| - Captain Azel looked out into space from the Observation Deck of Sheol at the approaching vessel. The ship -- registered as the AML Eris -- contacted the prison station earlier. The occupants onboard the vessel had intentions of purchasing some prisoners from the station. Azel turned to Heron, a mercenary sitting at one of the monitors and ordered him to initiate docking procedures for the AML Eris. By the time Azel made it from the Observation Deck to the docking platform, the Eris had already landed and it's shore party had already been greeted by a security checkpoint of mercenaries. The group of asari were obviously different than most, a detail that was given away by their green-toned skin. Lilita, the leader of this group of asari, was the first to speak as Azel stepped forward to greet them. Lilita: "Between your tardiness and these goons' staring, I've been offended faster here than anywhere else." Azel: "My apologies. My men don't get off the station so often. It's not everyday they see asari like... you." Lilita: "And what's your excuse?" Azel: "I was just getting things ready for your arrival. Please, come this way." Azel, with an escort of armed Eclipse mercs at her side, made her way down a nearby corridor with the asari following suit. From the glass corridors, the group could look into the interior of Sheol and see the many cells holding hundreds of dangerous prisoners, all of which were sent to the station following the destruction of at the hands of . Finally, the group came to a large sealed door guarded by two autmated turrets and armed guards. One of the guards turned to face a panel on the wall and placed their hand over it, subsequently unlocking the massive door. The door released pressure as it spun open and revealed a large, dimly-lit room with several rows of prisoners cryogenically frozen in special capsules. Azel: "In your message you said you wanted muscle, this is where to get it." Lilita: "So this is where the most vicious prisoners are kept?" Azel: "Yes. Stations have been destroyed and whole colonies have been wiped out because of these animals." Lilita: "Animals? So, they're incredibly dangerous yet mindless?" Azel: "For the most part, yes." Lilita: "Good. The person I work for wants exactly that." Azel: "That's good news. So, which ones do you want?" Lilita: "All of them. While you're at it, get a few dozen of the more small time prisoners ready to go too."
