Thrax was walking with Shepard, who was dressed up in some fancy alliance uniform. They were going to try and broker a peace between the turian, salarien, and the krogan.

Thrax had never laughed so hard in his life.

"The krogan is in no position to make demands!" Thrax heard a female salarien say. They walked into the conference room. The turian primarch and salarian dalatress were in there. Along with Wrex. "The krogan" has a name. Urdnot Wrex. And besides, I got my own problems. I've got reaper scouts on turchanka."

"What?" Thrax said alarmed.

"Yeah, so why should I care if your species goes extinct." Wrex said.

"Trying to draw out negotiation will get you nowhere Wrex, just tell us what you want." The primarch said.

"I'll tell you what I need... A cure for the genophage." Wrex said.

"Absolutely not! The genophage is non negotiable." The dalatress said.

"What's wrong salarien?" Thrax said not using her title.

"My people uplifted your people. We know them best."

"No I know my people best. I was there for the rachni wars! You and all the other cowards on the council spread your propaganda about how you were holding the line but I know better! You were on your last legs before we stepped in! Half of the turian fleet had been destroyed, the asari and salarien fleets were all but destroyed! Once you sent us out you to fight the rachni you all went back to your homworlds to lick your wounds while millions, if not billions of my brothers died!" Thrax was now yelling causing everyone (even Wrex) to take a step back.

"Yes and then after that you ceased to be useful. If you really were there for the rachni wars then you were there for the rebellion."

"Oh I wasn't just there for the rebellion. I lead it! My name is Gratlok Talz." Thrax said.

"The killer of worlds?" The primarch said.

"That's right. Maybe we did deserve some kind of punishment, but what you did was a boarder-line war crime. And when we start adapting to the genophage, when we're able to finally get back on our feet, you send a STG team to modify the genophage, and keep us like we are."

"We did no such thing." The dalatress said.

"Enough! Whether the krogan deserve a cure is academic it would take years, if not decades to formulate one."

"Oh really? Well my information says different. A salarien scientist named Maelon grew a conscious and tried to cure the genophage." Wrex said.

"Wrex are you insane? I saw what he was doing, it was monstrous, barbaric even." Thrax said.

"Maybe, but one thing you didn't know was that some of the females he experimented on had been successes, and the dalatress here, not wanting us krogan to actually help each other, sent in a STG team to take them." Wrex said as a video popped up on the screen, it showed an STG base and behind force fields were several krogan females.

"Where did you get this? It could be a fabrication! The dalatress said.

"Don't insult me! Those are my people, there immune to the genophage and your going to give them back!" Wrex shouted.

"Dalatress is this true?" Shepard asked.

"How will curing the genophage help my people?" The dalatress said.

"How long do you think you'll last against the reapers without help?" Shepard said.

"And I'll be the last friendly turian you'll ever see." The primarch said.

The dalatress put her face in her hand for a moment before she said "the females are on one of our research bases on Sur'Kessh."

"Let's go Shepard." Wrex said.

"I don't think so! These things take time krogan." The dalatress said.

"No as a council Spectre Shepard can oversee the transfer." Thrax said.

The dalatress had her head now in defeat.

"This is the salarien homeworld guys, there not use to seeing a krogan, let alone two krogan battlemasters."

"I still don't trust a word they say." Wrex said before he checked his shotgun.

"I'm with him." Thrax said.

"Look just trust me." Shepard said.

"It'll be ok guys." Liara said.

"Thanks kid." Thrax said.

"Wouldn't want anyone else than you here Liara." Garrus cleared his throat and Wrex looked at him and said "I guess I can make room for you too."

"Figured you gone soft sitting on that throne of yours."

"Remind me why we took him." Thrax said. Garrus and Liara laughed at that.

They all then heard a small alarm and the pilot, Cortez or something, said "Commander the salarian base says we don't have authorization to land."

"Should have known they would try to double cross us!" Thrax said angrily.

"Yeah, well let's see them try and stop a krogan air-drop!" Wrex shouted as he walked toward the door.

"Wrex wait." Shepard tried to no avail.

"Raah!" Wrex roared as he leapt off the shuttle and slammed against the ground. "We have an unauthorized landing." One salarien said.

"And who authorized you to hold my people hostage?" Wrex said before he used his biotics to throw several salariens against a wall.

"Oh for the love of!" Thrax muttered before he jumped down and flared his biotics menacingly. The shuttle landed and Thrax and Wrex stood there ready for a fight. But Shepard and the others stepped out of the shuttle and stood between the salariens and the angry krogan. "Stand down!" One salarien said to everyone's surprise, his own men.

"Commander Shepard, restrain you colleagues. We only found out about the transfer a few minutes ago."

"I'd like to avoid a diplomatic incident but you have something worth a lot to my friend here."

"Something worth killing for." Wrex said in a threatening tone.

"We can resolve this matter but I must insist that your friends remain under guard."

