    Summary

    Summary:
    Freed from indoctrination upon Sovereign's destruction, Saren Arterius spent months in incarceration for his crimes against the galaxy. In the meantime, the Council still refuses to take the Reaper threat seriously, despite Commander Shepard's death.

    Saren is too dangerous to be kept alive, yet too valuable to destroy. They found an alternative, but forgot to account for one minor issue: They're both hard to kill.
     
    Excerpt:
    Nothing mattered. He had lost years of his life because the Council didn’t see a need for him.

    Their best agent.

    He’d… he’d dedicated his life to them and for what? To be thrown under lock and key until they saw a specific need for him. Like he was some tool to be thrown in the back of a workshop to collect dust and be forgotten? He wasn’t even sure if it was anger he felt or disappointment or just unadulterated rage. Two Spirits-damned years.
