As a day of traveling finally passed, The Normandy Crew finally arrived on the planet Korlus. Their mission for the dossier is to recruit "The Warlord".

It didn't say much on who the person was, only that it was a scientist Krogan, and that he was held in a Blue Suns camp. So it's either he will help the crew, or it's gonna be a problem. Whatever the case, the Chief was ready to deal with it before it would get out of hand.

As they got near to the planet's orbit, Chief and his group consisting Noble Six, Spartan Joe, Garrus, Sinon, Lisbeth, and Siha entered in the Kodiak Drop Shuttle to arrive near the camp without raising any alarms.

After a few minutes of waiting, the shuttle landed and everyone exited out to get to quick cover without being spotted.

"The dossier doesn't say if Okeer is on this planet by choice. Assume hostiles." Chief replied to the team COM, as everyone gave off a green light of understanding.

They then a loudspeaker went off, as a woman began yelling something to the entire camp.

"There is only one measure of success: kill or be killed! Protection is your goal."

"Broadcasting orders over loudspeakers? Charming." Lisbeth replied, already knowing that she was gonna get annoyed with the loudspeaker.

"Someone must like the sound of their voice." Garrus said, joining in the banter.

"Stay focused. We're looking for a Krogan warlord." The Spartan II ordered, as the two of them quickly stopped and got back to focus on the mission.

Master Chief then gives the hand order to 'move out, slowly', as everyone follows him quietly without being detected by the Blue Suns. As they got closer to the inside of camp, they began to hear the loudspeaker go off again.

"Being hired is merely the beginning. You must earn your place in the mighty army we are building."

The group was confused about what the woman was saying. Was she talking to new recruits, or something else?

All that Chief knew, if an army was being made and that woman in the loudspeaker was in charge of things, she needed to be stopped as soon as possible.

As the group got closer to the camp entrance, they quickly spotted some enemy soldiers nearby. Luckily, they haven't spotted them yet, as Chief already formed a plan to take them down. He gave the order for both Sinon and Garrus to take sniping positions to take them out unnoticed.

(Look back in chapter 20 to know what weapon I'm referring to that Liz is using.)

After a quick scan of the area, all was clear at the moment. Everyone got out of hiding positions and continued onward to the dossier. But before they could leave, they noticed the one merc Liz shot was still, but hurt enough to not be able to hold a weapon.

"Shit... Shit! It won't stop bleeding... I'm gonna... son of a bitch!" The merc yelled out, trying to get back up from the ground.
