Chapter 12: Sometimes It's Just Luck.
Summary: Bolstered by reinforcements Hock begins his preparations to take a docked Normandy on Illium.
Azure Hock’s Office.
“Are the new men settling in?” Hock asked.
“Yes, what a fucking nightmare, 1000 men and remodel crews working around the clock they got done in three days what takes most crews three months!” Zaeed said.
“Well it helps when you work for an organization with proper backing. So have you thought about my offer?” Hock asked.
“I have to admit, when you offered, I kind of had my doubts. Then I started thinking what would be the best revenge on Vido than to make another force from scratch that are even more powerful than the Blue Suns.”, Zaeed explained.
“That's the spirit! Besides Vido would not look as good tied up in the mess hall as your other quarry, perhaps things do happen for a reason Massani.” Hock said facetiously.
“Ha, no I have to admit, I never had as much fun. Rage apparently is a hell of an aphrodisiac as well.” Zaeed said laughing at his own joke.
“Well I appreciate you honoring my no sex policy thus with her thus far , I think we are about to drop that condition however, she needs to be humiliated above all. Sex slaves, can dull things out and accept their position. I do not ever want her to ever have the privilege of forgetting her position, I want her to be envious of sex slaves. I want her to hate every second she is alive for the rest of her life. I need her to always believe there is hope, then rip it away from her. I absolute love the fact that you are making her lose at things she believes she is good at.” Hock said.
“Yes I know her type, the uber-hero. She has been told how her crap don’t stink her entire career. She is able but she has not been through the gutter, there is difference between excelling in the face of adversity and being absolutely defeated. Uber heroes have trouble coping with the later, they have always been successful It gets me so hard to see the look on her face when she loses. Especially, because the men love winning against her, and are beginning to relish in their humiliation of the woman. “, Zaeed explained.
“Absolutely! But although I love talking about what to do with Ms. Goody Two Tits, that is not what I wanted to talk to you about today. That Cerberus ship docked at the spaceport, can we take it?” Hock asked.
“I have to admit when you approached me yesterday about what it would take to capture it I was reluctant, even minus Shepard and Miranda and Kasumi it might be problematic.” Zaeed reported.
“How so?” Hock explained.
“Well as I have told you before Archangel is on board, when we caught up to him on Omega he had already held off the every Merc band on Omega for three days!” Zaeed said in admiration.
“Then there is Jacob Taylor, a real coup for Cerberus, he was one of the best Alliance Corsairs before he left the alliance, and he is also a biotic. He could make life hard on anyone fast who enters there, and we want the ship taken intact, he very well could scuttle the ship before we got a hold of it.” Zaeed explained.
“On top of that is Jack….Jack is most likely the most destructive biotic I ever met. It took her less than a couple of seconds to destroy three heavy mechs assigned to guard her cryo-cell. She does hate Cerberus, there may be an opening there”, Zaeed continued running down the reports.
"And what about the Doctor Mordin Solus?”, Hock asked.
“Ummm, I am perplexed to know what to do about him, the collectors are going to need to be dealt with sooner or later when that happens we need him. On Omega I witnessed him decipher and CURE a collector virus unleashed in one of the neighborhoods in a matter of weeks.”, Zaeed stated matter of flatly.
“I have thoughts on that. Needless to say I do not believe we have to worry about him.” Hock said.
“That brings us to our resident thief. Kasumi, like I said she was on mission but has since disappeared entirely. We both attacked the Eclipse base together with Shepard, and when I hit Shepard with the stun shot that knocked her unconscious, Kasumi was gone as if she vanished from thin air. I am sure she has not been back to the Normandy. Officially the crew thinks I am out looking for Shepard still. However, we need to move sooner rather than later.”
Hock tensed up at the mention of Kasumi’s name. She had been the part of the deal the Broker said was being problematic. As good of a word as any to describe her. The bitch was going to pay if it was the last thing he ever did. Still he had her accomplice safe and secure here, Hock thought to himself.
“She most likely fled, if not there is very little we can do to keep her out of our buildings. If she wants to infiltrate us she will infiltrate regardless.” Hock casually said.
