Chapter 1: The Captain and The Quarian

November 17th 2189
Earth, London
Captain of the ANV Mt. Snowdon
Konner Pearson

After the Reaper invasion of 2186, the alliance was also victim to the disorganization of its forces around the galaxy; most of the outer colonies were destroyed or harvested by either the previous Collector forces or just by the Reapers themselves. Some had to deal with Reaper warships falling over after the Crucible beam had destroyed their main circuits in them. Most of the Alliance warships had been disabled in the aftermath of the beam as only AI's were not affected by the blast. The warships had been disabled and left in space with the crew waiting for Quarian ship to pick them up (Quarians fixed their ships the fastest and helped gather the whole Alliance from space as a thank you for helping them retake their planet).

Captain Konner Pearson had been promoted to captain after being the main spearhead for the final assault on Earth by co-coordinating strikes on London to help Hammer Team stay alive on the way down. He sacrificed many ships to stop a Reaper from landing next to Harbinger to assist in the killing of Commander Shepard's squad. He remembers the name Shepard from somewhere but all he knows now is that Shepard is now a hero of the galaxy but is still shunned by the Alliance for working with a terrorist organization Cerberus, Konner should be killed for what he did for Cerberus but he will never let that secret get out about his past life. Konner now has been in command of the Snowdon for 2 years and has had many successful missions including stopping a Turian revolt on the Hierarchy in 2188 and saving the SSV Normandy from Asari pirates in 2187. He is the third most decorated Human. Falling behind Admiral Hackett and Admiral Anderson.

In London, Konner and his girlfriend were in a restaurant, having a good time while they were on shore leave for a few weeks enjoying their last dinner just before they would head out for some alone time around the city "So you lived up on the Idenna hmm? Wasn't that the ship who got attacked by Cerberus trying to find this Biotic Woman?" Konner asked to his girlfriend Yani'Raan vas Mt. Snowdon nar Idenna.

"Yeah that event was the reason I kinda got kicked out of the crew of that ship, half of my friends got killed while Cerberus was destroying the ship"

Immediately regretting saying anything about it, he replied "Oh Shi-, didn't know you had old wounds like that Yani, I never bring it up again"

"It's ok, you didn't know, just don t bring it up again please, these wounds haven t healed and I don't want to reopen them again, that day was just t-terrible..." she broke down sobbing with her head in her arms, trying to look away from Konner.

"Who said I liked that day? Hmmm? I've hated Cerberus ever since they were deemed a terror organization, Look you are in a fancy restaurant with a human boyfriend, I should be a god in your eyes" He pulled her arms down from her head and stared into those shining globes that were her eyes with a smile on his face, then getting up, taking Yani's hand and leading her out of the restaurant. "So. Where or what do you want to do next love?"

She had a renewed bounce in her step "Why don t we go down and see what's new in the tech industry, you need to upgrade your Omni-tool, you haven't since our last shore-leave 5 months ago and also a certain Quarian needs to keep you with her tech or she might become useless" she said with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"You'll never become useless to me" he said and whirled Yani into a hug and tapped his forehead against his own.

"I'll never forget that Konner"

They went into the tech shop and saw a Turian clerk waiting at the counter and rustling around said counter, presumably taking stock for the night cycle of Earth, Yani went off to update their Omni-tools and Konner went off to see what mods there were for his N7 Piranha. Ammo upgrade? Nah. Piercing mod?. No. Fire Ammo. . .? Hell no! AH ha! Accuracy mod ho! He picked up the mod and some ammo pouches for his gear and went to the counter to get his stuff checked out, while he was doing this, Yani walked up behind him and laid down to silver bracelets (which were the Omni-tools) and laid some other parts down as well that she was probably getting for the ship, the courier scanned Konner ' items and was about to harass Yani about being a Suit rat and other business. Ugh, did he hate these jackasses who can't leave them alone and let them go about their own business.

"Hey you!" Yani looked to see who had said that behind her but saw no-one "Hey Quarian, you blind or something?" She looked back to see a disgruntled Turian looking her eye-to-eye "You sure you even got enough credits to buy this kinda stuff huh?" he said in a mocking tone, not expecting anything from the female Quarian.

"Actually I do" she said back with a smile.

"Well then, all of this will be 78001 Credits" He replied back with a smirk of his own.

"Wait all of this adds up to 42010 Credits and I ve got proof of the calculation right here"

"Nope either take it or leave it Quarian"

At this point Konner about had enough of the racist idiot and decided to intervene before overloads and drones started to fly about "I'm sorry, but aren't you being a bit rude here to this Quarian sir?" he asked calmly and before his temper started to rise.

"No, just doing business with someone who won't accept the price laid out to her"

Yani started to catch on to what Konner was about to do and played along "He is cheating on me!" She pointed accusatory finger at the Turian "He increasing the price just because I'm Quarian" She blurted out.

"Is this so?" he put his hand on his chin in deep thought "Well this is Earth and now that the Quarians are a council race, I should have you arrested on grounds of racism" he pondered even more "I'll give you one last chance, give her the items at the right price and you won't have a 24 gauge slug going so far up your rear, you'll be tasting the bullet yourself" He unlatched his Piranha to prove the threat was a worthy and kept it aiming at the floor with a trigger finger of his.

"Fuck you, Human" The Turian was enraged and pulled out his own sidearm, the N7 eagle

Konner saw the gun 'Wait. Aren't they only suppose to be with N7 operative only?' he thought but still as the Turian was readying his pistol, Konner pulled his shotgun with one hand and had his shotgun pointed slap bang middle of the Turian's bare face.

"You wouldn't dare" His gruff voice coming through the end of the barrel "You'll blow your own arm off with the shot!"

"How much are you willing to bet on that, skull face?" He turned his head to Yani and asked "Yani, pass me one of my armor piercing drums please" Yani searched through the pouches on his back and found the one he was looking for and passed it to him, with that he loaded the shells and pointed his gun back at the Turian "So do... or die"

The Turian looked perplexed at the sight of something "You know him Quarian?"

"Yes I do. He is Captain Konner Pearson of the ANV Mt. Snowdon, I'm Yani'Raan, his girlfriend" she stated as she was proud of this title.

"Woah, backpedal. The Captain Pearson?!" He said in a mixture of shock and dismay and lowered his weapon away from Konner "I am so sorry, here take this stuff for free for me wasting your time" he motioned at the stuff lying on the counter.

Konner didn't lower his shotgun but swung the barrel at the Turian's face which made a dent in his skull and growled at him "I want to never hear you be prejudice to Quarians again! You're lucky I'm not pulling your ass in for racism, now give me that Eagle and we will be on our way" The Turian reluctantly gave Konner the pistol and the Human and Quarian pair walked out together.

When they got out of the high street Konner turned around and stopped Yani for a moment, he took one of her turquoise arms in his hand and said to her "Do you know what day it is today?"

"No I don't love, what am I forgetting about this day?" Konner laughed at the answer "What? If it's so important, do tell"

Konner traced one finger up her suited arm and pushed her chin up so her eyes met his "It's the one year anniversary of me and you being together" he said with a smile spreading across his face "Anyway, here you present" He pulled the N7 Eagle off side and handed it to her "I've put a power amplifier in to it and added a barrel to it to pack more punch each time you shoot. Count on it to kill anyone who tries to get us"

Yani started to bounce on her toes and while she thanked him and said "Awww thank you Konner. You're too sweet. I'll have to repay you sometime soon" she. Grasped him in a bear hug and Konner accepted the embrace.

"Look, you don't owe me anything, you already have paid for being such a wonderful woman, now let's get back to the ship before I have Hackett complaining at me for staying out too long"
