Trepidation
Chapter 1: The unit
AU: So just to give some idea what's going on here. This is a story about a geth platform; from just before mass Effect 1 all the way through to andromeda...But you must be thinking that's absurd considering the andromeda initative was just after the end of mass Effect 2 ends right? But hold your horses because everything will be explained, bear with me here because this is one hell of a ride and the only way to find out how this works is by reading the dammed story. All I'm going to say is sentient geth platform... Enjoy.
Year: 2000 c.o
Location: Milky way
Perseus veil
Tikkun system
Rannoch orbit
105 years after the geth war, the geth came to a consensus that they needed insight into the universe outside of the perseus veil. And to that end 10,000 geth programs were uploaded into a unique geth prime platform designed to communicate with organic life.
There wasn't a jolt of movement or a sharp intake of air when the unit activated. It was just that, an activation; with the gradual glow of its photo-receptor powering up.
It stood up to its full height, before surveying the room it was in. Disassembled platforms and parts lay atop counters around the room all laid out in a neat order. It looked down and brought up its hands slowly to look at them.
A very pointless gesture to the geth but this unit was needed to be able to communicate with organics and a consensus was reached that the unit that was sent be able to psychically and verbally communicate with organic life. Small gestures such as this one were vital to make the unit seem more organic and approachable.
It looked at the door briefly before making its way through. Navigating it's way through the dreadnought as if second nature. Past dormant platforms huddled around a geth access terminal and countless rooms until it finally reached a hangar bay.
Inside on one side there were a number of geth drop ships and collusi; and on the the other various vessels of different origin asari, turian, salarian and other races. All stripped down of their components.
And in the middle of the room sat a ship. By all accounts it appeared to be a turian assault destroyer. Just with a few added modifications. Elements of the surrounding ships have been incorporated into the design of the ship. May it be the armaments, the armour, the FTL drive, the Mass Effect field generators and almost everything else of the ship has been altered or changed.
Drones covered the ship in various places doing checks and other duties. The unit walked towards the ships under ramp. The ramp lowered with a soft mechanical hiss.
The unit proceeded on board and made its way to the bridge. When it arrived, it was greeted with an array of consoles and terminals. It looked to the captain's post and saw an addition to the ship. A geth access terminal that seemed to wired directly into the ship. Allowing for direct control of the ship or rather it allows the unit, to become the ship itself.
The unit stepped up to the terminal and linked itself with the ship. Systems started to activate and come on line. The ship started to hum with life. Lights flickered on and other various terminals and consoles aswell.
The ship was finally ready to take off. The drones retreated away from the ship and deactivated. Allowing the ship to depart at long last.
The ship slowly started to hover in the hangar before drifting forward out into space in orbit of the planet below... Rannoch, and finally towards the systems mass effect relay.
Using the extranet access from the ship, the unit sifted through countless amounts of data. Language, history, planets, systems, the dark net, news, porn, currency rates and so on and so forth.
After a brief consensus the unit deemed that the place most appropriate location to start. Would be in the terminus system, more specifically Omega.
