Kes'par walked along the open terrace of the newly built Central Command Center. This was the first proper Tau building the Earth Caste had produced. The structure was very reminiscent of that of their collective home world of T'au. Having been born and raised there, he knew what it truly looked like. He looked out on to the sandy dunes that spread across the horizon, this new reality held a challenge, but so did the old. He continued to walk across the stone tile path until he saw Reshith leaning over the terrace railing. She wasn't looking to the dessert a he had been but toward the sky. It was only natural, the Air caste very rarely lived on planets but instead they lived in space stations. While the Air caste may have begun as the first of the Tau people to master the skies, it was the void where they found their true home.
"Feeling a bit home sick Kor'El?" Kes'par said in their natural language as he leaned back against the railing with his arms across his chest.
"Shas'El, perhaps…" Reshith stopped talking when she looked up and remembered the severe height difference. The scowl on her face showed her displeasure at this. "Though to be honest it's more out of loneliness. His grace has yet to unfreeze any of the Air Caste."
"The Earth Caste says that planet infrastructure is the highest priority."
"Tch." Reshith was not happy about that at all, at the moment the Earth Caste was filling out the space between the ring and the colony ship with the proper structures such has housing and everything else a city needs to function. But that didn't mean that she couldn't be upset that they were taking their sweat time to do it. "Everything has to be so perfect with them."
"Yes but it is that perfectionism that has brought us as far as we have gotten."
"They could work a little faster." Reshith grumbled. Just as Kes'par was about to leave Reshith decided ask something a bit dangerous. "Why do you think Aun'El hasn't awoken the rest of the Ethereal Caste?" There was a tense silence that followed that question.
"Are you question his wisdom?"
"Certainly not, I just cannot yet see the wisdom… I know it is there but I just don't understand it." Kes'par looked the smaller Tau over for any sign that could prove to be fatal even for such a high ranking member of the Air Caste.
"Lord Aun'El knows what he is doing, he understands that the situation is not as many expected. To unfreeze them now would cause discourse and madness within the ranks. Lord Aun'El will unfreeze the Ethereal caste once he deems it is time or perhaps he might release a few at a time. But whatever he chooses to do he does it because he knows it to be right."
"That was never in question."
Shepard paced back and forth in the meeting room of the Normandy. They had been successful in returning to the Normandy with Garrus fairly stable thanks to Alicia. Shepard now was waiting for confirmation that Garrus was no longer in a life threating state. Shepard stopped pacing as she turned to opening door and watched as Jacob walk in.
"Well… how's he doing?" Shepard said trying to sound more confident than she really was. Jacob sighed and walked over to table to lean back on it.
"We've done what we could for Garrus, but he took a bad hit. The docs corrected with surgical procedures and some cybernetics. Best we can tell, he'll have full functionality but…" At that the door opened and Garrus walked in to view, the right side of his face was covered by gray padding that most likely covered the cybernetics. "Tough son of a bitch. Didn't think he'd be up yet."
"Nobody would give me a mirror. How bad is it?" Garrus asked as he walked in.
"Hell, Garrus, you were always ugly. Slap some face-paint on there, and no one will even notice. I might even give you a kiss." Shepard joked causing Garrus to laugh hard enough to make his mandibles twitch.
"Ha ah! Don't make me laugh, damn it. My face is barely holding together as it is. Ah, probably for the best. Everyone was always ignoring you and hitting on me. Time for you to get a fair shot at it." Shepard just shook her head before Jacob gave a salute before leaving the two. "Before we get in to that…" Garrus pointed back after the door closed behind Jacob. "… We have to talk about your new friends."
"Yeah…" Shepard said rubbing the back of her neck. "… them. What about you, you had this… Dorn guy."
"I always thought he just was hung up on his father's fairy tales. You can't expect me to believe the things he told me about."
"Well it's all true, so says the god in my head." Shepard looked back Garrus expecting a look of shock and disbelief but he just continued to look at her the same way as before.
"You see what you've do to me, I now take statements like that as normal." Garrus half joked. "But all the Imperium crazy aside, how are you holding up Shepard. I mean when I woke up and saw the Cerberus logos on the wall it took Chakwas to do her death stare to get me to calm down. Cerberus Shepard? I'm sure you haven't forgotten what they did to Admiral Kahoku." Shepard winced at the memory of what Cerberus did to the Rear Admiral who only really want to find his lost troops.
