6 on the Citadel

6 pov.

After talking with the Captain Anderson about what I knew. It was obvious he seemed skeptical to say the least and said to meet on the bridge ready to depart. I followed Lilith Shepard to the bridge to see John giving Goo goo eyes at Ashley as she and Kaiden looked out a window to show a vast darkness sprinkled with shining lights as a large purpleish mass of metal flower petals float into view.

"Wow. So this is space....." I say aloud staring at the stars in the distance. "Didn't expect it to be like this. Too bad that purple thing is ruining the view."

"What do you mean ruin? That's the citadel. Largest station to house thousands of different species." Ashley said as I rolled my eyes.

"Look at it from my point of view. First time in space and I'm still not use to any of this." I say leaning on a console before getting glared at by one of the technicians. "I mean it was only 24 hours ago, I assume at least, that I knew humanity would never get into space. And now here I am on a ship filled with people who were trained for planetary and space sci-fi shit combat." I get off the console as I say all this. I then look to see the largest ship ever fly past

"Look at the size of that ship!" Ashley said as I stare in awe.

"The Ascension. Flag ship of the citadel fleet." Kaiden explained as the pilot jumped in.

"Size isn't everything." He explains as I look at Lilith seeing her reaction as neutral.

"Why is that joker?" Ashley asked as I looked back to the citadel.

"Just saying you need firepower too." Joker explained as I remember what happened when I found my first Fatman launcher. Images of legionaries body parts falling all around me went through my head with a big smile on my face.

"Whats got you so smiley?" Joker asked as I coughed into my hand wiping my smile away.

"Just remembering when I blew up a bunch of racist and slavers." I exclaim casually. He gave me a concerned look.

"We were in the middle of a war." I say rolling my eyes as we start docking. Honestly I expected it to be much harder of a docking too but only to be surprised when we came to a smooth stop. "I gotta say you are the best pilot I've ever flown with. Then again you're the only pilot I've flown with while in space so."

"Why thank you. See kaiden that's how you compliment someone. Not saying something that only I could do is good." He smirked as I left the Normandy following Lilith, John, Kaiden, and Ashley to some emissary place.

I got distracted more than once wondering if my caps are any good here. Flying cars, clean lakes, no one threatening to kill you over garbage and junk. It was beautiful. Then I heard someone talking to themselves as we entered into a room with an ambassador getting himself hyped up to do something. I didn't really pay attention. I just leaned over the edge to watch as machines flew past.

"Just the ground team from eden prime and their.... I don't even know what to call him." Captain Anderson explained as I turned around to introduce myself.

"Everyone calls me Six or Courier. All you need to know is I'm the deadliest mailman around." I hold out my arms in a laxed manner. The ambassador just glared at me before continuing to talk.

"I've read the reports." He stated snarkily. I rolled my eyes as Lilith and Anderson take over the conversation. I rub my helmet as I look away.

"And that's why I hate politicians." Ashley said crossing her arms.

"Tell me about it. The last ambassador I dealt with was too focused on getting the job done rather than caring about the people. But I can't really blame Crooke." I muttered the last part as Ashley and John left the room together while Kaiden Lilith and I left after to see them boarding one of the cars. I started to shake slight as my neck itched. I pulled out some mentats and popped a couple in before calming down.

"Ready Commander? Kaiden asked as I noticed him staring a bit much at her.

"Let's go guys." Lilith said as we get going.

"Let's go to the hearing. They don't do drug test right?" I joke as they look at me uncomfortable. "Alright what is it?"

"Its just you are just superweird." Kaiden explained as I looked at him and Lilith.

"I'll tell ya my life story after the trial." I say slightly frustrated. As we arrived at the hearing we got stopped by one of those cakato aliens. Turians I think.

"Commander Shepard, Garrus Vakarien. I was the officer in charge of the C-SEC investigation into Saren." He introduced himself offering his hand claw thing. I was still in bewilderment about everything.

"Who was that you were talking too?" Lilith asked shaking her hand with his.

"That was Executor Palin. Head of Citadel Security. My boss. He'll be presenting my findings on Saren to the council." I got distracted by the water works behind him before being dragged by Kaiden to Captain Anderson infront of 3 different species. One looked like a frog with horns coming out of his head. The 2nd was a turian. And in-between them was a very attractive blue skinned woman with tendrils flowing from the back of her head. Next to them was a 20 foot tall hologram which gave me flashbacks to the Sierra Madre. I scowled under helmet as Udina sprouted accusations.

"I resent these accusations. Nihilis was a fellow spectre and friend." I paid attention to the giant turians form seeing confidence and bravoda emanating from his projection.

"That helped you catch him off guard!" Anderson shouted as I shook my head.

"Captain Anderson you always seem to be involved when humanity makes false charges against me and this must be your protégé Commander Shepard and her Accomplice. The ones who let the beacon get destroyed. Who even is this?" He sneered which made my hand tighten.

"The mission to eden Prime was top secret. The only way you could know about it is if you were there." Lilith accused as the curious eyes of the blue chick gazed at me.

"With Nihilis gone his files were passed onto me." His rebuttal sang as if a cry of victory came from his mouth. "Now could you please answer my question."

"My name that I know of is Courier 6. Please just call me 6." I say taking off my helmet. "Put simply I'm the most dangerous mailman in the galaxy I'm guessing."

"Ah the bravdo nature of an ugly looking human." Saren stated as I laughed.

"And you look like a dick weasel who's compensating for something small with that hologram." I retort as he gets an irritated look as I noticed Anderson holding back a smirk.

"I read the eden prime reports and I'm unimpressed. But what else can you expect from humans." He stated matter of factly.

Lilith raised her arm to yell at him only for me to stop her as I screamed. "YOU CAN EXPECT ME TO WHOOP YOUR ALIEN ASS BITCH!!! CAN OF ASS WHOOP DELIVERED POST EXPRESS!!! SAME DAY SHIPPING MOTHERFUCKER!!!" Next thing I knew I was getting dragged out by Kaiden.
