       Terrors of the Uncharted World
       By: NozzIvix Date: November 18, 2013, 3:07 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The encrypted message made it's way through the Extranet, to
       those lucky enough to have been chosen for the project. The
       message read as follows:
       Greetings, esteemed
       Scientist/Xenobiologist/Archaeologist/Medical professional.
       We here at Exogeni have a proposition for you! We have
       discovered an ancient Prothean Ruin on an uncharted planet in
       the Anapol system. If you have received this message, you have
       been deemed trustworthy, or skilled enough, to excavate this
       monumental discovery. A shuttle will be ready to receive you at
       the enclosed coordinates within three standard days. Within, you
       will receive further instructions. At the conclusion of the
       operation, a sum of 60 million Credits will be transferred to
       your accounts, no questions asked. Security will be handled by
       On-Site Exo-Geni personnel.
       We expect that your capabilities are a match for our
       specifications according to the assignment required of you. If
       you prove not to be up to task, immediate removal will be put
       into place and the oath of secrecy will be maintained.
       By Signing this Contract, you agree to the following:
       This contract nullifies all right to communications,
       transportation, and etc
       In Signing this contract, you agree to spend two years under
       surveillance and under oath of silence for the breakthrough
       studies you shall partake in. All research papers published
       containing knowledge pertinent to the excavation will require a
       20% royalty to ExoGeni Corporation.
       You agree to obey all orders from your superiors, especially
       those from A.R.A.
       The security ExoGeni provides will prove sufficient, and you
       will forfeit the right to carry a firearm while under ExoGeni
       care.
       If, for any reason, you leave the facility, ExoGeni has the
       right to pursue labor-enforcement and personal lockdown for the
       sake of retaining exclusive research rights.
       ExoGeni will provide living quarters, meals, comfort, and all
       necessary technology for the duration of the excavation. The
       Location of the facility is to remain classified for three
       standard years after the conclusion of the excavation. This
       contract also stipulates that 30 million of the agreed upon 60
       million credits will be transferred to your accounts upon
       arrival on the planet.
       We thank you for your discretion,

       "Doctor Modovar, get that patient to the OR. NOW!" Katrin
       yelled, as the patient's vitals began to fade. "Sadin, get the
       team scrubbed up and ready to recieve a code blue." When the
       surgeon hesitated, her voice raised. "Move it! Or I'll have you
       tell his wife why he died!" that shocked him out of a standstill
       as the salarian all but sprinted down the hall. The Doctor moved
       to follow, she saw her boss approach.
       "Doctor Ilnata!" She called out, the smaller Asari approaching
       at a slight jog. "We have a problem."
       "Can it wait, Ri'a?" Katrin replied. "Sort of saving a Turian
       Admiral at the moment."
       "No, you're not." Ri'a replied. "Kat, IA's after you for
       stealing drugs. I can cover you, but you need to get out of the
       hospital for a while. You're a damn good doctor, and I
       understand why you need these pills." She shrugged a duffel bag
       off of her shoulder and handed it to Katrin. "This is enough to
       keep even you buzzed for several years."
       "Okay then," the Doctor replied, "But where am I going to go?"
       "That's where this comes in." She tapped on her omni-tool,
       forwarding a message to Katrin's. "ExoGeni asked me for the best
       Xenobiologist I could spare. I was going to ask you, but then IA
       came snooping."
       The Drell whistled. "Sixty miillion credits... Okay Ri, I'll do
       it." she began to walk to the exit. "Oh, and don't let anyone
       take my office!" She yelled as she entered the lobby.
       Sixty million Credits, and several years worth of drugs... I
       need to pack.

       Isani Tolar had grown bored. Sifting through mountains of
       information had never been her goal when she accepted the
       position of management in a lower rung of ExoGeni corporation,
       and yet here she was doing it. It was nothing like what she had
       expected. The job she had been promised had assured her that she
       would find evidence of a new form of life, the old wisdom of the
       protheans, and information, information that would boggle her
       mind. Well, they had given her the information, but she found
       the career to be severely lacking in the prior two.
       Isani sighed, leaning back in her small chair and put the
       computer before her into sleep mode. As she rolled her neck, the
       door to the small office was opened, and her secretary, a
       lavender Asari, bowed and informed her a representative of
       ExoGeni had come to meet with her.
       And a human walked in, his coat and pants the most expensive
       credits could purchase. He straightened his black tie as he
       briskly walked to stand before her desk, eyes obscured behind
       black-lensed glasses.
       He reached into his coat and pulled out a small, miniature
       datapad, sliding it across the table to her.
       "We require your services, Tolar." He said. "We expect that you
       will accept." He nodded deeply and left.
       Hesitant, Isani picked up the datapad, moving to her feet as she
       read the material. A small, inhibited smile spread slowly across
       her face, and in a rapid movement she signed away a measly two
       years.

