Mass Effect : Paragon Lost Page #7

are not even gonna cover it...

Your usefulness

has decreased to zero, human.

You have allowed Alliance

soldiers to threaten our mandate.

Hey, without me, those soldiers

wouldve taken out your drive core.

How bout a little appreciation?

Negative.

It is time for your ascension.

What...? No way! Dont even try it!

Anything happens to me,

this data goes to the Alliance!

I mean it!

Ill give eem all your secrets!

Your threats

are meaningless, human.

You really want to take that chance, do you?

You think you had trouble with a

few Marines? Whatre you gonna do

when you find the entire fleet parked

outside the Omega 4 relay? Huh?!

Would that "threaten your mandate"?!

Now, now, what you say we

just be reasonable here...

Incompetence cannot be tolerated.

In addition to soldiers, you have

allowed this asari aboard our ship.

She will taint our human materiaI.

Dont like the blue chick?

Fine! llll throw eeer out for ya!

Dont touch me, Messner...

No! Let me out!

You b*tch! Give me that!

Treeya!

Eject the asari!

Treeya!

No!

Go on, man:
never keep a lady waiting.

Ill take care of these bugs.

Thanks, Essex.

You watch yourself, Marine. Hoo-rah!

Hngaah!

See ya!

Youre next, ugly!

vega!

Hang on!

Nooo!

So you took the antidote

when I wasnt lookin... eh?

I guess you think youre pretty clever,

donttcha... you stupid grunt?!

Hows that workin out for ya...?!

Adios...

Were not done. Youvve still

got something I need.

Try not to die before I get back.

Come in! Treeya! Treeya, do you copy?!

Yes, vega. I can hear you.

Any idea where you are?!

Ive started to descend...

into the atmosphere...

But so has the ship-

you dont have much time!

Im coming, Treeya!

Heads up, a**hole!

Still with me, Essex?!

Aw, hell yeah! As long as they keep on comin,

I'll just keep knockin eeeem down!

Essex!

Collect this... you b*tch!

Essex!

Dammit...

Cmere!

Wheres the data?!

Its about damn time, Milque!

Hey! Better late than never!

Mommy! We can move again!

Thats right, honey. Now, I need you to be

a brave girI for me. Werre gonna be okay.

Yeah! Lieutenant James is

gonna save us. He promised...

But where is he? Hes here... right?

Dont worry, he hasntt forgotten.

vegallll be back soon, I guarantee it.

Yeah, I know that! But he needs me,

Im spposed to be his lookout!

April!

Brave kid you got there.

Come on! The data! Where the hell is it?!

Listen... I can pay you as much as

you want:
just name your price...

Please, vega... Help me.

You just cant leave me here like th-

You made your choice.

vega! We got more

drones inbound! Time to go! Now!

Not yet! I havent found Messnerss data cuff!

He doesnt have it!

What? Treeya-you have it?

Yes.

Shes Iying! Just... take me with you!

Its yours! Anything! I dontt

wanna die! Not like this!

No! Nooo-!

Were coming, Treeya!

The Reapers were responsible

for the Prothean disappearance.

You have to warn the CounciI.

We will:
that intels going

straight to the Alliance!

Well pick up the colonists first,

then werre coming after you!

Milque! Track her position-

dont lose her! And punch it!

Roger that.

Theres no time, vega.

Youlll have to make a choice...

And the loss of one is better

than the alternative...

One life... in exchange for

the lives of so many others...

I know youd try to save

everyone if you could.

But circumstances have made that

impossible, Im afraid. Itss not your fault.

I know you well enough to know youll

make the best choice... and I understand.

No!

vega! Come in vega! Do you read?

Were taking fire here, vega!

We need to evacuate, now!

Captain. Lieutenant vega here. I copy.

Im gonna try to reach you, sir, but...

- April!

- Hey, is that James?!

Lieutenant James, can you

hear me? Its Private April!

Were still here! Mommy and

me are waiting for you!

vega, what do we do, man?!

Its okay, vega...

You can do what needs to

be done. I know you can.

Weve analyzed your report, vega.

Now, is there anything else you

wish to add to the officiaI record

before we make our finaI determinations?

No, sir. Its all there.

We understand that you found yourself

facing a very difficult decision, Lieutenant...

and you chose to rescue a single civilian

carrying intel on these "Collectors,"

at the cost of hundreds of colonist lives.

We dont

envy you that position, son.

This intel will not only help us stop

the Collectors in the short term...

but in the long term... it will aid humanity

with ship and weapons technology.

You also proved the

effectiveness of an antidote

that will protect our people

against the Collector swarms.

In short, youre a hero.

And for exemplary service to the

Alliance, youre being commended.

Congratulations, Lieutenant Commander vega.

Congrats!

Your new orders, son.

Perhaps youll follow in Shepardss footsteps

after all. You might even work together.

Sir...?

Turns out the reports of Shepards death

were... well, letss just say "premature. "

So, whatd they give you?

Thank you! Letss see it.

Oh, hot damn! They want you

to put in for the N7 program!

Youll be with the best of the best!

Right up there with Commander

Shepard... just sayin... yknow...

Uh... Look, I dont know if

this means anything to you...

But I think youre a hell of a leader,

and Id still follow you into

battle anytime, anywhere, sir.

Thanks, but I dont deserve that.

Its a chance to start over, isntt it?

To move forward... To live the

heros life youvve always wanted...

I dont know what I want anymore,

Treeya... but I know Imm no hero.

Whoa, this looks even worse

than I imagined it would...

Thats Aprilss...

Youre gonna protect

us if the bad guys come back!

Is it true? Are you gonna?

How could we let this...?

Hey! Watch it! Whats wrong with you?!

Im sorry... Imm sorry...!

For exemplary

service to the Alliance,

youre being commended... Yourre a hero...

- In the

long term... it will aid humanity

with ship and weapons technology...

...proved the

effectiveness of an antidote...

...youre a hell

of a leader... the best of the best!

I know youd try

to save everyone if you could...

He promised!

Look out!

Mommy?

Hush... Its okay, baby... Itss okay...

Just close your eyes, honey...

James said hed come back... He said

hedd save us, Mommy. He promised!

God have mercy...

What did you do, man?!

Nooo!

I did this! I made the choice!

I abandoned them to die!

I didnt know how to save you! I'm sorry!

I would've given my life if I could!

There just wasnt enough time...

This is

Alliance Marine... Private April!

Reporting for duty, sir! Hoo-rah!
