you to my friends, family, and yes even the BioWare writers for helping me
reach for the stars.”

Prologue
The scene cuts in with Shepard looking out at a blue
sky filled with white clouds, the camera never shows his face.
Shepard: Earth, who would know how much we would lose
from the fight with the Reapers? It
started simple enough in 2148 humanity
discovered a small cache of highly advanced Prothean technology hidden deep
beneath the surface of Mars on the south polar region of Promethei Planum.
Building on the remnants of this long extinct race, humans quickly explored the
science of mass effect fields, leading to the development of faster than light
travel and beginning detailed exploration of the Sol system. Then in 2149 following information from the
translated data cache on Mars, humans discovered that Charon, Pluto's moon, is
actually a massive piece of dormant Prothean technology, a mass relay, encased
in ice. Once activated, Jon Grissom leads the first team of explorers through
the relay, which instantaneously transports them to another relay in Arcturus,
36 light-years away. The explorers discover that the mass relays are part of a
vast network, making travel across the galaxy possible. The Systems Alliance
charter is signed by the eighteen largest nations on Earth. The Alliance soon
becomes the military and exploratory spearhead of humanity. Humanity started to colonize other planets in
2152 the Delta Pavonis Foundation, a major consortium based on Earth, begins
settlement of humanity's first extra-solar colony world, the planet Demeter.
Later that year, additional colonies are founded on Eden Prime and Terra Nova. For five years we thought we were alone as we
didn’t find any intelligent life forms, but that would all change in 2157. In 2157 humanity made its violent first
contact with another spacefaring race: The Turians. The Turians observed human
explorers attempting to activate a dormant mass relay, a practice forbidden by
galactic law after the Rachni Wars, and attack. Over the next three months, a
brief but tense conflict known by humans as the First Contact War and by Turians
as the Relay 314 Incident ensues. The
war was quick and bloody and luckily for the humans the Turians didn’t use
their full military might, Turians proved to be one of humanities biggest
allies at the end of the Reaper invasion.
After the war an anonymous extranet manifesto is published following the
end of the First Contact War. The manifesto calls for an army, a
"Cerberus", to be established to defend humanity against inevitable
alien attacks. Derided as "survivalist rhetoric written by a man named
Illusive Man", the manifesto is quickly forgotten by the media. Humanity continues to expand, founding more
colonies and establishing trade alliances with many of the other species who
recognize the authority of the Citadel Council. In 2165, the Council makes
official recognition of humanity's growing power and influence in the galactic
community. Humanity is granted an embassy on the Citadel, the political and
economic heart of the galaxy. Tensions grow between humans and Batarians as
they compete for territory in the Skyllian Verge. Eleven years later Batarian-funded pirates
and criminals launch a surprise attack, later known as the Skyllian Blitz, on
the human colony of Elysium. The assault is repulsed by the Alliance Navy and
ground teams. In 2178 as retaliation for
the Skyllian Blitz, the Alliance launches a major offensive against the moon of
Torfan and destroys the criminal bases there, mostly populated by Batarians.
The threat against human colonies from Batarian extremists is curtailed. In 2183 Humans and Turians collaborate on an
engineering project co-sponsored by the Citadel Council: an experimental
frigate with a prototype stealth system, the SSV Normandy SR1. Captain David Anderson is given command of the
ship, and I was assigned as executive officer.
Which is how this all started, during the maiden voyage of the SSV
Normandy we received an emergency message from Eden Prime. They were under attack and the Normandy was
sent in which is when I saw my first Reaper.
It was bigger than any known star ship and this Reaper was named
Sovereign. This is where I met Ashley
Williams a career soldier, she help us during the fight. Later I found out a rogue Spectre Saren
Arterius was behind the attack on Eden Prime, but before I could stop him he
ran. After stopping Saren’s plan to
detonate bombs to cover his tracks I came across a Prothean beacon. It showed me the coming war with the Reapers
but it exploded before anyone else could see what I saw. The explosion knocked me out for hours, by
the time I came to the SSV Normandy was almost to the Citadel. While at the Citadel I uncovered Saren’s
intentions thanks to the help from Tali, Garrus, and Wrex. I was made the first human Spectre; my
mission was to stop Saren and his loyal Geth army. Along the way we came across Liara a
beautiful and smart Asari, and though the mission was touch and go we fell for
each other. Liara was forced to watch
her mother die, when we discovered the Rachni Queen. I decided to let the queen go in the hopes
the past would not repeat itself. Along
the way we lost Kaidan Alenko a powerful biotic and good friend, it was save
him or Ashley and I picked Ashley. Saren
was running out of places to hind and we tracked him to Ilos, after talking to
a Prothean VI we discovered Saren had intended to bring the Reapers back by
using the Citadel. The conduit which
linked Ilos directly to the Citadel and a relay inside of it, Saren beat us to
it but we followed him. After stopping
Saren I gave the order to save the Council, the costs to the Alliance fleet
were immense, but in the end Sovereign was defeated and humanity was given a
seat on the Council. I was tasked with
the choice between Ambassador Donnel Udina and Captain Anderson; I picked Udina
which turned out to be a mistake as he was part of the takeover attempt on the
Citadel by Cerberus. After the fight
with Saren I was sent to round up any pockets of Geth that might be left. That is when the Normandy was attacked and
destroyed by a Collector’s ship.
Everyone but a few crew members made it out, while getting Joker out of
the ship I was pushed into the vacuum of space.
I watched helplessly as the Normandy exploded. I was killed by the blast and reentry into a
nearby planet’s atmosphere. Cerberus
with the help from Liara found my body and spent two years bringing me back. Along with bring me back Cerberus rebuilt the
SSV Normandy and added major upgrades one was the ships AI EDI the SR2 blew the
old Normandy out of the water, and of course there was only one pilot that
would do, Joker was back at the helm.
After waking up I worked with Cerberus to take down the Collectors who
were attacking human colonies. Everything
told me not to trust Cerberus but I needed their help so I played along. During my mission to stop the Collectors I
assembled a great squad, starting with a hyper yet brilliant Salarian Scientist
Mordin Solus. Mordin would later help me
to cure the Krogan genophage a disorder unleashed on the Krogan to keep their
birth rate down. There were others as
well Grunt a genetically perfect Krogan, Jack a powerful human biotic, Jacob
Taylor a soldier and friend, Kasumi Goto a master thief, Legion a Geth soldier,
Miranda Lawson, Samara an Asari Justicar, Tali my Quarian friend came along,
Thane Krios a Drell assassin who gave his life protecting a council member,
Zaeed Massani the bounty hunter, and of course Garrus. I also helped Liara take over the Shadow Brokers
base it was good to see her but she had changed. After defeating the Collectors I returned to
Earth to face charges ranging from Genocide for the Alpha Relay incident, when
I slammed a comet into the relay and killed over three hundred thousand Batarians. There was also treason for working with
Cerberus a known terrorist organization.
