Chapter 1: Betrayal
Eclipse Base
They were suppose to be getting a name of a ship from the Eclipse Sisterhood. The Eclipse took money to smuggle a known Asari fugitive, who was an Ardat Yakshi off world. The Ardat Yakshi was the price prey of an Asari Justicar who had been pursueing her. In exchange for the name of the ship, the Justicar named Samara would join Shepard on a suicide mission. Entry into the base went according to plan with the initial guards being taken by surprise by the unstoppable force that was Shepard. She with the help of a crack mercenary warlord named Zaeed Massani, and perhaps the best thief in the galaxy , Kasumi Goto, were the Eclipse's worst nightmare. Between Shepard's insane biotics,Zaeed's endless barrage of concussive shots, and Kasumi appearing out of nowhere to deliver shadow strikes the Eclipse did not stand a chance.
Commander Shepard did not know where it went wrong. One minute she was making headway into the Eclipse base courtesy of Pitne For’s keycard and the next minute she was barely able to stand. Shepard held onto a nearby crate for dear life as she turned around.
She tried to focus but all she could see was Zaeed angrily ranting. “I told you I would make you pay bitch for letting Vido go, and for what… A bunch of fucking oil workers?!”
“Shadow Broker paid me a pretty coin for double crossing you, seeing you did not fulfill your part of the bargain I see fit to change sides love. I am going to make you regret ruining my revenge, if I cannot have Vido then you will just have to do bitch.” Zaeed laughter was the last thing she heard.
Meanwhile at Azure
Liara T’soni had just been given some prize information from her trusted assistance Nyxeris of the whereabouts of an operative simply known as “The Observer.”
According to the Intel Nyxeris gave, The observer was none other than the enigmatic man to have said to run a luxury “Pleasure Complex” known as Azure.
Liara had thought it best that discretion was needed over brute force as she wanted to close and assess the situation before capturing this “Observer”. Liara walked with an air of self-confidence. “It had been a long year to get to this point and now it was about to pay off. If it had not been….”
Liara’s thoughts were interrupted by the presence of several armed guards overseeing the manager’s office, which only confirmed her suspicion that this was the right place.
Liara upon seeing the gunmen looked into her purse. Just Inside her was a small vid screen displaying images from cameras hidden in the lining of the purse. She smirks as she sees a janitor ogling an incredible looking Asari who is attached to a Batarian businessman. The good looking Asari was pretending to laugh at whatever Batarian was saying. Liara grinned as the pair disappeared through the double doors on the side of the Lobby.
Liara gasped as she felt a hand on her shoulder but was immediately set at ease when she heard a hushed voice.
“It’s me….don’t worry I thought you could use backup Liara…and I brought a friend” Nyxeris utters.
Liara turned around to see Nyxeris and then turned to the ‘friend’ with a look of utter distrust.
“Calm Down Liara…she is here to even the odds…she is…” ,Nysxeris pleaded trying to placate her boss.
“A spectre…..Tela Vasir, from.” Tela finishes grinning as she extends her hand to shake Liara's.
Liara interjects before she can finish speaking, “Thessia, daughter of Matriarch Dalara, Chief Advisor to the Republic of Erai reconnaissance division. The most successful pirate hunter in the Specters, as well as possessor of the largest informant network within the Specter’s…..nice Nyxeris…I am glad to know that you are not the only one who knows Specters…now we are talking.” Liara happily interjects while accepting the handshake of Tela.
“Impressive…I do have the most….but Shepard is coming in a close second now that she has you. Now why don’t we kick this door down and have this piece of shit tell us where to find that fucker, the Shadow Broker”.
Liara tried to not let the name Shepard distract her but as the name was mentioned a rush of emotions flooded her as it had literally been hours earlier that she even knew she was still alive again. The fact that Tela knew that Shepard was alive was truly impressive. The last time before todat she saw Shepard was as a corpse being given to the Illusive Man. She quickly got those thoughts out of her head as she tried to steel herself for what would definitely be a fight to come.
Liara’s hand glowed blue while she smirked and said, ”Lets… Nyxeris prepare to throw at our singularities. Tela, I will make one over there, you make yours on the opposite side Nyxeris direct your throws to cause a big enough Biotic explosion.”
The men never knew what hit them as two gigantic explosions rocked the outer walkways on either side of the manager’s office. The effect being a whole mess of armed guards being thrown into the air by the concussive force of the explosion. As the smoke was clearing three figures could be seen entering into the hole that was made from the biotic explosion.
“I hope he is still alive” Liara muttered as she was shooing the dust away but was promptly interrupted by a man pleading.
“Please don’t shoot, don’t shoot…….I'll give you the money….” The figure in the debris smoke uttered.
“Tempting, but I am here for something else….Donovan Hock…….I thought you were on Bekenstein You…You are the Observer?!!!!”, Liara exclaims as she recognized who is in the room.
The man looking at the three other Asari, dusted off his suit smirked. ”Aye…love, I am here on business….on some personal business….and as far as the Observer....well we had to dangle something to get you here now didn’t we?”
Before Liara could process his words she was hit but a dart to the neck. Liara tried to grab at it and pull it out but it was already too late. She promptly crumbled down in a heap on the floor. The next thing she knew she was being lifted up off the ground and being put into a chair in the office, but other being aware she was unable to move even a muscle.
“Surprise bitch!!!” Tela and Nyxeris say in unison as they both deliberately showed themselves in front of her.
“Finally I do not have to listen to your haughty ass anymore….the broker has some lovely plans for you bitch.” Nyxeris gloated in a tone of snide derision.
Donovan Hock leaned against the desk ,with a drink in his hand, said, ”I bet you wonder why I am here…well the Broker needed a trap sprung, a specialty of mine, taking care of do-good bitches who muck up everyone else’s hard work.”
Donovan continued after deliberately taking a sip from his drink,“If you truly must know…..I am here because of your fucking bitch of a girlfriend…..she took something from me…made me look weak in front of my peers….and let’s just say…I do not like looking weak in front of my peers….so here on this world…is the very first day of my pay back.” Donavan explains as he pours two more drinks for Nyxeris and Tela and hands it to them.
“Cheers!”, They all exclaim in unison the laughter echoing the room.
At the Port
Miranda Lawson was running from what seemed like an endless line of Eclipse guards. She thought she finally caught up with her sister when she did not realize until it was too late that Nyket had turned on her, worst yet, he, with the help of her father, had enlisted the help of the Eclipse sisterhood. Their leader was a ridiculously powerful biotic named Captain Enyala and she with the help of an absurd number of mercenaries had just backed Miranda into the corner.
Miranda was immediately chastised herself for leaving without Shepard. When she did not arrive, Miranda got worried that she would miss her opportunity. However, maybe if she did wait, she would not be trapped behind a pile of crates.
“Think…Miri think……….of course their leader! I just need one shot. If I can hit her then I can slam the engineer’s then make a break for it” She thought to herself.
Miranda zoomed in with the scope of her pistol the blue laser of her m-5 Phalanx was about to settle on her target when she felt the most painful sensation she has ever felt in her life. Everything immediately went white and the last thing she heard was the hum of the drone right above her head and a Salarian Eclipse Mercenary declaring, "Got her!".
