  Near the bursting heat of a jet engine was a squat building a mini-database.

  - Mini-Base, Captain. Do not empty. - Reported Saren. - Synthetic handed - there are five batarians soldiers batarian sniper, four martial varren. - Turian removed the clamps in the back wraps sniper rifle, took a comfortably shturmvintovku. - The room will have to shoot at the sound - the energy they overhauled it cut down, and even more so - the lighting. - Arterius consulted instrumentronom. - Synthetic reported - Batteries varren sent forward.

  - Which we impose melee. - Shepard confirmed by reading sent from the frigate, cruiser files. - Come on, kill these four critters. The main focus - the sniper. Then, according to circumstances.

  Warri perished trёhzaryadnyh short bursts at once, almost in the doorway of the entrance portal database includes both Shepard Turian. Yavik held in invisibility, so that no one of the terrorists could neither find nor detect. Snipers killed the combined efforts of both the Turian, once again confirming the high level of special training. Not helped batarians or four eyes, or sabotage, which allows remote attackers to overheat weapons or masking. Yavik varren in the destruction and the sniper did not intervene. Five batarian soldiers who lost their support sniper killed in less than five minutes - it was enough to run through most of small spaces mini base.

  - On the second floor. Caution. - Shepard commanded, pointing gesture direction. - There - Control Panel jet. Olivi.

  - Get to the panel, the captain. The rest I do myself. Just get to the bar. - Repeated kiborgessa, anticipating the ability to effectively work on a difficult task.

  - Perform. - Shepard waved turians climb the stairs and he followed them, trying to be as quiet and unobtrusive. - Panel - in front of me. - Shepard said, opening the door and going into the small room.

  - Management intercepted captain. Three minutes.

  - We wait. - XO ordered gestures check the other rooms on the floor and turians slipped out of the control station.

  - Clean. - I reported Nihlus, returning to the room with the panel.

  - Me too. Four or five corpses, civilian specialists - adjusters, operator of technician. Killed professionally. Quickly and quietly. - Saren said.

  - In connection with the frigate back that same Keith Bowman, Captain. - Olivia said, without interrupting work on reprogramming the systems of the jet engine. - Claims that an asteroid attacked batarian extremists. She did not know why they're here, but I saw how they killed many of the staff. Very afraid of being detected and therefore fears a long time and a lot of talking.

  - Clear. - Shepard looked at his watch. - We wait.

  - Minute, Captain. - She replied kiborgessa. - All. Now, first the engine will run as it should. The situation has already begun to turn against the extremists batarian, sir.

  - Thank you, Olivia.

  - Reporting, Captain. - Mark the connection went. - A Earthman approached the mini-database. Walking. Hidden behind the boxes, which are scattered at the entrance to the mini-database. According to our data - this is the chief engineer. His nerves - to the limit. We do not exclude that he will start shooting as soon as you leave. Systems of his suit is not so perfect, scanners, there just is not. Contact can not with him - he turned off the station, probably also fears that its batteries are detected.

  - It is, Mark. Thank you. - Shepard convinced that the conversation heard both of Turian, reasonably assuming that Yavik heard even more, and understand - even more. - Go down and exit.

  The charge of civilian gun over the head of Shepard. Because of the boxes was a man:

  - I confused you. With batarians. Commander Shepard?

  - He is. - XO nodded, - And you?

  - Simon Etvel. - Man nodded, not paying much attention to the tall emerged after Turian. - Chief Engineer. The answer for all this stuff on this metal debris. I managed to escape and hide on the surface of spying for disembarking batarians. - Engineer launched into a short-lived explanation as to what might happen if an asteroid crashes into the surface of Terra Nova. - I am very concerned about the fate of three engineers and Kate Bowman.

  - One we found the chief engineer. - Saren said. - This engineer Mendel.

  - I knew it. Surveillance Station number three? - Said the head of the engineering service.

  - Yes. - Confirmed Saren.

  - Alenka. - Shepard switched channels.

  - On-line, sir. - Replied the lieutenant.

  - Take on board the shuttle's chief engineer. Let while pobudet you. On extremists do you know - there is no place to hide civilian especially here.

  - Wilco, sir. We are on course podlёtnoe time - three minutes.

  - We'll wait. - Shepard had seen the approaching shuttle. Finally, the chief engineer helped to board and Shepard waved the driver to allow the shuttle to withdraw the car from the engine.

  - Motor parameters are given in safe limits, Captain. - I reported metrist a frigate-cruiser. - The first engine made inaccessible to batarians.

  - Moving on. - Shepard said.

  - Captain. - Manifested in the speaker's voice Alenko. - Chief engineer asserts that the second station terrorists surrounded the minefield, which can only be crossed on foot - well established system. An engineer can not document this, but says that it is set up so the guards terrorists. There was a certain kind of Balak, which all batteries perceived as a manager or leader.

  - Clear. More information No?