I was found not guilty because the Alpha Relay was about to be used by
the Reapers to begin their invasion and in light of my prior service the treason
charge was dropped. It was a short lived
victory the Reapers invaded Earth six months later hitting nearly every solar
system in force. I brought together as
many of the races as I could and we took the fight to the Reapers on
earth. When it was done I thought I would
get a vacation and relax little did I know what lay ahead.
Mass
Effect: Dark Sky
ACT
I: Awakening
Fade in: The earth after weeks of Reaper attacks and
the explosion from the catalyst, the Earth is shown smoldering shown from a
camera panning down from space slowly getting closer to the rubble of
London. A mother and small child cling
to what appears to be their dead husband/father. Slowly the scene moves to an alliance soldier
picking up a fallen British flag that is badly damaged. The camera fades out, and fades in on Admiral
Hackett. Hackett is shown on the bridge
of a badly damaged alliance ship.
Hackett: Have
we found Commander Shepard or the Normandy?
Voice on radio: Negative sir, but we believe Shepard
may be in some rubble in what is left of the Citadel.
Hackett: I want him found, if he somehow lived he
will need medical attention, if not the galaxy owes him a proper funeral.
Voice on radio: Yes sir.
Voice in the background: Admiral Hackett the other
members of the fleet wish to know what to do about getting back to their home
worlds.
The scene ends with Adm. Hackett walking to a video
comm. Console.
Cut scene to the crashed Normandy. The camera pans
over to Joker limping through the damaged ship as EDI helps him.
EDI: Jeff you had no choice Hackett ordered the
retreat.
Joker: I know EDI.
EDI: But what about Commander…
Joker: EDI I
know I left him behind, you don’t think I know that!? I left the fight I ran; I have to live with
that.
EDI: Jeff I wasn’t trying to upset you.
Joker: I know EDI, I know… Let’s get the crew
together we need to figure this out.
EDI is heard over a ship wide system with static
cutting in and out.
EDI: (broken with static) all crew report to the
conference room.
Camera fades out.
The next scene is an Alliance soldier on the badly damaged Citadel he is
searching with an Omni tool.
Soldier: Wait… Is that? It can’t be…
I found Commander Shepard; get a doctor he is still breathing… HURRY!
The camera cuts to a scene of Admiral Hackett
finishing the meeting with the other races and is clearly concerned. Though we cannot hear the conversation it is
clear the other members of the fleet are worried.
Voice over the radio: Sir, Admiral Hackett,
Commander Shepard has been found and he is alive!
Adm. Hackett: Damn, alive? How bad is he? Where did they take him?
Voice over the radio: No report on medical condition
other then he was breathing and not awake.
He was taken to a hospital outside of New York City.
Adm. Hackett: New York City? Didn’t it get hit hard
when the Reapers invaded?
Voice over the radio: Yes sir, it is a miracle that
the hospital is still standing.
Adm. Hackett: I’ll take a shuttle at once. Hackett
Out.
The scene cuts to the Normandy’s conference room,
all the crew members are seen inside.
Joker: The ship’s engines needs repair or we stay
here forever.
Javik: That is because you ran and now the Reapers
may have well won.
James: Listen Joker wouldn’t leave the fight without
a good reason, and we need to worry about getting home not blaming each other.
Joker: I... Didn’t. (Joker is distressed) We are
here so... (EDI breaks in)
EDI: Jeff saved all of your lives; he picked you up after
the retreat was given so let’s not blame him for keeping all of us alive.
Liara: What about Shepard?
Joker: He hit the beam after that I… just don’t
know. He may be dead.
Ashley: Dead?
Liara: Perhaps you don’t care about him, but I do.
Ashley: I didn’t know Liara... I’m sorry, I am sure
he is alive.
The scene fades out to black.
The camera pans to a dirty operating room with
doctors and nurses hovering around a table.
Doctor 1: Nurse we need an EKG now I want to know
how his heart is functioning.
Nurse 1: Yes doctor right away.
Doctor 2: I want blood draws and a full scan of any
synthetics he may have implanted.
Nurse 1:
Doctor his heart rate is normal and appears to be working well.
Doctor 1: Thank you.
Nurse 2: All synthetics appear to be operating
normally, Shepard has burns on 30 percent of his body but he should make a full
recovery provided he wakes up.
The camera goes black. It pans into a dream of Shepard and a
child.
Child: You can’t stay here.
Shepard: Why? I am finally finished fighting, I can
relax.
Child: No... No... You must fight, you must lead!
Shepard: I don’t want to, I want to... NO I need to
rest. Three years I have given, I have
died, I have lost why should I fight any more?
Child: Only you know that reason, but you also know
that you will never rest until the Reapers are defeated.
Shepard: They are defeated. I finished the fight.
Child: No you didn’t, it’s time to wake up Shepard, and
it’s time to WAKE UP! (As Shepard starts to wake up you can faintly hear “your
daughter needs you”)
The camera shows a scared Shepard lying on a hospital
bed with Hackett by his side. Shepard
quickly opens his eyes and grabs Hackett’s gun.
Hackett: Shepard relax your safe, you need to relax.
Shepard: (pointing the gun at everyone in the room) Where
is my crew? Where are the Reapers? Where am I?
Hackett: Your in New York, you were injured after
the catalyst deployed against the Reapers, they are dead.
Shepard: Dead? I’m in New York, where is the
Normandy?
Hackett: We don’t know, but reports say they hit the
Sol mass relay before it was damaged. Now,
why don’t you stop pointing that gun at me?
Shepard Lowers the weapon and relaxes.
Shepard: I saw a child. I spoke to a ghost that said
it created the Reapers. Where is
Anderson?
Hackett: He was killed in the assault; his body was
found next to yours.
Shepard: He is dead?
Hackett: Yes.
Shot in the side, died of blood loss.
Shepard: I... I thought it was a dream… the Illusive
Man made me shoot him.
Hackett: You
shot Anderson?
Shepard: No, I was controlled.
Hackett: The only people found near you were Anderson,
not the Illusive Man.
Shepard: He
killed himself… he must be there.
Hackett: No. He was not there, are you sure he was
there?
Shepard: Yes… I saw him kill himself.
Hackett: We will keep looking then, but facts are
Shepard you shot Anderson, unless I am missing something.
