Mass Effect RPG - Part 1

On the Damocles: Faria had been in the observation deck that Navere suggested where she was meditating and focusing her mind. She heard the summon from the ship's bridge. She agreed to the summon, standing up and breaking her meditation. She was in a calm, tranquil state of mind and she suspected that the arrived in the Far Rim and were about to meet the Quarians. She grabbed her weapons and holstered them. Journeying to the designated shuttle bay. When she arrived she noted the Blue Suns Turian standing there. She approached the Turian, still peaceful and serene. When she was close enough, she spoke to the Turian. Faria: "I wasn't aware Cerberus joined with thugs. What does the Blue Suns have to do with this?" She never raised her voice from a neutral monotone dialogue. She hadn't felt anything but small curiosity. She thought it was odd that after the events on Omega, that Cerberus would allow a potentially traitorous man on board. Aboard the Defrahnz, the Admiralty Board wasted little time getting their records, information, and evidence together to form a trial against Uli. There were several points they wanted to score in their favor that seemed virtually impossible to defend against. While Uli is one of their own and most prestigious, he did compromise the safety and security of the Migrant Fleet three different times in the last couple of days. That alone is enough to force an exile, however, Uli deserves a fair trial, just so the Quarian people know that no one can get away with the treachery. They have a duty to uphold and they will enforce it. Word had also began to spread throughout the fleet of this trial and many were curious. They weren't there out of malicious intent or harmful will against their former Admiral, but the Heavy Fleet seemingly separated for no reason and it seemed almost apparent that Uli was somehow responsible. However, they heard that survivors were being returned by Cerberus and Uli, so that was, at the very least, a point in favor. It was merely a matter of time until everyone's curiosity about the situation be resolved.

"I've been meaning to get this paint off. I hardly associated with them, really. Besides, it's not like I had much else to do on that horrible station. I didn't want to end up like the vorcha... Or spaced." Being spaced was not very appealing. "I understand you're concerned, but I'm not stupid, nor am I suicidal. I'm not fucking with Cerberus. You mess with them, they hunt you down."

Alex had made his way to the medical bay. As soon as he entered, he called out to Uli. Alex: Quarian! We have arrived at the Migrant Fleet, and I plan on meeting with your Admiralty Board... Alex paused. Alex: And they want to meet with you, as well. We are ready to head over there...provided you are as well.

Uli sat up slowly. His torso was hurt pretty bad but he knew that the pain he would likely feel in his chest now would be virtually nothing compared to what would await him aboard the Defrahnz. He sat up straight, his wound bandaged pretty good. Uli: "Well then, I guess it's time to explain to the Admirals everything that had happened. Why he escaped, how, and what to do before my exile. Who else is joining us?" Meanwhile in the shuttle bay: Faria: "That's a very eloquent way of putting it." She did her best to make the sarcasm obvious. The Turian wasn't wrong though, no one crosses Cerberus and lives long to tell about it. Faria: "So then, why are you even here?"

Alex folded his arms as he looked at Uli. He sighed. Alex: We should get going. Your people are waiting. Alex turned, as he led Uli out of the medical bay, and down the corridor, towards the elevator, which would eventually bring them to the shuttle bay. Alex wanted to remain silent on the matter, but he had to speak up, simply out of curiosity. Alex: If you are being put on trial...do you have legal counsel? Do you have a lawyer? Does someone represent you? Is there anyone there to defend you against the charges?

Uli: "By law, the commanding officer of the ship I serve aboard is entitled to be my defense councilor; however, I do not want the help. I still, currently, hold the rank of 'Vice-Admiral'. You will likely be asked as a witness to the events since you were there for a large part of it, but I fear they will try to implicate the events before your involvement."

The Turian shrugged. If he cared about how the Justicar put her sentence, he didn't show it. "Operative Underhill and his crew saved my life. I guess I owe them. Besides, why would I want to go back to Omega? Pretty sure some of the Blood Pack had it out for me." He explained. "Listen, I've seen a lot, done a lot, and honestly? If you're here to kill me because I'm an 'extremely terrible person,' then you should just do it instead of trying to make me feel bad by calling me a thug, alright? Otherwise, keep the talking to a minimum. It's not my thing."

[Kairu]

Faria let out a small chuckle. Faria: "I am not here to kill you. I was summoned here by the bridge. It's logic to deduce that you are coming along as well, but I cannot be certain why."

[Dark-F137]

"Neither can I. Maybe I'm just guarding the Operative, who knows? Not likely that anyone with a brain would make an attempt on his well-being, though. Obviously you're well equipped... Safe to say well-trained as well." He said, giving an idle click to punctuate.

Alex shrugged. Alex: You make it sound like this is a Kangaroo court. Is this the case? Are you walking into a trial with a predetermined outcome? Alex paused. Alex: If you are... Alex stopped, and looked at Uli. Alex: Are these trials fixed? Are they even fair?
