When Tali, Garrus and myself had arrived at the hospital earlier, we had found the doc. She was being held at gunpoint by some dirty looking thieves. I had been itching to use my Omnitool mods that I had gotten earlier, so right as the door opened I popped the guy holding the doc with a cryo freeze and ran up next to her. He quickly froze and broke apart apon falling to the ground. Garrus had blown a hole clean through one of their heads with his sniper, and Tali had shot a round from her shotgun into another one's torso. By then only three more were left, one of which was stupid enough to charge up on me. He had gotten a face full of mass accelerator rounds from my Tempest. Tali and Garrus quickly dispatched the other two. As soon as it had started, it had ended. The doc gave us her thanks and made a quick exit. We all then headed back to C-Sec to find Shepard and friends picking up some stuff from that Spectre requisitions officer.

And now we're back. Looks like Shepard picked up Wrex. Good, we'll need a heavy-hitter.

I wonder if they have any oculuses...

I walk up to Shepard who looks over at me and asks,

"So how'd it go?"

"We found some bad guys there. They died."

He gives me a knowing nod and looks back over to the requisitions officer. I see him picking up a few weapons, fancy looking ones. He looks back at us,

"Go ahead and pick out some weapons and stuff. Since we are hunting down a rogue Spectre, we will need some decent equipment."

Oh hell yes.

No sooner do we all crowd around and browse through all the stuff. I see Tali pick up a new shotgun and pistol, Garrus grabs a new rifle and sniper. I spot two M-5 Phalanx pistols near the end.

"Dibs!"

I quickly snatch them and hook them on the two magnetic clamps on my back.

I get a weird look from most of the crew before they go back to picking out weapons and armor.

A few minutes go by before I see most everyone finishing up, but I'm still looking. I need that oculus. Before long I spot one.

A rounded square where it hooks up to the side of my head, and a flexible jointed piece that juts out of the side. The targeting screen attached to the end of that flexible piece is more or less rectangular with a purple covering.

I just noticed.

I look down, purple kinetic barriers. I look over my should to the clamps, purple. The oculus, purple.

Hell yes!

I slap the oculus on my face and get it adjusted. I need an opinion...

"Tali, how do I look?"

She looks over,

"Good. But you will need to get that oculus calibrated with your guns."

Oh you know, that might help.

I look over at Garrus,

"You mind, Garrus?"

"Nah. Hand me it."

I take it off and toss it over to him. He tinkers with it for a minute or so and throws it back.

"That should do it. Try it now."

I hook it back up to my head and the display lights up. I don't see anything besides a few status bars. Maybe if I aim at something... I pull out my Tempest as it unfolds in my hand.

I look down and point my sub-machinegun down at the floor. I see a little targeting apparatus appear. I move my gun around a bit, and the target follows. Awesome.

"Thanks Garrus. Works just fine."

I slide my Tempest back onto the lower portion of my back, looks like I was the last one done. Shepard hands the requisitions officer a credit chit and we make our way into the main C-Sec elevator. The whole ground team is in the elevator, save for Liara. Not much wiggle room.

The elevator doors close and it slowly starts its ascension upwards to the Normandy. I can't wait to see this thing.

Its been a good minute or two and we still haven't arrived there yet. It wasn't even this slow in game. You have got to be kid-

"Ding!"

About time. We all make our way out of the elevator, some more eager then others. Looks like Ashley doesn't like being that close to aliens.

We look out over to see Udina and Anderson, and to their left, the Normandy.

Holy. Shit.

Seeing this thing in game is way different then seeing it in real life. It's huge! I can not believe that I get to go on that! This is so cool! I make a quick dash over to the railing, followed up by Tali.

"This is awesome!"

"I know! I can't wait to see the inside! That thing must have an amazing drive core!"

Mental lol here. So cute when she talks about tech stuff...

"You two act like you've never seen a frigate before."

Honestly, I haven't Garrus.

"Not one like this Garrus."

"I've been on the Flotilla my whole life, I haven't."

Garrus gives what looks like the Turian version of a smile,

"She is pretty amazing though, huh?"

Looks like Shepard finished up with Anderson,

"Yeah. She's prototype; only some of the most experimental tech on board."

"Sound fancy Shepard, when do we get to see the inside?"

"Right now. Since I'm a Spectre, Anderson handed control of the ship over to me."

I see Tali look over at Shepard then rush into the airlock. I follow up shortly after. The rest of his entourage takes their time walking into the airlock with us.

Damn I want to see this thing, hurry up!

