Day 6
Well this is just great! All our carefully
laid plans gone to waste all because of a stupid Krogan and the Commander’s
inability to avoid a firefight! Doesn’t he know that there is a time and place
for fighting and that sometimes you need to just play it cool and complete a
mission without violence? If he had just waited for us to get there and just let
us in all of this would have been avoided! But, I can’t actually say any of
that to, or about my Commanding officer, I’ve worked too hard to be
court-marshalled, especially by the Alliance.
So let
me explain a bit further. While we were out, after relaying our message and
getting the holos up they decided to open
the cargo bay while we were still 5 minutes out! Who in their right mind
would open a door, on Sur’Kesh with a paranoid Krogan and a bunch of Salarians
who were ordered to pick up the cargo, so naturally as they go to board the
ship and collect the cargo the Krogan goes ballistic a drops one of them right
then and there! Which of course leads to an all out firefight on the cargo bay
door as they rush to close it and trap the Salarians in. The LT, for all his
skills and agility, decides it’s a good idea to get K8 to toss him into the fray! That man would build a house in an
Invictus jungle if anyone would. One minute you think he’s great, then the next
you wonder how he survived zero-G training. Anyway, the battle raged on, with
the obvious outcome of our victory. I guess the repercussions won’t be
disastrous; only three Salarian mercs dead, and we got the doctor out hopefully
unnoticed.
The Asari and I pulled into the cargo bay full
of carnage and unconscious Salarians. Nienna quickly, before adding the
contents of her stomach to the carnage, ran to change into something more
decent. Meanwhile, K8, obviously unused to skycars opened the trunk (which lies
beneath the car) causing the good doctor to slam onto the blood-slick floor. With
him yelling and generally fussing about his situation K8 gave him an ultimatum:
shut up and answer our questions, or get shoved back into the trunk. He quickly
shut up and was not very forthcoming with his answers. Braxis, our
ever-so-polite Krogan brute, made some off-hand comment about the taste and
quality of Salarian livers which very quickly rendered Dr. Re’lis unconscious.
We really need to keep him away from our prisoners… We did learn, however, that
most of his research was on his ship, and Aliya, in all her tech wisdom, stripped
his omnitool and located this ship. And that is our next destination.
P.s- it isn’t wise to gamble
against Aria T’Loak’s daughter, especially for a skycar. Let’s just say it wasn’t
my best game of Skyllian Five…
