"Good."

Especially Adele. That was a lot of Regenerative Gel. But she is pretty much better.

You all begin to board. Keith is taking SARU to the engineering room. Tom is pulling out the Nano-Assembler.

"All Marines, Get some rest."

"When we arrive, I Want the W-60 and Orion locked and loaded. Tom, Give me the keyes."

A Jingle sound

"Excellent."

[Kestrel_6]

A Few Hours Later...

The Frigate, the Prototype Sky Searcher, has landed at Lastros Ak'Mkal.

What a sight.

Plasma fire can be heard. Streaks of missiles and large scale ground batteries' fire. Battleoids Jumping, using AG to glide effortlessly. Gunships circling overhead. Fighters in Their own dogfights.

A Stingray-Class awaits.

"SARU and the Valkyrie will be on this. SARU will cover us, and The Valkyrie will drop when we are at the Drive."

A Ssaros figure approaches. it is Sariz'Kigral

"How excellent of you to join us."

an Enemy appears. Large and humanoid, on the landing pad. Everyone pours fire into it, until it dies. Certainly not Geth

"We need to move. this area isn't secure."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Perhaps this is a new species. I don't have any data on it." Saru paused to inspect the downed enemy for a few moments, looking at it from every angle and recording shapshots to send back to Spectrum Corporation for analysis later. "Moving into position. I will contact you via shortwave radio frequencies when I am ready to engage."

Saru looked around for high ground with a good view of the operation area, preferably with low cover.

[Kestrel_6]

"Uh, SARU." Varayis points at the Stingray.

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Very well. The repairs should be sufficient to compensate for firing while positioned on a moving object."

Get on the Stingray.

[Kestrel_6]

Clang Clang... You are now positioned. the W-60 is also attached, and you are now taking off. These hostiles are rather dangerous. By analysis, Ssaros Marines are equivalent to most races' Special Forces... Possible Attackers

ANTARANS
PROBABILITY: 8
Ssaros are the sworn enemies of the Antarans. and almost never use their proper bodies for ground combat.

BULRATHI
PROBABILITY: 4
Ssaros are also Bulrathi Enemies, but Bulrathi fight on the ground, and don't use Mechanicals as placeholders for infantry.

ROGUE HUMAN ELEMENTS
PROBABILITY: 7
Rogue humans aren't under the protection of Ssaros fleets, and often can't risk soldiers, so instead use Mechanicals, with Human NCOs. Anti-Raider or anti-pirate operations might also be a factor. Doesn't explain how they managed to effectively fight Ssaros Marines without near-irreperable losses

ROGUE SSAROS ELEMENTS
PROBABLILTY: 3
Rogue Ssaros Elements are almost unheard of. Maybe an Exiled House (Ssaros government is Feudal). But use of Mechanicals is considered 'dishonorable'

CONCLUSIONS: THREAT UNREGISTERED.

SSAROS PATTERNS ON ENEMY MECHANICAL SUGGESTS SSAROS.

RE-WEIGHT ROGUE SSAROS ELEMENTS TO 7

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

"Right then Let's get this over with shall we?"
Light and smoke pipe.
"You don't mind if I smoke right? With all the fire around and ash in the air I doubt it'll really matter.

[Kestrel_6]

"Go ahead."

The Orion Trundles out of the hangar. Varayis is waving from the front window.

"Need a lift?"

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

If you've got the room who am I to complain?

[Kestrel_6]

Norris takes the 20mm cannon. the rest of you sit in your seats.

You have your pistol. And a Shotgun.

You are Carrying

8 HE Mines (Time, Proximity, or Detonator)
1 Sentry Turret. (Omni-Tool Controlled, either automatic or manual)
1 Wrench.

You notice Talig is nervous. the Marines are calm.

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

Ask Talig if there's anything wrong.

[Kestrel_6]

"Its just... I was born here. The Ssaros and Quarians have excellent relations. What if my family are dead? But this is also my first time in a warzone."

She continues nervously rambling about ways to die, one involving SARU having too fast reflexes, and thinking her an enemy, and shooting her. Getting taken out by a Marine.

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

Well. If your family is dead then there is nothing we can do to bring them back to life. If they're not dead Then we should focus on getting our job done, in order to keep them that way. Rather then worrying about something you can't change or fix I say you should focus on the poblems you can. And don't worry the marines will keep you safe. I've been in three battles like this and I've only seen 7 engineers die. So don't worry I'm sure you'll survive. If anyone dies it'll either be Tweedle dee or tweedle dum over there. We have spares of them.

Keith gestures with his pipe at the two salarians.

On the other hand if you DO die at least i'll get to look at that fancy filter of yours.

[Kestrel_6]

The Salarians are on the Sky Searcher. You just indicated to Ricky and Dren.

They simply say. "We do our job right, you won't have to have a worry. You have a pistol, a shotgun, and a nice automated sentry gun that shoots to kill."

"I only got pistol training." she rambles.

"Ah hell..." Dren says to himself.

Ricky has a Plasma Rifle (Down-Sized to human use). he taps it

"Asides, we have Vera."

The Marines chuckle

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

Same difference? I guess?

-Also I am a terrible Officer.
