Ok guys this is the first chapter to an epic story which will e epic and amazing and all that stuff!

On a serious note this is my first (ish) chapter so i thought that i would go with a short one just so i can get the feel of it. Reviews are welcome and the next chapter will be longer with more stuff in it. Also I need a quarian name because i couldn't think of one for the main character so any ideas just PM me.

Without further ado here is the first chapter in A Quarian Life.

Enjoy!


The Migrant fleet is the biggest fleet in known space. Fifty thousand ships in total all of them carrying the last of the Quarians, who the Geth have kicked off their home world and made them condemned by the rest of the galaxy to travel among the stars until they run out of food and resources to continue to travel and then slowly die. If you think I that this is a totally bleak and hopeless future for a race which could not have done anything to deserve this then you are mostly right.

In this story I will be following a young Quarian who has set off on his pilgrimage which is a rite of passage to see if someone is capable of getting something which will help the fleet. help the fleet. This young Quarians name is ************* and will be the main character of this story.


I was deep in thought as I slowly walked down the hallway of the ship ******* which I have spent the majority of my life on. So many question where running through my head such as 'Where will I go' and 'What should I look for'. All of these seemed to have no answer as they went round my head over and over.

I moaned when I thought this which attracted a few weird glances from the few people within hearing distance. 'Oh great just what I needed' I thought 'Now people think I am crazy as well as half of the ship's crew thinking that I will fail my pilgrimage' .

I was so busy with my inner thoughts that I did not notice a pair of Quarians standing still and talking to each other.

"Look out where you are walking Bosh'tet" the taller one exclaimed angrily.

"It doesn't matter Fin just let it go" Said the smaller one trying to calm down Fin.

"Yes it does, this idiot just walked into me." Fin said while walking up to me.

"Wait calm down I am sorry for walking into you." I apologized while slightly taken aback about how close the male Quarian fin has gotten to me "How come I have never seen you before?"

"Because he just transferred over to this ship for" Explained the female Quarian.

"I got in fight which this one guy and he ended up in hospital for 5 weeks" Said Fin who butted in front of the female Quarian.

"Oh ok that makes sense. Anyway what are your names?" I asked.

"Why do you want to know?" Fin questioned.

"As we are going to live on the same ship for the foreseeable future I like to know every ones names" I countered.

"Just ignore him he is an ass sometimes. My name is Tali'Zorah nar Rayya and this is Fin'Gerrel nar Moreh but I suppose it is Rayya for him now." Tali explained.

"Well Fin I suggest that you keep that attitude to yourself from now on." I advised "If you treat everyone like that then we will have a problem".

"Oh and what are you going to do about it?" Fin threatened.

"Nothing but I am sure other people will do something" I said as I walked off.

"Good job Fin it has only been 10 minutes and you have already gotten in an argument with ************." Complained Tali "You really need to work on how you manage your anger".

I sighed in annoyance as I continued to walk down the hallway towards the eating area of the ship and continued to think about my pilgrimage.
