Iagos Incoming!
The Normandy II enters the Iagos system, dropping out of hyperspace to reveal a green, blue and white planet that seems slightly larger than Earth, illuminated by a yellow sun. There is a sparse belt of asteroids surrounding the planet, and if one looks closely enough,  an asteroid falls toward the planet in random areas now and again. The crew members immediately get to their stations in order to calculate a flight path, analyze data and prepare Cyrus with any thing he needs to maneuver through the field.

Once the ship is through the asteroid belt, a summons is sent to each of member of the quintet, directing them to make their way to the Cargo Bay. Upon their arrival, Urdrex is waiting for them, along with five crew members who are each holding a Cerberus-logo admin suit, followed by black and red Cerberus body armor.

Once everyone is accounted for, Urdrex will motion for everyone to take a suit.

"You'll all wanna get dressed as the atmosphere here is hazardous. We're having some trouble getting the location of the mercenary base, so we may have to wait until we're closer to the planet before we can try again. The area where your special plant is is about forty human miles from the Mercenary Base. It's your choice on where you wanna start, but if those mercs are worth their salt at all, they're gonna have long-range scanners of some kind.

We can all take the shuttle down and hope it's enough to keep us off their scanners until we get what you all need. Then we proceed to the base and hopefully pick up the kid." Urdrex says.

Alerron smashes his way through several of the stone walls inside the base as the klaxons continue to blare.

"7:30 REMAINING UNTIL DETONATION."

He will arrive at inside of a room full of cages housing several children. Some are very young, the oldest may be Cyrus' age. There are twenty-five children. The cages seem new, as if they were built just for this purpose.

"Aleea, Urdrex, Cyrus, where are you?" he calls out over the commlink.

Seeing the children in cages made Mar'i's blood boil.

"Stand back, little ones," she said, giving the children fair warning before taking down the cage doors with her starbolts.

"Alerron, we must get the children to safety."

Aleea checked her heads up display. "We're about a dozen meters from your position and closing."

Meanwhile in the forest Katima had gained the upper hand by being behind the majority of the soldiers, but there were still a few at the edges. She blasted one, but took a solid few shots to her shoulder from another before he was dispatched.

A merc goes down, but the others are still well-behind Katima. They do their best to catch up until they realize she's running back toward the base.

They immediately ease their pursuit. There's no way these fools can rescue all of those children and themselves in just seven minutes.

Yason does his best to keep up with Katima, running as fast as his little legs can carry him, but he's only a boy. He's exhausted, even as he can see that Katima is injured.

"What will we do? They will just wait until we have nowhere else to run." he says, fear in his eyes.

Alerron dislikes this as well and he intends to see that Black Sun mercenaries destroyed for this. They were the ones to pursue him when he escaped from Blackfire and they were now trading in slaves. They had made a terrible enemy in him this day.

"Listen to me, little ones. I will need you all to stay inside the cages until I am done. We are going to get all of you out of this place and take you somewhere safe. I promise you." he says.

"Katima, are you all right?"

Mar'i's blood was boiling. These were children.

"We will free you," Mar'i said. "You will never have to worry about this scum, ever again."

"I'm fine," Katima lied to Alerron, pausing in her movement to stop for Yason.

"Little Prince, we will be fine. I have promised you no one shall hurt you." She scooped him up, even though she was in great pain and bleeding. "I will not let anyone harm you."

She continued on carrying Yason, keeping her eyes peeled for attack.

Alerron knew that Katima was a formidable warrior, but he also knew she'd have been back here by now if there was no trouble.

"We need to get the children to the Normandy, but it will take longer than we have for them to land so that we can get the children aboard and take off. Aleea, how many people can you safely teleport at one time?" he asks.

Aleea did some quick calculations. "Depends. I can't teleport them inside the ship... and I'll need a path for the beam inside too... but I can get them onto an exposed part. If he opens the hatch... Yeah. I can get them all."

"We need to get Katima in here. Once we do, I have a plan that may wok for all of us." he says.

Katima continued forward carrying Yason, her pace slower than she would like it to be even as she showed no sign of giving up. Every so often she would fire her staff back at a threat.

"Where, exactly, is Katima? You'd think someone who could fly would be here by now." Urdrex says, waiting for the Normandy to home in on his signal. Once he got confirmation that it was locked on, he looked at the group.

"If we're all walkin' out of here, we need to come up with somethin' now." he says.

He knew he shouldn't have let her go alone. He would not make that mistake again.

"Mar'i, aid me, please. We're going to make it easy to get everyone on the Normandy at once." Alerron says.

"Everyone else, get to a corner of the cage and do not move until we tell you otherwise." he says, looking toward the ceiling.

He fires several starbolts at said ceiling, blasting away as much of the rock and and steel as he can before it hits the ground and counting on Mar'i to take care of the rest.

Aleea moved the others toward the corner, getting in front of the children, just in case.

Mar'i nodded, firing her starbolts at the ceiling.

Urdrex gets behind in a corner and covers his head as the debris falls down.

Soon enough, the ceiling has been blasted away, revealing the blue sky above.

"Everyone, gather together and be ready to move as soon as I return." Alerron says.

The he rises into the air and flies off toward the sounds of blaster fire and Katima.

Katima is struck again in the exchange of blaster fire, but again she is able to take down her assailaint. This strike, though, only serves to exacerbate her previous injuries and her forward motion even with the powers of her ring, slows further. It slowly sinks in that she may not make it back.

And then, she sees a blur in the sky, one that she knows so well. Alerron.

"We're going to make it, Little Prince. Alerron is coming for us."

She carefully puts Yason on the ground and points out Alerron to him.

"See? We are saved."

And then, she collapses.

Yason looks to the sky and sees the blur, but he doesn't understand how they'll be saved by a blur.

When Katima collapses, though, Yason will take anything he can get.

"HELP! HELP US! DOWN HERE!" he screams.

Aleea kept a tight grip on her weapon, just in case more trouble found them.

As soon as Alerron can pick the boy out of the foliage, his fix upon an injured Katima. The next thing he searches for are her attackers

The moment he finds them, his starbolts fire from the heavens like lasers and men die, vaporized instantly.

He lands, picks up Katima and the boy and flies them back to the base. This all takes under a minute.

When he lands, he looks to Aleea.

"Change in plan. How far can your Zeta Beam get us away from /here/? If we can get far enough from the blast, the Normandy can simply pick us up as soon as possible." he speculates.

"5:59, 5:58...." the alarm signals.

"Anywhere on the planet that's open space," Aleea said.

A map of the planet danced in her HUD. "Got a good spot," she said.

She opened a panel on her right gauntlet, programming the Zeta-Beamer.

"Coordinates locked. Let's go."

"Children, gather together behind Aleea and she will make sure we all get away from this place, and you will never be held prisoner again." Alerron says, turning to Urdrex and handing him Katima.

"Urdrex, make sure Katima is seen to once the Normanday arrives. I have another mission I must complete before this place explodes." he says.

"Young prince, go with my sister Mar'i. She will make sure you are safe." Alerron says.

"Aleea, take them now." Alerron says, dashing back down the hallway of the base and deeper inside.