       "And that's when I looked the Batarian straight in his four eyes
       and said, "Hell, you can keep the ship, it smells like a
       Krogan's ass anyway!""
       The harem of Asari dancers burst out laughing along with the
       ruggedly handsome looking man in the middle of them.  He sported
       a rather large captain's hat, with an Asari around each arm, and
       a bottle of some foul smelling gut rot alcohol in each hand.
       They ate up every word he said, every story he told.  And he was
       just coherent enough right now to realize that.  A rather angry
       looking human stormed up through the VIP section of the seedy
       Omega club and towards the drunken captain.
       "Tobias what in the sphincter of hell are you doing?  You are
       aware that we have something kind of important to do tomorrow?
       Yes?"
       The drunk captain pulled his lips from the mouth of the nearest
       Asari and turned towards the angry man.
       "Max!"
       He staggered to his feet still clutching the bottles, and threw
       his arm around the man's shoulder, using him as a post to keep
       from falling face first on the floor.
       "You need to learn to cut loose a little!"
       "And you need to learn how to do it less!" the angry man
       responded.
       "Come on!  Have I ever steered you wrong!?"  The captain said,
       sounding jokingly offended.
       "Yes...A lot.  Like that time at that brothel on Illium...In
       that bar on Virmire...The the time we raided that Volus armored
       transport...The time you tried to piss in that fountain on the
       Presidium...The time you told the head of the Phoenix Syndicate
       that his mother looked like an obese Elcor...Oh and there were
       those two Asian twins, remember them?"
       "Oh come on Max, how was I supposed to know their father was
       head of the Yakuza?"  The captain slurred out.
       "We were trying to rob him!"
       "Max, Max, Max....Maxyyyyyy...Maxamillionsssss!  Forget all
       that.  What is important is here and now.  We'll make the
       checkpoint tomorrow on time.  The Salarians won't know what hit
       them!  Now come on! Live a little!"
       The drunken captain ventured back to his eagerly awaiting harem
       of Asari.  Max looked on with an expression of sheer anger and
       disappointment.  The palm of his hand rested on his face as he
       muttered.
       "How has he not gotten us all killed yet?"

       This message is to announce my resignation,effective
       immediately,  as assistant professor, Prothean studies,
       effective immediately. The lack of scholarly discipline and
       plagiarism at a once prestigious university is a sad chronicle
       of the state of affairs on Thessia.
       If this department would rather ignore the discoveries
       confirming assertions made by the last remaining Prothean,  It
       will do so without my expertise assisting its intellectual
       dishonesty.

       Satisfied, he sent the message.  There was no point in wasting
       words with those blue sycophants.  With that out of the way, he
       began to write another short message.

       In her apartment on Kithoi Ward, Katrin was packing the
       essentials for her long stay with ExoGeni. The Duffel Ri'a had
       given her lay on the bed, almost judging her, daring her to look
       inside. As she packed away clothing and other essentials,
       including her own personal stash. The bag seemed to be staring
       at her, taunting.
       Come on 'Doctor' Ilnata. Take a peek, you want to see what Ri'a
       got you, didn't you? Remember what you had a few years ago? Do
       you think she knows that you used her for drugs? She wouldn't
       give you crappy generic stuff, would she? She'd take a bullet
       for you, wouldn't she?
       "Shut up!" She yelled out loud. "Ri'a does what she does because
       she owes me, not because of some lingering romantic attachment!"
       Then open me up. Take a look inside.
       Katrin threw down the shirt she was folding and opened the bag.
       "Kalihira's tits!" she exclaimed, stepping back. "She didn't..."
       Inside the bag was hundreds of bottles of pills, high quality,
       expensive pills. The kind that Kat only managed to nab once in a
       blue moon. The kind that could get Ri'a fired if IA ever found
       out that she took them. "Ri'a... I'm not worth this." She said
       aloud.
       Do you see now, 'Doctor'? You bring pain and ruin to everyone
       that loves you.
       "No! Shut up!" She yelled, glad that she'd long ago soundproofed
       her walls. Katrin grabbed one of the pill bottles from her
       nightstand and tore off the cap, downing some pills and closing
       her eyes.
       Yes, 'Doctor' take more pills, you can never escape your past.
       You can never escape the lives you've--
       Kat only opened her eyes when the voice was silenced.

