It didn’t take long at all for the squads to come back together near the central lab, an extra helping of Alliance-grade ultra-violence forcing Cerberus forces to either run or die. To his surprise, most of them went with the second option.

Hell, if they had been salarian, he’d also have to admit that’d be worth some respect too, really just for going against stereotype. Unfortunately, they were human and very stupid for it.