It's a tight fit when we all get into the airlock, but we manage. I look over at Tali to see her bouncing on her toes. So adorable.

A minute or so after the decontamination finishes we all are gathered up the bridge.

"Maybe a tour, Shepard?" I ask.

"Sure. But after you four will need to go down to sickbay and get a physical. We want to make sure you aren't going to faint on the battlefield."

Crap...

Me, Tali, Garrus, and Wrex look at each other and shrug.

"Well, on with the tour then."

We all keep pace behind Shepard as he makes his way down the CiC.

I loosely follow Shepard but I'm not even paying any attention to what he is saying. Being on this ship is amazing. In game is one thing, but actually walking down its decks is another. It is just so surreal. How could this have happened? Not that I'm not enjoying it. This is awesome! But how does something like this even happen? Everytime someone dies do they get like teleported or something to another universe? Or into this universe? Now that I think about it, what about my old universe? Did I really die there? Am I just having a near-death experience? Am I just dreaming? Did I really get teleported here? Does my family even know I'm gone? If I died there do they think I'm dead? Did I just vanish off the face of the earth there? I kind of miss them...

Wait.

I don't recall seeing this area in game!

"We have a few extra rooms available, so this is where you guys will be staying."

I guess not everyone slept in a sleeper pod then?

"Down at the end of the hall there is a doorway that leads down to the training area. It is fully equipped, feel free to use it whenever."

That definitely isn't canon. Not that I'm complaining.

"Go ahead and pick your quarters, first come first serve."

The rooms don't look any different...

"Shepard, They all look exactly the same."

"They are."

Right...

I pick the one closest to the training room, Garrus grabs the one across from me. Tali picks the one next to me and Wrex heads down to the training room.

I hit the panel on my door and it slides open. Not much smaller then my room back home. Pretty nice. I walk to the edge of the bed and toss my pack on to the side by the bedpost. Damn that thing is heavy. I roll my neck and get a few loud pops. Much better.

My door swings open and Shepard walks in,

"Hey, I never caught your name."

Oh wow, I never did tell him.

"Kye Jen."

He nods,

"Alright. Well, your up first for the physical."

Of course.

He heads out of my room and makes his way down the hall. I follow up shortly after and see Tali exiting her room.

"Heading to the drive core, Tali?"

"Yes! Did you see it when Shepard showed us around? It looks amazing!"

Yeah, I wasn't really paying attention.

"Yeah, I'll have to go check it out in-depth later. I have to head up to sickbay for the physical."

"Well, I'll see you later then."

"Alright, bye."

She's pretty nice.

I head to the end of the hall and up a set of stairs. I think this is where I came from...

Back on the crew deck. So Chakwas should be right over...

There.

I cross the hall and make my way past Kaiden. We both look at each other and nod. I make a left and enter sickbay. Chakwas is sitting down drinking something, Serrice Ice Brandy. Yep.

"You must be one of the new crew members Shepard brought aboard."

"Yeah, Kye."

"Doctor Chakwas. Here for the physical?"

"Mhmm."

"Alright. Lets start out with a few questions then."

I grab a seat across from her and make myself comfortable.

"Name?"

"Kye Jen"

"Age?"

"20"

"Height?"

"6'3"

"Weight?"

"155, I think."

"We'll get that checked in a second."

"Ok."

"Any history of illness?"

"I had asthma, But I might have grown out of it because I haven't had an attack since I was... 8?"

"Anything else?"

"Uh... I'm anemic."

"Does it ever slow you down or effect you?"

"Nope."

"Is that all?"

"I eat more then a lot of people but I'm kind of skinny. My stomach might be a bottomless pit."

She gives a noticeable chuckle,

"Alright well that should take care of that. Hop on that table over there so I can run a scan on your body."

Less invasive in the future, alright!

I hop up off the seat and walk over to the table she pointed at. Near the base it has some mechanisms that jut out, almost like arms. They have some weird instruments on them that I'm assuming have something to do with the whole scanning thing.

I lay down, and my feet pop over the edge of the table a few inches. Yeah...

She walks up the the foot of the table and presses a few buttons on the end. The arms around me light up and begin to hover a few inches over my body. Two of them look like they have lasers on them, they scan up and down both sides of my body. One near the top of my bed looks awfully pointy and nears around my eyes. Don't be like that one scene in Dead Space 2...

"All finished."

The arms all pull back simultaneously and I quickly jump off the table.

Chakwas walks back to her desk and opens up her terminal. She looks like she is going over the results of the scan. Then she says something you never want to hear a doctor say,

"Oh my."

