"Three floors, eh? Sounds like a place for...screwing around, we'll say." Vanguard Shep replied, as Val's kid runs to her, latching on to her leg.
"Mommy...what does 'screwing around' mean?" She asks, with Val giving a somewhat embarrassed look.
"You'll learn it in school, kid." She replies, smiling (Val giving a dirty look in response.)
"Then...I guess we'll move. Personally, I'm already starting to like this Shepard." Riley responds, smiling under her helmet, as they left the Deimos, Merrick coming into the place with a puzzled look.

Glitch lit up the Husks that came at her, taking a step back
-
The Husks wen down fairly easily on both sides. "Damn it...what the f*** are those things?!" Val had yelled, Cryark still having a horrified look on his face. Riley seemed to be in a...happy mood from killing them, whispering something about 'being Commander Shepard' to herself. As Vanguard Shep and Cheryl killed the last Husk with a dual Shotgun- Warp type move, they moved to the Quarian Reaper, who tried to use the drones as some type of advanced shielding. "I got this!" Shepard replied, using her biotic charge to try and kill the Quarian Reaper. Instead, the shield seemed to bounce her biotic charge, throwing Vanguard Shepard right on top of Cheryl and Cryark, who both tumbled away. The Quarian Reaper was about to yell out that piercing shriek again until it got blasted in its head, the head turning into small goops of Reaper goo. A Geth Prime shot it, a stolen [url=http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/masseffect/images/e/e0/ME3_Eviscerator_Shotgun.png/revision/latest?cb=20120317200519]M-22 Eviscerator[/url] in its one hand. "Peacekeeper?" Val asked, approaching the Prime. The Prime looked down...and had twisted its one eye, proceeding to scan everyone...including Glitch and the tumbled three. It looked down at Val, before lowering its gun. "Hong-Lieutenant, Tallios-Turian...it is good to see allied forces come so soon." Peacekeeper responded.
-
"Peacekeeper? I don't remember hacking you..." Glitch commented. "You must be part of the geth fleet."
-
"Correct. Our fleet had received a distress signal from Creator Vael. We had come in hopes of helping them. Only Quarian student Lia'Vael vor Nashket survived the encounter with the Old Machines." It said drooping its head for a second before moving it back up. "Question: It is said that you hacked some of our species, Glitch-Hacker? Do NOT tell Creator Xen; she will try to revert us back to our original slave forms should you tell her. " Peacekeeper had warned, before turning its head to Vanguard Shepard and Cheryl, the Geth Prime pointing his shotgun to them. "Enemy Cerberus presence detected." It simply responded, Val lowering the guns. "They're friendly, Peacekeeper. Don't kill them." The two ex-Cerberus operatives and Peacekeeper stared at each their for a little longer, before he puts his weapon away. "Affirmative. Will warrant caution, however." It responded. "Come; we must provide escort to Creator Vael."
-
"Ship's not to far away from here. Should I call in some Geth reinforcements?" Glitch asked the group collectively
-
"I would not like to risk potential allies of my own kind. I fear they, along with the Quarians, will face indoctrination by the Old Machines." Peacekeeper had responded, pushing the button on the elevator, sending the group up. "However, if necessary, you may send them." [spoiler]-Send the reinforcements (????) -Don't send the reinforcements(????)[/spoiler] The comm cut through. "Hello? Anyone on this frequency? In Victus, can you hear us?" The turian dreadnought from before asked.
-
"Yes, this is Invictus Crew Member Glitch and allies. We read you, Dreadnought." Glitch said into the comms, as a holographic image appeared in front of her from her Cybernetic eye
-
Edited by A Stormy Dio: 4/21/2017 12:49:11 AM"Invictus, we're sending Turian Blackwatch teams in your direction, but we CANNOT get you out of there. Our forces are engaged with Harvesters, and I can't get Turian Wing Artemic on the line." The turian responded. [spoiler]Paragon Action: Belay that Order. Neutral Action: Let the turian's come in and support. Renegade Action: Threaten the turian to send everyone down there.[/spoiler]
-
"Do not send troops, I repeat do not send troops. Our ship is on planet, we'll be able to extract easily and we have enough troops to last. Just keep those harvesters off of us."
