"I know you don't," Orinia said calmly, "That's why I didn't tell it to you." She looked around as they walked, noticing that they seemed to be getting to an area with more mercenaries. "I hardly know him. You may go out with people without knowing them, but I don't," She said. She then looked at Tela, and said nothing, but it seemed like she was saying nothing to be annoying, rather then not wanting to answer.
Jack and Garret followed Veetor. They fought some Blood pack along the way, one time Garret sent a Krogan flying with his Biotics. After a while they got to the Environmental plant place. "What now?" Jack asked, looking around the room.

Tela frowned and make an ilk noise at Orinia. She simply continued to lead her and said "You think I don't get to know people first? I have lived a hundred years, I could have married a Salarian and he could have died by this time in my life." she actually sounded like that came from personal experience. She watched the mercs move around with Eclipse armour along with automated units. She smiled at Orinia and said "I will be right with there with that cute Quarian." she then walked through to the leader of the Eclipse mercs and gave the Salarian a kiss. He then looked and said "Ah Tela, just the person I didn't need to see. What can I help you with?" Tela then smiled and said "Archangel has really pissed off some friends of mine, I'm sure you wouldn't mind." the leader looked at Orinia then back at Tela and said "I'm sure you could solve a little problem with STG looking into my group if I help you out." Tela nodded and said "As soon as I have the guy dead." the leader then pointed them toward a Turian and said "Get some Eclipse armour then, don't need problems with the blue suns."
Veetor quickly walked over to a console and he quickly hacked it, seeming to move with an insane level of both speed and accuracy. He then took the cure out of the case and inserted it into a slot then smirked to himself and said "Commander Jack Vas Normendy, I have full access to the system, ready to flush the cure."

"Well, you would ask Veetor out without getting to know him first, and you assume that I would date him without knowing him," Orinia replied. "Salarians live short lives," She said. She just continued to follow Tela. Orinia blinked at Tela, then watched her head over and give the Salarian a kiss. She tapped her foot and crossed her arms. She then walked over,"Aren't you guys hiring freelancers to help you out, why don't we just go as freelancers?" She asked. "I don't need armor, I've already got mine."
Jack and Garret kept watch while Veetor hacked the console. "Do it," Jack said to Veetor, thinking that his name sounded really lame with the Vas Normandy on the end.

"Well yeah, but that is just to mess with you though, I don't really care about Veetor myself." Tela said with a smirk, seeming to want Orinia and Veetor to not be happy. She frowned slightly at what she said about Salarians and said "Yes, yes they do." she seemed to have some pain in her voice about that. When Orinia asked the base commander about freelancers he chuckled slightly and said "Freelancers are cannonfoder, they will be thrown into fire for no reason, if you are with Eclipse you will advance behind mechs." he then shrugged and said "Suit yourself, sabotage to plan." Tela walked to the armoury and began putting on armour with Eclipse logos on it.
Veetor quickly nodded and pressed a few more buttons and there was a big woosh sound as the air turned on full spreading the cure. He then turned back and said "Jack Vas Normandy, Garret Vas Omega, I believe everything is in order." he called them Vas because he was still in the 'hacking zone' that he did when he, well hacked.

"Well, if I really don't care, it's not exactly going to mess with me, is it?" Orinia said calmly. She really did seem to not care about it. She was honestly thinking that Tela was a big asshole for not wanting them to be happy, and kind of felt like punching her for that reason alone. "Even if I did care, why are you a big enough asshole to not want us to be happy?" She asked, not seeming to give a shiz about the pain in Tela's voice. "I can handle being cannonfodder," She said to the base commander dude. She wanted to get to Archangel before he was dead, and going behind the Mechs wasn't the best way to do that.
"Good job. Now let's get back to Mordin and tell him that we got the job done," Jack said, smiling. He didn't really seem to notice being called Jack vas Normandy.
Garret on the other hand almost laughed at being called Garret Vas Omega. "Saying it like that makes Quarian names sound so much cooler," He said. He then seemed to start thinking about something, then shook his head before going into a small cough attack.

