Wassup, ya all. Tomce795 here and surprise, surprise, it's another SI in Mass Effect! Is there way too many of these? Probably, yes. Will it stop people from making these? Probably, not. Actually I'm not sure what this is... A SI/OC maybe?
So will there be anything different about this fic then the thousands of other ones?' I hear you ask. The answer is probably no. As I am an amateur writer, I have no idea what I'm actually doing. So expect a lot of question about everything that is fanfiction.
So... Will my char (or rather me) be able to go guns blazing and shoot every poor sucker that gets in the way? I doubt it. If there is one thing I don't want about this fic, it's it to be a Gary Sue's journey. Anyways enough chit-chat, let's get down to the good parts so you all could pick them apart and stuff them down my throat. Oh, yeah... It's set in ME 1... That's a thing.
Warning: This fanfiction contains: Gore, Violence and a few swears here and there. You have been warned

"My head... The hell did I do last night?" Is the reason why you don't go out drinking with friends.
My name is Tomas ******, but most people call me just Tom. I live in a country that 65% of people have never heard of. It's called Lithuania and it's in Europe, by the way. I'm a simple guy with simple interests that include, but not excluded to: Music, video games, being lazy and generally being an immovable brick wall that sits at a computer. Now don't get me wrong I'm not fat or anything, I'm just horrible at anything sports related. Okay maybe not horrible, I can still knock a few skulls around in a basketball court.
Being a good ol' 1,8 meters (I am not converting that to feet... You got google people, use it.) high. I got hair that's somewhere between blond and black. What else... Got blue eyes... Yeah that's pretty much it.
And now after a wild adventure yesterday, I'm lying face first into my bed, like I just ran a fifty kilometers, in my semi full clothing, no less. Just replace running with drinking and kilometers with shots taken. I slowly try pushing myself out of bed and into a sitting position. "Uhhhh... Goddamn it." I muttered as I tried to stand up. Naturally, I failed miserably and fell on the hard metal floor...
Wait... metal? Last time I checked, I had a rug here. You know I should really open my eyes, before attempting to do... whatever the hell I'm doing. I slowly start opening my eyes...
Only to see a bright red color and close them immediately. I slowly roll over to my other side and try to open my eyes again. I still got bombarded by red light, though it was more manageable than the first time, least I still got my glasses... I'd be as blind as a bat without 'em. As my eyes get more adjusted to the light in the room, I started looking around the room. It had black walls... a black wardrobe thingy... a weird door that looks like it belongs in a sci-fi flick... and... nothing else. This is all fine and dandy, except for the fact that...
This is NOT my room.
My room is filled with happy colors, not black! Also where the hell is my PC... Actually speaking of technology where's my phone. I quickly start to check my pockets, when my hands hit something hard. Yup... this brick is my phone. I pull it out and try to power it on. The bright flash of the screen forced me to close my eyes for a second. I open them up and stare into the lock screen of my phone.
29/7/2016, 06:06.
Good to know, I'm still an early bird... sort of. I noticed a SMS waiting for me. I open it and see that it's from a friend, Liza. It reads:
wut a fracking night we gonna do it again n again n again
Welp... She's lost it. I try and type in a reply:
Nope, never again. I'm locking myself in my room and having another Dragon Age marathon.
I clicked send only to get a message that the message could not be delivered. Oh... There's no service here... Well... crap.
I pocketed my phone and tried to stand up again, barely succeeding. Taking a second to steady myself, I turn around and look through the window that was plaguing my eyes with that horrible bright red light.
Huh... This is not my neighborhood. Last time I check there was at least a few trees there... Either this is one hell of a dream or I finally lost it...
The latter one seems more likely.
Outside the window I see flying cars... like straight out of Star Wars or something. There are some more buildings behind said cars. There is also a large amount of red light behind those building... Some why, I'm afraid to go there. Guess I do have common sense after all. Turning around again, I observed the room I was in. There was still the creepy sci-fi door and the creepy wardrobe, to my left I could see the messy bed that I woke up in and what looks like a kitchen area. To my right I saw nothing, but another wall.
Tearing my eyes away from the window I start wandering around the room. As I neared the door I saw that in the middle of it there was a red circle thingy. Feeling brave (or stupid) I touched it and it made a little beep-beep sound.
Naturally, I thought that a turret is ganna pop out and murder me, so I jumped out of the way. Seeing that nothing is out to kill me yet, I walked over to the wardrobe and started searching through it.
"This is not the place I want to be in." I started monologue as I searched the cupboards. "This is some kind of sci-fi flick and I don't like it. And I swear this looks familiar or something." I kept on muttering. As I opened the last cupboard, I saw some kind of weird small black board and a paper note attached. I instantly picked it up and read it:
Attach the black board thing to your right wrist.
