bend forward and put her elbows on her knees, before she asks with a factual voice.* "You are sick? Something serious? Something Infectious? But you look quite healthy in my eyes, Larea."On these words the other Asari turns around, while the wind refreshes a bit more and let's her dress flap again, but stronger. This is followed by her words, spoken quietly.* "I am an Ardat Yakshi." *She keeps standing like a pillar thereby and looks at Kysaek accordingly, who seems to be taken by surprise, gabbling only.* "You are a…?" *She blinks with her eyes several times, while Larea nods and explains it to Elaine.*"Around half a year ago it was diagnosed by me and you know, I was in the hospital one month ago for an operation. But it was nothing unusual, but instead the one where the genetic defect was corrected as much that I will not kill anyone and am able to get children some day. For this operation I needed to take drugs for weeks, which you have seen one time; otherwise they would have sent me to the Monastery and then operated me, but then I would have needed to go back to the Monastery probably." *For a moment she makes a break, before she continues.* "Now there is indeed the medical secrecy, but a while ago it was put into circulation…that's why the others avoid me more and more or their parents forbid the company with me…that's why no one is here, except of you." *Then she keeps silent and waits for a reaction of Elaine, who seems to begin to get it slowly. She coughs lightly, standing up thereby.* "Well…that s-ucks…somehow…but hey, that isn't a deadly epidemic and like earlier it isn't as well…so you can't kill anybody…so, I mean, who cares? You are still a good friend for me." *Kysaek speaks convinced, nodding thereby and creates a smile again on Larea's lips, but as well few tears and she sighs thereby.* "Thank you, Elaine that means a lot for me."*She senses how the hands and arms move over her neck, before Kysaek begins to hug her gently – quite intimately, but still like a friend. Both are standing arm in arm in front of the railing, while the silence of the night engulfs them.* "Friends for eternity." *Kysaek murmurs, as well like Larea.* "Friends for eternity, Elaine…Elaine, Elaine…Elaine, Elaineeeeee! Hey do you hear me?!" *is heard louder and louder, the more often the name gets repeated.*


*The Asari startles up and pushes herself away from the table with her feet thereby. Almost she falls on her back, but can stop her body in time, before she looks around confused. Finally she looks at one of the screens, from which the voice seems to come: in the screen is Sapto, who says over and over again.* "Elaine." *She gets this answer from Kysaek.* "Yes, something on?" *But apparently Thais doesn't hear anything from this, while Elaine checks the screens more properly, but can't find a thing except the mike, beside which big switch are a group of numbered consecutively keys. First the Asari flips the big switch, decreases the volume of the radio there for, before she grabs the 'neck' of the mike with her right hand and moves it to the screens to observe them another time. Then she murmurs mentally.* "At the edge are numbers…if it fits this way?" *she pushes with her finger on a number of the screen, where Thais asks after Elaine the whole time.* "Do you hear me now?" *Kysaek speaks to the top of the sound system and Thais answers.* "Ah, I thought you've gone missing in a black hole." *This leads to a light laughter of Kysaek, before she calms down again, saying: "So what is going on?" Thereupon Thais replies.* "I don't know if you can see it from up there, but in front of the door of the gatekeeper entrance, some odd figures are standing, which want to come in."
((You can switch the music off now. )


