Prologue: After being woken up from being reconstructed by the Lazarus project. Major Hoof was fought his way through waves of Loki mechs. using only a m-3 predator pistol and two grenades from a grenade launcher. He was about to escape with two Cerberus agents but a door opened revealing a mare who shot the oldest of the Majors associates. He then was led by this mare who claimed the older stallion caused the mechs to be activated. Hoof trusted her but was still slightly skeptical as they were Cerberus after all. After a brief shuttle journey and a holographic meeting with the illusive man, the doors opened behind him revealing Joker (the pilot of the Normandy SR-1). They walked and talked until Joker revealed the Normandy SR-2. Compared to the SR-1 it was vastly superior. He finally followed joker onboard. Ready for his crew. Now: Major Robin Hoof was in the CiC looking over the Galaxy map. He had already recruited most if not all of the crew on the illusive mans list and had them get to work and relax on the ship. He was busy planning his next move when, "Major, there are new messages at your private terminal.". Yeoman Chambers called out reminding him to check his inbox. When he did check there were two that stood out; the first involved the M-44 Hammerhead while the other involved a now off grid Cerberus cell known as project overlord. After much deliberation major hoof decided on his next step. He climbed onto the platform looking down on the galaxy map. "Set a course Aite in the Typon system."
Lanius was in the weapons lab, inspecting his Avenger and Mantis while whistling old songs from 20th centenary Earth. He quickly dissembled his Mantis, juggled the pieces, before sliding each piece into place and loading it but leaving not chambering a round. He peered around the room through the scope of his rifle before setting it down on the table and swiftly dissembling to his Avenger and juggling the pieces.
Crimson relaxed upon a bed in his quarters, having music playing through his headphones as he assembled a small puzzle like ball that lazily sat above his head. He took it apart, then reassembled it again, then took it apart once more. With the Alliance and Cerberus being the only ones that know of his existence since he was confirmed as MIA, the Council believed that their prime Spectre candidate was still dead. There was even an enormous statue on the Presidium erected in his honor for his legendary accomplishments during the Battle of the Citadel. With the news playing on a TV set not far from him, all the news seemed to do was tell him lies. He knew exactly what was going on about the Collectors. The Alliance wanted to keep his return as quietly as they could from the media, being surrounded by paparazzi was the last thing he wanted. He got up and walked out of the room and went to speak with Joker. That way, the pilot had some pony to talk to.
As Crimson came up the elevator. Robin stopped him. "Crim, suit up. We've got a mission to investigate a off grid cell. Codename: Oveverlord. Fetch the squad and head to the shuttles."
"Sure thing Commander." Crimson then went to his room and suited up and taking his weapons, including his infamous monomolecular blade, sharpened to a single atom. Cerberus Phantoms took a similar fighting style that Crimson had when he had no rifle, but Cerberus made their stances far different and that they were all "Imposters" in Crimson eyes. He soon appeared in the armory as he awaited to leave on his shuttle.
Robin followed swiftly after crimson heading up the elevator and used his personal Armour locker. Once he was suited up he placed his new model of sovereign in the case along with the normandy, kodiak and destiny ascension. He pressed the button which fed the fish and made his way back down. He headed to the armoury grabbing his weapons and motioning his head to tell Crim to head to the elevator. Finally he walked into the elevator and went down to the shuttle bay, waiting.
The message to get ready came Crystal clear through Keyota's headset. The stallion quickly shot up in place,he had fallen asleep muzzle first into the pillow last night. Arug,the stallion mumbled, ok don't do an other insomnia stream until we're done here, he said quickly putting on his gear and grabbing his guns. He pondered for a moment between taking his Katanas or the black carbon fiber custom knife,before grabbing his dual Katanas and sprinting for the shuttle bay.
Jet then reminded himself to head to shuttle, so walked in the elevator and went down to the shuttle bay with his weapons ready on his back, he's glad he always carried his guns instead of placing them in the armory, the elevator stopped at the shuttle and then he walked into the shuttle and took a seat.
Lanius noticed a sudden hurry to shuttle bay. He quickly reassembled his Avenger before holstering it and the Mantis and sprinted to the shuttle bay. After he exited the elevator, he snapped a crisp salute to Robin before entering the shuttle.
When Keyota made it into the shuttle bay he saw everyone else was there. Sorry I'm late guys,the stallion said with a salute. Another insomnia run,he groaned slightly as he got his energy back in an instant. That was an other thing about Keyota, he couldn't stay sleepy or tired for long. So what's the mission Robin?
Crimson went towards and saluted Robin. He had known Robin for a long time now, both of them were fighting side by side during the Battle for The Citadel and even longer with the Skyllian Blitz. While Crimson did manage to hold off the Batarian Slavers and Pirates single handedly, Robin mentioned that he was at the battle in the past. This act could have bought Crimson any position on any fleet he wanted, but preferred a smaller crowd and chose the Normandy. It was also ironically the ship he was going to be assigned towards anyway, and Robin personally asked the Alliance for Crimson to be on his team. They were like blood brothers. He looked at his new crew members and leaned back against a wall.
(Key, it helps if you use "quotation marks". Makes it easier to differentiate between what your saying and what your doing.) Robin surveyed his men and began to speak. "Alright men here's the basics. A Cerberus Cell has recently gone rogue. Known as project overlord it was Cerberus' delve into understanding the Geth. As with anything like that it probably went bad so expect little to no survivors. Also if anyone can delve into Cerberus files about Overlord's experiments, that would be great." he turned and stood in the shuttle. "Come on, get in."
"Geth." Lanius scoffed, popping his head out of the shuttle. "Can't you ponies leave one cybernetic disaster alone? Especially the Geth, out of all other disastrous cybernetics?"
"I think that would be like asking a Krogan to stop killing things Lanius."Jet said chuckling a little and getting a little comfortable in his seat on the shuttle.
Crimson let out a small chuckle before adding something to the conversation. "Heh. Ponydom's reach exceeding it's grasp, again ?" Crimson shook his head while showing expressions of disappointment yet also keeping up a smile. "We never learn, do we ?" With that, Crimson hopped onto the shuttle and took his seat in the corner.
"Man at this age of technology, we still have ads" Key said in disgust. "I mean look at this one; are you on fire?" He said starting to laugh slightly." Who would click that?" He said clicking on it.
