Part One
Prologue: Earth
(Opening Sequence)
(Screen Fades In)
(Young man stands before a screen depicting Earth)
(Marines run all over the place, working at their stations)
Anderson: How bad is it?
Hackett: Bad. We just lost contact with two of our deep space outposts. There's something massive on long range scanners.
(Marine examines screen of a Reaper, most likely Harbinger)
Anderson: Could this be what Shepard warned us about? Are the Reapers here?
Hackett: I'd stake my life on it.
(Marines scramble through an armoury)
Anderson: How long do we have?
(Shuttle takes off from hangar bay, leaving frigate)
Hackett: Not long. I've sent word. The fleets are mobilizing.
(Shows huge Alliance fleet orbitting over Earth. Shuttle closes in on planet)
Anderson: May God help us all.
(Usual Plot Summary Appears and Disappears)
(Introduction)
(Alliance Fighter flies past the screen)
Fighter: Delta Leader, this is Delta 5, reconfiguring current flight path, everything looks solid.
Leader: Copy that. Commence another sweep of the area. Report to Hackett when completed.
(Fighter turns and flies away and the audience realises the fighter is just a model being held by a small child)
(Child runs around in circles, making fighter piloting sounds)
(He stops as he sees a Kodiak Shuttle fly overhead and behind one of the buildings)
(He spots Shepard looking at him, and waves)
(Shepard smiles and waves back, looking towards the door as it opens)
(James walks in, saluting)
James: Commander.
(Dialogue Wheel)
*Stop Calling Me That* (Top right of the wheel, paragon option) or *I'm Discharged, Remember?* (Bottom right of the wheel, renegade option)
(Paragon)
Shepard: You're not supposed to call me that anymore James.
James: I'm not supposed to salute you either. Come on, the defense comittee wants to see you.
(Renegade)
Shepard: Is your memory intact or do you just choose not to listen? I'm discharged, remember that.
James: My memory's fine Shepard, just a military formality thats been built into me. Come on, the defense committee wants to speak to you.
(No matter what you choose...)
(Shepard frowns and drops pad on the bench)
Shepard: Sounds important.
(Once outside in hallway)
Shepard: What's going on?
James: Couldn't say. Just told me they needed you. Now.
(Anderson approaches them)
Anderson: (smiling) Shepard.
(Dialogue Wheel)
*Anderson?* (Middle left of the wheel, only available if you made Anderson Councilor in ME1 and 2) *Anderson!* (Top right of the wheel, paragon option) *What are you doing here?* (Bottom right of the wheel, renegade option)
(If Shepard chose 'Anderson?')
Shepard: Anderson? I thought Councilors stayed on the Citadel, didn't expect to see you here.
Anderson: Things changed for the better, Shepard. A Councilor's life is full of paperwork and pointless mucking around, I'm military Shepard, always will be. Besides, you probably should have chosen Udina to start with, he seems to take the job seriously. VERY seriously.
(Paragon)
Shepard: Anderson! Its good to see you! (He shakes Anderson's hand)
Anderson: You look good Shepard, a little soft around the edges. Come on, we've got very important work to conduct. (They continue walking)
(Renegade)
Shepard: I thought you were still stuck as Udina's pet? (If you chose Anderson as Councilor...) I thought you were still stuck wiping the floors for the Council? That's what humanity is to them right?
Anderson: Let's just say a Councilor's life isn't all that appealing. Come on, let's move.
(They continue walking)
Anderson: So how are you holding up since being relieved from duty?
(Dialogue Wheel)
*Not to Bad Actually* (Top right of the wheel, paragon option) *Full of Shit* (Bottom right of the wheel, renegade option)
(Paragon)
Shepard: Its not so bad once you get used to the hot foods and soft beds.
Anderson: We'll get it sorted out.
(Renegade)
Shepard: Full of Bullshit Anderson. I won't bitch, but you'd think I'm a POW.
Anderson: That will change soon, I promise you that.
Shepard: What's going on? Why's everyone in such a hurry?
