Summary

Deception

Gren was given an OSD from Kanaya when he went to go get a drink, and it contained a recording from Aylena saying that she needed a team to come get here. The problem was, she asked him to be discreet about it, which meant he lied to Redrock Agency when contracting them to come with him. He hired Redrock on the false pretense that they were going after smugglers that worked with slavers and raiders.

The Bryant

The trip to the mission site was a tense one. Aylena had given Gren quite shaky intel to go on that would put him on the spot multiple times as they reached the planet. Ehanis and Nathan were fresh recruits that haven't proved themselves yet, so Vasquez and Mendez were rightly skeptical about their capabilities in the field.

The first complication was when the Nos Astra tower did not recognize them and redirected them to the town of Dalliren far north on the planet. And when they got there, they had no exact LZ, and the next step was to hope that Aylena contacts Gren with enough information. They eventually agreed to leave the Bryant and try to reach Aylena on the ground.

Rescue

The LZ was hot. Aylena's communications with them, while they were about to leave The Bryant, had a lot of background noise making that clear. She tried to give them coordinates, but it would take many attempts for her weak signal to carry the data through without corruption, and the Redrock shuttle quickly diverted course to move to their location.

A sweep of the area showed no enemies on the exterior of the L-shaped building, but they got some signals from inside the garage by the northeastern corner of the building. Gren was first out of the shuttle once they were close enough to the ground for him to drop, followed by Vasquez, Mendez, and Ehanis once they were at safe non-krogan deployment altitude.

They did not plan to breach through the garage door, choosing instead to go through the front door into the lobby. However, Nathan then reported that the garage door was opening, leaving them no choice but to go through there. They split the team, with Gren, Ehanis, and Mendez going in through the lobby while Vasquez and Nathan pushed into the garage.

The building had four hostiles: a turian in the lobby, a salarian in the hallway leading off of it, and a human and asari in the garage. Vasquez's suppressive fire kept the latter two mostly in cover. The turian in the lobby was quickly taken out by Gren, but the salarian proved to be more of a nuisance as he threw a grenade towards the group in the lobby. Gren tanked the hit and was a distance away, Ehanis was injured trying to get into an adjacent room while Mendez pushed towards the salarian.

After knocking out the salarian, Gren went further into the building; while Vasquez succeeded in getting the hostiles in the garage to surrender. Then he ran into an asari in different armor who aimed her rifle at him, which he knocked out of her hands with biotics. Aylena then stepped in front of her to tell him to stand down. He called Vasquez over, and she gave a brief explanation of the situation.

The asari in the garage took the chance offered by Vasquez walking away to knock Mendez over and run for the exit. She succeeded, but the combined attacks from Nathan, Vasquez, and Mendez cut her escape short. The Redrock team did not confirm her status before leaving, however. There were threats of reinforcements, so Redrock's team, Aylena, and her two mercenaries made a swift exit.

Ehanis' injuries needed immediate medical attention, so she was dropped off at the hospital. The surgery was paid for immediately by a Matriarch Vynira, but Vasquez ordered extra security for her stay that was not covered by the matriarch. In the meantime, Aylena parted ways and paid her pair of mercenaries. As Ehanis was secured, the Redrock team made their way back to The Bryant.

Questioning

Aylena did not hire Redrock directly on this job, but she felt she owed Vasquez an explanation regardless. The people that attacked them answered Farik Oritern and his company who decided to attack them after Aylena did not agree to use their security services. She also explained that she acted as if they could monitor her communications, necessitating the level of secrecy involved in this operation. She also mentioned an elaborate communication system she used to get the message to the Miner's Respite.

She paid Redrock 110,000, and Gren 35,000, once they were back in comm buoy range. When they reached Freedom Falls, the team parted ways with Aylena going to the Respite, the Redrock employees going to HQ to unload their gear, and Gren trudging home on his own.
