Scavengers

First topic message reminder :

Clean up was slow in the weeks after the battle for Earth had concluded. The rubble that remained of the citadel was still being picked over by many. Not all of them were the good guys. Commander Shepard's people had already come through and collected the body, leaving everything else as it was. They wanted no part of it. Not even to make it a memorial. 
At that moment a group of Salarians were poking through the rubble, scowling deeply. "No." One them said to the other. "This is not the area. It wouldn't have been here." 
"Quiet, fool." The other hissed. He was looking in the other direction, frowning deeply. "The Quarians are here. We don't want to tip them off. We can't afford to lose this to them. It's too much. Do you hear me?!"

Though Orinia knew that this wasn't the proper thing for him to do she didn't say anything. It felt natural to her too. It even helped her chest stop hurting so much. "Is this a perk of being the Primarch?" She asked him, trying now to wiggle out of the binds that held her to the chair and him. "Is this their idea of a welcoming party?" 

"Call Tali. She and Garrus were in this system this morning. They can get here in an hour." Brutal said, deciding the best course of action was to cut the metal and take it with them. He undid his omni blade and cut the top muttering to himself. "She'll help. That's what heroes do, right?"
