Noble: "Just don't go crazy or whatever."
[b]He looked over at Kasumi and Serendipity, more concerned about them [/b]
Noble: "You two alright? I didn't mean what I said, Kasumi."

"Duly noted. Unless Cerberus somehow made me a robot, I don't exactly think that I'm possessed, sir." Ashley had responded, saluting. "I'm fine. A few scratches at least, but alright. Where's the rest of them?" Kashmir asked, brushing herself out.
-
[quote]Kashmir[/quote] Noble: "Don't call me sir. Noble will do finely. The Turian over there is Serendipity. The others must be at the bridge, hopefully."
-
"Yes, Noble." She replies, as Kasumi uses her Omni-tool to lead them to...well, the bridge.

[b]Upon arrival, they see Scorch sitting in a chair with his feet kicked up onto a console. Talath is leaning against a wall, and Ghost is watching over the blonde woman he had knocked unconscious [/b] Scorch: "Bout time." Noble: "No thanks to you bums."
-
"Well...it certantlu feels like old times, isn't it?" Ash asked, an eyebrow raised to the group. "You know, it could really be worse. The amount of elcor I've seen that could somehow sing worse than vorcha still scares me...so about those missiles..." Kasumi had said, seeing what she could do.
-
Scorch: "Gonna use em to take down the dreadnought sweetheart. Don't get any ideas."

Edited by A Stormy Dio: 3/18/2017 3:14:37 AM"Well, this 'sweetheart' happens to already have a boyfriend, thank you very much. One of the missiles is jammed, so it'll be able to redirect at least one missile to the dreadnought." Kasumi had explained, hacking away at the console. Although, having the Batarians as potential allies.... [spoiler]-Allow Kasumi to redirect the missiles toward the Batarian Dreadnought, destroying it. (+30 Sword, +30 Shield, +40 Hammer, +25 Alliance Loyalty) -Steal the console from Kasumi and redirect the missiles to Scott, allowing control of the Batarian dreadnought. (+100 Hammer, +50 Hegemony Loyalty)[/spoiler]

Ghost: "Let's all slow down for a second. There's no reason to attack." Scorch: "Huh?" [b]Ghost pulled Kasumi away, and stood In front of the console, preventing access [/b] Ghost: "Do you guys not see how Cerberus betrayed the Batarians? This could be our chance to turn the tides! Get an ally on the inside." Noble: "But how can we trust them? Cerberus will surely Try to convince The Batarians it was us..." Serendipity: "Evidence. We use evidence. How can one crew eliminate a [i]whole[/i] ship." Ghost: "Than we'll hold it to a vote. All those in favor of saving the Batarians?" [b]Serendipity, Ghost and Talath raised their hands. [/b] Ghost: "Those against?" [b]Scorch and Noble raised their hands and Ghost looked to Kasumi and Ash, still watching the console to make sure no one tried anything [/b]

"So...you're willing to sacrifice human lives...for people who killed our ancestors during the Skyllian Blitz? I oppose. Even if Cerberus took them down, they need to get sent back down to hell." Ashley had said, leaving Kashmir to think about it. "So...an entire Alliance city...or the Batarians. That's a bit...hard, for once in my life." She explains.
-
Ghost: "History does not always define who we may become." Serendipity: "We could also try contacting the Dreadnought, speaking to them to help save the alliance area."
-
"That's kinda what I was thinking. Open a comm link." Kasumi explained, rushing to the console to allow the dreadnought to retreat. "I better hope me coming back from the dead was worth it." Ghost had heard Ashley mumble.
-
Ghost: "Yeah, I guess we'll see about that Ashley. As of right now, we're trying to save innocents on two different fronts, so I'd say it was worth it." [b]Scorch was baffled, rising up to his feet [/b] Scorch: "You can't be serious about this." Serendipity: "We are. Kasumi, how's it coming?"
-
"Well, they are arrogant. It'll take just a few minutes." Kasumi replied, using the console.
-
Ghost: "Just... Do your best okay? If it fails, it's on me." Scorch: "It damn well should be on you."
-
"Annddd....connected!" She replies, as an image of a batarian showed up. He seemed pissed. "What the f*** happened to my men?" The Batavian arrogantly asked.
-
Ghost: "I'll tell it to straight. Cerberus happened. They betrayed your men and killed them all."
-
"And why should we just trust you, human? How do we know you just aren't some merc on a paycheck?" The Batarian asked arrogantly.
-
Ghost: "I'm sure you know who we have here." [b]The Mandalorian gestured to Ash [/b] Ghost: "If we were Mercs on a paycheck she'd be dead."
-
The Batarian simply stood there, before he heavily sighed. "Fine...who are ya then?"
-
Ghost: "We're part of the crew, the Invictus. We're working with the Alliance, the Frontier Militia, The Turians, and The Quarians against Cerberus."
-
"Alliance..." you could hear the Batarian mumble. "Fine. Why should we care about Cerberus betraying our crew? We sti have you; if Terra Nova dosen't die; you could simply die." Responded the Batarian. [spoiler]-Convince him to help the Alliance. -Cut comms and fire both missiles at the dreadnought.[/spoiler]
-
Ghost: "Let me put it to you this way. We are in possession of this ship, which has the capabilities to blow your dreadnought away. We could destroy you, before you even had a chance to cut off the comms. If you wish to be blind to the fact that Cerberus is going to drop you, and cause a mass genocide to your species, than be my fúcking guest. I'm just trying to strike a deal, were more lives are saved."
-
"Yet those 'lives' happened to be the same ones who killed our species back during the Blitz! Our brothers need vengeance...and that's exactly what we're after, even if Cerberus massacres our species!" The Batarian had yelled [spoiler]-Fire on the Batarians Now -IDK[/spoiler]
-
Ghost: "History does not define who we can become! I'm trying to prove that to you by giving you a choice! You have the choice to help our cause, and forgive the past. Or you can help the allies that are massacring your people." Talath: "Those who do not learn from mistakes, are doomed to repeat them." Serendipity: "You have to see that If you take action against Against the Alliance, it will only lead to another Blitz! We're trying to avoid that."
-
The Batarian mostly stared at them for a few minutes...before proceeding to sigh. "Fine; I'll notify the Hegemony that we've failed. But don't blame me if they want to start a second war with the Alliance. Call us if necessary." He replied, before comms were cut. Ashley had her mouth wide open at that encounter, Kasumi looking slightly shocked. "...Well that was something." She responds.