"Yes, I remember. But right now we're going to have to deal with them, just think of them as a necessary evil. We need the resources to do what we need to do."
"Stopping the Collectors, right."
"Come on Garrus, if I'm walking in to hell I want people I can trust by my side."
"You realize that means I'm walking in hell too… heh just like old times. I'm fit for duty whenever you need me, Shepard. I'll settle in and see what I can do at the forward batteries." Garrus gave a slight nod and then walked out of the room. Shepard sighed, she now had to deal with the other new members of her crew, the Asari called Alicia had already set up in the med-bay with the doctor. The human called Rogal Dorn was currently waiting in the starboard observation deck, the door had to be locked to keep him waiting.
"EDI, call Beskis and tell him to meet me at the Door to Dorn." Shepard joked.
The Shadow Broker's eyes watched the footage come on to his screen. His finger twitched at the keyboard, he didn't know what to do with this new information. On the screen he saw what he thought was the deceased commander Shepard fighting a coalition of mercs alongside the vigilante Archangel who turned out to be her old comrade in arms Garrus Vakarian. The Shadow Broker leaned back in his chair. This was something that he had not expected. He had known about Cerberus' interest in her but he had never imagined that they could have brought her back from the dead. He sat there think of the various way this could possibly affect him.
"This is going to be a problem." He grumbled as he turned back to another screen. "Agent Abraxes, report in."
"Agent Abraxes reporting in." The screen flipped to a blacked out figure even though the Shadow Broker knew what each and every one of his agents looked like.
"I'm reassigning you to a priority one mission, I'm sending you a data package, you are to follow the instructions within it."
"At once Shadow Broker." The screen flipped back to a screen of data. The Shadow Broker turned back to his main terminal.
Shepard stood beside Beskis in front of the starboard observation deck.
"Did you really have to lock him in there?" Shepard asked Beskis.
"He wouldn't stop asking me questions." Beskis replied bluntly.
"Ah… well, we have a few question for him so you're going to need to answer a few of his."
"Very well." Beskis groaned, he didn't mind answering question about the Imperium what irked him was the rate at which the man asked them. The door opened and the two found Rogal laying back on one of the couches.
"Oh hey guys!" Rogal excitedly said as he stood back up and rushed over to the pair. But before he could talk Shepard raised a hand to shush him.
"This is how we're going to play this, you're going to ask One question and then he will answer then I will ask a question and you will answer. Got it?" Dorn nodded but was still very excited. "Good now ask a question."
"Okay… What was my namesake like?" Rogal asked. Beskis sighed, this was one of the many of his earlier questions and the one he asked the most.
"According to the scriptures and legends Rogal Dorn, the Primarch of the Imperial Fist legion. He is known far and wide as the greatest man to ever design any form of fortifications. It was his plans that made the Imperial Palace, a place with the greatest defenses that the galaxy seen. He was also known for his stubbornness and unwavering loyalty. But also of his unflinching honesty." Shepard was surprised by this description, that wasn't at all like the young man that held the same name. Shepard looked back at Rogal and to say he was disappointed would be an understatement.
"He sounds like a stick in the mud." Rogal grumbled.
"It's our turn…" Shepard said trying to get back to their plan. "Exactly how do know about the Imperium's reality?"
"My dad was from there. He was a serf of the Shining Eyes Chapter and he rallied and lead the population of the their chapter planet into turning the tide against a invading traitor force. As a reward the Emperor put him here in this galaxy. He met my mom and then had me and he told me all kinds of things. And then mom died… and he got sad… but then he met Alicia's mom and was happy again."
"Wait. Are you saying that you and the Asari are siblings?" Beskis asked, he had a little trouble picturing a hero of the Imperium having relations with a Xeno, but from what Rogal said it would appear that the man had fallen in to a depression. Sho would likely say that the Xeno took advantage but Beskis knew better.
"Yeah, Alicia is my sister… half sister. But she really nice! This one time I had fallen from a tree and she helped me pop my shoulder back in and then made me a sandwich to get me to stop crying, I wasn't really crying that much but it really hurt… like a lot. The only time I ever felt that much pain was when dad took me on my first car ride and I was messing with the…'
"Okay! That's Enough!" Shepard and Beskis both demanded. Rogal just gave back a expected blank stare, like he was waiting for them.