Anderson: Admiral Hackett's mobilizing the fleets.
(They begin walking up stairs)
Anderson: I'm guessing word's made it to Alliance Command...something big's headed our way.
(Dialogue Wheel)
*The Reapers* (Top right of the wheel, paragon option) *Nah, its the Collectors* (Bottom right of the wheel, renegade option)
(Paragon)
Shepard: The Reapers?
Anderson: We don't know, not for certain.
(Renegade)
Shepard: Open your eyes, Anderson. Its obviously not the Collectors. You and I both know its the Reapers.
Anderson: Assumptions are dangerous Shepard, you of all people should know that. Look what happened to Saren.
(Dialogue Wheel)
*It has to be* (Top right of the wheel, paragon option) *Oh come on* (Bottom right of the wheel, renegade option)
(Paragon)
Shepard: Who else could it be?
Anderson: If I knew that...
Shepard: Its the Reapers, and were not ready for them. Not by a long shot.
Anderson: Tell that to the comittee.
(Renegade)
Shepard: Yeah, and Saren might just conviently have more geth heretics at his disposal.
Anderson: We can't just assume things Shepard...
Shepard: Its the Reapers, you know that, I know that. And were not ready for them.
Anderson: Tell that to the Comittee, their the ones who need to know too.
(They continue to top of stairs and continue)
(Dialogue Wheel)
*That's pointless* (Top right of the wheel, paragon option) *Yeah, lets play diplomat* (Bottom right of the wheel, renegade option)
(Paragon)
Shepard: Unless were planning to talk the Reapers to death, the Comittee...is a waste of time.
Anderson: Their just scared. None of them have seen what you've seen. You've faced down a Reaper, hell you even spoke to one. Then blew the damn thing up! You've seen how they harvest us, what they plan to do to us. You know more about this enemy than anyone.
(Renegade)
Shepard: All the Comittee will do is decide which one of their sorry asses gets to live.
Anderson: Their just scared. The Reapers are the greatest threat this galaxy has ever faced, but you managed to destroy one of them. You have the Reaper's undivided attention, that makes you a deadly war asset worth using.
(Dialogue Wheel)
*What of the Normandy?* (Top right of the wheel, paragon option) *I was arrested!* (Bottom right of the wheel, renegade option)
(Paragon)
Shepard: Is that why they grounded me? Took away my ship?
(They both stop, Anderson addressing Shepard)
Anderson: You know that's not true. The shit you've done? Any other soldier would have been trialed, court-marshalled and discharged. It was your knowledge of the Reapers that kept that from happening.
Shepard: That, and your good word?
Anderson: Yeah, I trust you Shepard. And so does the Committee.
Shepard: I'm just a soldier Anderson, I'm no politician.
Anderson: I don't need you to be either (continues walking). I just need you to do whatever the hell it takes to stop the Reapers.
(Same situation, but with Arrival DLC completed)
Shepard: Is that why they grounded me? Took away my ship?
(They both stop, Anderson addressing Shepard)
Anderson: You know that's not true. When you blew up the batarian relay, hundreds of thousands of batarians died.
Shepard: Does it look like I had much of a choice Anderson? (If you tried to warn them in Arrival). I tried to warn them, I tried so hard...(If you didn't, Shepard stops talking)
Anderson: I know you tried as hard as you could Shepard, the shit you've seen made it all worse. But your the only scrap of intel we have on the Reapers, and you alone can stop them. The Committee knows this too, thats why they called for you, and you only!
Shepard: I'm just a soldier Anderson, I'm no politician.
Anderson: I don't need you to be either (continues walking). I just need you to do whatever the hell it takes to stop the Reapers.
(Renegade)
Shepard: They threw me away and left me to rot Anderson. As for my crew...
(They both stop, Anderson addressing Shepard)
Anderson: You know that's not true. The shit you've done? Any other soldier would have been trialed, court-marshalled and discharged. It was your knowledge of the Reapers that kept that from happening. To be honest Shepard, I'm surprised they didn't do anything else, considering your ruthless reputation.
