Camp Urgnot.

Shepard, Wrex, Gluts, Samara, and Mordin return to camp Urgnot. Wrex went off to set up the trial with Gluts. Along the way Wrex went to deliver a combusting manifold for his engineer. Mordin went back to the Normandy to organize with STG about Mealon. Samara went with him for support. Shepard stayed to find Ben, Jack, and Grunt. He starts look only to find Ben at the local kiosk looking over at some items.

"Ben"

Ben turns around seeing Shepard strained faced appear. "Shepard back from the mission. How it go?"

Shepard Grimaces and strokes his cheek. "It was complicated but nothing that we could handle. Oh, you need to report to Wrex to what I assume is Grunt right into Urgnot."

Ben smirked "Heh. He need to do more than that. Grunt the official second person to kill a Thresher Maw" Shepard chuckles.

"Yeah, Wrex going to love that. Anyway, what you doing here? Where Jack and Grunt?"

"Well to answer your first question. Krogan has some decent armour upgrades like armour plating and such. Though it be a good Idea to harden some places on my armour that weak to close range fighting" Shepard nods. it makes sense medium armour good for support strikes and long ranges attacks not close quarters fighting which Ben good for.

"To answer your second question. Fighting pits and Varren arena. Not in that order" Shepard snorted at that.

"I'm surprised you did not go for Light armour back then on Illum" Shepard said crossing his arms.

Ben nods back "That would make sense considering what I used to wear, but I am also dealing with weapons that can penetrate amour with the right skill set. I am just being extra careful." Shepard nods back.

"Where Morden and samara anyway?" Ben asked.

"Back at the Normandy. For emotional reasons. Anyway, we have a Trial coming up. A Krogan clan leader has been experimenting on live female Krogans, so all the clans are coming together here to see him punished for it" Shepard said that quickly to move the topic away from Mordin.

"Hmm. Yes, that tracks with what I heard here. From what I hear they pissed." Shepard nods agreeing but gets caught off guard by Ben next statement. "Look, you know I understand why you never told me about Mordin being part of the Genophage team, but did you really think I would not notice after the reaction to my Krogan form. Even the fact Salarian councillor reaction about Mordin back on the Citadel was a dead giveaway."

"Shit. Look Tennyson they a reason I never told you" Shepard explained knowing for well how Ben gets about people rights and fairness.

"I am aware of the reason. You were thinking I have a go at him for Creating it and your right I would, but I can also tell he conflicted about it. He not particularly good at controlling his emotions. It quite easy to tell once you learn the Salarian body language. Do not worry I am not going to tell anyone" Ben explained looking back far and beyond.

Shepard breaths easy "Thank you Ben" Ben shrugged back and went to looking for armour upgrades. Shepard help in finding some decent plating that works best on humans. They stop for a moment to hear Shepard name being shouted "Shepard!" They both Turn to see Wrex coming towards them.

"The Trial is getting ready to start and most of the clans have arrived. The ones that Haven't are busy dealing with they own problems" Shepard nods back. Wrex continued "We need you to testify since the pyjack and the Asari went to 'cool' off."

Shepard nods again. "I can do that. Just tell me what to do and I say my peace on the matter."

Wrex smirking "Good and there not much just answer so When I call your name or you need to do is recalled what we did at Weyrloc base" Shepard nods.

Wrex turns to Ben "Heard about the runt Killing a Thresher Maw. Has not been done since my turn on the rite. Next, you are telling he can produce dark matter." Ben snorted. Shepard chuckled.

"I also heard what happened to Uvenk. Good riddance. He bad rubbish. Anyway, after the trial I introduce Grunt into the fold and do not worry Shepard I won't take grunt from you. He needs experience before he can join in active Krogan combat."

Shepard snorted "Yeah because collectors are perfect target practice." Wrex laughed bellowed. Ben just smirked.

Ben was wondering about the Guilty Krogan "What happens to A Krogan if they found guilty of the Crime they committed?"

Wrex stroke his spikey chin "its honesty depends on the Krogan and the crime. Since the Genophage we been few in numbers so Krogan of lower ranked gets left of with a slap. While higher ranking will receive a harsher punishment. The crimes itself depend on what they are and how they affect are culture. It not perfect but we kept are numbers that way. Why do you ask punk?"

Ben was also scratching his cheek. "It just you are putting a Clan leader on trial and well I was just curious about that really."

