Ch. 1 New Places and Problems.

Commander John Shepard has seen and done many things. Stopping the Collectors, Reapers, and putting the best team known to the galaxy. So what does someone like him do after all that? Explore a newly found mass relay of course.

"Joker, what can you tell me about this relay we're looking at." Shepard and the team are looking at a hologram of it in the briefing room. Unlike most relays or the Omega 4 relay, this one was a bright gold color, and the zero core is white not blue.

"Beside how cool it looks. Not much else, Commander." Joker's tone is full of joy at seeing this relay. "Better then the dull look on the others."

EDI added a surprising note to this. "Commander, this relay was not built by the reapers. It shows signs of being built only a few hundred years ago. And it is not powered by normal Element Zero."

Everyone is just shocked about this. Zaeed is the first to speak, "You're bloody joking, right? How can this not be powered by element zero? Or even a new relay?"

"Unknown. However, the metals are not matching any that are known for a mass relay. We may found the answer to all this on the other side."

Tali shakes her head, "No way! I say we wait for something to come to us first. This could be a trap made by the Geth. Uh, sorry Legion." Tali quickly adds turning to the geth next to her.

"We understand creature Tali. We feel that this is an unsafe course of action, and best to wait for a ship to exit on this side of the relay." Legion is the only geth that joined the Normandy Team. And has shown just how different the geth really are.

Shepard just lets them talk thinking about the best course to take, when Garrus speaks up. "I say we go and look around. It can't be a trap at all." This earns him a look from Jack, Grunt, and Miranda. "Just think about for a moment. Why build a relay and leave it out here, and a hundred years ago at that. It's something else, and no trap like this would've gone unseen for this long."

Shepard just nods his head, "Right. I'm with Garrus on this, and willing to risk it."

"Hell, yeah!" Jack almost yells. "I'm tired of waiting for something to happen. Let's make it happen for a change."

"I'll say this, Jack. I agree with you for once." This stops Jack in her tracks, and stares bug eyed at Miranda. "Surprised? Don't be Jack. I've been feeling a little cabin fever to, and need to do something before I die from boredom." Grunt just laughs as the two friends share a good laugh. "This is why I stay here. I like the people, and I feel a clan's heart beat on this ship."

Even Shepard just laughs a bit, knowing just how true it is. "All right then. EDI, go to stand by on the weapons."

"Roger, Commander." EDI quickly brings the Normandy to battle ready.

"Joker, take us in. And show us again why you're the best pilot ever."

"Hold no to your socks everyone. It's show time!"

As Joker bring the Normandy in to run along the mass relay. The team gears up and heads to where Joker is to watch as they are launched to a new world. As they pass the relay a bolt of white lighting reaches out and touches the ship. Like a cannon it blasts them across light-years of space, and then it's twin catches them. EDI scans the system for worlds that are close by, and finds a surprise.

"Shepard, there's a world that has earth like signs and is showing an early 21st first century living levels. But is very clean environment, and the life-forms are not human." Everyone just says one thing all at once. "WHAAAAAAT!"
