[margareth-shepard]

The Traitor of the Galaxy

Just a normal day like any other in the Citadel. Every C-sec officer in their post, one and many civilians walking around. Cameras, keepers, aliens. But a shriek changed it all. An asari fainted in the feet of a turian.  Not just any turian, im afraid to tell. I was about to get to the elevator when I heard the shriek. I ran all the way to the docks and saw what we all thought it was a ghost. Saren Artemis. The Saren that shot himself in the head years ago by begin indoctrinated. I was in shock. A huge mob was surrounding him as he stood calmly in front of the people afraid of him . Just stood there.  Looking straight into my eyes.

-Commander. I was hoping I would run into you. Its not how it looks like. There is an explanation. Please take me to the council. I will not resist.

Still in shock, drew my gun and pointing to his face I signal him to keep on walking toward the elevator. What on Earth was he doing here? How the hell he survived? How?... We reached the elevator , me a few C-sec officers and Saren. The look on his eyes was so different, the didn’t glow blue anymore. They where brown. Almost tender. Ashamed.

-What are you doing here? Are you real Saren? How did you survived?- I almost burst.

-Well Shepard, you will know when I talk to the council. But I need you to help me.- he said in a creaky voice.

-How am I going to help you if you wont talk to me? I don’t even know how you are. Really..

-I understand, but I believe in your judgment.

As we reached to the Presidium, went thru the council door, the looks of horror and surprise where endless. They all looking at me, then at Saren all defenseless, all defeated. Still a eminence. A traitor.

-Commander! What is this! – Said the Salarian Chancellor. –What is the meaning of this!?

-He asked me to bring him here, he wouldn’t tell me why. But here we are. Saren, speak.

Rising his head. Looking at the counsil, fell on his knees and pleaded:

-I can no longer take the shame, If I  must be prosecuted I will take the charges, I don’t have a home to come to. I am charged of treason. . No one sees with pride the once believed dead, Turian Spectre Saren Artemis. I was indoctrinated, the only one that believed in me, till the end was Commander Shepard. After the Citadel explosion and evacuation the reapers took my body and reanimated it with the plans of using my knowledge to it final use. Kill Commander Shepard. It was a long processes since my implants were malfunctioning thanks to the last fight with the Commander and her crew. I was in the collector’s base the Illusive Man took control of. When they harvested humans they left me alone in the platform I was laying down on. I heard explosions and detonations. I assumed it was the Alliance and took and escape pod. I landed in a Cerberus Research Facility, where a scientist took me under his wing. He was a big fan of Dr. Tsoni. So I used to hear all sorts of news from Sheppars all the time, thanks to his obsession. He had me tied, in a secret  facility. They wanted to use me to kill Shepard if his agent seemed to fail. My implants started to fail, I broke free. I ran and got in a pod again with a lot of humans.

They attaked me, thinking I was geth or something. I resisted the attack. Almost dead, I reached Omega. Stole some Medi Gel and arrived here. Hoping the first face I would see was the Commander. I guess. She would have heard my plea. You would have kill me in the first sight of my face.

Everyone stood there silent. Not even the council knew what to do with him.

-If I’m going to be processed. I will not hesitate. I’ll accept my charges. But I wanted all of you to hear from me what really happened.

As he laid low his head, staring at the floor. Waiting to be, executed or something.

The Turian Chancellor walked forward and said:

-Saren, you where once a very respect member of our planet. Yet, you did committed  crimes of high treason to the galaxy. Yet we all knew, you where indoctrinated. You will go to jail and will wait for your sentence.

-Chancellor!  - I said without hesitate. I was there when he shot himself. I followed him through the galaxy with my team and heard great stories of what he was. He was indoctrinated. Maybe he was the cause for all this, but he was begin controlled. He wasn’t himself.  Thanks to him, I reached the controls of the Citadel. And opened to the destruction of the first reaper. My team is witness of this acts.

-Commander, this is typical human behavior. How is that humans are so easy to be deceived? You are open to make a case. But I asure you most people wont listen. Do as you must Spectre. Do as you must.

It was a very uneasy feeling begin there and see Saren be taken away, He helpless, once a menace now. Nothing. I stood there, looking directly at his eyes. His eyes, crying for help, for pity.

-I must do something. But what. I need to see what is really behind this.
