Summary: The Collectors took him against his will, they changed him, and now he will find out who he was with the help of a certain Commander and his crew.

A/N: This is the first story i plan to go long term with so be easy. This story is basically a first person of a man who was taken and turned into a collector but he kept his head. That's what i'm aiming for at least. This is 1st person, by the way.

Prologue

Darkness. I was floating in it for the longest time I could remember. it was, to be blunt, boring. Then, out of nowhere, a flash of light.

I was outside. there was a woman next to me and we stared up at a strange ship descending and black cluster of what like insects coming straight towards us.

A loud speaker boomed in the background, "All colonists get inside and lock and close all doors and windows, repeat, lock all doors and windows!" an alarm followed.

Me and the woman did so very quickly and then, we heard the screams of the people and the buzzing of the bugs. Sometime later, there was banging and scraping at the door. The door gave way and a giant bug looking creature stormed through, I jumped to my feet and took a defensive position in front of the woman determined to protect her with all my might. The bug charged me and i charged back, then I decked I with my right hook, it looked unfazed, it grabbed my throat and lifted me high. I kicked and tried to scream but all was in vain, then it clubbed me on the back of my head with its claw. Before I blacked out I heard the muffled screams of the woman being carried away and a bug monster, but he was....glowing?

"You will do." was all he said.

I woke up slowly in what looked like a cut up cocoon. 'Where am I?, What am I?, and more importantly, Who am I?' Then I realised that I was....different, from how I looked in the dream, I looked and felt inhuman. I looked more alien, more.....like those bug things! What did they do to me?! I can't even remember anything! Let alone my own name! I needed to calm myself.

My head whipped up to the sound of gun fire, it was far away but I ran towards it anyway. I was running faster than I could I imagine and I caught up to the gun fire in record time. It was an armored man, a woman in uniform, and a turian in a blue suit. They were backing up to ship while firing at a troop of those bug looking creatures.

My gut told me that they were the only way out, so I hugged the wall and darkness past the gun fire to make my way to the small ship. I got to the ship and clung to the ship with new found strength while the group climbed into the ship. the ship took of and i held on surprisingly well and then I realised I could breathe in space! I felt like was meeting someone for the first time, you know that strange feeling of not knowing what to do.

The next thing I know the ship is being picked up by another huge ship with NORMANDY on the side in bold letters. The ship docked and the group filed out of the ship.

The person who I suspect was their commander said "You are free until further notice."

They all left the docking bay and I clasped myself off the back of ship, then I realised how weak I felt. So I found a couple a crates to lay down behind and let the darkness embrace me again.

A/N:Ok, i'm can't really fit in what he looks like so look at my profile picture to get the idea. let me know what you think! R&R

Til next time,
