Chapter 4

First Contact Relay 314

~~~PREVIOUSLY~~~

Colony Vaeliv 2157 CE

With my information networks and Probes around Relay 314 showing signs of unknown craft and Turian activity I began to move. It's time to finally meet humanity. To think its been about two centuries since my reincarnation and seeing another human being.

Looking up from my terminal I looked at Shiala who I had just called into my office, "Prepare my ship and her escorts."

Shiala looked confused at my strict tone, "What is it Rayna?"

I sighed rubbing the bridge of my nose, "There is a first contact scenario on play and the Turians seem to want to start a war."

Shiala nodded before rushing out the door. Slowly I turned to look out my office window over my colony. The future events beginning to play out… I wished I had more time.

"Well here comes the creation of Cerberus."

~~~PRESENT~~~

I stood on the bridge of my Asari Cybaen Class Cruiser the Dawning light looking over the graphic display where a hologram of my mother was shown.

"Rayna please don't do this. We have a delegation forming as we speak. The Hierarchy won't get away with this."

"I'm sorry but I can't not while innocents are slaughtered." I shook my head sadly.

"You don't know that."

"Mother Desolas Arterius attacked and destroyed an entire flotilla without warning, But the worst part is that it is a first contact scenario."

Tevos lowered her head while a shaking fist to her chest, "We are sending a delegation we still have time."

I looked back towards the front of the bridge seeing the mass Relay 314 drawing near, "Mother I must do this before to many have died. Relations will be bad as it is but hopefully I can prevent the situation from getting worse."

"Rayna Please!" Tevos voice broke with worry.

"I"m sorry mother we're about to hit the relay. I'll contact you when I can."

"Rayna…" she tried again while I disconnect the line.

The holographic projection reverted to Show the space around us with markers for my Two Escort Frigates Vak'tyr class heading towards the relay.

I turned to Shiala who stepped up next to me, "Are you sure you want to do this Rayna?"

I closed my eyes while nodding, "Yes Shiala I need to do this. As it is there's going to be bad blood between the Hierarchy and hu… this new race."

Shiala nodded keeping eye contact with me, "What's the plan then?"

I nodded towards the forward bridge while beginning to walk, "First I plan to try a diplomatic approach when heading in system."

I looked at the glowing Mass Relay before turning to Shiala who had a skeptical look as she began to speak, "Hmm might work but, what do you think?"

"No it won't." I shook my head while pulling up my omni tool interface.

Shiala froze for a moment, "Then why?"

I sighed, "Following procedure so nothing comes back to bight us. Plus Desolas plans to gain a new client or protectorate race if you will. I also got word that some artifact with connections to the Temple of Palaven is involved somehow."

Shiala shook her head for a moment, "He wants to test it or something doesn't he?"

I nodded, "Along those lines."

Shiala looked out the view port again, "So what will we do then after diplomacy fails?"

"We Stall them the best we can while trying to get in contact with who ever this race is."

Shiala smiled, "could go either way and that's not counting if the turian fleet get's a little trigger happy. They do outnumber us with around 13 ships or so."

I gave Shiala a sad smile, "either way be prepared for a fight."

I looked over to my ships captain Sacara and nodded, "Take us through the Relay."

She only nodded back before giving orders, "prep for relay jump!"

As she continued I moved to the side out of the way for a moment finishing up my message before setting it to send when in range.

Walking back towards the center of the bridge I watched as the relay began to react. The rings begin to accelerate while the energy within brightened a bit more. As we drew closer a stream light reach out before the view changed to streaks of light for a breaf few moment's before returning to normal space.

"Set course for the Habited planet and the Turian fleet." I ordered while looking over the holographic display showing more and more information as my ships continued to scan the region. More and more planets and astral bodies(Planets, moons, star, etc.) began to form on the display.

As we flew further in system more information kept appearing most of which was not as important at the moment. Finally the information I needed came on display. The Turian fleet in orbit with one even firing a round at the surface. "keep the recording's as evidence with backups. Sacara jump us into orbit but with a decent distance between us and the turians."

I pressed a button on the display, "Ground Teem's prepare for Departure."

An Asari Technician turned from her and her partner salarians display, "Ma'am The Turian fleet is hailing us."