The Camera fades out to the Normandy, where Garrus
is working on a computer screen.
Garrus: EDI,
what needs to be done to get our weapons online?
EDI: Other than flying?
Garrus: Now is not the time EDI.
EDI: Of course, provided we can repair the engines we
can in theory take off again.
Garrus: Then Tali and I need to get working.
The camera shows Tali and Garrus looking at the
Normandy’s drive core. The camera fades
to Joker working on the radio system with Specialist Traynor.
Traynor: Without communications we have no clue
where we are, let alone how to get back.
The galaxy map works off of the comm. system.
Joker: One thing at a time first we need to turn the
thing on, and see without power none of this matters.
EDI: Jeff I have restored 50% of the power to
systems.
Joker: See… who needs luck when you have an advanced
AI. Thanks EDI.
The camera next shows Garrus, Tali, and Adams
looking over the drive core.
Engineer Adams: Garrus facts are simple space flight
is not possible without a way to power the faster than light drive.
Garrus: Then we need to fix it, Shepard is alive I
know it, and he needs us so… Damn it we will get this done.
Adams: Of course.
Adams walks off to a computer screen.
Tali: Garrus
perhaps you were a little harsh on him, he is trying.
Garrus: I know Tali, but… this is for Shepard he
would be working twice as hard to save us.
Tali: If we can fix this we can be underway again.
The Screen fades out to the hospital room in New
York. Shepard sits on his bed looking at
a data pad. He is clearly worried. He sets the pad down on the bed stand and
walks to a broken out window.
Shepard (in thought) what have I stopped? It’s all ruined, millions of people dead, our
way of life gone, what have I stopped?
As Shepard looks out the window Hackett walks into
his room.
Hackett: Captain Shepard we need to talk.
Shepard: Yes sir what can I do… Wait a second you
said captain, not commander.
Hackett: Yes Captain, you have been promoted.
Shepard: Promoted? My squad is lost somewhere, and
the Reapers will return, how do I earn a promotion?
Hackett: The Reapers are gone Captain, and as for
your squad… we have all lost friends in this fight. You have earned this don’t forget it. We still haven’t found the illusive man but
he may have been blown out when the Citadel was damaged.
Shepard: When can I get out of this hospital and
find my team?
Hackett: Soon enough Captain.
Hackett walks out of the room and Jack walks in.
Shepard: Jack you made it!
Jack: Of course I did, I was south of you. I am glad you are ok I was worried.
Shepard: I am fine but the Normandy is lost along
with my crew.
Jack: If Joker was flying I am sure they are
fine. He was a cocky fu… ass but a great
pilot. I’m heading back to the students
I just wanted to check in Shepard and make sure your still… Well I’ll see you
later.
Jack turns around to walk out but stops, and turns.
Jack: Oh well **** it I wanted to do this forever.
Jack grabs Shepard and kisses him and grabs his ass.
Jack: You’re welcome.
Jack walks out and the camera fades out.
Camera cuts to a dream sequence of a burnt out city
with rubble and fires. Joker is walking
through a street with EDI. In the
distance there is crying, screams, and a faint voice can be heard.
Ghostly Voice: (sounds like Shepard) Joker… Joker…
JEFF!
Joker awakes in his pilot chair; sweat is running
down his face. He puts his face in his
hands.
EDI: Jeff, are you ok?
Joker: I’m fine EDI just a nightmare. I’ll be fine.
EDI: Jeff I am starting to worry about you, and so
is Dr. Chakwas.
Joker: (clearly getting upset) EDI I am fine! For
all I know Shepard is dead, Earth is lost because of me! I had a bad dream I don’t need milk and
cookies. I need to get this ship running
again!
EDI: Jeff, you can’t think like that there is a
chance the Normandy will never fly again and if that is the case you need to
accept that fact.
Joker: I know that EDI, but until I know there is no
chance to return I won’t stop trying. I
won’t let the Normandy go down as the ship that cut and ran during the biggest battle
in history.
EDI: Yes Jeff, of course. I still want you to see the Doctor though.
Joker: Fine EDI, let’s go.
As Joker gets up with EDI’s help a broken
transmission comes over the radio.
Radio: (very broken and static) SSV N… andy, (more
static) I say again … (broken) come in we need to…
The radio falls silent.
EDI: Jeff come on we need to go see Dr. Chakwas she
is expecting you.
Joker: EDI the radio was working how can I leave
now?
EDI: Jeff you are the pilot not the communications
officer, Specialist Traynor will keep at it.
Joker: Well let Ashley know she is the ranking
officer she is in charge anyway.
EDI: Of course Jeff, now let’s go.
The scene cuts to Liara in her room, looking at a
picture of her and Shepard. She looks as
if she has been crying. She begins to
talk to the picture.
Liara: Dr. Chakwas told me an hour ago Shepard…
(Sobbing) You would have been a wonderful father to our girl. I just don’t know how I am going to do this,
I know my mother raised me by herself… but I miss you, I want you in my arms
telling me it will be ok. (Crying)
The door opens and Ashley is at the entrance.
Ashley: Liara are you ok? Do you need anything?
Liara: (wiping the tears from her face) I’ll be ok…
My emotions got the better of me, it’s just tough knowing that he may be alive
and he may never know about… well, about us being here.
Ashley: We will get back to him and you two will be
together again. I promise.
Ashley turns to leave.
Liara: Ashley.
Ashley stops but doesn’t turn around.
Ashley: (looking over her shoulder) Yes Liara.
Liara: Thanks for stopping by, you have become a
very good leader to this crew, and someone I call my friend.
Ashley: Thank
you, Liara but I am just filling in for Shepard. He will be back, and then I won’t have to
clean out that stupid space hamster’s cage anymore.
Ashley walks out and the door closes behind her.
Liara: (to the picture again) I love you Shepard… I
love you.
The scene fades out showing Liara kissing the photo
and setting on a stand near her bed.
The camera pans over to Shepard looking over a data
pad. He sets it down and looks out of the window. The door opens and Adm. Hackett and two
people are with him.
Hackett: Captain Shepard we need to talk.
Shepard: Of course Admiral what is it?
Hackett: You
said you shot Anderson, and then the Illusive Man killed himself?
Shepard: Yes, he made me shoot Anderson; somehow he
was in my mind.
Hackett: We
found a video feed of the control panel, and let’s just say things don’t add up
Captain. Take a look for yourself,
Private cue up the video.
Private: Yes sir.
The soldier walks to the video screen and starts the
footage. The camera shows Anderson
walking to the console and looking at it.
