The Reapers, highly advanced machine race of synthetic/organic starships who every 50,000 years return from darkspace to wipe out all organic life in the galaxy has returned. On the Asari home world of Thessia the Reapers have invaded and this, is where our journey begins.
Chapter 1: Crash Landing
Planet: Thessia
Above the darkened sky of the Asari home world an anomaly occurs. A large disk begins to form, engulfing a small portion of the sky which then creates an array of black and purple colors. Moments later an object bursts through the disk at an incredible speed and was now descending to the Asari city below in a diagonal free fall.
Commander Shepard the hero of Elysium, savior of the Citadel and the only hope for the Galaxy against the Reaper threat has just punched through the onslaught of Reaper forces to reach the temple of Athame along with his squad Javik, the last Prothean and Liara T'Soni, other wise known as the 'Shadow Broker' "Looks like were in the clear. Lets get inside." Shepard said approaching the entrance of the temple but came to a halt as the temple's shielding blocked the entrance "It appears the temple has been barricaded." Javik said stating the obvious, Shepard saw a panel for him to bypass the shields but was interrupted by Liara "Let me take a look." butting in Shepard's way and was now bypassing the barrier control "It's military grade encryption. I think I can overide it." she claimed "Do religion and military always mix among Asari ?" Javik asked Liara "No. This is unusual. Especially since few still follow the Athame doctrine." Liara continues to bypass the barrier while Shepard turned to look up into the sky and that's when he saw It.
Just a KM away an object at accelerating speeds was on a straight path towards the trio his eyes widened "Everyone move !" Shepard turned back to Liara grabbing her arm then running to the side avoiding the objects trajectory while Javik, already at a safe distance from the falling object was now taking cover. The object came closer and closer and then 'impact' a burst of shock waves equivalent to a small tremor erupted from the object's crash against the hard metal surface of the temple grounds, the object then slid out of control hitting against the barrier control which apparently took down the barricade and then slipped into the temple. "You two alright ? Liara. Javik !" Shepard asked "Do not worry Commander. For we are safe." Javik said as the three stood up from their covering positions "What was that ?" Liara said "Never got a good look at it. But what ever it is were about to find out." Shepard said now arming his M-8 Avenger as they entered the temple.