-
"Yes, Invictus. Victus is willing to give full turian support to your war efforts, along with any other war you may be having. Terevus, out." The turian stopped communication, as the elevator stopped moving, revealing a dimly lit hallway full of dead corpses of various species. A Geth turret blocked a smaller door, for which Peacekeeper hacked into.
-
"We'll wait here for a moment. We're waiting on someone." Glitch said to the group, taking up a defensive position while she waited
-
Everyone else took a defensive position...well, except Vanguard Shep, who simply opened up her Omni-tool, browsing the extranet. "Another 2 minutes until we may proceed." Peacekeeper stated.
-
A few minutes after, specifically two minutes, the elevator doors opened and out stepped Talath. His red eyes looked around the group for a quick moment before he begun walking "Why do you wait?" He asked, as Glitch got to her feet and quickly followed behind him
-
"We are in. I have advised all Geth personnel to lower their weapons. Creator Vael would like to speak with you." The Prime had replied, the door opening. At least 30 or so Geth laid around the place, whether it was fixing one another or checking whether they have enough ammo in there weapons or not. In the back of the room, a massive shield was on, a Quarian typing into a small console nearby. "Creator Vael." Peacekeeper had said, the Quarian turning around. She had a teal enviro-suit on, her mask still on her. She looks to the group with a small hint of shock. "Deimos and Invictus crew, right?" She asks.
-
"That is correct." Glitch said, glancing at the creator
-
"Call me Lia. The Geth here seem to not get that they don't have to call me creator." She says, turning to the console. "How long have you been here with the Reapers and all? " Val asked, touching the shield separating them from Lia. "About a few months... I was taking a semester here; then these 'husks' came over from I don't know where, and so...I've been here. The Geth here lost some of their fleet...but they've been kind to me." Lia had explained, grabbing one of the dead Quarian's M-3 Predators. "I'll lower the shield when we're ready to go." She says. [spoiler]-Investigate around the room. -Begin evacuation of the facility.[/spoiler]
-
"Anything I can do to help? I'm pretty damn good with tech if there's any need to fix up the Geth." Glitch commented, examining the room "I'm Glitch by the way."
-
"Lia. Well...there's Geth needing a bit of repair; Pyros might need a bit of tweaking to their tanks, so they don't explode on us. A bit of rewriting on the Geth so they don't shut down. And also...I might need a bit of help with activating some of the defenses here; might buy us some time." The Quarian had said. Along with that, multiple pieces of Reaper techcould been seen around the room, which could be salvaged for credits, along with a wall safe nearby.
-
"Alright. I'll take a look around, help some Geth. We can take care of the defenses before we mobilize." Glitch said moving through the room, salvaging broken down Geth, reaper tech, and anything else she could find really. Talath meanwhile, walked around, applying some nanites into the geth robots that actually patched up their wounds
-
The tech mostly gave her credits, ranging between 8000- 25000 credits. But something else was taken from there...a Reaper Blackstar. Perhaps it'll be useful in the future. Talath' nanomachines seemed to heal most of the Geth within the room, Lia simply collecting as much of their data as necessary.
-
Some of the Reaper tech was not sold off, she hoped she'd be able to make something of the tech so it simply went to her inventory. Since the number of pieces were Unknown, she walked away with 120,000 credits
-
The sound of explosions rained in the background, most likely the turians engaging the Reapers. "Were you...the only ones who came here?" Lia asked. "No...the turians decided to hitch a ride with us...why?" Riley asked, before something struck the building, shaking everyone in there. "Invict...big thing....your way...try to send support...might not have a..." was all was heard from the comms.
-
"Where's the defensive system? we should work on that." Glitch said, moving to the creator
-
"Right." She responds, hacking into the defensive systems, activating the arc cannons armed to the building. "We should make a run for it." Lia replied, Peacekeeper and Vanguard Shep walking to the door. "Time we get the hell out of here, before s**t hits the fan, people!" The Shepard replied, her and Peacekeeper hacking into a nearby door. "This is crazy. Reapers, turians, and mutated Quarians...s**t, this is something that I'm not ready for...not now." Cryark had whispered to himself, hitting himself on the head multiple times on the wall.
-
"HEY! Keep yourself together. If not for yourself, than you know who." Glitch yelled at Cyrak, pulling him from the wall
