Glitch quickly followed behind her, and he Cybernetic eye scanned the area around them to search for any lifeforms

The Quarian lifeform was most likely behind some kind of shield, Geth forces defending her. This included a prime, a lot of Geth troopers and bombers, and a small handful of Pyros. They were fighting some unidentified lifeforms. And then, from above, something flew. That [url=http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/robotsupremacy/images/8/8b/Codex_Harvester.png/revision/latest?cb=20120707211645]thing [/url] was immediately dropping mini-meteors on the roof...but the question...was why? It didn't seem to notice them yet. "Reapers..." Vanguard Shep was heard whispering angrily. "Reapers?" Cryark asked.
-
"What the hell are they doing here? I thought they were destroyed!" Glitch said, adjusting the rifle in her hands
-
"I don't know. Thought I blew all of them to bits using the Crucible." Vanguard Shep replied, as Cheryl tried to budge the door open with her Omni-tool. "Reapers? Wasn't that squid thing on the Citadel one of them?" Cryark asked, "Victus mentioned them a little bit."
-
"Well now it's more than something mentioned in conversation. It's reality..."
-
Whatever was happening, someone was trying to get to them via comms. "Wait, now that I think about it..." Vanguard Shep whispered, going to Glitch's ear. "How the f*** do you know about the Reapers?" "Door's almost open...just get ready to pull your guns out." Cheryl had replied from the console, Val helping out with it.
-
"It's not hard to find data on them. The geth I hacked into, had a few files referring to Šaren? Some rogue Turian I think. And it detailed how he was using a reaper ship." Glitch responded quickly
-
The door opened fully to reveal...a lot of dead Quarians. Weapons such as the Arc Pistol, Geth Spitfire, and Mantis sniper rifles. There were also dead Reapers. Of course, there were the normal Husks... but there were also [url=https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/masseffect/images/7/7b/ME3_Ravager.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/350?cb=20120319195950]dead Ravager corpses[/url] on the ground as well. And then, something crawled out to the forefront of the group. [url=http://img00.deviantart.net/41a0/i/2012/142/6/0/reaper_quarian_by_dunechampion-d50pwzi.jpg]The new Reaper variant[/url] seems to solidly turn to them, two Reaper drones around her. "No...f*** no..." Vanguard Shep replied, clutching the shotgun in her hands tightly.
-
"You recognize it?" Glitch asked, taking a step back and aiming down her rifles sights.
-
"Who else do you think they indoctrinated. Husks are indoctrinated and harvested humans...I think that's a damn Quarian Reaper." She responded, before said Reaper lifted her hand, a bunch of Husks coming out, and staring at the group.
-
"Do we shoot the shit out of it or what?" Glitch asked, raising her rifle
-
There was an elevator leading to the rest of the facility. It opened, the sound of a shotgun being fired at a Husk's back. The Quarian Reaper, which according to their huds, was recognized as a 'Builder', screamed out, the remaining Husks charging at either the unknown shooter or the group. "Fire at will!" Vanguard Shep shouted, everyone opening fire. More husks crawled out of their places and charged.
-
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.