Shepard: And what, I'm supposed to thank you?
Anderson: I don't need you to thank anyone, I just need you to pull your shit together. And so does the Committee.
Shepard: I'm just a soldier Anderson, I'm no politician.
Anderson: I don't need you to be either (continues walking). I just need you to do whatever the hell it takes to stop the Reapers.
(Same situation, but with Arrival DLC completed)
Shepard: They threw me away and left me to rot Anderson. As for my crew...
(They both stop, Anderson addressing Shepard)
Anderson: You know that's not true. When you blew up the batarian relay, hundreds of thousands of batarians died.
Shepard: It was that or let the Reapers walk through our back door (If you tried to warn them in Arrival) Kenson cut me off as I tried to warn them. (If you didn't, nothing is said afterwards)
Anderson: I know that Shepard, and so does the Committee. If it wasn't for that, you'd have been court-marshalled and left to rot in the brig.
Shepard: That, and your good word?
Anderson: I don't exactly trust you, Shepard. You've got a ruthless reputation with a personality to mix, but if you can destroy Reapers and work miracles...then that's good enough for the Committee.
Shepard: I'm just a soldier Anderson, I'm no politician.
Anderson: I don't need you to be either (continues walking). I just need you to do whatever the hell it takes to stop the Reapers.
(They enter office)
Officer: Their expecting you two, Admiral.
(Officer walks in, followed by Shepard, James and Anderson)
(Anderson and Officer walk up to Virmire Survivor (Ashley or Kaidan))
(Shepard stops, turning to James)
James: Good luck in there, Shepard.
(Shepard shakes James' hand)
(Officer walks off as VS approaches Anderson)
Ashley/Kaidan: Anderson.
(VS spots Shepard)
Ashley/Kaidan: Shepard (If romanced) Shepard, is that you?
(Shepard turns to him/her)
Shepard: (Depending on who survived) Ashley.../Kaidan...(If you romanced him/her) It's me Kaidan.../Ashley...
Anderson: How'd it go in there (If Ashley) Lieutenant Commander? (If Kaidan) Major?
Ashley/Kaidan: Okay, I think. Hard to know. I'm just waiting for orders now.
(Shepard stops next to Anderson)
Shepard: (If Ashley) Lieutenant Commander? (If Kaidan) Major?
Anderson: You hadn't heard?
(Dialogue Wheel)
*I'm Far Behind* (Top Right of the wheel, paragon option) *Nevermind* (Middle Right of the wheel, neutral option) *Don't care* (Bottom right of the wheel, renegade option)
(Paragon)
Shepard: No, I hadn't.
Ashley/Kaidan: Sorry, Shepard. It's been...well...
Shepard: Its okay Ashley/Kaidan. Just glad I bumped into you (If romanced) How you holding up?
Ashley/Kaidan: Yeah, me too. (If romanced) and I'm fine, I was going to ask you.
Shepard: I'm okay Ashley/Kaidan, I'm fine.
(Neutral)
Shepard: It doesn't matter, we can discuss this later.
Anderson: Agreed.
Ashley/Kaidan: Yeah (If romanced) Good luck in their Shepard.
(Shepard nods)
(Renegade)
Shepard: To be honest, I really don't care at the moment. Stopping the Reapers is my only concern. I haven't forgotten Horizon...
Ashley/Kaidan: I'm sorry Shepard, I...
Shepard: Not good enough. You abandoned me, I don't forget treachery easily.
Ashley/Kaidan: No, I'm sure you don't.
Ashley/Kaidan: (Romanced Variation) But you betrayed me...
Shepard: Like hell I did...
Anderson: That's enough! Both of you are going to have to get over Horizon.
Officer: Admiral.
Anderson: Come on.
(Anderson and Shepard follow Officer inside)
(If you chose Paragon or neutral, he/she smiles at you. If you chose Renegade, he/she look at you with concern) (If you did Paragon/Neutral, you smile back as you leave. If you did Renegade, you shake your head as you walk past)
(James approaches Ashley/Kaidan)
James: You know the Commander?