"No way, if I can't go then Thrax goes." Wrex said.

"Thrax is a member of my team. You can keep Wrex under guard but not Thrax." Shepard said.

"Very well. I thank you for being so understanding." Wrex walked with two salariens accompanying him and said "this whole planet smells wrong." He stated simply.

The four walked over to Wrex and said "I don't like this Shepard. I should be the one going in."

"You go in whelp and we're at war with the salariens." Thrax said.

"Ah come on old man. You know that was just good ol fashion krogan hot air." Wrex stated.

"Good point, no ones dead." Thrax said.

"How did you find out about the females Wrex?" Thrax asked.

"Sorry Thrax, there listening to every word we say." He said before he shouted "I like my salarien liver served raw!" To the salariens displeasure, "besides isn't this something the Shadow Broker should know?" He said before he looked at Liara and continued "too bad I don't know him, or her."

"I'm sure the Broker was very busy." Liara said.

"Sure. All I know is that these females are the best, and possibly last hope for my people." Wrex said.

"That's what I always liked about you Wrex." Liara said.

"My smoldering good looks?" Wrex said spreading his arms.

Liara giggled and said "there's that, and the fact that you never give up."

"Once the genophage is cured we krogan can get back to doing what we do best. Saving the galaxy from giant monsters." Wrex said.

"Never going to let us forget about the rachni wars eh?" Garrus said.

"You weren't there Vakarian, we earned the right to be proud of that." Thrax said seriously.

"And besides I didn't see a turian monument the last time I was at the citadel." Wrex said chuckling.

"Just wait til this wars over." Garrus said laughing to.

They left Wrex and went toward the salarien who managed to stop the show down, after the Shepard, Liara, and Garrus talked with another salarien who they knew from a planet called Virmire. They walked up to the elevator and the salarian who managed to calm them all down and said they have clearance before an alarm started sounding. "Please proceed quickly." The salarian said before he turned and left.

They arrived at the level and saw a familiar face. "Mordin?" Shepard said.

"Eye sight still sharp Shepard, surprise understandable, had not expected to return to STG." Mordin said in his rapid speech.

"Your back with STG?" Thrax said.

"Yes familiarity with genophage made me logical choice to help stabilize females" he leaned in close and said "also slipped word to Clan Urdnot about females."

"Your Wrex's inside source?" Shepard said.

Mordin nodded and said "females suffering with weakened immune system, side effect of Maelons experiments. Couldn't save these." Mordin said as the group saw multiple bodies covered in white tarp, all of them krogan sized. "I'm sure you did your best." Shepard said. "One female alive, immune to genophage, if she dies then cure likely to be problematic." They approached a krogan female in a containment pod, but that wasn't what concerned Thrax. What concerned him was that she was in restraints and wearing the garbs of a shaman. He grabbed the salarien working the controls of the pod grabbed him and yelled "your keeping a shaman in restraints?!"

"Thrax put him down." Shepard said.

"No for what he's done to her I'll break his neck!" Thrax shouted. In Krogan culture the Shaman was given almost as much respect as the clan leader.

"Did the best we could to help her. Out of restraints she put several salariens into hospital." Mordin said.

Thrax hesitated for a few moments before he released the salarien walked up to the female and said "my name is Gratlok Talz, I'm here to help you."

"Are you going to kill me?" She said in a slow, careful voice.

"You are literally the only future we krogan have." Thrax said.

"Oh goddess, the things done to her!" Liara said.

"What are you here for?" She asked.

"I'm here to help get the genophage cured." Thrax said.

They then heard explosions and an alarm. "Then I hope you brought and army." She said.

"I am an army." Thrax said.

They left the female and went to the elevator they had previously left. "Something wrong I can't get it to respond." A salarian said.

"Move." Thrax said before he pushed the salarian to the side and started to override the controls and then said "there done." Thrax said. Once the elevator door opened they saw a small box that started beeping. "Oh crap." Garrus said.

Thrax managed to shield Liara from the blast with his body, but that was it. "You ok kid?" Thrax asked sounding concerned.

"Yes, thank you." She said.

"We're fine too. Thanks for asking.". Garrus said.

"Wasn't worried about you Vakarian." Thrax grunted before laughing.

"Is there another way out of here?" Shepard asked.

"Through the door opposite of you." Another salarian said as the one Thrax pushed out of the way was now dead. "Let's go." Shepard said as they ran to the door, Thrax however saw an active terminal and activated it.

And what he heard disgusted him.

He joined up with Shepard and the rest and they went through the door. A ladder climb later and they met up with a squad of cerberus soldiers that were attacking the containment pod Mordin and the female were in. "Get the krogan!" One soldier said when he saw Thrax. They never got the chance as Thrax ran up, grabbed his hammer, started channeling his biotics into it, and slammed it on the ground causing a giant explosion. "Excellent! Affinity for destruction in tact Thrax. Technician dead, need you to authorize clearance." Mordin said as Liara started typing on the console.

