I do not own Mass Effect. If I did, every Cerberus trooper would have three heads.
"Well sounds like Daniels have had a large history with all these logs. It's going to take a while to examine this."
"Hey can I come out now?... You call this treason? Heck, I've heard of Turians working for Geth that tried to take over the Citadel. Wait, they died. Ah, guys, I'm coming out of this cell alive...right?"
"Probably. Hah, George, can you believe this guy? Let's just finish off all these audio tapes."
Audio Log 1 (Daniel Lunes) (Cerberus Biotic Trooper)
So, you may ask why I'm a Cerberus Trooper...
Well, I was bored.
Said boredom led me to 1 year of pissing off crimelords, 3 years on the run from bounty hunters, and another year of combat training. In addition to that, nice people clad in black armor knocked me out with biotics, and shouted out "Go Go Go" within every five seconds of my kidnapping.
After that, I found myself in a dark room surrounded by tall men silhouetted by a light that covered my vision. I was also restrained by numerous belts that covered my body, and held me in place.
Well, that wasn't the best part. The best part was finding myself trapped in a room with element zero floating around. I looked at the window on the right. Of course, the same men were watching from a safe distance. Probably to keep from inhaling the gases, should anything go wrong, or to not hear the screaming from the frantic person trapped in the blue room.
Probably both.
After an hour of watching blue gas floating around, I finally fainted and woke up in a relatively comfortable room. I looked to the left, and saw pieces of black armor, neatly organized.
Of course, I'd wore armor before, but this seemed pretty easy to put together. But, after finishing the puzzle, I found myself staring at a Cerberus Insignia.
I felt the barrel of a pistol on my head.
"Well, you seem capable in putting on you're armor at least.", said the gruff voice behind me. "Your new biotics seem to be functioning as well.", he said, gesturing to the blue aura that circled around me. "You have two decisions. One, you could join Cerberus...or two, you could die right here..."
I chose to die...
If you really thought I chose to die, you are an idiot.
So, after making my decision I started training. I really won't bore you with the details of the training, it was basically a lot of biotics, gunshots, yelling, and death threats by the commanding officers.
Then came the new uniform...
Audio log 1 End.
"Dammit, we're listening to this guy's whole life story! Can't we just skip this and take him to his permanent cell?"
"Sorry...C-Sec policy...unfortunately."
"Garrus had it all right. Why can't we become full fledged badasses who don't play by the rules?"
"Just shut up and start the next log."
Audio log 2 Start. (Daniel Lunes) (Cerberus Biotic Trooper)
At the end of the training, I found myself with the ability to make biotic barriers, and to be a decent shot. The sad thing is, that I couldn't make any offensive biotic powers, only barriers to protect me. So, that whole "screaming in the chair while dangerous gases entered my body" situation was all for nothing...
Anyways, I was later stationed on this planet called Binthu, alongside several Cerberus Commandos. I was originally going to escape, but after seeing a dead admiral being carried to the chamber holding rachni, and thrown in, I went with the "Cerberus Plan". That plan was to not piss off the scary troopers in black armor.
After a few hours of guarding a bunch of scientists randomly pressing buttons on a terminal, the doors opened.
"Hey guys.", I said, expecting another Cerberus patrol behind me.
Well, it wasn't Cerberus. Instead, I was standing in front of an angry Krogan, a disturbed Turian, and a heavily armed man in oversized, pink armor.
Aaaannnnd...that was when all hell broke loose.
First, the Krogan charged, hitting me with an intense force that caused me to fly across the room. Gunfire erupted throughout the room, biotic auras covered the entire area, and electricity flew through the battle.
And where was I? At the corner of the room slipping in, and out of consiousness.
"Enemies everywhere!"
"Go Go Go!"
"I will destroy you!"
"Go Go Go"
"Go Go Go"
"Enemies Everywhere!"
"I will destroy you!"
"I will destroy you!"
Yep, those were the Cerberus Commandos' last words. After a while, I woke up in a large room that seemed similar to the 21st century Earth hospital rooms.
"Well, I'm assuming that the mission on Binthu didn't go so well.", said the man dressed in the white labcoat.
"Nope, I'm surprised that I'm still alive. So, I'm feeling a lot better, can I get assigned to another mission?", I said.
"Yes, you'll be stationed at Lazarus Research Station in a few days. Your assignment would be guarding Commander Shepard's body."
I nearly fainted.
"Wait, one of the guys back at Binthu took out that pink maniac? I need to congratulate the badass that killed him, and that insane krogan."
"Not exactly, he was eventually killed after the Battle of the Citadel."
"Wait, the Citadel was attacked?", I asked in shock
"Yes, Daniel, you were in a coma for two years. ", he said in a normal, calm voice.
I was quiet for a few minutes, just contemplating right in front of him.
"...So, anything else I should know?"
"Well, we replaced the weapons with infinite ammo with guns using 21st century styled ammo systems. We can also use rocket launchers in combat now, and we replaced our amazing black armor with skin-tight suits."
Audio Log 2 End.
"So, he's been in a coma for two years, unaware of Cerberus actions. Also, it seems that he was not participating in the actions of Noveria operations, or the "Colony of the Husks"."
"It still doesn't prove he's innocent. Play the next Audio log. I'm still aware of the actions of Cerberus during the Citadel coup."
