"S....seren..dip...p...p..." Cryark barely got out before being knocked out, dropping his Barrager Rifle. "Serendipity-Turian, friendly Alliance reinforcements incoming!" Peacekeeper had replied, as the sound of multiple jumps was heard from the vast battle above space. Miranda looked back and realized that Noble was injured. "NOBLE!" She yelled, before a bullet lodged into her right hip, bringing her down near the Spartan. Val went up to the two, trying to lift either of them up. "Sir, reinforcements have been diverged for extraction, sir." Some Alliance soldier had said on the other end of their comms, as multiple ships jumped through to the hangar, two being very familiar... "Holy shit, it's the Normandy and Deimos!" One of the soldiers said, as both ships opened fire on the hangar, the Cerberus soldiers dropping dead. As a Hispanic-looking man jumped out of the Normandy along with a bunch of soldiers, Lia and Velinnea opened the door to the Deimos, firing their respective weapons. "Come on!" Vel had yelled out to the group. -------------------------------------- "Are you sure about that?" 'Jade' had asked, turning the chair around to reveal...well, [url=http://68.media.tumblr.com/ef6362452977b9d9b5dcd9bec4dc5f62/tumblr_n6eod9Qtgj1sj0sl6o1_400.png]her[/url], another Shepard, except for one key difference... Her eyes were glowing green, almost synthetic-like data flowing through her face. The Geth's one eyepiece on the bridge was also green. "Because last time I checked, Synthesis has allowed me to become a living God. These Geth bow to my every whim, no matter what; I'm their savior...unlike you, Kayla, who'd destroy the Reapers and for what? Taking out EDI and the Geth along with it? Cause mass genocide on every species in your Milky Way?" Jade Shepard explained, getting up from the seat. "Because of all this...because you decided it would be a REALLY good idea to go ahead and rescue poor Hackett when my true master is going after the Krogan and Aria....I'll leave you with an option...right, Master?" She says, before a hologram of a familiar man appeared behind them. "Agreed, Jade." The Illusive Man replied behind them as a hologram. "While you were busy dealing with the situation here, I've already planned the first stages of the return of the one thing that not even Shepard could've destroyed...so as she had said, I've given you a choice." He responds, Jade making a run for an escape pod, Ashley and Kayla on her tail. "You cold stop your friend from potentially killing another Shepard...or perhaps you'd like the Alliance to stay in one piece." He responds. "Don't overstay your welcome, Ghost." The Illusive Man disappeared, as two of the Geth were forced up to the bomb, pulling it out, as a small, controlled (for now) black hole laid in the center of it. The timer ticked 5 minutes until detonation. [spoiler]-Save Hackett and defuse the bomb. (???) -Stop Kayla and Ashley from killing Jade (???)[/spoiler]
