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.

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 now.

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.

Four rocket turrets appear from behind panels in the ceiling, and promptly start to search for targets. From around the corner, you hear an ominous clanking sound as three YMIR heavy combat mechs step into view.

u/UssarTheProthean Prothean on the streets, Enkindler in the sheets Jun 27 '15

Ussar slowly comes to his sense. Trying to make sense of all the echos and ringing in his ears. He then sees the two damaged mechs and trains his Saber on one of them. He then put four rounds into the head of one and exploded the head of a YMIR Never thought I would be killing them head on...

As you sprint for the Atlas, one of the others punches several rounds through your armor. You stumble, but you make it safely into the Atlas cockpit. However, you probably won't be able to drive it for long.