As he is looking at the console the Illusive man slowly approaches
behind him. (Video begins to flicker) The Illusive Man takes out a gun and
shoots Admiral Anderson in the back. He
begins to look over the console. (Video
flickers more and becomes distorted) Shepard can be seen approaching the
console no words can be heard but he appears to be talking to the Illusive
man. The video shows the Illusive man
shooting himself. (Only static can be seen) When the footage resumes Shepard is
gone, the Illusive man gets up and runs out the door. The last thing that can be seen is the
Citadel’s arms opening in the background as the footage cuts out.
Hackett: Thank you Private, Dismissed.
Private: (Turning and saluting) Yes sir. (He turns
and leaves)
Hackett: Shepard, why would you say you killed
Anderson when it was the Illusive man, and where did you go after the video cut
out.
Shepard: This doesn’t make sense I remember shooting
Anderson not finding him dead. When you
called me over the radio I went to the console to try to start the crucible.
Hackett: I never called you Captain. Your radio didn’t even work when we found you
it was destroyed.
Shepard: No you called me I passed out, and woke up
in another chamber talking to a VI or AI or something. It told me I had to choose between three
choices. One would destroy the Reapers,
one would allow me to control the Reapers, and the last would merge synthetics
and organics DNA together. I… decided to
destroy the Reapers there was an explosion next thing I remember was waking up
in this room.
Hackett: I see Shepard… Shepard this is Dr. Messner
he is a mental health doctor; I want him to talk with you.
Shepard: Sir I am not crazy I know what I saw.
Hackett: No one said you’re crazy Shepard, but
perhaps your mind is remembering things different as a coping mechanism.
Shepard: Sir, I need to find my crew I don’t have
time for this.
Hackett: It’s not a request Captain; I need to know
you are 100% before I send you back out there.
Hackett turns and leaves the room, only Shepard and
the doctor remain they both sit down at a table across the room. The camera follows them.
Doctor: Shepard why don’t you tell me a little about
you and the last five years.
Shepard: Doctor I really don’t have time for this.
Doctor: What else do you have to do Captain? The Admiral was very clear on this, you need
my okay and to get that we have to talk about a few things.
Shepard: Fine let’s get to it, what do you want to
know? What do you honestly think you can
do to help me?
Doctor: Let’s start from the time you became a Spectre. You told the… (The doctor’s voice slowly
fades as the camera focuses on Shepard).
Flash to a cut scene of Shepard’s fight on the
Citadel with Sarin. Flash back to the doctor.
Shepard appears impatient and bothered by the questions.
Doctor: Ok, let’s move forward. After the first Normandy was attacked by the
Collectors why did you order Liara off the ship and then go back for Flight
Lieutenant Jeff Moreau? Why not, have
Liara help you? For all you knew Lieutenant
Moreau was already dead.
Flash to a cut scene of the Normandy’s destruction,
Shepard loads Joker into the evacuation pod and gets blown into space. Flash back to Shepard.
Shepard: There wasn’t time to sit and take stock
doctor, perhaps Liara would have helped but why risk two lives if I can do
it. As for going back to get Joker, I
knew he would be ok, and after Virmier I wasn’t going to lose another squad member
if I could help it.
Doctor: I see, so you risked your life to protect
your crew?
Shepard: Yes it’s what a leader does; it’s what a
friend does.
Doctor: A friend yes, but a leader would have known
the mission comes first. Is that what
happened on the Citadel with Anderson?
You were too late to save him?
Why did you wait for the Illusive Man to fake his death, why not just
shoot him?
Flash to Shepard’s memory of the events on the
Citadel. Flash back to Shepard in the
hospital now standing.
Shepard: HOW
MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU!?
Everything I have done has been for the good of the galaxy. I remember things very differently than that
video.
Doctor: Captain please relax, and sit down. I wasn’t questioning your motives I just want
to know why you remember something that clearly has no proof of happening.
Shepard: What about the bodies?
Doctor: Bodies? What bodies?
Shepard: In the corridor before the console there
where thousands of dead and processed bodies like on the Collector’s ship.
Doctor: I have no report of that the only people
found inside what was left of the Citadel were you and Anderson.
Shepard: I don’t understand. They were there, and a Keeper was processing
them.
Doctor: Perhaps the stress of knowing what could
happen caused your mind to remember things differently. It is not uncommon with those who suffer from
post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD.
You here in a hyper state of alertness your mind had to cope with this.
Shepard: I know about PTSD doctor, I don’t have it.
Doctor: Really, you stated you had reoccurring
nightmares of a small child, one that you watched die, and that you heard the
voices of dead team members or friends during those dreams correct?
Shepard: Yes… but
Doctor: Captain you have not been the first soldier
with PTSD and you won’t be the last.
There are medications that can help, and this shouldn’t prevent you from
getting back to full duty. My concern
however is the truth may manifest itself via dreams or flash backs. The mind has a way of forcing these issues to
the surface. For now I am going to
prescribe some medications, and we will talk again soon.
Shepard: Fine, but I need to get out there and find
my team.
Doctor: I understand your wish to do so, but have
you considered they are gone?
Shepard: No I haven’t!
Doctor: Shouldn’t you?
Shepard: No doctor I don’t think so. Maybe you would write off your friends so
quickly, but I won’t. As long as I draw
breath I will try to find my team.
Doctor: I see Captain; well try to get some rest we
will talk again tomorrow.
Doctor Messner gets up and walks to the door, before
leaving he turns to Shepard.
Doctor: Captain Shepard, I want you to know everyone
here knows the amount of sacrifice you have made, it may not seem like it right
now but we are on your side.
Then he walks out the door and it closes. Shepard walks to the window and looks out as
he hears a ping from the data pad on the bed.
He walks to it and turns it on.
Illusive Man: Shepard I warned you not to get in my
way, how is the hospital treating you?
Shepard: I knew I should have killed you when I had
the chance, don’t worry, I won’t make the same mistake twice!
Illusive Man: Noted.
But Shepard how will you find your friends and beloved Normandy if you
kill the one person who knows where they are?
Shepard: You know where they are? If you have one ounce of humanity left in
that body of yours you’ll tell me.
Illusive Man:
Afraid I can’t do that Shepard I need the Normandy, more precisely EDI. Too bad your doctors think you’ve gone insane
it will be weeks before they clear you.
Shepard: Why EDI she will never work for you again,
Joker removed the shackles.
Illusive Man: And Legion freed the Geth, only to
have the Reapers take them over again.
Let’s just say Harbinger has been very enlightening.
Shepard: You’re with Harbinger? How is it alive?
