Well, you know all these stories about "popadants" in the Mass Effect. Basically, they get into Shepard, and mostly into the second Mass, at the moment when he/she is resurrected at the base of Cerberus. There is even a hitman in the Reaper.

The Eagle Nebula. The Ymir system. The orbit of the planet Corlus

A space junkyard is how one could characterise Corlus. Iottatons of scrap metal lying all over the planet's surface. Underground bodies of water that hadn't even had time to harbour life and now had anything but H2O in them. An atmosphere where you had to breathe through breathing masks. And 4,000,000,000,000,000,000 living sentient beings that life and even evolution had treated cruelly. And I thought Omega was a cloaca. Although, at least, Corlus looks somehow... Beautiful in its own way. There was a childish desire to get into every hole, every ship and explore it fully. With the same desire, children in my past life ran through garages, climbed into basements and were abandoned, left by the Soviet time's factories. It was with the same desire that idiots climbed through the bunkers of the Great Patriotic War and then died there, lost in the labyrinths of concrete tunnels.

Yeah, that's the kind of planet Corlus was. The perfect place for Okir's genetic experiments. That bitch should have been killed by now. Although "bitch" was too mild a word for him. It would be more like "A total <censored> <censored> <censored>!!!! Bitch <censored> <censored> <censored>!!!! May his fifty hanar lords <censored> <censored> in <censored>!!! That he be <censored> cut off with a bolt cutter, and then fed to him himself!!!" Yes, that's exactly right. According to Kherd's notes, Okir sold his kin, collaborated with slave traders, drugged his subjects with red sand, transplanted organs from other races into krogan, and cloned, cloned, and cloned again. Then he gave everything to the Collectors, and they gave him new technologies. With these technologies, Okir started all over again. He also grew Grant. And that's what we're here for. We were already long out of the schedule in the game, and I was beginning to fear what Grant is now. Or if he was even alive.

- Okay, let's go over it again," Shepard said, and the team decided to listen again. - We flew to a galactic junkyard to retrieve a genetically modified krogan from a krogan scientist being grown inside the wreckage of a krogan dreadnought from the Rebellions. Did I miss anything?

- No, that's correct," I replied calmly.

- Okay. Let's believe in the krogan scientist and all that... What's our situation? - Shepard got to the point.

- Well, we were able to get some data from the scouts. Here's the situation. The dreadnought itself," the hologram on the table showed a model of the ship. - is being guarded by the Blue Luminaries, led by Jedora.

- Oh, I see. Prepare yourselves, gentlemen. We're in big trouble," Zaid said sarcastically.

- Do you know her? - Shepard asked.

- I know her. Sadistic, masochistic, perverted, a chess player, a psychotic unfucked bitch, and just a bad girl. And that's no exaggeration. I slept with her once..." Zaid rubbed his neck, averting his gaze and clearly remembering the details. - I still have scars.

- What can we expect from her? - Taine asked, who was already in the know.

- Everything. Everything up to chemical grenades and a nuclear explosion on the way out. Believe me, I've been there," Zaid said, and I began to wonder what Jedora was like.

- That explains a lot," I said, to which Zaid looked surprised.

- What do you mean?

- Jedora is keeping Okyr to grow an army of krogan clones for her.

- Was he on Vermair? - Shepard surmised.

- Fifty-fifty, even though Okiir works very closely with the Collectors. So much so that even Krogan hate him. Jedora doesn't skimp on his research; there's a whole factory there. It's smaller than Vermair's, but it's alright. However, Okir tricks her and grows his "perfect" fighter, thus trying to cure the genophage. Jedora, on the other hand, needs to be made aware of this and keeps getting a batch of defective clones to use as live and wild targets.

- It's in her nature," the mercenary confirmed.

- So, what's the plan? - the Captain got to the heart of the matter.

- We have a complicated plan. First, we need a saboteur, which is Thayne. He will have to pass through the ventilation without raising the alarm and get here - the hologram showed the path and the point of arrival. - There are tanks of gas that can be fed throughout the ship. Nothing needs to be blown up, just vented into the atmosphere.

- Why should we worry about some gas? - Tali asked. How nice to hear her voice without a voice filter... Okay, Legate, stay focused.

- We may not have to, but the gas will also be fed into the krogan capsule. And that's what we're here for. So we should wait for Tane to do his job first. Before we move on to the assault.

