Ugly Shepard was excited.

While he was on Illium, he had overheard an advertisement: The Biotic God was doing a show!
As a kid, The Biotic God was Ugly Shepard's favourite show. The Biotic God himself was a tall, strong Volus with biotic powers and a hatred of evil. He had a faithful Asari sidekick, Eezo Girl, who always helped him save the day! The Biotic God inspired Ugly Shepard to become an Adept in the first place, and he was not about to let a chance like this slip. He went straight to the ticket booth.

But they were all sold out!
Ugly Shepard was crushed. He offered the agent various favours in return for a ticket, but she wouldn't budge.

PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE?



She said she didn't have any tickets, but she offered to pay for a cab that would take him to a reputable scalper, and subsequently get his Ugly Face out of her Amazingly Sculpted Asari Face.


That was good enough for Ugly Shepard.
The scalper had a nice office. Ugly Shepard got right down to business: he wanted tickets and he wanted them now.


Um, yeah, she had just sold the last ticket like one minute ago. No more in stock. Sorry.

Ugly Shepard didn't even care about tickets anymore. He just wanted to be in the same area as his childhood heros.
And so they arrived at the venue.

The crowd was amazing! He saw some people dressed up as The Biotic God,and he got pretty excited.

Despite his troubles with the scalper, he wasn't about to let a lack of tickets keep him from his hero. He spotted a back door.

He managed to sneak in, and it was off to the dressing rooms! He couldn't wait to meet Biotic God and Eezo Girl. Maybe they'll even join his team!
He snuck through the hallways. The show hadn't started yet. Hopefully, his heros were in their respective dressing rooms. At last he found a sign marked Eezo Girl, next to a heavy door that was slightly ajar. He peeked through the crack.

There she was! But wait, something was happening! An assassination attempt, perhaps!

He burst in to rescue her. But before he could...





Eezo Girl was annoyed.

Her prop girl had made the stock of her prop gun too big, and she had to teach her a lesson. Now there was this ugly...THING in her private dressing room singing praises about thwarting an assassination attempt.
Ugly Shepard saw his chance. With only a minimum of stammering and sweating, he asked her to join his team.


Eezo Girl hesitated. This guy was really ugly. But...here was her chance to finally lose that druggie "Biotic God" Volus. She had to work with that guy for over 30 years. Sure, he started out just fine, but the stresses of fame had driven him to all sorts of substance abuse. She was tired of his behaviour, and wanted to strike out on her own, but her contract stipulated that they had to be together at all times.
Maybe if he were taken out of the picture somehow...hmm. She knew he was high right now, and shocks to his system at this point could be deadly. This ugly fellow could prove useful.

No, she said. But The Biotic God might! She gave Ugly Shepard directions to his dressing room.
Ugly Shepard hurried away. Eezo Girl might not be able to join his team, but The Biotic God? He LOVED to fight. Ugly Shepard KNEW he would say yes.
He came to a junction by a vending machine. A short, very un-muscular Volus was making a purchase. Ugly Shepard asked for directions.

The Volus's voice sounded very familiar.

It couldn't be.

It was.

The Biotic God.

Well, this was a disappointment.

Even though he didn't look like the Volus he used to, he was still The Biotic God, darnit! He asked him about joining his team.
The Biotic God was glad to see them. He had a displeased drug dealer hounding him, and he didn't want to face her alone.
The shockingly ugly one looked easy to convince. He said that yes, he would join his team, but he needed help fighting off a thresher maw in the next room.

Ugly Shepard didn't like the sound of that!

Finally, he had a chance to work with The Biotic God, the most powerful biotic ever! They charged into the next room...

...where a drug dealer awaited them.

Wow. It seemed to Ugly Shepard that he ran into these drug-dealing types at ever turn.
Emboldened by Ugly Shepards presence, The Biotic God hurled a bolt meant to wipe her out.


But in his drug-addled state, he couldn't even wipe out a credit chit.

It was a miracle he was even standing on two feet.


That blast knocked him out cold. Ugly Shepard was sad. Not only had The Biotic God lied about the thresher maw, but he couldn't even stand up to a simple blast.
However, Eezo Girl came running into the room. She gasped and crouched over The Biotic God's body, seemingly trying to rescue him. Ugly Shepard didn't think that the proper way to rescue a Volus was to pinch their air lines shut. But she WAS Eezo Girl. She rescued people every day. She knew what she was doing.
After a while, Eezo Girl rose. She said that The Biotic God was going to be just fine, and that an ambulance would arrive shortly to pick him up. Ugly Shepard offered to call the police about that mean old drug dealer, but Eezo Girl said, no, really, he was going to be fine, and that they should get out of there quickly before anybody else showed up. She even offered to join his team if he just kept his mouth shut.
Ugly Shepard accepted her offer.
