Salissa's transit from the barracks to the former Police Station was most calm. No evil doers or anyone needing help on the way. It all was a simple walk from one place to another, calm, quiet if you don't count the background noises caused by people working or passing vehicles and the slightly destroyed scenery. Much restoration was done and even more was in need of completing. The soldier wasn't the least bit hopeful it would be done anytime soon. Earth would carry the scars of this... cosmic tragic comedy for probably decades, depending on the possibility of people learning from what happened or them continuing the senseless bickering like those Terra Firma idiots were preaching.

 A voice had pulled her from her mental pondering. It took her a moment to realize it was Skarr, the krogan who had kind of rushed to her aid back underground without her actually asking for it. She was still  glad for it though, she wasn't stupid. She was already at the location it seemed. How fast the time flew when one was busy thinking...

 “Thank you, Skarr.” She replied with a sigh, stopping in motion and looking at the skies.” This all could have been avoided, you know. All they needed to do is get the local alliance squads to clear the cerberus base instead of going for the 'infiltration'. “ She said through her teeth and took a breath, calming herself down. She had bad history with covert ops going south when a nice direct approach would have been a lot better...

 “You did great too actually. I'm pretty sure not many Krogans can match the performance you showed today.” Salissa added with a smile and respectful nod.” Thank you for the help down there. I got caught a little unprepared, shields drained too fast, but not surprise now that I think about it... back in the war I used to carry additional powercells for longer duration and strength.” 

 “Tell me, in two words how would you describe the reaper war?” She suddenly asked with completely serious voice.
