Chapter one.
Discovery.
"That's the last of them." Jack said as she lowered her shot gun. Around her were dozens of dead bodies. Batarian, Turian and human alike. The blue suns mercenaries all lay dead on the floor. A testament of Jack's fierce strength.
Shepard came around the corner with the Asari Justicar known as Samara. Shepard looked around at the dead bodies and shook her head with a smirk. Jack was strong, and she was glad that she was on her team.
It had been two months since the attack on the Collector base. Luckily, Shepard's whole team survived the mission. She was well prepared before heading into it and she made sure btoh ehr ship and hear teammates were fully equipped and prepared for the final fight. They all proved their strength and loyalty in the final mission. They were able to rescue their crew memberes and defeat the collectors putting a strain on the Reaper's plans. But, her job wasn't finished yet. They still needed a way to defeat the Reapers, and Shepard wouldn't stop until she found out how. Or died, which ever came first.
" Alright, check the crates and see what we can salvage. Then we're getting the hell out of here." Shepard said as the other two nodded and moved to find anything useful or of value. Shepard's omni tool scanned the nearby technological equipment, while Jack ripped the top of crates off with the help of her biotics and Samara examined the surrounding area.
Stopping in front of an elevated stone with a broken crate on it Samara could see something glowing. Getting closer she was curious to see what it was. It was changing colours. "Commander, I think I've found something." Samara said without taking her eyes off of the object in front of her.
Shepard and Jack made their way over to where Samara was. Shepard looked at the object in front of them curiously. Shepard had never seen anything like it before.
"Any idea what it is?" Jack asked putting her shotgun on her back as she squatted down next to the glowing object.
"No idea." Shepard answered.
" The crate reads ' Plasmid '. " Samara informed them as she looked at a piece of the broken crate that was labeled.
"Never heard of a plasmid before." Shepard said taking a deep breath. " Well bring it abord the Normandy and run a few tests on the glowing liquid inside. Could be important." she said. " Joker, we're ready for pick up."
"Copy that Commander, decreasing altitude and locking in on your signature." Joker replied over the comm chanel.
"Alright, let's find out what so special about this." Shepard said as she reached down to pick up the object marked plasmid. However, when she did something unexpected happened. The area around them flashed many different colours and the light grew bigger and bigger until they were blinded. Then, when the light died down, they were gone.
Aboard the Normandy..
" Jeff. I have lost the positioning of the Commander as well as Jack and Samara." E.D.I the artificial intelligence installed on the Normandy informed Joker, the pilot.
"What? That's impossible. There must be something interferreing with the connection." Joker said. " Normandy to shore party, come in shore party." he spoke through the comm channel waiting for an answer. After a few minutes of radio silence he tried again. " Shore party come in." Nothing. " Come on Commander this isn't funny! Answer me!" he shouted, clearly frustrated.
"What is it? What's going on?" Miranda asked rushing into the cockpit.
"It's Shepard. We can't get a hold of her. All of their com links won't work and we've lost any signal of them." Joker explained.
"Get down there, I'll go in with a team. " Miranda said as Joker nodded and brought the Normandy down.