(If you chose Paragon/Neutral)
Ashley/Kaidan: I don't just know him/her, I served alongside him/her (along with extra dialogue if romanced...) I also...loved him/her.
(If you chose Renegade)
Ashley/Kaidan: I used to (if romanced, they will look at the ground as they say it)
(Camera pans out from Committee silently conversing, before turning to Shepard and taking their seats)
Man: Admiral Anderson. Shepard.
(Anderson and Shepard stop in middle)
Shepard: What's the situation?
Man: We were hoping...you could to tell us.
(Another officer hands Shepard a datapad, and he/she examines it before the officer leaves)
Woman: The reports coming in are unlike anything we've ever seen. Whole colonies have gone dark. We've lost contact with everything beyond the Sol Relay.
Man: Whatever this is...its incomprehensibly powerful.
(Dialogue Wheel)
*Their Here* (Top right of the wheel, paragon option) *I Told you!* (Bottom right of the wheel, renegade option)
(Paragon)
Shepard: You brought me here to confirm what you already know...The Reapers are here.
(Everyone converses)
(Renegade)
Shepard: Ready to open your eyes everyone? The Reapers are here!
(Everyone converses)
Woman: Then...how do we stop them?
*Stop Them?* (Top right of the wheel, paragon option) *Guns. Lots of Guns* (Bottom right of the wheel, renegade option)
(Paragon)
Shepard: Stop them? This isn't about strategy or tactics. This is about survival. The Reapers are more advanced then we are. More powerful. More intelligent. They don't fear us, and they'll never take pity on us.
Woman: But...there must be someway.
(Renegade)
Shepard: Simple. We gather every last man, woman and child and we fight. Its us or them. We gather every resource we have and throw it at them!
Man: That's it? Thats your plan?
Woman: There must be another way.
*Unite* (Top right of the wheel, paragon option) *Survival* (Middle right of the wheel, neutral option) *Fight* (Bottom right of the wheel, renegade option)
(Paragon)
Shepard: We can't face the Reapers alone. We need everyone to help. The salarians, the turians, the batarians, the asari, hell, even the quarians and the krogan. We need every foot soldier, every fleet, anyone who can hold a gun. Fighting alone would be a fool's gambit.
(Neutral)
Shepard: We evacuate and hide. We fight, but never head on. We utilize run and gun tactics. A frontal assault would be suicide, and the Council isn't going to listen to us. Survival is our only hope, its all we can do.
(Renegade)
Shepard: We fight them head on. Guns, ships, troops and eezo. We launch every last one of are ships at them in a fight to wipe them out. We will not surrender until the Reapers are finished! Fight and fight we will. We fight, or we die. That's all there is to it.
(Depending on response, Committee converses in agreement (paragon), disapproval (neutral) or fear (renegade))
(Officer stands back up)
Officer: Admiral, we've lost contact with Luna Base.
Anderson: The moon? It can't have gotten that close already.
Woman: How'd they get past our defenses?
Officer: Sir, UK Headquarters has a visual.
(British soldier appears on screen and everyone turns to look. Soldier speaks in unintelligble words)
Anderson: Clear it up!
(Soldier can be heard perfectly)
Soldier: Unknown forces landing in London! Enemy force overwhelming! We can't...
(Explosion and all goes static)
(Replaced with images of Reapers landing in London, New York, Tokyo, Berlin, Paris, Rome etc)
(Screen zooms in on a still image of a Reaper)
Anderson: Why haven't we heard from Admiral Hackett?
Man: What do we do?
(If you chose "Unite" before)
Shepard: Galactic unification, or were doomed.
(If you chose "Survival" before)
Shepard: Survival at all costs, or we lose everything...
(If you chose "Fight" before)
Shepard: The only thing we can. We fight, or we die.
Anderson: We should get to the Normandy...
(Reaper sounds heard in background)
(Everyone looks up)
(Everyone looks outside to see a Reaper land in city behind them)
Woman: Dear god...
