Noveria

"Joker, set a course for Noveria."

"Right away Commander."

After a frosty reception from the port they landed. Shepard was picking out her team at the airlock.

"Umm...Commander?" Ashley was trying to cover herself still.

"Yes Williams?"

"Its an ice planet. I don't think my attire will be safe."

"Relax Ashley. You are staying on the ship. Liara is going to borrow your armor. We'll get her a full wardrobe after the mission."

"Thank you Ma'am."

"Oh while we're gone you can assist Joker here on the bridge." Shepard smirked.

Ashley went red with embarrassment as Joker looked her over and thanked Shepard.

The encounter with the security was another problem. Shepard knew that Sergeant was going to be an issue.

"Gianna Parasini." The woman who diffused the situation greeted them.

"Thanks for the help."

"Happy to."

"Has anyone unusual been through here lately?"

"An asari Matriarch came through. Name Benezia."

"Benezia? She is here?" Liara asked.

"We need to speak to her." Shepard said.

"Matriarch Benezia left for the Peak 15 research lab days ago. To the best of my knowledge she is still there."

"How can I get to Peak 15?"

"Anoleis for clearance to leave this port. His office is on the main level. Left just out of the elevator."

"Thank you."

Shepard saw the look on Liaras face when she turned back.

"I imagine you want to talk to me about Benezia?"

"Are you okay?"

"I...I don't know what to say to her."

"I understand." She touched Liaras shoulder. "Lets go see what we can learn."