Wrex nods in understanding "Ah, yes Clan leaders' crimes are a different beast altogether and in all honestly it has not happened since a thousand years ago though the pyjack himself was not a clan leader. His crime fit the bill. Luckily, he was not punished heavily for it. Right, it looking like guld will be strip of his Krogan title and Banished from Tuchanka." Ben raised an eyebrow.

"I am wondering, what would you do if Guld would become scared to death? Not literally obviously but enough for him to become catatonic" Wrex stared at Ben deeply.

"We would laugh at his miserly and find that it is a suitable punishment for what he did to the females." Wrex stops for a minute "You got a way to do that?"

Ben nods "Yep. He called Toepick."

Wrex was smiling "Heh, Heh, Heh."

Ben Shuddered "Do all Krogan laugh like that, I thought it was just Grunt" Wrex never stop smiling. (Shout out- Want to give a shout to Anon-reader667 on Wattpad for the idea of Toepick)

Clan Urgnot Varren pits

Everyone gathered around the pits. Ben, Shepard, and grunt are next to Wrex when he starts the trial. Jack went back to the Normandy after finding out, that all social gatherings aka fight club was stop because of the Trial. Guld tied up in the middle of the pit being looked down upon by his peers.

"Gather Round fellow Krogan. For Today we have Weyrloc Guld charge with Harming towards the females leaving them dead." The Krogans around growled. The other clan leaders were boiling in rage after hearing that news and started staring down at Guld like he is a pyjack. Wrex smirked at the reaction.

"We have two witnesses. One being a human called Commander John Shepard. A friend of clan Urgnot" The Krogans started to growl but was instantly halted by Wrex. Shepard moan at Wrex use of his first name "ENOUGH! This human is one that I Travelled with to defeat Saren so pay some fucking respect you Pyjacks."

One Krogan to offence to that "How would we know he is telling the truth. Brother"

Shepard and Ben raised an eyebrow at that. Grunt was staring menacingly at the offended Krogan. "Shut the fuck up Wreav. Your lack of Brain make the Salarians idea of a Genophage agreeable, if I still have to tolerate your presence any longer than I have to." Other Krogan nodded in agreement reluctantly.

"The second witness is from Clan Baltech. They leader Baltech Gluts. Who joined my hunt and had evidence to back up the Disgrace Guld." The Krogan nods in acknowledgement of the Clan leader. Both Gluts and Shepard came forward to give they statements of the event.

A few minutes later after statements.

To say the Krogans were pissed is a momentum understatement. Loud noise of growls and arguing. Some Krogan wish for Guld death. others Banishment. The one asari who married a Krogan on Illum. well Wrex now likes her because she insulted Wreav after he tried to Insult her first and failed. Wrex then told his Fellow Krogan that he picked a good one and told him to "Keep her well." This all happened because the Asari herself was more disgusted by what Guld admitted throughout the statements. Which was Guld attacking Asari colonies with the Bloodpack.

"We heard statement, answers and now we need punishment. The shapeshifter has offered one such solution. A form that will Scare the Living Day lights of Guld that he cannot function anymore. He be less than Krogan he be in a catatonic state" A lot of Krogan mumble towards each other. The clan leaders are liking the idea. Wrex looks around "any objections?"

The asari raises her hand "Not an objection but an idea. You want to humiliate him, right?" Wrex nods not knowing where this is going. "Well, if he be in a catatonic state you need to look after him" The Krogans growled at that.

Wreav shouts at her "We will do no such thing. Bitch"

The asari nods "Of course but the Asari can look after him. In prison. Which I sure The Krogan can find that Very humiliation."

Wrex blinks Then laughs "Hahahahahah. It be further humiliation if he ends up in Asari Jail. Oh, Wreav you better be careful she more Krogan than you at the moment" Everyone chuckled at that.

"So, we are in agreement. He will be punished by are shapeshifter Ally. Then he be escorted by my friend Shepard to the asari Prison" Everyone nods. Wrex then looks at Ben. Ben nods back and heads to the pits but as he walks. Wrex still talks.

"As of today. Weyrloc clan is no more, and any members can join from said clan can join any other clan they so wished. Guld you are here punished by the hands of Krogan for torture of the Females and use of the Blood pack. You are a Betrayer. You are No longer Krogan."

