Here is the next chapter, I haven't abandoned anything so all you readers can stop worrying. I've ran into some minor problems in HP and the Veela but I have it all figured out. Just some minor details I wish to revise and improve before submitting. I've played the Citadel DLC and it was…good. Not what I'd expected but it was good. I had to change some things around due to Jason.
I need more reviews, if I'm not doing something correctly, I know what I'm doing wrong so I can improve. I count only 7 reviews for two chapters. I must say that is a bit pitiful so please review. I want to increase the reviews I get for some of the stories I have written to a level where I think are acceptable. I won't upload any other stories till the reviews for this one increase.

Chapter 2: Deal with the Devil
Location: Crescent Nebula, Tasale System, Illium, Nos Astra, Commercial Spaceport
Illium was a planet filled with deceit and corruption in contrast to its sleek and beautiful appearance. It lies on the fringes of Citadel space, right on the border to the Terminus Systems. Like any planet in the Terminus, everything but violent crime to an extent was considered legal. As the shuttle spacecraft landed onto the docks of Nos Astra, the illuminating and busy capital, a lean and tall man deftly placed the hood of his long coat over his head.
Exiting the shuttle, Jason Shepard finally had the chance to get a first close look at Illium. Looking around, one could easily identify Nos Astra housed only the galaxy's richest, most powerful individuals. A glorious sanctuary on the outside, though behind its façade, Jason knew Illium was as deadly as Omega with the difference of the former being dolled up.
Navigating the beautifully designed hallways, the Alliance lone wolf made his way past the reception lounge where an Asari receptionist was talking with an earpiece about docking fees and procedures. He activated his Omni-tool and uploaded a map of his surroundings. He quickly spotted the location of the Eternity Bar mentioned from his unknown contact.
Alert and vigilant, he made his way easily past the numerous stalls, stock exchange monitors and the large crowds that surrounded them. He saw a sign that was written: Eternity. As the sleekly designed electronic door opened as soon as he walked close enough, Jason began surveying everything before him as he walked in. He had no idea who or what this contact was.
Due to it being daytime, there weren't exactly a lot of customers to start with. He saw an Asari dancer dancing on a table where a group of Turians was sitting. Turning his head, he saw a group of humans dressed in docking uniforms laughing and drinking their drinks as he made his way to the bar where an Asari was bartending a Drell dressed in a dark fitting leather outfit.
Jason carefully noted as he sat down on a stool that the Drell was monitoring him, similar to the way he was surveying him. Judging by the posture of the Drell and his meticulousness, Jason concluded that he was no simpleton.
"Must be a highly trained merc." Jason noted on the back of his head.
"So, Mr. Mysterious…what can I get you hon?" The Asari asked as she approached his end of the counter. Jason noted the Asari bartender's voice was considerably low.
"Seeing that it's only daytime, Club Soda please." Jason replied with a slight smile.
"I'll have the same." An indifferent, feminine tone suddenly spoke out next to him. The Asari acknowledged it and returned Jason's friendly smile before going about making his drink with elegance and grace. Jason immediately brought his guard up as the gears in his mind began cranking and his body was alert.
"Well here I am…" Jason started sarcastically as he smiled his thanks to the Asari bartender as his drink was placed in front of him. "What now?"
Turning his head, Jason was met with a determined gaze by one of the most beautiful women he'd ever set his sights on. Creamy, white smooth skin, cherry red lips, a flawless, actress like face, ice cold blue eyes and long dark brown hair. She was wearing a black and white catsuit, which accentuated her womanly assets to perfection.
"I could start by informing you who I work for or you can tell me, how does a graduate of the prestigious Harvard University end up working in the military?" The gorgeous woman next to him asked.
"Hmmph, Don't you already have all that information?" Jason replied nonchalantly.
"Fine, I'll humor you on this one." He turned to face the femme fatale. "I wanted to make a difference and I felt that fighting was the best way to achieve it." He stared unflinchingly at the woman next to him, who'd stare back.
"So, who are you playing messenger for?" Jason asked as he took another sip of his drink.
"My name is Miranda Lawson and I work for an organization called Cerberus." Miranda stated with a cold gaze and Jason tensed. Experimentations with thresher maws immediately came up in his mind amongst other horrors as he heard the name of the pro-Human organization.
"Despite what you think of Cerberus, we are not your enemy here and we don't want to be." Miranda said softly as she leaned closer to Jason, who, if was concerned about his private space being invaded, gave no indication.
