Dragon Effect

suspicion

Wrex: Out of my way, Shepard!

After the guard told Wrex about the trophy room in the winter palace, Wrex made a beeline to the war room, where the leaders of the Inquisition were gathered. Shepard stopped him right in the middle of where Josephine's greets everyone.

Shepard: Wrex, calm down.

Wrex: My people were hunted like animals, and had their heads mounted on walls, and you want me to CALM DOWN!?

Shepard: Wrex, if you go in there and make a scene, you'll be declaring war.

Wrex: and it will be a quick one.

Vivian: the Inquisition is not responsible.

Wrex turns around to see Vivian enter. She didn't seem to be on guard, but rather she knew she could calm him down with ease.

Vivian: The people whom which are responsible would be known as the Orlesians. They are the ones you should be mad at, not the Inquisition.

Wrex walks right up to Vivian and puts his face very closely to hers.

Wrex: and where exactly are these "Orlesians"?

Vivian: They own half of Thades.

Shepard is struck with fear as Vivian was acting like she wanted to have a war.

Vivian: but to go to war with them is unnecessary.

Wrex: why? Because they have weapon's weapons we've never seen before? If I had a credit for everyone I heard that-

Vivian: because you already started one.

The room goes silent as Wrex wondered what Vivian was talking about.

Vivian: when your scouts arrived, they killed thousands of us in less than a month. We tried a peaceful solution, but they only wanted blood. We had no choice but to kill them.

Wrex takes a few steps back processing what Vivian had told him.

Wrex: you swear the krogen attacked first.

Vivian nods.

Wrex: *sigh* in that case, I'm heading back to the tavern.

He says as he exits the room. Shepard waited for Wrex to be out of earshot before he spoke.

Shepard: is that true?

Vivian: I don't know, I wasn't born when they arrived.

Suddenly, an Inquisition soldier rushes past them without saying "excuse me" or "coming through" and heads straight towards the war room. Letting their curiosity get the better of them, Shepard and Vivian followed.

*Scene Change*

Wrex walked back to the Tavern with anger and disappointment of the krogan scouts that landed here. He kept thinking of reasons that set them off. As he was about to enter, he heard a voice.

???: Anger. Disappointment. Confusion. You want to know what happened, why they did what they did.

Wrex immediately turns around to face the man, but there was no one there. He simply walked back into the tavern to see Grunt and Bull still chatting. He is about to walk over to them when he heard the same voice.

???: Your friends make you strong. They help when you need them to help.

Wrex once again turns around. And this time, he sees a man in a big hand, and ragged cloths.

Cole: you and your friends are in danger.

Wrex: what?

Cole: some people trust easy, other don't, and some go too far.

Wrex: get to the point kid.

Cole: we weren't the only ones who discovered your ship.

Suddenly, Garrus rushes into the Tavern, out of breath.

Garrus: Wrex, Grunt, we have a problem.

*Scene Change*

Dear Inquisitor:

My name is Gareth Le Parchment, I am a member of the Orlesian Court, and a military strategist. I will keep this letter brief. When you built a monument to celebrate the death of the dragon you killed, some of our nobles say they found an unusual artifact floating in the water near the docs. They described this item as: "A strange piece of glass, with edges covered in metal." they brought this to our attention, and upon examination, we learned some very interesting information. This "Alliance" organization seems to come not from Thedas, or from this earth, but from the stars itself. Since this artefact was found at the scene of the battle between the dragon and the Inquisition, by the authority of the Orlesian court, myself, as well as other Orlesian officers, will be visiting Skyhold for inspection for more of these artefacts. If you possess more, please be ready to show us so that we may prepare for the inevitable. Should you have possession of weapons of the same ark, please inform us what use they might be against Corypheus, then we shall proceed to their destruction. Should you refuse at the time, it shall indicate that Inquisition is preparing for war. Furthermore, should you possess any of these "Alliance soldiers" they shall be sent to trial, and judged. Upon this letter arriving, we shall be at Skyhold within the hour. We hope for your full cooperation, and understand our suspicion.

Sincerely: Gareth Le Parchment

When the Inquisitor finishes reading the note out loud to everyone, there is a moment of silence as everyone planes in there head what to do.

Garrus: what happened to the soldiers?

EDI: I had Cortez take them back to the Normandy when he needed to refuel.

Blackwall: then get him back down here so you all can live.

Kaiden: who says we're gonna die?

Varric: well, the humans might live, but...

Wrex: we'll end up like the Krogen, won't we?

Tali: even if Cortez gets here at this very second, Gareth might see our shuttle.

Cassandra: the effect that information can have on the Inquisition can lead to our destruction.

Lara: in that case, we need to hide.

Bull: I agree, anyone have ideas?

Javik: I will gladly kill this Gareth if he poses this much of a threat

Grunt: I'll help.

Vivian: If Gareth dies, the Orlesians will take notice of his absence, and declare war.

Sera: you can hide in my room, no one ever goes on there.

Dorian: and with good reason.

Solus: your room is far too small, Sera. We need something bigger.

Cole: what about the Vault?

James: you guys have a Vault?

Inquisitor: it's where treasures go. it's big, and is always on guard.

Shepard: perfect. Liara, Tali, Grunt, Wrex, Garrus, EDI, Javik, to the Vault.

Inquisitor: Shepard, you and the other human's head to the armory, and put on a set of Inquisition uniforms.

Shepard: on it.
