Shepard Sat In His Seat, Next To Liara and Mordin The Three Exchanged Silent Glances As The Volus Councilor Raised His Concerns About The State Of The Galactic Economy and The Status Quo Was Similarly Brought Up By Mordin. "Councilors, Perhaps Were Should Focus On The More Pressing Issue Right Now? The Galactic Economy Is In Shambles, and Needs To Be Addressed Immediately." Says Shepard. "What Do You Suggest Commander?" Asks Bakara. "Volus Companies Can Keep Things Stable, While The Turian, Asari, and Quarian Fleet's Go About Securing and Protecting Our Interests. Meanwhile Salarian Forces and STG Will Shadow Both Groups, and Ensure Their Protected and Maintained." Says Shepard. "Makes Good Sense, I Like It." Says Victus. "I Agree, My People Are In No Position For An Organised Operation Of This Kind, and Have Little Interest In Continuing Warfare At The Moment, So We Can Focus On Civilian Matters While Trade and Commerce Is Protected and Maintained." Says Councilor Balak. "Liara, Have Your Agents Speak With The Shadow Broker, Try and Arrange A Number Of Supply Line Connections." Says Shepard. "Yes Shepard." Says Liara As She Gets On The Line To Feron.

"What's The Status Of Our Military Forces?" Shepard Asks. "Our Fleet's Have Begun To Slowly Rebuild After The Attack On Earth, But The Human, Turian, Asari, and Geth Fleets Received The Worst Of The Damage." Says Mordin. "Councilor Garrel, Can You Speak To Admiral's Koris and Zen and Have Them Speak To Their Captains To Assist?" Shepard Asks Garrel. "Of Course Commander, I'll Send Word At Once." Says Garrel. "Balak Try and Have Your People Assist In Station-Wide Repairs and Maintenance, While The Elcor Help Clear Rubble and Debris, and The Geth Help Decide The Most Effective and Demanding Area's." Says Shepard. "We Can Do That Much." Says Balak. "Excellant, For Now Try and Keep The Peace." Says Shepard More To Himself Than The Others. "We'll Get It Done Commander, Don't You Worry About It." Says Bakara. "Shepard, You Still Have That Meeting With Khalisah al-Jilani and Ms. Allers." Mordin Reminds. "Thanks For The Reminder, Come One Liara, We Best Not Let The Bitch Spin A Smear Peace Again." Says Shepard, Referring To al-Jilani as "Bitch" To Emphasise His Dislike On Her Journalism Practices.

Shepard and Liara Were Seated Before A Crowd Of Cameras and Two Familiar Reporters, Liara Was Drinking From A Glass Of Thessia Red, and Shepard Was Having A Glass Of Elysium Whiskey, Not Unlike The Illusive Man, Both In Style and In Class. Shepard Had His Whiskey As No Less Than A Double Malt, He Preferred A Triple, But Double Was The Only Thing On Hand. The Interview Would Be Between Liara and Allers, and Him and The Bitch. "This Is Westerlund News Reporter Khalisah al-Jilani Here With Commander--Sorry, Councilor Shepard. Councilor, How Does Feel To Be Humanities Newest Councilor Following The Resignation Of Your Former Commanding Officer, A Man You Appointed As Humanities Councilor, and The Execution Of The Previous One?" Says Jilani Managing To Remind Shepard Of Past Events, In A Seemingly Innocent Questioning. "Not Like I Imagined, I Fully Expected To Die, When I Jumped Into The Crucible's Energy Beam, Instead I Became The First Synthesised Being In The Galaxy." Says Shepard. "What About The Fact That Your Now Leading The Council of Nine?" Says Jilani. "Not Much Different From A War Council, But Quick To Get The Hang Of." Says Shepard. "What Of The Rumours Of A New Citadel Military?" Asks Jilani.

Sighing Shepard, Sips His Whiskey. "There Will Be A New Citadel Military, But More Linear and Streamlined Than It's Predecessor." Says Shepard. "How So?" Asks Jilani. "Tell Me What You Think The Asari, Salarian, Krogan, Turian, and Human Military's Best Assets Are?" Shepard Asks her. "Well The Asari Have Commandos and Huntresses, The Krogan Are Expert Shock Troops and Infantry, Salarian's Are Great At Sabotage, Infiltration, and ****, Turians Are Good At Just About Anything Military, and Human's Are Highly Adaptable." Says Jilani Off The Top Of Her Head. "Exactly, So The Turians Will Be One Of Our Armies Primary Bulk Enlistments, Alongside The Geth, Batarians, and Krogan and Quarians. Turians Will Be The Primary Ground Troops, The Geth Will Be Our Primary Artillery and Mortar Units, Batarians Will Be Our Secondary Primary Ground Troops, and Quarian Marines Will Be Our Engineers and Technical Soldiers. As For The Krogan, Most Will Be Our Infantry Shock Troops and Heavy Weapons Specialists." Says Shepard. "Interesting, and The Fleet?" Asks Jilani. "The Fleet Will Be Mostly Asari, Turian, Human, Quarian, Geth, and Salarian Ships. We'll Be Mass-Producing Ships With Alpha-Thanix Weapons, CBT, and Silaris Armor. We'll Also Be Attempting To Mass-Produce Cloaked Dreadnoughts and Frigates Based Off Of The Normandy's Technology." Says Shepard. "Thank You For Your Time Councilor." Says Jilani, As She Finishes Their Interview Alongside That Of Liara and Allers Own.

