((Continued from Artemous Tao Cluster))

Davids ship came to a sudden stop as its sped out of the Noveria.. the large blue planet below his ship glisened from the light of the suns beams hitting the ice and refelcting into space. He sped off downwards toward it.. opening a Comm with Port Hanshan.

"Port Hanshan this is the 'Avenger'... requesting permision to land."

"Roger that Avenger... please proceed to dock 18."

With that, the ship sped towards the Port... flying past many different sizes and shapes of ships... most were Salarian.

David walked inside the large facility, his weapons still on... he had contacts inside that allowed him to keep his weaponry. As he entered the doors, his mind flashed, showing the image of the girl he had encountered back in Artemous Tao. He looked down at his armour... he needed to get it removed, somehow.

He didn't know what was going on... why did he keep seeing this woman, always covered in blood and speaking in a snake-like voice. He was confused and dazed. He had somehow survived death.

"Evening sir, how may I help you?" One of the receptionist said, David simply pulled out a piece of paper.

"Oh, my appologies Mr. Collins, please proceed inside."

David moved through the hallways, passing Turian guards, who asked for clearance. Eventually, he came to his destination, walking in and looked around the large bar inside the Hotel. Finding who he was looking for... the old turian who had turned his life for the worst. David drew his sidearm, moving towards the Turian quickly, he seemed to notice, starting to get up as David pushed him back into the seat and raised the pistol to his head.

"Sit. You're got some questions to answer."

David pushed the gun into the Turians head... forcing him to speak.

"David! Get out of my site, traitor! You destroyed the ship somehow... I will kill you!" The Turian said, grabbing Davids pistol and firing it into the air, causing all the Civilians in the bar to scatter.

He then lowered the gun to Davids face...

"My brother was on that ship... you killed him, therefore, you must die!" He shouted.

David blinked, the world seemed to slow down as the lights inside the bar flickered off... leaving the only light in the room coming from that of the sunlight outside.

"No!"

The voice had screamed through Davids mind, and apparently the Turians too... who cried in pain.

"She... shes... NO!" The Turian screamed, holding his ears and backing into the chair, tripping over onto the floor.

"Stay away from me... she is...--"

There was another loud scream, followed by the scream of the Turian.

"NO!!!!!!!!!!!" He screamed loudly. The lights flickered on, the figure of the girl standing in between David and the old Turian.

"Please... please... NO!" He screamed again as the Turian slammed his head into the table.

"She is a curse-- NOTHING MORE! ARG!"

And with that. The Turian mumbled his last words.

"Flee. Flee from the demon--"

David opened his eyes, his heart was racing. He stood up, apparently having been knocked down somehow...

He moved over to the Turian. Who was seemingly dead, blood dripping out his ear.

David picked up his pistol, placing it in his holder and walked out. He couldn't remember anything but the searing pain he had felt when the scream had pierced his soul. Something evil... something fearfull.

He moved out, signalling to the guards outside to move in and clean up the place, moving off into the other side of the bar that was still populated with people. He ordered a drink and had a long think about what was going on... his mind ached. He needed rest.

David moved through the hallways... his mind racing, aching... pain was pounding into his skull. He quickly ran into an old friends office, panting from the pain.

"David? What the hell... you look awful! Sit down friend."

The little man in red armour seating him infront of his desk, giving him a glass of water.

"So... uh, what brings you to my neck of the woods?"

"I need help Jones, you owe me. Time to return the favour."

"Of course John! What would you like me to do...?" The little man said... tyring to sound enthusiastic.

"Get this damn armour off me! Fast! It's doing something to me!" David yelled, causing the little man to cower a little.

"Why can't you just take it off...?" The little man said... walking out from his desk and examining the armour.

"Oh... what the hell? Its melted into you're skin David! How the hell did this happen...?"

David was getting seriously angry and frustrated... he didn't know why.

"I don't know! You're the damn armour specialist!" David bellowed, his voice echoing down the halls of the building.

"Calm down David, c'mon, follow me."

David stood up, his head was swirling from the pain in his mind. He moved through the hallway, following the man who was almost half Davids height. They came to a room with a large machine... David couldn't take the pain any longer... he grabbed the armour torso and pulled it as hard as he could... searing pain burnt down his chest, he screamed out in pain as the torso fell of... parts of Skin and blood all over it... David fell to his knees, a voice rang through his mind as Jones moved infront of him, pulling him into the Machine.

"Yes... rest. Allow me to consume you."

The voice died... along with David's thoughts. His body shutdown... allowing whatever was inside him full access to whatever it wanted.
