DISCLAIMER: I DONT OWN ANYTHING RELATED TO MASS EFFECT, MASS EFFECT IS OWNED BY BIOWARE, PLEASE SUPPORT THE OFFICIAL RELEASE.
It was just an average Monday morning, the sky was blue the water clear, and a shitload of Batarian ships headed Elysium's way, gotta love Monday's 'eh? My name is Kayland Hiro, but most of my cohorts in crime call me Kay, or Aegis. Anyways I recently graduated from Aegis' engineering program, and I walked out on my family to go and try to travel to the Terminus systems. The reason why is because I heard Omega needs some engineers. Well, this is my story, and love. Ha! Funny.
"Aegis! Get your ass in here! Gin's Avenger is fucking up," this is just the good part of my job,
"What's wrong this time Gin?"
"Dude, it just won't cool down!" IDIOT'S I SWEAR,
"Did you try ejecting the thermal clip?"
"I did. I'm not an idiot Aegis," ok…
"Give it to me." Its firing mechanism was jammed. Wait! He just smacked it out! "The reason it won't cool down is because you ejected the thermal clip wrong, Gin!"
"Oh crap,"
"Idiot," my friend Gin was always retarded. He does have a very well off college fund. But his intelligence could be challenged. Well, there's me, Gin, Yuri, an Alliance soldier who has been fed up with the Alliance, an Asari that were supposed to take to citadel, a FENRIS mech that's supposed to be fixed. So far all it did was destroy my new LOKI mech. And Loke, a drell assassin that decided to help us.
"I'm sorry to interrupt whatever this is, but turn on the news!" I did as the damn Asari asked and…
"Oh my god!" me, Yuri, Gin, and Loke all said in unison,
"Oh my god is correct," it showed scenes of battle, and multiple ships entering the atmosphere,
"Pirates? Or Batarians?"
"Yuri, does it really matter! Aegis is that HELIOS battle ship ready!" we heard explosions and crashes coming from the other side of our compound,
"Shit! I recommend everyone gears up for some heavy fighting! You to Asari!" everyone put on our armor, a set of standard combat armor with BLOOD written along our right arm, "Gin, Yuri, I need you two to punch out the window, Loke cover our asses, you, Asari, cover Loke's ass!" everyone did as I said, "Yuri, did that new heavy mech get here yet?"
"Ya Aegis, it just won't activate though," great! The glass finally broke out and we could see over 20 pirates, or whatever they were trying to get into the hangar,
"Lay down suppressing fire you two! I'm gonna see if that FENRIS mech can reach the heavy,"
I ran over to my computer console and typed in the manual override controls for the FENRIS, and it worked I saw the door, and a whole lot of dark, really wish I could've installed night vision for it, I walked over to the big metal casing, or at least what I thought was the casing for the heavy, and used it's attacking controls to shatter the case. Well I was right about it being the heavy's case.
"Can you hurry your happy little ass up Aegis?"
"I'm trying Gin!" it was an advanced code and I tried to hack it to the best of me not being there… it asked for a password, "Yuri! It's asking for a password, what the hell is it talking about!"
"I thought it was asking for mine," Yuri got shot in the shoulder and fell down like a ton of bricks,
"Yuri!" I ran over to him and applied medi-gel to the wound, "Yuri, are you ok!" he grabbed me by the shoulder and pulled me to his eye level,
"The password is my real name, screw me and go get that mech online!" I was panicking,
"Asari, Loke, get over here, cover Yuri, I'm gonna seal this door!" they came back and I tried sealing the door,
"He lost too much blood Aegis." No… NO! I sealed the damn door and came back to Yuri,
"Don't die on me Yuri! Don't die!" I ran to our weapons shelf and found my experimental medic nanobots, and ran back to Yuri, "DON'T DIE!" I injected him with the nanobots, and it didn't look like they were working, "DAMN IT!" I grabbed his assault rifle and ran over to the window and shot, after a long and bloody battle I got shot a good three times and I wouldn't die. I shot 5 different clips into those people, and then I fell unconscious. When I woke up I saw Yuri standing over me,
"Aegis, wake up man!" I woke up and found it wasn't some dream! I got socked in the face, "Next time I tell you something DO IT!"
