- Yavik Mordin sent to supplement half an hour ago. - Michelle filed reader.
- Interesting. - Chakwas careful reading. - Yes. invading army. At the time we broke into their base. I used to like that doubted this version of events, but the two of them ... Each vine is able to produce a clone body asari, or become a supply line or a retaining strap for formed or the formation of a clone body. Pretty unpleasant associations.
- More big trouble - White Azari. - Michelle said, giving the reader a way out of the cubicle colleague. - I told anybody especially there, in her cubicle not start. We are so used to represent and painted gray aliens, and then the white beast, able to seize control of a crowd of people.
- The present day terror. - Chakwas read into the figures instrumentrona. - Interesting technology, but it is unlikely we will be able to master the management of these Bestia sufficiently. We'll have to develop counter-measures - it will be easier and faster. Young and already Takao dangerous. Yavik rights - it will be able to turn as he likes so many. Oriented to the management of crowds.
- The last two asari ... oriented to sexual chaos, a colleague. - Chloe said, opening the door penultimate cubicle. - The first is indicated in the documentation as asari-man. Yavik claims that two weeks later the formation of the skin of the human-Asari is completely finished and it will be possible to remove the shackles.
- Do not tell the difference from a man now. - Chakwas nodded, reading performance with instrumentrona. - And we took care of it. In fact, fatal to men of any nationality, earthlings. And biotics, and read minds, and bodily beauty and attractiveness - all on the level. - I stressed the doctor in instrumentrone warning. - Okay. Let's see the last and we are waiting for arriving prisoner-patients. Former prisoner, fortunately. There will be a lot of work.
We prostrate and fixed on the bed, both blue-skinned beauty medichki did not stay long. Removing indicators Chakwas out into the corridor and headed to a higher level, where the Marines have already taken the first liberated female prisoners asari.
- Chloe, you pick up the children and virgins. I - matrons and matriarchs. - Chakwas said, careful reading of the sergeant filed Imperial Astrodesanta reader. - In the future, I'll take care of seniors, you - the younger ones. Objections?
- I agree, Karin. Thank you. - Chloe said.
- Spend. - I nodded Chakwas sergeant. He saluted, gestured and walked slightly ahead of Michel, pointing the way.
Fifteen minutes later Karin no longer thought of the asari, which have been extracted from the Group drop-off laboratory complex. Nearly fifteen hundred and three thousand matriarchs matrons need to be carefully examined and deep time to think about something extraneous simply no choice. After the examination, the asari sent accompanied Marines on the levels that already were prepared and impromptu single Fives Chamber. There they were given new clothes and shoes supplied rations and allowed to sleep off without the use of hypnosis or chemistry.
Michel fully appreciated the insight Chakwas - a surgeon and an officer of the Alliance VKS took over those who pay little attention to the inevitable behaviors exhibited by a military man, leaving Chloe to work with those for which the civilian medical attention was truly healing. Three thousand young asari asari and three thousand, virgins, just barely awakened from the sleep of medical drugs were happy to feel the care and attention than usual, almost the forgotten doctor, who had nothing in common with those of Aesculapius, who worked with them in the camp perimeter. And when they learned that they will be given a full set of clothes, underwear and shoes, with absolutely no lager styles and colors, the faces of female former prisoners flourished timid, timid but welcome such a smile that Chloe barely restrained tears. After passing the medical examination and settling down clothing, underwear, shoes and hygiene items, young asari accompanied by paratroopers climbed to levels where they were arranged vremennnye Chamber and could hardly hide the surprise when the soldiers explained almost each of them, that is - their temporary abode. No trace, no trace pallets and sunbeds - only beds with clean linen, is equipped with a soft and semi-soft mattresses. Marines have seen a lot of scenes meeting relatives and did not interfere with their relocation closer to each other than caused delight of female former prisoners, who believed more and more that the fears and horrors of the prison-camp life is really left behind in the past. where they were built vremennnye Chamber and could hardly hide the surprise when the soldiers explained that almost each of them, here - their temporary abode.

The most difficult patients were Azariah, which had already put into the tanks for processing into paste. Almost all of them held in these tanks a lot of hours and become accustomed to the prospect of their rapid demise. Marines and infantry, remove them from the tanks, doctors reported that most of the asari until the last moment were convinced that an imminent death in processing complex for them just was replaced by death in the laboratories of the prison-camp level. Stopping the processing units, landing party and a group of paratroopers and marines were able to save many. Very many.
In parallel with the release of female prisoners from the camp-prison unit was working on the identification of the remains of organic reasonable that collectors have already destroyed. A few hours it took to collect as more complete information about the victims, several hours were spent in the final sweep of the block, and then to the "glass" that housed propulsion and reactors station guarded by paratroopers of the Alliance and the Empire approached engineers and technicians with "Normandy". They had to completely disable all of the equipment and to prepare the engines databases to undermine.
Omega-4. Attack the middle of the station. Building canyon with unfinished humanoid Reaper
The platform moved. Jennifer tried not to move, give yourself a chance to relax. Minute by minute flowed. Let slowly, but the platform was flying to the neck.
