CHAPTER 1

8 YEARS

Admiral Anderson slammed down the data pad onto the desk. He couldn't take it any longer. Looking out the balcony of his office room he stared at the massive open city terrain. Much life had been rebuilt within London. It always brought him joy to see on a daily basis when he had gained less than good news. But not today. Nothing had prepared him to hear this kind of news. His hands were behind his back. Taking in a fresh breath of air.

"Damn it" said Anderson

The sounds of doors opened behind him as he didn't even turn around. Closing his eyes he only waited to hear the sounds of neglect. The sounds of waving fault to another.

"I'm sorry Anderson" said Miranda Lawson as she stared away from him

"This isn't on you Miranda, it's on me "he said

"I was supposed to know and-"

"It couldn't be helped at all, knowing that this would happen" he continued

Miranda looked down crossing her arms together. She stood in new Alliance uniform. Given with her new position as an informant.

"Anderson we need Shepard" she said

"I know" he said sadly looking down at his feet

An image of Lucas Shepard and Admiral Anderson along with the rest of the team standing together in a picture showed in his mind.

"Even if he has left all the fighting to us now, would we bring him back into it? "he asked

Miranda looked at him and walked towards him. She stood beside him as the air entered the room. She gazed at the incredible tall view of the newly built city.

"There's only this, he'd come back wanting answers I know it's not what should happen but we have no choice" she said

"We'll have to see what Lucas will say about all this even if he has found peace" said Anderson

"I'll go and tell him" said Miranda

"No, inform the rest to come and well explain to all of them" said Anderson

"Understood Admiral" said Miranda as she walked away heading towards the door

"Miranda "he said aloud

She stopped and looked back to him.

"Don't blame yourself nor hold it in, we need you"said Anderson

"I know, and I will help don't worry" she said as she left the room

Anderson turned around. He gazed at the data pad. He didn't want to look at it again, but he had no choice. Walking slowly towards it he stared. Angered.

"Connect me to Ashely Williams family" said Admiral Anderson as a hologram came to life beside him
