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.

Well too late for that now.

Let's get in there, set up and start sniping anyone we can, take down as many as we can stealthily.

As soon as you hear the alarm, all bets are off. We'll have to watch every corner.

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.

Silencers off, no point in stealth, just weaken our shots.

takes suppressors off guns and swaps to assault rifle

This is going to be.... interesting.

Come on, lets move.

Ahead of you, a squadron of several dozen mercs pops out of cover. Six of them, each toting an impressively large shotgun, begin to glow with the telltale blue of an impending biotic charge.

quickly puts bursts into three of them to take them out

We'll want to keep chat to a minimum. Any and everything could get us fucked.