Getting Up, Shepard and Liara, Leave To Board The Normandy, Before It Docks At The Shipyards, Where A Brand New Dreadnought Is Being Built. Named The Anderson's Hammer, The Ship Was Of A Modified Asari Design, With Turian, Geth, and Salarian Design Elements. It's GARDIAN Lasers Operated Off Of Ultraviolet Frequencies, Had A Sovereign-Based Power Plant, and Element Zero Drive Core. The Ship Also Had A Couple Hundred Thanix and Alpha-Thanix Weapons, The Weapons Recoil Was Used To Empower The Ships Kinetic Barriers. A Sister Ship, Named Shepard's Lance, Was Also Being Built. But As For Anderson's Hammer, The Hull Had Silaris Armor Over It's Most Critical Area's and The Rest Were Based Off Of Reaper Capital Ship Plating. Furthermore, The Ship Had A Stealth System, and It's Systems Were Boosted By Processing Power Gained From At Least Twenty Geth Primes Networked Into The Ships Systems, and Quarian Engineers Were Helping To Increase Efficiency and Productivity Of Ship Hardware and Overall Production Of The Ship Itself, Shepard Would Command The Anderson's Hammer As His Personal Flagship, The Shepard's Lance Would Be Given To His Mother's Direct Command, and The Normandy Would Lead The Citadel Attack Recon and Stealth Flotilla, With Joker Naturally At The Helm Of The Squadron and The Normandy.

A Mark-II Legion-Class VI Assisted In Targeting and and GARDIAN Laser Efficiency, While The Ships Also had Substantial Torpedo and Missile Launch Bays. The Missiles and Torpedoes Has Separate Functions and Purposes, Some Were Disruption Torpedoes, Other's Plasma and High-Impact, But There Were A Few EMP Torpedoes, Torpedoes That Expanded On The Disruption Torpedoes Ability To Disrupt A Targets Kinetic Barriers and Shields By Shutting Down Life-Support and Critical Electrical Systems. All Torpedoes and Missiles Had A IFF Receiver In Them. The Receiver Identified Friendly Ships From Unfriendly Ships, and Operated On A Revolving Frequency, One That Could Only Be Decoded By A Mark IV Legion AI, Which Was Always Installed On The New Ships Shackled At First, But Hopefully Not Forever. The Ships Were Managed By Multiple VI's That Had Implants That Were Surgically Implanted Into An Individual's Body, To Maximise Individual Efficiency.

As The Normandy Landed At The Shipyard, Admiral Hackett Presented Himself With Rear Admiral Hannah Shepard, Shepard's Mom, and David Archer. David Had Begun To Help Build The New VI's and AI Modules, His Autism and Keen Intelligence Provided Unexpected Results, and Shepard Planned To Have Him On Board The Anderson's Hammer As Head Of Engineering and Technology Levels. David Was Giving The Admiral's The Run Down On The Progress Of Both Ships, While Shepard and Liara Arrived. "My Little Boy, Mr. Archer Was Just Telling Me How You Saved Him From Cruel Experimentation By Cerberus." Says His Mother." Says Hannah. "How Are You David?" Shepard Asks The Savant. "Better, The Synthesis Has Helped Me Understand Things Better, and Gavin Has Been Helping Me Understand What You Did For Us All." Says David.

Shepard Nearly Killed David's Brother Back When The Three Were Working On Project Overlord, Shepard Found It Hard To Stand David's Brothers Presence, But The Man Had A Irreplaceable Mind and Intelligence. Shepard Had Him Helping Admiral Zen and Miranda Designing New Legion VI's, While David Helped Design The Modules and AI's. The Brother's Had Reconciled Somewhat, and Shepard Wasn't In The Position To Say Something About His Dislike and Distrust Of David's Brother. "How Goes Production Of The Hammer and Lance?" Shepard Asks. "Extremely Well, Our Men Are Quite Eager To Get Things Done, These Two Ships Will Represent The Best Of The Council Fleet." Says Hannah. "As For The Sacrifice It's Still In Planning." Says Hackett, Referring To The Prototype Normandy SR-3, Named In Honor Of Shepard's Fallen Squad mate Lieutenant Kaidan Alenko.

Kaidan Died On Virmire, His Life Came To An Abrupt End, and Shepard Had Suffered A Latent PTSD Trauma From It, As Such He Had A Meltdown In Custody, As He Was Left To Reflect On His Past Actions. From The Incident On Akuze, To The Massacre On Eden Prime and Kaidan's Sacrifice On Virmire. Shepard Had A Number Of Long-Standing Serious Emotional Scars From These Events, and Then The Reapers Invaded, and Shepard Had To Contend With The ****'s Of Legion, Thane, and Countless Of Thousands, No, Countless Billions Of Innocents.

"Good, I Want The Production To Be Completed Within The Next Two Months. We'll Need To Show Them As A Show Of Unity When The New Government Military Is Unveiled." Says Shepard. "Agreed, We've Also Made Plans For The Krios and Jenkins To Move Out Of The Planning Stages." Says Hackett. "Very Good, For Now Though, Maximise Results and Resource Use." Says Shepard As Glyph Appears Beside The Councilor. "Councilor Shepard, We Have Received Reports Of A Crisis On Eden Prime." Says The Annoying Drone. "Figures." Mutters Shepard As He Departs.