*The eyes of Elaine direct to the other screens and she makes the find quite fast: she sees a group of three persons at the entrance: a Turian, a Batarian and a human. She says then to Sapto.* "Yes, I see it now as well; I come down immediately. Let's see what they want…" *She puts the mike aside, deactivates the radio and stands up to leave the office. In the Main Hall Thais has called together the others as well and together they see Kysaek, who comes down.* "Maybe these are beggars." *Thais says and Doctor Relis adds.* "Or maybe people who look for a job." *followed by Dios, who says with a raised hand.* "Or even gangsters, who want to collect protection money." *Kuren doesn't comment this, as well like the others, although everyone looks at Dios with an odd mien. Solely Elaine murmurs.* "Let they get in, then we will know." *She nods then and points at the door, which Thais opens, before they go along the relatively short corridor. On the left side is a small glass cabin – a typical reception – and few meters in the front is the door, which leads from the building outside in the Refugee District.* "Open the door." *Elaine orders gently looking at Sapto thereby, who nods and then pushes the button of the door, which opens like usual to every side.* "Hell it's about time…few more minutes and we had broken the door." *the Turian says with a lightly threatening voice. In this way he catches the attention of the group and Elaine replies with a weak sarcastic sounding voice.*"So, you would have? It seems to be very urgent, if you become so rough. So what do you want from us?" *She looks at the Turian thereby more properly: his face is scarred weakly on the left side and the eye closed; there are many old wounds found, what helps him to look even more dangerous than only thanks to his dark, lightly black scale skin. He growls lightly.* "Show more respect for us or we show you how the things get done here." *he makes a short break, before he gets calmer, but still dangerous.* "We have heard that someone has bought this old company and wanted to pay this person a courtesy visit. You need to know that we are responsible for the protection in this District and our boss places much value on protection. Everything needs to be in order, don't you think so?"*Thereupon Dios responds instantly.* "Dangerous individuals, like I said. Obviously a protection racket." *She catches the attention of the Turian with these words.* "An ugly word, but who can blow smoke in the face of a Salarian?" *is leaving the mouth of the man, which is why the Twins respond angry.* "We are Salarian Women!" *This leads to laughter of the three gangsters, which gets interrupted by Elaine after a short amount of time, while she presses calmly.* "So you want to have money from us?" *The Turian nods and adds to Elaine's sentence.* "That's how it goes: you give us money and we protect you…in this Refugee District many bad things can happen. Our boss is also quite generous regarding this; he knows that you have bought the company today and the first rate falls due in two weeks. I hope we have understood each other."*With this he ends the meeting without a word of farewell. He turns away as well like the other two and goes away with them, while Kysaek waits like the others, before a grumbling murmur is heard from everyone.* "The Broker has mentioned something like this already, so no big surprise." *Kysaek says, before Thais looks to her asking.* "Business is business, no matter if legal or illegal…the only question is: will we pay this figures or will we mean to do the other thing, Elaine?" *The addressed one has crossed her arms and her fingers tap on them, while Kysaek answers in the short way.* "We need weigh many things here…I will think about this the next days, but till then, we need to start working absolutely…and this gives me a good idea." *Elaine nods and snaps with her finger.* "I'll go on the market, while you continue here." *Everyone nods, while she leaves the building, hands hidden in the pants pockets and the body hidden inside the Poncho.*


*Step by step Kysaek goes along the already familiar route, turns around corners and shoves herself through the crowd, thinking.* "Either I am mistaken or the District gets more and more crowded…and it is the same day even." *She shakes her head then continuing her path until she is at the end of the market. She puts her arms at her hips and nods to herself.* "This time no long considerations: we need Weapons! And not only cause of these guys, no, we are almost completely defenseless and that I will change now!"*She decides this in her mind goes to straight to the market and squeezes herself through the dense crowd of various species, before she lines up at the very first stand and listens to the krogan salesman, who praises his goods – apparently food.* "The juiciest fruits you have ever eaten; raised by me after krogan Tradition in a small hydroponic farm! 200 Credits for every kilo! Who wants to have them, yell 'here' and who is able to do this the loudest, I will waive 10 Credits for each kilo." *he laughs loud, but gets to hear the mockery of some immediately.* "The prices are off the roof! 200 Credits for one kilo fruits is too much; at most 50 and even that would be impertinence! You fleece us; no one of us has anything! And who knows from where you have this stuff. From Tuchanka only contaminated fruits come!"More and more of this mockery comes, whereupon the Krogan growls loud.* "If you can't afford it, clear off to the dumping grounds you have come!" *He waves with his hand thereby the whole time, before he clenches it to a fist and almost one could say that every second a riot could begin, but it stays by the vulgar remarks and behaviors, which Kysaek uses to come a bit closer. Then she says to the Krogan with a calm voice.*

