It was odd, being called on such a special mission. A request that would lead to someone's proclaimed death, yet would fight against a strong unknown force with other races. Now, Phalanx didn't exactly have anyone who would worry about its proclaimed death, but it was still a unusual circumstance. After all, the synthetic platform had only been assigned solo missions and this would be a first actually working on a team with different species. The Geth unit did not mind at all, in fact it gave it a chance to study organic life forms more thoroughly when it had time. Phalanx was a logical choice to be part of this interspecies mission, since it was quite calm and showed unusual kindness to others. Able to handle interactions a bit more efficiently compared to the rest of the synthetic race. Plus being a master with infiltration, hacking, and sniping. In a slow stride through the crowded halls of the Cathedral, once revered to as the Citadel so long ago, Phalanx carried its guns on its back while only holding a simple wooden box. The box was shaped into a small chest, a golden ribbon bow shaped wind up key resting on the front just below the opening while a simple gold design on top of the box. It made a spiral design on both the left side and right side while they connected in the middle to disappear in a large silver flower known as a rose in the human culture. It was in quite a surprisingly well kept condition, despite how old it probably was, but Phalanx had made sure to take extreme care. Today was the day Phalanx had to report to the ship. The Geth didn't really have much personal belongings to bring on a trip other than weapons. Yet Phalanx was one of those few who actually did carry a few personal items. It surprised many who noticed it, mostly its own kind questioned how illogical it was to bring items in a military scenario. Phalanx ignored them however, and continued to do what it did. Finally making its way to the ship, the synthetic platform paused as a holographic blue orb appeared at the door that led into the ship assigned to Echelon. [b]"Greetings Geth unit, I am Sira. As per instructed by the commanding officer, please verify your identification. I word of caution. Forgers will be quickly disposed of."[/b] It greeted in its feminine slightly mechanic tone. This must be the ships AI. It was now more common to have AI's on board, do to their effectiveness in assisting the pilot. Of course, they were mostly only for the advanced military ships. Not giving much room for hesitation, Phalanx clearly and smoothly responded in its own synthetic slightly feminine sounding voice. [b]"Greetings Ship Unit, I am System 42009874563001, Call Sign Phalanx. Homeworld resides in Rannoch and I am Echelon unit G101. Requesting entry."[/b] It said, giving the identification needed for entry in a fluid manner. [b]"Identification verified. Standby. Echelon operative verified. Please proceed to the meeting quarters immediately. The Commanding Officer on deck wishes for all operatives to attend a mission briefing."[/b] Sira said before disappearing and allowing the ships door to open. Phalanx paused for a moment before giving a slight bow. [b]"Affirmative. The orders are acknowledged and gratitude is in order."[/b] It said calmly before entering the vessel. Making its way through the quarters of the ships halls and passed the ships crew made up of several different species. Soon enough, Phalanx entered the meeting room and saw it was the first to arrive. Despite this however, and the fact the action was not necessary for a synthetic, the Geth unit took a seat, setting the box on its lap as it patiently awaited the arrival of its fellow operatives and the Commander As it waited, the synthetic lifeform ran a internal look through of all the squadmates files. It seemed most were human, not that the Geth unit minded but it had hoped for a Krogan and a Creator, both holding strong skills in what they do. Still, Phalanx wouldn't judge the decision of the Directors. There were some of the said races minding the ship and that made it more reassuring. In ways, Phalanx couldn't help but wonder if the races were trying to obtain another Shepard from the human race. Though their logic was quite flawed since Shepard-Commander was a very unique individual, including among the humans. Such aa person was but dream to find a clone. Another Geth unit was also placed on the squad, a Prime in fact. Most likely to make up the lack of firepower from a Krogan. Silently, it continued to analyze the crew's files, making sure to study every bit of information its hard drive could contain.