Tela kind of just shrugged a little and said "Fine, never really liked Quarians anyway, their stupid Flotila is always on the edge of Turian space." she kind of shrugged to the next question and said "Because I don't want a suit rat and a disorderly Turian to be together, I mean think of the children." the last part seemed to be a joke. She shook her head at her saying she could be cannon fodder, but the commander just quickly said "Get to the front then, first wave almost ready, then blood pack then we deploy our mechs." he spoke quickly, but not too quick to understand. Tela shrugged and stood there in Eclipse armour.
The Batarian had gone over to the gunship to help with repairs.
(Veetor) Veetor quickly nodded to Jack and said "Thank you, it was easy." he nodded to going to tell Mordin. He glanced at Garret and said "S-sorry, I didn't m-mean to call you Vas Omega." quickly going back to his shy self after hacking. He walked with them back to Mordin's clinic, staying shy and quiet on the way.
Mordin looked back at the people and said "Ah, Jack, Garret, Veetor, the cure has been fully disbursed, the wards of Omega are recovering well. I will leave some mechs and medical supplies to help those who are still sick." he then tapped something on his Omni tool and quickly said "Ready to go now."

Orinia seemed to wonder why the hell Tela gave a crap about the Flotila being on the edge of Turian space, and she also wondered why Tela seemed to be so against the Flotila in the first place. She crossed her arms,"I wonder what Jack would think about your attitude toward other races. Toward your team members. He seemed pretty set on defending Veetor, and even though he's kind of a pervert, I bet he would defend him from you, too." She didn't seem to care one bit about being called a disorderly Turian. She was kind of one of those types that were annoyingly hard to annoy, at times, anyway. She nodded to the Salarian, then went over to the front lines to wait.
"It's fine," Garret said to Veetor,"I don't mind. I was just saying how 'Garret Vas Omega' sounded lame, compared to awesome Quarian names." When they headed back, he just kind of stayed silent for the rest of the way.
Once they were back, Jack smiled to Mordin. "It's nice that the cure works fast." He nodded when Mordin said that he was ready to go, then looked at his teammates. "Let's go," He said, heading out and back toward the Normandy. He wondered how things were going for Orinia and Tela. He wondered if they could go help once they got Mordin situated.

Tela kind of put up her arms and said "Don't worry I'm not going to hurt him or anything, I just don't like the flotila so I don't want to see him happy. I would never hurt another team member, don't worry. I feel that I act more like a Turian then you do though, but given how my father was a general it is kinda understandable." she shrugged kinda as she finished. As Orinia moved to the front a blue suns member ordered "Freelancers, go go go!" and the mercs went scrambling over the wall, most getting shot as they did.
Veetor nodded and said "Ah, I didn't realise, sorry. I just think you maybe need a human ship name though, like your dreadnought the Everest."
Mordin and Veetor hurried along but Mordin quietly asked Jack "I didn't realise you had Veetor'Xen on your side, I bet his mother must be fascinated with your ship, so advanced, Admiral Xen, obsessive."
As they walked onto the Normandy a 19 year old girl with long blond hair quickly flipped over to them, she wore Phantom armour but without the helmet and said "Hi, I'm the new cerbarus representative." she had a sword to Jack's neck and chuckled slightly saying "Whoops, force of habit." from the cockpit Joker's voice said "Careful commander, she is really bouncy, and has a sword." the girl just smiled and did a cartwheel backwards, still holding a sword in one hand and a pistol in the other.

"And why don't you like the flotila?" Orinia asked,"I think it's kind of awesome. I mean, it would suck to be them, having to live on ships forever, with no home world or anything, but something about it is cool. I just can't place what. I don't really care if you act more like a turian then I do. I don't really see how that's relevant to anything." When the Blue suns member told them to go, she climbed over the wall and used her biotics to reflect the shots, as well as doing some dodging. She quickly made her way over to the other side of the bridge, killing the few freelancers that made it over, as well.
"I think no matter the ship name, Quarian's are always going to have cooler names," Garret said. He then looked thoughtful, not that you could really tell, since his whole face was pretty much covered and all you could see was his eyes. "Were Quarians always called Quarians?" He asked, kind of out of nowhere.
Jack kind of blinked at Mordin. "What?" He asked, apparently confused about what he was talking about.
Jack didn't seem intimidated by the fact that the girl had a sword to his neck, and just kind of looked at her. "What happened to Mr.Douchebag?" Jack asked. He chuckled at what Joker said, then said,"I noticed," With a slightly flirty hint to his voice. Garret shot him a look like he was kinda creepy, since Jack was 25 and the girl looked about 19.
It was quite clear in Garret's eyes that he didn't trust her, though there was something sad about his gaze as he looked around the Normandy, too. He looked at her sword and pistol and said,"I don't think you need those out." His voice held barely contained hate for anyone Cerberus.

