Part 3

Part 3 begins as Young gets a lead from a colony in danger, Mona knows a POI to explore the colony safely without being threatened by fear of capture by the Collectors, a scientist Salarian named Mordin is upon a crime ridden city that has been closed for a year named Cloud City. Before setting out Medge confronts the commanders, telling them that he has dreamed of traveling to Cloud City, confused they ask why and he tells them that his brother is the only other of his kind out there and he is the reason why Cloud City is covered in crime, he plans to shoot and kill his brother himself and leave. The two commanders and Medge set out to Cloud City and break in, finding the city to be covered in gangs that are lined up, ready to open fire on eachother. They explore the city trying to find Mordin, the group ends up taking a elevator upstairs and find a huge group of Volus sitting upstairs, as soon as the doors open they open fire and nearly kill all of them. Medge runs and takes cover as Ebrown and Solaris open fire and kill a few, they fight their way to the end of the corridor where there is a balcony, a man turns around and is identified as Medge's older brother, who stares back at Medge, neither surprised to find eachother there.

Both exchange some nasty conversation, some in another language. They are obviously angry at eachother and Medge becomes furious, raising his gun his brother doesn't panic, thinking Medge wont do it. Solaris runs up and tries to lower Medges gun, before he can do so he hits Solaris away and fires a bullet straight into his brothers forehead, knocking him off the balcony to his death. Medge states that Cloud City is now safe since his brothers death, Solaris doesn't judge Medge at all for the murder of his brother, the group moves on to carry out their mission. They travel down to throughout cloud city making their way through the warfare as they pass the engineering deck of half-functioning cargo elevators. In the middle of two elevator shafts stands Mordin, working on data and information he collected while staying at Cloud city, making a temporary safe camp in between the shafts, away from the warfare. Mordin, not surprised to see them, not even confused on who they are begins to talk to them extremely fast, stating his information findings and what he's been doing. Solaris, confused, asks Mordin to slow down and explains why they are here, asking if Mordin would join them on their journey, being a big help due to his medical intelligence. Mordin agrees, saying he has roamed much in his years and this would be a great way to finish them off before he enters the stages of death, his life being short since he is a Salarian. They make their way out and back to The Ulyssey with Mordin. Mordin roams around the ship and begins to observe its structure, amazed and happy that he can embark on such journey.

Upon returning to The Ulyssey, Young sums up the collector information that was gathered, finding the colony in distress. Meanwhile in the medical bay, Mordin has discovered the reason for causing Humans to freeze due to the collector bugs, creating a repellent but telling commanders that it may be faulty and not work, so he expresses caution. Solaris and Ebrown embark to the colony and find that everyone there has been frozen by the bugs, they search around, completely awed before Collectors show up and open fire, trying to capture them. Both commanders are under too much fire and run to a safe place for cover, they find a small area with big doors, one left open a bit. The commanders slide in and close the door, after turning around they hear someone calling for and Alliance pickup. Moving closer and stunned, the person turns around and is found out to be Lt.Riley. Lt.Riley says that he was sent to the colony as a suicide mission due to the fact that they wont pick-up and signaled out his distress calls. He joins the commanders on the ship and helps them on their journey, holding up in the weapons bay, creating weapons with his vast knowledge of doing so. The commanders return also with a Collector body, which is placed in the status tubes in the containment room, oddly intriguing Mona.

Solaris and Ebrown come to find out that they have been summoned by no other than The Alliance leader Alexander Tillery. Ebrown stresses that he doesn't feel good about this because they never listened to Ulyssey's distress call in the first place. Solaris and Young explain that it won't be a bad thing, and it's good that they are actually answering to help them. Solaris and Ebrown choose to take Unknown with them to the Citadel wing because they need some calm and passive. Unknown agrees to come, expressing he doesn't really get along with others, and he can't assure them that he'll be 100% co-operative. They arrive at the wing, which is extremely eye-appealing, the entrance covered with a small fountain. Unknown waits with the commanders, sitting down by the bright windows and meditating. Tillery arrives, shaking the commanders hands and expressing that he is happy they came, he talks to Uknown, confused on who he is and why he is here. Solaris and Ebrown just explain he is a friend and Unknown refuses to turn around to greet Tillery, preferring to stay at the spot and meditate. He tells both Solaris and Ebrown when Tillery walks away to lead that he has a bad feeling about this visit. They sit down and talk to Tillery, who begins explaining about The Collectors. He begins to tell them about the choice of joining up with The Alliance. Tillery also explains that he knows what The Ulyssey has done behind their back because one of the crew members have been providing information of their discoveries, knowing that they are holding a Collector body, they have explored the colony and possess the bug repellent, not to mention mass-arsonry to destroy "The Collectors". Tillery expresses that he wants them to hand over the data and nothing "BAD" will happen and he will finally tell them that the collectors do not exist. Ebrown and Solaris begin to respond confused and angered, before getting to the final parts of the conversation Solaris looks at the gaurd mechs weapons and then at Tillery. He begins to ask about the colony Titan. Tillery shrugs off these questions fast and tries to rear back to the conversation. Solaris begins to remember the riot that happened on Titan and the AR2's used to kill his father. Tillery looks Solaris in the eye and begins to state "I wish, I really wish it wouldn't have come to this Solaris but you were the only remaining one knowing about this act...and it's so sad that you can't be anymore, I really thought we could've had something, a friendship..." Solaris then discovers that Tillery was behind the mass riot murders, after that the mechs come up behind the unarmed commanders and raise their guns, Tillery orders them to kill them, right before they can press the trigger Unknown bursts in and kills the mechs, Tillery makes a run to a secret escape passage and closes the exit. Unknown advises them to take the guns and they make a run to possibly find Tillery, discovering that the whole Human wing was overturned by the mechs, which killed everyone inside. All fight their way out and back to The Ulyssey. The commanders now realize that not only do they have a new enemy, The Alliance, but a traitor on their ship.