Illusive Man: I’ve enjoyed our chats Commander… oh
sorry Captain Shepard, but I’m not making it any easier for you. Good Bye, I am sure we will speak again.
The camera cuts to the Illusive Man standing on the
deck of Harbinger, as it fades to black.
The camera cuts to Admiral Hackett and Dr. Messner
talking in an office.
Hackett: Well doctor when can he get back to it?
Doctor: I can’t say for sure, he may be fine then
again he could be putting on a show for me it is to… it’s too soon to tell.
Hackett: Doctor is there a reason he would need to
stay longer? Yes or no?
Doctor: Yes I would like him to complete our six
month program, but I know that isn’t going to happen. Perhaps there is a way to have everyone get
what they want however.
Hackett: I’m listening.
Doctor: I can go with the Captain and ensure he does
not pose a risk to himself or others.
Hackett: An interesting thought, but there is no way
to ensure your safety doctor.
Doctor: I understand the risk and I am fine with it.
Hackett: I’ll talk to Shepard if he green lights it
I’ll set it up, if not he will stay here under your care.
Doctor: I understand, thank you.
The camera fades out and fades in on the docking
deck of the Normandy.
Cortez is working on one of the shuttles. The fight
on Earth has damaged one shuttle the other appears to be undamaged. As he works Ashley walks up to him.
Ashley:
What’s the status of our shuttles?
Cortez: That one over there is ready to go this one
is another story. Do we know where we
are yet?
Ashley: No,
EDI and Traynor are working on it. We
had radio for a few seconds but it cut out again. I need you to take the other shuttle with
Vega, Tali, and PVT Westbrook and look for fresh water, food, and other things
that we may need if we are here much longer.
Cortez: Rodger, just let me know when they are
ready, I recommend waiting until morning it will give use more light.
Ashley: Ok,
tomorrow then. I’ll let the others know.
James: I heard you ma’am count me in.
Ashley: James, call me Ashley no ma’am ****.
James: You got it.
Ashley: Have
your gear ready wheels up at 0600.
James & Cortez: Got it.
Ashley turns and leaves as she does EDI come on over
the intercom.
EDI (some static) Lt. Commander I have repaired the
short range radios, you may now talk with the ship and all stations.
Ashley: Thanks EDI.
The camera pans over to show Tali and Adams looking
over the drive core. Donnelly walks over
and hands Tali a data pad. Ashley walks
up behind them.
Ashley: Tali, you have a minute?
Tali: Yes, of course what do you need Ash?
Ashley: I am
sending a team out tomorrow morning to search for supplies and I would like you
to go along. You know what type of food
you and Garrus can eat, and I am sure the Normandy has much less of that type
of food.
Tali: Correct, there is currently enough to keep
Garrus and I alive for three months.
Ashley: Then
let’s hope this planet has both types of food or at least your type. Our food is fully stocked we have six months’
worth.
Tali: I understand, but who is going?
Ashley:
James, Cortez will fly the shuttle, PVT Westbrook, and you, tomorrow
morning at 0600.
Tali: Got it.
Ashley: Ok well, good luck tomorrow and by the way
the short range radios are up and running again.
Tali: Good it
was a pain having to find people to speak with them.
Ashley turns and walks out, Tali returns to the
drive core. The next scene we see Javik
in his room holding his memory shard.
The scene flashes to a scene of two Protheans walking down a long hall
way. In one of the windows the same two
moons that are seen outside the Normandy are visible. Javik awakes, clearly in some pain and deep
reflection.
Javik: EDI!
EDI: Yes Javik, how did you know the radios were up
again?
Javik: The ship told me, I need to speak to Lt.
Commander Williams at once.
EDI: I will informer her to come see you.
Javik: No, I will go to her, where is she?
EDI: In the conference room talking to Private Westbrook.
Javik: Let her know I am on my way.
EDI: Got it, message sent.
The camera follows Javik as he makes his way to the
conference room.
Ashley: What can I do for you Javik? We are pretty busy around here as am I sure
you noticed.
Javik: This planet was once a place my people called
home.
Ashley: How do you know this?
Javik: I
remembered a story told to me as a child, a place with two moons that fit with
each other in the night’s sky. I decide
to check my memory shard and I saw an image of two Protheans walking down a
long hallway with large windows in those windows there was the very two moons
we have in our sky.
Ashley: Do you know where these buildings are? We may be able to use some of the tech, or
supplies there.
Javik: Yes… I believe I can show your team tomorrow
morning.
Ashley: Ok, then 0600 at the docking bay.
Javik: Yes I know.
Ashley: How did you… You know what I don’t want to
know, good luck tomorrow.
Javik walks out and the camera fades out as Ashley
looks over a data pad.
Scene cuts to a dream sequence Shepard is walking in
a bright and green park looking out over the trees as a little blue hand
reaches up and pulls at his pants.
Girl: Daddy… Look I found a rock.
Shepard looks down and see’s the little blue girl
covered in dirt as she has dug a hole into the grass to find her stone.
Shepard: I see can see that, your mother will be
super happy with me that I let you get covered in dirt a full ten minutes into
our outing.
Shepard reaches down and picks up the little girl
and gives her a hug and kiss as Liara walks up to the two.
Liara: I see you two have been having fun.
Girl: Mommy look I found a rock in the dirt, Daddy
helped.
Shepard: Yeah she found a… wait I helped?
Girl: Laughs and runs off to play.
Liara: So you’re helping her ruin the park?
(Reaching over and giving Shepard a kiss)
Shepard: Yeah, she is her mother’s daughter that is
for sure.
Liara: I am
sure… she is more like you then me I am afraid.
Voice: Liara… Liara… Liara we need you on the
bridge. The dream fades into Liara
waking up in her bed clutching the picture of her and Shepard.
Liara: I’m… I’ll be there in a few.
Joker: Ok, Liara sorry for waking you it’s
important.
The scene cuts out as Liara gets out of bed and cuts
back to Earth a meeting is taking place at the bombed out UN building now
controlled by the Alliance. All the
races that were members of the victory fleet are in attendance. A voice comes over the loud speaker asking
everyone to take their seats as the meeting will begin soon. The room once buzzing with noise and voices
falls eerily silent. An elderly man gets
up and walks to the podium, as he does a voice can be heard announcing that he
is the current Supreme Alliance commander General Teague.
