The Normandy just finished its jump using the Mass Relay, putting it in the same system as Eden Prime. The Normandy was on its first real flight where it was going to be testing out the new drive it had, which was to help it hide its emissions and make it almost invisible. Though it seemed odd to some on board to be doing the test near Eden Prime if this was suppose to just be a test flight. The fact that there was a full crew, instead of the standard skeleton crew, and that there was a Turian Agent, specter none the less, lead to people wondering what was going on. There was just so much that seemed to be off about this mission, but it didn't seem like it was bad just something was off. The crew on the way there had been talking a lightly about this issue, but only to themselves not to Elizabeth or to Captain Anderson, who was also on board. Joker announced over the ships system that they had arrived at in the system and that they would be reaching their destination soon.<br/><br/>Elizabeth had been sitting on her bed thinking things over when she heard the announcement. Her thoughts were still wondering about just what was going on as she moved to sit up in her bed. She was currently dressed in her standard issue jump uniform, as she typically was when she was on a ship or not on a mission. She sat there on the bed for a few minutes stretching and getting ready for what was to come. Eventually she made her way out off of the bed and towards the mess hall, to grab something to eat before the mission was to start. She grabbed one of the plates, that had a set of rations on it and sat down and took a few bites out of it another announcement came from Joker. "Commander Shepard, Captain Anderson asks you to report to the briefing room" was all he said. Elizabeth let out an almost inaudible sigh as she quickly stood up and made her way up the stairs to the comm/briefing room, where Anderson and The Turain were waiting for her.<br/><br/>"Evening Captain Anderson and Nihlus Kryik" she said saluting Capt. Anderson and giving a nod salute to Nihlus.<br/><br/>"At ease commander, as I you most likely guessed this mission is more than just a standard testing flight of the Normandy. The real mission is to covertly pick up a Prothean Beacon, that was discovered on Eden Prime by our scientists and that we are bringing back to the citadel. There is also a second nature to this mission and that is you, commander Shepard. You have been chosen to be evaluated to see if you have what it takes to be spectre, the first human spectre and that is why Nihlus is here, he will be evaluating your performance on this mission" Captain Anderson said once Commander Shepard had saluted.<br/><br/>"That's right Commander Shepard I am here to test your abilities and see if you have what it takes to be spectre" Nihlus said chiming in.<br/><br/>Elizabeth was a bit taken a back at first, though quickly recovered her composure and looked between them. "Sounds like there is a lot more riding on this mission, now. I will do this mission to the best of my ability" she said.<br/><br/>"Good, now-" Captain Anderson began when Joker interrupted him. "Sorry to interrupt you Captain, but we have a message from the surface, patching it through now."<br/><br/>On the screen a distress call played asking for any near by alliance or allied fleets to come and Eden Prime as it was under attack. It appeared to be the Geth leading the assault and a strange ship that appeared to be in the atmosphere. The three of them looked at each other as a new urgency came to the mission. "Shepard prepare your squad we will be dropping you off as soon as you can. Your mission is to get to secure the beacon first, and save anyone you can second. We don't know what it has on it and we can't let them get to it first" Captain Anderson said.<br/><br/>Elizabeth saluted the two and quickly moved out of the comm room and headed towards the bridge. "Joker tell my squad to assemble in the hanger, we will be briefed on our mission there" she said before making her way back to her room to put on her armor. Once her armor was on she got her weapons and began to make her way down to the hanger and  where she hoped her squad had arrived by the time she got there.
