Well this is my first mass effect story and I do not own mass effect in any way or Tron where I kind of stole a machine from my Shepard is based on my Shepard in the game

Chapter 1: Where the hell am I?

Just a few blocks away from the bioware headquarters to test a game that was coming out called Mass Effect, Rose started running towards it. Rose was just a few measly minutes from being late and she hated being late also the pass had told her to come on time or she wasn't able to play the game. Rose didn't know how that pass got under her apartment door but she wasn't going to spit in lucks face so quickly. She had been waiting for this game to come out for a couple months. When she made it to the building she was escorted to security and checked for recording devices which also meant her new phone had to be taken away. "It doesn't even have a camera on it." She thought.

A woman wearing a black suit asked her to show her pass to go in and asked what gaming system she most used she answered the Xbox 360. While she was being led to the gaming room Rose noticed that the woman had a cruel feature to her corporate people always freaked her out somehow. She was led to a square white room that could only be described to her as clean. The room contained only a flat screen TV and a green bean bag chair that had a remote control to the Xbox on it. Behind the chair on the wall was a black square hole but she didn't bother to mention it cause she didn't want to go through the "Its nothing thing" when it was really something. "It's just a camera probably used to record my reaction to the game" Rose rationalized.

Rose sat down on the bean bag chair and turned on the Xbox and stared customizing her character which she named after herself but sadly she couldn't change the last name Shepard. Her Rose Shepard looked like the opposite of her instead of Rose's long brown hair and brown eyes Shepard had short red hair and blue eyes and with full lips with black make-up that was barely noticeable but showed off her eyes. Rose also chose her character to be a vanguard with the colony life where her parents had died in a slave trade incident and she lived through it and she chose war hero where she saved her entire squad. When she started playing the game, Rose was upset that Jenkins had to die so early in the game. She was completely terrified of the husks they looked like the zombies her older sister had shown her in a movie to give her nightmares when she was a kid. She didn't know what to think of Ashley she seemed like a nice person but too shoot now ask later types. She was pretty sad when Nihlus died and kind of wanted revenge but she was going to stay on the paragon path. When she made it to the beacon and pushed Kaidan out of the way she felt the most intense pain in her head and red images that looked like they were drenched in blood came into her mind. The images showed people but they didn't look human they were being slayed by something but it was hiding in what seemed the corners of her mind. Rose kept trying to scream but was falling and trying to move towards the direction of the door but something was stopping her from moving and passed out.

"Wait I think she's waking up." Someone said

Rose got up from the bed and felt pain through her head. She looked around and saw two people standing near her one was a woman with gray hair and the other was a man that looked like Kaidan Alenko from Mass Effect and she realized she was in a very futuristic room.

"Easy Commander" The man said.

"How are you feeling Commander?" The woman said which Rose assumed that she was the doctor.

"I have a minor headache and minor throbbing in my arm but otherwise fine." Rose said trying to regain her composer

"Which arm Commander I could give you something" The doctor said taking out a long silver case

"No need to I'm feeling better already." Rose whimpered after rediscovering her fear of needles she brushed her hair behind her ears when she noticed that her hair was shorter and red.

"Give me a mirror now please." She whispered

The man which she assumed now was the actual Kaidan rushed off and brought her a mirror. She looked at the face that looked back at her a blue eyed woman wearing black make-up stared back at her.

"Where the hell am I?" Rose yelled.

"You're on board the Normandy Commander" Kaidan said "you passed out after you pushed me out of the way of the beacon."

There were no words to describe what she was feeling now. "This is just a dream I will wake up in a normal hospital in Seattle it's just the drugs they gave me and this is lucid dream." Rose thought but she knew the truth but for now she only wanted this to be a dream and nothing else.

So tell me what you think please and criticism is welcome there was also a shout out to where I live. review
