Tali held on to the dashboard as Chief ran over yet another Geth rocket trooper.

Rocket... Trooper...

As in the bosh'tet thing was shooting rockets at them while Chief was aiming to run it over.

"Another Geth rocket trooper!" Tali yelled as she pointed at the Geth.

"I see it." Chief replied before swirling the wheel around and running over the Geth in question.

"Oh Goddess on high, mother of all life, protect me now in this trying time..." Liara quietly prayed.

Ashley, Fives, Echo, The Arbiter, and Kaiden followed behind the Chief as they went.

The group then saw Garrus, Wrex and Joe speed past them in their hog. They sped past a squad of Geth rocket troopers who were ducking behind barricades. They blasted several rockets at the incoming hog.

Most of them missed, but one rocket got lucky and impacted just underneath the warthog's undercarriage, the blast sending the hog flying.

"Yeehaw!!!" Joe said out loud, enjoying his driving. Garrus was clinging on for his life from Joe's crazy driving.

"Krogan, incoming!!! Hahaha!!!" Wrex was just laughing as he was just shooting at the Geth, taking them out one by one.

Flying over the squad of rocket troopers and landing on its wheels behind them, Wrex turned the gun around and mowed the whole squad down in a few seconds. Joe paused just long enough to make sure they weren't far ahead from the others.

As everyone regroups, they then enter inside a building, across from the ExoGeni HQ.

As they were making up to the levels of the building, they heard radio chatter from a near hideout chamber, and stopped right next to it. The crew exit out of their vehicles and assemble.

The team walked into a chamber. Inside were what looked to be several civilians, but they didn't wear the usual colonist garb. Instead, what they wore looked more like uniforms. Given their proximity to the ExoGeni building, they were likely workers there.

In addition to workers, there were also a few guards in the room, their compound eyes intent on the SPARTAN-II and his team, making sure they did not try anything funny.

An Asian man walked up to the Spartan. "That's close enough." He said as he raised a hand.

"Relax Jeong." A woman said as she walked up next to Jeong with a roll of her eyes. "They're obviously not Geth."

"Get back, Juliana." Jeong harshly replied. He turned back to the Chief.

"Master Chief Petty Officer, Spartan 117. Special Tactics and Reconnaissance." Chief replied. "I'm here to help."

"Master Chief, huh? Well, might I ask what the so-called first Human Spectre is doing here?" Jeong asked skeptically.

"Sorry about the hostility." Juliana said. "These guards have been protecting us ever since the Geth hit and they take their jobs very seriously. I'm just happy to see a friendly face." Juliana said as she turned to the Chief. She suddenly noticed his visor. "Er, so to speak." She added. "I thought we were the only Humans left on this planet."
