"So what did cause these burn marks?" Shepard questioned the C-sec officer. "And what does C-sec have to do with this?" She asked again.

"Two C-Sec officers have been missing for two weeks. We found them here at the camp site. According to them Cerberus kidnapped them and they got saved by something. It moved so fast they didn't get a glimpse" The officer answered her with a shrug.

Shepard looked around. "Why the middle of a forest?" she mumbled looking around.

"Beats me. All I know is whatever that thing was it's a bloody hero for stopping those guys breathing" The officer went away to get more statements.

Shepard was never usually called in on missions like these but this had Cerberus involved so she had to go and check it out. Shepard looked on the ground and saw the black burn marks that led like a trail. "Could a biotic do this?" She picked up a little piece of dirt examining it.

"No biotic I've ever heard of" A man said overhearing her.

Shepard followed the trail into the woods a little more. It was burning out and something else replaced it. Blood. This thing was either injured or it took blood with it when it ran away from the two C-Sec officers after saving them. She looked at it and grabbed a sample with her omni-tool and sent the results back to the Normandy. She kept going and heard something lightly breathing, Shepard grabbed her sidearm and loaded it.

The breathing ceased and she looked around. Nothing, damn! Shepard placed the gun away turning back. "Commander!" The Officer cried out getting her attention.

"What is it?" Shepard said determined to find what caused all this.

"I'm not exactly sure. It looks like a recording of when the 'Wolf' attacked" The officer tensed a little.

"Wolf?" She questioned.

"A nickname everyone is giving it. Here you better take a look" He held the datapad out.

Play last recording Y/N

She pressed yes on the pad and it played.

Recording playing

"Where is the location of the scientists base?" A man in armor asked.

"Fuck you!" The C-Sec officer, a turian said.

He and a Salarian were tied on the ground. For his answer he received a kick to the stomach and a few punches along his body which was bloody as it was.

"I'll ask you one last time before I kill you. Three..two-" they got cut off as something blurred past knocking him to the forest ground leaving burn marks.

His buddy wasn't so lucky something wrapped around his neck and pulled choking him and he fell being pulled to whatever was on the other end of the rope. A gunshot could be heard as both Cebererous operatives died painfully. The Turian sat up helping his Salarian buddy.

"What the hell was that?" He demanded.

A dark figure dropped out of the trees and made it's way towards the Cerberus soldiers. It pulled off their weapons and comms chucked them towards the two C-Sec, grabbed a rope that was nearby and disappeared with a familiar blue aura of a biotic glowing around them.

"Who the hell was that?" He rephrased his question.

Shepard turned it off. "That was helpful" She said.

"Well we know they're a biotic. Question is why take only the rope?" The C-Sec officer said.

"I have no clue I am going to head back to the Normandy for results. I want you to see if anyone has gone missing in these woods and was never found. Send them to me when you got something" she ordered before leaving.

When she was back on the Normandy she headed towards the medical bay. Dr Chakwas had already checked the blood sample and the result was wierd, "It's human from what I can tell. It doesn't have most medical vaccines in it that normally people would have though."

"So you're saying it's someone who could have lost years ago?" Shepard offered.

"To survive that long out their they would have to be incredibly resourceful" Chakwas wandered off into her own world.

Shepard however received an email with two possible candidates and was left to sort through them.

"They disappeared a year apart" she noticed.

::"Commander?":: a voice said on her Omni-tool.

"What is it?" she asked.

::"We've found something. We don't know what it is. You may want to come take a look at it"::

Shepard sighed and stood up she walked straight into Liara. "Shepard is there something wrong?" the young Asari asked.

"You have biotics right?" Shepard asked stupidly remembering she was an Asari so of course she did. "I need you advice on something that is believed to have them planetside. The problem is we don't know what it is or how powerful they are"

Liara nodded. "I shall get my armor" she said.

"No we are going without guns blazing this time Liara" Shepard informed.

Liara nodded and headed away. 'Whatever that thing down there was, it had better not be Cerberus' Shepard said as she climbed into the Mako once again. Liara questioned her on everything they already knew down below. "The figure killed two agents and took off with a piece of rope in exchange for saving two lives?" She asked curiously.

"And didn't bother stopping and helping them when they were tied up on the ground. It was dark so there wasn't the clearest image of it. Whatever it was, it didn't have a reason to interfere it just did" Shepard informed as they landed.

Climbing out the C-Sec officer Shepard had spoken to before was waiting on the two. "This way. We honest to god have no clue how it got here or what's in it" He informed them leading them into a small group of people crowding around a tree.

"What's going on here?" Liara demanded. The officer pointed up.

"You've got to be kidding. It looks like a treehouse" Shepard said bluntly.

"No one knows what it's doing here. And look on the branches burn marks" The officer blundered on.

Shepard grabbed a branch and heaved herself up, she jumped from branch to branch getting closer to the top. She looked around for a door. "Who builds a treehouse and has no door?" she muttered quietly.

Shepard felt around the wooden tree house she pushed on what had been covered in cloth and her hand fell through. "I found a way in" she called out down below.

Liara started climbing up, Shepard climbed in through the hole and removed the cloth so Liara could see a way in. She dusted her hands off and looked around the place was filled with camping gear. She heard a small whimpering thinking it was the wind she kept searching. There was a small teddy bear on the ground with a ribbon on it. The whimpering came again. Shepard turned.

A girl was on a low stretcher "..please...'' The girl begged.