Teague:
Ladies, gentlemen, and honored guests; Let me start by saying we have
turned back the Reaper forces and by all accounts they are dead. (The crowd
erupts into applause). However we are
now faced with a serious problem. With
the Sol mass relay is badly damaged the return to your home worlds is in
doubt. I have no illusions that Earth
could support all the races it is not possible, but I think the problem can be
solved. After the first battle of the
Citadel the mass relay that was inside of it was moved to a secure location
here on Earth. Only a hand full of
people even knew of this, this relay was thought only to be art until it was
proved otherwise. As it was not running
at the time of the explosion it was not damaged, and we have since confirmed it
does in fact start up.
The camera pans over the crowd showing everyone
whispering and talking to themselves over the new information. Gen. Teague begins to speak but is cut off by
Wrex.
Wrex: The
Krogan should be the first to use this relay to return to our planet.
Admiral Xen: Wrex know your place, it is not up to
you or the Krogan as to who uses it first.
Teague: Please, let’s not argue over whom will use
the damn relay. Assuming it will work at
all the races that cannot survive on the food here on earth like the Quarians
the Turians will use it first. Our goal
is to return everyone to their respected solar systems, and home planets. However we have one possible problem, if the
damage of the Sol relay was not limited to just our system the other relays
maybe damaged as well. Facts are we
simply do not know the answer to this question, and as such I cannot recommend
using this relay until we know where it will send the persons using it. The relay has been moved to space and is
being brought online as we speak. I
wanted to brief you all in person because without your help Earth would no
longer be here.
The crowd cheers and the mood in the room is
cautious optimism. The camera pans over
the crowd to see Samara and Wrex leaving the room.
Wrex: Going to see Shepard, Justicar?
Samara: Yes Wrex I am, I think he will need our help
again soon.
The camera fades out as the two get into a shuttle
and it takes off. The camera shows a
sleeping Shepard though we do not see his dream it is clear it is a
nightmare. Shepard wakes up abruptly just
before there is a knock on his door.
Shepard: Come in.
Entering the room is Admiral Hackett he is holding a
data pad.
Hackett: Shepard, how are you holding up?
Shepard: I’ve been better Sir; I need to get out of
this hospital.
Hackett:
Understood Captain, I have just the way you can do that.
Shepard: I’m guessing it’s not just a simple walk
out the front door is it?
Hackett: Not
exactly Captain, I want you to take Dr. Messner along with you so he can
observe and continue to working with you.
Shepard: He has to be in his seventies and hardly in
the best shape of his life Sir. I would
prefer to not take him along he would be a liability.
Hackett: Well
the other choice is you stay here until he clears you. I know you don’t like this choice but it is
the only one I can give you right now.
Shepard: If I
say yes when can I leave to find my missing crew?
Hackett: As soon as we can find a ship that isn’t in
need of major repair Captain. I take
that as a yes then?
Shepard: Like you said what choice do I have.
Hackett: Good Shepard, I’ll inform the doctor of
your decision and I’ll start looking for a ship for you. It won’t be the Normandy but I’m not sending
you out there on a cargo ship either.
While you wait take a look over this data pad it contains your mission.
Shepard: Mission? I need to find my crew Sir.
Hackett: Just
look it over you will see this is the only way you can do that. I’ll let you know when your ship is ready.
Hackett hands Shepard the data pad and walks out,
the camera shows Shepard studying the pad as Wrex and Samara walk in.
Wrex: Shepard my friend I see even a giant explosion
can’t take you out. Perhaps you have
part Krogan in you.
Shepard: Wrex, good to see you made it through no
worse off.
Wrex: Yeah I
know wanted a new scar, but who knew the Reapers were push overs.
Samara: How
are you Shepard?
Shepard: I’ve
been better Samara, but thanks for asking and you?
Samara: I am
well; we are here to offer you our help in finding the Normandy if you wish it.
Shepard: Thank you, I will need it I think.
Wrex: No
problem Shepard I need a new fight anyway, and you always have the best enemies
around.
Shepard: Thanks Wrex, I think.
Samara: We
will let you rest; here is where Wrex and I will be, when you need us just come
by. (Hands Shepard a piece of paper)
Shepard: Thank you.
Wrex and Samara shake Shepard’s hand and turn to
walk out the door. As the door closes
behind them the camera fades out to black.
The next scene is of the Normandy landing site, it
is night time and only the two moons can be seen in the night’s sky. The trees sway with the light wind as in the
distance a light can be seen. The light
appears to be moving closer to the Normandy site. The scene next cuts to Joker, Ashley, EDI,
and Liara standing to the bridge of the Normandy.
Joker: What is that light out there?
EDI: It
appears to be coming from a flame of some sort it does not match an
electronically made light source.
Liara: Well what were the odds of us crashing on a
planet with no life on it, considering it’s atmosphere, and distance from its
star?
Ashley: I don’t like it, either way they are clearly
coming toward this ship and we aren’t exactly able to put up a big fight at
this point.
Joker: Great, it’s probably space vampires with
laser shot guns that worship Reapers.
EDI: Jeff I know of no such race in the known solar
systems.
Liara: Perhaps they are friendly, they clearly have
limited technology if they are walking and using flame as a light source.
Joker: Really
Liara? Because up until right now there
have been so many friendly encounters on this mission.
Liara: Well it helps to have hope Joker.
Joker: Yeah hope; let’s hope they just want to
borrow a cup of sugar.
Ashley: We
will know either way soon enough.
The camera slowly moves to the window and focuses on
the light in the distance then fades out.
The scene moves to Shepard walking up to the beam
that led to the Citadel on London, as he walks this time unharmed by
Harbinger’s laser. He slowly turns as he
does so it reveals Anderson behind him, no one else can be seen. As Anderson gets closer to Shepard it is
revealed that Anderson is clearly been indoctrinated as he looks more husk like
now. Shepard wakes up. After waking he sits up the night is over now
and the sun can be seen coming into the room from the window. Shepard gets up and walks to the window
looking at the city. He turns away
toward the room, the camera snaps to a husk like Anderson in his room. It grabs Shepard by the neck and lifts him
off of the ground. Shepard struggles but
cannot break the grasp.
Husk Anderson: (In Harbinger’s voice) you have
changed nothing; we are still your salvation of destruction. We will beat you Shepard, you will know pain.
Shepard: (Gasping for breath) I have beaten you
three times what makes you think I can’t do it again?
Husk Anderson says nothing only throwing Shepard
across the room. The sun can no longer
be seen only the color red. The light
can be seen intensifying until it is so bright only the eyes of the husk can be
seen. The scene goes black, and Shepard
wakes this time to a dark room, but he is no longer on his bed but on the
floor. A nurse rushes in and takes a
look at a room that appears to have been torn apart.
Nurse: What
happened in here, are you ok Captain Shepard?
We heard screams coming from your room.