Her words brought back the images of Saren, Sovereign and the human husks on Eden Prime. An old ideal immediately came to his mind, "The lesser of two evils." Jason was inwardly, a mess, Cerberus was an enemy of the Alliance and the Citadel Council, it was true that he was no longer with the Alliance so he technically cannot be named a traitor but could he really sell his soul? And go back behind his beliefs? What would his parents and John think when they found out?
But on the other hand, nobody was willing to do anything and no doubt the Citadel council and Systems Alliance will no doubt dismiss the threat and do nothing. It was to this thought that he responded, "I offer my allegiance because there's no alternative and I care only about one thing, can it be done?"
The woman's blue eyes narrowed as she stared back as if she had been slapped, and activating her Omni-tool, she then sent him the details.
His eyes widened but only momentarily as renewed faith and hope filled him, looking up at the brunette he smirked. "I'm all yours, take me to your boss."
Finishing their drinks and leaving an appropriate amount of credits on the counter, as well as a generous tip, Miranda led Jason out of the bar.
As she did so, Miranda surveying the newest recruit as they walked towards the docks, it could have been a lot more difficult to persuade the skilled infiltrator and from her observations, he seemed to be unmoved by her beauty and seducing attempts, which has never failed before and she had mixed emotions regarding to it. As they neared a private dock, there was a Cerberus Kodiak shuttle waiting for the duo.
"For reasons unknown to me, the Illusive Man has decided that he wants to meet you face to face." Miranda said as they approached the shuttle.
"Let me guess, this is the part where you're going to make a threat and then proceeding, you're going to blindfold me and drug me?" Jason tilted his head while in his right hand was placed on the M-5 Phalanx pistol that was in it's holster.
"Not exactly. Certain precautionary measures will be taken due to your background. Your reaction to our organization was still an unknown factor then. You combat skills and biotics make you an impressive foe but even you can't defeat an entire army by yourself." Miranda stared back at him and smiled frostily though inwardly she was impressed. The man never stopped observing and adapting though she deducted that he had to due to his preference of working alone.
The Illusive Man had commanded her to win his trust over gently and that included not incapacitating him in times such as this, despite the significant difficulty in such a task, failure was certainly not an option and Miranda was determined to get this man over to Cerberus' side. She smirked and walking to the shuttle and boarded it.
Jason, with narrowed eyes, followed suit. Strapping himself to a seat, flanked by two fully armored Cerberus soldiers, both outfitted with M-96 Mattock riffles who gave him no acknowledgement, Jason merely stared at Miranda who gave the pilot instructions through a comm. before turning back and meeting Jason's gaze. Silence filled the interior of the shuttle as Jason merely turned his gaze outside.
There was certainly no turning back now. His fate was sealed.

Location: Serpent Nebula, Boltzmann System, Bekenstein, Shepard Residence
Hannah Shepard massaged her temples as she sighed, Jason's note in her hands. Normally calm, she panicked when she woke up to a letter on her bedside table and her son was missing. She had received a video call earlier from Admiral Hackett and the man was furious at the resignation note that was handed to him.
"Hannah! Just what the hell is going on?!" Wasting no time, Hackett thundered as Hannah accepted the call and a holo image of the Admiral appeared.
"What's the matter?" Hannah asked, confused.
"Your son has resigned from the Systems Alliance! That's the matter!" Hackett answered furiously. Hannah was wide eyed as she listened on, this wasn't mentioned in his letter to her.
"I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for this." She defended her son, though Hackett was on a rampage.
"Reasonable?! Need I remind you of the casualty inflicted on us when Sovereign and the Geth attacked the Citadel?"
Hannah bit her lip, but forcefully swallowed an insult as she grounded out, "No sir."
"Then he should know that the Alliance needs one of its best soldier, now more than ever as we rebuild. Not gallivanting around." Hackett pressed on.
"Sir, Steven…we're still in mourning. Please…I'm sure he'll come around soon." Hannah replied softly and Hackett's gaze softened as he cleared his throat uncomfortably.
"My…apologies, for intruding…but my point remains, I am not accepting his resignation." Hackett emphasized his point as he gave a brisk nod before disconnecting.
Jason was just like his father and her husband, Ben. Always wanting to do everything on his own because he didn't want to drag anyone down with him. Both Hannah and Ben came from a military background thus their parents had encourage them and not discourage when they started to date. This had brought back a lot of memories, which she longed to not reminisce, as they brought nothing but pain, and sadness.
