The Game Has Changed
Part -1
Sometime passed after the events on Akuze but to Kyra it was mostly a work fueled haze. She did not get close to anyone and spent her nights desperately trying to get a good nights sleep. Those that died they were the lucky ones - she relived that night everytime her eyes closed. She was sent on missions and always completed what needed to be done with little to no casualities but the men and women under command would report back. She was cold, distant, apathetic and at times reckless. Then Captian Anderson approached her - said he hand picked her to serve on the Normandy. From what he explained it was top seceret joint project between the Turains and Alliance funded by the Council. At first she turned him down - first formal then more informal with more colorful langague. Captain Anderson though was as stubborn as they came and the veteran was not going to back down.
"You think your the only person that ever lost soliders under their command or in their unit. No - you're not." this struck a nerve in her and it lit a fire something in her snapped and it all came roaring back like a beast from the viod. Before she even knew her fist had made a size hole in the whole next his head and he did not flinch. She was half expecting him to send her to Brig. Except he didn't , his eyes were soft, empathetic, and almost like a father. He knew what it felt like, that nagging, biting feeling that you could have done more, that some ones brother, sister, wife, husband , son or daughter was not coming home. Their loved ones were not coming because you weren't good enough, smart enough, fast enough, you rushed in or paniced. She would always wonder if they blamed her or not.
"They were my family..." Kyra replied her voice a harsh emotional whisper as she hung her head the anger leaving her , only to be replace by a consuming sadness.
"And you'll do better because of them and for them, You'll remember their sacrifce. You're not a bad leader because you care Kyra. You're a great one because you do, they knew it and believed it and I do as well." During that moment she flash back the party that was thrown because of her promotion. Everyone smiling, laughing just how she wanted to remember them...alive.
"Okay Captian...I'll do it."
Part 2
Life on the Normdany was quiet it mostly recon and patrols but it was tight nit bunch the type of crew you needed for the job this ship had to do. Still for most part she started to finally begin to recover then Eden Prime - the day everything changed. Geth Drones were everywhere along with the burnt and mangle corpses of colonist and Marines. Jenkins the newest of the crew member who was a bit of goofy ball but a good solider. She did not even have time to yell get down before it was too late - he was dead before his body hit ground. Lt. Alenko could see it in her eyes she trying fight back that old feeling, that old scar that never healed. She pushed those emotions back focused on the mission and promised to always do better. On Eden Prime she met Gunnery Chief Ashley Williams and came in contact with the Prothean becon. By the end of the mission the beacon was destoryed, the colony in ruins, Nilhus a council Spectre dead and the Council wanted answers. Waking up in the med bay little did she know how much her life would change from that day forward, none of them knew.
The hearing before the Concuil was breif and nothing more than potical postering. Saren was the Concuils golden child. Kyra new they would not even go after with out evidence. Lucky for here that evidence came in the form of young Qurian on Piligramge Tali with the help of Garrus Vakarin a brash C-Sec officer and Urdnot Wrex a grizzled but pragmatic Krogan Bountry Hunter. She found the envidence needed and more when it was all over the Concuil named her humanity first Spectre, the Normandy was hers and the her crew and interesting assortment of Alieans and more. The game had changed and the hunt for Saren was on...
Little did she know how much it had changed.