"Your turn… and keep. It. Short." Shepard groaned.
"Okay…" Rogal took a deep breath. "I've always wanted to ask this but dad just groaned. What is Recaf? Every time dad had coffee of soda he was have this look in his eye and always say something like… damn better than that Recaf shit."
"Okay!" Beskis said trying to stop the rambling. "Recaf is a common drink in the Imperium, it is like Coffee and Coffee certainly has a much better taste but Recaf is stronger and far cheaper."
"Ohhhhhhh… that makes sense."
"Waste of a turn if you ask me." Beskis said his face in his hand. "Shepard I think I can take it from here. He's calmed down, I'll tell the machine spirit if I require your assistance."
"Sure… I'm going to see to that Ast-ro-path?" Shepard said unsure if she pronounced it right.
"You're getting better, I think I can get you reciting the litanies in high gothic by the time we're standing on the rotting corpse of a reaper."
"Sure whatever…" Shepard said with a wave after turning to the med-bay. Before she entered the med-bay however she was stopped by Gesgina.
"Before you see him, know that he might say some… well you'll see."
"What's going on?" Shepard asked, this man was supposed to be a psychic so she wanted to be as informed as possible.
"Just know that the God Emperor trust you." Gesgina nodded before opening the door and led Shepard to the blinded man in the back, Shepard noted that Gesgina was trying to subtly avoid his eyes or to be more accurate the spots where his eyes used to be. Shepard walked up to the man, he looked like he was slightly dazed, his head wandered and couldn't focus and that stopped when he looked at Shepard.
"So bright… his warmth… it is in you. And your soul it is marked for something great… so warm…" His hand brushed Shepard's cheek. "You worry… you're unsure of many things. Just know that your soul is pure and chosen for great things and those around you shall follow in your greatness." The Astropath returned to his daze.
"What did you give him?" Shepard said with an eye raised.
"Mild sedatives, he needs them or he'll start wandering around and telling people what their soul looks like." Gesgina said hiding behind Shepard.
"So that part isn't bullshit." Shepard said while thinking over what the man said.
"Not at all, apparently he can see into people souls, he said some pretty nice things about the doctor and… call the XO cold and isolated."
"Well… that's sounds right as bad as it sounds for Miranda. But is it really necessary to keep him drugged?"
"Oh yeah… the pitiable fool caused three fights and almost caused a nervous breakdown."
"I see, best for everyone… and it's not like he's complaining… right?"
"No, this his idea."
"Very well, How's the new girl doing?"
"The alien is capable, she has assisted the doctor well despite not speaking. Though I personally feel that is a good trait in an Alien." Gesgina said then walked away before Shepard could glare.
"That's everything from the last mission, EDI, inform Sho, Jacob, Zaeed, and Miranda and tell them to meet me in the meeting room."
"At once Shepard."
Thenvas looked through his scope, he was currently hidden among the flora of Zorya. He had spent the last few days lining up the best shot. He had watched his mark daily routes.
"Truly this galaxy lacks true game. This Vido doesn't take any but the most basic defense and preparation." Thenvas thought as he waited for the mark to his scope. Thenvas waited, and in a second took his shots, firing one to nearby tank of this galaxy's version of promethium to destroy those irritating kinetic barriers. Then the next to the neck, cutting the brain to the spine killing the mark instantly.
Thenvas sighed through his mask, he had completed his mission. And now would wait for pick up.
Shepard watched as Sho walked in to the meeting room, he was the last to arrive.
"Right now that your all here we can start the briefing. Our mission is to retrieve Doctor Mordin Solus. A Salarian Doctor and former STG, the Illusive Man seems to think he might be able to deal with the Collector's paralyzing tech. for what Aria told us he's working on curing a plague in one of the Omega blocks. Through data mining and info gathered on the street the plague seems to affect everyone but humans."
"A plague that kills everything but humans, sounds like a gift from the God Emperor."
