Without further ado!
Enjoy the story!
"We understand, we shall depart this Laboratory shortly" Well, their ship sure is there if you can call something the size of a escape pod a ship, the problem is that there's a LOKI Mecha in the corridor, or I think so, it's hard to say with my double vision.
You'd think that I'd have it figured out by now, but no. This all is beyond my comprehension as of now, but I digress again, there's a Mecha to deal with. I sure hope that the platform I'm traveling with has some kind of a g- yep, that's a shotgun, alright.
"So uh… How do we deal with this?" I half-whisper, I have no idea if the LOKI is facing us or not, damned vision.
"We believe that you may act as a distraction for us, so we can take that care of the LOKI" I nod at this. Wait up, me? A bait? Fine, seems like they don't really care about me, which is sad…. I sure hope I'll live long enough to kick the Buckeye's metal ass on the ship… or should I call it shuttle? Whatever.
I take a ragged breath and ask a very serious question "Is it facing us or no?"
The look the Geth gave me is priceless… I think "We believe that the Mecha is currently facing our transport vehicle" I nod at this and start dashing forward.
I have no idea what I had hoped to achieve by it, I have no god damn shields and my… uh… body, yeah, body. It is, well, let's just say that I should be taking baby steps, not full out go dashing. Halfway through my dash I just collapsed, dragging the LOKI's attention, the Geth must've hid… either that or it was a stalker unit, who knows.
Next thing I know is LOKI Mecha standing above me and aiming it's gun at me, this seems familiar someho-*BANG*... God praise the power of shotguns, the Mecha collapses without a head revealing a Geth unit behind it "The distraction was proven useful, good work Hybrid" It simply states, at which I just shrug "You know, tryin' my best here"
After a brief looting, Who knew that LOKI Mecha can carry a multi-tool? Anyhow, from what the Geth said the Multi-Tool I found was being delivered by the LOKI somewhere… eh, who'd look at that when you're trying to get away from a laboratory where you've been brought back to life and possibly experimented on, am I right?
Digressing again, but we're on the ship/shuttle/pod thing now. Well, it sure is time to take a look at myself.
Hmm, first I need to disable the viewing mod-… okay, it's disabled, no idea how I did it. So yeah good thing I've found a mirror, what do I see…
Red and blue eyes, and body consisting of normal skin, where are the synthetic parts? I turn around to reveal that yes, it is indeed a hospital gown or something that leaves my back places bare, the most unnerving thing is the concentration of metal on my back… and the occasional twitch it gives, almost like it has a mind on its own.
"Hey, Buckeye I don't suppose you have data on what's on my back, do you?" I ask, some info is better than none.
"We indeed have the information, It appears to nest a set of three arms. Each one with different utility, from the information in the laboratory we can be 100% sure what only two of them are." Monotone... I die a little every time he uses that monotone voice of his.
"And… they are?" I ask, encouraging him to continue.
"One is a hacking port, with quote 'Ability to jam it into anything and then let the tool do the dirty work and directly connect' end quote. " Well, That quote sure was interesting. "The second is a set of clamps able to lift three times your weight" That's something… but won't my legs give up under the weight anyway? "But do not be alarmed, it was specially designed to lift only three times your weight to avoid your enhanced legs to give under the stress." That answers that then, nice.
"What do we do till we reach Eden Prime then?" I casually ask… as casually as you can ask in that situation.
"Approximately 24 earth hours, our newest calculations indicate that we will not make it in time, we wish for you to start training in use of your body, Hybrid."Uh, yeah… he has a point. I don't want to fall face-first when meeting Shepard now, do I?
Approximately 24 hours later
Okay… that shit was intensive, and I still have no idea how do I even work, I'll let Chawkas figure this one out. If I manage to get on Normandy, I hope I will.
After a moment we're on Earth… Eden Prime… Whatever, but I have a bad feeling about this as the Geth just shoved a sniper rifle and a shotgun in my arms "We will now leave you, we hope you a safe adventure." This!... Ugh, I'll never understand what drove him to do that. Anyhow! Eden Prime! Adventure and all! If I remember correctly the Turian spectre, Nihilus his name was? Dies somewhere.
After what seems like an endless time of walking I finally arrive at the place where, guess it, where Ashley Williams is found originally… I hope that I did not forgot to mention that the Geth gave me some cheap Second-Hand… or even Third-Hand grade Mercenary Armor? Yeah, he did it, at least I got a powerful Shield Generator. So yeah, I see Ashley being pinned down by Get- ugh, Heretics.
So I do what everybody would do, turn tail and run… nope, but I wish I could. Instead I just take aim with the sniper rifle and make use of the Synthetic within me to take all of them down, but it came with a drawback, I'm nauseous now. And where is the Live Feed anyway? I hope that Buckeye wasn't shot down, It'd be kind of sad.
I snap back to reality as I go walk to Ashley, yep, gun pointed at my head, this is just sad now, is it the third or fourth time now? But I still raise my hands, better to play it safe "Whoa there, pretty girl, I doubt you want to kill your savior now, hmm?" God please let this Ashley have some humor, I don't want to die… so soon.
"You're in Mercenary Armor, How can I be sure that you're not working with them?" Well, Solid logic… "How about that, I'm not synthetic and these were Heretic Geth that want to kill all Organics? Hmm?" oh… shit… I didn't blow it by saying Heretic Geth now. Did I?
"Heretic Geth? What are you? Seven? Everyone should know that Geth are some freaks that cannot betray one another or some shit like that." Uh… landmine alert!
"I… guess? But I was living under a rock, you know..." God damn it, I totally did not expect for my awkwardness while speaking to girls from my Home to transport with me… Ugh, this is a disaster already, I can smell it in the air, either that or something died in this suit.
I look behind her, the relief washes over me, saved by commander Shepard, even though… hmm… yes, that's some womanly attributes right there, even though she didn't do anything yet.
She looks at both of us, seems like Ashley did some Alliance salute, hmm, maybe I should too? Uh oh, Sheppard is seizing me up now.
"And you both are?" She asks… God, that 'Commander' tone of her, it sends chills down my spine. I look at Ashley, in hopes that she will introduce herself first. Nope, she's looking at me too, Quick! Think of a name! Anything really… guh…. Erm… No idea, that's shitty.
"Gunnery Chief, Ashley Williams, Member of unit 212, They are all dead, Ma'am." Whew, but that leaves me. I have no bloody idea what to do… Ugh!
"Uh… Omega, Former…" Come on… think of something! "Former C-Sec" Great, just Great! Brilliant Idea! This is really ba- "Commander Shepard, and this is Lt. Alenko. We need more firepower, I hope that you both are willing to help us fight the Geth." Yes! This is brilliant, finally.
"Yes, ma'am." I say with Ashley in Unison, that sure sounded creepy.
And so I joined at least temporarily in the Shepard's ranks, Ashley and Alenko are looking at me like I'm some kind of criminal… oh wait… that cheap armor, today will indeed be a long day.
