The Secret Life of Commander Shepard:

A Dossier

Disclaimer: This author in no way profits from the writing of this story. All characters, dialogue, or other referenced material from the Mass Effect trilogy belongs to Bioware.

Commander Tempest Shepard is a psychotic biotic, terrible at tech, a notorious drunk, and the galaxy's last hope. If she were to look herself up in the Shadow Broker's files, what would she find?

This dossier follows her through the events of Mass Effect 2, and stars the same Shepard as 'Starlight'.

Keystroke Log:

I hate Cerberus, Mom. The Illusive man is like a bad guy from one of those old movies we watched when I was a kid. he's creepy and evil and has something weird going on with his eyes.

Mom, they were behind Akuze.

If I ever meet TIM face to face I WILL kill him. and enjoy it.

Before I died I shut down a bunch of cerberus projects and they were all terrible, too. thorian creepers, husks, rachni….. and Miranda has an excuse for every one of them.

I hate my Cerberus team members. Miranda is this bitchy Cerberus lapdog with a wierd old school Aussie accent. AND I CAN'T STAND HER! She's mean, and she's a buzzkill. She stripped the bar in the lounge, and i can't even tell you how much I need that bar right now.

And Jacob claims to have morals and stuff but he's basically a merc.

I

HATE

MERCS!

Shepard,

We weren't going to believe it, but we heard it on the extranet just after we got your message. You really are back. Losing you after losing sis… it was hard. We're glad to hear you're okay. Things are going alright with us. It's just good to hear from you.

Sarah, Lynn, and Abby

Keystroke Log:

Dear Mom,

I was wrong about Miranda. She's AWESOME!

Awesome to mess with, that is.

Don't worry, mom… I won't screw her up too bad.

No more than she deserves, anyways.