- Assault?! Ha!" Zaid exclaimed. - Jedora's going to beat us so bad we'll only be able to eat, drink, and breathe through a tube down our throats. I've seen it before.

- We don't need the assault itself. You'll all have to start a fight with them. And make sure Jedora freaks out and sends everyone into a banzai attack. And I'll go through this with my Geth," - under the hologram of the Krogan dreadnought, some kind of transport of an elongated shape appeared, the head part of which was in the ship. - This ship is partially inside the dreadnought. The ship is completely submerged in groundwater, so only I and the geth can get through. And while Jedora fights you, I'll go underneath them, get the pod and sail with it along the same path. And at the same time, a Geth squad will come through and hit the mercenaries in the rear.

- Well, it's a good plan, but if they attack, we can't hold out," Garrus said.

- The terrain there is made up of piles of scrap metal and corridors between them. Blaster turrets will help you. We can retreat to this field, mine out, and fly away as a last resort. Then you can pick me up, for example, at night," I said. Everyone thought about it, and only after a minute, they all said their word.

- With our weapons, we can hold them off long enough," said Garrus. - And here's a good sniper position for me," he showed me a place a little further away on the hologram. It was a mountain of cubes of compacted rubbish, with a Cadiac on top of it. Garrus can shoot down two corridors at once if you get into it. - I can cover ours.

- Plus, we have three powerful biotics that can hold them off or put up a barrier against their weapons," Liara said.

- And the Luminaries don't have enough engineers," Tali put the last word in inverted commas with her fingers. However, that was a problem for the Quarians. They only have three fingers. - That's a mouthful. So we don't have to worry about them hacking the turrets. If they can be hacked at all," Tali lowered her gaze for a second, and I realised it had something to do with being in the Navy. Tali often tried to hack them, but at the very least, she failed, and at the very most, the unit was hijacked by the geth programme that controlled the turret and either shut down or started hacking through other troopers' units. And sometimes those geth hacks would activate Quarian grenades through the uniks. It's a sight to behold. They had some kind of artisanal grenades, which simply blew off the leg of the Quarians, and then they died. In general, I was convinced many times that my Geth still needed to learn about humanity. Tali has iron nerves, and the Quarians, except Tali, just sawdust instead of brains. So I understood the sadness in Tali's glowing eyes.

- We can handle it, but you're gonna have to hurry, Legatus. They're going to come at us like crazy," Zaid said as Mordin asked a question.

- Why?

- Why what? - The mercenary needed help understanding the Salarian.

- Why they'll 'come at us'," said the doctor, who also showed 'inverted commas' with his fingers. - A sign of a lack of self-preservation instinct. Reason? Money? No. Nobody has that much. Drugs? Religion? Sex? Hypnosis?

- More like fear," Dr Zaid understood and immediately continued. - You have no idea what she can do. One time a guy refused to kill a turian begging to be spared. So she burned the turian alive in front of him. And then... She chopped off his hands, cut off his balls and lips, stripped him, locked him in a room with two azari, and then the two azari started fucking him passionately right in front of him. Oh, how that poor guy cried at being unable to join in. Anyway, her squad would sooner go naked and with celery up their arse on an IMIRA squad than try to rebel against her.

- I see. So we kill quickly and without preamble," the Captain said firmly, and Zaid didn't argue. - Well, then, let's discuss the details.

Corlus. Time: unknown

About 4:00-4:30, or to put it simply, dawn.

- We're entering Rabbit Point," Joker announced, and Thayne prepared to jump.

- So, Taine, the main thing is don't do anything willy-nilly; the geth in your suit will do everything by himself, - I told the drella again. We couldn't find a way to send Thayne quietly and unnoticed to the enemy's rear. So we found only one way out - a parachute. But then there was another problem. Thane didn't even know what a parachute was. So he and Susie had to make an automatic sling control system, a suit with a light exoskeleton and a mass control system. Because the null element wasn't there, the anti-air scanners wouldn't detect it. The timing was perfect - dawn. When all the outposts are sleepy, and the replacements haven't arrived yet. He jumped from a height of 5 kilometres, as the Normandy's engine was not completely quiet. It could pick up a lot of wind, so we made a special mask and a supply of oxygen for Taine.

- I got it," Drell replied briefly.

