Entering Eden Prime
A few days after the battle at Iagos, the Elusive Man calls for the team's presence in the War Room as they Normandy II makes its way to the Eden Prime system. They're a bit behind schedule for his taste, but he likes the reports he received of their battle at Iaogs. They fought decently as a team and accounted themselves well in saving the children being held by the slavers. The Elusive Man has his people looking out for the Black Sun Mercenaries and their operations now; if necessary, he'll have some of his other operatives begin to destroy their operation.

For now, the team needs to get back to work.

In the War Room, the team will find the holographic image of the Elusive Man before them, cloaked in darkness as he watches them with emerald green eyes.

"It's good to see you all in fighting form. The situation with the Collectors has escalated while our attention was elsewhere. A Cerberus Colony called Eden Prime recently failed to make contact for its monthly status report. The colony is made up of humans, Tamaraneans and a few Rannians." the Elusive Man says. Presently, his image fades and everyone present sees a small fleet of cuttlefish-shaped ships entering Sector 1115 forty-eight hours ago.

"Those are Collector Ships. We have very little information on them currently, so anything that you can obtain will be helpful. Cyrus' facility with machines may prove useful to you all, so I want him on the ground team on this mission. Cyrus, you'll need to obtain any information regarding the Collections from the Cerberus Database located in the Main Communications Array in the Northern part of the colony.

Otherwise, help the colonists defend themselves and drive the Collectors back. Are there any questions?" he asks.

	"You're all frightening her," Katima said calmly and softly. She could sense the girl's fear and it wove into her the way most strong emotions did. She immediately outstretched her hands. "We aren't them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The blaster fire hits Alerron. It's annoying, but it doesn't hurt him, though now he knows where his attack is. "Come out now and I will not come in after you. My friends speak truth. We mean you no harm, but I will not be fired upon again." he says, his eyes glowing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Inside the little domicile there is scuffling and shuffling, before a young woman finally emerges. She can't be older than seventeen, but she does hold a blaster rifle trained on Alerron and the others.

She's human, dirty and disheveled, but her eyes are clear.

"Okay, so you don't look like those monsters, but that doesn't mean you aren't working for them. They took several of people, but some of them came back. They tricked a bunch of us into going with those things!" she says, tears forming in her eyes.

"How do I know you aren't with them?!" she asks, keeping the weapon pointed each of them in turn.

	"I can assure you that we are not," Mar'i said calmly, putting a hand on her chest. "My name is Mar'i Grayson. I am both of Earth and of New Tamaran. My friends and I do not believe in the herding of innocents for our own pleasures. I can promise you, we are here to make sure that no more harm comes to you and your people."

	Aleea slowly lowered her weapon, but did not holster it. "Aleea Strange, of Rann," she said. "We're here to help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am Alerron Yat, and I greatly dislike being shot at." he says. "We were sent by Cerberus and the Elusive Man to aid this colony. Where is everyone?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The girl looks at everyone one more time, several thoughts going through her head. She sighs and lowers the weapon, running a hand through her hair.

"My name is Tali Zora. I'm half-human, half-Rannian, but I've never been to Earth. My parents are members of this colony...but the Collectors took them several days ago.

They've come down and attacked, then left just as quickly, after taking as many colonists as they can get. The others are in the bunker underground." she says.

"I got trapped out here because I was trying to get some supplies before we went inside." she says.

	Huh. So the girl was like her. A more suspicious part of Aleea's mind flags that as a little peculiar for being the first person they encounter. "We'll get them back," she said. "That's a promise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mar'i nodded. "We are here to help. Could you...take us to the bunker/" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Katima was less interested in getting to the bunker. She wanted more information on those who had taken the others. "And if you cannot, anything you can tell us about those who took the others would be helpful." She continued to scan with her ring. She didn't want to be caught unawares in the event this was a trap. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, this bunker is the best place to start. We can find out how to help everyone here." he says, looking around at the landscape. He sensed a trap as well. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Count Aleea as one more vote for the trap department. She gripped her ray gun tightly. If the people were still savable, they would save them. If not... they would avenge them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah. I'm a good technician. I could help fortify your defenses if you'll allow me in the systems," Cyrus offers up. He feels a little shy when it comes to just offering up his help. But it seemed like the right thing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mar'i looked around, taking in her surroundings. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Okay. I'll take you down to the bunker." Tali says. "We'll have to go to the Command Post to access it, but you, Cyrus, can find our computer systems there. Our technicians were killed by the Collectors.

They were the first ones to go when the attack started." Tali says quietly. She seems as though she's about to say more, but she stops herself.

"Please, follow me." she says, leading them to the North.

	"Geezs, I'm sorry," Cyrus says with an embarrassed and sad look. He doesn't quite know how to deal with death. He still won't accept his parents are dead. No one can convince him he is alone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Aleea kept an eye in all directions, her weapon at the ready, as she followed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Katima continued to scan out ahead, growing more and more worried by the second. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alerron also keeps his eyes peeled, still not wholly trustful of this Tali Zora. He walks at the head of the group in order to put himself between them and whatever danger they might face. (Reply to this)(Parent)