Slowly, she reached for a silver framed photo sitting next to her, on a sofa side table and stared deeply into the picture encased within, it was one of John and Jason with their young sister Jennifer. All of them looked so happy. Tears began dripping down her hard, weathered face as Hannah held the photo close to her chest.

Location: Horsehead Nebula, Anadius System, Cronos Station
Jason's calm demeanor remained unchanged as he caught glimpses of the enormous burning star. It was shining brightly as it was violently, a magnificent sight and wonder. His blue eyes narrowed as a sleek and vertically prolonged structure came into view.
"Nice hideout you've got here, very remote and Anadius' an added dramatic bonus." Jason smirked as the shuttle slowly approached the structure.
Miranda merely stared back coldly at him as her eyes narrowed at his unsubtle insult. As the shuttle finally came to a full stop, and into a spacious hanger, Jason never lost his smirk. He knew that no harm would come to him, though it was not spoken, but Cerberus needed him on their side.
As he disembarked the shuttle, the barrels of numerous Mattock riffles greeted Jason as his welcoming escort arrived.
"This is nothing personal, just security and protection." Miranda informed him, which caused him to smile slightly.
"Twenty soldiers against me…I'm honored. I gave you my word, didn't I?" Jason smirked, crossing his arms.
"Unfortunately, people can change rather easily," Miranda stared straight into his eyes, "Now relinquish your weapons…they will be returned to you after your meeting with the Illusive Man."
Not seeing a alternative choice, Jason slowly raised a gloved hand and drew his Black Widow from his shoulder and handed it to a fully armored Cerberus soldier, next was his M-5 Phalanx pistol from his waist holster. And finally his grandfather's combat knife that was attached to the side of his right boot, with that gone, a soldier brought a small scanner and after it was clear that he was clean, Miranda motioned for Jason to follow her, with the armed Cerberus soldiers slightly behind them.
"One move…" Miranda warned the man next to him who merely remained emotionless.
"Relax. I have no intention of trying anything and besides, we need each other." He replied tersely and flipped his hood back, smiling slyly as they entered an elevator once leaving through a door and leaving the docks behind. From what little information he could gather, Jason could infer that the station was very much like a labyrinth and if not careful, getting lost would be easy. Jason noted that his armed escort didn't follow in.
"There will be another group escorting us to the Illusive Man's office once we get off the elevator." Miranda responded his unanswered question as the elevator slowly ascends.
"So, while we're waiting here, I might as well get to know you better, how did you turn out to work for Cerberus?" Jason asked while leaning towards one side of the elevator wall.
Smirking, Miranda turned around, "Why the sudden interest?"
Jason raised an eyebrow in response, "Well, no doubt you have every bit of my life memorized to the tiniest details. I figured it'd be only fair."
"Quite perceptive of you. Fair enough, the Illusive Man saw my potential and I was recruited by Cerberus at a very young age, in addition I've had extensive genetic modification." She answered and Jason could barely, just barely notice that there was a bitter difference in the tone of her voice not that he was surprised, everyone's got something to hide.
"I'm surprised Cerberus is recruiting children now, they seem even more desperate than I had previously thought." Jason thought, leaning back as the elevator came to a stop.
"If you don't mind me probing, what sort of modifications?" He asked, intrigued. People who can afford it, could undergo genetic modifications to improve themselves. Eyes sight correction, removal of genetic defects, increased health were basics. He himself, had far superior eyesight to any human due to his profession and his biotic implants were uniquely designed for him.
"It's very in-depth, in the physical sense, I'm superior in many ways. I heal quickly and very likely, I'll live half again as long as the average human. My biotics are also very advanced…" Miranda demonstrated as her gloved palm glowed blue before it evaporated. "And much like yourself, with some of the best training and education money can buy…" She finished. Silence filled the elevator as Jason digested what was said.
"Well, you certainly are blunt about it." He stated blandly, meeting Miranda's blue eyes with his own.
"It's merely a fact. Every thing about me was designed to give me an edge. From my looks to my strength, no point in not accepting it." She responded and placed a hand on her hip. Jason merely nodded with acknowledgement before turning his head away. Miranda's eyes narrowed, no, Jason Shepard certainly wasn't your average brawler. Few could resist her charms or the temptation to check her out, his ability to focus was certainly impressive.
