Hello there. I'm making a new story here today:P. work on my other two has been very slow. Those of you who care, I have the next chapter of the tale of the fox and the angel written, just need to run spell checks and what not. But nearly all my drive for writing flew out the window when the disc that had all my chapters for the other story I've been working on got messed up by cleaning fluids (my fault). I'm re writing it now and have up to 5 chapters but it's just not as good as the first I had and it irks me to no end it's as if the cosmos are against me writing shit keeps happening, my laptops been taken away and later broken and now the cd gets destroyed. I'm still working on it but I have no idea how long it will take before I finish. I've decided to throw this idea I had in my head for the past few months. A Naruto x mass effect x eve online cross over. I doubt it will be very long. 6-12 chapters maybe? I'm just hoping that by doing this I can get back into my other story. This one will be different from other mass effect crossovers. First off, for the sake of the story, and to tie in a little bit of eve online, the year the story takes place is much, much, MUCH later. Mass effect takes place in the year 2000 something (haven't found the exact date) in this story it takes place in 9000 -10000. Naruto will NOT be a ninja they will not exist I want to run away from that old "oh the commander finds a planet with humans with crazy powers" angle. Instead he'll be from one of the factions from eve online. Their really won't be much from the eve online other than technologies and even then that will be a lot later in the story. I'm thinking about pairing him with Miranda but I'll have to wait and see how well I can develop their relationship first, I'm trying to stop the "falling in love without much background" thing. Enough of my rambling. Let's get on with the story.

YEAR: 2086

Earth, the home planet of humanity. An ambitious, and curious race, humans had taxed the land of their home planet, forcing them to build colonies on the moon, and later, orbital stations. At a population of 14.5 billion, it became obvious that resources were going to run out and fast, Something had to be done. The humans launched an aggressive space exploration program, intent on finding resources on other planets and Celestial bodies such as comets. The resources that were found were enough to last for at least another 200 years, more than enough time for their scientists to devise new ways to sustain themselves. In the meantime, colonization of the planet mars took place.

YEAR: 2240

A discovery of untold importance. Scientists stumbled upon an anomaly in space, initially thought to be a massive black hole, further observation concluded that it wasn't. 2 years of study revealed that it was a "hole" through space and it may be possible to "jump" through to another solar system. No one knew how this anomaly came to be, but it became the topic of much discussion. A year later, a small expiation we sent into the hole in space, now called a wormhole, to see what there was to find. To the amazement of the explorers, they found themselves in a whole new galaxy. The system where the wormhole led to was full of resource rich planets. This sparked off a mass exodus, the human population now numbered at 50 billion, and with only 2 habitable planets in the solar system, it became too crowded. But in this new galaxy, dubbed New Eden, and more specifically the system, dubbed Jita, there were as many as 4 habitable planets. The government of the humans encouraged the move to this new system. After all, workers were needed to extract the bountiful resources in this new system and explore.

Year: 2280

The past 40 years were very productive. The discovery of the wormhole led to a golden age where humans thrived. The threat of starvation and disease were gone, all thanks to the discoveries made in New Eden. Massive amounts of resources and new unknown materials were exported back to the solar system. Currently much debate was being made about a new discovery, a massive structure found in Jita. It was severely damage and inoperable however studies point to the structure being part of a vast network of similar structures. However their exact purpose would require more study.

Year: 2320

Disaster. The wormhole that connected the two galaxies collapsed, trapping billions of people in New Eden and cutting the people in the solar system off from resources. Scientists don't understand what happened. This was truly a blow to humanity. Many of humanities brightest minds were now trapped in another galaxy, key scientists that held research and theories on future technologies as well as nearly all top engineers who design and build based off researchers' discoveries. It was a simple matter of logistics. Why have your researchers in the home system, which no longer had anything worth studying? Transport was still rather inefficient. It would take 2 years to get to the wormhole from the nearest human colony in the solar system, to get to the nearest colony in new Eden would take yet another 2 years, four years of transit to send research materials back to home wasn't efficient at all. So humanity moved nearly all their scientists to new Eden. They tried fruitlessly to get back in contact with each other. They had made a grave error in judgment. Thinking the wormhole would always be there, they never bothered to find out where exactly in the universe new Eden was, without that information, they didn't even have an idea where to start. After years of attempting to contact, they gave up. The humans in the solar system could only hope that their brothers and sisters could find a good life new Eden. With a massive chunk of the population gone, and the vast amount of resources imported from new Eden, the humans of the solar system could live contently for several hundreds of years. However, their technology would remain stagnant for millennia.

