Day 21/22
After
the attacks on the ship we were able to find information about the STG’s orders
to assassinate Aliya. So we devised our own plan. The memorial was nice.
We
landed on Rannoch and commenced the much-needed repairs on the Phoenix. While
we were docked I was alerted to a situation outside. The commander had gone to
meet with President Tali’Zorah, so the message was relayed to me: someone had
murdered one of the crew. I quickly ran to the scene and found the LT impaled
by an I-beam. An I-beam! How does someone even think to do that!? I quickly
took one of the techs, Ariel I think her name was, that was one of the first on the scene to where he had
fallen and had her scan the area to see what she could find. We found that the
I-beam had been thrown biotically from across the shipyard. I brought Nienna
and Lúthien to the scene to check the readings; Lúthien deduced that red sand
was used, but that she had never seen red sand produce an effect that powerful.
Her mother, on the other hand, did. Who in their right mind would take a drug
like that? It’s an obvious suicide mission; this red sand was so pure that it
causes neural decay at an alarming rate. The Asari were able to trace the
biotic power of the assassin and we were able to bring him in, to the hospital,
for questioning. His mind was too far-gone to be saved, but we were able to
persuade him that Lúthien was an angel, and I was a demon and based on what he
told us was where he was going to go. It was fairly entertaining. He told us of
that the Council was suspicious of Aliya’s death and he was send to trick Joe
into meeting with her to verify the status of her death. This might have
worked, except the assassin was too brain dead to report back.
KQO
was able to alert those of us in the hospital that a signature of red sand was
approaching the hospital. We made preparations and were able to take her down
before she was able to inject herself with the drug. We took her back to the
Phoenix for questioning.
That’s
when we got the reports that a group of Salarians had opened fire on civilians.
We rushed out to the location to help them out.