"So tell me, is Cerberus military or political?" The sniper asked out of the blue.
"Cerberus has numerous divisions: political, military and scientific but there is only one purpose. Not all Cerberus operations use the same protocols. Bureaucracy or formality is something we wish to avoid." The beautiful operative explained.
"And that purpose?" Jason asked as they stepped out of the elevator and heavily armored soldiers greeted them.
"The advancement of the human race, it's that simple." Miranda simply replied.
"I know Cerberus is in fact, the Black Ops of the Alliance. So who do you answer to?" Jason asked as the walked down the corridor.
"Though I am slightly impressed at your knowledge regarding to us, we answer to no one. It has been a long time since we have split from the Alliance. We are privately funded and our backers trust the Illusive Man to make the right choices to make the right decisions," came the simple answer, "But he's very clear about our goals, to protect humanity and serve its advancement."
Jason merely inclined his head as he processed the information given to him, he didn't trust the Illusive Man at all, that was absolutely too much power for one man.
Though he didn't voice his thought, Miranda seemed to know what was going in his mind as she added, "He's no saint and he'll be the first to admit it but he's committed. Humanity couldn't have asked for a better advocate…"
As they went past a door and took a right turn, Jason saw numerous holo terminals before he continued following Miranda. Stopping in front of a door, the door slid open and Miranda turned to face Jason. "
Well, we're here, just walk straight and you'll be in the Illusive Man's office." She said and gave him a warning stare.
"Thank you for making it all interesting and being honest of things." Jason commented and stuck out a hand.
Miranda was wide eyed for barely one second before she shook his hand with the slightest of smiles.
The corridor was dark as Jason proceeded alone ahead. He wasn't at the least surprised as he saw turrets and heavily armored soldiers standing on either side of the already narrow path. Walking past them with a controlled and blank face, the door opened before him.
Slowly, instinctively, he walked into the dark office. Jason noticed that the office gave a clear and beautiful view of the burning star in the system, the red and blue glowed, fighting to be in control. Tearing his eyes away from the star, he noticed a lone figure sitting inside the office, his chair facing the star.
As Jason approached cautiously, he could see the figure was dressed in a suit, probably designer and very expensive. He could smell cigarette smoke as he got a little closer as well as spotting the neat silver hair that dominated the head of the Cerberus leader.
"Mr. Jason Shepard." The Illusive Man greeted simply as he stood up from his chair and turned to face his 'guest.' It was only then that Jason noticed that the Illusive Man had strange glowing patterns within his unnatural blue eyes.
"Implants?" Jason thought.
"Illusive Man." Jason mirrored. Taking a drag from his cigarette that was in his right hand and exhaling.
"I see that you have made your decision."
"I have, and let me make it clear that I don't approve of some of the things your Organization has condone in the past…" The Illusive Man showed no visible emotion and Jason continued, "but if no one is willing to do anything regarding to the Reapers but Cerberus, I'll help you…That's all there is to it."
The Illusive Man picked up a glass filled with a liquor Jason couldn't identify and took a sip, followed by a drag of his cigarette.
"I don't expect any less than that and I would like to let you know that I respect your morals and opinions…we're both on the same side here." The Illusive Man finished his drink and sat the glass down.
"Time will tell...so, its really possible. You can bring people back from the dead? I've seen the details regarding to Project Lazarus on the way here." Jason enquired.
Taking a drag of his cigarette, the Illusive Man merely stared back at him, surveying him and analyzing him.
"With money, anything is possible…and while you're here, your first mission." The Illusive Man tapped a holographic monitor near him and Jason's Omni-tool glowed.
"Preparations are already ready for Shepard, the only thing we need to get started is his body. I'll need you and Miranda to head to the planet Alchera in the Amada System. My sources have pinpointed the approximate location of Shepard's body. I'll need a recovery team to extract it. Miranda has more details regarding to the operation." The Illusive Man told his newest agent before he set back onto his chair like it was a throne and began analyzing the holographic monitors before him.
Jason, seeing that he was dismissed, began to retreat his steps and walk out of the dark office. Slowly, Jason walked out of the room and forward the narrow path. Entering the spacious hallway, he spotted Miranda tapping on a monitor.
"You made the right decision…" Miranda looked up and caught his gaze.
