((Next time Ironwolf, wait for approval.  You had a good character, just don't jump in until it's said you can please.  It's considered kind of rude lol.))<br/><br/>http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/masseffect/images/c/c8/Omega_03.jpg (http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/masseffect/images/c/c8/Omega_03.jpg)<br/><br/>The NZ location was centered around Omega, a station that was home to people that didn't have anywhere else to go, to lawless criminals of every sort, to those that didn't like how the Council ran things and wanted to get away from it all.  Solarians, Asari, Krogan, human, and dozens of other species lived in the mined out asteroid and space station in relative peace.  The unofficial leader of Omega, an Asari, and a Matriarch by now, is still a force to be feared but respected since she keeps things in relative order.  John knew the risks of having the Neutral Zone anywhere near Omega, as did the Council that had upped their numbers from 4 to 17, one for every race save the Vorcha who were still considered the scum of the universe, but again the representives were coming in that way, so there was little choice.  Heading to the bridge per the captain's orders, John saluted.  "Sir, you wanted to see me?"<br/><br/>The captain was male, in his late sixties, and as far as John knew, he had opted to stay old rather than have his genes messed with.  "Yes Zatheral, I want your team together before the new arrivals start to show up.  I don't want to leave anything to chance."<br/><br/>"Yes sir.  Should we expect trouble do you think?  This is the Terminus System, technically if not for the prior approval of the locals, we would have started a war for being out here since this isn't our place."  John replied from behind his helmet, knowing he didn't have to say it but the captain nodded in agreement anyway.<br/><br/>"Like I said, be ready for anything.  If raiders or pirates come out anywhere near the Mass Relay or from FTL in general, I want to be ready to send them the other way.  This is a transport vessel, but she's got teeth and you know the Alliance can put them to use."  That was the truth in a nutshell as John saluted again and went to gather the other Marines, about the same time the captain sent the general alert over the PA system.  If trouble did come, the Dauntless would be ready for it.
