“...should’ve known these suit-rats were nothing but trouble! The Geth appeared after you did!” one of the soldiers yelled, looking like an officer. Although no one here knew, X7A had already met him earlier.

“I thought that the Geth were contained! Binary Helix promised me you guys had the best security technicians and measures available! But no! Instead we were tricked into working with, with...” the huge Quarian said, lost for words, dismissively waving his arm at the soldiers, “...with inept idiot humans who don’t know anything about protocol!” the huge Quarian man yelled, he having such a deep, thick voice, and such a deep, thick accent, he was at times difficult to understand. He then took a step and leaned forwards, towering over the officer. “I am not responsible for your lack of duty! All the deaths of all your personnel are on your hands!”

“Don’t worry, you won’t have to be.” the officer replied, leaning back into the huge Quarian, then looked at his men. “Kill these sorry fucks!” the officer ordered, then he and his men withdrew their assault rifles, and the group of Quarians withdrew various SMGs...

Tatri immediately raised her shotgun, and Brazzi raised his Geth Assault Rifle...

Annie heard one of the computer had blow up and the shooting finally end. She breath with relief that the shooting was done for now. She weakly went out of her hidding spot. She saw a man going out of the room. She weakly followed him because she hopes he has the way to escape from this place. She saw heard a voice talking about their children and then more computers blew up. She was stood there in shock.

A few second later, she looked around the room and saw an Asari that looked like the one who captured her and saw a secret passage open. She really wants to attack that Asari for what she did to her but she was still very weak from using her new powers and in pain from the huge fall. She decided to hide in a conner so no one won't be seen to make a plan but close enough to get in that secret passage. -Dances-

Ryder

“Tch. Good riddance. ” Ryder uttered as the YMIR shut down. Though sudden, this fight was... unsatisfying for a warrior of his calibre. Taking several steps forward, he looked about for his next fight, and he found it atop the servers.

“ Well, what do we have here? ” Ryder said wistfully. “ Better not be another waste of my time. ”

Using his biotics to leap atop the Servers, he examined the scene before him. It seemed the Sexbot had successfully captured the blue bitch. Well, never send a man to do a wrenches work and all that, but that didn’t justify command wasting his time with this fruitless mission. Letting forth a throaty growl, he instead approached the terminal near the middle of the room. From what he figured, nobody would miss it.

As he approached the centre column, Ryder heard a mish-mash of voices taunting him, to which Ryder could only laugh scornfully. “ Aww, cute. The tin can thinks it’s self-aware. ”

The blue bitch blathered on for a bit before typing something into her omni tool. A "secret passage" revealed itself beyond a nearby pillar. Lying or not, whatever lay beyond had to be more interesting than this circus distraction.

“ You there. Blue bitch. Lead me to it. ” Ryder stated loudly as he faced the open doorway, utterly ignoring X7A's presence in the room. A bloodthirsty grin crossed his lips. “ I trust I don’t need to spell it out this is the only way you’re getting out of here alive. You seem like a smart wrench, after all. ”

Enough.

That was the thought passing through X7A’s mind when whatever was behind this tried to take control of her again, and the closest thing to the symptoms of the emotion that she knew from observation to be called annoyance. Was this what it was like when she showed up? She answered that immediately; no, it was not a comparable situation. This was minor; she still had control, her systems adapting to and rejecting the foreign presence. If it was to be compared, then she would need to be powerless against this foe, and that did not appear to be the case.

Her mental processes recognized that this being seemed to be trying to convince her further - or rather had been the entire time - by using a strange combination of names that seemed to be based on her true identity. It was useless, of course; X7A had seen the logs of her project, and her identity was no different there than what she was known to the government as. This was meaningless obfuscation, for it would accomplish nothing. An entity like this was dangerous to all, and as such the directive was that it needed to be destroyed. This fact was all that mattered.

It was because of this that it was necessary to go along with the asari from earlier. While X7A still did not trust that the actions of this asari were to their benefit, what she said about targeting whatever this was seemed to be logical. It would explain why she had assisted X7A in entering this facility, and why she had appeared now. There was a large advantage in aligning oneself with powerful individuals that held similar goals, as well as no reason to put oneself at the risk that this did without having such a goal in mind. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

The possibility existed in equal measure that this asari was attempting to lead them into a trap, but since the order was given for them to pursue this there was little choice remaining. There was only a single lead that they had, and it was standing right in front of them. Ryder was already threatening her - as had been expected; the instability of this operative was slightly concerning, as he could be removed with little to no effort or danger - but given the asari’s disposition X7A knew this would have very little effect.

All she added was, “
What information do you have about this entity?
”

As always, the answers would be passed along automatically to her Operator. Everything that was known would be known by all, in order to give them as much of an advantage as they could obtain. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.

London

There was a commotion down the hallway, and another student yelling at them to get going. What was with the big rush for the toilet? Did it have something to do with the sprinklers? Well, now that they mentioned it…

Feeling a tug on their sleeve, London was reminded of the presence of their friends. Grasping at their wrists, London tugged them back up onto their feet.

“ Thanks… ” they both muttered weakly.

London’s attentions were focused elsewhere. “ Someone ought to tell those people there’s a toilet over here too .”

--

The group travelled through the hallways, with London leading up front. Marching on without a care in the world, the questionable number of students followed behind. Each in the throes of their own worst nightmare, they could only envy London’s cheery attitude. Perhaps a more rational mind might be a little more rattled at how calm she was; did she even know what was going on?