"We'll see. Don't get me wrong, I don't entirely trust Cerberus just yet." Jason dug his black-gloved hands into his coat pockets, "But I'll play along for now." He finished.
"We aren't as evil as you think. Give us a chance and maybe you'll change your mind…" Miranda responded with an delicate eyebrow raised, to which Jason replied with a nonchalant stare.
"I assume that you have been briefed as well?" Jason asked, breaking their staring contest, to which he received a pointed nod.
"When are we leaving?"
"As soon as possible, once we get you outfitted, and past a simple training simulation." Miranda finished tapping on the monitor and beckoned Jason to follow her.
"I thought life was non-existent on Alchera." Jason asked as he pulled out data of the cold planet on his Omni-tool.
"No, but remember what it is that we're retrieving," Miranda retorted, "We have received information that the Blue Suns are going after Shepard's body as well."
"Blue Suns? Aren't they a Terminus system criminal gang? Why are they going after my brother's body?" Jason asked as they walked into a series of corridors and turns.
"It turns out that they were sent by the Shadow Broker. Someone that wants to retrieve Shepard's body apparently contacted the broker. We received confirmation on that theory already." Miranda said as they neared a sleek, see through glass door and it opened.
"Then let's suit up, there's no time to waste." Jason stated with crossed arms.
"Ah, Operative Lawson and Agent Shepard! How good it is to see you." A middle-aged man in a lab coat greeted them in a room filled with weapons of all sorts, from pistols to assault riffles and suits of different armor on the wall; as for the man, he had a head of graying hair and thick lenses that magnified his dark eyes. Jason detected the slightest trace of Russian or Eastern European in this man's accent.
"Dr. Ivanov, likewise. I believe you have something for us?" Miranda replied courteously.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I do!" the Doctor turned to Jason, "It is such a great honor, to finally meet you face to face."
Dr. Ivanov stuck out his hand to Jason, who reluctantly shook it.
"So, the Illusive Man said that he had new armor for me?" Jason asked, running his hand over his hair.
"Yes! Yes! We have been working and testing it for some time now." Dr. Ivanov grabbed a device from a messy table and pressed a button. And slowly, a long sealed capsule between a heavily plated Cerberus armor and a full body red armor slowly moved forward, causing the two sets of armor on either side of it to move to the back row. With a hiss, the seals opened and Jason's eyes became wide.
"I present to you, the Cerberus Nightmare Armor." Dr. Ivanov said in a voice laced with pride. The color of the armor was a metallic black and sleek in design, opting for speed and agility over brute strength, a perfect fit to his infiltrator rank.
"I have to say that the design is beautiful but what advancements have you made that set this suit from the others?" Jason asked slowly, after he had quickly gotten over his initial shock.
"Clever boy. This here is only a Mark IV version; we're currently developing a Mark V and Mark VI, which you will be the first to try once we're done with the tests due to the boss' command. Though this is the only custom suit we have built so far due to you being a biotic as well. A significant hurdle I might add." Dr. Ivanov gushed with excitement, causing Miranda to raise a brow. She turned to Jason and found him enraptured to the details Ivanov was sprouting.
"Men…" She rolled her eyes.
"The one you'll be wearing is outfitted with repulsors weapons system on both hands on the palms, don't worry about targeting sequence, you have a beautiful, magnificent target enhancement software in you helmet that will do that for you. We have also made it so that you may use thermal clips, the capacitors will deliver a powerful punch and the circulating coolant in the gloves allows for more shots before a given thermal clip overheats. There are also repulsors on the feet for propulsion for long as well as short distance flight. Also in multiple opponent combat situations, the armor also boasts a pair of lasers that could cut through about anything with the slightest contact. Though please do not use it for long spans of time as it will overheat the system. Lastly it has a cloaking system, the newest developed. Exquisite." Ivanov pointed out as he pointed to the handplates of the armor and in great detail, explained the rest of the armor's capabilities.
"That's all and well, what does it run on? An armor as sophisticated as this must have an incredible large power source." Jason asked as he surveyed the armor.
"The first three models all ran on a palladium but the Mark IV is the first to run on Palladium and Element Zero." Dr. Ivanov responded.
"So," Dr. Ivanov clapped his hands and rubbed them gleefully, "Shall we give it a try, Agent Shepard?"
And soon after, Jason took off his coat and was strapped into his new armor by a team of scientists.
