Day 4: Batarian Slavers

Day 4

We arrived in the Pranas system after many hours of training. I hadn’t realized the extent of skills this team had. This is good. We might actually have a chance completing this mission. The Asari, although, might complicate things if they keep using stims. I don’t know if I can handle all their giggling and giddiness. It’s unbecoming of soldiers, especially of their rank and prestige. I guess just because they have a thousand-year lifespan doesn’t excuse the younger ones from behaving like, well, young girls.
In any case, getting to the Pranas system was the easy part. The Ocular Surveillance Systems of the Salarians, thankfully, don’t extend much farther than their moon from Sur’Kesh, allowing us to slip into the system undetected. Landing on the planet, however, is going to be the trickier part. A quick scan of the system revealed a few merc ships that we might be able to… expropriate and smuggle ourselves onto the planet. A closer scanning of one revealed a few interesting things: 1. It was a Batarian vessel, and 2. There were sixty Quarian life signatures aboard. Needless to say Aliya was the first, and strangely vehement, to suggest that that was the ship to board. I’ve never seen her so violent, I think it was wise that the Commander shoes to take that ship.
Aboard the ship we split up, the Quarian, Krogan, an Asari and the LT went down to the cargo hold, while the other Asari, the Geth, the Commander and myself went to the cockpit to deal with the Batarians there. Opening the door K8 was blasted back, it’s a good thing it is made of metal or it’d be toast! It then grabbed the unfortunate Batarian and threw him back. Nienna then took one out with a biotic lash, leaving the last two to be easily picked off by the Commander.
The other group had no problems taking down their targets. It appears that the Quarian signatures we picked up are in stasis pods, and they have been in stasis for 177 years! After interrogating one of the Batarians, and learning very little aside from the fact that the Salarian doctor we are after hired them, we opened the Quarian Captain’s pod. It is an understatement to say that he was severely shocked and disoriented. Having never come into contact with the human race and not knowing about the Shepard’s resolution between the Geth and the Quarians I guess can take a while to get used to.

All we have to do now is to smuggle ourselves onto Sur’Kesh. This should be fun.
