Mass Effect- A galaxy at war: Redux

"Negative, Snipe. No fancy tricks or hacking my security, all i need is to get to afterlife. If you want to help, deactivate the shutters on docking bay D-78, it's closer to afterlife than i had originally planned, and if you don't get caught, will give me and my troops the upper hand stealth wise. There should be no Eagles in the area, but if there are... drop 'em silently. Aria out, you've got ten minutes."

 

Aria looked at the Lady once more, before blinking, turning her gaze to Tripp. "Well, go get on your ship then." She rolled her eyes and forced herself out of her chair, walking hastily to her communication room once again.

 

"Okay everyone, this is it. Ground troops, board the station! We are taking afterlife and holding the Gozu district, take no infantry as prisoners, officers are a maybe, and sparing lives is a no. We are the lawless of the Galaxy for a reason... Let's show the Eagles why!"

[leirynot]

"Understood, Snipe out."

Domenic took the lead with his silenced Hornet. The two began making their way toward bay D-78. Aria was right about there being no Eagles in the area so far. They continued onward, constantly searching for any hostiles. Domenic peeked around a corner to see two Eagles patrolling the area. Luckily they had not been paying much attention as they walked in Domenic's direction, allowing him to remain undetected. They turned the corner to see Domenic holding his SMG in one hand and pistol in the other. He fired, pumping a few bullets into each of their heads, then he and Noah proceeded to bay D-78, not encountering any more eagles. They entered the control room for the bay and Domenic accessed the controls for the shutters. He deactivated them, but also made sure that they would display as active on any other console in Omega. Noah contacted Aria again, with 3 minutes to spare.

"This is the Snipe. The shutters have been deactivated. We'll wait by the airlock and join up with your troops when you dock."

"Alright people, listen up. We're going to be right up with Aria supporting her on her way to Afterlife. Also, disregard her comment on no prisoners. If they surrender, knock their asses out, collect them and move on." Logan looked around the Kodiak at the team. No, HIS team.

The Kodiak headed towards D-78 where, the team would be dropped off and deployed. Despite taking several minor damages, the Kodiak remained intact.

Tripp smiled, he had to give it to Aria. She was a tough woman but she had to manage a whole cartel of murderers and rogues which in his comparison would be like herding cats so he could see why. He tapped the communication channel on his Omni-Tool to examine the data-feed that Jeeves had given him, spliced bits of information from the info-stash he had placed there some years before, enough information to make the Shadow-Broker horny. He stepped off the shuttle and into the shuttle bay where Kex and Dax waited for him still dressed in their tactical gear. They escorted him wordlessly to Operations.

Operations was busy with movement from the crew and chatter as they monitored the situation, voices across numerous channels that were intercepted between Eagles and Arias forces and the mercenary companies employed on both sides. To the left was a large console that held the communications and tactical stations while on the wall behind them was engineering and weapons, on the right was navigation and logistics. All of these stations were manned by expert men and women from numerous races all with extensive military backgrounds, despite its ruined exterior the interior of the ship held more advanced equipment then most Alliance and Turian vessels. In the center of the operations room facing the large multiscreened view port and the helmsmans station was the captains chair, Reyes stood from the captains chair and saluted as Tripp walked onto the deck.

'Welcome back Captain... coordinates locked in and ready to jump.' She said as he took his seat. It was widely known aboard the ship the Captains chair was the most comfortable and it was tied into every system aboard the vessel so he could monitor and control, even the helm. He tapped the Navigation screen and it gave him a holographic view of the battle, with friendly ships marked in blue and enemy ships in red, the station itself dominated the small holographic map. 'Alright... take us out.'

The helmsman, a particularly young human acknowledged and guided the Lady out of the battle and made the jump to FTL. Tripp could not help but feel as if he was abandoning Aria in her time of need but he knew better then that, she could handle this and she had spent the better part of the last few years on taking back Omega, she wouldn't jump into this without knowing she would win.

Aria leant back into her chair for the final time, gazing at her station with anticipation. Aria was known for her intense calm and cold demeanour, the most she would show was the occasional flare or sarcastic remark, emotions were a weapon, a double edged blade... and she had had that blade shoved right into her chest too many times to let her feelings show. But she was nervous, that she couldn't hide, for the first time in a long time, she was nervous. There was no Shepard this time, no random chance... this was an all out battle with one of the most heavily equipped, and intensely trained Vigilante outfits in the Galaxy... But Aria's key was her soldiers. The Eagles were dirty, but they had nothing on the raging psycopaths Aria had chained under her command, she possed the shock troopers of the Blood Pack, the Mechs and technological genius's of Eclipse, and the hard fighters of the Blue suns, that, and her own hand-picked outfit of the Galaxies best mercenaries to aid her. That was why Aria grinned widely as she glanced at her station.

