Mass Effect: Infamous
Prologue
**Interval 3**
Virmire, Hoc System.
Krogan Genophage Cure Facility
Nuclear Explosion Epicenter
The crater still has traces of embers from fires that simply refused to die out. What's left of the facility is smoldering. Nearly all of it gone, no longer of any importance, it lies forgotten except for a few scavengers, pirates and monitors.
Today was no different, a lone scavenger, a human, had decided, against the advice of his cohorts, to trek closer to the blast site then most others would. Hoping that there would perhaps be some scrap of treasure.
As he dug approached the crater, he felt a tingling along his hairs and spine, as though electricity was coursing through him. The armor he had donned to keep out the radiation was affected too by whatever had caused the feeling. Replicating the effects in his helmet feeds and systems. In fear, the scavenger turned and fled in panic.
Inside the crater however, electricity from an unknown source began to arc around where the nuclear bomb had been. The energy kept arcing; draining whatever poor was in the vicinity, from the scorched remains of the facility, to the suits and ships of the pirates and scavengers. Unless it was in orbit, its power was drained. Until a sphere started to form, only a few inches in diameter, but it grew as it kept drawing power, slowly, until it was 50 feet in diameter. Then it collapsed within seconds. Leaving a man hanging in the air, where the highest tip of the sphere had been. Who soon fell to the ground.
The man had on simply gray and white shirt. With tattoos on both his arms, more on his right. He had a sling bag, and held to it by simple straps were two rods, connected to a bar and another rod.
By all rights a man who should be dead, breathed.