Year: 10200

The tragedy of losing more than half of their population was something few ever thought about, The humans of the solar system had moved on. Careful use of their resources, more thorough surveying (they found more resources) of their home system, and careful watch over their population growth allowed humanity to continue living for millennia. However advances in technology had been painstakingly slow, their technology had only advanced a thousand years since the wormhole collapse, this could be attributed to the fact that they held so much research materials and personnel trapped in new Eden. They at one point even slipped back technologically wise a little bit. It was understandable. The funny thing about technology and science is that it is cumulative, a discovery is made in one generation, and taught to the new, the new generation then improve on the old, this happens non-stop. However, the old generation as well as the bulk of the new generation was trapped in new eden, leaving the still inexperienced, and unenlightened scientists to start over from tech that was more advance that 21st century tech, but not as advanced as tech back when the wormhole was active. However, they were about to break from this technological stagnancy, a breaking discovery was made, An artifact found on mars. Through this artifact, they advanced their technology by a few thousand years, soon after they found another artifact, this time in deep space, This artifact would later be know as a mass relay. The researchers were pleased to see that the structure was perfectly intact and even got it functioning properly. They discovered that it was capable of sending them elsewhere in the galaxy. Seeing an opportunity to expand, they sent explorers and researchers to the new system and found yet another mass relay which they quickly reactivated to continue exploring. This continued for several years.

Year: 10300

The first contact. Driven by immense curiosity, humanity began reactivating any mass relay they could find. However, this caught the attention of someone else, The Turians. This race was alien to humanity and they had never encountered them before. Upon seeing the humans trying to reactive the mass relay, the turians opened fire, destroying all but one of the exploration vessels who warned the rest of the human alliance. A retaliatory force was quickly formed and defeated the turians patrol. This act escalated into full blown war that lasted 3 short months. The turians attacked a human occupied planet and captured it, believing they had destroyed the bulk of the human forces, they were then taken by surprise when the humans later returned in force and evicted them from the planet. Before things could escalate further, the Cidital council intervened to negotiate peace and end the war. It was from the council the humans learned that there are many other sentient races that co-exist peacefully. Many see the humans as the aggressors in that war and had a low opinion of them. However, the council saw potential in the humans. humanity, had beaten the highly disciplined turian fleet, that was no small feat, add their novel tactics and technology it was entirely understandable.

YEAR: 10380

The first ever human Specter was designated. Commander john Shepard was given the honor, after uncovering a plot by another Specter. John Shepard would go on to stop the destruction of the Citadel and save the council. He became a hero, an icon, a symbol for everything humanity stood for. However despite his valiant efforts, his request to look further into the ones who threatened the Citadel, the reapers, was denied. He was instead sent on missions patrolling the terminus systems for geth who the council believed were the real culprits behind the attack.

Year: 10381

On a routine patrol, Commander Shepherd and his crew were ambushed by an unknown vessel. He died saving his pilot….

YEAR: 10383

John Shepherd is bought back to life by the pro-human organization called Cerberus. Now "working" for Cerberus, Commander Shepherd goes off to search for leads on the reapers…

A/N AND CUT! That's the first chapter. The retarded time frame was put in there to allow some history to build in the eve online side of the fic, basically, for those of you who don't know about eve online lore, a ton of stuff happened I mean a TON I wanted to ensure that at least SOME of it gets incorporated into the story even if it's just Naruto retelling what happened. Anyone who is interested in eve online hit me up I'll send an invite to you that will give you an extended trail run. Awesome game, altho players can be painfully brutal. *thinks about a 50 man fleet that warped in on him when we was mining asteroids and killed him*

This story won't have much in the way of chapters, honestly there are a lot of other authors who could probly do a better job at this fic then I could. And I'm only really using this in hopes of being able to rebound back into story writing. We'll just have to see how far I'll take this lol.
