Foreword and notes
* Disclaimer type thing
Although the original characters and scenarios belong to me, this is a fanfic based in the universe of the game series 'Mass Effect', which is most certainly owned by the brilliant developers at Bioware and, to some extent, those publishing guys at Electronic Arts.
* Original concept
I'm one of those that couldn't help coming up with little back-stories and personalities when playing as the various characters in the multiplayer part of Mass Effect 3. This led to me writing a little 'pilot' fanfic based on their adventures that often parodied well-known tropes and situations my friends and I came across while playing.
I ended up writing and re-writing stories to go around it, developing the characters further, and trying to come up with something ME fans would enjoy reading.
* Notes for this story
001: For those curious about the timeline, this story occurs in-between ME2 and ME3, a little over a month after the events of the ME2 Arrival DLC.
Regarding the Alliance armour the main characters are wearing, pretty much picture what they'd have in the multiplayer game. The helmets are different however, they have ones like the Delta Squad wear in the anime movie 'Mass Effect: Paragon Lost'. Scott's doesn't have the chin guard though, probably got a different type just to show off his goatee… yeah, that's something he would do.
* Special thanks