"Because Admiral Han'Gerrel Vas Neema is such a pest on the fringes of the Hierarchy. His Heavy Fleet was the bane of my father's life, and I never saw the use for them." Tela said, sneering the word Neema "They go into a system, strip mine it, and leave it as if nothing happened. I seriusly wish the Geth had done much much better." she shrugged and said "I thought it might matter, because, you know, I'm not a Turian, I'm an Asari, in case you didn't notice."
The Freelancers were quickly followed by an all out charge (as opposed to the game) where Eclipse, Blue Suns, and Blood Pack members all advanced at once. Mechs moved first and quickly, followed by blood pack and blue suns, then finally actual Eclipse units. However there was a single gunshot, and the leader of Eclipse fell over and Tela chuckled saying "That is enough out of you." then put up a biotic bubble (like the commandos do in 3) and stood there as the Eclipse troops shot at her.
Veetor shrugged slightly and said "I guess, I wonder if you would think do if you were a Quarian, I mean hearing each others names takes the fun out of it." he tilted his head at his question and said "I think so yeah, I don't take it humans changed from something else?" he seemed kinda confused by the question, but unlike others he didn't seem at all offset by this guy's mask, more less used to it. He nervously rubbed his hands together and said "Intrestingly Geth means 'servant of the people' in classic Quarian." he then muttered "May our ancestors forgive our sins against the Geth."
Mordin slowed down his speech a little and said "Veetor'Xen, your Quarian, is the illegitimate son of Admiral Daro'Xen and Admiral Rael'Zorah. It must be difficult if his mother sees your ship, because of her obsession with technology." he seemed to be trying to explain as simply as he could and added "Biological brother to Tali'Zorah, doubt he knows that though, law against multiple births makes things.... Unpleasant."
Tabitha, the Cerbarus girl, just blushed slightly at Jack's flirty tone and said "He was reassigned, I'm not sure for what so don't bother asking." she did a sideways cartwheel while saying "Cerbarus thought I would be a better fit because I don't hate Xeno's like most people in Cerbarus." she flipped back and forth in different spots probably making them dizzy. She added "I still think Humans are better." she apruptly stopped and pointed her gun at Veetor for a second before winking at him "But I wouldn't hurt Xenos for it." she chuckled at Garret and fipped over to him, pressing her sword against his neck and her gun against his forehead then asked "What, scared of little me?" the rolled backwards and smirked saying "Well you should be." she then fipped in the air again and glowed a light blue showing she was a biotic, and more less overly hyper.

