Oh, BEAUTIFUL! Gotta love these strange alien words you come up with, mp3.1415player!

Only thing to note is that the Blue Suns shouldn't exist here as they were a merc group created by humans.
Unless it was more about those strange people who installed all the relays...So now the Humanx are aware of the Geth pretending to be them. Makes you wonder if, to get around Citadel space with no one the wiser, the Humanx might pretend to be Geth... Nvm, my mind's going to strange places. Different places than normal, but still business as usual. Carry on and good night y'all.
Ah, the Dreaded Thranx Four handed Riffle.The alarm was rather more than mild when he found out how having four hands made shuffling cards into something that was downright terrifying...
Perhaps it's a covert operation by the Turians, who would at least have the resources to do it without anyone being the wiser. Or for that matter the Salarians, of course, as they'd be even more likely to be able to wage a secret war. There are a couple of private groups that might be able to pull such a thing off too.
#Lord Alamo for PremierSomeone sat down next to him. He glanced over then his eyes widened a little.
"Lord Alamo," he said politely to the representative of the Empire of Texas, who nodded.
"Commander DiGriz," the other man, fifteen years or so his senior, replied calmly. He took the glass the server mechanism handed him with a murmur of thanks and sipped it, looking pleased for a moment before putting it down on the bar top with a faint clink. "Sometimes we find ourselves in a position we didn't really want for reasons that come as something of a surprise," he continued after a few seconds of silence, apparently concentrating on the ice clinking around in his glass. "We make a quick decision, and things suddenly get complicated. Right or wrong, we have to live with the consequences. And it's a mark of character as to how we do that."
He glanced at DiGriz, then went back to contemplating his drink. "Saving the lives of someone you've never met because it's the correct thing to do is… admirable. Even if it comes at a cost to you." He took another sip, before replacing the glass on the bar. "And while taking lives isn't something anyone should look forward to, on occasion you have to make a choice. I happen to think you made the right one."
I get the impression they're using something that sounds like a military grade cyclotron to accelerate the projectiles up to speed.
Also they ignite on the contact with the kinetic barrier, for additional fun.That seems pretty accurate. Think CIS droid control ship with cyclotron rings around the outside. Said rings, powered by antiproton reactors, spin up microgram mass pellets of lithium deuteride to 90%+ lightspeed, probably with eezo reactor assistance.
It then shoots bursts at the targets like a GAU-8 Avenger. The pellets initiate fusion on impact.
The result is a mass driver weapon, just like everyone else uses, but using a whole bunch of very small, very effective and VERY fast rocks rather than a big chunk of iron.

Hmm, any bets on the Batarians, despite being Batarian, managing to figure out some basic pattern recognition regarding the forces they lose being ones they sent after the Quarians? ...And then jumping to the wrong conclusion and attacking the Migrant Fleet in enough force that the Geth can't do their stealth-sniper trick if they want to keep the Fleet intact.
Has the potential to be a heartwarming parent/child reunion, or a horrible drama-fest, or something in between, or all of the above.
I think ship-class mass drivers only get up to a few % of light speed so yeah, fast rocks. If this is truly relatavistic it's is in a class far above that. This sounds closer to a very brute-force version of the bomb-pumped laser missiles of the Honorverse.
Relativistic exploding nuclear buckshot. I would rather not be on the wrong end of any of those four words, much less all of them.That seems pretty accurate.

It would have to be relativistic to cross a million kilometres in something like three seconds:I think ship-class mass drivers only get up to a few % of light speed so yeah, fast rocks.

In fact, light travels at just under 300 000 km/s, so that's either FTL or the timer for the first rounds started after the last were firedFiring procedure initiated, two hundred rounds per target, one thousand four hundred rounds released, target impact in three thousand fifty four milliseconds… target impact.