Oh shit.

"What?"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Tell you what?"

She stops looking at her terminals screen and rotate her chair to face me. She looks at me square in the eye,

"A few things; For one, the scans show you have Element Zero in your bloodstream."

"What. What?"

"They also show what blood you lack from anemia is replaced with Element Zero, you have a very high concentration of it in your blood stream."

"Wha- But... Does this mean I'll end up with cancer or something?"

"No, it seems to have no adverse effects on your health."

"So then, I'm a biotic?"

I guess that explains eating more then a normal person then? So much for a bottomless pit...

"Not only that-"

This is going to be good.

"But you body seems to have developed a node."

"How the hell is that even possible?"

"It will take some more time to find out. But this node is very undeveloped. Before you can use your biotics efficiently it will take some practice, don't over do it."

"Ok. Well, you said earlier that I had a high concentration of Eezo. What does that mean? Like,..."

"Your biotics will have a longer duration, and you won't strain yourself nearly as easy if you were a normal biotic. Also, it might change the hue slightly."

"How slightly?"

"You'll have to go see."

"Right... Sounds fun."

"Also, one last thing. I noticed you have a translator in your ear. I can give you a more permanent one if you wish."

"Surgery?"

"Yes."

"How long would it take?"

"An hour at the most."

"Right now? Or what?"

"After the new crew members get their physicals."

"Alright, I'll see you then."

I make my way out of sickbay and take a seat at the main table on the crew deck.

Well then. I'm a biotic. Shit, I could have used this before I died. Thrown a singularity right at those assholes that killed me. Too late for that I guess. But dude, I'm a biotic. You'd think it would have shown up earlier? I do eat a lot, but not enough to be a biotic. Maybe its because I've never used them so I don't each much more. Come to think of it, I wonder if everyone that eats more then normal back home is a biotic. Probably not, but it would be cool to find out.

Well I have biotic powers now, as well as tech powers. Not much in the way of weapons training. I'm a Sentinel. This is awesome. I wonder if I'll get tech armor sometime, I'd love to use that. Maybe make it a different color though. Like blue or purple. Well anyways.

What now? Should probably go tell Garrus or Wrex they ar-

Scratch that, looks like Wrex is heading in.

I guess I can go talk to Tali. She's pretty awesome.

I sit up, push in my chair and head into the main elevator. I hit the button down one level to engineering and the cargo bay. And of course, the elevator is still slow.

Yeah that figures.

I arrive on the cargo bay and make a right down to Tali's side of engineering. The door slides open, wow.

The drive core looks really cool in real life. Tali is probably going nuts over it.

"Wow that really does look cool."

"Keelah, this is amazing, Kye!"

"Looks like it. How does it work?"

"Well..."

For upward of the next hour Tali explained how exactly it worked. I really didn't understand most of it, but it is fun to hear her talk about this stuff.

By this time I hear the elevator come back down and a large pair of footsteps walk back into the cargo bay. Wrex is done.

"So, that is the uh, basics on how it works."

Basics? Man I'm stupid.

"How did your physical go?"

Oh yeah.

"Oh you know, just fine. Nice and healthy, no issues or anything...

Oh and she also said I'm a biotic. And my body also has developed a node for it."

"I thought only Krogan and Asari had them?"

"You and me both Tali."

We both stand there in an awkward silence for a few seconds before Tali says something,

"Well I guess I better head up for mine, then."

"Alright. If you need me I'll be down in that training area by our quarters."

We both nod and head into the elevator. We both exit and she heads to sickbay while I go back down to where my quarters are. I open my door and take off my Tempest from the lower portion of my back. I set it on the bedside table, then take both my M-5's and place them in the tables drawer. The coat slides off fairly easily; it gets tossed on top of the bedpost above my pack. I undo the straps holding my knife to my torso and lay it on my bed. When I clear out and the door closes.

I get to the end of the hall the door to the training area swings open. Garrus, Wrex, and a few assorted crew members are in various places. Wrex is lifting some weights, Garrus is shooting at holographic targets with his new sniper rifle, and a few other crew members are sitting on benches watching or lifting weights themselves. When I make my way in I get a few people look my way, then gaze back at the bulky Krogan lifting what I can only guess is +500 pound weights. I think I'll start out with my biotics, so I head up to a slot next to Garrus.

"What exactly do you plan on shooting the targets with Kye? I don't see any weapons."

You'll see...

Alright. Focus. I think I read something once about using biotics, let me see if that tactic works.

