[i]"It has come to my attention that your are friends of Watcher, and so I wish to ask you... What happened to the agency known As Cerberus? I spoke with the Illusive Man. He told me to seek you out."[/i]
English
-
"Cerberus? That name has not been heard of in approximately 20 years." The Prime replied, as Valeria stiffened herself a little bit, remembering something about the company. "Can we...do this in a more private place?" Valeria asked the man, the Geth Prime walking back to scan more things on the planet.
-
[i]"Of course. If possible, the remaining crew should have a presence there as well [/i]
-
"The problem is...they don't know what I've seen...what I did after the old crew split up. Maybe you have somewhere we could talk privately away from the rest of the crew." She asks politely and quietly.
-
[b]Kross nodded understandingly and motioned for her to follow as he began walking off [/b]
-
She joins him, as out of the corner of her eye, Cryark seemingly notices her leaving, notices something in her hand, then nods silently, before picking up another squirrel, carrying it to the nearby forest.
-
[b]Kross stopped outside a two story building, and proceeded to enter it. As the woman followed, she saw that there was several boxes of what looked like supplies, presumably a safe house [/b] [i]"Is this fitting?" [/i]
-
"Perfect. So... what do you want to know first?" She asks, a bit shaken.
-
[i]"I will tell you after you answer my question." [/i] [b]Kross said, turning around to face the woman in the rather small room [/b] [i]"What happened to Cerberus?" [/i]
-
"Cerberus...died out after the apparent killing of the Illusive Man. But if you knew what he was, you'd know he had a backup plan. Someone somehow downloaded his conscience into an AI, and a childhood friend of mine took full control of Cerberus. Part of the new group left to some planet called Meizhong, where I think the Illusive Man is hiding. The part that stayed became more like how they were before, destroying everything on all sides of the political spectrum before hiding. Why did you want to know, by the way?" She explains, then asks Kross.
-
[i]"The new Cerberus is planning on Assassinating the crew of the Deirmos. Along with any surviving Normandy crew." [/i]
-
"New Cerberus? Did he give any name as to who it was leading them?" She asked, worrying about them.
-
"[i]An Asari woman I believe. I don't fully recall. "[/i]
-
"Asari? I thought Cerberus didn't exactly trust aliens." She says, scratching her head in confusion.
-
[i]"Someone took over. Through force. They don't have to be trusted." [/i]
-
"I may have some idea on who's behind this...although last time I remembered, she was transferred to an Alliance prison on Feros. I also...remember her attempt to turn me." Valeria thought out loud, shivers coming to at the memories.
-
[i]"The Illusive Man warned that they may try assassinating you." [/i]
-
"The Illusive Man? If he's the one to warn a random person like you...then he could be telling the truth. I still have contacts with one of the Normandy's crew once in a while. She was working with the Alliance's 5th fleet. Maybe we could tell her to spread the warning. Also...I was one of the Alliance agents who'd help hide the Illusive Man's AI core...though I didn't do it willingly, let's say." She explains, as she inspects the Carnifex pistol attached to her hip.
-
[i]"Is that relevant? It doesn't matter now that he's returned." [/i]
-
"Right. But how do we know that he's just doing this to return Cerberus to its former glory? I don't know...we can't stop both of them at once, it'll be too dangerous. The crew dosen't know about Cerberus's return, and neither does the Normandy crew...'least not yet." She responds, pulling out an old Cerberus probe
-
"[i]There will always be time to battle Cerberus. The threat we may face with its copy is immediate. "[/i]
-
"Right. I may know someone who can help, but she has as much of a target on her back as we do. We'll have to take the [i]Deimos[/i] and a few other ships first, though. Dojo ships, preferably." She replies, fidgeting with the old probe.
-
[b]Kross nodded slightly [/b] "[i]It will be done. "[/i]

Edited by A Stormy Dio: 2/16/2017 5:37:57 PM"Can your ships handle mass relays? I'm just asking...I don't want the entire fleet decimated before we go to where I remember last hearing them from. Also...we might need Cryark to join us. If we are to get to finding the Normandy and the rest of our old crew, we'll have to get the Dojo to ally with both the turians and Alliance." She says to Kross. "And maybe we'll find this copycat Cerberus along the way. We'll also have the Republics to deal with. They might take notice and take Citadel and Wasteland space if we don't watch ourselves."
-
[i]"Our ships will handle the relays. However, I'm not entirely sure how many ships we can spare. The guard has been... Shut down." [/i]
-
"I heard. All we need is someone who won't immediately try to shoot anyone in Alliance space. We might need a few ships in case Cerberus comes in...or maybe for the Alliance to arm them with more of our recent equipment." She responds, placing the old probe next to her. "I guess you'd want to know more about this fake Cerberus, huh?" She asks, her face turning into that of a more...depressed look.