(Reaper beam glides towards their building as everything enters slow motion)
(A paragon interrupt appears on screen)
(If you don't press it, the same cutscene happens of the Committee getting wiped out)
(If you press it, Shepard will run forward and tackle the Woman out of the way just as the beam crashes into the building, killing the Committee, but leaving the Woman alive)
(Paragon Interrupted)
(Anderson approaches with a Predator pistol)
Anderson: We've got to get moving!

(Only enemies are the occasional charging husks and the single Cannibal. The fountain provides excellent cover, so the battle is simple, even on higher difficulties)
(Marine approaches Anderson)
Anderson: You marines okay?
Marine: To be honest, Admiral, we thought we were doomed until you showed up. I've radioed for pickup, were just waiting for it to arrive. We'll take care of it from here.
(Marine rejoins his troops)
(Objective Updated: Locate LZ for Normandy)
Anderson: Come on!
(Follow Anderson back down the street until you reach a unknown building)
Anderson: Normandy, this is Anderson. Sitrep.
(Ground shakes as a Alliance fighter, pursued by 2 Oculi, flies overhead)
Ashley/Kaidan: Were dodging bullets up here, Anderson. Reapers are here in force, decimating everything. We can't risk frontal engagement.
Ashley/Kaidan: Where are you guys? Committee building got blown to hell from what we can see.
Anderson: Were heading for the River's floodgates. We'll meet you there.
Ashley/Kaidan: That's a (static)..tive. Reaper...small...cannot...to hot. Need it...over?

(Once all husks are gunned down, the Reaper destroys a crane, which collapses onto your building, giving you a bridge onto the opposite building) (You use it)
(You see a Reaper Destroyer in the distance, firing its beams into the city and taking out shuttles)
Anderson: That must be the Reaper Ashley/Kaidan was talking about. We'll have to find someway to eliminate it.
Shepard: We distract it while the Normandy makes the killer blow.
Anderson: Excellent idea. Come on, there's a Mako we can use in the street below.
(Follow Anderson through the building interior, eliminating husks and a few Cannibals as you go)

(It charges its laser)
Ashley/Kaidan: (ONLY if romanced) Shepard, be careful!
(Anderson starts driving away just as the beam hits the ground behind you)

Anderson: Its a fight we can't win, not without help.
(Renegade)
Shepard: Come on Anderson! You can live to fight another day if you come with me!
Anderson: There won't be another day on Earth if I don't stay.
Anderson: Go to the Citadel, talk to the Council, convince them to help us.
*Their politicians!* (Top right of the wheel, paragon option) *Fuck them* (Bottom right of the wheel, renegade option)
(Paragon)
Shepard: And what if they won't listen?

Shepard: I don't take orders from you anymore, remember?
(Anderson throws Shepard his dogtags)
Anderson: Consider yourself reinstated...Commander.

(MASS EFFECT 3)
Hope you enjoyed Part One :)
Part 2: Priority: Mars coming soon. :D
Chapter 34 of To Survive II: Aftermath will be coming soon, well, hopefully.
Chapter 34: A Security Matter.
Due to the school holidays being around the corner, you may find a boost in chapter updating for both of these stories. Its 6 weeks of story! If were lucky, I might finish the story in that amount of time, but no promises. Don't let optimism get a hold on you to much. :)
It really does depend, I might spend it having fun on Xbox Live or playing Planetside 2 and Armour on my PC, or I might write my fanfic. I might be able to split it up so its evened, but I just don't know. That coupled with my nine day holiday at Phillip Island (where their shall be no computer access D:) will really hamper things, that's at least a week and two days taken off. And that's early in the holidays! Never fear men and women of the Alliance military, I have continegency plans! Not that it will fix anything, but going to phillip island gives me a chance to write rough drafts for my chapters, which should improve them and allow me to leave out more errors and correct past mistakes (like as some people say I'm 'murdering' Callinstel's stories, and I'd really rather rectify that. Which means first off, getting rid of Chief, sorry. :/)
See you on the next, To Survive II chapter!
