**Zevia**

Zevia spent the next few minutes repeating the past events up to the current while Tema looked on. Her fingers lightly stroking her hair as she absorbed it all.

"That's is our current situation." Zevia said.

"A complicated one...it does explain why I received a message from the turian and salarian government to aid in arresting turian fugitives in connection to the murder of a STG operative."

"Tafina."

"Yes, so I am to assume you are the unknown Quarian that was accompanying them along with a asari commando and a warlord Korgan." Tema sat down in her chair, the emitter adjusting to keep her image in full.

"It was unavoidable, but still it appears there is a situation going on in the turian hierarchy." Zevia commented, "One that needs to be looked into."

"Zevia, this wasn't part of the plan, going into this further may endanger your cover, and bring unwanted attention as well."

"So you aren't going to help me?" Zevia said sternly.

Tema's eyes narrowed, "I didn't say that, little one, and you should be cautious with your tone. Especially with what I had to do to give you your second chance."

"Noted, councilor." Zevia replied as she watched Tema stood up from her chair giving her another full view of the sensual curves the Quarian processed.

"Are you sure this lead is solid? Can you prove this, Gervis is stealing the genophage?"

"It's all we have, and if we don't follow it we won't know his true purpose."

Tema nodded as her omni-tool came to life on her left arm. "I'm sending you the credits through usual back channels. Find out what this turian is doing, and report back to me. Also....keep yourself guarded with your companions. It's best they don't know."

"Understood, Councilor."

"Good, now excuse me while I go try on a new outfit. I'm hoping to make a few diplomants jaws drop with it." she giggled and waved as the holo image faded.

Now that Zevia had the credits she just needed to get the evidence while keeping the others in the dark.

**Raddia**

"Knowing the Sigma, they have already sent a message to all the governments with a fabricatic story to justify your arrest. Probably waiting for you to go to the citadel first." He looked over the circuitry and glanced to the asari with his scared eye. "I think I can handle this....why don't you take a break, I'm sure you would like to get out of that armor." he said eying Raddia for a moment. "Deck 2 has a artificial spring that shouldn't have been damaged. Enjoy yourself."

"Hmmm, and he probably has people on the inside that would kill us before we could give our side of the story." Raddia sighed, but then added, "Even if we can't trust going through the system, maybe there's a way we can alert them about the real traitors. A encrypted transmission or something." She thought about it some more and then smiled a little. "Well, I'll think about it some more later. Thanks, Velk, I think I'll take your little suggestion." The slim and fit Asari had a pep in her step as she thought about getting a nice, hot bath in the spring, before she turned back towards Velk and noticed his leering, scarred eye staring at her. "No following now," she commanded with a giggle, wagging her finger playfully at the veteran before walking off.

"Think she's planning something?" Talon asked casually, "Seems strange to go through all this trouble if she's planning to double cross us at some point."

"The General went through all the trouble, and until half a day ago it would've seen strange to me," Gerris mused while looking up at the ceiling, not displaying her hurt pride. She looked back at Talon and threw him one of the handguns she had been modifying. "Your suit doesn't have concealed weapons," she said, punching a code in her omnitool which caused an omni-blade to sprout out under the heavy pistol's barrel like a bayonet, "It might seem heavier, but it'll help you if they get too close and you have no time to aim." With that, the female assassin proceeded to link the weapon to Talon's omnitool.

"Just watch your back."

**Velk**

The turian chuckled as he eyed Raddia's swaying behind. It had been a while since a female caught his eye like that as he continued to watch before she turned a corner. "Not bad." he said to himself as he paused noticing a transmission reading. "Hmmm...now who is transmitting?" he wondered as he searched through the computer tracking down its source. Suddenly the signal ended leaving Velk with nothing to trace.

"Hmmm someone doing a little secret talking?" he stroked his chin. "Guess this gang isn't all trusting." he said wondering if he could use that to his advantage.


**Hours later**

Zevia stretched her arms out as the last hours of work beat down on her muscles. She had luckly found a computer lab to call her own and begin work on cracking Tafina's data locks. She had managed to get through the first few levels, but it was time consuming. The salarian sure knew how to keep things locked up, a few more hours and the data should be open but she needed a much needed break.

"Hmm? Raddia?" she noticed seeing the asari walking down the hallway in a bathrobe. "Where are you heading?" she inquired both wondering if there were working showers on the ship.

Iggy growled a bit at Zevia as the varren sat down looking up to his owner.


**Tritop**

The large Krogan wandered back up to the bridge and took a seat at a side chair glancing out the window as he noticed Talon was still in the room with Gerrus. "Hmph still chatting together?"

"Hey you, be nice." Raddia laughs lightly and gently pets Ignatius' head before she smiles towards Zevia. "Oh, not much. I finished helping Velk with those shield generators and he mentioned there was a hot spring on this ship. I dunno about you, but I could really use a good wash after everything today."

Zevia smiled, "Oh really? A hot spring on the ship....well how can I refuse a good wash. Where is it?" she said as she noted how Iggy was hugging her ankles protectively.

"Right over here!" Raddia patted the door Zevia was standing beside, and grinned, "Shall we?" She then looked down to her overprotective pet and stroked his head gently. "No boys allowed, so make sure those guys don't sneak in, okay." The commando hoped the task would distract Iggy, letting her have a little bit of peace.

"Here's hoping it doesn't come down to that, never was the best in a fight." He shrugged as he holstered his pistol, "Or even better not even see you, seems to be the easiest way to deal with opponents." He stretched out a bit as he stood.

He glanced over towards Tritop, "Trying to sort out where to go from here. Can't just float around in space for the next few millenium hoping we crash into something helpful. Hey, you wouldn't happen to know anything useful, might be our objective wasn't so much taking you out as it was silencing you."

"Speaking of which, have you been to Epsilon Seven in the Terminus?" Gerris added, "Figure scum would know scum." She hadn't mellowed at all, and was intent on keeping Tritops underneath them where she thought he belonged.