"He might disagree with that." Shepard smirked at Sho's glare. "Anyways, Garrus will be sitting this out due to the plague's nature and he needs time with the guns, something about calibrating. Beskis and his bodyguard will be here to keep Rogal under control and help him and Alicia get settled in. Rogon will be helping Gabby and Kenneth with the Normandy's internal workings. That leaves you guys, our mission is to bring back the Doctor, this will most likely end with us curing the plague, I highly doubt that he will willing leave these people to their fate. Your all dismissed for now, get ready for the mission." At that everyone but Miranda and Shepard left the room.
"Shepard, I have news from the Illusive Man."
"You told him about our new friends?"
"Most of it, I left out the god in your mind, the new species, and the man who can see souls."
"Thanks for that."
"I know you don't trust him Shepard, but all he wants is to help humanity. As for why I did it, I felt that it was all to ridiculous to put in one report. There's no way to prove that you actually have a Human God in your mind and the man that can see our souls is one person. As for the new Aliens, the one called Koith is also just a singularity and the Tau… I agree with you on how they should introduce themselves to the galaxy and I feel the Illusive man might disagree."
"So what does he think about what you did tell him?" Shepard asked, The Illusive was still something of a strange question to her. On one hand he had brought he back to life and on the other… he was in charge of Cerberus, a group not well known for their civil actions.
"Honestly I don't know, I could tell he felt disappointed that we lost the Traveler's Luck but other that I have no clue about his feelings on it. At most I think he might be interested in Beskis' Imperium and Rogon's implants."
"I'm not surprised he's interested in the idea of a human centric galactic state. I'm sure that… he… would fit…" Shepard stopped at the sight of time once again slowing down.
"This Illusive Man would certainly fit in with my Imperium." The Emperor said as he walked past Shepard and in to her field of view. "He would do well in the Inquisition." The Emperor's voice was more sad than affirming.
"I take it you're not found of them?"
"My views on this topic are… conflicted. But that is not what I have come to speak to you about. After you acquire the Doctor, return to the seat of power in this Galaxy. You must not put them off any more."
"The Council… yeah. Is it possible that I might be able to avoid all that?" Shepard asked sweetly but she knew the answer and the glare she got back was it. "Right. But why now?"
"An opportunity is about to open itself up to you that will become invaluable, one that I had a hand in setting in motion. Although it is born from my failures, I'm hoping that you might be able to help in correcting them." Before Shepard could asked any further questions the Emperor vanished and was replaced by a slightly confused Miranda.
"Is something wrong Shepard, you looked lost for a moment?"
"No, it's nothing. Big E wanted another of his chats." This was returned by a soft laugh from Miranda.
"If I didn't know better Shepard I'd worry about your mental health." Miranda said jokingly before leaving the room to a ticked of Shepard.
The World of Gue'la, South eastern continent, Jungles of Ves'quelen.
Five Tau Fire Warriors wait around a camp fire while waiting for their relief patrol to arrive. Three sit at fire, one is checking over his rifle another is standing guard. Their sergeant currently mediating on the news she had heard from the Fire Caste commander.
"So you hear the rumors going around lately?" One of the Tau at the fire started, speaking in their own language. "About what happened on the trip here."
"No, I just woke up before this patrol. I haven't made it to the training yard or barracks yet."
"I think I have, your talking about how the humans brought us to another galaxy entirely rather than the agreed location."
"No, from what I heard is that we're in another reality all together."
"What?!"
"Your joking right?"
"No I swear, I heard it from someone that was on guard duty in the Earth Caste command chambers and he heard the Lord Ethereal speak of it."
"Well if the Lord Ethereal believes it to be so this it must be true."
"Wait, what if the humans lied?"
"Are you saying that the Lord Ethereal could be fooled?" The looked at the accused soldier with a look of disgust with the other doing the same.
"Not at all, I'm saying… umm… well the Lord Ethereal would certainly know the deceit but… umm…" The Tau tried to dig his way out of the mess he had made but the looks didn't fade.
"What the Lord Ethereal said is truth." The Tau sergeant said standing over her squad. "And Ho'ven is not to be faulted, he knows this to be true and was merely trying to deny the harsh truth. This is news that could even shake an Ethereal's will if but for a moment." The three looked down at the fire in contemplation over their leader's words.
"It is big news… maybe that's why the Lord Aun'El hasn't woken the rest of the Ethereal Caste."
"I could not think of any other reason."