- That's it. Let's get ready," I shouted, and Taine, a little worried, got ready to jump. - And... Go! - Thayne jumped out of the Normandy after a few milliseconds of hesitation.

****

Corlus. Tain Krios

The flight began with me no longer feeling exactly nothing beneath me. Just free flight and, what's more, the fear of being unable to lean on anything. In the next second, I felt the exoskeleton kick in. It paralysed me so I wouldn't twist around and assume the correct position. And so, as I was flying flat and looking down, I started listening. But the only thing I could hear was my breathing through the mask.

- Hey, what are you so worried about? - I heard a voice in my earpiece.

- Legatus, is that you?" I asked.

- No, I'm Max. Geth, who is now in charge of your armour and parachute - I received an unexpected answer.

- Unexpected. Since when do geth communicate like that? And since when did the Geth have names?

- Since Legatus made us all like that. And now every Geth who serves him has a name. So now every Geth has a name. It's easier, as it turns out. We used to have to call each other by eleven digits, but now it's just a name. The genius of it all is simple.

- That's right. So, it looks like we're almost there," I said when there were only two kilometres. It was surprisingly easy to talk because of the mask's ventilation and normal pressure.

- I see. So, get ready, it's going to shake - and right after these words, the parachute opened, and I felt a sharp deceleration, after which I began to descend gently to the ground. With the help of special sensors, I could already see the patrolmen. As I understood, Max also saw and controlled the flight and manoeuvring.

And so, after about half a minute, I landed, doing a somersault. The parachute detached itself, after which I quickly collected it and hid it, as advised by Legatus. They can't find out about me just like that.

- So, now we go like this, then like this, and then climb here, enter this hole, go here, turn here, go down, go through here and come out just in the room with tanks, - Max said in a few seconds, laying out the way on the holographic map.

- Copy that. Let's go," I, or rather we, ran through the wreckage. Then turned around, and there was a three-metre metal wall to jump over, but suddenly I was just paralysed. I squatted down involuntarily, and then the visual cloaking activated. I didn't realise what was happening and wanted to call Max. Still, suddenly two Turians of the Luminaries walked in front of us. Both of them were staggering along, sleepy and tired. They didn't even look at the alley, though they wouldn't have noticed us at night, which was already beginning to be lit by the sun and with the cloak working. Ten seconds later, the cloak came off, and Max contacted me as I jumped over the wall and went on my way.

- Sorry, I didn't have time to explain myself.

- Actually, thank you," I thanked him and ran on. After jumping over the wall, I ran a few metres and climbed the tilted hull. After running another 35 metres, I stood on the edge of a hole that must have been left by the mass accelerator. Creeping up to the hole, I peered in and asked. - What's inside?

- Two. Batarians. They're coming from us. As soon as you jump, go left; they're five metres away.

- Got it," as I jumped in, there was a quiet thud against the metal. The Batarians didn't pay attention to it; sleepiness was making itself felt. How useful it is, after all, to come at this time of day.

I wasn't going to kill the Batarians. Both Shepard and the Legate had told me to keep the bodies as small as possible so as not to raise the alarm inadvertently. So I followed quietly behind the Batarians, walking in almost total darkness. They were using NVRs, so they could see everything quietly. Everything except the fact that I was following them. After a few metres, they turned right, and I went left. There was a doorway and a half-open door to the lift shaft. Thank goodness I had a good scanner. The lift was at the bottom and didn't work, but there was a ladder for the krogan. Jumping on it, I started to descend. It didn't really matter to me that the stairs were for krogan. I'd climbed more than that. In half a minute, I could reach the vent without the grate, where I needed to go. Jumping and hooking onto the edge, I climbed in and very carefully climbed straight up.

And after three minutes of crawling, I had already reached the room with the tanks. There were three of them, one terminal and three soldiers. All three were human. All of them were crowded next to the lamp and trying to stay awake. Although one of them was already literally sleeping, standing up. Jumping out of the vent, I immediately threw a knife at the one who saw me but hadn't realised anything yet. The knife hit him in the throat. The one still awake and chatting with him had no time to do anything, though he twitched in surprise. His sleepy brain had no time to realise anything, even when I stuck the knife in his neck. I did the same with the third asleep and saw nothing. And now it's time to let off the gas.

- Max, go ahead and start.

