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.

"Alerron!" Mar'i launched into the air, after her brother, firing her starbolts at the Collector shuttle.

Yes, she is impulsive.

Commander Shepard is very glad Mar'i did that just then. She looks to Cyrus as soon as the younger woman takes off.

"All right, Cyrus! Let's move!" she yells, standing and breaking into a run for the side door of the bunker. Two men follow her, while two more men wait for Cyrus to take off before they follow him.

Aleea fired up her rocket pack, joining Mar'i in the air.

In an instant, she assessed the starship design, filtering it through what she knew about various other starcraft.

She fired her ray gun toward where she thought the fuel cells were likely to be.

"Aim for the fuel cells!"

Katima herself took to the skies and raised her staff, firing blasts in just the direction Aleea encouraged.

The shuttle explodes as Katima, Mar'i and Aleea all fire upon it. The shuttle explodes, bathing the area in light and heat and knocking many of the Elite Soldiers from their feet or otherwise forcing them to halt where they stand.

They notice now that they are being attacked from the rear and several of them refocus their fire on the newcomers.

Cyrus is hauling ass. He wants to get to the shuttle. He is also being careful because Urdex is going to kick his ass if he gets hurt.

It really is like having a father figure. It disturbs him because it's like he is giving up on his real parents. Now is not the time for this though.

Alerron flies straight through the blast, blasting the Elites with his starbolts every so often to make sure they stay focused upon him. He can hear his teammates joining in the battle and smiles, feeling closer to victory every moment...until he sees the monstrosity of a ship that enters the Eden Prime atmosphere.

It looks much like a giant jet-black cuttlefish swooping in from above and Alerron has never seen a ship that large anywhere in his life. He fires his starbolts upon it, only to find that they have little effect.

"X'Hal's madness, what is this?" he breathes.

The World Breaker Ship slithers through the skies, raining down fire and destruction on the small colony of Eden Prime.

The team can hear speaking in their minds as the World Breaker communicates with every sentient being on the planet.

Embrace oblivion. The age of organics has come to an end.

Shepard shoots down another Elite Soldier, then looks up to see the World Breaker coming to land upon the planet.

"I'm not really feeling like oblivion today..." she mutters, racing ahead.

She hopes that Cyrus is as good as the Elusive Man says he is, because they're all very dead, otherwise.

"Cyrus! Let's go!" she yells, stopping to fire off another couple of shots.

The Elite Soliders redouble their efforts as the World Breaker arrives, firing upon Katima, Mar'i and Aleea as they try to recover the ground they've lost.

And somehow he makes it to the shuttle. He lands in the sea and starts working. He can feel his implants start to communicate with the shuttle as he starts to open up the comms.

He makes it look like he is sending data to the Normandy. Then smirks because it is disguised quickly as tactical information. The Collectors shouldn't be able to say no.

They do wish to dominate this planet after all.

"All your base belong to us," he says with a chuckle.

Mar'i continued firing at the ship, though she stopped when her starbolts had little effect.

"There's some sort of shield around it, I think! We need to figure out how to take it down!"

Aleea's weapon has even less effect than Mar'i's.

The ship was big, impossibly big... but very real and very dangerous.

She swooped to avoid fire from the ground troops. "It's got to have a weak spot somewhere..."

"If Earth movies are to be believed all evil space villain ships have some sort of structural weakness in an access duct or an exhaust system."

Katima set her ring to start looking for such things.

The Collector General is monitoring the transmissions from Eden Prime and notes it the moment that Cyrus' transmission appears to be going to another ship in the system.

The Collector Ship intercepts the information and beams it to the rest of the ships in their squadron, but the Collector General realizes too late that he's been fooled.

"It's a trap!" he yells, as the Cyrus Virus spreads and begins destroying his systems. He immediately starts containment procedures, trying to keep the virus from spreading to the rest of the fleet.

The World Breaker ship, however, is the first to fall. The ship's shield shimmer, then vanish completely, something that everyone will notice immediately.

The Elite Soldiers stop moving all at once and freeze in place, unable to move as the code is beamed into their systems as well.

"The shields are down!" Alerron yells. "We must strike now!"

He fires a full-strength volley of starbolts at the World Breaker ship, immediately seeing damage to the hull.

Cyrus gives a loud whoop. He feels great. He just did what should have been pretty damn hard.

He is proud of himself. And he doesn't really know if the weapon he has will have the range to hit the World Breaker.

Still. It looks like they won!

The World Breaker ship cannot stand up to the team's onslaught without its shields and soon, the behomoth is crashing to the ground. Shockwaves echo throughout the area as the ship hits the ground in several large pieces.

The Collector General is able to contain the Cyrus Virus, but at great cost. Most of his small fleet's weapons are offline and they barely have the ability to make it to lightspeed.

"Retreat." he orders, and the other ships turn tail and vanish from Eden Prime while a fury burns in the Collector General's mechanical heart.

These organics were prepared for them and found counter measures for their weapons. This has never happened before. They will strike again and soon, but the Collector General must speak to his master.

Before now, only one organic has ever managed to defy them and live to tell the tale. It cannot be that these organics have developed the same ability, especially when on one of them calls upon a power similar to the ring that the last one used.

The organics will pay for this rout in the blood of their people...but today, they have a victory.

"Enjoy it, while it lasts, Organics. You have drawn the notice of beings infinitely greater than you and you will go to your deaths lamenting your actions." the Collector-General says.

His ship vanishes, leaving Eden Prime to Cerberus.

Katima borrowed a gesture she'd picked up on Earth.

She flipped the retreating Collectors the bird.

Then she went to find Alerron.

"Great Xhal..." Mar'i said. The fight had taken a bit out of her, but she was more or less intact.
