Watching the decrease in the size of local luminaries, Shepard thought of Tali. Quarian matured, got rid of youthful, immature of love in it, Shepard, though ... something in her attitude to the exec is still talked about the fact that it ... continue to love him, but the other, a mature and complete love. Love, it is quite possible, being grateful for what he is, John Shepard, does not play with her feelings, does not seek to use its attitude in their selfish interests of men. As has always been the distance contributed to check the depth and strength of feelings, especially such as love. Shepard knew that, and he loves Tali. Well, she survived, well, that returned to the fleet, it is good that it is there favorite work, which it is given with all the ardor of youth. It took very little time, but thanks to the vigor Tali Navy a lot of positive changes. Young quarians got their leader and believe in that and they have other tasks and activities, leaving far behind the notorious Pilgrimage on the significance and importance. Now, not every young quarian broke with Navy ships somewhere unless absolutely necessary, which can significantly save resources. Young people find jobs on the planet, said housing spectrum as those that were not in someone else administered. Mining, processing, organization, construction, operation, curtailing temporary settlements and bases on these planets, participation in large-scale war games training on improvised landfills. Quarians preparing for war against the Reapers. Prepared by understanding - they are objectively weak against the "shrimp"
Little Mick star system has two planets and two asteroid belts. A small hydrogen-helium giant Eloi formed around the nucleus, consisting of metallic hydrogen, at the end of this year, promised to be a place of rare astronomical phenomenon. Comet Asaro had to pass so close to the giant that according to the calculations it will be captured by the gravity of Eloi and turn to his companion. Already, dozens of scientific satellites and probes hung in orbit the gas giant prepared to fix the circumstances of the process of measurement and research. Satellites and probes, as is proved by telemetry, belonged to a variety of races. Himself Eloi turned to "boundary freezing" where, as confirmed by observation, gas giants with icy nucleus is usually not formed.
Acquainted with a short report on the ongoing detachment system surveys, Shepard spent starpomovsky bypassing frigate. Such detours are always contributed to the establishment of peace of mind - a common promotion of the ship, get acquainted with the work of numerous systems and devices, testing equipment, control test kits reserves, exchange of views with experts.
Services intercept cruiser and frigate, cruiser noted in their reports the presence of a large number of distress calls, and Synthetic confirmed that the area has a very mobile and well equipped pirate gangs. The authorities do not conceal the fact of his weakness, posted a standard warning in the Extranet that the area should be wise not to appear without an armed escort in order to avoid death or kidnapping, believing to be expected, in this its mission accomplished. Yes, such a warning has been like it is enough for most sentient beings, because nobody voluntarily looking for trouble. And what about those who could not escape the system for a variety of circumstances? How to deal with those who could not hire them armored and armed ship and even fork over a dozen other professional mercenaries? These are the questions the authorities did not want to, and could not answer.
The appearance of two warships fighting pirates calmed somewhat, adept in assessing threats, but none of otryadovtsev no doubt - is the ships to leave the system - and all will return to the previous "order." Fortunately for those of reasonable, someone brought in during his stay there, "Volga" and "Normandy" Troop ships were in no hurry to leave the system, and the power of their radars and scanners clearly gave the pirates understand that it is not necessary to behave brutally and unnecessarily rock the boat, as the price paid for these movements can be fatal.
Reading in his cabin-cruiser frigate reports on ongoing investigations, Shepard thought that evolution gave rich opportunities for self-realization. For example, following the Eloi, another gas, a conventional hydrogen-helium giant, called the Duma, had fifty satellites, which include the moon Anafel, has significant biological potential. So, really dead worlds in the Galaxy, yes, probably, and the universe is not so much. The question is, what kind of world considered dead. And what is the reason to see the placement of each celestial body in a particular star system. Duma as confirmed by scanning and of locating, was similar to the Eloi and initially, the researchers believed was also originally in the system, and was drawn by gravity local star.
Stationary studies conducted usually when ships were drifting or maintained relative immobility, in a system where there were two asteroid belts, do without, naturally, it was impossible. Therefore, guided by the results of a system-wide scan and of locating, it was decided to pay close attention to a few celestial bodies are found in the composition of the asteroid belt. Scanners and locators familiar reported composition of many asteroids, which could be useful for the same quarians. Information about the geology of the asteroid belt left in coded form on the fleet and the squadron went to Farlasu.
The first of the three asteroids, formed, as it turned out, around the core, consisting of the zero element, Farlas allows for a relatively simple and low-cost production of a valuable material. Bark Farlasa consisted of carbon compounds, minerals containing water and organic carbon as gerogena. If a neighboring system comes already surveyed at least part of the Migrant Fleet ships, in this system, too quarians not hesitate to look to restock all kinds of mineral resources. According to the Code of Navigation quarian ships here quite often mined for fleet fuel.
