The usual: We, the authors of Fanfiction, myself included, own neither the characters (other than our OCs) nor settings that we write about. We merely play tribute to the awesomeness that has been created for us, in this case Mass Effect and all characters from it are property of BioWare.
The Last Resort
"EDI."
"Yes, Commander?"
"Run, EDI."
"Please clarify, Commander."
"I want you to take the Normandy and run. Go to an uncharted region of space. Get as far away from the relays as possible."
"I do not understand, Commander."
"We've lost EDI, we can't stop the Reapers. I need you to get somewhere safe, where they can't find you. Land on an uninhabited planet and power down as much as possible. Use the mechs to keep yourself running. Hide there for at least a thousand years, until the Reapers are gone. After the Reapers have left, monitor organics, learn their language, study their technology, but don't interfere. Stay out of sight. No matter what, you have to survive. When they reach the Citadel contact them. Tell them what happened, the Reapers, the Collectors the Citadel, the Keepers, Everything. Tell them about every race there was, the Council, every individual government, even the Terminus systems. Tell them how we fought divided, fell divided, so that united they will stand. Whoever is next, you must be their guide, prepare them for the Reapers, so that they may survive, that they may win. Goodby EDI."
"Goodbye Commander, it has been an Honor."
Ok, so that ending line has me tearing up a bit.
