** When Din Korlack meets Admiral Slade with the full intention of negotiating so the Federation will destroy this creature, Slade ''immediately'' agrees to send the Fleet to Menae before any negotiating happens. Din ends up realizing that things must be worse than he thought if humans will go that far - and ''he's going to be close to the frontline''.

** Quentius has Draxon call Menae's main base during a meeting of the Primarchs to prove his point. The base attempts to connect with the research facility and fails... before he realizes ''something'' is actually coming straight for the base. The Primarchs end up listening to the absolute chaos that follows as all attempts to stop the mysterious creature utterly fail, and then when it attacks the room where Draxon's contact is.
--->The sounds that now came through the call were so horrible, Quentius couldn't believe they were real. A mixture of Turian screams, the crunching and snapping of bones, wet, meaty ripping and tearing sounds, all accompanied by gurgling snarls and growls, made up a symphony of death that filled the Hall, the speakers amplifying every last terrible noise.\\\
Then, after what felt like hours, the screaming stopped. The last sound to be heard before the line went dead was Commander Verras's voice, now reduced to a pitiful whimper. "The mouths...oh, sweet Spirits...the mouths..."

* A canon sidestory has Nator recount in utter despair that he's learned the NEF, as terrifying as they are, barely qualify as ''bacteria'' to the true powers of reality. The seemingly unstoppable nightmarish monsters they command aren't even worth noticing to the "true sapient life". Worse, one of those beings that he describes as "residing in a dimension further above us than we are to our own shadows" has taken notice of him. He left his friend all the information the NEF gave him in the eventuality that the being paying attention to him "decides he's no longer an amusing mote of dust."

Something eldritch somehow got onboard a NEF warship and wiped out the entire crew, something so bad that the humans who have faced countless horrors were terrified to the point of begging to be destroyed. And now the Turians have taken the ship with said horror onboard and have brought it to the heart of their civilization.

* There's a brief mention of a Turian who, decades before, somehow managed to start a cult that took control of half a planet and demanded independence from the Hierarchy. Said half planet got pounded back into the Stone Age, but... for all of humanity's hopes of preventing Eldritch cults from spreading around, it may actually be too late.

** It gets worse as Quentius eventually learns more details from one of the Turian Merchant Marines who discovered the ship in question: the ship ''wasn't'' abandoned when the turians found it. There were still humans onboard, sending out garbled transmissions that nevertheless made one thing clear: they were ''begging'' the turians to blow up their ship because something horrific was loose onboard. When the Turian Navy eventually showed up and decided to ignore the warnings and tow the ship back home, they were detecting no human lifesigns of any kind on the derelict vessel.

* After the events on Digeris, Sparatus reveals that the Turians may have a stroke of good fortune, as they have discovered an intact and completely abandoned NEF vessel in their space, and were able to tow it to Palaven's Moon of Menae in the hopes of reverse-engineering their technology. Of course, Quentius points out the obvious concern: why would the humans completely abandon one of their own warships and just leave it floating in the middle of space?