They eventually reached the subway, with London chugging their way forward into the midst of a commotion. Running straight between the Quarrians and the Security, London paused. Looking about, London suddenly found themselves within the firing line of several barrels.

“ What’s going on here? ” London asked, utterly perplexed. Not at the guns, of course – London had no inkling at what the men were holding in their twitchy hands. The thing that caused London to pause for thought was the sudden change of mood in the room. Everyone was yelling, and it was generally unpleasant feeling all round.

Bumping a fist onto their palm, London's brain managed to put two and two together. There was only one solution that came to mind that could conjure such a tense situation...

“ Sorry, you're you all waiting for the toilet too? ” London continued. " I know you're all constipated, but you have to wait in line! "

It was entirely possible that perhaps the Quarrians and Security were willing to shoot through an innocent schoolchild, or a variety of other instances that could interrupt this truly... inspirational speech.

Mainframe - Annie, Ryder, X7A

While Annie hid, Ryder and X7A spoke to the Asari. Although Annie’s attempt to hide could work against the Asari and maybe Ryder (who may have heard Annie apologize earlier), X7A’s sensors detected the child.

The Asari slightly cocked her head, naturally having a drugged look to her eyes, and a dreamy face. She bit her lower lip, made eye contact with Ryder, and sucked in air sharply.

“I am the wrench, and you the nut.” Morinth remarked with a voice lower and slower than usual. Whether she meant that as a pun or not was anybody’s guess.

The Asari then looked at X7A, and took a few steps toward the little thing, a little extra bounce in the Asari’s gait and hip sway. The position of her eyes suggested that the Asari was checking out X7A’s features.

“My name is Morinth. You’re one of the most interesting people I’ve seen for quite a while, that’s why I played the guards coming down here. As for this AI we’re dealing with... she’s not entirely an artificial intelligence. She is actually an Asari matriarch hooked up to a sentient data access network, which was made on a space station orbiting Saturn long ago. It was transported to Area 51 a few dozen years ago.” the Asari explained, then looked at Ryder, giving him a satisfied smile and tilting her head.

“She is Matriarch Zerasar... her mind and Biotics are capable of synthesizing with computer systems, databases, holographic mediums, and who knows what else. Not only is she a supreme Biotic, but she is also a Metamorphosed. I would suggest you watch your mouth with her, she’s quite the... nasty mommy.” Morinth warned.

Morinth stared down the secret passage, then back to X7A and Ryder.

“But there is no time to talk right now. If you want more answers, first, we need to get out of here. If we hurry, we might be able to catch a train, and get out of this place before it burns down. There are many illegal railway systems, and being so far underground, is our best chance at reaching Matriarch Zerasar undetected. Nevada, Las Vegas, is our next destination. I hope you like gambling.” Morinth said, then hopped down the shaft, an aura of Biotics appearing around her body and illuminating the passageway.

* * *

The secret passage was crude (like everything else in this damn facility), consisting of a concrete maze infested with wires and cables. However, it took Morinth, Ryder and X7A (and Annie, if she was following) directly to the evacuation muster point. They overhead gunfire, and smelled smoke.

X7A’s sensors detected ADVs nearby, most certainly in the train they were about to commandeer.

“X7A, this is Michael.” Michael’s voice radioed to X7A and Ryder, “So far, all attempts to connect to this... Asari-enhanced Biotic AI... or her mainframe, have failed. I will continue further attempts at cracking Zerasar's mainframe, hopefully before the fires consume it. Regardless, your mission’s priority is working with Morinth in locating and eliminating Zerasar and the sentient data network she is connected to. I have uncovered additional information about the sentient data network, but now is not the time for explanation. Michael out.”

“This way, quickly, let’s go!” Morinth said, jumping down a ventilation shaft that was (definitely intentionally) left uncovered. She landed atop a train, but since it was rumbling, would probably start moving pretty soon.

“What the hell was that?” a distorted voice demanded.

“Deplorables! Engaging hostiles!” another distorted voice shouted, and immediately, holes began popping through the roof of the train wagon.

“Aw, shit!” Morinth cursed, dancing to get out of the way of bullets underfoot.

At this cabin, two roof hatches opened up, and two ADVs each with an N7 Typhoon appeared at either hatch, machine guns ready to fire...



Ryder and X7A,

Board the train however you wish or react to the situation: you can smash through the windows, jump down a hatch elsewhere, attack the machine gunners, or do whatever you feel is best.





Evac Muster Point - London, Noah

As the Quarians and ADVs were in the instance of opening fire, the citizenry running for cover, suddenly out of nowhere, London waddled between them. In that moment, many of Maal’Lok’s retinue, and the ADVs, hesitated. The Quarians and ADVs elsewhere took the advantage and opened fire into their targeted enemies.

Being so short, London probably heard bullets whizzing overhead, and a few Quarians groaned and hit the floor, whilst a few ADVs knelt from pain caused by their suits being damaged from gunfire.

“Firing a high impact shot!” Tatri shouted, blasting a powerful projectile out her shotgun, which got Maal’Lok’s attention.

The giant Quarian, feeling bullets bouncing off his armour, quickly grabbed London by the legs, lifted it off the floor, then threw it away somewhere. London cartwheeled through the air, dodging several bullets, and landing somewhere with a splat.

Maal’Lok spun around, opening fire back at the ADVs while receiving returning fire, Tatri’s high impact shot hitting a crate and breaking it open, spilling out sticky liquid of some sort.