Guld Growls and was trying to speak by was overshadow by a bright green light.

"Toepick" Toepick said in a sleepy dreamy voice. The Krogan were horrified by the look of Toepick and his cage head. Which is saying something because they rarely get horrified.

Guld chuckles "what this creature going to do scar…." As he said the Toepick leaned in closer to Guld. Open the cage doors. Guld Scream can be heard across the Galaxy.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. NO PLEASE MAKE IT STOP, PLEASSSSE MAKE It STOP." Everyone blanch. Guld is now pitch white. Like his armour white, his skin. It was horrifying to hear and see. Even Wrex was horrified at what he is looking at and hearing. he later composed himself but can tell the Over Krogan want to fight that creature. Wrex not stupid. The shapeshifter can best them in single combat. If the Shaymin assessment are corrected.

Wrex looks at Shepard "Right, we have an escort of the prisoner to your shuttle Shepard." Two guardsmen do so and takes a now white Guld to Shepard shuttle.

Wrex coughs getting everyone attention "My last news is simple. We welcome Urgnot Grunt. we welcome you to clan Urgnot. Nice job Killing a Thresher maw has not been done since my turn in the rite" He smirk at that last comment as it gives Wrex more political power within the Krogan ranks. Grunt smirk back.

Toepick then change back to Ben and walks back to Shepard. Wrex nods at Shepard. Shepard nods back He turns to Ben and Grunt. "Come on, the rest of the meeting is stuff we not allowed to be involved in. Krogan Culture and such" Both nod back and head to the shuttle.

As they were walking the three heard Wrex shout "Urgnot Ereba, wins and yes Wreav Since she married a Urgnot and more Krogan than you, she is There fourth a Urgnot. Expect it. All though the female Krogan shaman going to have to give her the rite to make it official."

They get in the shuttle and head back to the Normandy.

A few minutes later in the Normandy SR2 Meeting room.

Shepard after coming back from Tuchanka went to the meeting room for a call to the Asari councillor. It had been 5 minutes when he started the call. He been tapping his foot waiting.

A few minutes later The Asari councillor appeared in holographic form.

"AH Shepard, sorry for the delay in answering your call. I just came from a meeting with a couple of Matriarchs. So how may I help you and considering your using the spectre line I assume it important."

Shepard nods "Yes councillor, Tevos. I heard from the grape vine that your colonies have been Attack?"

Tavos narrows her eyes at Shepard "Yes though we kept it concealed even to outside spectres. So, I curious how you find out."

"Well as luck would have it. I caught one of the culprits."

Tavos eyes widen. She look to see if Shepard is lying. "You have. You must bring them to Thessia immediately." Shepard nods and call out to Joker over the coms. "Joker set a course for Thessia."

"Aye, aye"

Tavos nods in thanks. "Now let's get the Debrief over with so I can set up a coordinated transfer of prisoner" Shepard nods and goes into detail about the events that transpired.

A few minutes after Shepard telling Tavos about the day's events. She blanches "Dear god. The were experimenting on live Female Krogan, that, that…are the Krogan really that Desperate?" Shepard nods and further explains.

"Well considering what Wrex told me. Some were considering letting him continue the experiment. I think that should give you some idea of how bad it is."

Tavos grimaces but nods "it does. If I have the power, I will help them but sadly the power of choice when it comes to the Genophage comes down to the Salarians. I hope you understand."

Shepard smiles nodding "I do. Which is why I have not told you the full story because I know you obligated to tell the Salarian councillor not by choice. So, I told what happened there and not why. Though Valern knows why we there."

Tavos smiles at Shepard "Thank you. That does make it easier on me. Now Since This Toepick. One of Ben Transformations scared this Guld in a catatonic we need medical on site. I assume your fine we have a team meeting at your ships Airlock. I know you have a mission to get with."

Shepard nods agreeing. "Yes, that fine. I have Samara help to make it easier on your end. Since I am still temporarily working with Cerberus."

"That does help. Thank you. That puts my Asari at ease. Now that I know it the Blood pack we must keep an eye out for them. I thank you commander you put ease to a lot of Asari today. The Goddess watch over you."

"Yours as well councillor" Tavos nods and smiles The lines cut. Shepard called out to joker "How long to Thessia Joker?"

"ETA Ten minutes"

"Thanks"

"No problems commander."