“But Donovan….the A.I. on board she is going to be a problem. She is shackled but I do not know how shackled. She might have self-protection protocols that could make the Normandy a death trap.”Zaeed explained.
“Ah the A.I., would you believe it if I told you that problem practically solved itself?” Hock said laughing.
“Solved itself sir?” Zaeed inquired confused.
“Yes, I decided I needed to go to Eternity and have a drink and to scout out a potential problem when low and behold an indentured servant broker was there peddling her wares, mainly, a very talented Quarian who specialized in Artificial Intelligence programming.” Hock explained.
“No… you got to be shitting me!”, Zaeed exclaimed in disbelief.
"No I am serious, let me get her in here." Hock said.
Hock then reach down and hit a button on his desk and said,"Let her in" . Hock ordered over the speaker.
“It is my pleasure to introduce you to Shala’Xen vas Moreh daughter of Admiral Dora’Xen vas Moreh.” Hock said while gesturing to the door.
A Quarian walked through the door and looked at both men. “Sirs, I look forward to seeing this A.I., I am interested to see what those Cerberus bastards came up with and um improve upon it.” She said through the filter of her suit.
“Wait a fucking minute Hock, you mean to tell me that you not only found a god damn Artificial Intelligence programmer, but a daughter of fucking Quarian Admiral, and that she was being sold by an indentured servitude broker. Next you are going to tell me she shits out Eezo and creds!” Zaeed said in utter disbelief.
“Not only that, but she checks out. According to our scientists she is one of the most brilliant minds they ever come across, especially when it comes to this type of technology.” Hock said as he cast a glance over to Shala. .
“And I told you Shala you do not have to address us as if we own you, you are no longer an indentured servant but in our employ. You help us out and I can make sure you have all the resources you need for your experiments.” Hock added.
“I appreciate that…um Mr. Hock. You do not have to worry about my end. Not only am I appreciative of what you have done for me personally. You are going after Cerberus, my people will be more than happy to help you. Just tell me what I can do to help and I will make sure it happens on the name of my family.” She said.
“Splendid, Zaeed and I have some things to finish up here and afterwards I will meet you at the science labs?” Hock said.
“Will do, I will meet you there, it was a pleasure to meet you Mr. Massani. “, Shala stated while turning a heel and exiting the door.
“For me as well Shal’Xen vas Morah”. Zaeed retorted as she was exiting.
Both men waited for the door to close before continuing.
“Well that is one major problem down. It seems that the Quarian’s absolute hate Cerberus.” Hock said in a curious tone.
“Yeah the dumb bastards assassinated a biotic on a fucking Quarian flagship inside of the flotilla.” Zaeed explained.
“What, are they just stupid? ... Well, that just reinforces what I am already starting to figure out. We need to take care of this organization for humanity. Letting these morons become the face of humanity is akin to letting a high red sand addict take care of your child. It is the epitome of irresponsibility. They are going to make life harder for humanity not better.” Hock stated.
“No doubt, and they are not very trustworthy, hell they wanted me to go on damned suicide mission. I am still waiting for them to fulfill their end of the bargain. They ended sending someone who fucked up a plan twenty years in the making. No I am going to make them pay, Shepard, The Illusive Man, or any other one of those fucks wearing a yellow and black uniform who crosses my path!.” Zaeed vigorously argued.
“Very well it is settled then. We start proceeding with “Operation Neptune.” Hock said happy with the reference to Earth history’s name for the operation that took Normandy beach from which the Normandy got its name.
Meanwhile at Chronos Station
“Miranda missed her check-in again. Get me Kai Leng. And switch to Priority Dark Code C” The Illusive man said while looking forward at the shifting sun in front of him.
“Yes Sir, right away” said the gorgeous Hope Lillium who frantically walked away in her Cerberus body suit.
The Illusive man read the reports of the hundreds of Shadow Broker Assets seen exiting the space port in Illium. The Illusive man took a toke off of his cigarette and said, ” Very well Broker you want to play I will indulge you.”