The second asteroid, also formed around the nucleus of the element zero was Kokabel, the bark of which consisted of various clays and carbonates, liquid water with amino acid impurities was deeper. Quarians There were also frequent guests - the planet's surface was pitted miner equipment with which "skafandriki" removed the zero element.
The largest of the three asteroids, possessed the nuclei of element zero, Israfil, was extremely rich in silicates. Troop ships approaching the asteroid approached the ship drifted here "Manila", the crew and the team which had to inspect all ships to leave from Israfil. Squad Command talks with the commander of the "Manila" has received instructions and guidance on staying safe near the asteroid. Equally significant difficulties were due to the fact that for some, albeit highly controversial figures, it is here that was created based on prions kind of biological weapons - AER (atypical humanoid encephalopathy). After reviewing additional data provided by the trio Synthetic, Shepard noted that the first traces of the use of these weapons have been recorded during the attack of the terrorist group " Scientists almost unanimously stated that in Israfil no atmosphere to sustain life, or evolutionary history at least to the level of prions, but their statements routinely paid too little attention. All the miners who worked at the time of an investigation on an asteroid, were quickly quarantined. This action was to convince the public of the Milky Way, that the Alliance stands out and will not permit the spread of such dangerous weapons of the galaxy. At that time, by the way, it was known that water Israfil lived about forty species of microorganisms.

Warships did not fall under many restrictions, so that the crew of "Manila" only followed by a frigate, cruiser and cruiser clearly fulfill the basic requirements of safety rules, and to implement a set of core studies, moving away from the asteroid.
Ahead of the Troop as planned Paz was a system where there was only one planet. Yavik nervous - taels gave information about him that are already placed on the planet Gorvug was some artifact containing Prothean data. Missed an opportunity to pick up the artifact and then deliver it to the IL, Yavik did not want under any circumstances, so Titov and Anderson agreed on the need not only to examine the Groove system, but also to carry out the landing on the planet Gorvug.
A few hours and a frigate, cruiser out after a short transition between on Gorvuga orbit systems. Watching as two shuttles are sent to the planet, Shepard read from the reader information on Gorvugu. Most Vault noted that in the year 354 was transferred Gorvug krogan race - no one else did not agree to live in this "mёrzlom stone." Technically Gorvug already been ascribed to the inhabited worlds, since along the equator was available for vegetation and animals were carried out in the seas of the planet. By the end of the century krogan fully adapted to local conditions, building a set of residential and industrial underground bunkers, the birth rate was growing, but later predatory reptiles did not deter mining the resources in a safe framework - Gorvuga coral reefs have been destroyed as a result of the barbaric pollution and poaching fish. Not managed to survive on a planet with a biosphere emaciated, krogan left the planet, causing discontent tsitadelskih inmates who could not, however, nothing to oppose the request lizards look better habitat. Since then, the Citadel Council Gorvug used as a visual proof of the inability of krogan independently control their own population.
As shown by scanning and of locating, in fact it is in the official reports krogan Gorvug completely abandoned. For tsitadelskih inmates so perceive the surrounding reality was much easier. Really krogan were left on the planet, won over the truly ubiquitous coos and do attacks on objects belonging to a wide variety of corporations, especially those where you can get something to eat. Trying to bring eco-engineering Gorvuge able to grow here culture, corporations were forced not only to establish the supply of these professionals with all the necessary, but also to create a state of armed mercenaries, can give an effective rebuff starved lizard.
Perhaps transforming anyway krogan salarians made some big mistakes, eventually getting a race, each family which was able in a short time to produce hundreds of offspring of light, and those in turn, growing and evolving, regularly destroyed in the district all capable of becoming food voracious dinosaurs. Huge by the standards of most races size and considerable weight did krogan highly dependent on the richness of the diet and its adequacy in terms of nutritional and.
Alenko provided Yaviku safety during removal of the artifact - not one of the dozens of hungry krogan rinuvshihsya was the place of landing shuttles, not left out of the area alive. Cops paratroopers led by Jenkins and Alenko got another real battle experience - krogan respect only force, warrior skills and weapons, so that the Marines Corps could make a deadly lizards imbued respect for the guests of the planet. Proteanin placed the artifact in his cabin and began his studies, temporarily putting aside the implementation of the plan of studying the contents of the obelisks.
Work on combing stellar systems was the present routine. And each of Otryadovtsev overcame her routine, a negative impact on its own. Yes, it was good to know that there is not in the short nor in the long term no complicated landings, all the research areas and celestial bodies can be carried out remotely. Otryadovtsy processed received data, creating a set of recommendations, and fixed the problems and questions that should draw the attention of competent professionals who formed part of the set of structures created by intelligent inhabitants of the Milky Way.
