You know, I never expected anything like this to happen to me. Sure I read about this stuff happening all the time between my tinkering sessions in the workshop, looking for inspiration for my next Big Idea(TM). But I never expected this to happen to me, or anyone, AT ALL. At least it allows me to through out all my theories where alternate universes can't exist because apparently they do.
So It was a dark and stormy night (It was, don't complain), when the power went out. This as you can imagine scared the shit out of me, worse than most because an extremely high dose of imagination and parents that think it's okay to force toddlers to watch Horror movies for shits and giggles. So I ran for the closes battery powered light, my laptop, and ran to the power breaker to see if the problem was on my end, it wasn't. So without power and my sleep deprived mind seeing facehuggers in the shadows, I ran for my bed and wrapped my self up like a caterpillar and fell asleep.
Apparently the world's broken somehow since this wasn't the first time something weird's happened around me, socks disappear to nowhere, Dr Pepper turning into Pepsi, drinking the pepsi only to find a empty Dr Pepper, birds moving back and forth like a lagging game! Well I woke up on my comfy mattress and my body was sore all over. Not in the normal way of "Ugh, time to rise from the dead" but "OH MY GOD MY BODY IS ON FIRE!" type of sore. I panicked, started cursing everything, and tried to move as much as possible because normally staying still just makes muscle pains last longer, when I noticed everything was larger . Then I noticed I was just much smaller and I panicked, again. I started screaming when I noticed my bed was outdoors, the ground was curving towards the sky, and I was surrounded by a group of non-humans. Then I blacked out.
I awoke in what I can only assume was a Medical Facility of some sort with doctors(?) running all over the place. Now that the initial panic was gone my first act was to curse natural evolution because why is fainting even a thing only to realize the other option is mental overload, so good job brain. The next thing was to recognize the various species as the ones from Mass Effect. Why Mass Effect? Who the hell knows, I certainly didn't. At least they're not that alien from humans. Sure they look weird, and the alternate dna thing but the point is they THINK like humans... mostly. I think we're a bit more random with our thoughts, which explains why the citadel races seam to be more specialized...let's get back on track.
I quickly began to notice that something was wrong since all I could hear were clicks, hoots, and wurbls so I realized I didn't have the translator Thingy from the game and began trying to ask for one only for a fancifully dressed asari to come over, bend down, and pat my shoulder in what I assumed was meant to be reassuring. Then her eyes go black, she wobbles for a few moments, and face plants into the (very soft) mattress. And that's where I began to notice something was VERY wrong before everything goes wonky and blacking out, AGAIN.
