Tali [Sparks]

Or idk what to title this. Doubt you guys even look at the title let alone the brief part.

But if you do, you are not Shepard in this.

You stepped into the communication room, examining your dark surroundings before the blue hue lit up, the hologram demonstrating an annoyed woman in her pin covered uniform, her hair in a usual scalp tight bun, the winkles detailing her face. She gave a relieved groaned at your sight. "You're finally here after thirty whole minutes of requesting for you."

"I had to be presentable," you held in your chuckle. "Especially after a long -"

"Yes." She interrupted. "We've gotten note of your... Guest and your irrelevant evening."

"In that case, I should also say I've gotten the brief of the mission."

"Good to hear." She gave you a stern look. "And after you attain the objective you are to....let's say hinder construction."

"Are you kidding me?"

"Are you questioning me?"

"No....ma'am." You sighed.

You ended the meeting, immediately rolling your eyes. Who the hell did that woman think she was? Well yeah she was your boss and literally controlled your salary and what jobs you were assigned onto. At least she couldn't take a away your plans and how to set your ship up and who was allowed upon it. You shook your head, focusing on the upcoming mission, exiting the communication room.

"So how'd it go?" A Turian soldier leaning on the wall outside the room, waiting patiently for you.

"Dex, ease drop much?"

"What's the next mission?" He pushed himself off the wall, following your lead as you called your squad in to brief.

"I won't repeat myself." You stated, hands pressing onto the table, a hologram forming a crumbled world, zooming in a particular spot, looking almost like a stadium, like the Colosseum. It didn't fit with the rest of the world, it was untouched, sharp, ancient, and the main objective was in the middle of it. You examined the tunnels that were underground, directions, markings that were brought up, notes popping up of incomplete history of the site. You pressed into the hologram, right into the center of the site, a red dot appearing from the touch. "This is our objective," you then began forming a red circle around the entire site. "After we get what is needed, this is where we... hinder construction."

"Wooooow." One of the soldier let out sarcastically.

"Yeah, but we gotta make Cruella De Vil's mom happy before she thinks I... We should be on unpaid suspension again." You insulted, nodding your head for your soldiers to prepare. "Be ready. We leave in forty." They nodded, sharp eyes planted as they geared up with their firearms, you really wished you had taken a longer nap, you thought, strapping on your armor, weapons in their holster, ammo in its reach.

"Do you get it?!" You yelled through the comm of your helmet, glaring behind it at your annoying squad mate. The teams tension was already high during the shuttle ride to the drop.

"Yes!" They angrily yelled back, annoyed.

"I think we all get it." Dex spoke up.

"Shut up." You glared at the Turian. "Do you get it?!" You pointing at the annoyed one.

"I get it! You have a lot of guns!"

"Because I swear to god, I will strip back down and show you all over again."

"You know-!" They shouted.

"What?!" You shouted back.

"Would you shut up?!" Dex interrupted.