"How are you alive Yuri?" I got kicked by Loke, and when I finally got up I got smacked by the Asari,
"Ok just stop hitting me damn it!" they stopped and I walked over to my console with great unease, I typed in Yuri's real name, which I won't tell, and the mech activated, I called that FENRIS back up to our side of the compound, and the YMIR mech came out from the garage,
"Like I said, screw me, and get that mech online,"
"Yeah? Fuck off Yuri!" I then walked over to the gun rack and grabbed my shotgun. It was a modded Claymore to decrease recoil, and increase its stopping power, and then walked over to the sealed door, "Yuri, Gin, get your shotguns out and get over here," Gin's was the standard Scimitar Assault shotgun, and Yuri's was what he called a 'Falconet Hand Cannon' but it's a normal Katana shotgun modded like mine. Only his can tear a hole through things, even metal, I unsealed the door and found four humans in Alliance armor and one that looked like he had been trained,
"Who are you!" he said while pulling out his shotgun,
"My name's Gin, This is Aegis Hiro, 'nd Yuri Artium, we live here and we want a fucking answer from you first!" he put his shotgun back, but we kept ours out,
"My name's John Shepard, an Alliance Marine, the rest are just civilians, one said that you could help us organize a militia until Alliance reinforcements come here," great, fucking Alliance B.S.
"We can't we can house wounded and such, but we don't have enough ammo and weaponry for everyone," he seemed ok
"That's good, all we needed was a place to put them," wait!
"How much? We might have enough," I don't like were this is going,
"200 in all, 50 marines, 140 civilians, and 10 POW's" FUCK!
"We'll be glad to do that John," what was Gin getting us into,
"Thanks,"
"But on one condition."
"What's the condition?" wait Gin don't!
"We need money, and the civilians, such as women and children can stay here, we also need more LOKI mechs operational as of yesterday… Sir… also the women and men who can't fight can help us re-establish a secure connection to other sides of our compound," he looked bewildered,
"We can't promise money, but we can allow the LOKI mechs to be moved over here. And some engineers can help with getting the communications back online,"
"Wrong, we just need one set up on the far side so we can communicate there sir,"
"Ok, we can also agree with the fact that we'll allow all civilians that can't or won't fight to help here," wow,
"If you can't promise money, then promise us enough to get to the citadel. Or even to get us a ship. Either one will do,"
"I can't promise that, but if you help the Alliance will be in your debt," What is Gin planning!
"Good, Loke, Asari, go help Shepard secure a route for the civilians, Yuri, and Aegis, come with me," we followed him willingly, we reached our bunks and sat,
"What in the hell are you getting us into Gin!" he sat, popped open a bottle of Red Rum, and drank it,
"I'm just helping, get that YMIR heavy ready for AA support,"
"No you aren't Gin! What type of angle are you working!" he walked over to his locker and took out a data pad,
"This is why Aegis!" I looked at the Datapad and it showed millions of streams of data,
"Wh-What is this Gin!" he just kept drinking,
"It's an AI core. It was supposed to be integrated into our HELIOS assault ship, but we couldn't, if I get caught Aegis, I need you to hold onto this," me and Yuri stared at it,
"Wh-Why though, why did you create it?" He then walked back to his box, hopefully there's no more AI, but he instead pulled out a cigarrete, and started smoking it,
"It responds to Garuda, if you find any suitable mechanical body, integrate it into there,"
"Bu-but why!" he smoked what was left of his cigarrete, and put down his bottle,
"To help save the world."
Sorry for the cliff hanger (If anyone is even reading this)
