 I can't write fanfics so I'm submitting a rough outline of one. If anyone wants to flesh it out that would be awesome. It would be even better if Bioware added something like it as a DLC as it doesn't was created to confirm with ME3.  Please feel free to comment, feedback is welcome. 


Jack:  All for Nought
1) Jack speaks with Liara either in Grissom Academy (if you take Liara with you) or Purgatory.   Or even in a cutscene on the Normandy after the Grissom mission.  Liara goes into more detail about Jack's background and gives her Ms. Nought's (Jack's mother) contact info.  

2) 1-2 missions later, if you talk to Jack in Purgatory she will tell you she meant to leave her estranged family alone but recently found out the colony is under Reaper attack. She is worried that she will lose all chance of seeing them or them knowing she exists. 
Jack: Shepard..... I know you have a lot to deal with but....
Paragon Shepard: (cut her off) get your gear ready and meet me in docking bay 24. 
Renegade Shepard:  I'll see if I have time and the strategic value of an attack. 
Jack: (looks down sideways)  thanks. 

3) the Normandy approaches the world of xxxx. The city that the Noughts live in is located in a northern continent of the planet. You contact the local Alliance CO for the sitrep. He tells you that they were able to secure the civilians and the orbital defense system have been effective in stalling Reaper ground forces.  However, the CO then states a Reaper has blockaded the whole northern hemisphere from orbit.  No shuttles or ships have been able to break through from either direction, and the Alliance fleet is too spread out in the sector to destroy it. 

4) EDI concludes that the Normandy may be able to infiltrate the Reaper and detonate the eezo core like they did on the direlict Reaper. But this time with timed or remote detonated bomb to ensure time for extraction.  Using the stealth drive and EDI's cyberwarfare skills they are able to dock and enter. Jack insists on being in the infiltration team, as they are there to save her family.  Joker reminds her that infiltrating requires her to be quiet, but Jack says she's make up for it on the destruction side. 

5) Basic long hallway type with Reapers as opposition. Following a course set by EDI to reach the reaper's eezo core. Jack come with the following powers: annihilation field, shockwave, and throw. She can equip shotguns and pistols. 

6) when they reach the core, they will have to deal damage to it's shields (about 80%) while under attack by waves of opponents. When the shielding is damaged enough the Reaper will state that it will take your team down with it.  It informs you that it has already started its descent and already in the planet's atmosphere.   It also tries to detonate its own core immediately hoping to take Shepard's team and the city down with it. 

7) Jack uses her biotics to suppress the blast (maybe the black tendrils from her annihilation filed wrap around the core).  She tell the team she can hold it off for 2 minutes at the most and for Shepard to make sure her family make it out safely.  Shepard looks at Jack for a split second and tells her he/she will and goodbye. 

8) timed mission to make it to extraction, a la multiplayer style ensues.  This time, its only two of you, accompanied with shaking and explosions to throw your aim off a bit. 

9) the team makes it out on shuttle and the Reaper explodes in a blue blast. When the team lands they find that while the city has been devastated, the civilians had hidden in an underground bunker and are mostly unharmed.  Shepard locates the Noughts to tell them of Jack's sacrifice, when he hears Jack jokingly accuse him of abandoning her behind him. You turn around and see Jack is slumped over clutching her side with tattered cloths and blood coming out of her ears and nose but still standing.  You are about to introduce her to her family, but Jack's mother instantly recognizes her. Ms. Nought: (slowly, with a cracking voice): Jacqueline?Jack (wry smile): hey.... Mom. They share a tearful embrace and the rest of the family join in. Fade to black. 

10) Back on the Normandy, Jack approaches Shepard to thank him. Shepard plays it causal, saying he needed to clear the sector of Reapers anyway and not think too much into it. Jack thanks him anyway. Shepard counters by stating she saved their lives by delaying the blast so they are even.  If Jack was your love interest then they share a kiss and get intimate. 

11) You gain annihilation field as a bonus power, and have the option of inviting her to the Normandy.  She seems hesitant to leave her students, but a communication with Rodriguez tells her that the kids are fine and that she (Rodriguez) was leading the group just fine.

12) Random conversations with crew reveal that Jack has siblings and they looked happy, as well as other trivia about them.  One of them is also a biotic, and had already been accepted to Grissom academy and set to attend the following school year.  Jack marvels that she might have trained him and not know they were related.  She wonders what if she would have been happy like that if Cerberus hadn't abducted her. At one point Garrus (or someone else) reminds her that if Cerberus hadn't abducted and trained her, she might not have been able to save her family this time.  Jack seems to find this answer acceptable and continues cursing up a storm.

How do you know you can’t write if you don’t try? :) You’ve got a good outline, you should give it a go.

Of note, Jack’s family lived on Eden Prime at the time of the abduction. They certainly might have moved (or been displaced) since, but you should address that part to stay within lore.

This was made with the game in mind, not really a full story.  Umm more like a storybroad than a story persay.  I guess it isn't formated very well.  Haven't gotten much feeback.

As for the planet it takes place on, I didn't want Eden Prime because that plantet is not in Alliance space.  I needed a planet in Alliance space because I need the Allaince there.  I will take suggestions though.
