I wake up in what to me looks like a swamp.

Wait, what? The Fuck?

Why would I wake up? No this shouldn't happen?

I died, didn't I? Then this….How?...Does this mean my atheism was not warranted? Does this means I was wrong for my entire life?

No, no, no, no. I shake my head. There's no way I'd survive what happened at the facility. So many things to kill me. The trauma of banging myself into equipment would have alone killed me. Blast in facility was a mathematical certainty. Partial vacuum exposure also there. Then there was gamma. I'd be badly irradiated. Even if I survived all that the Terrorist would have traced the source of surge and put lead in my head. And If I am here where's…BRAD….shit…Motherfucking shit can't be happening.

But was my Atheism for wrong for the past 21 years. I'd have to die. No way. No motherfucking wayyyyyyyy.

Calm yourself Ajay. Logical Fallacy. Must investigate further to draw conclusions.

I see around to find that the swamp is rather small and…Wait. What's that? Is that a…a…a…Gas bag. No way. I see around to notice some tree and rocks and only when the Gas bag is finally out of my sight do I notice that I still have my combat jacket on and the rifle hung at my back.

Well this rules out all the religion back home. I can't think of one that says about an afterlife swamp of…Gas Bags and which allows you to bring an assault rifle.

But suddenly the Gas Bag reappears and starts its slow…well…float? Towards me. I reflexively bring my rifle near me and THAW, THAW THAW THAW.

But as soon as I fire the first round the thing explodes.

No, no, no, no, this can't be right.

I….I..think I'm in ME universe. Motherfucking shit …May be coma of some sort …..No….

But this…..fuck…..Behnchot…..

And with this the world rotates around me and I black out again

I gain my consciousness thanks to the roaring sound that black thing hovering about a 150 meters from me makes. When I gain a clearer vision of what that thing I…

Wait, Shit…..It is …..It is Normandy.

I run over and hide myself behind a rock that I don't quite remember seeing in the game.

Fuck, Ajay. It doesn't matter. What matters is what to do now.

Okay. Now they look like Kaiden, Shep and Jenkins. Male Shep. Can't get his face though. His back's towards me. I trail his hiding a mere 10 meters behind him in a bush.

Wait they're kneeling down at the end of a trail. This means…shit. He's going to get killed. I…I have to stop this…..dammit.

As Jenkins starts to move forward I make the fiercest jump l have ever made in my life and tackle him to the ground and we fall behind a rock. I turn back just in time to see blue sparks on the rock behind us.

"The fuck was that?" his words are followed by a rather large report of shotgun fire. Hell this is more disorienting than it was in the game. This is followed by another sound though this time it's not from shotgun. I turn to see Shep with his sniper rifle and Kaiden with his shotgun out. Another Shotgun round and I can't see any blue sparks of death this time.

"Again, the fuck was that?" He says deeply annoying me.

"Well I you haven't noticed princess, I just saved your life." I comment

"Yeah, that was quick thinking on his part." says the commander

Well, hello Mark Vanderloo with Mark Meer's voice

"You don't look like local," says Kaiden "And you don't have equipment of a Militia man."

"I am not even from this planet," Was my answer that was met with nothing but raised eyebrows

"I was marooned here. Don't have time to explain and I don't know about you guys but THOSE looked like geth to me," I continue "If you guys are here for the beacon you won't find it."

"I was near the spaceport when the attack begin. I snuck past them till I saw you guys .The geth moved it there. And then they stuck up dead people on spikes. I even saw a marine fighting geth but couldn't stop to help her. Also there's a …Turian in grey armor and grey head leading the geth and another turian in black armor and brown face hunting them. I'll tell you its crazy down there,"

I come to rest analyzing what I just barked to three of them. Well If I didn't win Noble in real world maybe I'll win it here and now for making things up

"So can we get moving please?" I say "I have my weapons. Let's go"

"Well THAT looks…ancient," says Jenkins "You sure you can take geth out with THAT."

"Maybe. Maybe not. But it'll create distraction enough for you guys to exploit." I say

"True," the commander add "Come on. We'll talk as we move."

"You are Commander Shepard, Aren't you?" I ask

"That I am," he says "But I would like to find out how you snuck past the Geth?"

"It may have something to do with the fact that he has no tech on him whatsoever,"

Thank goodness for Kaiden "Not even an omnitool?"

"Well, I am Dr. Kumar." I say looking over to Jenkins

"I am Corporal Jenkins and He is Lieutenant Alenko," He says just before we see his shield shine up

Shit it's the geth drones again

I shoot at them with my rifle. Wait…What? It looks like I did some damage. Damn…that I didn't expect. And it provides enough distraction for Kaiden to shoot his shotgun, cock it and shoot it again to get them off my back.

"Is the brown turian friend of …..yuuv…..yours?" I gasp barely having enough breathe to say it

"I think he's talking about Nihlus," says Jenkins "Commander, should we warn him about this GREY TURIAN?"

"I think his name is Saren." I say

"Good Idea," Commander replies "Nihlus, Come in."

"What is it Commander?" says the sound emanating from the omnitool

"We met a loca…A person. He was at Spaceport when the attack began. He snuck past the geth and says that someone named Saren is leading the geth."

"That's preposterous commander. He's the most decorated spectre. Moreover he can't be here. How this local did knew he was Saren?" demands the voice

"I'd…recognized him from one of the vids. It's definitely him." I say

"Just keep your guard up Nihlus. In case you do find him assume hostilities." commander says

"Yeah that shoul-" Kaiden is interrupted as we here geth drones fire off at some distance behind the rock we were standing

We run over to find Ashley ducking behind a rock and a few geth of at the distance. Before I can think further Jenkins' assault rifle lights up. I run over to the other side and hide in one of the bushes. I hear shotgun, the sniper rifle followed by a volley from the assault rifle and two pistol shots. Wait, was that pistols. Geth don't use them. Yeah…..that must be Ash.

Fuck more are coming .I don't remember that. They start to fire up and move up. Fire up and move up. Fire up and move up. Fire up and move up. Shit…..They are trying to flank commander.

As soon as I get it my rifle goes to action. Wait…why aren't the kinetic barriers stopping the bullets. Fuck Ajay, it isn't like it matters. They aren't particularly bothered about a few lead pellets here and there.

But as I postulated before this does give commander enough time to commander to pick up on them. And then their combined force makes a rather quick work of them. Thank Hawking, I always knew weapons training would be useful. Just not in this motherfucking mind-boggling way.

And before I can run up to commander and the rest I see a lone geth sticking a guy on to Dragon's teeth. Oh my goodness. As I see the man on the tip of the spine rising up I feel something move up my guts and the next thing I know is a large pool of puke in front of me.

Phew…At least commander didn't see this

But DAMN this is gorier than it was in the game. Seeing blood leak out was one thing, but this….ugh…..His guts are literally dripping from that hole.

No time to think Ajay. Must catch up with commander

I run over to them as Ash says "Gunnery chief Ashley Williams of 212. My unit was ambushed sir. One minute we are patrolling the sector the next we are fighting for our lives. I don't…I got my squad killed."

"You hurt soldier?" commander demands

"A few scrapes and burns. Nothing medigel can't handle." she says

"I'm Commander Shepard. These three are with me," he says "Come on we need to get to the spaceport. Dr. Kumar here snuck behind the geth and knows their position," He adds tilting his head towards me "You know the way ahead, eh?"

"Yes Commander." I say