Shepard: Um, yeah I am fine just a nightmare. I will be fine.
Nurse: Oh, I see I’ll get the doctor.
Shepard: No I don’t need the doctor; it was just a
dream that’s all.
Nurse: Ok
sir, but I have to inform him of what happened here.
Shepard: (Upset, and moving closer to the
nurse. Pointing his finger and raising
his voice) I am not a god damn test subject, prisoner, or an interesting case
study. Remember that! I had a dream people dream all the god damn
time you hear me a DREAM! (Shepard
begins to raise his hand as if to strike the nurse but realizes what he is
doing and stops) I’m… sorry I don’t know why I just did that. I’m sorry.
The nurse is clearly shocked she turns and runs out
of the room, the door locks behind her.
The camera shows Shepard sitting down at the table and putting his head
into his hands.
Shepard (In thought) what is happening to me? How could I have survived the Citadel
explosion? Is this all a dream? Have I been indoctrinated…? (Shepard grabs
his head and clinches his teeth as in pain from the thought of this). I will not be a pawn of the Reapers! (Again
the pain returns, and Shepard grabs his head) I WILL NOT SUBMIT TO YOU! (Said
out loud, Shepard passes out from the pain).
Shepard wakes up again this time head on the table a
small trickle of blood can be seen coming from his nose. He touches his nose to see the blood, Shepard
appears to be in no pain, and now the sun is starting to rise as the room
starts to brighten. There is a knock at
the door and it opens, at the entrance Doctor Messner stands looking at
Shepard.
Shepard: Come in doctor.
Messner:
Shepard, I understand you had an eventful night.
Shepard: You
could say that. Please tell the nurse I
am sorry for losing my cool like that.
Messner: I
will, how are you feeling now?
Shepard: Clear headed, for the first time since the
Citadel I feel clear.
Messner: Is that so, well I hope it continues
then. We will still keep up our chats
for now though.
Shepard: I understand doctor.
Messner: Good
to hear Captain, I’ll convey your apology to the nurse.
Shepard:
Thank you.
Doctor Messner turns and leaves the room this time
the door remains unlocked. The camera
shows a relieved Shepard sitting on the edge of his bed looking out the
window. The scene fades out.
The next cut scene we see Admiral Hackett looking
over some computer screens. He is
talking to a voice on the radio.
Hackett: The
ship needs to be near 100% in readiness or damn close to it.
Voice: That leaves us few options Sir.
Hackett: What
about the SSV Montana?
Voice: Destroyed during the battle.
Hackett: What about the York, Delaware, or Nimitz?
Voice: The
best choice is the York Sir, it would require the least amount of retrofitting
and it was nearly undamaged during the battle.
Hackett: Then that is our ship, see to finding a
crew able to work this ship, remember we want a bare bones crew, they might
find the Normandy’s crew they will need room.
Voice: Yes sir I will see to it.
The scene ends with Adm. Hackett looking over what
appears to be the technical data of the SSV York.
The camera slowly pans over the SSV York revealing
its shape and color. The SSV York is a
smaller version of the SSV Normandy. The
color is a dark blue with white lettering, there are signs it has been in
battle. The camera cuts to the medical
bay were it focuses on a sleeping Rottweiler on the floor. Stepping over the sleeping dog is Lt. Decker
Konya the ships physician. (Born on
Earth in the year 2160 in a small town outside of London, he joined the
Alliance medical corps on May 3rd, 2180 and was stationed on a small planet in
the Terminus systems. Lt. Konya was that
colonies only medical officer and quickly earned the respect of both fellow
soldiers and the colonists. While
stationed on the colony of Keystone he was tested in battle when a group of
slavers attacked. Lt. Konya earned two
medals of valor during the attack for refusing to leave injured soldiers and
civilians despite being wounded by enemy fire.
During the 36 hour attack Lt. Konya was instrumental in saving the
colony and its inhabitants. After the
attack was over Lt. Konya was given a position on the SSV York as the lead
medical officer at his request. He has
served at this post since then and took part in the Victory Fleet’s final
assault to retake Earth. Lt. Konya has
been up for promotion on two occasions but turned one down to stay on the SSV
York, and the other was rescinded after Lt. Konya was caught sneaking a
“mascot” on to the ship. The mascot was
a 6 week old Rottweiler puppy he named Zeus, Zeus has been at his side for the
last six years. Do in large part to his
heroics on Keystone the dog was eventually over looked and allowed to stay on
the SSV York.
Konya: (to the sleeping dog) Really Zeus an entire
room to sleep in you pick right in front of the door.
Messner:
Doctor Konya where will I be staying?
Konya: Call me Lieutenant Konya,
Konya, or Decker you can drop the doctor title.
Messner: Why is that?
Konya:
Because it is annoying… Doctor this… Doctor that… Doctor, save my baby… If
I use the lieutenant ****, people just think I am just another soldier. That way I spend less time answering all the
damn boring medical questions every doctor gets, and more time hitting on the
ladies oh and enjoying a drink.
Messner: Um.
I see Lieutenant Konya. You do not like
being a doctor?
Konya: No I love it being a doctor when I am on the
ship, but off ship no one needs to know. I work 24/7 on this thing so when I am off, I
am off.
Messner: I see, well Admiral Hackett told me to
report I will be going with Captain Shepard on this mission.
Konya: Great whenever
that guy does anything people get shot; things blow up and oh and ships crash.
Messner: Yes, well where will I be staying?
Konya: Well you can’t have Zeus’s room he doesn’t
share well with others so we will have to put you in the XO’s room. He won’t be coming along, seeing how he is
dead.
Messner:
Dead? Did he die during the battle?
Konya: Nope during the celebration, tried drinking a
Quarian beer. That wasn’t pretty, just
got all the vomit and blood cleaned out of the room. Any
way I’ll show you where it is.
The camera follows Lt. Konya and Dr. Messner out of
the medical bay then fades out. The next
scene shows Captain Shepard walking aboard the SSV York, being greeted by a
young eager Sgt. Mark Hill. (Sgt. Mark Hill was born in a small rural town in
south Texas. He is a Texan through and
through from his country draw, to the cowboy hat he wears when not on
duty. Sgt. Hill enlisted with the
Alliance right after the first battle of the Citadel, the minute he turned
18. He is the first person in his family
to go into space, and he is proud of that fact.
Having only served on the SSV York he is eager to see more action, then
the average Alliance soldier).
Hill: Sir, (rendering the hand salute) welcome
aboard the SSV York.
Shepard: Thank you…
Hill: Oh sorry sir, I am Sergeant Mark Hill I am
your cyber warfare technician.