I nodded turning back to my display and activated the communications link on my terminal.

"Ah Desolas it's a..." I began to say.

"What are you doing here this is a Hierarchy operation?!" He growled with spittle flying from his mouth.

I paused for a moment in irritation.

Turian Flag Ship – Shanxi Orbit 2157 CE

Desolas growled as he watched another round fired at the surface having gotten annoyed by the amount of time it took to use Debris and what ever else they could use. This resistance was a thorn in his side that should have long since been put down.

A commotion soon drew his attention, "Sir a number of Asari Vessels have just appeared in system!"

Desolas slammed a fist down on the council looking over the officers shoulder, "It's to soon! We needed to gain control of these primativs and recover the artifact."

Walking back to his own display he noticed the hatch at the back of the bridge open as Tela Vasir walked in turning off her Omni tool.

Desolas stomped forward, "Do you know anything about this Vasir?!"

Vasir raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms, "Nothing to my knowledge though it seems the council has been alerted by the STG about the first contact situation."

Desolas turned around from her before moving back to where he was, "Hail them!"

Moments later an Asari he easily recognized appeared on the display and began to talk.

"Ah Desolas it's a..." The Asari Began.

"What are you doing here this is a Hierarchy operation?!" He growled with spittle flying from his mouth.

"I'm here to end the hostilities between you and the new species." she awnsered.

Desolas shook his head, "They have activated a relay against Citadel laws. We are only upholding the laws."

The Asari only glared at him, "Law's they have no knowledge of. This is first Contact with a new species as you well know!"

Desolas waved if off, "Semantics these primitives have broken the law's and they'll be punished for it. Besides What is a company CEO doing out here as a diplomat? Hmm."

Rayna paused for a moment, "I'm here to stop hostilities until the Citadels diplomatic team get's here within 48 hours."

Desolas smiled, "So you are trying to interfere with a Hierarchy operation while having no authority to back you. Why don't I just arrest you for interference under a Hierarchy and Citadel law."

Rayna Growled, "Desolas you have broken a number of Citadel laws already firing orbital bombardments, Killing a new species and their civilians..."

Desolas slammed his fist down stopping her, "None of that matters surrender or be fired upon!"

Rayna sighed, "This does not have to go..."

Desolas turned to the officer at the firing controls, "Target the Asari vessels."

Rayna Glarred, "If it's a fight you want then so be it."

The display turned off leaving Desolas frozen for a moment, "Follow them and get in range for proper firing solutions!"

Desoloas paused in giving orders looking back as Vasir, "Get this Specter off my Bridge and put her in a Cell."

The Guards began to move only to have two singularity's form While Vasir drew her SMG while running for the door.

Asari Cybean Cruiser – Shanxi Orbit 2157 CE

I closed my eye's for a moment while exhaling. "Sacara you have Command I'm heading for the Surface."

"As you wish. Prepare for..." Sacara continued to issue orders.

Heading out the door Shiala Followed only a step behind. Quickly heading to the Locker room I stripped out of my outfit and put on my armor. With minor help from Shiala I was ready in less then 3 minutes.

We quickly made our way down to the Hanger to the prepared shuttles and gunships. There were four Shuttles prepared and two gunships while there were two shuttles and a few fighters on standby. The Frigits had two shuttles and a gunship each prepared to launch as well.

I hopped into my Shuttle and sat down with shiala sitting next to me. Two more Asari sat across from us while three Turians, two Salarians and a female Quarien filled the rest of the seats. The rest of the shuttle had equipment and four folded up mechs.

Shiala Tapped the wall after closing the Hatch signaling that we were ready to take off. After a few minutes with the Hanger being cleared and the ships getting to the drop off point.

A moment later alarms went off as the hanger door opened and we flew out into space with Shanxi filing the few visible windows. After getting a short distance out The Turians began to fire upon my Cruiser and Escorts. Fighters soon followed with our own escort pealing off to confront them.

