A/N: Hello, my dear readers. Welcome to the first chapter of Metamorphosis. This is the sequel/chronological prequel to my other series Second In Command, which is at its penultimate chapter as of now. A warm welcome back to my 23 subscribers (if you guys are subscribing to this already) as well as an 'aloha' to you newcomers who didn't know about its existence.
This series, in short, recounts the details and happenings of Miles Colburn's life over the span of twelve years, from 2174 to 2186. This would most probably be longer than SIC and will contain an entirely OC cast, with of course, cameos of Zaeed Massani, Ashley Williams, Kaidan Alenko, Admiral Steven Hackett, Admiral David Anderson, Lieutenant James Vega, as well as Donnell Udina, though definitely not at the same time. As its predecessor, this will be told in the third person respective, with POVs of almost every single character as they are introduced along the way.
That said, I hope you guys will love it better than the first one, and of course, remember to rate, review, and subscribe!
And yes, this is the same guy that appears in iBayne's Galaxy At War: N7. Though as of now, that Colburn is dead... Or dying, if you wanna be optimistic.
Summary: Once believing that his father was innocent, Miles Hutcherson is now on the run from the very same man who wants him dead. But, with the assistance of his mentor, Tantus Bexcal, he begins to prepare to put Systems Alliance Rear Admiral Gregory Hutcherson to justice, experiencing life changing lessons along the way.
Read chapter 11 of Second In Command for the full background of Miles Colburn.

-2174, Citadel-
Miles
It had been a week since he ran away. Miles still didn't know what to make of everything. The first thing the Spectre did was to arrange for the both of them to go to Citadel. You'll be safe over there, he said. Sure, but he didn't say that safety actually meant staying in a small apartment for five days straight. He could feel himself going crazy by the second.
Tantus hadn't visited at all, not even once. All the Turian did was dump the sixteen year old at the apartment and said: "There's food and water here to last you long enough. I'll be back.", before leaving. Miles had found the door locked tight, and that there was no extranet connection at all.
The sudden sound of the door unlocking brought the teenager to his feet. Christ. What do I do know? He grabbed the only decent thing he could find - a vase - and hid behind the couch. Here goes. Miles heard the door open and the dull thud on the carpeted floor indicated a rather heavy individual walking into the apartment. "It's me. Come out."
Thank God. Miles pushed himself onto his feet. "Where the hell have you been, man? You just dumped me here alone! No extranet, no television, no nothing! I am being quarantined over here?", he demanded.
The Spectre merely mused at his reaction. "Relax, kid. I had to settle some things for you. Come on. I gotta take you to a place."
"Finally. I thought you were just gonna lock me up in this place.", he grumbled.
"Trust me, son. There are lots of worst places I can lock you up in."
Miles scoffed. "No kidding."
A/N: Here's a short introduction to the two most important characters as of now. This is short, but don't worry about the length. Future updates are going to be a lot longer. So until then, goodnight, and big balls. :D
Ps: I don't think this is going to be updated soon, so take your time to read SIC and catch up on the story. I'm going to write the last chapter now. If it's completed by the time you read this, please still go write a review/comment, alright? Every single review counts, whenever and wherever.
