Description Mass Effect Tesla


Zeta watched from the shuttles main window as the ship slowly docked with the Destiny, Zeta chuckled when he heard Delta’s mumbled curses as the shuttle settled on the landing pad, Zeta tried to get up, but the blood loss and shock was too much for his body to endure.



“Hey don’t you pass out on me Zeta, remember last time back in the academy, I told you not to drink that glowing purple drink, I had to drag your ass all the way back to your room” said Delta.



“How could I forget, those were the good old days, although having an alarm wake me up at six with a hangover wasn’t what I would call a fun wakeup call” chuckled Zeta.



Delta laughed and keyed a few commands into the shuttles door controls, with a hiss the door opened and four Asari commando’s walked in carrying a stretcher.



“And I thought you were bad Delta, how did he manage this?” questioned an Asari.



“Zeta here threw himself on top of a grenade, and for the record Eryna I have never blown myself up” replied Delta.



“Yet, knowing your luck you will eventually” joked Eryna.



Zeta lay in the stretcher, all he could see were the blurred images of lights passing overhead, nothing was clear, everyone was just shapeless blurs or white noise to him, but one thing he was sure of was that he was now in a medical room, Zeta grunted as his damaged armour was peeled off of his body.



Delta watched from the corner of the room, it reminded him of the time he was on an operating table, apart from he had felt everything, Delta sighed as he remembered that day, he had been scared, for once in his life he was scared, when he was on the operating table he knew he was going to die, and that he would never get the chance to carry on his life, have a family, grow old, but he was lucky enough to survive, Zeta’s injuries were only minor considering the circumstances, most of the shrapnel was deflected by his shields but pieces of metal still punctured his flesh.



Zeta shivered as tiny robots removed silver shards of metal, Asari medics applied medi Gel to the wounds after the shrapnel pieces were removed, he turned his head to the right so that the scene in front of him could not be viewed, as he did he slowly drifted off into unconsciousness.



Delta waited, after a few hours an Asari medic walked over to him and smiled.



“Your friend will be fine, the main cause for the shock was a tranquilizer dart we found lodged in his leg, apart from that the damage was minimal” smiled the Asari.



“A tranquilizer dart? I don’t even want to know how he managed that” chuckled Delta.



Delta walked over to the now conscious Zeta, Delta noticed the young Asari child next to him, and much to Zeta’s displeasure she was dabbing a wet cloth on his wounds, Zeta jumped off the table and looked around for his clothes.



“Found these on the shuttle, old alliance fatigues, look about your size, sorry about the armour, Delta has a spare set on the ship, I’m sure you can ask to borrow it” said an Asari medic.



Zeta nodded in reply and limped over to Delta who was talking into his omni tool, Delta held up one hand for Zeta to wait, with a few final words Delta finished his call and turned to Zeta.



“Well Zeta, while you were having a nap, I managed to procure some Intel for you, so to speak” said Delta.



“What he’s trying to say is that I did all the work, even if I am pregnant with his daughter” smiled Seryna as she snuck up on the two soldiers.



Delta nearly jumped out of his skin, Seryna was heavily pregnant, but even that didn’t stop her being silent as she crept up on Delta, Zeta noticed the SPECTRE badge and stood to attention and saluted Seryna.



“At ease Zeta, I’m not on duty, as you can see” replied Seryna as she pointed to her stomach.



“Sorry Ma’am, not used to meeting SPECTRE’s” said Zeta in a shaky voice.



“You’re not the first” replied Seryna with a wink towards Delta.



Delta rubbed his side, it only seemed like yesterday, the scorching hot flames, the warning lights and the constant drone of the emergency siren, Delta couldn’t remember exactly how long it had been since he was shot down during the reaper war in London, but every second of it was still fresh, Delta shook himself out of his trance and coughed.



“Follow me you two, and Delta please stop looking at me like that, if I feel any change I will know, so stop looking at me like a kicked Varren” Said Seryna as she strode down one of the ships many corridors.



Delta grunted and shook his head as they all walked down the corridor, Asari of all ages moved out of the three’s way, Zeta walked with his mouth open, he had never been aboard an Asari ship, everything was so elegant, every curve was perfect, the floor was blue as the sea and had luminous green lights running down its never ending path, the walls were graceful, all arcs that ended in beautiful curves like white roses, even the doors were graceful, not like the clunky alliance steel doors Zeta thought.



Zeta nearly walked into a door when he realized his young friend wasn’t with him, Zeta looked around hurriedly.



“Hey Delta, have you seen our young friend? She was with us in the medical bay.” questioned Zeta.



“Eryna took her off to the kitchens, poor thing hasn’t eaten for a while, she will be fine” replied Delta.



The three came to a halt at a set of white steel doors, with a silent hiss the doors opened into a large circular room, the room was alight with machines and screens, in the centre stood a large holographic display table, much like the one in the London N7 HQ Zeta thought.



“You needed Intel Zeta, or more specifically you needed people, I contacted Dale, he owed me a few favour so he spilled the beans, or I think that’s how you say it.” said Seryna with a thoughtful expression.



“Uh, yeah it is, but if this mission is going to work I’ll need a small team, an elite few members who are discrete” replied Zeta.



“Seryna is one of the best, well apart from the Shadow broker, which we will get to eventually” said Delta with a small chuckle.



“I have two operatives who you may find interesting, both can be found in the same system, one is a Quarian Engineer, she was kicked out of the Quarian twenty twelve military recruitment regiment, she managed to crack the Quarian’s defence network… accidentally, the other is a Turian, a retired Havoc trooper, he’s an expert at stealth, any questions??” asked Seryna.



“Um… no, actually yes, where do I find these two??” questioned Zeta.



“Both Vesta and Tactus can be found on the planet Eden Prime, they volunteered to help with the reconstruction of the planet, from what I hear it is a very nice place to be this time of year, on the down side though, Vesta is in a remote location in the snowy region of Eden prime, getting to her will be interesting, Tactus on the other hand seems to be everywhere, he’s looking for a way to get off world, so it shouldn’t be too hard to find him, I will upload all my Intel into your Omni tool before you depart, but first, me and Delta agreed you will need some new gear, come with me” said Seryna as she spun on her heel and walked over to a nearby door.



Zeta walked into the now open armoury, Delta stood behind him with a grin on his face, Zeta on the other hand was in weapon heaven, the walls were lined with all manner of guns, pistols, rifles, shotguns; everything was there, Zeta walked over to a silenced Mattock rifle and weighed it in his hands, with a satisfactory grin he placed the rifle on his back, one silenced pistol was added to his belt followed by a bandolier of flash bangs.



“Now all you need is some armour, you can borrow my old set… I guess” said Delta.



“Thank you, although it’s going to take me at least a week to get to Eden Prime with my shuttle” replied Zeta.



“No need, w'ere already here” said Seryna with a smile.



Zeta walked to the nearest window, below him was the earth like planet of Eden Prime, but something was wrong, there was allot of unusual lightning near the ice caps, Zeta sighed when he realized that it was not lightning, it was gun fire, and allot of it, Eden Prime was under attack.



“It seems Cerberus has beaten us to the planet…” sighed Zeta.