Shepard walked through the streets of Omega, while keeping a focused eye on Sho. When they had entered the station it had taken three whole beatings to get Sho to shut up, they even had to call in Rogon who threatened to turn him into something called a servitor. Shepard breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the preacher from the other day was gone.
"Complaining is pointless human. There's a plague. Nobody gets in or out." Shepard and her squad walked up to the arguing human and Turian.
"You can't kick me out I live in there!"
"This plague is killing everyone that gets in contact with it, I don't care if your human. Nobody gets in until the plague has run its course."
"So you're saying the slums are completely sealed off?" Shepard asked.
"Finally, a human that can hear. Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying." The turain said, his irritated tone lessening but not by much.
"You can't keep me out, the looters are going to take all my stuff."
"I'm doing you a favor human. Anybody in the quarantine zone will be dead from the plague or the gangs in a few weeks." Sho's fist tightened, who could believe what he was seeing, a damnable Xeno piece of trash ordering a human around. Every fiber of his being wanted to cut the vile Xeno in half. Shepard caught some of the anger coming off Sho and with a sharp look back ended the man's move to his sword.
"It must take some damn strong pull to organize something like this, Aria right?" Zaeed remarked.
"That's right, She's got little blue hands on every business in this district… and plague is bad for business. She hired us to keep Anyone… from going In or Out of the quarantine zone."
"Well I'm going in, there's a Salarian named Mordin Solus in the slum, I've got to go in there to find him."
"The doctor? Crazy bastard opened a clinic in the distric a few months ago. The Blue Suns weren't too happy when he moved in." The turain said while pacing. "I hear Mordin's trying to deal with the plague. I wish him luck but the area is still locked down. Our orders are to wait until wither the plague or the Blue Suns kill everyone, then go in and clean up."
"Then the answer is simple." Sho said from the back of the group. "We hurry this up and kill all the inhabitances of this Hab Block and be done with it. Plagues can spread without hosts, or at the very least they're easier to clean up."
"Kid has a point…" The turain said reluctantly. "And you guys certainly look like you could get the job done."
"What?! Your letting them in but not me? You son of a bitch."
"You don't have a grenade launcher, lady, get lost." The ticked off woman huffed past Shepard's squad.
"What got her so angry, she gets to live." Zaeed joked but from the look on Sho's face he didn't take it as one.
"All right I called it in, the guards will let you in." The turain said before returning to his post.
"So what's the plan commander." Jacob asked.
"We go in and kill anything that fires back, if we find any infected we'll help if we can but our mission is to retrieve the doctor. As I said before Mordin will most likely not come until the plague has been dealt with." Shepard said before walking towards the door to the slums.
Beskis was laying back on his bank, he personal missed the firmness that only a military cot could give. He stared at the metal ceiling, unsure of a few things he had heard and read. His glare was more focused on the recent mention of the Blood Angels. He had looked up the so called Blood Angels on the Extranet, they bore a passing resemblance to the venerated Astartes chapter and former Legion.
The Blood Angels in this reality were a mercenary band that has carved out a small empire in the northern galaxy, bordering on the Citadel Space and the lawlessness of the Terminus Systems. They held the planets and systems through secondary means that took a seasoned eye to see. Any politician worth their own tongue could see what it was but at the same time there was no clear truth to it. It was a truly… pretty thing to see. A flawless master piece of guile and back channel contacts.
Beskis almost came to calling it a true hair to the chapter, but then he looked at the surface. His Rogue Trader background had taught him to look under the surface first but his time as a soldier had also taught him to look at things at face value. A ork is just ork, it's a common saying in the upper command of the Guard. And it holds true most of the time. What he saw on the Blood Angel's Extranet page crashed any dream he had for seeing Astartes once again. they were mortal men, clad in colors of their namesake. Nothing more.
But then he saw their leader, he called himself Sanguinius. This had brought a bit of hope back, The Emperor would never gift a man with this reality that would commit such a blasphemous act as to call themselves that. It might be possible that the Emperor sent his son her in an effort to save him from death and he somehow survived to create a mirror of his sons. But had been unable to produce true gene sons for some reason. And had chosen to simply have mortal men serve. The reviews of the Blood Angels performance certainly supported this, well disciplined and effective. Well known for keeping their noses clean and only ever getting involved with other gangs when they declare war on them, always ending in a win for the Blood Angels but they never finish off the opposing side or taking any true rewards for the action.
