Hey all, this is my first story uploaded here (Please be gentle!) feedback is always welcome.

Bioware owns the characters, universe and all of the cool stuff of Mass Effect, I'm just borrowing them for a bit,

Forgotten Legacy

Prologue

Sitting in a chair, that's how most 'good' stories start. This is no different.

Sitting in a chair, tied down, that's my own fault, got careless and got caught, they come for me in the night, came heavy, I didn't stand a chance. I wont make that mistake again.

So here I am.

They keep asking questions I don't know the answers to, questions I wouldn't answer even if I could. They don't like that. They're going to start torture soon, I can feel it.

AAAAHHHHH!

My screams encourage them, music to their ears and their the conductor, again and again. They're holding what must be fresh heatsinks to my flesh, searing and cauterising so there is no mess, no evidence.

They're getting restless, That's never good.

Oh FUCK NO!

They're going to press the red hot heatsink into my eye, I like my eyes.

AAARRRRGGGHHH!

My cries of agony rise to a crescendo.

Blood, tears, sweat and the melted jelly from my eyeball run down my face, my denials infuriate them.

They're not pushing it fully in, so it doesn't kill the nerve, so i feel it, every agonising inch. For that they will die. Slowly. Painfully. Exactly like what they're doing to me. Yeah. They'll get what's coming to them. I'll make sure of it. If its the last thing I do, the bitch will die. Miranda, thats what the other one called her, Operative Lawson.

I will bring her world crashing down around her, and ill make her watch. Keep thinking that, don't let the pain in. Never let them break you.

She's twisting it now, effectively gouging the eye out.

And she's leaving it there. Slowly burning away.

It's cooling now but the pain isn't.

I'm shaking, my wrists and ankle's straining at the bonds, tearing into my skin, probably not helping but that's not important now, the pain is...pain...Cling to what you know. My pain is in my mind. Don't think about it and it's not there.

The only thing I have is my name.

Lt. Commander Aiden Hunter.

I'll Survive, it's what I do.
