"We're going to that." Vel replied, pointing to a tower perched up ahead, the massive Alliance symbol stapled upon the tower.
"Yeah; military center's there, just in case Earth was no longer available." Merrick had replied. "We'd need to take a Mako to reach the small city near the tower...I think it was Axiom City, they called it."
Kasumi, Lia, Kaidan and Vel soon joined Merrick, along with the Invictus crew, a Mako being prepared for them by Alliance troops. Little children watched from afar, some with their parents.

"Wait, so this is our beachhead into the assault?' Maya's voice suddenly piped up from the back
-
"I'd guess. Anderson never gave us the details. Though I know that everyone should be here...minus the Krogan baby, of course." Merrick responded, as everyone would be entering the Mako to make the trip to the tower.
-
"Why do we not search for Anderson now? Would it not be more pivotal to gain his assistance?" Prophet's Geth voice chipped up besides Maya
-
"He's leading the fleets. He's just waiting for a few straggled fleets in the Attican Traverse to make their way here, and then we could start this damn plan." Merrick had said, the pilot of the Mako asking if everyone was good to go.
-
"So he's alive? At least there's some good news amongst this shit storm." Ghost said
-
"Yeah...Cryark, Silsia, Val...they all tell me that the Alliance is on their own on this one. No one's heard from Rannoch command since they rescued you, Lia. Turian's and salarians are fighting on the Citadel. Krogan are too busy wondering where Cerberus is there. I'd say we're properly f****d. Dojo and you guys...maybe the mercs...probably are our only chance at saving the Alliance." He responds, the Mako making its way through the mines surrounding the city. "Yeah...Ashley scared for her family on Eden Prime...Miranda's worried about her sister on Illium...I'm personally worried about the Dojo, Val and her family on Benning...even Cryark, with his family near all the damn fire on Palaven, or Silsia and her mother near the Ismae Frontier..." Merrick said out loud, most likely saying this from his heart...
-
"So what're you're saying is. We're all -blam!-ed, say goodbye to your loved ones. Great" Scorch said, rather morbidly
-
"These are dark times..." Merrick mumbled to himself, the Mako ride being mostly silent. "Hey; you guys, this is your stop!" The driver replied from his seat.
-
"Everyone geared up?" Ghost asked, looking around as there was a mumbling of agreement
-
"Good." Merrick replied, opening it. Hundreds of Makos were there, some treating their wounded; others were making a run for the tower; others sat back and talked, mostly about their own worlds and such. It seemed to be some sort of massive building of sort they were in. Lia and Kasumi gazed toward the window, the [url=http://orig12.deviantart.net/7e0e/f/2014/101/e/3/sci_fi_city_by_alex_ichim-d75cf5z.jpg]view of Axiom City[/url] showing itself. "For a city on the moon, this seems more or less...beautiful." Kasumi whispered.
-
"Seems like the slums." Maya said solemnly as she continued onwards, Ghost shaking his head in disapproval

Edited by A Stormy Dio: 5/22/2017 10:15:42 PM"Better than Tuchanka before the genophage was cured." A salarian civilian said from behind them. "Don't mind 'em; some salarians are still pissed after the krogans got to have their babies" Merrick replied. "I'm gonna meet with my crew in the tower. Anderson will give you guys until the remaining fleets get here. Should take around a day, he said." Merrick replied, saluting before entering n Alliance gunship with a few other Alliance Admirals and Kaidan, who silently saluted as well. "So...what's the plan?" Kasumi asked, Lia sighing. [i][u]Objective: Explore Axiom City or Head for the Tower.[/u][/i]
-
"It's pivotal we comprehend the plan. Me must move toward the tower." Prophet said "Yeah, that's true." Ghost, Serendipity and Maya were quick to agree "But we should also get a better understanding of this place." Chimed Scorch, with Lillith and Noble agreeing with him instead.
-
"I'd agree with Ghost; maybe we'd need to hurry; you know, not lose any more bodies?" Kasumi responded, Lia joining Scorch'e side. "For once, this bosh'tet over here's right. We might wanted a clearer view of the land before we charge in there."
-
"But maybe this isn't something we should delay?" Noble looked towards the city than around the group "Listen, We need to understand what we're going into. Not just attack and die." Ghost said confidently, stepping forward and taking charge "So we're going to go up that tower, figure out the world and kick some ass once we do." Scorch suddenly jumped into the conversation, cutting off Ghost's potential speech "Sounds great." Maya laughed slightly as the group made way for the tower
-
Kasumi and Lia both smiled, an Alliance Kodiak moving in to pick all of them up. Inside it, however... "Hey...I think I remember one of you. Citadel and all." A limp person had said, already sitting in the Kodiak which seemed to contain enough room for the crew, along with a couple more Alliance soldiers. Sitting next to him was what seemed to be some sort of synthetic...that wasn't a Geth.
-
"Oh yeah! Good to see you again.... Normandy Captain, right? Something like that?" Ghost said happily, extending his hand for a shake
-
The robot took it instead. "Would rather not shake. Vrolik's Syndrome, could probably break my arm by doing that. EDI, introduce yourself to these nice young soldiers." Joker said, prompting the robot to stand up. It said, "Hello." "It's my personal VI assistant." Joker replied, as Kasumi started chuckling out of nowhere.
-
"WAIT!" Serendipity shoved her way up through the crowd, staring at Joker "YOU'RE THE PILOT OF THE NORMANDY? Friend to Commander Shepard?" Serendipity was, having a mental breakdown to say the least while the others tried restraining her
-
Clearly, Joker seemed a wee bit surprised to the suddenness of Serendipity. "Yeah...your Serendipity, right? Invictus crew. And...then there's Ghost, Noble, Scorch, Iseph, Talath, Glitch, Gumball..." He listed off the Invictus crew before looking to Lilith and Maya. "...And who are you two?" He asks.
-
"I'm Maya. Nice to meet you. I'm new to the crew." The Siren said nicely, shaking Edi's hand "Sup Bitch?" Lillith Crossed her arms over her chest, staring at Joker "That's Lillith." Ghost chimed
-
"It is nice to meet you too, Maya." EDI responded, shaking the Siren's hand. "Oh god...Jack 2.0 is here." Joker said, Kasumi bursting into laughter. "That's what I said!" the thief replied. Joker looked back to Serendipity. "So...you a fan or something of the Normandy?"
-
"YES! I've been a fan since the original, and I've always wanted to be part of the Alliance. Join the crew one day. Unfortunately, I went the crime route."
-
"Huh...I've known that we were technically criminals after Shepard had the bright idea of blowing the Alpha Relay to smithereens. Probably allowed the Lennies to obliterate the Reapers and come here. You want an autograph? I mean...Kaidan, Ash...they were part of the original Normandy." Joker responded, a smile forming on his face.
-
"Yeah, but you're the pilot!!! Led Commander Shepard ac -" Scorch put his hand over Serendipity's mouth, silencing her "Sorry about that." Noble said with a small sigh