Asari – Shanxi Orbit 2157 CE

I double checked my armor making sure all the plates were secure and the weapons and tool harnesses were secure. The Armor was considered a medium weight in armor. This custom armor took as many features as I could fit without weakening it's armor and shielding to far. I even managed to fit in a tech armor generation projector. (Looks like a mix of mostly Variation of Tela Vasir and a bit of Liara's ME3's Alternate appearance armor)

The shuttle shook for a moment before shaking violently again. Holding on to the side of the shuttle for support I look out the window. The Larger vessels where shrinking into the distance while swarms of fighters exchanged fire some right on top of my group of Shuttles.

Listening to the radio I closed my eyes as my people and the Turian's shouted orders or screamed in their final moments.

"Get us down on the surface were sitting ducks up here." I growled while clenching my fist.

A number of fighters continued to follow us in while most broke off. After another close shot the flames from entering the atmosphere stopped as we leveled off.

Weaving back and forth dogging fire we drew closer to the ground an explosion went off shacking the shuttle. Looking out the window on of the Shuttles rapidly dropped with a trail of fire and debris.

"We're hit..."Static "Going down!" my radio blared.

"Shit!" Shiala Cursed.

Taking a moment I brought my omni tool up, "Shuttle's 6, 7 and Gunship 2 go down after shuttle 4. Rescue any survivors you find and retrieve what equipment you can."

"On our way!" a Asari responded as the two shuttles and a Gunship broke off formation.

Flying further down into a valley dodging around the Rock faces and the last few Turian fighters. Another Dodged shot hit a peak ahead of us causing us to split off.

We needed to either lose them or take them out before we lose anyone else.

Asari Cruiser Dawning light– Shanxi Orbit 2157 CE

Sacara watched as the Turian fleet drew closer their fighters exchanging fire here and there. Rayna and the shuttles have long since left for the surface. The Turians frigates could catch up to them easily while the rest of their fleet would take time while also working in smaller task force's.

Due to being outnumbered Sacara new they could never win in an upfront fight so instead they would have to use hit and run tactics while Supporting Rayna when they could.

"Target Sector Eights Frigates their getting to close." Sacara ordered.

"Fighter wing 5 are being overrun." Another Asari cried out.

Sacara turned to the Holographic Display, "Pull them back and have remaining members of the third wing reinforce them."

"Ma'am Frigate A'scara has taken damage... They have a haul breach!"

Sacara cursed to herself and the situation their in. 'Rayna, You ow me a drink after this.', "pull back the fighters and have them meet us near the Planets Moon. All vessels prepare for jump!"

Escape Pod – Shanxi Atmosphere 2157 CE

Tela Vasir had fought her way to the nearest Escape pod after the Desolas gave that blasted order. She probably could have taken the entire crew out but they most likely would have just locked her in a room and vented it before long.

The Escape pod launch was unexpected so they never had time to fire at her while Chasing Rayna's task force. The escape pod didn't even have a window so she kept her eyes closed and just waited for landing.

The descent thrusters worked perfectly but the impact was still rough. Taking a moment to gather herself she began unbuckling the harness. Pulling the lever to eject the hatch quickly jumped out while drawing out her SMG.

Looking around she had ended up in some fields near a forest edge with a settlement out in the distance.

"Just great..." she muttered to herself while pulling her omni tool up.

"Rayna you there?!" Called out over her radio.

"I'm here... 'Explosion' There goes the last one. Vasir What's your status?" Rayna's voice came over the radio if a little staticy.

"Oh just fine Desolas found me to be a problem... or just got board of my company so I had to take a pod down." Vasir said while jogging along the treeline to distance herself from the pod.

Rayna Laughed over the Radio, "Yeah he's not a very good conversationalist either. Do you need pick up?"

Vasir looked back over the settlement spotting a temporary base next to the settlment's tram rail station.

"That would be appreciated... Hold on a moment."Vasir quickly crouched down behind a tree for cover.

"What is it?!" Rayna Asked worriedly.

Vasir watched as some blue armored figures exited the forest while stealthily moving through the fields tall vegetation. There was eight of them in total with a few not wearing any helmets while all the armor seemed to have seen better days.

"They really do look like us!" Vasir said in shock not believing the Turians reports.

"Vasir What's going on?!" Rayna asked again

"There's some of those hu-humans I believe they call themselves. Just came out of the forest. It look's like they're heading for the Turian's forward operating base here." Vasir answered while continuing to watch the group work their way deeper into the field.

