When things are laid down and tasks need done, sometimes it's necessary for the Citadel to send a small strike group, be it against Geth, Cerberus, and the newly encroaching Reaper threat. Info and strategic assets must be found and captured.

Today, is one of those days. Starting out quietly, gathering details on a Cerberus research outpost, people, movements, who and where. But the time had come to move, late, we stepped down from our scouting position and made our way to a side door. The Quarian quickly grabbed the worker that had taken only a few steps out the door, subdued and quickly quieted not to raise any alarms the body was tossed over the railing to hide it from sight. Turian following behind in a rapid step as they both went inside the facility.

Quarian keeping their rifle at the ready using its optics to track thermal and heat through the winding corridors and hallways, both making their way through towards their destination until they reached the door hiding their treasure. Clad in white armor, gun in hand slung low showing to have it but not quickly to use it thinking it wouldn't be needed here or now. The Turian taking a deep breath as the world around him seemed to slow, warping and stretching in his sight until he was gone. A sudden jolt and behind the guard suddenly stood the Turian, and in practiced stance grabbed the guards helmet and with extra force twisted until a crack echoed lightly through the hallway.

Inside the room the two scoured the counters and tables, reading through info feeds from receiving information out to nearby comm buoy. The Quarian guarding to door, the Turian finding their prize, with a click of a button the shielding lowered and they grabbed it, a Reaper artifact. There was no time to inspect or contemplate its nature for it was time to leave, a loud clunk with a blaring red light signaling everyone to their intention. Bursting through the hallway, here we are. I threw up a biotic barrier to shield us from the upcoming fire, my Quarian counterpart shelling out rounds from his rifle from behind the barrier. More Cerberus troops closing in, it would have to be a slow fight through......



A wonderful piece done by  Palavenmoons with myself the Turian and  Darkhowler as the Quarian! Be sure to give some love to the artist!
