"Of course...then this alliance has been settled. There...is a second reason I've brought you here. The turians and quarians have already agreed to give troop and air support, but I just need to ask you Pilot Cooper; have you heard of the human colony of Demeter?" Hackett asked.

"Of course. Everyone hears of it."

He then punches in some coordinates, revealing the planet and a LOT of red and blue circles. "The Alliance 4th fleet spotted a massive fleet of Cerberus cruisers and one of their own dreadnoughts coming to the planet. The 4th fleet marks 3 days before their attack." Hackett replied, before zooming out to the entire system. "We plan to send the 2nd and 3rd Fleets in, along with turian and quarian reinforcements. What I'm asking of you is if the Deimos and any Dojo ships want to fight there. Bring anyone and as much as you can; damage this dreadnought and we could have a chance to get inside it." Hackett explained, the two representatives in the room nodding in agreement. [spoiler]Up to you, Roy. [/spoiler]

"Wait. Cerberus? One of our dojo members spoke with the Illusive Man."
-
"The Illusive Man? That's...strange o say the least. I thought he died when Cerberus died on Cronos Station..." Hackett said out loud to himself. "But even if he is alive, I don't think he would even go that low, to attack a massive human colony head-on...someone's after something on that planet." "Admiral, 4th fleet reports about thirty cruisers and the dreadnought had just left Thelum." One of the officers at her terminal had yelled out. Hackett looked toward Jack. "Up to you. If the Cerberus fleet already left Thelum, that'll give them less than 24 hours. Notify anyone you need to; our alliance is secured. Now let's see it in action. We're leaving in about 3 hours. Dismissed." Everyone who were on a fleet ran toward their ships and ports. Merrick pat Jack on the back before telling him to follow them.

[b]Jack turned towards Merrick, as if in a daze. He followed Merrick, mumbling to himself [/b]

Merrick seems to notice this, shrugging while Silesia seemingly looked at him worryingly. "Something wrong, Jack?" Silvia asks worryingly, as Merrick started mumbling to himself.
-
"Hmm?" [b]He quickly came back, looking over at her [/b] "Oh nothing just thinking."
-
"Okay..." the Asari replied, as they reached the dock. Everyone went in except Merrick, who pulled Jack aside. "Personal demons, I'm guessing? Something about the Militia and Demeter?" Merrick whispered to Jack.

[b]He shook his head, looking at Merrick [/b] "It doesn't feel right. Something about this. We had three days. And suddenly it went down to 24 hours? That doesn't just... [i]happen[/i] You know?"