"You never know, they may come in handy sometime in the future," Orinia said, sounding like she didn't have an opinion either way. She didn't seem to notice Tela sneering at the word 'Neema', probably because she would have no clue why she was sneering at it, anyway. "If they have permission to do it, I don't see how that's a problem." She shrugged,"And I'm a Turian that acts like a human," She pointed out.
Once she was inside and had cleared out everyone inside, she headed upstairs to find Archangel. She was surprised to see that he just let her in easily. "I could use your help over here," Archangel said from the window. Orinia was surprised by how much he seemed to trust her, right off the bat. She headed over to the window and began sniping the mercs, though she made sure not to shoot Tela. Not that she would have felt to bad if she had.
Garret nodded. "I think that every race is likely to think that another race has cooler names. Just like, some people tend to think that their own language is lame, but think that every other language is cooler then theirs." He nodded slowly and thoughtfully. "I was just thinking how the first part of Quarian is 'Quar', kinda like in Quarantine, and I was thinking that you guys are kind of quarantined inside your suits, but you didn't always wear suits, so...yeah," He explained. "Kheelish," He corrected, though he figured that Veetor knew that.
Jack kind of blinked. "I think I need to take time to get to know my crew members," He said in a kind of half-joking, half-serious way. He really had no clue that Veetor was the son of a couple of Admirals. "I lose Tali and get her brother. Interesting coincidence."
"I think I might know why," Jack said. He wasn't sure, but he guessed that it had something to do with the fact that Kai was a massive ass to the Xenos, and had gotten in trouble with the Illusive man. He watched as she did a sideways cartwheel and wondered where she got her energy from. "That's good," He said, stopping watching her after a bit. He twitched and narrowed his eyes when she pointed her gun at Veetor, then kept watching her carefully when she went over to Garret.
Garret watched Tabitha steadily. "No," He replied in response to her asking if he was scared of her. He leaned forward slightly, since he was probably taller then her, and said,"But I don't trust any Cerberus bitch," In a obviously rather rude way. When she flipped in the air and glowed in a blue biotic light, his eyes flashed with the same blue color, and his hand twitched to his sword slightly.
"Cool it, both of you," Jack snapped, shaking his head. He hoped that they would eventually get along better. Or at least Garret would gain a bit more trust in Cerberus.

"Handy for raiding Turian space maybe." Tela said in an annoyed way. She shrugged and said "I wouldn't have a problem with it either if they got permission first. However they don't." she just shook her head at the last thing she said. (so we don't go on forever, keeping it short.)
Tela's biotic bubble was getting slowly smaller as she exausted herself to maintain it under heavy fire. Mechs turned their fire toward the balcony with Orina on it to pin her and Archangel down. With the situation going bad quite fast a gunship appeared marked with Blue Suns markings. However to the surprise of all it fired a barrage of rockets at the heavy mech and forward Blood Pack, swinging the odds back against the mercs. Eluam gruffly said over the comms "Need some support?" though the question needed no answer, and it was clear he was piloting the gunship.
Veetor kinda shrugged and said "Yeah, I always thought Turian names were kinda" he then shyly and quietly finished his sentence "cute." then returned to normal volume and less shyness as he continued "Well hear even the Rachni had a beautiful language, not that too many heard it." he thought about what he said and shrugged saying "Well I guess that had to happen eventually, I mean with the sheer number of languages and species a coincidence was bound to happen." he kinda smirked at what he said, not that it mattered, and said "Of course, though that kinda just means of the homeworldian, I personally like saying Quarian instead, I find it easier."
Mordin shrugged slightly and said "Former STG, still in the loop on important things, like the children of admirals visiting Omega." he shrugged more and said "Intresting that Cerbarus would take Quarian at all, bad blood between them and Flotila, tried to blow up Quarian ship, trust.... Hard to obtain."
Tabitha nodded and said "I know why he was removed from this ship, I don't know where he was moved to." she did another cartwheel in a random direction. When Garret called her a bitch she looked hurt and said "How dare you, you you." she was being mad and flustered at not being able to come up with a response when Veetor offered "Bosh'tet?" Tabitha nodded and said "Yeah that you, Bish'net." not pronouncing it at all right. She seemed pretty annoyed at him despite not being able to come up with an insult herself. She had been standing still for several moments, a new record for her bouncyness, and then said "I will be in my room!" and engaged a cloak feature and stormed off.
Veetor glanced at Garret and said "You could be nicer you know, I mean I hate Cerbarus as much as the rest of you, but being rude to our nicer commander isn't that great if an idea." he didn't really seem annoyed with Garret, and actully seemed shy again, just not as shy as before.