"Follow them but stay hidden and send the coordinates we'll be there when we can." Rayna ordered her voice becoming more commanding.

Vasir paused for a moment, "Fine but you better give me a raise."

Rayna sighed over the radio, "Fine Credits like usual or Information."

Vasir shook her head, "We'll work the details out later, Their getting farther away so I better move."

"Ok We're 20 minutes out, Be careful." Rayna said before she disconnected.

Alliance Squad – Shanxi 2157 CE

Tadius looked over the Birds base for a moment before looking back at his squad, "OK Men remember Stealth is key. We need to retrieve information on what the birds are up to. General Williams believes this forward operating base is the key."

Kahoku gripped his gun tighter, "We don't have enough ammo for this... I'm down to only a third of the ammo block."

Hacket slapped the back of Kahoku's head, "Stow it we've got a job to do."

Tadius nodded to Hacket before turning to Anderson, "Anderson you have point."

Anderson nodded while moving forward out of the wheat field gun at the ready. Moments later he came to a stop with his back to the compounds wall. Double checking for any of the aliens he signaled for the next member of his squad to move forward.

After a few minutes all of them were against the wall keeping out of the sight of the watchtowers. Kahoku and Hacket Together Helped to lift Andersen up onto the wall. He checked the surroundings before helping the rest over.

Sneaking into one of the old warehouses they worked their way deeper into the compound until they came to a courtyard.

Tadius leaned against the wall while looked out the window, "There's the target boys. One of the birds data modules."

Kahoku adjusted his grip on his rifle, "How many are there?"

Anderson looked out a moment before ducking back, "I count 6 out there." he said while lighting up targets to their huds from what he spotted.

Tadius thought for a moment, "Anderson You and Jacobs covers us from here. Hacket you and Fredrickson go after the auto turret controls hopefully the birds haven't messed with them to much. The rest of you are with me we're going for the Package."

Waiting a moment Tadius then singled his squad to move. They all quickly rushed out while Anderson and Jacobs laid down fire on the nearest Birds.

Jacobs growled, "Take some of this you alien scum!" while taking down a Turian's shields before its head exploded from the last round of his overheating rifle.

Anderson kept his shots in tight groupings and staggered shots to keep his gun from overheating.

Hacket made it to the nearest Turrets controls while Fredrickson ran across to the other controls. Activating the Turret took a moment as the rest of the squad took down half of the remaining Aliens.

Tadius reached the Module after finishing the last bird, "I've got the Package now fall..." A loud shot rang out as Fredricksons helmet faceplate shattered from a sniper round. "Back. SNIPER! GET DOWN!"

Everyone quickly moved to cover as Turians began to pore in from all the entrances and more snipers began to shoot down at the squad taking another marine out.

Tadius stayed behind a crate taking pot shots as the 6 remaining squad, "Shit this is delta squad calling for immediate evac. Repeat this is Delta squat calling for Immediate evac."

"Delta this is Williams we have third armor heading your way. ETA five minutes just hold on."

Hacket locked out of cover before taking another Turian out with his shotgun, "Anderson Cover me!"

Anderson looked over for a moment, "Wait!... Shit." Hopping up Anderson quickly fired his rifle into a group of Turians as Hacket ran for the other Turrets controls.

Hacket slid into cover as his shields gave out. Taking a moment for them to charge he sent suppressing fire over his crate. After the Gun cooled Hacket activated the remaining turret.

"ETA 4 minutes." Tadius shouted while pulling a injured Private back into cover.

With the combined fire They managed to push back the Turians for a few moments until the Turians brought out the first turret.

Kahoku growled, "Take them out before they get the other Turret."

Jacobs moved to assist Hacket with the turret only to be mowed down by a new wave of troops from the Warehouse door. A turian on an upper level finished off the last turret moments later.

Anderson dropped into cover, "Shit, They got Jacob!"

They only had Three minutes left to hold with only half their squad left...

"Friendly's inbound!" A female voice blared over their radio's open comms.

Barely a moment later figures hopped down from the other side of the two bridges firing into the Turians while another appeared in a biotic explosion in the on the Snipers upper level.
