Rebirth The Mass Effect is old. part 24

"Is that the only reason you decided to change Irene Shepard's status from Novick to full Spectr? Is it too fast? She didn't get any training. She doesn't know anything."

The altercation at the taxi ended: Nihlus intercepted the girl by the waist and shoved her into the aircar to the laughter of the younger Vakarian, ignoring the sluggish attempts of resistance. Having screwed up, the former most unpredictable and idealistic C-SEC officer jumped into the cab, and the taxi quickly gained altitude and disappeared into the traffic flow.

"She has someone to explain it to and keep her from making mistakes." Sparatus chuckled. "As far as I know, Irene's Spectr listens to the opinions of those whom she calls friends."

"In a couple of hours, she managed to assemble a very interesting team." Tevos tilted her head to the side. "Turian, Quarian, Krogan. Sometimes it seems to me that the concept of "racial hostility" is simply unknown to her."

"The advisor inclined his head in agreement."

"The current Irene Shepard meets the requirements for a Special Corpus operative. And I'm not interested in which gods or spirits had a hand in her transformation, as long as she's doing everything in her power to save our civilization. You said yourself, the threat of the Reapers is not a fiction."

Tevos shuddered.

"There is no lie in her words. Evasiveness, avoiding direct answers — yes. But never a direct lie." azari moved away from the window and returned to the sofa. "So far, her words have been confirmed. You're right. She deserves your trust. We need to show her that we can be trusted, too. Support at the right moment. I suppose the Alliance will provide the opportunity."

Sparatus nodded.

"They'll never let her out of control, but they don't realize that she's ALREADY turned her back on them. I've read her file. I guess we've already seen all of her current friends. And there are only two people among them — a brilliant disabled pilot and a ship's doctor."

"What about Captain Anderson?"

"There may be gratitude, but there is no trace of the old blind worship. That old Commander Shepard would not even allow the thought of going against the word of command and trying to save her enemy. Especially someone like Saren Arterius." Sparatus fell silent. "I am grateful to her for saving Nihlus's life."

"She had her reasons." Tevos said.

"Were. I can even guess which ones." Sparatus chuckled. "I am ready to forgive a lot and I will close my eyes to a lot if they succeed in their plans." a short pause. "If she succeeds in EVERYTHING she has planned... I will petition the Hierarch to grant her full citizenship and will provide any assistance I can without asking unnecessary questions."

"You trust her." There was a hint of reproach in the deep head.

"Yes." The Turian counselor sat down on the edge of the couch. "She will be able to take root in our world."

"Do you know something?"

"Rather, I saw something that wasn't meant for me." The man chuckled softly.

"Will you show me?"

"Undoubtedly." The vibrant low voice turned into a purr. "I'll puzzle you in revenge for those colorful nightmares."

"Thank your protégé for them." The soft, throaty laughter of the Asari. "I couldn't sleep properly for a decade!"

"I know. She woke up screaming every night. But it was a strong move on her part, you must admit."

"Right. The main thing is that the information is really from the lighthouse. I guess they showed me... especially impressive moments." Tevos shook her head. "Oh, yeah... You haven't looked at everything yet. I haven't seen the most interesting part..."

"You have the opportunity to show." Sparatus purred.

The azure eyes were rapidly filling with darkness. Slender fingers wrapped around the head of the bent Turian, two pairs of eyes met.

"Embrace eternity..."