 

"This is it... get me the shuttle, I'm taking back my station."

 

The moment Aria touched down the Eagles sent a barrage of fire her way, as the shuttle doors opened, the Krogan warlords that had sat with Aria unleashed a huge spray from the Revenant's they both held, taking down all of the Eagles in range before Aria had even set foot on the ground. As she walked on her station for the first time in five years, Aria breathed in the air with a large sigh, shotgun in her hand she grinned widely.

 

Finding an Eagle infantryman lying on the ground, she broke his neck with the heel of her foot as she stepped over him, and reached down for the comm device that sat on his collar. "I'm coming for you Lurik... make sure you put on your best dress before I gut you." After she had finished the message a sniper shot missed her foot by little more than a centimetre, Aria growled in anger, releasing a large biotic flare to detonate the catwalk the Sniper and his team stood on, screaming to her company "Go time people! Seize the Gozu district!"

Sitting in the bar, even Kharek could tell that it was all about to go down. What it was had yet to be seen, but it would no doubt be bloody. The bar was extremely dirty in a rundown back alley in one of the worst sections of Omega, filled to the brim with only vorcha and batarians like himself. The gunshots started up and the flashbacks started, reminding him all to well of his old gladiatorial days; he loved it.

 

He stood up from the bar and almost sprinted out of the place, headed directly toward the gunshots. He didn't know what was going on, but he needed to be a part of the action.

Dylan was dancing in Afterlife, his mind twisted from the red sand he had earlier. He wouldn't have noticed it if one of them hadn't bumped into him, but the few Eagles that occupied the club seemed to be getting really anxious, which was completely unlike them. There was only one person who could caused this, and he knew she would be coming right here...

 

He couldn't think very well, but when the thought of killing them grazed his mind he picked it out and held it tight, his choice made. There were only six of them spread throughout the club, but they all seemed to be in touch through comm-links. He was intent on not giving them a chance to realize what was happening.

 

He drew his weapons as inconspicuously as he could, starting off the bloodbath with beheading an Eagle in the middle of the dance floor, sending all the patrons running and screaming. The next moment he biotically charged at a member against the wall, sending him crashing into it, topped off with a stab to the throat for good measure. At this time the rest finally reacted, showering bullets in his direction. One stood at the bottom of the stairs leading to Aria's old spot, with the last three occupying said spot. He ran for the stairs, giving the man at the bottom a shot from his pistol. The sheer stopping power of the pistol made up for the fact that it shot once before needing to be reloaded. He flew back against the wall and on further inspection the man's chest sported a rather large hole slightly to the right of his heart: not a perfect shot. He sprinted up the stairs while empowering his blade with biotic power, unleashing it in a whirling torrent at the top that sent the men to their knees. He then dispatched them each one by one, pushing his blade down through the top of their skulls.

 

There was no doubt that they had called for backup, but he couldn't help but feel pleased with his abilities. He sat down in the very spot where the Queen of Omega had sat and produced a small vial he had stashed away, intent on 'dusting up' before having to deal with any more fighting.

With Aria safely on-board, Domenic and Noah had gone ahead of Aria a short way, killing several Eagle patrols with military efficiency, most with a routine two shots to the chest and one to the head. They were making good progress until they reached a heavily defended chokepoint. The enemy fired on them and several bullets bounced off their shields before they took cover.

"Aww hell."

"It looks like vee vill hafe vait for Aria."

"That's it? Just wait? They're gonna surround us if we sit here! You sure you can't find anywhere to fly around and flank them?"

Domenic looked from behind his cover. A shot from an assault rifle collided with his shields, taking them out. "Scheiße!" He quickly ducked back behind cover.

"No, vay in hell am I goink flank zat. Fall back to a more defensible position and vait for Aria's men."

The two retreated around into a corridor and used their biotics to place crates such that they could be used for cover if surrounded and waited. It wasn't long before two patrols had come to block them off on both sides. Noah managed to take one Eagle out with a lucky shot to the eye using his Phalanx, but was forced back under cover by suppressing fire from both sides. Luckily, unless the Eagles brought in explosives or tried to fight them in hand-to-hand combat, they could probably hold out indefinitely.
