LOG ENTRY 2.0.0

The Normandy felt just like home, and now I had a few hours to think, I sat staring at myself in the mirror. Miranda had been right about the scars, they hadnt healed properly, huge red glowing scars littered my face and most of my body; when I had changed into my suit I had been in such a rush and did not notice.

Omega was our first destination, Omega was a starbase made into a asteroid in the same system that the Omega4 Relay, even as we passed through the system, the Omega4 Relay was clean in view; its huge red and orange glowing deep in the black like an evil eye staring back at us. Watching the station appearing, EDI had given me several files on Omega, as I had not been there before; it even looked like the kind place criminal and scum would hang out.

We are about to dock, I am going to arm up and get ready. Should I put my helmet on and save myself the horrible smell I've been warned about?

Supplimental 2.0.1

I wish I had put on my helmet, the air is stale and stinks of who knows what. We moved through the docking bay and were greeted by some guy trying to get us to buy something but a goon sent him running, before telling us that some woman called "Aria" wants to see me in "Afterlife". I told the man I would go by when I have time and he told me I should see her first.

It was only a minute later when we met Zaeed, he was finishing off his last job with some bounty, the guy tried to run but Zaeed hipshot him with great aim; I can see why the Illusive man wants him on my team.

We talked and found out that he had a job to fininsh with me, something Illusive man did not tell me; I agreed we would do it. I told him to join me when he was finished with this bounty and sent Jacob back to the ship; Miranda and Zaeed would be with me.

Supplimental 2.0.2

Bought a few upgrades for my armour; now I am not officially with the alliance I dont have to keep to  the same armour set so I might aswell as add mods to it. When browsing the shops, I found a Quarian who had lost his money to get back to the flotilla; I gave him 1 thousand credits to get back home; I have a soft spot for Quarians. Doing this brought back memories of Tali, first meeting her, fighting Saren, watching their pods float away while I died and finally meeting her again on Freedoms Progress... I want my old team back, I need my Family.

Supplimental 2.0.3

Made my way into Afterlife, the thumping music, the flashing lights, all of this hurt my eyes and head; I still had that nagging pain from my resurrection in my head and this wasnt helping.

Found Aria overlooking the club floor, they scanned me to make sure I was sheppard, and once they were sure I was who I said I was, she told me the rules of Omega....

"Dont fuck with Aria"

I think I like her already, if she wasnt a criminal; I probably would hire her to my crew. We spoke about mordan and this "ARCHANGEL"; she gave me all the information I needed,  ARCHANGEl has mercs after him, all of them have joined together on OMEGA to get him while Morden is in the "QUARENTINE ZONE" helping those infected with some disease.

Standing up and thanking her, we are now going to the Quarentine Zone, We can find Archangel and Morden in one go; and if we get Archangel, the mercs will be stalled here for a while we we while we go get Morden.

Supplimentl 2.1.0

Aria had told me that the mercs were trying to recruit freelancers to throw at ARCHANGEL while they made a plan of attack; they had set up in a room in the main lobby of Afterlife. We decided to head in and sign up, best way to sneak in would be through the front door.

The merc there told us we would recrive 500 credits each for the job, I can make more credits than that by sneezing, although I did manage to stop some kid from singing up, he was pissed but when he see's the body count list later he would realise I did the right thing.

We are just heading to the transport now that will take us to the tower where ARCHANGEL has been pinned.

Supplimental 2.1.1

Arrived at the tower, all three major merc cells are here; Blue Suns, Blood Pact and Eclipse are attacking together, and the "Freelancers" are going to be drawing fire... Figures...

While nosing around I found a data pad that mentioned shipping under Aria's nose, I think she might like to see this.

Supplimental 2.1.2

Found ALOT of mechs that are programmed to attack Archangel, I think a little re-programming will help me here, Oops; did i just bipass the friend-foe settings, How clumbsy of me.

Supplimental 2.1.3

Found the Enginner repairing a gunship that Archangel had damaged, he explains that the freelancers are basically a distraction for a team sneaking around, we dont have much time..

I had to kill the engineer, we couldnt have that Gunship after us, or atleast at full power.

Supplimental 2.1.4

We headed over the top of the barricade behind the freelancers, kids and new guys wanting to prove something; we had to take them down to get to Archangel, but we manaed to fight out way upstairs and get to the second level; I think Archangel knew we were helping as he took out men around us.

On the upper level, Archangel took out one last goon who had been running behind us late, before turing around; he was a turian... It wasnt until he took off his helmet....

..It was Garrus!, damn he was a sight for sore eyes. He was taking down the merc factions and his squad had been betrayed by someone on the inside; but he would explain it to me later.

We decided to bunker down for now, wait until we can see a point to leave; the bridge was the only way he hadnt sealed that we could get out.

I think one of the merc cells are  coming out after us....

Supplimental 2.1.5

I was right, Eclipse came after us, but we managed to take them out; they sent out the droids after their third wave, it was rather sad to see the mercs killed by their own mechs, but we had to do it. Managed to take out the Leader of Eclipse here.