- En un momento, mi amigo," he said out of the blue in what the translator showed was human Spanish. This ghetto is weird. Though he's not annoying, and he knows his business. Anyway, the terminal was hacked in a second, and a second later, the gas began to be released into the atmosphere through the emergency protocol, and there was no alarm - Max switched it off. - That's it, time to go.

- I agreed, - and after that, we quickly got out another way; Max quickly calculated a safe route.

Corlus. Morning

Three shuttles, along with us, were approaching Mole Point. Yes, I chose the names, but I didn't want to say one, two, etc. I was also glad that Thayne and this Max guy had worked out. Surprisingly, everything went well, and Thayne wasn't photophobic, which was good.

I didn't use the geth platform and sent Thayne. Because they already tried to make a stealth platform. And it didn't work like shit. A geth needs a reactor, a skeleton, a body, synthetic muscles, a backup battery and a lot of wiring. And the end result was a heavy structure weighing at least 125kg. Even with lightweight materials, it was still a 90kg construction. And our platforms can't be quiet. And Taine weighs 70kg; he is quiet and fast, which we never achieved even with Terminators, so we had to ask Taine to jump from 5km and make him a special suit. Well, the main thing was that everything went well, so it was time to get back to business.

Two shuttles landed at the point, and thirty Geth stepped out of them. They were the same platforms as on Illium, but they had synthetic muscles this time. I, too, moved into one of those platforms.

- That's it, Captain. Good luck to you," I said as I looked away from the shuttle with the crew.

- Same to you, Legatus. Hurry up, we won't last long," Shepard said. The Blue Lights had 230 men here but no Azari, which was good.

- I'll do my best, Captain," and we had to get to that ship through a ravine. And there was a part of the ship sticking out of its edge. As we approached it, we started welding the 15cm thick plating of the airlock door. The laser was doing a good job. We deliberately made the hole big to fit Grant's capsule through it. It's still airtight, and the Geth could easily get it through the flooded corridors. So, the door came off, and we got into the still-dry airlock. - All right, weld this wall; we'll go down and straight up to the pilot's cabin. We'll go at a thirty-degree angle.

- Roger that," one Geth replied and began chopping down the side wall of the airlock. If we had opened the inner door, we would have been washed away by the flood of water, and we couldn't wait for all the water to come out.

Half a minute later, the wall was welded, and a piece fell in. Some "water" poured down on us, and the sensor readings dumbfounded me.

- My mother's a Maker, and my father's an Azari; that's just something.

- What do you get, Legatus? - Shepard asked.

- It's like baking eggs in here. A hundred X-rays an hour. And that's groundwater, for fuck's sake. How the hell does anyone explain this place to me?

- No, Legatus, they won't. The locals won't tell you that either.

- That's reassuring," I said to Shepard and went into the water first, switching on the torch. The others followed me. We were all magnetically attached to the floor and walked quietly down the corridors. Then we turned around and walked in the opposite direction. - Japanese tangerines with sugar that's out of line.

- What is it this time? - said the Captain in a cheerful voice.

- Yes, this water... It can't even be called water. Almost the entire Mendeleev table is present. Even uranium. Uranium! And I'm not even talking about the wildlife. Seventeen thousand three hundred and forty-seven unidentified species of bacteria. Thirty-five thousand seven hundred and sixty-three unidentified species of virus.

- 'Legate, on behalf of the entire Galactic Scientific Community, I ask you to sample the groundwater you are in,' Mordin said suddenly.

- Dr Solus. Have you learnt to speak in long sentences? You're making progress," Shepard said, to which Mordin replied calmly.

- A learned phrase. Repeatedly.

- Oh, no, it's fine. False alarm, Captain. There's nothing wrong with the doctor. All right, I'll get you some samples," I said as I approached the dead end. - Well, we're gonna have to cut through here.

- Mercenaries! - Garrus said over the airwaves. - Eleven o'clock.

- All right, gentlemen, let's keep the airwaves clear. Battle stations!

- IMIR at one o'clock! - shouted Garrus after three shots.

- Tali, it's yours. Break him in and have him take up defences in the corridor,' shouted Shepard.

- 'Understood,' replied the Quarian. And I decided to listen to what Jedora was saying. At the same time, the two geth slashed at an open door that can't be lifted with anything or anything.

- WHAT DO YOU MEAN IMIR WAS HACKED?! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND?!

- They've got a quarian on their squad. I think she's the one who broke in.

