For my plans with the Commonwealth, I plan on doing the Minutemen ending where the Sole Survivor kills off the Institute and Brotherhood of Steel. Preston Garvey and Sole Survivor hate each other. And the Sole Survivor is still around.

Interested. Could I have dibs on the Commonwealth?
Thus, I vote for the east worst coast.

When the whole team was on board the shuttle, Jorge made his way to the cockpit. From his omni-tool, he pulled up coordinates towards a parking area near the villa. It was the closest that the shuttle could've land without drawing unwanted attention. So, that meant they were forced to walk to their objective. Jorge sent the directions over to the driver screen via his omni-tool and glanced at Key. "Follow the coordinates and get us there quickly."
Even after reading her file, Jorge was still surprised to see Keesin'Godda rather open with her thoughts and feelings. And with the incident at the apartment lobby earlier, he didn't exactly know if it was going to jeopardize the entire operation. But, regardless of her psyche, she was too valuable (as an infiltrator and quarian) to pass up for someone else. Perhaps all she needed was a reminder of the consequences to straighten up.
Then, while Jorge made his way to the last empty seat inside, Lantea T'keli asked a question regarding the mission. "So, how are we going in? Loud and fast? And what sort of resistance do we expect?"
If it wasn't for her time as a prominent mercenary, Lantea's file would've been turned down instantly. Jorge thought that having an asari that was still going to their maiden stage would've endangered the operation. However, her talents and mercenary background ultimately got her a spot in Kingslayer. Jorge only hoped that he wasn't going to regret it later on. Then, he pulled out a hologram projection of the villa from his omni-tool to answer the question. "Actually, we are doing the opposite because of Daezike's servants. Not to mention she acquired prototype security mechs from Saren on her birthday. Sadly, I haven't been able to find anything on them. So, we need to be careful around them."
"Well, it is the Presidium. I'd be surprised if we ran into an army of mechs, and home security systems should be a cinch to get past," Lorena Negasi mused, "but we should expect her to have some kind of panic button on standby - if she hasn't already started mashing one. Any idiot who feels C-Sec bearing down on them can wipe files from off-site, right? Do we have a backup plan for retrieving anything if that happens?"
Unlike the other squadmates, Jorge had somewhat of an issue with Lorena due to stealing from the Alliance while in service. It was only fortunate that her "services" were required to deal with batarian financiers after the Blitz. Her time as a Corsair was something unavoidable to him, along with her talents in engineering. Still, it was good knowing that Jorge wasn't planning on making friends during the operation.
"That's why we need to be quiet; otherwise, we would be in a tough spot. Still, if things went south, we have no other choice than ransack her office and devices for anything about Saren." Jorge closed up the projection and felt the shuttle taking off. "We will be meeting with an insider that has been assisting the operation. Hopefully, she'll provide us with something useful."

Eventually, the shuttle made its way to the parking lot and found an open spot to land. Jorge was the first one to stand up for his seat as the doors opened. He got out and looked around for Salany, but she wasn't anywhere to be seen. Then, however, she was seen running towards him with something in her hand. Jorge made his way to her with a look of concern. "Is anything alright?"
"Yeah, for the most part. I have the code to the entrance." Salany took a moment to breathe after running from the villa. "Also, I decided to risk my ass to give you this."
Jorge examined the device and then looked back at the asari. "What is it?"
Salany shrugged. "I didn't have enough time to examine it, but it was stored in the security room. So that means it had to be important."
"Security room? Wait, Daezike has guards in the villa?!"
"Not right now; otherwise, I won't have been able to enter the room. They go wherever she goes." Salany answered while hailing a taxi on her omni-tool. "And if that's all, I will be taking my leave. I expect the credits soon."
"You'll get them and a little extra for the device. Good luck, Salany." Jorge nodded and then made his way back to the shuttle with the device. While he also had no idea what it was, it seemed helpful enough for Daezike to keep around. Regardless, the mission was his priority.
"Follow me." Jorge ordered his team and began walking towards the villa. It wasn't a long distance from the parking lot, but still quite a walk while wearing armor. Soon enough, the team made it to the gate entrance of the villa. Jorge approached the key box and entered the code. Fortunately, it was accepted without issue and the gate began opening. And while it was opening, Jorge turned to his team and told them.
"We need to find a way to get to Daezike's office without drawing attention. Any suggestions or questions?"
"Yeah, for the most part. I have the code to the entrance." Salany took a moment to breathe after running from the villa. "Also, I decided to risk my ass to give you this."

