FailShep and co. go to the Citadel, a Prothean space station that serves as the center of galactic politics, to convince the Council, the ruling body of most of the galaxy and Saren's bosses, that Saren is a traitor. Unfortunately, the Council are Obstructive Bureaucrats and dismiss FailShep's accusations.
FailShep investigates Saren and learn that one of his minions, Fist, has captured a quarian who has information that proves Saren is a traitor. FailShep teams up with a krogan bounty hunter named Urdnot Wrex and together they kill Fist and rescue the quarian.
The quarian's information convinces the Council that Saren is a traitor. FailShep is made a Spectre so he can stop Saren. Shepard is given command of the Normandy. Ambassador Udina forces FailShep to take along the quarian, Tali, but our hero is able to decline the services of turian policeman Garrus Vakarian, who will spend the rest of the first game standing in the lobby of C-Sec headquarters.
FailShep gives a bizarre speech upon assuming direct control of the Normandy, in which he rapidly alternates between telling the crew that they need to work together with the other races to defeat Saren and ranting about how only humanity has the balls to stop Saren.