- Captain - Saren down sniper. - Platform goes forward. Three Collectors killer. I suspect the generals will again connect them en masse to the Reapers. And I think that this platform - not the last.
- Everyone get ready for battle. Charges - armor-piercing incendiary. Platforms to check for the presence of explosives and collect weapons and ammunition. - Abruptly he commanded Shepard. - Jenny. Only protection. Only protection. Connect to an attack only as a last resort. - Said the captain, turning to face the best of humanity biotics. - We still have to get out and need your help more than once. Do not risk it, please.
- As you say, Captain. - Jennifer nodded gently and steadily. She liked the way it treated. Her cherish, it is not at risk, it did not drain. But now her eyes groped for the approaching platform, and is already in the hands of infancy flashes biotic energy. If one of these beetles will try to inflict the slightest damage to its new partners ... not masters, not the owners, not the commanders - partners - she alone will spread the station into its component parts.
Sniper rifles barked Turian. On the first platform were the usual drones collectors. Exploration, probing forces. Jennifer watched the fight, waiting to connect ... But it was not - sokomandovtsy destroying beetles accurate shots, immediately passed on arriving platform, hiding behind walls and vytselivat more and mor
e new opponents, it becomes dangerous. Nothing unusual - attempts Generals play at the multiplicity Harbingers again did not lead to the desired result for them. Normandovtsy walked along the platform as the rink is the fifth subdued them, dotted with deck surface decaying ashes of the former occupants.
Shepard had time to glance at the small screen instrumentrona situation and he did not like. The enemy was not a novice, normandovtsev icons were painted in pink, all the more saturated color. Avtodoktor worked medigel consumed. Ahead was the Reaper. And his teammate - only light and medium small arms. Well, except for the argument against the five hundred kilometers shrimp grenade. And a sniper as effective weapons do not have to say - do not shoot the eyes of them Reaper. And why does he think that the eyes of this new, unknown in detail Reaper are so very unusual? Foresight? May be. Now it was necessary to destroy more and more collectors who drove here with persistence platform doomed. A little more - and the middle of the canyon grow iron island, made up of several dozen platforms. Yes, normandovtsy cherish Jennifer, she is hiding, only occasionally supports partners fire his gun. Aptly shoot the girl. Immediately visible rich experience. Neatly and accurately shoot. Wasted charges are not consumed. Another Harbinger collapsing glittering handful of ashes.
Profits just two platforms on each - at ten collectors and the battle raged with renewed vigor. Shepard caught the eyes begging Jennifer, shook his head and added, forbidding gesture - for more time, and it was not possible. "Not yet, girl Not yet It -... The simple enemies with them we can handle You must not be exchanged for ordinary opponents Do not you strong, but you need a worthy enemy Here it is not manifested -..... Shepard thought . - and it's true, I will not let I it to a serious enemy she must live, find a mate should be and understand that it is -. not a weapon, but a man Find your family happiness Find happiness in the peaceful constructive work instead... to be spent in the battle not to kill for it -... there are plenty of men He is accustomed to and more convenient. "
Collectors guards tried to use shields to hide behind them - bumpers platforms and semi-flush in the wall of the deck is not saved on charges of rain. Increasingly flashed Forerunners. Moving from platform to platform, the captain came closer to the drones in the melee, his fist smashed chitin shells of beetles heads, causing the crumble very quickly and often unexpectedly begin to transition to the form of a handful of ashes disappearing. Lai sniper rifles almost reached the level of the continuous hum. Platforms continued to arrive, the island of the middle of the canyon grew. Wrong light greenish light consoles platforms, sensors and inviting the press to go on. You can not. It was necessary to destroy more and more new enemies.
- Platform! With two offspring. Without a cover! Caution! - I heard a cry of Olivia.
Well done, kiborgessa. Platform with two cold throwers only got out of the crater of the "funnel" and directed to the growing metal island and about its passengers information is already there. Shepard took out the sniper rifle, noting that drones Collectors are not so active, apparently awaiting the arrival of these two medium tanks. But while there is time to relax these enemies. Sound sniper shots XO merged with the sounds of shots snayperok Turian. By the time with his son joined the platform to other platforms, both opponents were already pretty weak, but so far have been very dangerous.
Again, think of Jennifer. Acute and begging. Rather, it is necessary to quickly issue a forbidding gesture to show in silence, that is not the time that if the platform is suitable Praetorians - all will be bad. Do Collector Generals on the use of such heavy weapons will be used? There would be, to disappear nowhere. For the canyon - exit to the top, the command level. There - solid officer levels there - levels filled with information carriers. There - the Collector Generals. A lot of them there. And they will resist. Even their presence and their existence will give their power to the guards. It will be a hot battle. And here - is that we have to see who the Reaper. It seems, I knew disappeared. And these throwers cold ... Bute rare, but very precisely. Scions. Name - does not correspond. Come on, how to call and call. It is clear that the enemy, that enemy is strong. We must destroy it. And because we theorize. After the war. After the victory. Above all such opponents.
Finally scion collapsed and Shepard went to the virtual interface shimmers invitingly greenish stain console. He pressed a few buttons. Behind the footsteps teammate, took the platform, heard the sound of reloading shops, it locks dorsal anchorage.
