It was a normal day. It could be any day. However, for Ashley Williams, Kaidan Alenko and Kirana Shepard, the day was about to get complicated, confusing and weird.
They were sitting quietly, wondering what Admiral Hackett had summonded the three of them to his office for this time. They'd done nothing wrong, that they knew of.
Thud.
"What was that?" Kirana asked, distractedly.
"Something fell over in the corridor, I'd guess." Kaidan replied, sounding equally distracted.
"What is up with you guys this morning? Don't you want to know what fell over in a place that, when we were in it a few minutes ago, had nothing in it that could fall over so loudly?" In contrast to her companions, Ashley was full of energy that morning. She got up and positively bounced over to the door.
"Why are you so nosey?" Kirana shot back, quick even through her grouchy mood.
Ashley gave a loud, pointed sigh and reached for the door handle. She opened the door slowly, dramatically, humming a tune classic of horror films as she did so.
Kirana caught Kaidan's eye and grimaced.
Then Ashley spoke again.
"Hey guys? We have a problem here."
"What now, Ash?" Kirana questioned her friend, tired of Ashley's cheerfulness.
"I don't recognise this corridor. This isn't the way we came in here." What?
Kirana stood up and started to walk over to her friend, "Ash, you're being insane. This has to be the way we came in. There is nothing else it could be. You're just over-acting, as usu-oh."
"Oh, indeed." Kaidan agreed, peering into the corridor that definitely wasn't the one they'd walked down. In fact, none of them had ever seen a corridor like this one before.
Kirana's vision started to blur as she stepped nervously into the foreign corridor. She blinked rapidly. It was no use. She felt the world start to spin, and fade to black.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
Kirana woke up, and realised straight away that she was uncomfortable, and in handcuffs. Great. Her eyes scanned the room. It was small, and dark. There wasn't really anymore she could say about that. More immediately worrying than the state of the room was the person standing in front of her. A tall, skinny human woman with wavy red hair, brown eyes, and a black tattoo on her pale skin. She also wore battle armour of some variety, although Kirana didn't recognise any of the markings.
"I'm Major Hollietta Talon, Galactic Republic Special Forces, Havoc Squad. You have been captured aboard my ship and are now under arrest. My Sergeant has removed all weapons and technology from your persons." She spoke calmly, her voice icy and regal.
Kirana glanced at her friends, desperately hoping that at least one of them was less confused than she was. Galactic Republic? Where the fuck am I? Kirana wondered darkly.
"It'd be better for the three of you if you explain to me what you're doing here, before we return to Coruscant and I'm forced to hand you over to the SIS."
"The SIS?" Ashley's voice sounded tired.
"Strategic Information Service." Holly stated, as if it was a question she was asked everyday. Suddenly she narrowed her eyes, "I may know how you get here. There is a possibility that you were transported through time and space from another galaxy... Agent Balkar mentioned a possibility of something similar to that happening because of changes in the air pressure surrounding the... oh, I know nothing about the Science of it all," She paused, took a deep breath, then continued, "Forgive me for sounding insane... but have there been reports of people disappearing entirely from you galaxy recently? Or reports of people appearing and knowing nothing about your ways of life?"
There had, but Kirana wasn't about to tell this strange woman that. Her mind was reeling. From another galaxy? Holy shit, she thought, this just got complicated.
Kaidan spoke up, "There have been a few reports, yes."
Major Talon sighed, "Well... looks like all of our lives have just become very complicated. I'm going to have to take you to Coruscant, the Capital of the Galactic Republic, and see if the SIS have found a way to return people to their own galaxies yet. That may take a while, for which I apologise. However -" Her pause was enough to alert them that something was going to happen, "First, we need to pick up the rest of my crew and complete the mission." She stared at them again, then quickly released their wristbinders.
"Make yourselves at home, as best you can. If you need anything, speak to either myself or Sergeant Dorne. And don't bother M1-4X, he's quite... strong-willed." She turned and headed for the door, then paused in the doorway, "The General is going to kill me."
Kirana frowned, "Going to kill you? Why?"
"No reason and every reason. I carry out her orders... just not always the way she wants them carried out." Hollietta shrugged, as she left the room.
Ashley glanced at Kaidan.
"Oh god, another one with Kiri's attitude."
AN: Heeeeeeey everyone!
Disclaimer: I own nothing... other than my ideas. And that's only because no one else would want to own anything that goes on in my head.
Erm, I'm going to waffle here... I usually do. Okay, first sorry its so short, I kind of wanted to get the first chapter uploaded. Second, my scientific knowledge is sadly lacking. 12 days until exam results... if I've managed to scrape a pass in science, it'll be on my Biology, because the rest of science serves only to confuse me. Also, my ME knowledge isn't great, mostly gleaned from watching videos and reading fanfictions, but I love the characters, so I thought I'd at least try.
They ended up with the SWTOR Trooper's team by the way. If anyone's wondering where in the SWTOR universe and timeline this fits in, its after the end of the storyline. I'm yet to decide if this story is going to have an f!trooperXjorgan leaning. Yes, on my current trooper playthrough, I romanced him, and I've always written them together before. However, I'd also like to see him and Elara together. That'd be cute... and deadly. I have a vague plan for this story, but I'm not fully sure of where its going to go. I also apologise if updates are irregular, as not only do I return to college in about a month, but this is all I've written in over a month. Suffering with writers block quite badly.
Couple of other things: Kirana's name. Yeah... its based on the name of Kira on SWTOR (I was playing Jedi Knight earlier, don't judge), I was actually going to call her Kira, but then I realised that could get confusing if my Jedi Knight makes an appearance later on.
Also, I'm posting in this crossover site, although I can think of at least two more fandoms that WILL make appearances later on.
Thanks for reading this, follow, favourite, review, eat some cake... do what you want to... but please review :)
