Chapter 3

The Normandy

The Human Embassies.

"You are not making my live easy Shepard." the human ambassador, shook his head sounding really irritated. And already Sharia could tell that she was going to dislike this human a lot. He was almost like Palin. "Firefights in the Wards? An all-out assault on Chora's Den?"

"He is like a human version of Palin!" Sharia laughed inwardly, but was also annoyed by the ambassadors rant. "Do you have any ideas how many…?" The ambassador stopped his rant, when noticing the small group of people entering in office.

"Mind telling me why you have small group of armed aliens inside my office?" he asked. Voice really strict. "Maybe it's a take over." the krogan, whose name Sharia had learned was Urdnot Wrex said, with humoring voice. But the ambassador wasn't amused.

"I think I have something that might make your day Udina." Shepard said. Ignoring ambassador Udina's comment about group of aliens with her. She then gave a glance towards Tali, which made the ambassador's and another humans attention on her.

"What you mean Shepard? What's this quarian have to do with anything?" he asked. And Sharia could see from Tali's body language that she was becoming rather annoyed with the ambassador talking about her like she wasn't even a person.

Shepard looked like she also disliked how ambassador talked about Tali. "She has proofs about Saren." Shepard put it simply. Now ambassadors facial expression changed and his voice to more polite. "Maybe you better start from the beginning miss…?"

"And now he's being polite." Sharia snorted. "A typical politician."

"My name is Tali. Tali'Zorah nar Rayya." Tali tried to explain her further, but Udina beat to her and started asking her, why she was away from flotilla. Tali started walking little around the room, explaining about her Pilgrimage. "What's this Pilgrimage?" Shepard asked.

Tali then gave them a quickly explanation, how Pilgrimage was a way to help their fleet and making new discoveries and so on. Soon Tali changed the subject. "During my travels I began hearing reports of the Geth." Tali explained. "Ever since they drove my people away into exile. After that they've never left the Veil. Until now. And I got curious."

"And then what?" Shepard asked before Sharia could. Tali then started explaining how she had followed a patrol of Geth to a uncharted world, where she ambushed a lonely Geth that got separated from it's group and disabled it. "Wait!" Sharia interrupted. "How does that work? I've heard that the Geth tend to fry their memory cores once they are finished?"

"My people created the Geth, so it wasn't that hard. You just need the right equipments and lot of luck." Tali said, sounding slightly proud of herself. "Can you show us what you found?" Shepard asked.

Tali nodded and activated her Omni-tool and a familiar file popped out. Sharia still couldn't believe, such how much trouble the file had caused. Tali then tapped few buttons and the file opened itself and familiar voice that Sharia had heard few times.

"Eden Prime was a major victory! The beacon has brought us one step closer to finding the Conduit." Saren's cold voice said. That seemed get lot of attention from the dark skinned human, who Sharia guessed was some sort of commanding officer of some Alliance vessel.

As the humans went on about how they could proof now that Saren was a traitor, Tali cut. Saying there was someone else with Saren, which was a surprise to everyone. Tali tapped her Omni-tool again and a voice. Woman's voice this time talked. "And one step closer to the return of the Reapers."

"I don't recognize that other voice." the ambassador said. "The one talking about the Reapers."

"I might know." Sharia blurted out. Now everyone's eyes on her, she felt little uncomfortable. "Well, what can you tell?" the ambassador asked. Sharia looked around before answering. "As I said, I might know." Sharia said awkwardly. "She is rather well known in asari community. Se is an asari Matriarch called Benezia."

Nobody said anything, but they all were thinking about this newly acquired information. "The name doesn't sound familiar." the ambassador said. "But what about these 'Reapers' this Benezia mentioned?" the dark skinned human said.

"Where've I heard this name…?" Shepard pondered. "According to the memory core, the Reapers were hyper-advanced machine race that existed fifty thousand years ago." Tali explained. "The Reapers hunted down the Protheans to the extinction and then they vanished. At least that's what the Geth believe." Tali added, sounding little unsure about her last statement. The ambassador didn't seem to buy this. "The Council is going to love this…" Sharia couldn't help but agree on that. No doubt the Council would just turn down this kind of thing. But then again that was their least concern.

But Shepard had something else in her mind. "The visions on Eden Prime… I understand it now. I saw… The Protheteans wiped out by the Reapers." Visions? On Eden Prime? This was just getting weirder and weirder. "Visions Commander?" Sharia asked little interested.

Shepard nodded at this. "I got it from this Prothetean Beacon on Eden Prime." Shepard said, then turned back to Tali. "Is there anything else that the Geth had on the Reapers?" she asked.

