Hey guys I'm back with a new self insert and yes that does mean I'm not gonna update Birds of Prey


I sat in my unlit room staring at my laptop's screen; I had to get this I.T project done for school tomorrow.

Written on my word document was the title; Video Games can be a Good Influence.

My partner had the easier part of; Video Games can be a Bad Influence.

I checked my watch- it was half past one in the morning and my body was starting to feel the effects of staying awake for an extended period of time. I rubbed my temple and drunk my last can of red bull.

An idea came to mind and I started to type it out before I could forget it. I looked at my opening paragraph which read;

'Video Games can have a positive affect on people's lives. The Mass Effect series is a good example of this as it teaches the player conversational skills and the meaning of self sacrifice.'

I was about to start typing again, when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to see an Asari.

Wait... an Asari?... I was definitely suffering from sleep deprivation.

I took her hand off my shoulder and looked around, as I looked my walls started to vibrate and melt away revealing the beautiful vista of the Citadel. I was in a small grey room that had the trademarked balcony over looking the lake.

"Uh are you okay?" The Asari said in a timid- yet recognisable voice.

I should play along, it should help speed the hallucination up so I can get back in front of my laptop.

"What? Oh yes I'm fine, just a bit light-headed at the moment," I said.

"Ah yes, is it your first time on the Citadel?"

"Yeah, you could say that,"

"Well I'll tell you a secret, it is my first time here as well, it's all very exciting isn't it?"

"Very,"

"Well because you are here we can start the interview, as you should know I am Doctor T'soni and what is your name?"

Wait Liara? No wonder I recognised the voice. The game graphics hadn't given Liara much justice, she had her childish face like in the game yet she seemed more, well real and dare I say it, even good looking.

"Uh, William *******,"

"Nice to meet you Mr *******, once again because you are here you should know about the rumours of Prothean ruins under the surface of Therum."

"Yes and please call me Will,"

"I am going to prove these rumours correct and I need a team to help me, please refresh my memory, what position did you apply for?"

I heard a booming, metallic voice in my head.

"SECURITY," It screeched.

After it had said this I opened my mouth.

"Security," I immediately said.

"Ah yes, I can offer you the Chief position, based on your past experiences and the fact that the previous Chief of Security had an unfortunate accident yesterday,"

Previous Experiences, what's going on.

"YOUR PURPOSE WILL BE FULFILLED, ASSISTANCE HAS BEEN GIVEN, THIS TRANSACTION IS TERMINATED,"

"What sort of past experiences?"I asked.

"Don't act all modest," Liara said, "But you have worked security on twelve other jobs, ranging from privately funded to Alliance sponsored,"

"Oh yes, when are we leaving?" I asked.

"As you were the last one needed for the team we will leave in four hours, pack your bags and meet me on the presidium,"

I stood up from the table and held out my hand.

"Thank you for having me, Doctor T'soni,"

She shook my hand.

"Glad to have someone with your experience Chief *******,"

Okay the hallucination can finish now.

I carried on walking still expecting to wake up on my laptop. The door opened and I was still on the Citadel.

Then it dawned on me, maybe I was actually in Mass Effect. What would happen to me, what about my friends, my family.

I put my hand on my forehead- I would worry about them later, what I did need to worry about is what I was going to do now. I needed to team up with Shepard and my best bet was to go to Therum with Liara and hopefully survive the Geth attack.

I checked my person for any way of telling where I was staying. In my right pocket I found a credit chit and a key to an apartment labeled Z246. I lifted my left arm just to see if- a bright orange light enveloped my arm confirming the fact that I had an omni-tool.

I continued down the hall and found a large terminal, as I approached a figure flickered to life behind it.

"I am Mira how can I be of assistance?"

"Can you tell me the location of apartment Z246?"

"Location: Zakera ward, apartment block two, room forty six,"

"How can I get to the Zakera ward from here?"

"Use the rapid transit station to the left of this terminal,"

I turned and activated the rapid transit station and input my destination.

Shortly afterwards I was opening the door to my apartment. I was greeted by a relatively large room that had a couch and a TV visible. I explored the other rooms and found my bedroom which had a set of light armour, an avenger assault rifle and a predator pistol laid out on my bed. I got changed into the armour -which was uncomfortable at first but I quickly got used to it- and attached the weapons to the magnetic clips on my back and leg.

I checked my omni-tool and saw that it had taken me three hours to get here and get my armour on.

I spent an extra ten minutes packing some spare clothing and put the helmet of my armour in the bag as well. Then I threw the bag over my shoulder and made my way to my meeting place with Liara.

I arrived to find Liara by herself, she saw me approaching and waved hello.

"Where's everyone else?" I asked.

"They're all ready on board, we should be going," She said timidly as if she was trying not to me.

"Lead the way,"

Well then off to Therum we go!


Well hopefully this will do better than Birds of Prey and anyone who reads my 'Warhammer Bitesized' story I will be alternating between writing this and Bitesized.
