Click here for the full Chapter Index!The Story So Far:We have just met our hero, Paragon01 of the BSN. Having been called into the presence of one Jessica Merizan, he is informed of BioWare's dire straits. She presents him with one solution: the
Infinity Engine Creation Kit, the one thing that would restore BioWare to it's rightful place. She orders him to find this
Infinity Engine Creation Kit, and to retrieve it.
: Oh yeah, that's it. Fetch that MacGuffin. Fetch it good. Fetch it
real good, Paragon.

Chapter 1:Our hero lies awake in bed, thinking about the grand adventures he's sure to have. He spent most of last night preparing. Jessica Merizan, the Queen of Ferelden herself came to him, requesting his aid in saving BioWare and the BSN from certain destruction.He had packed all the essentials - his laptop, several copies of the Mass Effect and Dragon Age games, his Mass Effect 3 mouse & headphones with exclusive DLC bonuses, his Liara and Tali shirts to remind him of what he's fighting for, a Garrus action figure so that he'd never be separated from his BRO, as well as a snug N7 themed jacket.Thank God for the BioWare Store, he thought. It offers the largest range of BioWare related products at cheap cheap prices. A bookmarked website for any BioWare fan.However, just before he leaves for his journey in the morning, he's stopped by Jessica Merizan, the BioWare Community Manager who gave him this quest in the first place.: Paragon01! Good, you haven't left yet. I still had a few things to say to you, but I needed some time to work on the E3 presentation. I hadn't even told you where to go!
: I would go to the ends of the earth to save BioWare, Ms Merizan, so don't feel bad.
: Good to know. We need all our most faithful fans in this time of need. Well, right now, we don't know
where the
Infinity Engine Creation Kit is. So, in order to find it, you need to talk to people who may be able to lead you to it. There is a community nearby, to the east. Your first stop is there.
: So they know where this mystical
Infinity Engine Creation Kit is located?
: I don't know, but they seem more versed than we are in these things. They make most of their money by hunting and trading. They live off the land and are neither a wealthy or poor community. We have a good working relationship with them, so you'll find that it's a fairly friendly community for a BioWare fan such as yourself.
: Will... will there be trolls and people who hate BioWare games?
: Maybe there's some people who have a bad opinion of our games but-
: >=(
: You'll be fine, Paragon01. Now, before you leave, I have a couple things to give you. I don't know how much good it will do you, but here. I present to you, a free copy of 1st ed.
Deception and a brand new, just released
Mass Effect High School Manga!
: Do you also have a lighter, Ms Merizan? Or a second edition copy of
Deception?
: Oops, look at the time, I have a flight to catch. Make contact with that community in the east and don't insult their way of life. Remember that and you'll be okay. Good luck. I should go.
...
As our hero leaves his beloved BSN, he wonders for just a moment whether Jessica's parting gifts were less than ideal for his long and demanding trip. Was he ill-equipped and only offered worthless trinkets by BioWare? He of course, puts the thought out of his mind lest he be an entitled PC gamer....
His trek east takes some time, and while the stress of travelling such a long distance starts to get to him, our hero decides to power through it by putting Ms Merizan's gifts to use. He first decides to read Deception.
"Use your imaginations, people. I'm trying to have someone else's breakfast here!" - Kai Leng
...
: Hey, that was great! I was totally wrong,
Deception was totally awesome and it passed quite a bit of time! I regret ever complaining about it. I'm totally satisfied with it. I guess I better make camp and start up again in the morning.
With his laptop sadly in the the charger for the moment, our hero decides to spend his time reading the new Mass Effect manga.
(Yes, it's an actual manga not just random fanart.)
Inspired, Paragon01 starts to let his mind wander, and now fully charged, he takes out his laptop to once again play the Mass Effect 3 demo. As he sits there impressed by the fluid animations, he ponders about the metaphysical implications of a reality similar to the current Mass Effect universe, except set in a high school environment like in the manga.
: I want to be a Gym Teacher!
After a few hours of blasting enemies, once as a Soldier, then annihilating them as a Vanguard, his laptop inevitably runs out of power. Completely immersed in the demo, he only now just notices how dark the sky is and how late it in fact was. Sheepishly, he sets out his sleeping bag and prepares to go to sleep. As he lays down his head and softly drifts off into sleep, our hero takes solace in knowing that it was a night well spent. That his experience of today's events would help him face the dangers of tomorrow.
(We get enough EXP to level up and I raise two of Paragon's tagged Skills: Unarmed and SCIENCE!)
...
The morning after presents no real challenges or notable events. Things are going quite smoothly for our plucky hero. Later in the day, Paragon spots a few buildings in the horizon, "this must be it", he thinks to himself. Eagerly, he approaches the settlement and once arriving, he sees a few people going about their business. Ignoring them, our hero notices a signboard.
: Perhaps the information here will aid in finding the
Infinity Engine Creation Kit. At the very least, I'll at least know where I am no-
Paragon recoils and gasps in shock.: What would
these inferior savages know about the
Infinity Engine Creation Kit?! All they know is how to prove that BioWare is the best developer ever.
...
: Hmm... why is the notice board only half finished?
