Hey guys this is my first ever fanfic so try to be nice. But by all means give me feedback and development ideas. Tell me what you like, don't like and so on. Planning on turning this into a series not sure how long yet but will play it by ear. Also for the stories sake forget the mass effect story line im just taking the human characters I like.
Ryan Gibbs is a 19 year old from London he was born on earth where he was raised by a wealthy and powerful family within the alliance. He stands at 6ft with dark brown short hair, piercing blue eyes and a strong jaw. He has an extremely well-toned body without being over built or bulky. He joined the alliance academy at 16 and quickly established himself as an excellent soldier and commander. Excelling in personal combat and tactical command, he was the first person under 21 to be asked to join the N7 program. By 18 and a half he became one of the youngest lieutenants in the alliance. He then went on to save a large group of alliance politicians from pirates including the Prime Minister Shastri, Admiral Hackett and minister Udina. In recognition he was made first lieutenant of the Normandy under Commander John Shepard and Major Kaidan Alenco. Who together lead a crew on a proto-type ship the Normandy designed for stealth and recon in a bid to deal with the growing threat of renegade pirates and slavers. There Ryan has served for the last six months while the Normandy tracks down and deals with any and all threats to alliance peace in the deepest darkest corners of space.
Ryan walked onto the Normandy's command centre and noticed the commander barking orders. "Commander" Ryan said saluting as he reached him. "First lieutenant" Commander Shepard replied, "Come and take a look at this." Ryan followed him into the bridge where his jaw dropped and he couldn't stop a gasp. Before them was the biggest man made thing Ryan had ever seen it was enormous bigger than any station or ship put together not far off the size of a small moon. "What is that thing?" Ryan blurted out. "My scans can't register exactly what it is, all I can establish is that it is most defiantly not human design." Edi stated. "Where did it come from?" Ryan asked awestruck. "I haven't been able to determine its primary use however there are no life forms of any kind aboard whatever it is or was it's abandoned."
"Well lieutenant what course of action would you take?" Shepard asked while he turned to look at Ryan. Ryan took a deep breath. "Well sir our first priority should be to report this to the alliance. Then I would try hailing it if there's no response then I would send out the drones and have them check there's defiantly nothing aboard before we send teams in." Shepard nodded "good thinking Lieutenant, EDI continue trying to hail whatever that thing is while the drones are prepared. Ryan you get the crew together and armoured up while I contact the alliance." "Yes sir!" Ryan said saluting.
Ryan stood in the hanger bay inspecting the crew when Edi came over "Ryan Shepard is on his way should I prepare for the mission brief?" she asked "Sure" Ryan said "go set up" and watched her walk away. Even after all this time Ryan couldn't totally wrap his mind around Edi. An artificial intelligence designed to run the Normandy and serve as 'enhanced defence intelligence'. Until a mission before Ryan joined the crew where the ship had been attacked and control of the ship was almost lost she had been unshackled and had free reign of the ship. Able to upgrade, develop and change without even letting the crew know. However she still agreed that humans helped the ship reach its full capabilities and so were integral to mission success. Then after Ryan's first mission as a member of the crew they came across an extremely advanced gynoid, built by a terrorist group and unrivalled by any other synthetic known to man. Edi had then somehow managed to take control of the unit melding her programing with that of the unit and somehow making her more sentient. Truth be told Ryan didn't really understand it all but what he did know was Edi was endlessly useful and had proved she could be trusted.
Shepard came up behind him with gunnery chief Williams and Major Kaidan. "Sir!" Ryan and the rest of the crew saluted. "Shall we" Shepard said gesturing towards the briefing area where Edi was already stood waiting for them. As the crew were taking their seats Dr Noah the chief of science, Dr David and chief engineer Adams joined them. Shepard stepped forward "as I'm sure some of you have heard we have come across some kind of alien station. We currently have no idea what it is, what it's for or what it does but command has given us clearance to begin recon and basic investigations until the alien investigatory task force can arrive." Kaidan stepped forward and a projection of the station appeared before them all. "As you can see this station is massive and quite unlike anything we have ever seen before in any pervious discovery. We have established that it is in fact not a ship however we cannot determine its usage. There will be two task forces heading out one led by the commander that will be heading to this part of the station through the top hanger" as he said it a little box lit up on the hologram and zoomed in. "from what we can tell it seems to be the main control room once there you will find out what you can and see if you can't find out what this station is. The second team" as he started talking the hologram zoomed back out and a different part of the station lit up. "Will be led by First lt Ryan you will be going in through the west hanger and will be scouting the lower section of the station. There is something down there Edi has established as 'safe room'. What that means we're not sure but we are picking up strange power readings from inside unlike any power output we've ever encountered"
Engineer Adams moved forward and the station image changed again zooming in on what looked like the front of the station. "This seems to be the main supply of power it registers at an almost unreadable level and has enough power to support all of earths power needs for the foreseeable future." There was a little murmur from the crew "I know it seems impossible, but I've done the maths and insuring that power source stays stable is top priority who knows how big it would go if it went off." Shepard moved forward again "right Kaidan will be remaining here to command the ship along with Dr David our alien expert. Who will be analysing everything our armour cams pick up and will direct the mission from here. Sergeants Vaga and Cortez will be piloting the shuttles I'll have Cortez, Ryan you take James. My team will consist of chief Williams, corporal Jenkins and Dr Noah. Ryan you will lead Sergeant McDonald, Edi and corporals Arin and Ben any questions?" Ryan stood up "what's our objective sir?" "At the moment I just want to get an idea of what we're dealing with here. So any and all data we can recover is the top priority along with insuring that the main power core is stable. Also be advised scout drones have found nothing hostile as of yet. However extreme caution is advised and don't mistake ladies and gentlemen this is the biggest alien find in earth's history let's try not to mess it up."
