[We know who it is we want. We have a collective mind.
We don't miss a single step. We're always right behind.
We know we serve someone else. We have swallowed our pride.
We march to this tune of loss. We take this in our stride.]

Current location: Asphodel
Current Physical Appearance: Thane doesn't look too much different. Different clothing, minus the sunglasses.
Summary: Once upon a time, Thane's organs were removed by SHODAN and Motoko; they were replaced with mechanical ones. We all know this story; it's in-game canon. However, Hypatia saw a possibility; with the most deadly assassin in the galaxy under her control, Thane would be an excellent agent. As such, she tormented him and attempted to break him in by occasionally turning off his lungs or heart for a few seconds and generally causing him pain through his mechanical organs. Between this and the constant hallucinations of his dead wife and other Marker shenanigans, it was very trying. Eventually, Skyfire had to carry Thane out from Sacrosanct and take him to Asphodel so he wouldn't suffer any longer, despite Thane's protests. Since then, Thane has been actively working at Asphodel, shooting down any threats with keen precision. On occasion, Hypatia's signal breaks through and causes ( ... )

Until he's out there, shooting down the faces of who had once been allies, it matters little to him.
The drell follows the forms of many. Smoothly, he transitions, from the arts he'd learned in his childhood, tactical practices of the turians, what he'd learned from practicing with Anon those years ago--
Then he stops. Slowly, he sits, folding his hands together.
Then turns his head.
"Skyfire," he says impersonally, politely.

Here is the person who had been responsible for showing him the 'light', as it were. It had been intended to end his life. Quick. Merciful. Painless. A shot to the head and he'd have been relieved. But that's too easy a way out for him. He has to live this punishment.
He moves to stand in front of Thane, a small distance away.
"Continue. Please." He requests evenly.

Current location: Sacrosanct
Current Physical Appearance: A little older, still in decent shape. His arm has been significantly re-taylored.
Summary: So when shit was going down at Sacrosanct, Alejandro was heading off to the shuttles with Isaac, because as much as they're douches to each other engineers gotta stick together. When it came down to it, though, Alejandro determined that at least Isaac needs to survive. Showing a bit more of his true colors than usual, Alejandro used a reverse stasis module to make himself move faster in order to shove Isaac into the escape shuttle and program it to escape without him. Alejandro chose to stay behind ( ... )

Current location: Asphodel
Current Physical Appearance: Much the same. Ten years older, a lot more battered and scarred. Almost like a turian version of Zaeed, really.
Summary: Garrus is still serving Shepard. That's his purpose, his goal, his personal crusade, when you get past all his talk about justice and serving the greater good of the galaxy. That's all gone now - he's convinced they're never getting home now and even if they did, it would probably be a dead galaxy. His family is probably dead and his only friends in the whole galaxy are here ( ... )

Current location: Asphodel (previously Sacrosanct)
Current Physical Appearance: A rather impressive drone, black and green armor and a red HUD. He's completely covered in the synthetic armor that he had previously built as containment for his spark.
Summary: The Air Guardian had originally been part of the resistance, helping the uncorrupted parts of the population escape down planet-side. His suit, however, had made him susceptible to Hypatia's reach. It started with slow inklings, thoughts that did not belong to him. The suit had been designed to be a part of his body, his mind, everything hooked up to nerves and neural output. It was a ridiculously easy target, and she played with him so simply. Planting violence in his head, visions that made him sick. By the time he'd made it down to the planet with the rest of the refugees, it was too late ( ... )

Current Physical Appearance: Samus looks moderately the same, only a few years older and her hair cut pretty darn short (think the-game-that-shall-not-be-named). However, she has a huge surgical scar down her abdomen and across her chest, pretty much the sort you'd find on a post-autopsied body.
Summary: So that suit Samus has. Varia. Full of great power and great responsibility yadda yadda, overall something that could be very bad in the wrong hands. Hypatia had her shiny AI eye all over that. Samus wasn't so inclined to give it up and as it is biologically attached to her, she just said "screw this" and refused to activate it. So Hypatia tried to get it out through "scientific means." That would be her term for torturous and invasive surgery ( ... )
