Sins of Matris

She gasped suddenly as she felt consciousness fill her mind again. Her sight however was blurred and she couldn't feel her limbs. She was alive though. The memories were hazy. The hiss and sounds of medical equipment surrounded her. Where was she? What was going on? She tried to remember. Blackness. Emptiness. She heard voices coming from a distance but she couldn't move.

So the boss wants us to fix her again because why again? I guess I just can't believe that Cerberus has the funds for doing something like this again. The Illusive Man emptied most the organization into building an army and research to controlling all the husk The Lazarus Project with Shepard costs us over what? Something like four billion in credits.."

That name... Shepard... Why did it sound so familiar? Another man's voice continued the conversation.

I dont know. Its more than just her biotics though. It has something to do with her genetic makeup. Its rare or something in the Asari. Gibson has a write up on it. Talking about the next step in the species evolution process and whatnot. Ardat-Yakshi or something like that...

Her mind screamed hearing the term "Ardat-Yakshi" Demon of the Night Winds, she knew what it was. But everything still seemed so blank.

Still they wait to revive her? I just mean given her background? Seems like a bad idea.

She could feel chemicals flowing again. They were doing something with the IV equipment next to her. The machine beeped a few more times and the burning sensation of chemicals erupted through her arm. Moving however was futile nor could she speak to even scream for relief from the agony.

Hey, I dont ask questions. Human, Asari, Vorcha. I'm getting paid. At least with the data from the Lazarus Project we shouldn't need to be on this for two years. Plus we have all the data from Grayson to deal with reversing what's been done to her already. The Reaper threat is basically over. Only a few of those things survived the Crucible weapon. Those are all the way out on the outer rims. We should be able to get back to research without impending doom of the species looming over us.

The second man grumbled a bit before moving off again. She could feel the haze taking back over as the drugs filled her mind. Sleep... Sleep would bring back more memories.

Mother... I cant chose to stop being your daughter, Mother.

The scream echoed in the back of her mind.
