Authors Note: I will try to stay as close to Halo /Mass Effect canon as possible but keep in mind Enigma is not your average reaper. Also please read Mass Effect: The reaper Enigma, before starting this one.

In the vastness of space, there shone may stars. One star that was not there before suddenly shone with a luminescent orange. It rapidly expanded vertically into a glowing disk 4 kilometers in diameter. Out of the portal flew three 1.75 kilometer collector cruisers armed for war, followed by four white reaper destroyers, and finally the 2 kilometer form of the white sovereign class reaper known as Enigma.

The race of twenty-three trillion minds that made up Enigma's consciousness all pondered the question his allies and partners were no doubt asking themselves: Where are we? The reaper examined numerous constellations and stellar bodies. Enigma was finally able to orient themselves. They were in the same galaxy as far as they could tell but with a fundamental difference: no mass relays. This was both a comforting and disturbing fact to the reapers and their allies. While this meant there were not any reapers here, it also alluded to numerous uncertainties.

Enigma directed his allies to move in the direction of what would be the nearest habitable planet. The small fleet entered FTL.

In their galaxy the planet they were headed towards was known as Thessia, the asari homeworld, but in this universe it was called by the humans, Harvest.
