"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.

Ghost went off, presumably to make the call while the other Invictus Members mozied about
-
Soon enough, the second elevator came up, revealing the rest of the Deimos crew, mostly trying not to get squished. "You know...remind me to never breathe in one of these elevators." Silsia had said, almost jammed between two soldiers. "Duly noted. However, due to my lack of smell, I will be unaware of any unnatural smell." Peacekeeper said from the back, somehow having enough room.
-
The crew gathered back up, expect for Ghost strangely enough "Alright, so do we have barracks or?" Noble started, looking around
-
"A luxury apartment. You and the Deimos are my go-to crews. The soldiers are willing to sleep in other apartments across the planet...however, there's an apartment complex...Myriens Towers. Both you and them will have separate apartments. Proabbaly has enough beds for all of you." Anderson replied.
-
"Nice.... But I'll stay away from you guys." Scorched turned invisible and disappeared, nowhere to be seen.
-
"Well... that was certainly weird." Riley replied out of nowhere, her whips armed and ready. "Most of my men are ready to go over the plan. However, if you don't feel that you're ready, then we can hold off until later on.
-
"We're ready." Noble said, though it was clear the others weren't. Ghost was gone. Scorch was gone. Talath and Glitch were who knows where. Prophet was having a very robotic conversation with Peacekeeper, and the two sirens were leaning against the wall, bored out of their minds. The only ones paying attention were Noble and Serendipity.
-
"Get everyone in here." Anderson replied, as a few soldiers and N7 rushed to get everyone into the command room. -------------------------- At least a few hundred troops were within the room, including the Invictus and Deimos crew (that were there) as Anderson walked around the hologram of Arcturus Station. "I'm fully...aware that many of us might not make it out of this. But we're fighting so that every single damn civilian out there dosen't have to!" He says, earning cheers from the Alliance operatives. "Our mission is this; all remaining fleets are to provide cover for our small forces to get down there. The main 3 groups taking this Station are as followed; Alpha team will be lead by Major Coats here; he'll lead the most amount of our troops into retaking Arcturus Station. Bravo Team will be sent aboard Hackett's ship to rescue the Admiral and any survivors. Anyone up for squad leader?" Anderson explains, Vanguard Shep's hand shooting up. "Personally, I may not be this...um...universe's version of Shepard...but I'm sure as hell going to not try to ruin her reputation here." She replies, earning small bits of cheer from the younger recruits. "Finally there's Charlie team, who'll be lead by Lieutenant Commander Ashley Williams. She'll be in charge of following Alpha Team before attempting to wipe out whoever knocked down Arcturus's defenses." Anderson replied. "Ay ay, sir." Williams replied. "Good. Further details will be uploaded into your Omni-tools. Everyone except Deimos and Invictus, dismissed." Anderson had commanded, as most of the soldiers went back downstairs. "As for you guys....I can see that most of you are just in this for the loot." He replies, placing his hand upon some type of Omni-tool. It was loading, allowing them to talk amongst themselves.

"I'm here for the integrity of it all. Being honorable and all. Trying a new life." Noble looked over at Miranda, speaking genuinely "We're here for the loot." Lillith said, gesturing to herself, Maya and Scorch "I wish to do studies." Prophet told Peacekeeper, "My mistress wishes it."
-
"Agreed. I am here so I may study the data that could possibly be useful in case of a similiar attack." Peacekeeper agreed, Lia simply nodding in agreement. "I'd agree with Noble here; I'd rather want to restart my life from what my father forced myself and Oriana on." Miranda had said, moving next to Noble, resting her head on his shoulders. "To be honest, I'd just want to beat Cerberus's brains out until their complete and utter mush." Merrick had replied from nearby, Silsia comforting him. "Amen, brother!" Kayla Shepard (Vanguard Shep) replied from nearby, her and Kasumi relaxing on some boxes. "Then that's good..." Anderson replied, smiling like a proud father, as the wall opened up, revealing various weapons on the wall.

"Take your pick. Alliance found them scouted in space. Thought they should be yours after all you did." Anderson responded.

"We got ourselves cover-" Before Noble could finish, Lillith jumped forward and grabbed the Purple Dahl assault rifle, taking it to her spot. Maya grabbed the grenade launcher, taking that and Scorch grabbed the sniper rifle "Real classy guys" Serendipity said with a small sigh
-
"Heh...we have more of them where you came from...there were a lot on Arcturus Station, Vault 787, one of our colonies known as Mezhong even used to house a Reaper artifact, known as Project Armageddon. As far as the reports go, they sent it chucking out into the deep abyss beyond our galaxy." Anderson said, reverting back to grabbing his Avenger. "Once you're done here, rest up. We'll head out tomorrow." Anderson said, walking into the elevator with a few of his colleagues, leaving the Deimos and Invictus crew there, with a bunch of other Alliance personnel. "You'll need it."
-
"Will do..." Noble said solemnly as he looked around
-
Cryark lunged for another one of the Widows...and proceeded to walk away with it, a grin on his face. Riley and Lia both touched the Gjallarhorn at the same time. "Give me that, Quarian! I'm an N7; I outrank you!" Riley had said, only for Lia to come back with, "Since when did N7's outrank Quarian engineers?" The rest were trying not to laugh at this. Shepard and Merrick had already left for their apartment.
-
"Ladies, ladies. You're both beautiful, now stop the fighting!" Scorch said, stepping forward to break it up
-
Edited by A Stormy Dio: 5/30/2017 10:45:55 PM"Not until the bosh'tet stops fighting for this!" Lia replied, as the two accidently threw the launcher, heading toward Miranda and Noble. "Watch out!" Miranda replied, instinctively making her body glow blue, firing a stasis toward the Gjallarhorn. At the same time, Silsia appeared next to Lilith, her body glowing blue. "So...what's the idea of carrying these two back to the apartments? Knock em' out?"
-
"Huh? Sorry I wasn't paying attention..." Lillith said with a light chuckle, glancing over
-
"I asked if you wanna knock 'em out and get back to those places that Anderson mentioned?" The Asari asked Lilith.
-
"Yeah.... That could definitely work. As long as they stopped fighting." Lillith said, nudging Maya, who nodded in agreement
-
"Alright then..." The asari, launching a stasis toward Riley's direction, leaving the two women with the Quarian to deal with. "We're...just gonna meet you guys back at the apartments." Val replied, quickly scooting Cryark and Kasumi along. "So...you wanna watch the fireworks go off, or go back to the apartment?" Miranda asked Noble.
-
"Let's go watch the fireworks... It looks the apartment will be a bit packed." Noble said, putting his arm around Miranda Lillith and Maya sprung into action, putting Lia into a statis field to come her down. Scorch quickly left again, and Serendipity simply stood around awkwardly
-
Miranda simply put her head on Noble's shoulder, arm wrapped around him, as Silsia dragged both Riley and Lia back to the elevator. "Meet you guys there?" She asks. "I guess so." Ashley said, her and Kaidan appearing out of nowhere.
-
Lillith, Maya and Serendipity followed after Silsia. Ghost, Prophet and Iseph had all disappeared at one point or another. This left only Noble, holding his arm around Miranda's shoulder leaning his head against hers
-
"So...this just leaves the two of us, huh?" Miranda asked, smiling at their loneliness.
