A geth fell to the ground, holes punched through its chest, flashlight head, and groin. (Heh heh) "I love this gun!" I crowed. Turning to another geth, I stunned it with my rifle butt, and ripped it in half with bullets from the crotch up.
"Why do you keep doing that?" Kaidan yelled, "The crotch is isn't a weak point on them!" "I know!" I yelled back, "But it's funny!"
A sniper round glanced off Shepard's shields. "Shit!" She dived behind a rock. That almost took my shield down! Sol! Get him!" She barked at me. I put my rifle to my shoulder and fired, but my shots didn't go far enough. I felt the tingle of light on my skin, and I felt a rush in my body.
I found myself in the spot the sniper had previously been in, and the geth sniper flying (in pieces) into the distance. "Sweet," I said to myself. I walked back to Shepard and the others.
We had found nothing at the dig site, much to Ashley's chagrin. We went looking for the Prothean beacon in the main part of the colony, and almost got there, when we came across a dead alien Shepard and Kaidan called "Nihilus". We had learned from some guy, who was hiding behind a crate, that another alien of the same species, called a "Turian", named "Saren" had shot Nihilus in the back of the head. Also, they were both "Specters", and that meant they were elite agents of the "Citadel Council". Whatever that meant, exactly.
I had been given an Omni-tool by one of the colonists, and I received a message from Aroka as we got on the tram. I clicked a button on the holographic interface, and the screen clicked up. Aroka's face appeared, and she seemed to be hidden, because she spoke quietly. "Hey, Sol, is that you coming on the tram? Because there are a shit-ton of guys here." "Sol, who is that?" Shepard asked. Aroka leaned forward. "Who's that?" I turned the view to Shepard, and introduced her, Ashley, and Kaidan. Hearing Ashley's name, the look on her face was the same as the thought that had run through my head when I had first heard her surname.
"Is there a Turian there?" I questioned. Instead of answering, she turned her view, and we saw a Turian in white armor floating in the air, next to something that looked like what Ashley had described the Prothean beacon to look like.
"Ok, Aroka, stay put, and we'll come get you." She nodded, and turned the view screen to the tram station, where I could see myself, Shepard, and the others standing around me. I got an idea. "Can you record this?" I asked Aroka. She gave me a duh look, and I shrugged. "Sorry, this is still new to me. I want this as evidence of my awesomeness."
I closed the Omni-tool, and turned to Shepard. "Hang back and I'll deal with the geth."
She nodded, tentatively.
"Shepard, we have signals from some things that are placed around the station," Kaidan looked up from his Omni-tool. "Shepard, those signals come from bombs. If they go off, they'll destroy the entire colony!" Shepard thought for a moment, tapping the chin of her visor. "Okay, revised plan," she said, "Sol, you deal with the geth, while Kaidan and I deal with the bombs. Ashley will cover us."
I nodded, and the tram bumped into the station, and geth popped out of cover and began shooting us.
Not for long.
Within 40 seconds, they were all scrap, and Shepard and Kaidan where disarming all the bombs. As Kaidan called out the last bomb being disarmed, Aroka jogged into view, just turning off her Omni-tool.
"Did you catch all that?" I asked. She nodded. "Yeah, I did. How did you do that?"
"Do what?" She made furious hand motions in the air. "You jumped from one person to the other, and they where thrown away in pieces. How?" I shrugged. "I found out I can go lightspeed, and I Charge across long distances and hit people with great force. It's fun." She looked at the ground for awhile, thinking. "She looked up, and said, "It might be possible, but maybe biotics might be able to recreate that with the right implants."
I looked at her oddly. "What's a biotic?" She turned to me. "It's a person who can affect mass effect fields."
I was lost. "What?"
She shook her head. "You really need to get on the extranet." She said.
Now, I was more confused. "Extranet?"
She shook her head again.
Shepard was examining the Prothean beacon, when some kind of force field started to pull her in. "Shepard!" I yelled, and ran for her. Grabbing her around the waist, I was about to throw her out of the force field, when we were both pulled in by it, and suspended in the air.
A rush of images flooded my mind, visions of a machines waging war on an alien race that looked like they had squids coming out of their mouths.
The beacon exploded, throwing Shepard and I back, me, for some reason, way farther back into a wall.
Sexist, was my last thought before blacking out.
