[Jane POV]

With the mission complete, it was time to give my status report to Admiral Hackett. I go to the comm room and establish a link

Admiral Hackett: "Commander, I'm here chatter youre brokering a treaty between the krogan and Turians?" He asks me

Jane: "If I get krogan boots on Palaven, the turian promised me their support" I reply

Admiral Hackett: "And how did Cerberus get involved?" He asks me

Jane: "I don't know. The illusive man is up to something" I answer honestly

Admiral Hackett: "Then keep them at bay. I can't overstate what a victory this treaty would be for the alliance. We'll need all the help we can get" he orders me to reiterate the importance

Jane: "How's the Prothean device coming?" I ask him to get an idea on where we're at

Admiral Hackett: "Alliance R&D has officially begun construction. The team has dubbed it "Project crucible"" he answers me

I can hear Y/n in the back of my head saying "Wow. How original? How'd you come up with SUCH an original name?"

Admiral Hackett: "We're throwing everyone who knows how to hold a hammer at it. This is going to be the most ambitious undertaking In human history" he Continues to say

Jane: "Will we get it done?" I ask him

Admiral Hackett: "I won't say it won't be a challenge... but our researches tell me the designs are... elegant. Massive in scope, but strangely simple as well. We can do this, Shepard. You can do this. Never doubt that" He says to me

Jane: "No, Sir" I lie and salute, end the link and sigh and I hear boots walking to the room

Y/n: "We got an issue. Victus and Wrex are having a "Talk" in the meeting room" my husband tells me

Jane: "Then let's go" I say after signing

We head towards the meeting room, and as
Y/n said, They're having a "Talk". Mordin is also there to just watch the "Talk" play out

Primarch Victus: "You have the female, Wrex. A cure for the rest of your people can come later" he says

Wrex: "That wasn't the deal" he practically growls out

Me and Y/n have the same thought. "Hes right"

Primarch Victus: "But Palaven needs your reinforcements now. We can't delay" he says with urgency and desperation

Wrex: "Unless every krogan gets the cure, there's no alliance" he says firm on his stance

Jane: "Mordin, how long will it take to finish a cure?" I ask turning to look at him

Mordin: "Need to synthesize base antigen from female. Also requires male krogan tissue. Will need a sample" he replies to me

Wrex: "You're looking at it" he says gesturing himself

Y/n sucks in his breath and winces

Y/n: "Just saying, but I'm glad it's not me" he says shuttering

Mordin: "Acceptable. Will need you to remain aboard Normandy for procedure" He says as the rest of the team ignored Y/n's comment

Wrex: "Let's hope the food's gotten better" he says chuckling

It has not

Jane: "Formulating a cure that works for every krogan sounds like a tall order, mordin. Can you do it?" I ask him

Mordin: "Of course. Similar to genophage modification project. Working against own alterations this time. Not as simple as garbage DNA blocking attachment sites. We need to counteract shutdown of redundant nervous systems, adjust neurotransmitter levels-" he goes off about to give off a full length science lesson
