Chapter 1: The Start Of An Awesome Adventure With Convos

"I won't lie to you crew, this road will be a hard one. We will make sacrifices. But I assure you...Eden Prime will not happen again. We will stop him. We will kick his ass so fricking high, that he'll become the Arterius Comet. That's all crew." Said Shepard over the inter-com.

I liked that speech. Different from the game, but more motivating never-thrless. We recruited Wrex on our way to the docks. He's way more badass than in the game, but then again, this isn't a game anymore. This is my life. And my life is pretty screwed up. Ah well. I don't care too much. I got a good brother with me, and a pretty good squad to work with. Life won't be bad I reckon. Here's to surviving. The room I'm staying in is the crew's quarters. Never was in the game but still...This ain't a game no more. Theres actually an added 3 decks. A training room, firing range added. Theres thecrew deck and the last one, the Showers. Worst thing about the Showers deck is...there's no privacy. As in guys'n'gals shower. Together...Yikes. I'll have to shower alonewhen everyone's asleep. I know, I know, I get a chance to peek at hot chicks, but if I did, I'd probably be gelded or something for fraternisastion. Speaking of fraternisationit seems that Shep's got the hots for...Garrus. I know right?! It's fricking insane. You couldn't romance Garrus in the first game, but this should be interesting. I'll definitly play matchmaker if the chance comes up, believe you me.

Anyways, at the moment I'm walking up to Wrex, mustering up my courage.

"What do you want, Human?" He says in the deep guttural voice he has. God, I can feel the vibrations of it.

"Just saying hi, Krogan" I retort, staring at him. He just stares back, trying to look intimidating. I glare back, not going to back down from the challenge.

"Har. You got some courage Human. Not many Humans are brave enough to stare down a Krogan. The name's Wrex."

"Aye. I got courage. And I'm not the smartest either so there's that. M'name's Dewitt. Jack Dewitt."

"I've heard of you, weakling. You 'saved the Council'. Big deal. You'll have to do something big to impress me."

"What? Like kill a Thresher Maw? I could do that with one hand tied behind my back."

"Har. Im surprised you know what a Thresher is. And I'll take you up on that challenge if we meet a Maw. Do that, and I would be impressed, indeed."

"Of course. I do know a lot about Krogans. And Turians. And well, a lot of cultures."

"Hmm, I'll test that culture knowledge on Krogans another time."

"Aye. See you later Wrex"

"Weakling" With a nod of his head, which signalled the conversation was over. I saw that Veronica (I will call Shepard that from now on or Ver or V) was talking to Garrus.

I went into the engine room and my God, the engine was so beautiful. A blue, big orb that hung there, like a shining diamond. My mouth hung open when I heard Engineer Adams says something.

"Oh. Serviceman Dewitt. Anything I can help you with?" Oh yeah, I'm Serviceman, due to not being Alliance personel. It's kinda cool, having a rank.

"No Adams, I'm good. I just came to see if Tali'Zorah was alright. Also, I'd like to learn more about the ship from you, if you aren't busy."

"Of course Serviceman. I've got some time to talk. Around ten minutes or so."

"Right, so what is the engine essentially?"

"It's a little complicated but I can explain in a simpler detail. The engine was crafted by the Turians. It's essentially made of Gtyus particles, a special kind of engine particles. Itallows us to travel for extremely long periods of time without having to refuel. It allows for a sneakier travel, it's unable to be detected by other ship's sensors. Obviously, if they have windows they can just look out and they'll see us."

Im unable to resist but I say it anyways.

"Windows are a structural weakness."

"Hah. Funny, kid. But yeah, that's the engine. The ship itself was crafted by human and Turian metalsmiths. They banged and harvested and added lots of things, materials

into it to keep the ship strong, agile, quick but definitly sturdy. This ship is a marvellous sight. It's a wonder, and I'm quite grateful to be the High Engineer of it. I never stop

thanking Anderson profusely. He's a good man, and you seem like a good kid for listening to me. Most engineers fall asleep around the Gytus particles part. Thanks for listening

kid."

"No problems Adams. See you later"

"Bye Serviceman Dewitt"

I walk over to Tali and lightly tap her on the shoulder.

"Ah! Oh...Hey ."

"Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you . I was just gonna say hello."

"It's okay. And please, just call me Tali. How are you?"

"I'm fine. I just wanted to make sure I knew if you're settling okay. Since y'know..."

"I'm fine. I was thinking about how much of a bosh'tet Saren is."

"Yeah, he's a real bastard. So, are you on your Pilmigrige?"

"W-what? How do you know about the Pilmigrige?"

"Yeah. My best friend, the Turian had a Quarian lover. She would talk to me about your culture. But uh, she broke up with Garrus."