"Nice fruits you have here, but I am not interested in it so much. I search for goods, which are digested by few, but quite difficult only and there for lie really good in the hand…We understand each other?" *thereby she doesn't stop to look at him. Finally he nods shortly growling quietly.* "I know what you want and it is a shame, when a Krogan doesn't know where you can get such things. I am searching for it myself, but didn't make a find till now, because such a kind of 'goods' are forbidden to be sold in the Refugee Sector." *Thereupon Elaine nods understanding and answers.* "I see that I didn't know…but I'll continue searching and when I'll make a find, I will contact you." *She smirks thereby as well like the Krogan, who turns around to the upset customers again and Elaine disappears from this Stand.Over and over again the same picture is seen by her: Either a stand with food or clothes with different salesmen – Turians, humans, Batarians, everyone is represented – and over and over again the questioning of Kysaek repeats itself, but she doesn't find anything. Almost an hour passes, when she has reached a Stand owned by a Hanar, sighing quietly.* "Slowly I get tired of searching…and the peaceful Hanar…yeah for sure they will have weapons." *She shakes her head, but still goes to the Stand, where not much customers are found like by the others and she gets greeted by the Hanar.* "This person greets you and asks excited with what it can serve you." *The Asari raises her right hand in a greeting manner, before she says.* "What do you sell here exactly?" *The Hanar gives this answer.* "This Person has something for everyone; ask only and it will not disappoint you." *This leads to a smirk on Kysaek's face, while she continues to speak.* "So if I would need to find someone, who helps me to equip myself, with which I could 'defend myself', would I find it here?" *She puts her arms at her hips again and the Hanar responds: "No you wouldn't.", this educes a sigh from Elaine, but the Hanar continues.* "But this person knows where you can find someone."The attention of the Asari is caught once again instantly, while she murmurs.* "And where is this?" The Hanar raises one tentacle of his, pointing with the peak left. "This person points at the Maintenance Shafts; it is sure you will find there, what you are looking for." Elaine begins to grin now. "You say it so simply? I could be an undercover agent, who wants to control the Weapon's Law." *But the Hanar counters immediately with these words.* "This person had never said something about weapons; one can defend oneself with many things. This person can claim to be completely innocent and believes that an undercover agent would find nothing here anyway, what he is searching for."*Slowly and silent the Asari nods and turns around to the pointed direction, hides her hands in her pants pockets once again, before she moves through the crowd, but gets through better and better, because she is at the edge of the market. Few minutes later she is in front of a bigger wall and lifts her head for a moment to look at the Second Floor at the top. She lowers her head again, looks left and right and doesn't notice anything remarkable thereby except for few curved pipes, which lead from the wall to the ground. She follows them with her eyes, cursing mentally.* "Has he taken me for a ride? What should be here? Here are no shafts. " *She kicks against a pipe, before she even stamps on it. Her eyes are looking downwards, before she needs to laugh quietly.* "Elaine, Elaine…you are standing on it…and with this I don't mean the sound of the pipe." *She looks around thereupon, before she cowers down and shoves herself to the side to open the hatch. She lifts it, before she can go down the ladder, hidden thanks to the pipes apparently – at least no one sees her.*

but there for it is short. So Resetting it is the magic word.))
*Rung for rung the Asari climbs down with only weak light, which is a subtle red and reveals various pipes and conduits. Around ten meter it goes downwards, before the Asari is on firm ground again and can look behind herself, while this crosses her mind.* "Mhrrr there are two directions, but I believe in this case I simply go straightly forward." *She begins to move forward simply, allowing her arms to stroll beside her body and not in her pocket, because she is tensed up a bit.Almost 15 minutes she moves forward only, grumbling thereby.* "Maybe I should try the other direction or better leave the shaft completely; I don't feel like running around down here." *She sighs, but continues to go on until she reaches after few minutes a crossing. She stops there and shakes her head strongly.* "Get stuffed…I'll go bawuhaaaaa…" *she says before she gets surprised, when she hears a quiet clicking and suddenly an insectile creature is in front of her. She snorts at it.* "What the hell are you? …From somewhere I know you…" *but she gets interrupted from a rough voice.* "That is a Keeper; completely harmless…you need to be the first time on the Citadel." *Instantly Elaine follows the voice, raising her fists thereby, but the Batarian raises his hands as well, but there for flat.* "Hey, hey, not so nervous. I can think of a reason why you are here." *he claims and Elaine answers.* "So for sure I didn't want to be scared witless…" *This forces the man to laugh for a moment, before he says.* "We should add some way marks; follow me simply and you can come to our small Weapons Market." *Then he turns around, but Elaine murmurs skeptical.* "If you try to lure me into a trap of slavers, then I'll give you a biotic hammer right into your mug." *She has still raised fists and is lightly tensed up, but the Batarian laughs only and waves so that she should follow him and finally Kysaek does exactly this, keeping the silence thereby.It doesn't last long until both arrive in a bigger room, which is still belonging to the shafts, but seems to be changed for another use lightly.*

