C-Sec Briefing Room, Security Floor,
Citadel

Garrus stood beside his Salarian partner as they walked out of the offices and to the main hall.

They were headed to the hall for a briefing on what is to be one of the most difficult operations of both Garrus and Larsan's careers.

Garrus was deep in thought as he walked thinking about everything that could go wrong with this operation.
At that moment his thoughts were interrupted by Carlos, Luhan and Voruns.

"Vakarian we want to help bring this bastard in too. Khalid died last night in hospital, that's two of our comrades who have died now because of this 'Zealot'." Said Voruns.

"Amen to that hermanos." Shouted Carlos pumping his fists.

"I wish to help as well." Said Luhan.

"Okay grab your gear." Replied Garrus earning celebratory shouts from the three C-Sec operatives,

As the group started to walk towards the hall again Garrus turned to Luhan.

"I feel terrible now, I didn't get a chance to go and visit Khalid, I was going to go after we had caught this guy to surprise him."

"It's okay. He was in a coma after they bought him out of surgery. He died an hour ago." Replied Luhan looking up at Garrus.

"Still it would have been nice to say goodbye."

"Guys I don't think Khalid would have wanted us to dwell on the negative. Lets go and make his sacrifice worth something." Said Voruns turning to face the group behind him.
"And the sacrifice of Decitis."

"Let's bring this fucker down. No más senior Zealot." Yelled Carlos.

As Garrus stood in the hall listening to the squad leader for this operation, senior C-Sec Captain Matheus Clark, he looked down the bench he was seated on to the other officers that would be involved in this op.

To his left sat Larsan, Luhan and Voruns all inspecting their weapons while they listened to Matheus. To his right sat Carlos, who seemed to be mumbling under his breath while staring intently at at the Captain.

Next to Carlos sat a human officer, one of few female officers, Sara Chen who sat polishing the barrel of an M22-Eviscerator shotgun. After Sara sat a Turian officer named Apius Romiro brandishing an M98-Widow sniper rifle.

The last person on the bench was a human named Corben Wyette with a beefy M6-Carnifex hand cannon pistols resting in his lap as he eyed Captain Matheus.

Captain Matheus was just concluding his speech as Garrus turned back towards him "Our plan of attack is to go in stealthily with Garrus and Apius on over-watch with their rifles while we approach from both sides. Is everyone on board?"

Garrus and the others responded with a chorus of yes sirs.

"Come on lets get this show on the road."

Garrus surveyed the docks from his point perched in an alcove in the walls half encircling the docks before speaking into his omni-tool.

"All clear this side Captain. No sign of them yet."

"Okay Vakarian." Replied Captain Matheus from his position in a cargo container on the far left of the docking platform. "Whats it looking like your end Apius?"

"Nothing yet sir." Replied Apius from an alcove on the opposite side of the docking area identical to that which Garrus now sat.

"Look like the guest of honor isnt goint to show up for his own party." Said Garrus with a smile.
