UNAROSHI

"YOU!!!"

That is the last word the Valley-girl sounding voice emits, and there is another large crackling sound, and a slightly smaller THUD than before. Unaroshi snarls, bracing for whatever's coming.

"Whoever's inside here... are you unharmed?" says a very peculiar female voice. Unaroshi stops snarling.

"Huh?" he says, annoyed. "What's going on?"

"I have come to free you from this prison," the voice says. It is low and might have sounded quiet, though the echoing of the place makes it sound very loud. Also, though her voice ISN'T mechanical, she talks in a very robotic manner, which further baffles Unaroshi.

"Stand back, please" advises the woman.

SAKER

Saker follows the wall, but unfortunately finds one corner and, going the other way for a bit, another. She backtracks a bit to make sure she didn't by-pass a door or doorway, but finds nothing, and the walls are all made of the same substance. She returns to the wall where she sensed something, and with some trepidation tries to break through it. There is a sound like a jet-engine suddenly roaring to life, but the wall cracks a bit.

GUNROD

Avarice addresses the dwarf first.

"You are on Planet Ersetu, our chief dwelling."

SHEPARD

Avarice turns from Gunrod to address Shepard.

"And there will be no trouble, so long as you comply with our rules. I do not think you would wish to condemn the Illuxion in your party to a miserable end."

Mira is looking in pretty bad shape now...

"We will heal your friend, but in return we request something of you. It is this: we wish to find one who had escaped us. It is not the other Illuxion," the mechanical behemoth added, before any of them could ask. "But another Arrival, such as yourselves. This being found its way here very recently, and was also uncooperative, but is still in the system somewhere. This being, should it be found, must be returned to us. Alive. Will you comply?"

The T-900 thing says to Mira "The cryonic restoration chamber that we utilize for repairs may not be to your liking, but if you come this way, you will find regeneration through another method."