"Omega Market…" *the Asari reads quietly the shining sign board, before she moves her head here and there, laughing quietly.* "Is there something like a second Omega in the shafts of the Citadel?" *She looks thereby at the Batarian, who turns around again and joins the laughter.* "Not completely, but Aria stretched out her fingers far after the War…a true Business woman." *he speaks convinced and Elaine seems to be startled up a bit. "THE Aria? Ruler of Omega?" *she asks and looks really disbelievingly, but the man nods only adding.* "I have still to do some things, so here you can find what you want." *Then he leaves the Asari, disappears between various boxes and Kysaek goes slowly to the selling bar, supports herself with her arms and her mouth is open a bit. At the wall are hanging Assault Rifles, Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, Grenade Launchers of many models: Avenger, Phaeston, Argus, Katana, Claymore, Mantis and much more, but Kysaek shakes her head.*"Stay realistic Elaine; this stuff looks bloody expensive." *crosses her mind, before an older man speaks to her. He is standing behind the bar now.* "Welcome. You have found the way to us and I am sure we have something which makes your heart leaps for joy." *The Asari coughs lightly, before she says.* "My funds are limited. I want to spend no more than 2000 Credits…so what I get for this?" *The man nods and grabs below the bar to put a moment later a simple Predator on the table.*

"An unmodified Predator; not brand-new, but for sure suitable. 400 Credits." *the man murmurs with a light coughing of his voice, before he grabs again below the bar to take out a Shuriken on the table.* "Light Submachine Gun, Model Shuriken; also not new, but suitable. 600 Credits." *The Asari nods to the words examining the goods. She thinks a bit for a while until she says.* "Two Predators and two Shuriken…and what do the Thermal Clips cost?" *She looks at the man, who replies to her: "Two Predators, Two Shurikens. In total 2000 Credits. For each Thermal Clip you need to pay 20 Credits, for Submachine Clips even 30 Credits." He nods again, whereupon Elaine murmurs: "Okay, then ten Pistol Clips and ten Shuriken Clips."Once again the confirmation of the man follows.* "Good, 2500 in total." *Thereupon Kysaek raises her arm and activates the modified Omni-Tool, as well like the man, who receives the Credits of Elaine, who has transferred them. A question follows by the man: "You have bought quite something; I don't think that you can carry all this. If you want, a legman could bring everything to the requested location." *But Elaine responds.* "Does this cost me more…?" *what gets replied by the man with a.* "No…who are we? We are Weapons Dealer, no sales reps or salesmen whose prices increases with time." *This leads to a roar of laughter by the Asari.* "Ehahahaha, okay, okay. Do you know the Express Company in the Refugee District over us?" *she asks and the man nods, which is why Kysaek adds.* "Then deliver it there as soon as possible." *She waves farewell as well like the man and the Asari turns around, hides her arms beneath the Poncho once again. She smirks lightly, while she thinks.* "Weapons from Aria? If this is a sign of the Goddess? ….Eh argh, I start with this once again. Don't calculate on invisible things Elaine, calculate on what you see and can grab…these weapons will be a great help; maybe you'll kick the ass of these gangsters as well and make clear to them your rank on the Citadel.", she makes a break shortly, before she finishes the thought.*"The Express Company is bought, the girls start to arrange themselves for it and there is even a vehicle, few replacement parts and now you organized some weapons Elaine…you have bigger potential than everyone thinks…or even you….yes, I'll show it everyone…."