Shepard: Nice to meet you Hill, a CWT… On the
Normandy we had an A… a VI doing that.
Hill: A VI? I
didn’t think they had the computing power to do that type of task.
Shepard: It
had a few upgrades. I see the York is
set up similar to the SSV Normandy.
Hill: Yes sir, the Alliance made two ships in this
class after the Normandy proved herself with the fight against the Geth. There are a few differences however, the ship
is only one half the size of Normandy, and our stealth is not as advanced. The Captains quarters are still on the top,
but sorry no fish tank, I heard you had a nice one on the Normandy.
Shepard: Yeah it was nice to relax near, not that I
had much time to do so.
Hill: Of
course sir, if you need me for anything my station is near your private
terminal at the galaxy map. The rest of
the crew is looking forward to meeting you and getting out mission underway. I believe Dr. Messner is staying in the
former XO’s room if you need him it’s on the third floor.
Shepard: Former XO?
Hill: Yeah well, Doct… I mean Lieutenant Konya can
explain that one, let’s just say he had food poisoning.
Shepard: I see, thank you Sergeant Hill I look
forward to working with you.
Hill:
(rendering the hand salute) Yes sir, thank you.
Hill turns and leaves heading back to his
console. Shepard looks around as the
camera fades out.
The camera fades in on Lt. Commander Williams
putting her armor on along with James.
Javik can be seen looking over his weapon. Joker comes on over the radio system.
Joker: Be careful out there Ash, we don’t know what
that light was other than it is getting closer.
Ashley: Got it Joker, you’re in charge while I am
off ship.
The cargo door opens to reveal a lush jungle like
environment, as it opens Ashley, James, Tali, and Javik can be seen exiting the
ship into the jungle.
Tali: Sure is a pretty planet.
James: Yeah it is, but I have a bad feeling about
walking around out here.
Ashley: Well I don’t want to take the one good
shuttle out if whoever had that flame lit last night is hostile.
Javik: In my time…
James: Ok I am going to say it, stop comparing your
time with ours we get it you were around 50,000 years ago. Listen Javik we are in this together, you
might want to warm up to something.
Javik: What is that human?
James: We are
the only friends you have; we are the ones watching your back.
Ashley: Okay, enough let’s focus on the mission.
The camera follows the squad as they traverse the
jungle floor. Tali is taking scans of
the local plant life, Ashley is scanning the area with her rifle, James is
sitting on a rock looking into the jungle, Javik is watching the others in the
group as he looks over them the scene flashes back to his life before he was
put into his pod. The scene shows a
large city in ruins, Javik is standing next to another Prothean; a Reaper can
be seen far off in the distance.
Javik: How
can we win this war Sean?
Sean: We are
Protheans we don’t lose; we will find a way to beat back the Reapers, and if we
don’t then we will die with honor.
Javik:
Perhaps, but what do you know of this plan to freeze us if we fail?
Sean: Not as
much as I would like to Javik, but if the command thinks it will work then who
are we to disagree. Besides, what could
go wrong? We sleep, wake up and start
anew.
Javik: That
is just it we sleep while our people die.
Sean: Javik I have known you for many years, this
needs to be done my friend, our people need a future.
Javik: Yes of
course, you are a good friend.
The flash back ends and Javik looks off into the
distance. The camera pans over to Tali
who is still taking readings with her Omni tool.
Ashley: You
get what you need Tali? I don’t want to
stay away from the ship for too long.
Tali: Yes, I
think I have enough samples to test and see if any of these plants can be food.
James: Thank
god, this is getting boring at least when Shepard was running the show things
blew up.
Javik: Careful what you wish for, you may get it.
James: Yeah maybe.
Ashley: Okay let’s get back to the ship before it
gets dark. Javik head back now while we
finish up I don’t like leaving the Normandy so short staffed.
Javik: Yes of course I will leave at once Commander.
Javik turns and heads back to the Normandy.
James: What’s
that over there?
Ashley: What do you see?
James: That light is back only it’s over there in
those ruins.
Tali: What ruins?
The camera pulls back to show and some rubble and a
building.
James: Should we go check them out?
Ashley: No, let’s get back to the Normandy I want Javik
with us if we are going to look at and old Prothean building.
The camera follows the squad as they leave the area
and begin heading back to the Normandy.
Before the camera fades out a loud scream can be heard and the team
turns and looks as the scene goes completely black.
The camera shows Joker in his chair on the bridge of
the Normandy, he looks worried. EDI and
Liara are standing next to him.
Joker: Um… what the hell was that?
EDI: It
sounded like a scream of some sort Jeff.
Joker: I know
that EDI, but was it our guys out there?
Liara: It
didn’t sound like that type of scream, have you tried them on the radio.
Joker: Yes
but we lost radio communications with them shortly after they went into the
Jungle. Our radios are still a mess.
Liara: I am
sure they are fine Joker…
Before Liara can finish her sentence a large bang
can be heard and the ship rocks slightly.
The camera pulls back to show a small fire has broken out near the airlock.
Joker:
Someone get the fire out! What
the hell was that noise an explosion? Are we being attacked?
Liara: I’ll
check it out.
EDI: Liara perhaps that is not a good idea in your
condition.
Liara: I’ll
be fine… wait, what did you just say?
EDI: I can
read your bio sensors in your armor Liara, that’s all I’ll say.
Joker: Wait,
what just happened?
Liara:
Nothing Joker, see if Garrus can check out the noise.
Joker: Um, ok (under his breath) you’re a lot closer
but hey.
EDI reaches over and taps Joker giving him a look of
displeasure.
EDI: It’s
better if Garrus goes anyway Jeff he will be able to note any damage. Liara is not as skilled in repairs as he
is.
Joker: Okay, got it Liara is staying and Garrus will
go. No need to hit me EDI.
EDI: Jeff I
merely tapped you.
Liara: I will
go and see if I can help with the radio problem.
Liara turns and walks away the camera followers her
until she passed Garrus running to the bridge as he passes the camera follows him.
Garrus:
What’s going on? I heard
something hit the ship.
Joker: We
were hoping you would check it out for us buddy.
EDI: I will
join you Garrus, but I need to stay close to the Normandy.
Garrus: Okay EDI lets go. Joker, open the airlock.
Joker: Ok,
but be careful out there I don’t like this.
Joker reaches down and pushes a button that releases
the airlock down, as he does a rush of air can be heard entering the ship. As EDI and Garrus begin walking down the
airlock hall another explosion rocks the ship as EDI and Garrus are thrown to
the ground. The scream can be heard
outside the ship yet again as the scene fades to black.
