Max Shepard Cont.
Today Max decided to head to Feros and check out the reports of Geth in the area. When they landed she decided that Kaidan may need a break from her wild style of fighting, so she took Ashley and Garrus with her this time. They were met by a man who claimed that Fai Dan wanted to speak to her. Of course that is when the Geth attacked, they never just wait for a simple conversation to be over do they. Lucky for her they make quick work of these synthetics and find the colony.
The people there are acting very strange. She looks around and finally Fia Dan is found, they talk about what has been going on and she agrees to help with the Geth. Might as well until they are taken care of she cannot really find out what they are doing here. She clears the tower at which point Garrus thought it would be amusing to dance on her head

Not amused she moved out of his way so he could take cover.
She checked the tunnels why she was already out there and cleared many more Geth. Turning the water back on and killing the veran just seemed like the right thing to do to help out the colonist. She also found some power cells and decided to take them back with her. Fia Dan was happy that the Geth where cleared out but not the women who was with him. Attitude is all Max would get from her, she was used to this kind of behavior, for some reason almost everyone she meets gives her attitude including some of her own crew.
Garrus and Ashley tell her it is time to head to the Exo Geni head quarters sense that is where the Geth have decided to camp out. Along the sky way they find some Exo Geni workers hiding out. This guy Jeong is very nervous but Max pushed that to the back of her mind and gathers information that she needs to complete her mission. She also agreed to help a man named Hossel by finding his data still in the headquaters.
They find there way into a back part of Exo Geni when a young women named Lizbeth shot at them, how the hell she though Max was a Geth or Veran is up to the imagination. Lizbeth gives her a little more information before handing over her ID and the team makes their way into Exo Geni. They find more Geth inside and see that the Geth have attached their ship to the side of the building. That is not a hard thing to knock off more like just removing the sticky fly paper. Wit the Geth destroyed and Hossels data found they head back out to the Mako. Max is glad she did not bring Kaidan for this trip, she was getting tired of the grunts back on the Normandy having to clean it out from his weak stomach. She loves doing flips and flying off strange places and making really fast turns

They make it back to the Exo Geni workers hide out when Lizbeth of course gives them away by yelling at a man with a gun to get his hands off her mother. What did she think she was gonna do seriously. Max understands that its the girls mom but still running at him unarmed and stupid wont save either of them. By this time Jeong is now really froggy and Max shots him. If he is gonna jump at her she will take him down with no regrets.
After talking to Juliana and getting the nerve gas for the grenades they head back to the colony to find the Thorian, some strange plant that is under the colonist protection, How bad it could really be? They safely knock out all colonist and dispose of the creepy crawlers that leave green sludge all over her new outfit (damn it!!) Fai Dan at least stopped himself from attacking and she was not forced to put him down.
Ashley and Garrus headed down the tunnel and Max followed they were looking for a plant what they found was something a whole lot bigger. An Asari came out of it slob covered tentacle mouth and threatened them. Of course this does not go over very well for this Thorian creature. It did not take long before he/ she or even it was gone. And that is when Shiala appeared and gave Max all the information she needed about the Thorian and what Saren was doing on Feros. She offered to give Max the same cipher that she also gave to Saren. Max felt that even though she did work for Saren that she was genuine in wanting to redeem herself, so she was allowed to live and help the colonist rebuild.
Back on the Normandy Liara melds her mind to Max to see if they can get a better understanding of what the visions mean. With no luck of new information Max calls the council to give them an update. As always the Turian councilor believes that she is out to only help humanity, if the colonist where any other species she would have helped them as well, no amount of her banging her own head against a wall will help them see her as anything other than a human who bullied her way into the specters. One day she will prove them wrong. The Salarian councilor worries that she will not be able to make sacrifices when needed like a specter has to do at times
maybe i should sacrifice you she thought as he talked. They also informed her of a new prospect of information on Virmire.
Max headed to the Citadel to gather some new items and turn over some information she had been asked to gather earlier in her travels. A smug Admiral was waiting for her but she is still alliance so she gave him the respect his rank called for. She had to "convince" him that the Normandy is a good ship personally she could care less what he though of the Normandy its her ship and if he doesn't like he can go blow someone higher up to try and get rid of it.
She also had an interview with a nosy reporter. It turned out well enough and dear lord will everyone (Ashley included) stop complaining about the "secret specs" of the Normandy being handed over to the Turian's. THEY HELPED DESIGN IT OF COURSE THEY HAVE THE DAMN SPECS!
this is where she will rest for now. Will do a lot of Citadel mission later on.