"How you holding up." Shepard said. "Containment field holding, its strong but not designed to withstand gun fire." Mordin said.

"I'm fine Commander." The female said.

Just then an explosion rocked the pod and knocked them off there feet. What they saw was a Cerberus shuttle hovering outside with soldiers firing at the four. "Alright let's do this!" Thrax roared before he used his biotics to grip the shuttle and sent it flying into the building opposite of them. "Meet us at next checkpoint." Mordin hollered before he disappeared to the next level.

They saw a door open near where they entered and several Cerberus troops came pouring out. Thrax created a blade and used it to cut the cerberus ass hats in two. "Oh goddes!" Liara said, looking like she may be sick.

"If you want I can teach you that kid." Thrax said before he laughed at her face.

They waded there way through the gore that was the cerberus troopers and went through a door and saw two cerberus troops that were just standing around. Before Thrax or anyone could do anything a giant thing burst through the wall beside them and obliterated the cerberus troops. The thing turned to the four and roared before it turned and ran. "I'd hoped never to see one of those things again." Liara said sounding terrified. "Careful there goes the next Shadow Broker." Shepard said.

"Could have sworn he was muttering T'soni the entire time." Garrus said.

"Not funny." Liara said looking annoyed.

"I don't get the reference." Thrax said.

"That thing was the same species as the shadow broker." Liara explained.

"Weren't you there?" Garrus asked.

"To busy fighting a krogan warlord. How do you think I got this hammer?" Thrax said as they climbed stairs.

"Always though you just managed to buy it." Garrus said. They came to the same situation as before, cerberus troops firing on the pod. "Cowardly sons of bitches!" Thrax roared before he ran and charged right into the group. Slammed his head into one of them and broke his face plate sending shards into his head. He turned and quickly backhanded two soldiers off the edge to there deaths. He then grabbed one of the soldiers by the throat and squeezed popping his head off. He approached the final one. He tried to fire at him but all the shots were stopped, either by his armor,barriers, or his natural plating. He grabbed the gun and crushed along with the troopers hand causing a very mechanical scream.

"So you feel pain? Good that's going to make things all the more fun." Thrax said darkly.

"Go to hell alien!" The trooper said. Thrax grabbed the troopers other hand and quickly snapped it causing another scream.

"Now why are you here? To help the reapers?" Thrax asked.

"A unified and cured krogan race is a threat to humanity. We're here to stop you and your savage kind from ever becoming a threat!" The trooper yelled before his head exploded.

"What the fuck!" Thrax yelled.

"Hmm, seems cerberus took suggestion to use ocular flashbangs." Mordin said. Shepard cleared Mordin and the female but before he could go the final checkpoint the pod suddenly stopped.

"Cerberus must have cut power. Need you to re establish circuit to move to final checkpoint." Mordin said before another cerberus shuttle showed up.

This one faced the same fate as the other one. After power was restored they moved on. "Shepard pod under fire at final checkpoint, shields failing!" Mordin said.

"Alright double time it." Shepard said.

They reached the top of the building and saw several Cerberus troops attacking the pod. Thrax grabbed his hammer, charged it with his biotics and hurled it killing several. "Alright Mordin your clear." Thrax said.

"Yes,clear. No wait! Picking something up on sensors! Something big." Mordin said.

Just then a giant mech came hurling down from above. It was giant, bigger than Thrax by at least six feet. On one arm it had a giant gun, and on the other it had a giant missile launcher. Thrax saw it was aiming its gun at the pod and quickly threw up a barrier to protect the pod. To his surprise it actually took some effort to sustain the barrier.

"Gah!" Thrax grunted.

Once the pod was out of the mech's line of sight Thrax turned on it and used his biotics to push it into a wall. And to his continual surprise, the mech appeared undamaged. The group unloaded there weapons on the mech. "Shit that thing has strong shields!" Thrax said to Garrus who had taken cover beside him.

"Well time to overload them." He said with what passed for a Turian grin.

Garrus popped out of cover after he punched something into his omni-tool and shot it at the mech. Thrax could see its shields falter and he launched a warp at it, the same time Liara and Shepard did. The mech went up in a giant explosion, the warps obviously messing with its power source and causing an internal explosion which also hit several of the cerberus troops that had landed with the mech.

The shuttle landed and Thrax said "you missed all the excitement whelp." Thrax said as Wrex stepped out of the shuttle and approached the female and offered his hand to help her out. She reached out and instead of grabbing his hand she grabbed his shotgun and fired it twice at two cerberus thugs that weren't killed in the explosion. She threw Wrex's shotgun back at him and said "I'm not a helpless Varren Wrex."

Wrex looked at Thrax and Shepard and said "pff! Women." Before he walked towards the shuttle with Shepard and the rest following him.
