[Omega wasn't exactly a vacation spot, but it wasn't knee-deep in Reaper territory either. Shepard and the crew had had something of a reprieve from the war even if Shepard was still pissed he was stuck on the space station.

And now the war had found him again. It was time to get back to work. How ironic would it be to have helped Aria take Omega back only to lose it to Reapers? On top of that, the newcomers to the universe probably had no idea what was going on.

That explains why Shepard is out and armed to the teeth. He hasn't taken a break since the first Adjutant sighting. He's operating on caffeine, discipline, and the fact that he's just plain pissed.

He's not cutting corners either, throwing himself into larger groups to clear out safe areas for people. Vanguards are always a force to be reckoned with, and Shepard is no exception.

So maybe you're in over your head, maybe you're trying to help out, or maybe you just don't have a clue what's going on. Whatever the case, Commander Shepard is probably in your area.]

[Why worry indeed? When you're a soldier enhanced for stamina and strength and then beefed up with cyborg implants, you tend to be able to go longer than most people as well. When you're Shepard, you tend to just need to be pissed in order to keep fighting longer than the average soldier.

He's forcing his own enemy Adjutant into the air with a shockwave, the blue energy field just barely fading around his body before he explodes forward to hit the creature with a biotic charge. His momentum carries him and his shredded foe into the line of sight of Conner, and Shepard is there just in time to witness the death of another enemy.

They're mostly safe at the moment, so he takes a moment to catch his breath and check his shotgun while Conner finishes off his opponent.]

[The noise of the charge was something that he heard before he saw Shepard. It wasn't a sound he'd heard before and it drew his attention enough that he saw Shepard now as he came into view. That...had been so cool. He didn't know what it was, but he was going to find out, so he put more effort behind the crushing force and dropped the crumpled mess.

A quick scan of the area told him that for now nothing was there. Conner walks over.]

That was a pretty sweet move there.

[Shepard glances at his ally for a bit. The guy doesn't look too old, definitely doesn't look like a seasoned soldier. Still, he'd handled himself pretty easily.]

I could say the same for you.

[He'd probably, maybe, be surprised when he finds out anything about Conner. Just like Conner would be surprised to find out things about Shepard. He smiles and wipes his hands before resting them on his hips.]

Can't say I've tried it out in a while. So, you know what these things are? I saw the chick talking about how they were bad news but...well, y'know that's all I know.

The chick?

[Yeah, definitely not too old... or something. In any case, Shepard thumbs over his shoulder at the group they'd just eliminated.]

Reapers. All you really need to know is that they want all organic life in the galaxy eliminated, and these guys aren't even the most dangerous ones.

Uh yeah. she had dark hair, seemed to know what was going on. Didn't catch a name though.

[He looks over at the mess left by them and frowns. Reapers, bad news was an understatement and their goal seemed...well it seemed to fit.]

Of course they aren't. That'd be asking too much. You've faced them, haven't you?

[Oh, right. The 'other' Shepard. Yeah, he remembers seeing that extranet post now. He'd been too busy actually killing Reapers to make his own post. Well, at least she got the news out.

Also, yes he's faced them before. That's a bit of an understatement as well, so he shrugs a little.]

I've dabbled.

Dabbled, huh?

[Conner hadn't seen things like these before, he was used to other, less abundant enemies. It was new, but it wasn't so strange, not something he couldn't handle. This guy was interesting and he guessed he was from this universe if he could tell what they were.]

Not my usual dose of ass kicking targets, but if they want to wipe me out, I can change it up a bit. Got any tips? I like a challenge but if there's a lot of them I'm not exactly gonna want to spend a lot of time with one.

[Shepard points two fingers towards his temple like a gun.]

Go for the head. It seems to drop them the quickest.

[But dude doesn't have a gun so...]

You plan on punching all of them to death?

The head. Course it's the head.

[Duh Conner, it's always the head. He snorts and raises a brow.]

I could, but doesn't sound too fun. I've got a few more tricks up my sleeve I guess I can bring out.

[Shepard raises an eyebrow.]

If I hadn't have seen you fight, I would tell you to lay low and let us handle it. Now I'm more inclined to ask you to help out.

[He shrugs.]

Being honest, if you told me to lay low, I wouldn't have listened. Dude, you've got my help whether you ask or not, two's better than one, right?

In my experience it is.

[He checks his shotgun and nods.]

All right, follow me.

[Conner's glad that there was no argument on the whole helping thing. He rolled his shoulders back and moved away from where he'd been standing.]

[Shepard led on like he usually did, taking the lead because it's so natural to him. He only stopped when they reached a corner and he could see some adjutants around the bend. Glancing back at Connor, he motioned for him to halt and spoke barely above a whisper.]

Small group. I'll hit them quick and get their attention, you finish them off. Sound good?

[He stopped when he was told, keeping quiet and avoiding asking what was up. It was obvious before Shepard spoke and when he gave out details for a plan, he nodded with a smile. Oh he could do that all right.

Conner brought his hands together and rolled his shoulders back as he pushed his arms forward and stretched out.]

Totally. Let's do this.

[It wasn't great that these things were here and so dangerous, but on the other hand, it was something to do other than the repairing job he worked to earn the credits.]