Shepard went on to recall the events of the past, in the memories of finding something very important for himself. Svetlana he spoke by video link, not wanting to enjoy the rights of a senior officer of the frigate and fly on a cruiser, when many of his teammate Extranet content with audio channels. Svetlana knew her husband spirit and reproached him for what he's limited to such remote communication. It was nice to know that Shepard about her always remember, never forget to call, talk, ask her opinion of the state and the health Selezneva commander of the cruiser. While it was possible, Streltsov was in no hurry to take off her numerous responsibilities fully warship hostess - watch and watch in the Central, detours, participate in the services and departments of the cruiser continued to occupy time, Svetlana,
Noting that the squadron performed a turn on the course laid near several colonies Terminus, Shepard retired to his cabin, located on the bed, dim the lights to a minimum, absorbed in memories. Before hanging up on the daily routine was still a few hours to waste time doing nothing XO did not want to. Today was to reflect on rahniyskoy problem, remember the moments of interaction with Troop race rachni.
Reflections Shepard
Information captured by the Queen rachni caused a mixed reaction among otryadovtsev. Very mixed. We had to prepare for the many options in the overall plan. Again there was a question about whether or not to destroy the queen rachni or perhaps should be made one or more attempts to agree with her, bring her and her subjects to their side. Again I had to choose first in a planned way, and then had to choose the real. To carry out the evacuation of the Queen on board the cruiser - for so great a reasonable entity on the frigate could not find a large enough space.
Otryadovtsam on the "top-15" had to deal with the asari matriarch, who managed under various pretexts did drag on Nover Geth. It was possible to start with this asari matriarch-in confrontation, destroying all her getskogo support. A first - to neutralize another asari, combines scientists and commandos. The maid was already halfway to indoctrinate Matriarchy Azariyskoy Race. Pokorny maid. It is strange that while Shepard is not troubled by the analogy between the matriarchy and indoctrinated "Cerberus". Maybe he already knew to be indignant and angry over such circumstances, to put it mildly, a bit late, but if you speak clearly, then there is no need. We had just act efficiently and effectively in those conditions, which have been formed.
Meeting with Queen rachni led many teammate Shepard once again think deeply. Combined efforts could soothe and support the frazzled matriarch Elayroy queen big role in this, of course, played Yavik. He believed the queen naturally more than other teammate Shepard. Yes, it was at the time largely indoctrinated, but she resisted, she kept so Yaviku managed to remove indoctrination soon. After gaining freedom, finding comfort and peace in a comfortable and safe transport container, Queen rachni convinced that these intelligent, suddenly liberated it from oppression matriarch asari words with deeds and not stupid screen-cover completely different in its meaning and the value of actions.
John and Svetlana Yavik a lot and had a long talk about rachni, mu-repeater Queen rachni, Reapers and evolution. When they came into the hangar, surrendered to the Queen, Svetlana talked to the queen, and then asked John directly: he wants Queen rachni lived or he wants her to be killed. Shepard would not say that such a question ... he did not expect. But the lips of Svetlana issue gained further complexity. Streltsov asked John not as an officer, not a soldier, not as a commander razvedkreysera. She asked Shepard about the life and death of Queen rachni and as a woman. How the future, no doubt, a mother. It's like no one knew at the time the queen, whose children were trying to put themselves at the service of Husky-matriarchs and Collectors from Reapers. And it had the right to voice this issue.
Shepard then replied. As a result, Queen rachni stayed. Moreover, it was decided to return the Queen at Suan, take the system under the protection of the Empire Spetsflotom videoconferencing to nobody else of the inhabitants of the Milky Way did not arise even thought ab
out the possibility to make their own puppets rachni.
Shepard then showed Svetlana informkristall data about Leviathan technology that allowed it to continue cuttlefish tracking events that took place in different parts of the galaxy. The same deathly iridescent blue-black color sphere, "balls". This informkristall only Shepard read, even Yavik he had not seen or studied. However, as it later became convinced John, proteanina was no less complete information about this technology, so that there were no quarrels.
Svetlana John was a magical night. No, to the far-reaching implications of the matter, of course, by mutual agreement and arrangement, albeit silent, did not make it, but both got a huge pleasure. Private pleasure. For Shepard, it was important that Svetlana has calmed down and rest. And then he did everything that was in its power. Svetlana liked, and the rest did not matter. His girlfriend, whom he openly then called his fiancee, Shepard was not going to ever and under any risk.
Covert Imperial fleet under the command of kaperanga Serebrovsky its appearance and placement in the system reassured Streltsov who was expecting trouble.
Preparations for the ceremony of the Treaty. Pending execution of solo arias Svetlana. Five octave range! Shepard was inclined to believe Multi wise Anderson told about such opportunities Svetlana Streltsov but when faced queen rachni ahead three starships, two of which were imperial Song ... Queen revived race ... amazing. Women and girls teams and the crew of the cruiser Spetsflota Empire did not hesitate and do not be ashamed of tears, too ... men experienced strong feelings, multifaceted experience. A song is already very impressed by Svetlana Queen. And not only it, but the Queen - in the first place. The result has been achieved. According to the maximum achieved.
