"Right...I'll go ahead and get Maya to safety...you guys go ahead and...do whatever." Val replied, walking with her kid toward some kid-friendly area, leaving the Asari and the pilot there. Running forward to them was some sort of woman in a purple and red dress, with one of the hovering cameras and a microphone.
"Khalishah Bin Al-Jilani, Westerlund News." She says, extending a hand to the two.

"Huh. That was fast." [b]Jack looked down at the half finished dish as he rose to his feet and followed the Asari [/b]

Edited by A Stormy Dio: 2/25/2017 1:33:29 PM([i]About 15 minutes of walking later)[/i] The two opened the door to see about five people arguing. Three were recognizable; Hackett, Cryark and Merrick. The third seemed to be the turian representative, Primarch Victus, who seems to be the only one who noticed the two, nodding to join them. The fourth one seemed to be the quarian representative, Admiral Koris, who seemed to be pointing toward Hackett, explaining something about 'resources in the area' and 'the Militia'. Victus leaned in to both their ears, saying "To be honest, I'd rather be on the front lines right now, Pilot, but considering your people could help us in some way, I'd be willing to stick through Hackett's speeches and Koris's complaining."
-
[b]Jack nodded slowly, remaining silent as he watched the scene [/b]
-
"...ended up with a civil war with the Geth!" Koris stated. "Admiral, you know that the Geth had been willing to cooperate against Cerberus since the Battle of Rannoch ended." Hackett stated. "I know...just, with the information that we were sent about their 'Project Overlord'...." Koris began saying, before everyone moved their eyes to Jack and Silsia. "Sorry for the delay, shall we begin?" Hackett asked everyone. "Alright, Pilot...a simple concept. Tell us your demands first. What do you want to get this alliance together?" Victus asked, all eyes on him.
-
"As much as I hate to say it... I know you have priorities. With your little war going on. The Militia requests aid in their battle against the IMC. That's it. We just want to be able to live freely." "As for the dojo side of the spectrum, we have the old dojo fleet. Which has since, been shut down. If possible, we'd like to reinstate those fleets and assist you with your battles."
-
"That...could actually work. We can't provide you the might of the Turian's major fleets, but we could provide you some of our ground power and scout flotillas." Victus agreed with. "As well as I. Again, the Migrant Fleet is the only fleet power we still have, however some of our engineers could be willing to upgrade not only the Dojo, but also these so-called 'Titans' that you have. Maybe even build new ones for you. At the very least, we can help amp the shields and weapons. Also... we found these in a pod floating along the Phoenix Massing. Might be related to you." Koris responded, throwing three cards Jack's way. One showed three Spectres, one with a blue circle, another with a yellow, and a third with a red. The second showed a picture of a Militia Atlas Titan. The final showed the Sidewinder Anti-Titan weapon, with a blue glow over it. "And of course, we'll provide the 12th Alliance Fleet and some of our own ground forces onto your services." Replied Hackett. "Anything else?" Koris asked. [spoiler]In other words, the Quarian General have you three burn cards from Titanfall 1.[/spoiler]

"As I said, the dojo will give you what ships they have. All we need is the positions of where you want them."
-
Edited by A Stormy Dio: 2/25/2017 7:20:34 PM"That'll be discussed later. Just move some of your ships to the Citadel in the Serpent Nebula for the time being. However...know that once your ships attack the Asari, they will be aware that you'll be at war with them along with the rest of us." Victus said. "All that we ask of you is our cooperation and permission to send our militaries to Tatakai if need be." Hackett explained.
-
"Than it is granted. Along with that, you have access to several refueling stations that were able to set up in the system."
-
"Of course...then this alliance has been settled. There...is a second reason I've brought you here. The turians and quarians have already agreed to give troop and air support, but I just need to ask you Pilot Cooper; have you heard of the human colony of Demeter?" Hackett asked.
-
"Of course. Everyone hears of it."
-
He then punches in some coordinates, revealing the planet and a LOT of red and blue circles. "The Alliance 4th fleet spotted a massive fleet of Cerberus cruisers and one of their own dreadnoughts coming to the planet. The 4th fleet marks 3 days before their attack." Hackett replied, before zooming out to the entire system. "We plan to send the 2nd and 3rd Fleets in, along with turian and quarian reinforcements. What I'm asking of you is if the Deimos and any Dojo ships want to fight there. Bring anyone and as much as you can; damage this dreadnought and we could have a chance to get inside it." Hackett explained, the two representatives in the room nodding in agreement. [spoiler]Up to you, Roy. [/spoiler]
-
"Wait. Cerberus? One of our dojo members spoke with the Illusive Man."
-
"The Illusive Man? That's...strange o say the least. I thought he died when Cerberus died on Cronos Station..." Hackett said out loud to himself. "But even if he is alive, I don't think he would even go that low, to attack a massive human colony head-on...someone's after something on that planet." "Admiral, 4th fleet reports about thirty cruisers and the dreadnought had just left Thelum." One of the officers at her terminal had yelled out. Hackett looked toward Jack. "Up to you. If the Cerberus fleet already left Thelum, that'll give them less than 24 hours. Notify anyone you need to; our alliance is secured. Now let's see it in action. We're leaving in about 3 hours. Dismissed." Everyone who were on a fleet ran toward their ships and ports. Merrick pat Jack on the back before telling him to follow them.
-
[b]Jack turned towards Merrick, as if in a daze. He followed Merrick, mumbling to himself [/b]
-
Merrick seems to notice this, shrugging while Silesia seemingly looked at him worryingly. "Something wrong, Jack?" Silvia asks worryingly, as Merrick started mumbling to himself.
-
"Hmm?" [b]He quickly came back, looking over at her [/b] "Oh nothing just thinking."
-
"Okay..." the Asari replied, as they reached the dock. Everyone went in except Merrick, who pulled Jack aside. "Personal demons, I'm guessing? Something about the Militia and Demeter?" Merrick whispered to Jack.
-
[b]He shook his head, looking at Merrick [/b] "It doesn't feel right. Something about this. We had three days. And suddenly it went down to 24 hours? That doesn't just... [i]happen[/i] You know?"