I start to imagine the target in my head. A holographic Geth, about 50 yards away. What should I use on it? I'll try warp. Pretty standard attack.

Alright, I'm going to warp you. I'm just going to toss a ball of dark energy right on your torso, and you will flicker out of existence. I can see it now, I will smack that smug lightbulb right off your ugly face.

I open my right palm and focus on the center mass of the hologram. I feel something tingling.

It's the inside of my hand. I think that is a good sign.

I expand my hand and open it most of the way, and I feel the energy expand as well. I look down at my right arm. My hand is glowing, a deep violet color. Not just my hand, but my whole forearm. I glance back at the target and thrust my arm forward.

VUUWOOOMP!

The blast shoots right out of my hand and sails right into the hologram's chest. It flickers for a split second, and fades out.

"Hell ye-"

I stumble back a few steps and grab my head.

Holy shit I'm dizzy.

I give my self a few seconds to recuperate, and look back.

Everyone is looking back at me. Even Wrex. Garrus has this "Oh shit!" look plastered on his face.

"Kye, how did you- are you ok?"

"A little dizzy. It's my first time doing that though, so..."

"First time?"

"Yeah, I found out like an hour ago. I think that went well for a first try, don't you think?"

"I guess, but why was it purple and not blue?"

"The doc said I have a lot more Eezo in my bloodstream then most people, plus something about a node."

About this time Wrex steps up to me.

"Impossible. How can a weakling like you have a node?"

"Because I'm just badass like that."

He gives an annoyed grunt and goes back to lifting weights.

"Well anyways."

I turn back down to the holographic targets. Lets try something else this time.

Throw.

I get focused on the next target, about 35 yards away. This time it looks like the targets aren't holographic. I see Garrus over on the left messing with a control panel, I bet he's the one that changed it. Good because Throw won't do much to a hologram.

Alright, same as before, but think more...

Throw-ish.

I get in a batting stance, left foot forward, right foot back. I aim my left arm on the target, and have my right arm bent to my side. I summon the energy into my hand, and expand it out.

I twist my body left and jerk my right arm out to the target. The Throw goes sailing through the air, guided by my left arm. It hits the target right below the neck and it smashes to the ground with a loud THUMP.

Still a little dizzy. This is going to take some practice. Even so, this is way fun.

Next target pops out from the right, moving pretty fast. I act quickly and run the same procedures I had done twice already. The third target slams to the ground. Two more pop out, each going the opposite direction, and even faster. Think fast. I pull both arms out, sway them behind myself then back out; I lunge forward. Two Warps hit each target, one below the heart and the other in the stomach. By now I've broken into a decent sweat, but I hardly have time to think about it. Two more targets come out, opposite directions, followed up by one more a second or two later moving the same direction as the first one.

"Garrus! Really?"

I pop a Throw at the first target, it goes down no problem. I load up two more on each arm and fling them out at the two remaining targets. Both fall to the ground.

I look over at Garrus, who is about to put out some more targets.

Hell no. My head is about to burst.

I use my biotics to grab his arm and pull it away from the console.

"I'm done Garrus. I have a serious headache."

He raises both of his hands in defeat and I head out.

Damn my head hurts. I guess I should have listed to Chakwas.

Throb

Ow.

Throb

Ow.

Throb

Ow.

"Kye."

Just about to head to my quarters... damnit Shepard...

"Yeah?"

"You never said you are a biotic."

You were watching? Sneaky...

"Yeah I just found out. Chakwas told me like an hour ago."

"How come your biotics are that strong?"

"Dude, I have a serious headache. Ask the doc for the details, I need to go rest my head."

"Alright. See you later Kye."

I nod and head out. I need some sleep. I hit the control panel on the door and it slides open. I head down the hall and get up to my doorway. I slap my doors panel and it glides open. I fall face first onto my bed.

Well.

I just got teleported like 200 years into the future, and joined a battle that will determine the fate of every sentient species in the galaxy.

What a day.

-[[]]-

So.

You just read chapter 4.

Comments on that whole dealio:

I think the node might be pushing it, but it's a SI, so what the hell?

That's probably as crazy as it is going to get.

I wanted to be a Sentinel class, because that's how I roll.

I really do eat a lot more then normal, but am like skinny, wtf

And I really am anemic. Don't be hatin'

So the whole eating a lot would explain some of the biotics,

Plus, HOLY SHIT I LOVE PURPLE

So I made my biotics purple.

And I've gotten a lot of people faving and following or whatever,

But I need some reviews, so I know if I'm doing this whole "writing" thing right.
