Hello people. Anyway, I've been having this idea for Shepard's whole return and such, etc like everyone else lololol. Anyway, this here is the first chapter and I can't really think of anything, but some stuff about Grammar mistakes and etc. would be nice, anyway enjoy the first chapter I guess.

CHAPTER 1: A Chance

Eternity.

At least that's what it had felt like. My name is Adrian Shepard, and I am a corporal for US Marines… At least I used to be.

It had been a top-priority mission, go to the research facility called Black Mesa and contain and neutralize the alien threat… And any witnesses as well. Soon enough I was involved in something bigger then I would of realized and I was captured by a ghastly-pale man in a blue suit, and he had left me in this V22-Osprey, just floating in space, the words he said to me echoed in my head.

"While I believe a civil servant like yourself understands the importance of... discretion, my employers are not quite so trusting, and rather than continually subject you to the irresistible human temptation of telling all, we have decided to... convey you somewhere you can do no possible harm, and where no harm can come to you. I'm sure you can imagine there are worse alternatives."

He had then disappeared forever, through a green orb, as I floated through this dark, endless space, as a prisoner no less. I had thought all hope of ever leaving this place was gone… That's when I heard his voice again, and I remembered it well, as it was the last voice I had heard.

"Corporal Shepard…." The voice said with a dragging tone.

I reacted quickly, turned and faced the pale man and tried to punch him with all the strength I had in me, but to no avail, as it didn't affect him at all. He just stared at me with a devilish grin on his face.

"Maybe, I can just forget about giving you a way out of here,". I froze, he just said he was going to let me go, and the hope suddenly came back to me.

"What do you mean?" I asked, surprised by my voice, it had been a long time since I've heard it.

"I've managed to convince my employers," he smirked. "To give you a job…"

A job? What the hell did he mean by that? Well, I guessed anything was better then here…

"What kind of job?"

"Oh you'll see…" the blue-suited man said, and I swear I could hear him laughing under his breath, and then everything went black.

Prepare for some epic journey stuff coming next chapter, well maybe not, but expect some badassness if things go as planned. And since your at the bottom of this I'm not going to bother saying the "Read" part.

So start the reviewing!