  - Yes, Captain. The engineer says that Kate Bowman brother here. And nowhere is it is not. Engineer fears that he was there with his sister.

  - Where is it to be more. - Shepard said. - Before connection.

  - So long, sir. - Alenko switched channels.

  The second jet engine was to the north of the first and, according to the map and plan the road to it lay between two mountain ranges.

  - Loads in the shuttle. Our time is running out. - I ordered Shepard, making a visual signal to the driver of the machine flies. - Faster. - He jumped into the doorway, and shut the door flap to half. - Come on, cautiously. - XO ordered by the Speaker.

  - Captain, I do. Around the second station and the second motor installed underground mines. Depth of the - one and a half meters. They put out the transport cups - quickly and reliably. - Clarified released on bond kiborgessa. - Landmines maim allow both wheel and flying vehicles, have the function of "frog", the dispersion of debris - ... that affects the ability for infantry - ... for the art - .... In general - this scheme. The situation around the engine is complicated by the presence of several batarian shooters bombers - both soldiers and rocket, as well as turrets, similar to those you already saw - heavy and masquerading.

  - Accepted Olivi. - Shepard watched teammate got all the files with a map and information materials. - Reduce, we jump and Walk. And while you enjoy a turret. - Shepard ordered, opening the bottom flap. - Next, colleagues. Let us pass minefield on foot.

  Shuttle destroyed turrets from a distance, calling the shooting indiscriminately soldiers batarians. Rocketeer - it was four of them - have not managed to do anything vёrtkoy car, although it tried to get consistent starts. Turrets long burned, their fragments indicated a safe place - where guns overtook charge shuttle guns, mines detonated themselves.

  Map diagram transmitted Synthetic allowed to avoid many troubles - the indicator showed that it was composed with the greatest possible precision. It is easy to evade close approach to another mine, Shepard methodically shot batarian terrorists. Legion still have first mover Alenko decided to strengthen the group as to the chief engineer of the X-57 was passed.

  - Ponastavili boxes. - Nihlus said.

  - In the confusion. - Confirmed Saren. - But they are there, where m is clearly no. Of course, keep using the card comfortably.

  - Hmm. - Shepard walked over to the console, the console next to fortified castle entrance to the station. - Console off minefield.

  - Turn off safely, Captain. Surprises and podlyanok not. - Olivia confirmed again wedged into the conversation. - We checked.
<
br />   - Then - disable. - Shepard said, turning the switch to the inactive position. - Olivia, is mechanic.

  - Punching in broneperchatke ensures the impossibility of incorporating mines in battle mode, Captain. - Flatly said kiborgessa. - I think in this case it is sufficient precaution.

  - Okay. So do it. - Shepard fist smashed the remote control minefield. - Now even the contacts will not work together. - He said, examining the results of their work. - We can safely engage batarians.

  - We have guests, Captain. Batarians squad. - Saren said. - Approaching. Synthetic see them, but do not consider it a serious and unexpected threat.

  - Confirm the captain. - The relationship came Legion. - Watch them on board the shuttle-two. A significant danger is not present. Three rocketeer.

  - Destroyed. - Saren lowered his rifle. - There were five batteries. They can be removed when they are run on us.

  The assumption Turian Spectre-justified to the full - losing missile, batarians-Marines rushed to the suicide attack. And immediately they destroyed by evil trёhzaryadnymi short bursts of assault rifles.

  - Inside the station - again, five soldiers and -batariantsev batarian engineer. Not Sniper - engineer. - Shepard said, consulting the instrumentron obtained on the freshest data from orbit. - It turns out, too, likes to sabotage, can overheat the weapon.

  - Do not have time. - Saren said.

  - In addition, Olive claims that there are waiting for us missile drones, able to attack targets in pairs. Total - up to six pieces.

  - Destroyed. - Briefly summarized Nihlus inserting in store assault rifle with armor-piercing incendiary charges.

  - Then - forward.

  The emergence of the group Shepard batarian extremists expected advance time to prepare, but no waiting, no preparation they do not help to win over members of the landing party from the frigate, cruiser. The engineer was killed first, followed were poured on the floor of the first floor the first four drones, which managed to issue only two missiles, and so do not fall into the goal. Two other drone, try to attack Turian, approached the stairs leading to the second floor, were ssazheny even faster - this time turians were careful not eager to climb the ladders higher, without conducting exploration and testing path.

  The engine control panel is located on the second floor - a standard layout, standard layout.

  - Olivi, the drive of the second motor to the desired state. - Shepard established contact their instrumentrona with automatic remote control.

  - Take control of the captain. - She replied kiborgessa. - It is more difficult, additional encryption applied. Seven minutes.

  - Accepted. Act. - Captain motioned for Turian inspect the premises of the second floor. Those came from the control station in the corridor.

  - Clean, Captain. - This time reported only Saren. - Most of the rooms are empty. Even furniture and one not.