- I don't give a shit who it is! I don't give a shit who's in there! Kill those fuckers! Now! Or I'll fuck you all with a rebar!

As far as I could tell, she wasn't kidding. I could see three more squads of ten sentients heading for Shepard from the Normandy's cameras.

****

At the same time. Garrus

I picked up this rifle for a reason. Maybe it was a firearm, I had to reload after 15 shots, and the casings made an unpleasant sound when they fell. However, I could not be seen or hear the strange sound now. The silencer, which was also a flame thrower, performed its function well so that in the negotiation of "Lights", everyone knew I was there, but no one saw me.

I look through the scope and see a batarian crouched behind the cover and started typing something on an unic. He looks like an engineer. I point and shoot. The bullet hits where his ear should be. Here's another human female stormtrooper with a Cain in her hands. Ours can't see her, so I point and shoot. The shields fail, and now she must find a dentist; the bullet hit her mouth. "Cain" picks up a turian, but I immediately shoot him in the head. He goes down, "Cain" picks up the batar, and I must reload. I try to find the batar and find him when he wants to shoot, but I don't manage to kill him; Legate's turret turns him into a colander. So do three other people who tried to destroy the turret while it was distracted. Oh, if I had those on Omega, I'd have one of those there. I see the Light reinforcements coming. I point and shoot.

The first bullet hits the batarian. Lower left eye. He goes down, rolls forward a little, and gets jumped by a turian.

Second bullet to the batar. In the throat. He drops his weapon and tries to stop the blood with both hands but immediately falls.

The third bullet hits the turian, clearly, in the forehead. Legs still flying forward due to inertia.

The fourth bullet is in the human. In the stomach. He also drops his weapon and clutches his stomach.

The fifth bullet is in the batar. In the heart. The armour was light, so the bullet went right through him.

And that's the range I had. And that was the twentieth one today.

****

Legatus

We were almost there. We could already see the water's surface, but it was still pitch black, so only torches helped. A few more steps and we came out of the water, but we were still walking along the corridor. We came to a closed door that led to the pilot's cabin.

Having welded it, we immediately saw that nothing was left of it, that is, of the deckhouse. It was flattened as if it had crashed into something. Well, why as if? It had. Somehow that ship had punched through the hull of the Krogan dreadnought and was now our backdoor.

As I peeked out and looked around, I realised we were in an empty hangar. We quickly all got out and went to the lift shaft, which didn't even have a lift. We needed to go to the third deck.

Grabbing hold of the edge of the lift shaft, I carefully peered down there. For three seconds, nothing happened, but then ahead of us, fifteen mercenaries ran past us. Judging by the conversations, Jedora had gone to extremes. Threats of intravenous sulphuric acid and a metal krogan dildo were proof of that. After those ran past, we all stood up and walked toward the rift to go to Okira's lab. We had to stop at every corner to carefully look through everything. Unfortunately, the krogan here was using some kind of alloy that shielded everything behind them from any of our scanners, which was surprising, to say the least. We never encountered any guards, however. Although, we could guess it from Shepard's very "polite" phrases and whole sentences, in which only prepositions and pronouns were censored. And everything was directed at the Luminaries and Jedora. Threats were also attached. And who's the sadist here?

After going through the rift and opening the door, which WORKED, I promptly shot the two Batarians and the turian there. Then the two geth shot two more people about three metres away. Hell, the scanners didn't see them. That's what Krogan used to make their dreadnought, huh? Now we had to hurry, cos they'd heard us. We jammed the comms immediately, but three batarians ran out to us, hearing the extraneous sounds and the "WHAT the..." of one turian on the live feed. However, these batarians didn't even have time to fire a shot. All three went down with holes in their heads, and we had already run on, nailing individual couples literally as we went. Everyone was on the front lines, trying to jam Shepard's squad, so we had to hurry.

The door to Okira's lab was open, and we realised something was wrong. The door is open, and Jedora's voice can be heard.

- That's it. The data's been sent. I got it, bitch! [You thought you'd get away, didn't you? [hate-fuelled spit]

- What about this one?

- This one? We'll sell this one. Who gives a fuck, as long as it's worth more!

As we looked into the lab, we saw Jedora, three turians, a batarian, five more dead turians, three humans, and Okira, equally dead. Everyone alive was looking around, but we were invisible. Standard mode when we're not moving. I decided to act quickly.

