The Normandy soon hit the mass relay sending the ship towards the Citadel. Interested, Ashley and Kadian, who had never seen the megastructure before, made their way up to the cockpit to get a good look. As the ship flew thigh the nebula the immense structure of the Citadel came into sight. Zenna came up as well eating some meat while looking out of the windows with the others.

Ashley and Kadian were in awe of the structure as they began to approach.

"Look at the size of it," Ashley awed before spotting the largest dreadnaught in the fleet.

"That," Kadian said. "Is the destiny ascension, the capitol ship of the Citadel fleet,"

Shepard leaned in to have a look, but was unimpressed with the ship. "Well, it's tall." She muttered. "But it's not like the Titan,"

That earned a nod from the other two. The Titian was arguably the largest ship in the galaxy and was the main command centre for Alliance command. But due to its size, it violated one of the many Citadel rules of engagement treaties. So, it was a point of debate whether or not the ship should be cut down. But either way the three just looked on as Joker took them into the docks.

Even with all of this in mind, it was major point of pride for minotaurs to the point where they are the most vocal against its dismantling. Mostly because, they are the ones responsible for designing and building it.

OOOOO

Looking out from the balcony from Undia's office, Shepard, Ashley and Kadian watched as the people around the Presidium went about their routine. The view was impressive, but Shepard had a hard time admiring it. While Minotaurs had a reputation for being hard to take down, they also had one for being the best builders on earth. It was instinctual part of their psychology, when not fighting they turned towards more creative pursuits such as art, food and building.

Zenna was no exception to this rule. From time to time she would be in her room, office or some form of workshop tinkering with her armour and weapons. Unlike other demi humans like the Lima or catgirls who had a mind for the medical, minotuars had a mind for engineering and building. They built things such as Tower bridge, Eiffel tower and more. Because of this as she looked out at the Presidium, she saw plenty of thing she didn't like from both an asthenic and engineering perspective. But yelling of Udina drowned out her thoughts.

"This is unacceptable!" Udina roared. "The Council would step in if the Geth attacked a Turian colony! I demand action!"

"You don't get to make demands of the Council!" Sparatus snapped at him. "And here I thought humans could take care of their own colonies,"

"Humanity knew the risks when the Alliance colonized the Traverse," Trevos said in a calmer, more understanding tone.

"What about Saren?" the human ambassador asked accusingly. "You can't ignore a rogue Spectre!"

"C-Sec is finishing their investigation into your accusations. We'll speak more at the meeting. Not before," at that the holograms vanished making an annoyed Udina turn to Anderson.

"I'm see you got the Council to agree to the meeting," Anderson said keeping his cool.

"Yes, but they aren't happy," Udina grumbled. "Saren is one of their best Spectre agents. They don't like it when one of their Spectres are charged with treason,"

As Shepard moved next to Anderson annoyance started to grow inside her. "It does not change the fact that Eden prime was attacked by the Geth. And a rogue Turian Spectre who is leading them," she said in an aggressive tone.

"Calm down, Shepard," Udian chided. "You've already done enough to jeopardize your candidacy for the Spectres. The Eden Prime mission was to prove you could handle things. Instead Nihlus ended up dead and the beacon was destroyed,"
