Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/12592552/1/When #4's death was confirmed, the invasion fleet (or rather, what was left of it) fell into disarray.
If it was a Turian fleet, the next person in the chain of command would take over and continue the mission. He would not have to worry about blunders committed by his predecessors.
If it was an Asari navy, the remaining captains would spend hours discussing what to do next, then they would retreat as reaching a consensus without a Matriarch telling them what to do is almost unheard of.
If it was a Salarian fleet the entire thing would never come to pass as Salarians are not foolish enough to fall for such tricks.
But it was a Batarian fleet. With only ship captains left, the chain of command was murky at best. It did not help that none of the captains wanted to take command, knowing very well that the returning commander (and they had to return, it was obvious at that point) would be blamed for the entire fiasco. We can't have 'respectable members of aristocracy' look like common fools, can we?
After several hours of throwing the command among each other, the captains finally reached a decision – flee the system and start a new mercenary group in the Terminus Systems. They probably grabbed as much data as they could and later on sold it to the Shadow Broker.
