Day 5: House Call

Day 5

     Well, this mission has gone surprisingly well… Maybe it has something to do with the LT not being here. I guess I shouldn’t be so hard on him. His range of skills is starting to prove useful, without him I wouldn’t have gone unnoticed through the streets of Sur’Kesh without every surveillance vid picking up that Major Terryck Corinthus was deep in enemy territory.

With that, the Asari and myself left the crew aboard the Batarian vessel in search of this Dr. Zevan Re'lis. Coming off the ship we were greeted by a motley crew of mercs who were easily… persuaded by the daughter of Aria T’Loak and a superior officer to stand down, disarm their turrets and allow us to “clear the funds” for the “sale” of the Quarians with the doctor.

As we approached Dr. Re'lis’ house we were stopped by a troop of the local police force, which weren’t too keen on being assigned guard duty of this “nobody.” So Nienna, dressed in her dancing outfit (and looked totally hot! But I’ve learned to keep things professional and in check when on a mission, as a soldier should), slipped a little cleavage and persuaded the officer to let us pass by to take care of the doctor’s… needs. We then persuaded him to keep this visit unrecorded, you know, for the doctor’s privacy.

Upon entering the house we were faced with four armed Salarians, not much of a threat considering my training and accomplishments and two very powerful biotics. The Doctor rushes up babbling like only a Salarian could about this intrusion into his home. We tried our story about Aria taking over the Batarian’s shipment of Quarians, but that was apparently the wrong thing to say. The Salarians really don’t like the Shepard or anything connected to him.  So we had to resort to more… physical methods to apprehend the good doctor. I tackled him to the ground and knocked him out with a solid punch the jaw while Lúthien dominated the minds of the guards and had them shoot each other.

Having the doctor safely in hand, we contacted the Commander with the news and made plans to get the doctor aboard the ship. I suggested that Aliya create a holo of the life pods that were on the ship to, as the door was lowered, trick the mercs that our story was true and we could just fly in in one of the doctor’s spots cars (apparently Salarian scientists are paid extremely well) and fly away without ever having to fire a single clip. It would be genius and a flawlessly executed mission.