  - Done. - Heard audiodoklad Olivia. - Transferred to the engine in safe mode. You can get out of control fast. Batarians no longer be able to do. Is that really turn off the engine. But this is clearly not part of their plans. They need to encounter.

  - Get down. - I ordered Shepard. - And leave. We need to get to the third engine.

  Turians first headed for the stairs. Yavik all this time remained on the ground floor. In a short audio communication session with Shepard, he explained that since it would be better to organize action groups cover. The captain agreed with the ancient warrior race, silently confirming its right to continue to act in this way.

  - Captain, Kate Bowman again dared to get in touch with the frigate. She said that batarians understand - someone turns off the engines, so they set out to blow up the main subject. - Olivia reported. - Give me a sec. - Kiborgessa paused. - It is found. Next to her brother. She found Balak. Under the scheme, according to the scan - he pulled it from the transmitter. I suppose he'll try to find out ... A moment. Yes, it requires Kate to answer the question of who it shuts off the engine. Kate refuses to answer .... I heard a shot. I'm afraid that my brother Keith shot. Under the scheme of the scan turns out that this is true. Audio Features confirm my conclusion, Captain. Brother Keith Bowman ... died. - Voice kiborgessy not observed a grain of emotion, but the pause testified Olivia is not too and indifferent to the current situation. - Balak ordered that a Charn "take care of the problem." Audio forward?

  - No, Olivia. Everything is short and to the point. - Said Mate. - Standard scheme of action. Even where a template. - He opened the outer door leaf. - We leave.

  - Captain. - Mark the connection went. - In the mountains located near the damaged communications tower. We tried to remotely activate it. Fully us it could not be done - not all systems have started, but we were able to get the coordinates of the three so-called research stations, monitoring stations, where it is likely, and should look for the missing engineers.

  - Took, thank you. - Shepard sent all the files teammate. - Alenka, receive data. Turn to the tower is. Let the chief engineer of a little rest - it has a problem, we do. Let's try to save Kate.

  - Acknowledged, Captain. I perform. - I reported to the lieutenant. - Took off in the direction of the tower. Report on the implementation.

  - Welcome. - Shepard received another batch of files to the frigate. - So, according to the renewed data ahead of us - the last, the third engine. The difficulty is that we need to neutralize all the terrorists. Very desirable leader, this same Balaka - to capture alive. I think for investigators Corps Spectres he will be a valuable source of diverse information. More raisers that. Get a life, and then - the wall. - Shepard finished viewing the data. - In addition to the remote engine control, we need to clean up the main range of engineering services. It was there that according to our Synthetic and keep engineers. One has already been killed there - a brother of our voluntary helpers. Extremists will continue to kill. Our task in this case - do not give them to do it quickly and easily. Generally do not give them to do it. - Shepard pointed toward the shuttle flies. - Georgia. While the driver destroys the turret - we understand from the outside of the third motor protection, if any. If not - we burst into the building management post third engine - there will definitely be batarians, as confirmed by our Synthetic. It looks like that's where we are waiting for a Charn, who plays the role of an assistant principal Balaka. We will understand him and his associates and go to the main complex of engineering services. - Shepard said it is standing in the cabin rushing to the site of the third engine of the shuttle locations. - In the main complex, our task - to prevent harm engineers taken hostage. Balaka blame not tight, but simply immobilize. The rest of you can bring down tightly. if any.

  - Captain, turret area. I opened fire. Hold the handrails have to dance. - The driver reported.

  - Accepted. Ready. - Shepard convinced that teammate entrenched in the cabin. - Start.

  - There is. - The driver of a few tens of seconds, destroy the turret, surrounded the third engine.

  - Captain, on communication channels extremists heard screams outrage. - Olivia reported.

  - Well, they also do not like it. Shooting is not? According to the hostages. - Shepard said.

  - Do not fix. - Purely in the machine responded kiborgessa.

  - Clear. Upload, we clean internal engine control station. Czarna You can also take live. Zaberёm then, when we shall understand with Balak and his guards. - Shepard said, jumping on the asteroid's surface and giving a visual signal to the driver that he averted his car on the standby position.

  - Again batarians and Warri. - Muttered irritably Saren. - These critters are already beginning to strain. - Turian reloaded the assault rifle. - Ready. I know of three marines two and four varren Rocketeer. Obscenities something for perimeter security leader.

  - They protect the engine, not the leader, Sar. - Shepard said. - Inputs.

  Warri perished first, them crumble to the ground charred rocket body. Three Marines did not even have time to defuse the enemies polmagazina as accurate trёhzaryadnymi were shot bursts of shturmvintovok. Fearing the emergence of missile drones turians climbed to the second floor and immediately meticulously checked all the rooms.

  - Clean. Remote intact and undamaged. - Reported acquiescence Saren Nihlus.

  - Accepted. - Shepard moved to a room control room. - Olivia, I'm close with remote control. Take control.