"What's next?" Jason asked as he examined both of his palms. He soon got his answer as he, Miranda and Dr. Ivanov arrived at the experimenting arena. The entire arena was a white color as lights illuminated the arena from the ceiling high above. Miranda and Dr. Ivanov watched on as Jason was pitted against thirty LOKI mechs.
"Show time." Jason raised his palms and shot a repulsor beam at the mech, causing it to explode upon impact. He gracefully somersaulted, leapt and dodged as the mechs fired on him and he retaliated by firing the repulsors beams back on both palms.
He dodged sideways and raising his left hand, he launched the small rockets from his wristrocket launcher attached to the side of the gauntlet, destroying five mechs. The fight outcome was obvious as Jason tested the various arsenal he had at hand. Decapitating the heads of some mechs with his laser weapons system, manually punching through them, using his palm repulsor launcher.
Miranda was impressed at the martial arts displayed by Jason Shepard, the way he moved, was like that of a dancer. When the last LOKI mech was dealt with, a repulsor kick to the head, Jason's faceplate slid up, revealing his face.
"Are we done?" Suddenly he could feel the ground shaking.
"Hold on Agent Shepard, just three more to go!" Dr. Ivanov spoke from the speakers. Turning around, Jason found himself facing three YMIR Mechs. The YMIR Mech was way bigger than the LOKI, clad in bone white armor with red lights. Heavily armored and shielded, they possessed twin automatic mass accelerator cannons concealed in the right arm and a rocket launcher on the left.
"Fuck." Jason cursed as his faceplate slid back over his face. Jason knew that YMIR Mechs were slow and lumbering, as they've sacrificed speed for more power and armor. There was virtually nothing in the training room to take cover from as the three mechs fired with their automatic mass accelerator cannons.
Propelling into the air, Jason found what he was looking for as he switched to the anti-armor missiles housed on both of his shoulder pods. Flying and twisting in the air, dodging the YMIR Mechs' rain of fire and rockets as he flew straight at them, he locked onto the mech's joints with the targeting system as he looked through his faceplate and released his anti-armor rockets and watched as they homed into their intended targets. Luckily for him, his aim was true and straight.
As he descended to the ground on one knee, the sounds of the mechs violently exploding rang behind him. Removing his helmet as he deactivated the neck seals, Jason turned his head around and surveyed the smoldering remains.
Though he disliked Cerberus, their technology was certainly fascinating and impressive.
"So…what do you think, Operative Lawson? Is it to your standards?" Ivanov asked while his team entered the arena beneath them and began surveying Jason.
"Yes." Miranda replied simply and left the observatory.
"Now that's all done, come on, our ship's waiting for us." Miranda informed Jason, who merely raised an eyebrow in response. Entering an elevator, they descended down into the docks, a different one than the one they arrived in.
It was much larger, evident with the amount of cruisers it held. Soldiers were rushing all around them as the cruiser was prepared for departure. To his surprise, the Cerberus cruisers were very similar in design compared to Alliance Cruisers. Long has it been a rumor that Cerberus had people high up in the Alliance, so Cerberus getting their hands on Alliance schematics weren't entirely impossible.
He didn't know what to feel as the soldiers gave him and Miranda a wide berth as they walked past them and towards the airlock, which would eventually lead to the cruiser that would take them to Alchera. If the exterior of the cruiser was large, the interior made it more so as Jason and Miranda entered the bridge.
"We'll be in Alchera shortly, get some rest. I'll be in my office on Deck 3 if you need assistance." Miranda informed him and headed off to the lift, leaving the infiltrator alone. He felt a sense of unfamiliarity as he surveyed the large crew, all dressed in Cerberus colors and logo. It wasn't so long ago that he was onboard the Normandy SR-1 with one of the best Alliance crews he had ever served with. They were all at their appropriate stations at the bridge and the CIC.
Resigned to his fate, Jason merely stood behind the pilots at the cockpits as he surveyed the glowing, radiant star that was Anadius, swirls of blue amongst swirls of red, getting farther and farther each second.

Dossier: Jason Shepard
After extending an invitation to the Hero of Torfan, Jason Shepard appeared on Illium as predicted
It is unclear whether his allegiances have completely changed. The imminent resurrection of John Shepard will likely change that perspective.
Regardless, Jason Shepard will become a huge asset for Cerberus.
And I'll stop here. I NEED reviews, so please. I like Mass Effect and I want to write a good regarding to it. The next chapter will have Shepard return from the dead.