       "It's going to be two years, mother." Isani said, still unable
       to get the joy out of her voice. "Yes, ExoGeni Corporations. It
       seems my hard work has caught the attention of my superiors."
       She was quite proud when she finished the phone call, caught up
       in the wonders of her success. Prothean ruins, ancient,
       uncharted territory. The smile on her face had not left from
       yesterday, and Isani put one last article of clothing into her
       bag before going downstairs.
       Thirty million credits, soon to be sixty million. She laughed a
       little to herself. With that kind of money, she would be in this
       line of work for a very long time.
       Her omnitool started beeping again when Isani managed to leave
       the apartment complex, but she ignored it, determined to spend
       this night studying all she had learned at ExoGeni, so that she
       could better present herself when the time came to appear before
       her future superiors.
       Isani was certain she would impress them.

       To the outside observer, it would appear that Icarus was staring
       unflinchingly at an advertisement for a salarian hip-hop group.
       However, The dozens of Geth who lived inside the platform were
       abuzz with activity. While scanning through the local wireless
       network one of the Geth intercepted a classified email from the
       ExoGeni corporation to a Xenobiology major at a nearby extranet
       cafe.
       [It is clear that ExoGeni corp is attempting to conceal a
       significant scientific discovery. Collecting consensus on plan
       of action. Consensus reached. infiltrate ExoGeni corp and inform
       the consensus of the nature of ExoGeni's discovery.]
       Icarus started towards the nearest ExoGeni office, on the
       presidium.
       ---
       After 2.6 days casing the 3-storey office building, Icarus had a
       plan. It waited outside, cloaked, until 5:03 when the day shift
       ended for most of the building's staff. As they walked out
       through the automatic doors, It walked in. To achieve the
       maximum percentage of not being detected entering the building.
       Once inside, It easily hacked the branches commercially
       available software security and made  it to the server room.
       [Scanning local network for relevant information...]
       [Negative. Using current access point to gain entry to central

       [Coordinates located. Infiltrate when adequate transportation
       becomes available.]

       Katrin stood at the spot she'd been told, it hadn't been that
       far from her apartment, strangely enough. It took five standard
       minutes for the shuttle to appear, a pitch black Kodiak, with no
       markings at all. The door opened, and she stepped inside. Katrin
       was a little disappointed to see that she was the first they'd
       picked up, but took her seat as it took off for the next
       recruit.

       The pounding on the door grew more thunderous by the second.
       "Tobias wake the hell up!"
       But it did little to stir the naked and unconscious captain, or
       his 4 equally naked Asari friends.  That was, until the sound of
       a gunshot cracked through the air.  Max stormed past the door he
       has just blown a hole through as Tobias jumped up to his feet.
       "What was that for!?"  Tobias shouted as Max threw the captain's
       pants in his face.
       "Any idea what time it is.....Captain?"  Max said with a
       judgmental look.
       "Wait? what?  It's...."  Tobias trailed off as he looked at the
       clock on the wall.  They had only an hour to make it to the
       checkpoint where they were to ambush a Salarian cargo ship full
       of experimental weapons.
       "Shit!"
       ""But Captain, where are you going?"  One of the Asari stirred.
       "Um...Captainy things to do, gotta run!"
       Almost exactly an hour later Tobias and Max were standing on the
       bridge of their frigate, The Cassandra, in the exact spot they
       were supposed to be.  Now all that was left was to hope their
       intel was accurate.  They paid enough for it anyway.
       "See, made it just in time!"  Tobias said with a grin.
       "Barely..."  Max replied unimpressed.
       At that instant the Salarian cargo ship dropped out of
       FTL....accompanied by 5 rather heavily armed looking frigates.
       By the markings on their hulls they seemed to be under the
       control of the Blue Suns.
       "All hands to battle stations now!"  Tobias shouted.
       "They were supposed to be alone!"  Max then thought for a
       moment.  No...he couldn't have..."Tobias...what did you do last
       night?"
       LAST NIGHT
       Tobias was two bottles into his gut rot alcohol, slumped atop a
       bar stool with his arm around a rather stern looking Salarian.
       "W..wh...wait...You're the captain uh the Solena?"  Tobias
       belched out between gulps from his bottle.  "What a coincidence!
       I'm supposed to be stealing your ship tomorrow!"
       "You don't say."
       RIGHT NOW
       "YOU DID WHAT!?"
       "Um, we can argue later.  Full reverse!  Spool up the FTL and
       get us the hell out of here!"