- Captain, all on the ground. - Olivia reported. - While on the distant scanner clean. But we need to move to the neck. We're here late. I do not exclude that in the base level of our team has prepared a hot meeting.
- All - check the spacesuits. Change in Avtodoktor tanks. Use medigel. We are waiting for a hard fight. Ahead - Reaper. One of the main secrets of this base. - Without turning to partners, Shepard said, looking speculatively at the neck, which came together in a variety of thick pipes. - All the pipes are there. In that part of the canyon. According to our partners, Synthetic ... there - the construction site, where construction unknown Reaper, which ... strange shape. I suppose that it is already formed - time at the Collector had enough and it is for this needed people whom we are saved by recycling ... into a paste. - Shepard almost stopped, paused, paused, but continued, swallowing. - We have to destroy it, this fight will be very difficult - we have such a powerful weapon. Yes, we have a lot, but we must destroy this Reaper and remember that front - fighting in the command level with an elite guard generals-collectors and to themselves. Because - all check and prepare everything. Hurry to go there - then put the task on the brink of full implementation of the breakdown. - With these words Shepard sat down on the platform at the console and closed his eyes - he himself had to think a lot.
- Pipelines colleagues fed a structure that emits both synthetic and organic energosignatury. These signatures do not have my bases, but they are perhaps the newest. - Olivia said quietly. - Judging by the radiation, this place is great. If my calculations are correct, this structure - really Reaper. A new kind of Reaper. - Clarified kiborgessa.
- Captain, are all ready. - Reported Saren.
- Then - move. - Shepard pushed the sensor. Platform undocked from the island and moved to the neck. Swam past an empty platform. Whether thrown, or deactivated at the wrong time. Empty. Neither the cargo nor passengers. No trace. Net.
Next came other platforms. landing group was again in full force. Subordinates Alenko and Jenkins, and their commanders looked at the hanging canyon Reaper, not hiding his surprise.
Omega-4. Neutralization Reaper
- Do not just Reaper. - Breathed Jenkins. - Humanoid Zhnets.- corporal swallowed shrugged shutter. - Now I understand why they needed the colonists earthlings. Destroy!
He heard the sound of a platoon gate fused into a continuous fractional turn. Nobody thought that the weapon Reaper is much stronger and more powerful than the one that was in otryadovtsev. No one thought that it was possible, it would be for someone from their last fight in his life. Huge shrimp legless already had manipulators and head, adorned with small and large emitters. The nose, mouth, eyes - all those holes shone lenses. The weapon was already installed.
- And then they obvolokut the structure of the standard shrimp. - Lieutenant Alenko said. - And no one will know that it is - a humanoid Reaper.
- We know. - Saren said. - And we will destroy it. He - our common enemy. These do not have to come into our worlds, our star systems in a variety of. Collectors will not be able to finish it. Do not have time. We - we will not give.
- Canyon depth of two hundred and forty meters. Considering the mark under the coccyx monster. - Olivia celebrated with typical cyborg impartiality. - Four of the top fastening assembly. But if he is to cling to the platform, which hangs in front of him - he has enough pobarahtatsya opportunities. He already formed to catch up over and over again. Armor everywhere higher than that suitable for our weapons. - Kiborgessa looked into the open instrumentron, continuous shooting performance as a platform norma
ndovtsami went to the technological platform, hung before the Reaper. - The only weak spots - eyes. There is a weak weapon. The strongest - strengthened in the nose and mouth. We'll have to hit the eyes. Focused fire. It will be a bunch of rock platforms, slippery surface. Shelter little against its emitters in the mouth and in the nose, these shelters are weak. We'll have to run. Platform technology plus our platform ... It is not enough freedom of movement. We'll have to beat immediately, and very high quality.
Soft kick flips and docking ports, connected the platform, heard and felt everything. The barrels of rifles, grenade launchers, snayperok, radiators and shotguns stood up and flashed sights, searching eyes monster. Unfinished, but extremely dangerous monsters. Future Reaper, intended to become the basis for the shrimp, which was supposed to spend all processed into a paste humanity.
- Radiation from the main power unit grows. Reaper awakens. - Marc reported.
- Oz-gon. You can not give him activated. Beat on the suspension assemblies. Consolidate and hit the eyes. Just beat. For as little time as he had to recover. - Shepard ordered, vaguely feeling that now in his squad will first loss. Irreparable loss. That can not be prevented. He felt no fear in his teammate, he did not feel fear. They know that here they will be waiting for death. And it really was waiting for them. But now, about thirty meters from the emitters Reaper death was perceived more than ever and real.
- Captain. - Jennifer Shepard approached. - I must...
- Jenny. Just be careful. Cover as much as possible of all, but try not to sit in one place. He and his peepers two emitters will carry any shelter. So move. We will try, but stay close to the center, you will cover. - XO caught consonants and two nods Synthetic Turian with Yavikom. - Alenka also help. We will destroy it. Be sure to destroy. - Shepard said, a little louder. - We can not not be destroyed. - Oz-gon.