- Hey, you!" I shouted, walking in there. All five sentients looked at me and were immediately blinded by the flash of a special torch on my rifle instead of an under-barrel grenade launcher. However, it was not only a torch; it also had another function. It not only blinded, but it stunned by emitting infrasound. It was a special infrasound that would stun a human and similar sentient being for an hour, from which it would only hear a nasty ringing sound similar to a mosquito's squeak. There was a reason we experimented with pirates. They now saw only white and nothing but white, so it gave what was needed.

With my first shot, I nailed Jedora. The laser pierced her eye, then her brain and skull. Then hit the batarian in the throat. Two of the turians I nailed with one shot, hitting one in the teeth and neck and the other in the eye. The last one I nailed squarely in the forehead. And now, all five are dead.

- All right, disconnect the capsule and take it. We'll take it through the sunken ship. All right, Dagger, you're going to the rear of the Luminaries. Take no prisoners. The five of us will carry the capsule.

- Roger that. - all 25 goths went off to beat up the mercenaries. The five of us started to get the capsule.

The capsule was easy for us. Two Geth dragged the capsule, and three, including me, covered. And for a good reason - the two Batarians and three Turians who spotted us didn't even have time to fire a shot. They were immediately blinded and stunned, falling with holes in their heads. Then we met three more Turians, just around the corner, who were also stunned and not even holding weapons. They were just holding their heads, as the squeaking was unbearable. After shooting them, we started to take the longer route, as getting the capsule down the lift shaft was very difficult.

We didn't encounter anyone else along the way. No one at all. Everyone was between a hammer and an anvil. They were likely to survive if they wanted to be test subjects for Mordin or me.

Half an hour later, it was all over. The fight was over, and there was an oppressive silence. Shepard and crew had already boarded the shuttle, as had my geth. We were picked up a little later, and we headed for Normandy.

Kronos Station

Ghost sat in his chair and looked at the holograms with the red giant behind them. Ghost tried to distract himself by looking at various projects. However, another bout of curiosity still prevailed, and he opened the folder again with all the information his agents had gathered on the cause of his curiosity.

In front of Jack appeared photos of that ginormous object the geth had activated. In one photo, it was just rising out of the sand and holding its mass with two giant claws. In the next photo, the object took off with its claws folded at its sides. In three more photos, the object flew through the solar system accompanied by another ship that seemed small in comparison. In the last thirty photos, this object was pulling a core out of a Charon repeater, absorbing it, and then disappearing out of the solar system at repeater speed. There were also photos of the object from the Terminus systems, where it had repeatedly attacked pirates, mercenaries, drug dealers, smugglers, and slave traders. With the latter, the geth had done particularly strange things. All the crew were taken away, but the slaves were landed in colonies, and the strangest thing was that all the colonies belonged to the newly created Romano Colonial Società campaign. There was hardly anything special about that, however. The Ghost still couldn't figure out the other thing. What was this thing, anyway? A ship or it? It was a complicated question. On the one hand, it was a ship, but on the other hand, that look... The look of red penetrating eyes that touched the very soul... Oooh, how Ghost wanted to know its secrets. He knew for a fact that THIS was a likeness of the Overlord. Only the Overlord was nothing compared to this... This... The incarnation of power!

Ghost tried to calm down by taking a swig of two hundred grams of bourbon. His heart was pounding furiously, and Jack, beginning to feel like nothing, closed his eyes and put the hologram away. No, no, he was fine. There's nothing wrong with him. He's the head of Cerberus, and he shouldn't show his emotions. No one should see that.

To distract himself, Ghost decided to check out some new projects.

- Ghost? - Asian Lee said hello. Cerberus' new scientist, from Thailand.

- Lee. Did you get the data from Jedora?

- Yes, we did. It's-- It's phenomenal. What Okir was able to find out is-- I have no words--

- Let it go. Are you ready to start Project B?

- Yes, with this data, it's sure to be a success. However, we need the Azari and... a test subject," Lee explained, but Ghost already had an answer.

- The subject is Miranda Lawson. Biotic. Excellent genetic code. Currently in a coma. She's all yours.

- In a coma? Did she give... consent? - Lee hesitated.

- You don't have to worry about that," Ghost replied dryly.

- I... I understand.

- Over and out," Ghost said and switched off the connection, then decided to check all the projects carried out on the newly restored complex on Pragia.
