Elizabeth had never planned on leaving the other soldiers to die, that was not how she acted or in her way of doing things. She did however want to look around before blindly leaping in and liked her squad to follow her orders. She pushed these thoughts to the back of her mind as she refocused on the mission at hand, the other thought in her head could be saved for the debriefing. As they approached the dig site she turned to Wolff, who was asking questions about the importance of the mission and why there seemed to be so much fighting over it. "That is a question better saved for a time when we can't get shot at anytime by a force trying to take that very beacon it seems. The only answer I can give right now is that I think you will find your answer in the most obvious place. If it is not so important why are the Geth, which haven't been seen in a long time here, why do they seem to want the beacon?" she asked slowing down as they approached the site.  "Soldier watch the area and tell me if there are anymore Geth approaching" she said to Wolff. Elizabeth then looked over the two soldiers and walked up to the one in pink "I am Commander Shepard, soldier what's your name and can you tell me if the beacon is still here?" she asked.<br/><br/>"Gunnery Chief Ashley Williams, and yes ma'am the beacon is near here only a short walk up, you can see the edge of it from here. The team was preparing it for when you got here, good thing to or the Geth would have gotten their hands on it sooner" Ashley said. "Are there more reinforcements aside from you that were dropped out of that Alliance ship" she asked hopeful "cause as you can see we need all the help we can get. Everyone from my unit was killed I was lucky enough to join up with another soldier from a different squad, Anastasia, is her name."<br/><br/>"No, we only our mission was to pick up the beacon we were not planning on the Geth being here. But we are here now and will do our best to help you out when we can, for now we need to get up there and make sure the beacon is secure. I am truly sorry for your lose and we will make sure the Geth pay for it, but right now I need your help Ashley" she said stepping a closer to her.<br/><br/>"Yes ma'am" Ashley answered "I will contact Anastasia and tell her were to meet us, she was going up to meet with a Quarian." Elizabeth nodded "understood, when your done meet me and Wolff by the edge of the path" she said going back over to Wolff. Ashley nodded and moved over to go tell Anastasia what she had just been told by Commander Shepard.<br/><br/>"Wolff le-" she started as a message from Joker came through on the comm. "Thanks Joker, we have the beacon in sight and are heading towards it now. We can deal with the heavy power output after we got off the planet with the beacon and we aren't being shot at. Have you heard any news from Nihlus, I haven't seen or heard from him since the drop" she said back to Joker. "No ma'am no word from him yet" was Jokers only reply. "Alright Joker, keep me posted if anything new comes up" she said turning back to Wolff. "We are moving towards the beacon, Ashley and the other soldiers are going to meet us there" she said as she started to move towards the path leaving towards the beacon.<br/><br/>Half way up the path she noticed something laying on the ground, checking the corners she moved closer to the body. When she was close enough her eyes widened slightly as she saw it was Nihlus, he had been shot twice in the back of the head and was dead. "Joker" she said quickly talking into the comm link "Nihlus is dead, we just found him on the path way to the beacon"<br/><br/><br/>((Okay sorry for the long post, but I had a lot to deal with.))