"Ummm... what?" I asked myself as I read it again. After triple checking the note, I look at the black board and though on how to attach it to my wrist. I picked up the board, teared off the note and just smacked it on the top of my wrist. Suddenly, a message appeared on the black, saying:
Attach the Omni-tool on your bare skin, please.
Omni-tool? Ain't that a... Mass Effect thing? The hell is it doing here? I took off my hoodie, before attempting to put on the omni-tool again. This time I got some kind of weird tingly feeling on my wrist and the tool locked into place. And a whole orange holographic display showed up on my wrist.
"This is... awesome!" I exclaimed as I ran through the menus of the omni-tool. Just imagine a smartphone and smack it into an omni-tool. I noticed that I have a message from someone, I open it up and it reads.
Now I'm sure your confused, I'm pretty sure anyone in your citation. Anyways, your here for a reason... A reason I'm pretty sure your familiar with. The age is 2182, December 18th. You got a few months' tops to prepare, until the whole world goes to shit.
Now, before you furiously type a reply demanding that I bring you back. It's not happening. I used a lot of resources to get you here. Make sure you don't die in the first few weeks.
I'm giving you a few things for you to get started: A key out of this apartment, a few basic omni-tool programs and a bit of credits to start you off. You also now own this apartment, no one should notice you. This is a pretty runned down place, so most people don't pay attention to nothing, so your good.
Anyways, good luck and don't die too quickly. - Tim
P.S. You're in Omega.
P.P.S I'm not actually the Illusive Man, my name is just Timmy.
Well... Shit... So I'm in Mass Effect. Which is fine and dandy mind you, but the problem is that I'm in the worst part of Mass Effect, Omega. If I won't kill myself, this damned station will. I looked down on my omni-tool and saw a new message. I opened it and it read:
10,000 credits have been transferred to your account.
I also noticed that there are a few programs on the homepage. One of them is called Overload, the other Sabotage and the last one is called Hacking. "Well, that's useful." I commented as I started browsing my omni-tool. Some of the programs I saw include: Scanner, Omni-bank, Extranet, Flashlight and a basic communications app.
I take a look at the omni-tool settings and see that there are different ways of opening it. Right now, I'm on the finger flick option. Basically, I need to only flick my middle finger and the omni-tool will open or close. The other options include: Voice Activation and wrist flick. Needless to say I'll stay with the default.
Flicking my finger to turn the omni-tool off, I took my phone out of my pocket. "Unless I can find a way to transfer all my music to my omni-tool, I'll lose all of it." I commented to myself. Opening up my omni-tool, selected the Scanner app. A screen popped up and said:
Point the omni-tool to the item you want to scan.
I decided to point my omni-tool to my phone.
Hold omni-tool steady. Scan completed, files inside device detected. Select files that you want to transfer.
"Well, ain't that handy dandy." I said with a grin and selected all of my music.
Transfer complete. Outdated music files detected. Convert to a newer version?
Now, I panicked a little. "Of course that would happen." I said. Selecting, 'Yes' I watched as all of my music files got converted from an MP3 file to a MPX? They never lost the MP thing did they?
Watching as all my music files got turned from a MP3 to a MPX. It was surprisingly fast. Well I guess that this is a fast supercomputer. When it was finished, I quickly skimmed to find all my music and selected a random one. The music started blasting through my omni-tool, which in turn I quickly turned it off.
Satisfied, with my music being in the its rightful place, I closed the music player and opened up the Omni-bank app. Another window popped up and I was presented with a menu that says my current bank account balance is 10,000 credits. I also see options for transferring credits and a loan option... Moving on.
I close the bank app and open up my only communications app. I instantly see Tim in my contacts list. I cross my eyebrows for a sec, before composing a message to him.
You do know I had a life, before all this, right? While, I like the games, I don't really wanna life through them.
I hit 'send'. I get a reply almost instantly.
I am aware of that, yes
So, not even feeling a little sad?
Nope.
So, what the hell do you expect me to do? Join Shepard? Save the galaxy? I ain't built for that!
I expect you to survive first. Getting to the Citadel, would be a good start.
Wow... So will you at least give me directions?
I waited a minute, until the reply came.
Fine. There is a weapon store not far from here. Talk to the owner. His name is Nikolai.
Do I want to ask how you know him?
Let's just say I have some connections. Anyways when you meet him tell him that Tim sent ya. He'll equip you with some basic equipment.
Will that equipment cost me?
Probably, not. Sending the coordinates to your omni-tool.
My omni-tool beeped and a new window popped up with a map of the area. It quickly found my location and set up a waypoint to the weapon store.
With a large sigh I opened up the door and left my room.
And there you have it, everyone! The first chapter in this weird story.
It probably sucks, but hey I wanna write something and this has been in my mind for ages. Anyway's I hope you all enjoyed it.
I'll see ya all later.