"Oh. That's sad. Well, to answer your question, yes I am on my Pilmigrige. I didn't know that humans could be so interested in Quarians with all their racial issues."

"Well I'm not just some 'Human'. I mean, I did live with a Turian. And work with him. I'm interested in all cultures. Hell, a Batarian used to be my friend. Then he left the

Citadel. Hell, my only friends now is just Garrus. But nothing could seperate us anyways. We're pratically brothers."

"Well that's good. I've met some people who have too many grudges. But I'm glad that some people don't have racial issues." I couldn't see it through her mask but she was

smiling at me, I'm sure of it.

"That's good to hear Tali. Haters gonna hate as they say."

"Hmm? I don't understand that idiom." She crossed her arms, her body showing confusion.

"It just means you can't change the minds of some people so you let them do it. Example, haters are going to hate no matter how much you try to change their ideals, their

beliefs. So that's the meaning of haters gonna hate."

"Oh, I see. That's...interesting to know. Thanks. It's nice to know more about your culture."

"It's not a problem. I like you Tali, you're very cool.

She responded by wringing her 3-fingered hands together, her posture becoming uncomftorable. Oh dear...I think I embarrased her.

"T-thanks Dewitt..."

"I-Uh-Nevermind. I'll see you later, okay?"

"Of course. Goodbye Dewitt." She turned around and did...whatever she did on that terminal of hers.

I left the engine room and headed over to Ashley. She seemed...calm. Which is good.

"Hey Chief."

"Serviceman."

"Want to talk?"

"Not really, but I think we are anyways."

"Look, I don't know why you don't like Turians. Or any aliens in that matter. So I just want to know, is all."

"Fine. Serviceman, my Grandfather...He surrendered at Shanxi. 'The first human to surrender to the aliens'. So, I think I'm entitled to a little xenophobicity."

"Ah. I see. Your Grandfather surrendered at Shanxi because he knew that the Turians would overwhelm him and his squad. He didn't want to unnescceraly sacrifice lives. He did it to save the colony and his squad. He may've had a tainted last name for what he did, but I view him as a hero. Think of this in that perspective Chief."

"Hmmm...You're right. Thanks. I...I'll try to be more nice to the aliens."

"No problemo. Adios Ash"

"Sayonara Dewitt."

I left her to her weapons. I think I've talked to everyone here. Garrus can talk to me later, if he wants. I head over to the elevator and press the Up button. Now I'm gonna gosee Kaidan and maybe good ol' Joker.

I see Ver talking to Kaidan so I head to the cockpit, to see Joker.

"Hey Flight Lietenaunt Jeff Moreau."

"Oh yay, another Alliance ins-Oh." He said as he turned around.

"What?" I say with a fake puzzled look.

"I just don't like being called that, Serviceman Dewitt." He said sarcastically.

"And I don't like snarky pilots, but we all gotta deal with crap" I say, a cheeky grin.

"Snarky pilots? Mmmm, that's my specialty!" He retorted snarkily.

"Oooh, maybe you'd like your bones snapped in 23 different places?" I say with mock anger.

"Alright, alright you win the game."

Wait...game...DAMMIT.

"Dammit, I just lost the game!"

I hear groans behind me and a chuckle from Joker.

"Was it worth it?"

"Oh yes Dewitt."

"No, I meant was it worth the leg ripped from your goddamned body and being repeatedly bashed in the face with it?" I say, with a smirk.

"Woah. That's very violent. Maybe you need a pshyciatrist?"

"Naw. I'm fine. Anyways Joker, how's the ship going?"

"It's going good. No i'm sorry, it's fricking amazing. It's one hell of a ship, that's for sure." He said, with a certain happiness.

"Good. Nice talking to you mate. See you later eh? And go easy with the Fornax."

"Yeah, Goodbye for now Dewitt. Wait...what? How'd you know about my Fo-Oh ho, you think you're so clever...dammit you are"

I walk away, chuckling. I see Ver and I walk up to her.

"Hey Veronica. So, what's the mission?"

"Hey Dewitt. We're to go to the Artemis Tau cluster, and we're to find a potential helpful Asari, Liara T'soni. She's the daughter of-"

"Matriach Benezia. Yeah I know. Alriiiight then. Who's going down then?"

"You, Wrex, Ashley and Tali. A bit of everything. A total combatist, a technichian incase we run into Geth, and a combatist with biotic powers. A good mix."

"Aw, you missed my talents." I say with mock sorrow.

"Hah. Your'e an all-rounder. I've never actually seen anyone be able to be excellent at all 3 skills. I'm a bit jealous actually."

"But your biotic skills are badass! I've never seen someone be able to Lift, Shockwave, and Throw so quickly in succession."

"Thanks. We'll talk later, yeah?"

"Course. See you later Veronica."

"Bye Dewitt".
