Day 17: The Day the Galaxy Went Mad

Day 17

     That was a nice reprieve. We landed at the station out in the terminus systems that my contacts provided to help us. We spent the time gathering information and supplies.
     Aliya and KQO used this time to gather the information I requested about Nienna. Aliya has some nerve in thinking to withhold, and convince KQO to withhold some of the information from me. She said that she withheld the information due to its private nature and she thought that I didn’t need to know it. I’m just going to have to trust that the Quarian is right, and that any of the information being withheld won’t harm my family. It is a hard thought to let that go, especially since we’ve really only known each other for such a short time. I can’t let anything happen to my family. And if anything does as a result from this… let’s just say that Aliya will never seen Rannoch again, or any other planet for that matter… but, I’ll have to trust my squad, that they’ll make the right decisions. We won’t accomplish anything if we are at each other’s throats.
     Also while at the station, I was approach by a Lieutenant from Palaven with some very disturbing news: Palaven is under siege by Asari forces, and the Council is behind the Asari action, the bastard of a Turian Councillor included. They say that a rebel faction of the Hierarchy has taken over Palaven and they are trying to ‘aid’ the situation, even worse, there are over a million Asari on Palaven and the Primarch is fairly certain that they are all commandos. The Primarch doesn’t want to start a war, as that would undoubtedly bring the Reapers in, which everyone would be glad if that was avoided.
     I presented this to the crew and we tried to think of a way to bring about a peaceful (well, as peaceful as we can) solution. KQO gained permission from the Relay AI to allow the relay in the Apien Crest to transport cargo ships from Irune to Palaven to alleviate the embargo. Lúthien was able to gather that the blockade around Palaven was overkill, as far as going four or five relays deep; and that the Asari republics were having a bit of a tantrum with respects to the Turian’s demands once I informed them of their actions on Omega. The Primarch asked me to find a way to expose the Council and essentially stop this madness and help the Turian people, and the rest of the galaxy from their depravity.

     That’s a pretty tall order, but I’m sure that this squad, these people, can do it.
