Mass effect Demi-humas

Chapter 2

As Alenko and Jenkins suited up Shepard felt her head begin to ache again. She rubbed it trying to loosen the pain even if it didn't do anything. Sighing she cursed that anti-demi human group for making her like this, if it wasn't for them, she could have been a proud soldier rather than a defective Minotaur. As soon as she finished getting ready, she, Anderson, Nihlus, Alenko and Jenkins stood in front of the cargo bay door.

"You ok there Shepard? Anderson asked.

"I've been dealing with a headache for the past hour sir, but I'm combat ready," Shepard replied.

"Approaching drop point one," Joker announced over the comm as Nihlus cocked his shotgun as the door opened.

"Nihlus you coming with us?" Jenkins asked.

"I move faster on my own," the turian replied before moving off the ship and jumping down onto the planet

"Nhilus will scout out ahead. He'll give you status reports throughout the mission," Anderson said

"We've got his back captain" she continued confidently

"The mission is yours now Shepard good luck,"

The Normandy flew towards the next point as quickly as it could.

"Approaching drop point two," Joker announced.

Shepard and Alenko jumped down first with the commander doing a hero landing and Alenko landing on all fours. Jenkins followed, as he joined them, they could see what was left of the colony. The sky was red like blood and the nearby buildings were destroyed from cannon fire. This colony was once a paradise, now in ruins. Jenkins could only sink to his knees while the two demi-humans sniffed the air.

"What's that smell?" Alenko asked.

"Dunno, it smells like oil, maybe metallic..." Zennea said as she readied her rifle.

"No," Jenkins said quietly.

"It's aright Jenkins we will make them pay," Shepard said while putting her hand on his shoulder.

"Aye aye commander," he said standing

"What are those?" Kaidan pointed at some sort of flying bags.

"Gas bags," Jenkins answered. "Don't worry, they're harmless."

The squad the moved up and rounded to a clearing filled with rocks. They stopped next to a couple of spaced out rocks allowing Shepard to scan the area. To her feline eyes it seemed clear. She then signalled Jenkins to move forward to a small cropping of rocks. As he did whirl sound made their presence noticed as two drones came out from behind the trees ahead and opened fire on Jenkins.

Jenkins screamed as the rounds cut right through his shield. Shepard slid out from her cover and fired at the drones in bursts while Kadian moved around to flank the drones. His animal instincts kicked in and he jumped at one. Normal human teeth would have broken as soon as they would attempt to bite down on metal. However, given that Kadian happened to be a hu hound wolf, it was a different story.

Most demi-humans who joined the military get genetic enhancements that increase their abilities. In Kadian's case, his jaw muscles had been enhanced so that he could rip though anything along a strengthening of his fangs.

His jaw bit down so hard that part of the plating cracked. Grabbing his pistol, he fired into the machine's circuitry making the machine fall to the ground. The other one tried to raise up but Shepard moved up fast grabbed it by the gun before smashing it into a rock. It didn't do much until she unloaded her rifle into it until it overheated. That finished it off. Kadian then walked up to Jenkin's body and checked his pulse as Zenna walked up to the two as the biotic gently closed the dead soldier's eyes.
