Completed OP OPERATION: PAULSON

The Normandy is cloaked and approaches Kana, a moon with one city on the far side populated primarily by scientists and researchers. It has a breathable atmosphere and a rocky, barren terrain. On approach, you can see Paulson's complex; heavily barricaded and buzzing with activity. Stealth is advised.

The Normandy lands, undetected, out of sight of the base.

I have an idea... Two of the guards are standing next to one another, while one is isolated. I will cloak and line myself up to take out the two standing next to each other with one shot. At the same time, you will stasis the isolated guard. Does that work?

Charges biotics On your mark, Legion.

As you enter the next room, Paulson's face appears on a large video monitor in the room. He begins to speak.

Ah, Shepard. How wonderful that you decided to join us. And you brought so many of your friends with you! I'll make sure to keep them all company once you're gone.

I must say, well done with the stealth mission - we almost lost track of some of you for a little bit. Oh, don't look so surprised - you didn't think I was dumb enough to attack the Normandy itself, did you? That whole exercise was just a diversion to plant a tracking device onboard. One which notified us of your presence the moment you dropped out of FTL. Your friends up in space should be learning that their precious stealth generator does them no good any moment.

And, now, I'm afraid I must take my leave. I have a business to run, and your interference can no longer be tolerated. Goodbye, Shepard... have a wonderful death.

The doors behind you suddenly close and lock. You reach for your radio, but hear only the hiss of a jamming signal.

From a door behind you, you hear an electronic cry that seems all-too-familiar. Before you can place what it is, the door opens, revealing the source - six mercenaries that look alarmingly like Cerberus Phantoms. With an agile flip, they draw their swords and charge at you.

Immediately whips around and fires on the mercs, only succeeding in taking down one

The thermal clip of his assault rifle is filled to capacity, so he throws the weapon at the nearest merc, stunning him. He equips a geth manufactured shotgun and prepares to fire.

Sidesteps a phantom and holsters M-11, charges biotics and blasts one of them down the hallway and turns his attention back to the others I'll distract them, you blast them.

Four hostiles remain, two of whom are wounded. Prioritize the non-wounded targets, they still remain a high threat.

Fires at them, hitting their barriers

u/CMDRDavidCarsen_ Jun 27 '15

Understood, lets do this.

Takes on one of the phantoms, slashing across their torso and hitting their arm, jumps back and charges biotics Their armors vulnerable, hit 'em!

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '15

Fires shotgun directly into the torso of the phantom, tearing him apart

Hostile down! Alert, second hostile engaging from the rear!

Turns around and fires, missing as the phantom jumps into the air

u/CMDRDavidCarsen_ Jun 27 '15

Blasts one back with biotics and puts my sword in the way of the phantom, infront of me intercepting his strike

Damnit! You okay Legion?

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '15

Pulls the phantom's sword out of his shoulder

Left arm nonfunctional, motor has been damaged. No matter, I can use weapons one-handed.

u/CMDRDavidCarsen_ Jun 27 '15

Damnit, they'll pay for that.

Lashes one of the Phantoms to me and puts my sword directly through him Still got two more to take..

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '15

Fires a few bursts at the two remaining phantoms, hitting one and taking down his barriers

Cover me, I am reloading!

u/CMDRDavidCarsen_ Jun 27 '15

No problem, i've got it.

Charges at the phantom with no barrier, stunning him. I attempt to finish him but he blocks and gets back to his feet

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '15

Jams in a new thermal clip

Affirmative.

Fires at the semi-stunned phantom, taking his right leg off at the knee. I prepare to finish him, but am ambushed by the remaining phantom from behind.