Tali then explained that the Geth worshipped them as Gods, which Sharia found it really strange. A non-organic race worshipping greater entity. "That is sounding rather far-fetched." and the ambassador was thinking the same thing. But with little different mind.

The dark skinned seemed not to care about these 'far-fetched' info's "No matter what they think about rest of this, those audio files prove Saren's a traitor!" That seemed to change the mood of the ambassador.

"The Captain's right. We need to present this to the Council right away!"

"What about the quarian." human, who was called Ashley Williams, or just Ash. Asked, pointing at Tali who didn't take kindly that kind gesture. "My name is Tali!" she then looked straight at the Commander. "You saw me in the alley. Let me come with you." Tali almost sounded pleading.

Shepard simply smiled. "I'm happy to take all the help I can." she then turned to Sharia. "What about you Sharia? Interested to bring down Saren?"

Sharia was speechless. This had happened all of sudden. "Me?" she pointed herself. "Yes, you. Garrus has already agreed on helping us out." Shepard said. Sharia was little surprised that Garrus would leave his C-Sec duty for this. But then again, this was something big that you just couldn't ignore.

Especially if it had something to do with a possible rogue Specter who had an army of synthetics under his command and possible a asari Matriarch helping him. "Well, I can't just walk away from this." she shrugged. Not looking that excited, while she was almost jumping from excitement.

"So, you can count me in she smiled." Shepard seemed to approve this. "Then, welcome aboard Tali and Sharia." she said. "Thanks. You won't regret this." Tali said. And Sharia could almost see her smiling behind that mask. "And if you do, it was your call to take us." Sharia joked. Which got a chuckle from both Tali and Commander.

"Anderson and I will go ahead to get things ready with the Council. Take few minutes to collect yourself and then meet us at the Tower." ambassador said, as he left with other human, Sharia had now learned was called "Anderson".

Shepard seemed to just stand there and think before she turned towards her new team. "Alright, this is what we are going to do. Alenko, you will take our guests to the Normandy and show them around, while Ash and Garrus will come with me." she told them.

"Understood Commander." Alenko said. Sharia then remembered something. "Uuum… Commander?" she raised her hand a little so she could get her attention. "Yeah Sharia?"

"I have few things that I need to get from my apartment if that is fitting for you?" she asked. Shepard nodded at this. "I guess, it doesn't hurt that much. Alright, you can get what ever you need. But come then to the C-Sec Aca…"

"Academy and then to the Normandy" Sharia finished. Which didn't seem sit well for the Commander. "Sorry." she said embarrassed. "But I pretty much know where to go since I work at the C-Sec don't I?" she tried to humor the Commander. Who made small smirk at this. "Yes. See you all on the ship." she said, while Ash and Garrus followed her.

Sharia left with the others but soon as they got back to the Embassies, Sharia took different cabin and left for her apartment.

Soon. At Sharia's apartment.

Sharia went to her room for a change. She needed different cloths since she wasn't wearing her own cloths. She quickly decided to go with her C-Sec cloths, which were grayish blue colored.

Sharia had rather big apartment. She had three separated rooms from the front room that also held the kitchen. The two others held two different bedrooms and third had a large screen where Sharia tend to watch different films or any other programs. And it also had a perfect view for the Citadels Wards and the space. Her favorite place.

As she was finished with her cloths, she looked at her desk, which had her own personal console with a small desk light. But her eyes were fixed on the object that laid on far right on the desk. It was a sheathed knife, that gave her the nightmares years ago. "I'm so sorry." Sharia sadly thought. Almost letting few tears to run down her cheek.

She then moved towards the knife and took it from its place and eyed it. It still held the same weight and had a shiny surface. Like it was never used. But she knew better, she sighted and placed it on her hips. If it hadn't been for the C-Sec's policy, she would've taken the knife everywhere she went, incase she would cross paths with him. "Next time I meet him, I won't let him get away! I promise you Nethely!" she vowed like last time.

Now that she was ready, she left for the C-Sec so that she could get her weapons and armor. While going back to the Academy, she couldn't help but wonder how Palin would deal with this. That of course sent a smirk to her face. Of course the turian would blow at this, but that his problem.

She soon reached the C-Sec and went to the armory. Where she dressed herself in her blue armor and took her pistol and assault rifle. She quickly checked out that they were both still functional and working.

She then moved to the elevator that took her to the docking bay where her new "home" would be for a moment. When the elevator finally reached the docking bay, Sharia couldn't help but let out a quiet whistle.

The ship looked like it had some turian design in it for being a human vessel. "Well, not anymore." she thought, since now the ship had many non-humans. As she stepped inside, she was greeted by artificial voice that greeted. "Welcome aboard SSV Normandy." this might be a start of a new life for her.