"Well, is it illegal for them to do that there?" Orinia asked. She figured if they were allowed to mine there, there was no problem.
Orinia actually seemed to be enjoying the hardening odds. She was pretty accurate with a sniper rifle, and with her biotics added in, it made her kinda scary, but even then they were losing ground. She was at first alarmed when the gunship came, but 'smiled' when she noticed that it was on their side.
"That's what I'm talking about!" Garrus said, kind of cheerfully. He seemed to be enjoying himself, just not as much as Orinia, and he was getting tired.
"I like Asari names," Garret said, and there was a slight hint of embarrassment in his voice. "Though, honestly, I like all the race's names, humans least of all." He nodded, and got a kind of distant look in his eyes. "Have you ever met a Rachni?" He asked. As he spoke, there was a hint of sadness in his voice. He nodded to the next thing Veetor said. "I find Kheelish more entertaining to say."
"I don't think anyone really cares where he was moved to," Jack said in a kind of half-joking way. He looked kind of annoyed at Garret insulting their new Cerberus representative pretty much as soon as he stepped foot on the ship. "Would you please keep your hate to yourself?" He asked Garret.
"It's Bosh'tet," Garret said bluntly. He glanced sharply at Jack, then back at Tabitha as she turned invisible and stormed off. "For now," He said in a kind of cold way, then looked at Veetor. "Could being the key word. Clearly that's not true, or else you would understand why I refuse to be nice to her"

"Yes!" Tela said quickly and loudly, and added "But they have 50,000 armed ships, no one can really stand up to that without leaving themselves exhausted. I mean hell if those lifeships have axial guns, that firepower would be equal to a Asari dreadnought, like the Ascension."
Eluam fired on the mercs in cover, to kill them, or force them into a spot where someone else could shoot them. Tela collapsed her biotic bubble, but instantly started warping the enemy. Mercs quickly broke ranks under this unfair amount of firepower, and some fell off the walkway, just running to get out of the way. One managed to get a grenade launcher shot at the gunship, and hit its engine. Eluam manage to jump out at the last second, and landed on a Krogan, right before he blew his head off with a shotgun, he looked badass. As the remaining mercs ran or were finished off by them he walked up toward Archangel. Tela did so as well, but plopped onto his couch, and passed out from exhaustion at maintaining a biotic bubble under heavy fire.
Veetor nodded and said "Yeah, but Asari just look so, Quarian, they creep me out." he quietly added "Oddly humans don't despite your Quarian like appearance." he shook his head and said "No, but I did hear that there was one on Noveria." he reached into his pack and pulled out an oldish (2 years) geth data core. He shrugged and said "I just think it is confusing to other species, like if I called English Earthian you would understand, but it could take a minute. I just like to be simple."
Tabitha didn't really hear anything else because of her storming off.
Veetor sighed and said "Sorry." then walked slowly toward the cockpit. He leaned over Joker's shoulder and tapped on displays. Joker joked "Hey Jack, you didn't tell me we got Tali back." Veetor sounded embarrassed and said "Nno, I'm male, ttttthat isn't me." Joker cut him off and said "It was a joke, lighten up man." Veetor shook his head and said "Ssory." reflecting his earlier nervous attitude. Joker watched Veetor tapping,'his' controls for the ship and gave Jack a look like 'who is this?'

While Tela and Eluam were being bad ass, Orinia was quickly alternating between sniping and using biotics. So in other words she was being kind of badass herself. She didn't tire out very quickly, but using biotics so fast was wearing her down. She sent a shockwave down the middle of the bridge, which was quite effective, since the only way to go to get away was off the side of the bridge, and if you didn't get out of the way, you were likely to go off the side, anyway. After they had taken care of everyone, Orinia let out a sigh and turned to Tela and Eluam when they came in.
Archangel also turned to them, then took his helmet off. Chances were that no one here would know who he was, unless they had seen a picture of him or something. "Thanks for the help," Garrus said,"I take it you didn't just come risk your lives for me for the hell of it."
Garret blinked at Veetor. "Asari look human..." He said, slightly slowly. "I heard some people at a bar in Illuim talking about how the Asari dancer they were watching looked like each of their races..." He nodded, then, while still having a slightly spacy look in his eyes, he said,"Did you know that they can speak through dead bodies? It's really kind of creepy." He just nodded to the rest of what Veetor said.
Garret just watched as Veetor went off and started messing with Joker's controls.
Jack followed Veetor over to Joker a bit, and when Joker glanced at him, he said,"Veetor, how about we go see how Tela, Orinia and Eluam are doing? And in the future, it would probably be best if you leave these controls alone. You can go press buttons in the engine room, though," He said in in a friendly way, rather then a stern way.
