The Normandy would be halfway through a mass relay jump, it's sleek body radiating with pulses and waves of electrical energy that were originating from the ships main power source. Inside of the hull all manner of activities were going on, there were crew moving freely about the ship during their down time, engineers working away to keep the systems stable and troops down in the loading bay making sure all weapons were ready in the event of combat. Up in the cockpit a familiar face to the Normandy's crew was working away in a leather seat keeping the ship on track and making sure all reading were balanced and nominal.
"Board is green...engines are stable and...the new slip stream drive is operating at one hundred percent capacity, we're fully operational captain and should arrive outside of Ilium within the next half hour." EDI would call back through the ship, her body had changed over the years into something beyond amazing. Her metal shell was now covered with a synthetic skin like, she had implemented her own artificial hair and even manufactured her own 'realistic' eyes...in short along with several other upgrades EDI was now almost human. She was even wearing clothes now which included a cap that read 'Keep steady, true and laugh'. Sadly that was Jokers last gift to her before he'd retired and returned to his home world to be with his family.
"Roger that EDI thanks." A voice would reply softly and slowly making her way up to the cockpit was a woman dressed in Alliance gear, head to toe and even alliance tattoo's to boot. Though on her uniform her name tag read 'SR 10507 Amelia Shepard' this woman, this captain was the offspring of Shepard's love affair with Kaiden "Tech support.." She'd request while looking over to a console just to EDI's right "Any ideas on what we're picking up from our good friends down in the rubble?"
A small com channel would then open up with a female Turian holding the other end. "No idea captain, the egg heads down there say that it was supposed to help us against the reapers it even tore the planets beliefs in half." She'd add before she brought up a few images or a large stasis pod similar to the one that Amy's father found Javik in on Eden Prime. "Half of the planet is calling it 'Ardart Yervet' this translated to 'Demon of the high clouds'."
"And what about the other half?" Shepard would ask as she stood straight and folded her arms behind her back.
"They're calling it the new prodigy of the Asari race, some kind of new super warrior. It has three times the normal biotic capabilities of a Justicar and even says here that it's been in the making for over fifty plus years…"
"Why the pause Kirsan?"
"It also says here that the head of the operation is one Liara, she worked with your dad didn't she Amy?"
Amy would close her eyes at the statement and the lower her head a little as a single tear rolled down from her eye, over her cheek and down to her chin where it eventually dropped off. "Yeah…but I guess we'll see what we have after we land."
"Five minutes to landing Shepard, I'd recommend readying your armor and weapons." EDI would add as the Normandy pulled out of its slip space journey and entered orbit around the still beautiful plant of Ilium.
