"Beautiful, ain't it?" Merrick piped up. "Used to be eight fleets before the war. Now? 33 main fleets and thousands of smaller fleets and flotillas. You're staring at three of those 33 fleets right now." He replied.
"By the way, next round of cards...bring me in; I could probably by some credits on any of you guys." Silvia mumbled loud enough for Jack to hear.

"Yeah... Something we can do to help you good man?"
-
"I....want you to sign this!" He says, giving Jack a picture of himself. "Who are you?" The asari asked. "You forgot about me, Sil? It's me, Conrad Verner!" He yelled [spoiler] Going to sleep. G'Night![/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Good night! [/spoiler] "Uh... Can I ask why exactly you want my signing? ' [b]He asked as he signed the picture [/b]

[spoiler];)[/spoiler] "It's for my wife...and me personally. We heard back on Eden Prime that some Dojo people were coming; and now I'm standing right in front of one!" Conrad geeked, his enthusiasm levels way too high for a normal person.
-
[b]He handed the picture back, smiling [/b] "Just make sure you don't tell anyone where we are."
-
"Of course, Sir!" He replied, walking away from the couple. "Huh...that was a lot more calmer than I thought." She replies.
-
"Sometimes, people aren't half bad."
-
"I know, it's just...never mind." She had said, before pulling out a little gold bracelet, seemingly almost attached to the dang thing.
-
"I did say sometimes didn't I?"
-
Edited by A Stormy Dio: 2/25/2017 4:44:03 AM"Yeah...sure." She responds, still staring at the bracelet.
-
"Hey you okay there alien? What's up with the bracelet?"
-
She shakes her head out of it. "Yeah, I'm fine. Sometimes I just get lost in my memories; nothing major."
-
"Does it mean something to you? A gift from someone maybe?"
-
"My mother gave it to me when she was a little kid. Told me to keep it safe while she went out to argue with the Asari Republics. Last time I contacted her, the Matriarchs who rebelled against Tevos were in the Ismar Frontier with the entire remaining Rebellion Fleet. I consider this a little token from her to keep with me." She explains, clutching it in her hands, before looking to Jack. "Look...if there's ever a case in which both of us survive and all this war is over...I'll take you to Illium." She whispers, before putting it away and resorted to being relaxed.
-
"We can't go anyways? I say we take the crew. Run away."
-
"Too dangerous; we'll enter right in the middle of a damn warzone. Tevos wants Illium more than Wasteland or Council Space. We're lucky the Geth, Quarians and Turians there are helping them prepare for invasion. Hell, Tevos somehow hijacked the Destiny Ascension to her side as her flagship." She replies.
-
"Shit... Than let's run somewhere else."
-
I'd rather stay with these guys. There's the Citadel, but Tevos could just go and devastate it and Palaven. Terminus Space is just a complete mess; Batarians won't let us through, considering the whole Lenny war ordeal.
-
"Isn't there any place that's unaffected by this war? What with the IMC, the Empire and Mandalorian war. Now this."
-
"Well, no-one can exactly achieve galactic peace, right?" She responded, as an Alliance soldier walked up to her and whispered something into her ear. "Time for negotiations." She responded, nudging Jack to follow.
-
"Huh. That was fast." [b]Jack looked down at the half finished dish as he rose to his feet and followed the Asari [/b]

Edited by A Stormy Dio: 2/25/2017 1:33:29 PM([i]About 15 minutes of walking later)[/i] The two opened the door to see about five people arguing. Three were recognizable; Hackett, Cryark and Merrick. The third seemed to be the turian representative, Primarch Victus, who seems to be the only one who noticed the two, nodding to join them. The fourth one seemed to be the quarian representative, Admiral Koris, who seemed to be pointing toward Hackett, explaining something about 'resources in the area' and 'the Militia'. Victus leaned in to both their ears, saying "To be honest, I'd rather be on the front lines right now, Pilot, but considering your people could help us in some way, I'd be willing to stick through Hackett's speeches and Koris's complaining."
-
[b]Jack nodded slowly, remaining silent as he watched the scene [/b]
-
"...ended up with a civil war with the Geth!" Koris stated. "Admiral, you know that the Geth had been willing to cooperate against Cerberus since the Battle of Rannoch ended." Hackett stated. "I know...just, with the information that we were sent about their 'Project Overlord'...." Koris began saying, before everyone moved their eyes to Jack and Silsia. "Sorry for the delay, shall we begin?" Hackett asked everyone. "Alright, Pilot...a simple concept. Tell us your demands first. What do you want to get this alliance together?" Victus asked, all eyes on him.
-
"As much as I hate to say it... I know you have priorities. With your little war going on. The Militia requests aid in their battle against the IMC. That's it. We just want to be able to live freely." "As for the dojo side of the spectrum, we have the old dojo fleet. Which has since, been shut down. If possible, we'd like to reinstate those fleets and assist you with your battles."