*explosion in background*

I think Blood pact have managed to get through the lower level, We have to go now!

Supplimental 2.1.6

Left Zaeed with garrus while Miranda and I take the lower level, managed to fight our way down and hit the men attacking the lower sections; we closed and locked off the 3 sections and headed back up, however the leader had managed to get through one of the other sides and was attacking the top level, we came up right behind them and picked them off with ease; the Krogan leader was a bit hard to take down but no one stands between Sheppard and Vakarian!

Supplimental 2.1.7

Garrus and I decide its best to push out now, Only the Blue suns left and without their aircraft.... Shit!...

*gunfire in background; Log left active.*

Garrus... Garrus.. take the left... I got the Right... Miranda, Help Garrus, Zaeed, lob a nade down there, they are dropping toops! Keep up the fire!

*more gunfire*

The Aircraft is.... Garrus watch out!... Garrus!... Shit, Open fire!...

*few minutes of gunfire before a huge explosion*

Garrus...Shit. he's hit bad, Miranda, get joker on the line, tell him to get a shuttle here now! Get Chakwas to prep the medbay! Garrus, hang in there, your not dying on me now. You still owe me 600 credits,

Shit... I left the log on,

Supplimental 2.1.8

Got back to the normandy, Garrus is going to be fine, with dr Chakwas still on the normandy, she patched him right up, although he is scared to hell; we joked about it, but he is hurt about his team, I accomidated him in the Gunnery Quarters, he likes those big guns.

Supplimental 2.2.0

After I made sure that Garrus was okay, I asked him if he wanted to come out with us, he knows that he is a little weak but he says he'd rather go out and help than moap and sit around the ship; so I took him and Miranda with me to go find Morden.

We headed through Omega until we got to the Quarentine zone. There was a woman trying to get through but the Turian guard wouldnt let her, as we told him we would go through to help; he let us through, but warned us the disease spreading through the zone would affect everything but humans. Garrus was worried, but I told him he had just been hit by a gunship, a disease wouldnt hurt him.

He agreed and told me, if he was to leave now, he'd never live it down. We went into the Quarintine zone with Miranda too, Its always best to keep Cerberus involved.

Supplimental 2.2.1

As we moved through the quarintine zone, we saw how bad it was; with a disease that affects every race except humans, people would be suspicious of Humans. As we moved through, we noticed looting, humans looting corpses; some people are just degenerates, if I wasnt on a mission I would stop them.

Garrus just coughed badly, We are worried, but he says he can keep on going. We ran into the back of the Blue Suns, they seem to be attacking Vorcha from the looks of it they are blood pact. One hour they can be figting togetehr against Archangel and then the next they are fighting each other.

Supplimental 2.2.2

We found a dying batarian, he was suspicious against us,  I healed him but he thought I was going to kill him, he directed me to Mordin. I told him we would send help to him once we get to Morden.

Supplimental 2.2.3

We found the clinic, made our way through the sick into the back, Morden was rambling to his assistants, the moment he saw Garrus, he worked out a cure and healed in in less then 30 seconds; damn he is good.

He began to ask us what we were doing here, but didnt even let us say; staring to ramble on, he speaks way to quickly and we had to but in.

I told him we were fighting the collectors and we needed him to help save the human colonies. He told us he would be interested in helping us, fighting the collectors; he even worked out that the collectors were the cause of this plauge. He has a a cure but needs tospread it through the enviromental systems, the problem is Vorcha are guarding it and just as he told me, the system shut down. We needed to hurry.

I told him I would handle it, but he also told us that his assistant "Daniel" was out and was probably in trouble. I told him we would find him. Before we left, I told Morden about the Batarian outside and he said He would send someone out to get him.

Supplimental 2.2.4

We were deep inside Blood Pact terratory, we had to fight through so many vorcha and Krogan, but we managed to find Daniel, he was being held hostage by a few Batarians, they were surprised when I let them go, "compassion.. from a human, a first"... they must not have met the right humans.

Supplimental 2.2.5

We pushed into the Enviromental controles and were confronted by the Vorcha, they told us they were sent by the collectors, kill us all with this plague and take the humans. We stopped them and reactivated the air system while Injecting the cure Morden gave us.

Supplimental 2.2.6

We headed back to Morden and he offered to come with us, leaving Daniel in charge we all headed back to the normandy. On the ship we gave him the lab, as he is the only proper scientist onboard. He was confused at EDI but said it would help; after giving him the samples we collected from Freedoms Progress.

Supplimental 2.3.0

I made a round of the ship and spoke with Kelly, My assistant, she is rather carying for everyone, loves everything. I headed to Morden and he is just as Kelly described him, a Hampster on coffee. Finally I had a catch up session with Garrus, the guy's been through a lot.

We are going to head to the next target on the list; "Jack" A prisoner from a Prisonship called "Purgatory", situated in the Osun system of the Hourglass Nebula.
