"Affirmative. Follow my position." He replies, walking outside, before making its way down the hall, somewhat almost calm about the entire scenario.

Alex followed behind and the geth continued its path without resistance. They made their way up the staircase and to the tenth floor where they followed peacekeeper through the door. The entered a massive plane docking bay. There, there were many small jets parked and being loaded with a variety of packages. The group stood atop a grated catwalk which lead down to the ground. But the entire area was filled with security that was on edge..... "Alright...how do you guys wanna play this?" Alex asked the crew.
-
The Geth turned to Alex. "Multiple friendly signatures within the area. I will say that our reinforcements have arrived." The faint sound of a LOT of things landing filled up, as a uniform marching was heard across the bay. Vel cloaked, while Peacekeeper and Val hid behind cover, dragging Alex with them.
-
"Wait what the hell is going on?" He asked as they dragged him into cover. The guards noticed the movement and yelled to their comrades to get to cover, as they aimed their weapons.
-
"Wait...these signatures aren't Geth..." Peacekeeper said, as the marching came closer and closer to the giant main doors.
-
"What do you mean?!" Alex asked in a hushed tone. The men in the hanger began to fire at the invading force though the group could not see them...
-
"They seem to carry off some type of unknown signal..." the Geth replied, as the firefight between the unknown forces continued.
-
"But you scanned them as friendly?!"
-
"They seemed to be friendly, giving off a false signal. They don't seem to be shooting at us, so I tagged them as friendly!" The Geth yelled, as the sound of mechanized machines come in, firing high-fire rated SMGs at the enemy.
-
"You know what?! I'm sick of this shit!" He pointed towards one of the planes. "We're taking that out of here! Right now! Let's move!" He said as he sprinted down the stairs and hopped over the railing onto the ground level.
-
Bullets were pretty much everywhere as he went past the gunfire. The sound of a giant mech was heard, as an Atlas-class mech fired on a bunch of the bandits, supported by multiple women with swords (called Phantoms) and Assault Troopers armed with single fire rifles called the M-96 Mattock.

[spoiler]oh -blam!- it's Cerberus.[/spoiler] He sprinted behind one of the planes, and waved at the others to get the hell over to him.

Edited by A Stormy Dio: 2/25/2017 1:51:12 AMThey ran, although Val looked back to see a soldier carry around what seemed to be a probe...and on that probe was an A.I rendition of their leader... The Illusive Man. "Stand down, men. I want to talk to the Deity, as well as our compatriots without having to worry about." He said, a cigar in his hand, as most of soldiers stood down, minus those who were finishing the bandits. [spoiler];)[/spoiler]
-
Alex turned from the plane and raised an eyebrow at the FANTASTIC VOICE ACTING of the illusive man. He walked towards the prob, his Blade still drawn. "Well shit! Martin Sheen wants to talk to me? How can I say no!" He said.
-
"Martin Sheen? Never heard of him. Nonetheless though, there's a very good reason that Cerberus has, in fact rescued you..." he says, before looking Val's way. "I know where your old torturer has headed." He says, before continuing with, "She's lead her new Cerberus fleet to the gas giant of Thelum, in the Draconis Rift, near the Local Cluster and Earth. Show them." The Illusive Man commanded, as another soldier came up and put a giant hologram on the ground, revealing a galaxy map, before zooming in on a small planet. "If the Alliance, turians, quarians and the Dojo unite, they could be able to protect the colony of Demeter...which will be attacked in about two weeks time. Once the alliance is secured, Cerberus will try to kill anyone from the Dojo. You must be ready for that Deity. They," The Illusive Man explained, "will deal with the Demeter and alliance issue. You need to warn everyone you can about Cerberus. The most likely answer is they will capture you and either brutally torture or execute you."
-
"What? Why are you telling us this if your organization plans to murder us as soon as its pulled off? And who the hell is invading? You?" He asked, skeptically.
-
"Wrong. I've simply been trying to pull everything together again. Someone else has reorganized Cerberus and turned it against the Alliance, specifically." He says before turning to Val. "In trade for hiding my A.I core and allowing my soul to continue to live, I wouldn't end up hurting Lieutenant Hong or her allies. And that would include the Alliance and Dojo. I've continued and will continue to uphold that. However, this fake Cerberus could do the same." He explains.
-
"So we gotta stop em then before they screw shit up is that it?" He asked bluntly.
-
"About so. The fake leader of Cerberus, as I'm aware, is an old friend of Valeria, and has a grudge against the Alliance. I don't know who she'll specifically target first here, but my most likely guess she'll either torture them for information, execute them to set an example...or the most likely option, indoctrination." He explains. [spoiler]Basically, I'll have to ask first, but any casual post someone makes, I'll probably drop a few Phantoms, Nemesis to try to beat the up or something. Small post is all.[/spoiler]
-
"Well they'll have to really work at trying to take us out." Alex replied. He knew he would have to find a way to build an alliance with these people but the info he was given was hardly reliable. "And so what do you think will convince the alliance that they can trust you? Or the turians? Or the Quarians?"
-
"In a few days, the crew of the [i]SSV Deimos[/i], consisting of multiple representatives, would be going to the heart of the Alliance military to meet up with their leaders, potentially securing the Alliance." He responds, before looking to Deity. "For now, I need you to stay here and warn people about the Cerberus threat."
-
"Got it..." Alex said as he rubbed the back of his neck. He looked to the other three. "No imma need you three to help me with that! I'm not sacrificing my companies rep by looking like I'm batshit crazy all alone!"
-
"I'll stay with you." Vel said, looking toward Deity. "Might as well; wanna see what's changed since the last time I've been here." "Once all Dojo personnel leave Tatakai's orbit, I shall stay here and inform the Geth consensus of these actions." Peacekeeper replied. "I'll have to go to Arcturus Station; try to ease tensions the Alliance might cause." Replied Val. "Excellent. With the proper timing, we could stop this fake Cerberus from destroying the relationships of the galaxy and from complete dictatorship. Now...any more questions before we take our leave?" The Illusive Man asks.
-
"How hard would it be to bargain for some of your troops to join up with my organization...?" Alex asked.
-
"Depends on what your organization does. I could be willing to supply some of my own Atlas mechs and YMIR mechs for your support." The Illusive Man replied. "The Geth may also supply some troops and additional weapons for you." Peacekeeper replied.
-
"Nothing that would compete with your organization I assure you. I just need more soldiers to protect this planet is all."