Ryan and his team moved slowly through the station using the lights from their helmets and guns to light the way. The thing was like a ghost town there was nothing. It was like whomever or whatever left this thing here did not want to leave a trace of themselves behind. Both the hanger and the rooms they now moved through were cold and clinical giving Ryan the impression this was some kind of military station. Which meant Ryan couldn't help the uneasy feeling he had in his stomach. "Edi keep a few drones just ahead I don't want any surprises." Ryan asked. Meanwhile Shepard's team had entered the control room and began looking round. "Dave are you getting this?" "Yeah it's exactly the same sort of technology that was found on mars and other planets Edi can you get any remote access to the station?" David asked "no the whole station is dead all I can pick up is the two power sources."
By now Ryan's team had reached the safe room a massive door stood before them Ryan looked round "I can't see away to open it" he said. As he finished his sentence Dr Noah had tried accessing the control system however nothing seemed to be working. Having given as a last ditch attempt he began pressing buttons at random all of the sudden the whole station shuddered and powered up.
The next thing Ryan knew the lights were on and a security door slammed shut trapping them between the two solid doors. "Edi what's going on?!" Ryan yelled "I don't know I've been cut off from my main core on the ship all communication is jammed. The last thing that happened that I know off Dr Noah was trying to start up the computer system he must have triggered a station lock down. At that point an alarm started sounding. "What the hell is that?" Lucy asked "I don't know at a guess it sounds like a warning system" "warning for what" Ben asked? "Forget that I want off of this thing now! Edi get these doors open!" Ryan barked "that's the issue Ryan I can't I have no remote access what so ever and there's no way to gain manual control!" Ryan yelled in anger and frustration and punched the safe door. To his shock it began to open and then stopped. All five of them stood and stared at the door. "Do that again" Ben said and all four of the humans began punching and kicking the door willing it to open. However nothing happened after their hands began to hurt they stopped with another yell of anger frustration and all out desperation Ryan hit the door. And it slid open not by much but by just enough for them the fit through one at a time.
They all stood staring at Ryan then the door then back. "Let's… Let's move Ryan said after a pause and one by one they slid through the gap. Edi noticed a terminal in the next room and ran to it and began typing away."The alarm is a warning of a station malfunction. The stations core is going to let out a charge to stop itself from imploding." Edi exclaimed "what!" Ryan shouted "surely that would be enough to wipe us and the Normandy off the map…" "Not the Normandy I have regained a weak signal to the ship they have fallen back to a safe distance. In fact I might even be able to seal this room and set up its shields it seems this room was designed for this occurrence." "What about Shepard?" "There's no way for him to get here in time the charge is about to go off any minuet" Ryan looked round at the rest of the team who just looked right back "Ryan! If I don't seal this room now you all will die and the power would fry this body's circuits! "Do it!" Ryan yelled knowing he had just sealed not just the room but Shepard's and the rest of his team's fate as well.
With the room sealed and Edi was able to restore oxygen to the room. Ryan yanked his helmet off and threw it at the wall. "Sir you did all you could" Lucy said walking over to Ryan. "Yeah" corporal Arin piped in "I've left them to die" Ryan said grief in his tone. "There was nothing we could have done they were on the other side of the station waiting for them would have meant our death as well" Lucy pointed out. Ryan nodded as she put a hand on his shoulder. "The station won't be safe for some time" Edi stated "best we settle down then" Ben said trying to catch Ryan's eye but he was staring at something else.
Ryan had noticed a golden box that sat on a pedestal towards the back of the room and had blue, green and yellow writing on it that seemed to glow. "What is that" Arin said standing back up as Ryan moved towards it seemingly hypnotised. "It seems to be the second power source although it's strange it's not any kind of power I've ever seen before. In fact it's not like any other artefact found on any other alien discovery site." Edi chimed Ryan was just in front of the box now the glow was much brighter and it was beginning to hover into the air. "Ryan sir I wouldn't touch that" Ben said as the words left his mouth the whole station shuddered again and the lights went out with another jolt of the station they came back on but Ryan fell forward grabbing the box to save himself. The box flashed blindingly bright and both Ryan and the box floated into the air the rest of the team jumped up from the ground and ran to Ryan but as Ben got there the box let out a force wave knocking them all back into the wall. The letters on the box began to change and move while a strange light surrounded Ryan and the box. Corporal Arin was back up first and jumped to reach Ryan but as she stood the light grew so bright it blinded then all. Ryan suddenly started a bloodcurdling scream that seemed to last forever. Arin felt herself thrown back into the wall as the colours began to change to blue, green, yellow, purple, grey, orange, and white. Then as fast as it began silence and the light returned to normal. As Lucy opened her eyes she saw Ryan fall to the floor where he landed in a heap unmoving.
