What started as a normal day for Elijah and his little band of mercenaries quickly turned to hell. They were contracted out by some Quarian at the edge of the galaxy to raid a nearby slaver base that had captured her friend. It seemed like a simple snatch and grab mission which the White Company was used too. Upon landing in the supposed slaver system, Elijah directed his ship to perform a quick scan of the system.
"Hey Captain, I'm picking up some odd signals coming from this system. Also seeing a lot of ship debris, looks like the slavers got into a massive fight." His pilot a female Turian by the name of Tuana Bellrinus shouted from the pilots chair. Elijah made his way from the CIC towards the pilot.
"Whats going Tuana? Something bad?" He asked.
"Something like that. It looks like the planet is being invaded by what the inhabitants are saying geth. Hold one, bringing up a image of one of the ships." The Turian said.
On one of the screens towards the side of the pilot a image of the
ship appeared, Elijah stared at the screen in shock.
"That looks like the ship that attacked the Citadel a couple years ago. I thought the Council said that; that ship was a Geth prototype. There's no way that it's a prototype, I mean fuck how many of those ships are on the planet now?" Elijah said turning to the pilot.
"From what my sensors are picking up and what little radio chatter there is. I'm guessing at least twenty to forty." Tuana turned her head to look at Elijah.
"Whats the plan, Elijah? Elijah was still staring at the screen trying to put the ship to memory.
" Get us out of system, I'm not gonna order our crew to go down while they are being invaded. Take us back to safer space." Elijah said. Turning around he started to make his way back to the CIC.
Aye, Captain." The pilot said while activating the ships controls.
"Shit, one of the Geth ships noticed us. Taking evasive maneuvers." As the ship speed off towards the relay a few stray shots from the 'Geth' ship passed them. Elijah breathed a sigh of relief it appeared that the enemy ship couldn't effectively target the small ship. As the
Verrikan started the process of activating the Relay, the ship suddenly launched forward toward what the crew believed would be safety. Elijah made his way back to the pilots cabin. Looking through the pilots window, instead of the normal blue tunnel, he saw a spectacular assortment of colors some of which didn't even have names, passing nebula's, and even a few stars.
"The fuck am I seeing? Is that a god damn flower growing in the void? Are those bloody gears? What the fuck is going on? Elijah asked his pilot, pointing out the items he named.
"I don't know. I launched us toward our previous system since it had a primary relay in it. Something else is going on, Elijah and I don't like it." His pilot stated. Almost as soon as she finished her sentence the ship exited ftl though it didn't completely stop their ship instead the ship started gaining speed towards the nearby planet that appeared to have a sun orbiting it?
"Tuana, whatever fuel we have left use it and get us landed as safely as you can manage." Elijah said buckling himself into the nearby co-pilot chair.
"All hands this is not a drill! Brace for crash landing. I repeat. Brace for crash landing." Elijah said, deactivating his omni-tool.
As the ship entered the planets atmosphere, Tuana used what little fuel was left to slow the ship down as much as possible. From the co-pilots chair, Elijah pointed out a decent 'landing' spot at the edge of the forest near what looked like a gorge of some type. His pilot was able to slow the ship down enough by now that landing shouldn't kill them. With a rough bump, Elijah felt himself lurch forward, his head slamming into a nearby console, knocking him out for the remainder of the landing.
