"Anything yet?" Talo asked, looking down at the Quarian strike team that were hacking a security drone. They were at an abandoned human colony, at night, looking for someone. After no response Talo sighed and went back to hacking the console infront of him. "You know if I'm tasked with leading you, your going to need to share information with me."
"Why do you care?" A male Quarian, Prazza, questioned him. "You left the fleet for two years and when you come back your given the status of squad leader." Talo sighed as he typed away. It was true, he stayed with Garrus for two years till his father gave him urgent news about the fleet. He heard the door slide open.
"Stop right there!" Prazza had shouted as the team gathered around him and aimed their weapons. They weren't shooting, so Talo pushed past the team and stood between Prazza and the intruders.
"Prazza!" Talo said, keeping eye contact with him. "You said you'd let me handle this if humans showed up!" He said. (Humans because it's mostly a human colony.) Talo turned to the direction of the intruders, extending his hand as to stop them, but what he saw made him pale as if he saw a ghost. "Wait....Shepard?!"
The woman he thought dead was standing infront of him, two humans on either side aiming their weapons. She wore her N7 armor. She had the same red hair, but instead her beautiful face had glowing red scars scattered around. Her eyes widened as she lowered her weapon and nodded her head at her companions, making them lower their weapons.
"I'm not taking chances with Cerberus operatives!" Prazza said. Talo put his hand on Prazza's gun and pushed it down. Talo took a quick glance at Shepard's companions and noticed the symbol on their uniforms. "Put those guns down!" He ordered the rest of the Quarian strike team. They looked at one another before slowly nodding and lowering their guns. Talo looked back at Shepard and slowly lowered his arms. "Shepard....is that really you?"
"It's me Talo." She said with a bright smile and pulled Talo into a hug, squeezing his arms against his sides. Talo chuckled and returned the hug. Shepard let go and backed away. "It's nice to see you again. And you got taller." Talo giggled as he scratched his left arm. It was true, over the three years, he's gotten taller and has gained muscle.
"B-but how?" He asked. "I saw you enter the planet's atmosphere and burn. You should be dust!"
"Cerberus rebuilt me, Talo." She told him. "In return, they asked me to investigate these attacks on human colonies."
"You'll forgive us for not taking your word, Cerberus." Prazza said, lifting his rifle, ready to shoot when he sees something he doesn't like.
"We're well within are rights to investigate an attack on a human colony." One of Shepard's companions said. She was a beautiful woman with pale skin and long black hair. She wore a tight white suit that had black gloves and black boots. "I'd like to know why there are Quarians here."