This plan to Beskis was something of true brilliance, this plan kept the other gangs at the same level while allowing the Blood Angels to grow, no gang would want to go to war with them after being so massively over powered and as such leave them alone. This allowed for the rise of the Five Great Powers of the Underworld, that was the name given by the galactic media to the Blue Suns, Blood Pack, Eclipse, Blood Angels, and the current ruler of Omega Aria T'loak.
Beskis looked down to his Omni-Tool, he had an appointment with the leader of the Blood Angels in three months.
Shepard stared down the hallway, it was Mordin's clinic. The mechs outside watched her. She signaled to the rest of her to come out with her. the human guards nodded back to their mechs as to say don't cause trouble. Shepard and her squad walked through the door to the inside of the clinic. Inside were dozens of sick aliens and a few human trying to help them. The receptionist quickly told where Mordin was.
"… on hand. Almost as good. Causes cramping in Batarians. Supplement with butemerol." A slightly high and quick voice came from inside the next room to Shepard. A doctor quickly responded to the voice. "Cenozine is the catalyst. Bonds to genetic marker. Hard to find. Expensive to mass produce. Why not heplacore? Too unstable. Inconsistent results. Demozane better option. No. Demozane toxic to humans. Not an option. Not an option." At that Shepard walked in to the room.
"Professor Mordin Solus?" Shepard asked, the Salarian walked over and after a quick scan looked back up to Shepard.
"Hmm, don't recognize you from area. Too well-armed to be refugees. No mercenary uniform. Quarantine still in effect. Here for something else. Vorcha? Crew to cleam them out? Unlikly. Vorcha a symptom, not a cause. The plague? Investigating possible use as Bio-weapon? No. Too many guns, not enough data equipment. Soldiers, Not scientists. Yes. Yes. Yes."
"I'm commander Shepard, why don't you take a breath." Shepard asked as nicely as she could, she needed him but having another rambler on her ship was not something she liked. But at least this one stay on topic. "I'm here on a mission."
"Mission? What mission? No. too busy. Clinic understaffed. Plague spreading too fast. Who sent you?"
"Three headed dog with a bad attitude."
"Cerberus sent you, unexpected."
"You're very well informed. Where'd you here about Cerberus?"
"Likely from his time in the STG." Miranda answered.
"Correct, we crossed paths during time in STG. But was under the impression they only worked with humans. Why request Salarian aid?"
"Well… your smart… like top shelf smart. And I need your help taking down the collectors… and…" Miranda and Sho both raised an eyebrow at this, they hadn't been made aware that Shepard might need the Salarian for another reason. "… there are a few other things that I need looked in to that require someone like you." The Salarian Doctor thought over Shepard's word for a second.
"Collectors one of few groups with technology to design plague of this level. Most probable culprits. Though interested in other reasons too."
"Two words, inter-reality travel." This made the Salarian think for a full thirty seconds.
"Inter-reality travel? Suggests contact with beings or elements from other realties. Would normally ignore as ravings of mad woman but facial expression and body language confirms she is serious and unlikely the commander Shepard would have the backing of Cerberus is mentally unfit. No. No. No. Data suggests she is telling the truth, also need to take in to consideration that this is Shepard. What could see have come in to contact with… her companion. His uniform is not used in the Alliance nor know mercenary band. Iconography similar to the Blood Angels but more gothic and far more practical. Blood Angels origins often shrouded in mystery to both human and anyone looking in to them. Possible connecti…" At that moment the vents began to stutter and shut down. "Vorcha trying to shut down environmental systems. Trying to kill everyone. Need to get power back on before district suffocates. Have cure ready, just need to distribute it at environmental control center after turning back the power on." Mordian walked over to his lab table and grabbed a small vile and heavy pistol. "Here take cure. Also, bonus in good faith. Weapon from dead Blue Suns mercs. May come in handy against Vorcha." Shepard took the gun and nodded to the rest of her squad.
Author's Notes.
Sorry about the long wait and lack of Action in this chapter. Next chapter w'ell get Jack and I will bring the action with her. we'll also see the council and I'm not going to bash them like so many others do. I will admit that they were very stupid in ignoring Shepard but people are stupid when scared, and the very idea of the reapers is terrifying.