We did it.
I want to express a sincere thank you to everyone who added their voice to the proposition that lead to this amendment. A lot of eloquent and thoughtful motherfuckers really came out of the woodwork and helped refine/expand the scope of what needed to be done. Good-good stuff.
Hopefully the next step, holding one another accountable, will reinforce the groundwork accomplished this month.
GGs.
I wonder how long until someone cries about it.

By the time the shuttle arrived at Livilla Towers, Jorge had received a notice that several individuals had entered the apartment. However, he knew that his squadmates managed to find the safehouse without much trouble. Well, that was until the lobby attendant was getting his attention while talking to someone else on the phone. The attendant clearly wasn't in the mood to pretend that his day was cheerful. And based on the fact that he was called over, Jorge knew that someone from the team was responsible for the mood change.
"Sir, I'm afraid that someone unauthorized is in your apartment." the attendant explained. "In fact, there were a few rather suspicious individuals, including a rather rude quarian. Should I contract C-Sec?"
"Did all of them had the proper keycards?" Jorge asked with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"Well, yes. But you can never know-" Before the attendant was able to finish, Jorge received an alert from his omni-tool and saw it was a message from Salany D'ami. He knew that something was wrong and required his immediate attention, but the attendant still seemed to be cautious of the guest. So, Jorge responded in the only way he knew how: directly.
"Look, I don't have time to deal with you. I paid for the keycards and have the right to issue them to my guest. So, leave them alone, or you'll be hearing for your boss." Jorge headed for the elevator and watched the attendant looking away in shame before the doors closed. And now alone, he got on his omni-tool and pulled up the message from Salany. It was only a single sentence that made Jorge concerned about the entire mission: "Bluejay left for an emergency meeting with the client."
When the elevator stopped, Jorge ran out of it before the doors were done opening and headed straight for the apartment. He entered and saw the crew gathering around in the main room, which was helpful. Next, Jorge briefly went to his room to pick up his armor and equipment for the mission. Then, he went over to the control panel by the door and messed around with it until the window blinds began closing independently. Lastly, he walked over to the cabinet in front of the sofa while a massive television rose from it.
And while everything was going on, Jorge finally introduced himself to the team. "Jorge Henriques. The superior from this squad and the operation its self. And right now, I need everyone to get ready for the first mission. I will explain later."
Jorge began putting on his armor when he turned on the television, and an image of an older female salarian appeared on the screen. "Zakarth Daezike. Her family runs a pretty successful accounting firm carting to both asari and salarian companies within Citadel space. Normally, they don't offer bookkeeping to their loyal customers. But it's hard to deny services to a Spectre—especially if it's Saren Arterius. So to provide the best, Zakarth was appointed to be his accountant and bookkeeper."
Another image appeared on the screen, and it was security footage of Zakarth and Saren chatting at a fancy restaurant. "And for thirteen years, Zakarth worked hard to maintain the Spectre's deals and records within the Citadel. It was going smoothly until her boss was declared a criminal and his status revoked. And when her family's company terminated their partnership, Zakarth quit in response and chose to standby Saren without any doubt. She used her connections within both C-Sec and the Council to obtain crucial knowledge regarding the Saren case."
The following image showed one of Zakarth's contracts being questioned by a C-Sec officer. "Fortunately, C-Sec caught some of them in the act. But they managed to feed her bits of classified information. It wasn't until a few days that we learned of Zakarth's involvement. Kingslayer was authorized to apprehend the accountant at her house in the Presidium. But four minutes ago, Zakarth left from an emergency meeting with her client. I don't know what it means other than something bad happened."
And the final image revealed the layout of Zakarth's home, a standard luxury villa with a large office overlooking one of the artificial lakes in the Presidium. "That's why we are in a hurry. We need to gather as much data in that office as possible before something happens to them. And then, we can focus on getting Zakarth later."
Jorge was making sure that his armor was properly fitted when he finished the briefing. He also made sure that his weapons were holstered. Then, he looked at his team and began heading out to their ride. "If you have questions, ask them on the shuttle ride. Once you're ready, meet me on the roof. That's where our ride is waiting though we will need a driver."
"Sir, I'm afraid that someone unauthorized is in your apartment." the attendant explained. "In fact, there were a few rather suspicious individuals, including a rather rude quarian. Should I contract C-Sec?"

PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
Spring 1991
GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY
Great Hall of the People, Beijing
Chairman Xue Xuefeng spent the last half hour being debrief on the chaotic situation in Canada. Their cities were on fire over the death of their prime minister. But, in all honestly, Xue didn't have a strong opinion of the Canadian government. So, a simple statement calling for peace and order throughout the lands was written up. And that was that. Or so the State Council believed.
A well-dressed soldier approached Xue and whispered something that caught him off-guard. "Hawthorne Army Depot has been destroyed by a revolutionary terror group based in the Americas. Their demands have been published shortly after the attack."
Chairman Xue examined the piece of paper handed to him as the State Councilors stared in silence. And then, he turned to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and ordered him. "Xieren, get in contact with Premier Kosygin and request a personal meeting on my behalf. But before that, issue a statement condemning the attack and terror group. We need to be ready for the likelihood of being accused."
Tao Xieren nodded and left the room to get started. Then, the Chairman turned to the Minister of National Defense. "Have the military be on high alert and begin conducting emergency-response drills. Ensure that we are in consent communication with our allies and offer supplies and reinforcements. And ensure that the East Sea Fleet is prepared for conflict."
"What about Taiwan? Should we increase the pressure against the resistance movement on the region?" Cai Hu asked.
"Not until they give us a reason." Chairman Xue responded and then stood up. "And if that is all, I have to leave early to get ready for our guest of honor. May there be prosperity at the end of these dark days."

Foreign Ministry Tao Xieren's Remarks on Recent Events in North America
"China clearly condemns both the bombing of Hawthorne Army Depot and the murder of Canadian Prime Minister Pelletier. We hope that those responsible are bought to justice for their crimes through the legal system. Chairman Xue expresses sympathy to the victims and plans on calling the American President within the week. While we've criticized the American takeover of Canada in the past, China had hoped that independence would've been secured through peace and non-violence.
And while we hope that peace returns with assistance from OTAN forces, China is worried that the countries in the alliance, specifically France, will use the opportunity to showcase their military might. Chairman Xue is hopeful that OTAN forces will leave Canadian soil once peace has returned. But, he is rightfully concerned that Canada will be forced to be a pawn for an eroding military alliance."

The Rabbit God. Largely forgotten by the Taoist community, including the temple keepers, Tu'er Shen was once a man named Hu Tianbao who fell in love with an imperial inspector. And when he was sentenced to death after confessing his love towards the inspector, the judges of Diyu appointed him as god and guardian of homosexual affections.

"We've successfully taken the security room and have eyes all over the villa. Shutting down the security mechs now, will keep you updated if I see any servants heading your way."
"Understood, Key." Jorge signed to his team to move forth carefully towards the servant building. "We're making our way towards the office. See if you can help us out with the ladder access."
But before the second team was able to assemble near the building, a shuttle flew above them and started making its way towards the landing pad. Jorge didn't genuinely expect Daezike to return so quickly and immediately headed towards the gate. He pulled out his knife and used it to yank the code panel out of place. And while he started messing around with the wires, Jorge warned the other team. "Daezike has returned. I repeat, Daezike has returned. Download whatever's valuable and get to the shuttle. Then, when I give you a signal, come and get us fast. I have a crazy idea."
"I hope you've done a snatch and grab before." Jorge mumbled towards Sivus as the gate opened and turned to everyone else. "Alright, let's get up to the roof, and we will explain."

There wasn't much to say inside the shuttle. Daezike was still genuinely loyal to her boss even as his mental state vanished since the Council dismantled everything he had ever made. Fortunately, he still had power and influence. And it was up to her to ensure that Saren still had eyes in the Citadel and the pathetic Council. As soon as the shuttle landed, the security team exited out to ensure that the area was secured. Daezike rolled her eyes and quickly departed before the shuttle took off towards the garage below.
"Septidia, you and the guards are done for the day. Please leave me be and head back to the security room." Daezike ordered the head security without looking at her.
"But ma'am, we're required to-"
"I don't care. Do what I say, or you'll be back to sniffing red sand with the other low lives I've fired." Daezike didn't need to stare at her to get the message through. Picking up a datapad on the table beside the backdoor, the salarian resumed working as she made her way towards the office. Septidia and the other guards made their way towards the room without saying a word about what the boss brought up. And as for Daezike, she was too busy staring at the datapad to notice anything unusual.
There was so much that she missed due to the meeting, and it bothered Daezike intensely.
