893 Back Home

After a short inspection for alien species and signals on the human-controlled side of the Anomaly, followed by a few drinks with the Ship's Admiral, a Portal was opened to the last reported location of Absolution, and they were finally on their way home for Nico's birthday. 

But when they reached the coordinates, there was a surprise waiting for them. Hundreds of Reaver ships had gathered for the party, and as soon as the Portal closed, they set off a magnificent orbital fireworks display. 

[Happy Birthday Commanders] The explosions read, surrounded by hundreds of sparkling lights. 

Max picked up the intercom and addressed the gathered Reavers.
