Umbrus Nocturni Snippet

Over time on Omega, Archangel had accumulated plenty of pieces of valuable information, known supporters, and resources, much of which Garrus had left mostly untouched for fear of possible betrayal. Involving too many people – too many unknowns – only opens himself to the whims of whoever may deem themselves and their own matters more important than keeping the anonymity of the only one trying to make Omega safe for those very people. His men had no qualms about putting that trust in the unknown, in faith, but he finds himself now in need of these connections, of the favors to Archangel to pay out.

It’s not like his new body lends to convenience in getting new clothes and armor. No turian can be born with the monstrous body he has, but there has to be someone – if not many – that are supplying Cydian and the other Nocturni with these essential items. It might take Garrus digging into the untouched credits he’s accumulated over his time on the station – and perhaps a few unfortunate favors – but he knows he can find someone interested enough to go against the norm of typical turian gear and not ask too many questions. Credits always have a way of piquing curiosity.

Digging into the information accumulated by himself and his team on potential allies – to an extent – Garrus finds an armorer that might be fit for the task. It’s a quarian man, older than he’d have expected for a quarian so far from the Flotilla, but word is that he’s one of the best armorers for anyone working freelance. Garrus had a good feeling he wouldn’t need to worry about dealing with the major merc groups with the quarian’s reputation of being solely sought after through word of mouth. If he remembers right, Melenis had the man make her a set of armor that she has highly recommended multiple times.
