Maya Brooks

“You!” Shepard yelled as her eyes met the dark skinned woman. “I should have killed you!”

“Tsk tsk, how rude,” Brooks said. “You need to be taught a lesson. How did it feel, Shepard? How did it feel to think even for one moment that your friends had turned on you? That the love of your life would make you doomed forever?”

Shepard faltered. “I… how…”

“Did you think that the Illusive Man only made clones of you?” Brooks asked. “When the Cerberus base was destroyed, I found so many goodies that I so easily replaced nearly entire crew and no one noticed. They were such perfect replacements that even you were convinced they were the real ones.”

“I see you’re missing some,” Shepard said.

“Unfortunately not all of the clones were successful. I guess because Tali has never revealed her face, the Illusive Man chose not to have her reconstructed. That or he didn’t find her important to replicate,” Brooks said.

“You underestimate me, Brooks. I thought you’d learn by now,” Shepard said. “I don’t like to be fucked with. You’re all alone here. No one to save you from me.”

Shepard aimed her gun at Brooks and at the moment Legion, Tali, and EDI also pointed their guns out. “I wouldn’t do that,” Brooks said.

“Why not?!” Shepard said.

Brooks smirked. “Because if anything happens to me, the other Liara will get a message to send out a special video and the real Liara T’soni’s life will be ruined forever. And I have something for each and every one of the Normandy women. Imagine how Miranda would feel if Oriana saw her embarrassing secrets. Or if Ashley’s sisters saw hers. There’s a lot of damage these videos could do. Especially in the wrong hands.”

“What do you want?” Shepard said.

“To complete my set. Drop your guns and strip your clothes off,” Brooks said.

Shepard glared debating about which was worse.
