Authors Note: Ok sorry about the long delay between chapters watchers of this FanFic/Theory. But I had to reinstall Microsoft Word and I have no InterWebz connection for the longest time. Also I have been sucked into Kaiserreich (a mod for Hearts of Iron 2 which they then transported to Darkest Hour) I would also like to point out that this always seems bigger in Microsoft Word then on FanFiction… Yeah.

Last Son of Gaia Chapter 6: An Unexpected Guest

July 25th, 2586, Skye Family Estate, Scottish Highlands, 3:26pm

Kayle Skye was, after a month, convinced that being a parent is hard.

A month ago he was all for it and now he was more tired than when he was active a duty Spectre. The changing, the feeding, the sleepless nights (for which he was glad that the estate had staff), the changing, the feeding…

Liara had taken Silesia to see her grandfather on one of the few surviving Asari colonies for a month and a bit. So Kayle had decided from the 20th to the 30th the staff would have off and Kayle would look after everything at the estate.

So there he sat in a chair out on the terrace leading to the large garden that had been there since the early 1500s, enjoying Scotch and reading several books. He had been out there in the sun since about nine in the morning and was enjoying himself immensely.

His leisure however was interrupted however when he heard the ever familiar sounds of a Kodiak shuttle approaching the estate and begun to scowl. He placed a bookmark into the page he was reading and composed himself. He got up from his chair in the terrace and went inside to put on shirt. He came out from his room in white t-shirt and went down to the front door and out to the drive in front of the estate.

The Kodiak had landed on the main driveway to the estate and he noticed right away that this Kodiak was different. The colour scheme for one was not the Alliance Blue and Red, but was green and white and the emblem on the door was not Alliance either. A three headed eagle blazed the door hatch of the Kodiak with a crown clutched in its left leg and a scepter in its right.

"Shit…"

The door opened and out walked a familiar face. Her hair had gone grey over the few years and she had more lines but the uniform clung to her body much the same as it has since Kayle first met her after Mindoir.

He walked down the driveway to her and extended his hand to hers.

"Rear Admiral Hannah Shepard. It's good to see you again."

Hannah took his hand and shook it. "You as well ADMIRAL Skye. It's been few years hasn't it?"

They both laughed and parted hands as Kayle waved his hand at the Kodiak.

"Since when did you start working for Imperial Russia Hannah?" Kayle asked as the Kodiak took off.

Hannah looked as the Kodiak took off and then back to Kayle. "I never stopped working for Mother Russia. My real name is Anastasia Nikolai Nizhny. I was born in the city of Nizhny to the noble family of Nikolai-Nizhny who ruled the Duchy of Nizhny-Novgorod."

Kayle simply stared for a minute before composing himself again and then lost his composure again and stared. "Does anyone else in the Alliance know? Do John and Jane know?"

Hannah shrugged. "No. I was sent in by orders of the Tsar to see if Russia's entry into the alliance would be needed or at all required. And before we go any further Kayle my name to you is Hannah. I have used that name so often it is my name even if it if just a cover."

Kayle smiled and waved Hannah up to the house.

As she followed him up the drive way she looked around at the land around the estate. She whistled. "Even Mother Russia didn't have this much undamaged land after the Reapers landed. You must have poured a lot of money into rebuilding it."

Kayle snorted loudly. "Hardly. The Reapers were more interested in England and Wales then Scotland. A single Sovereign Class landed at Edinburgh and 3 Destroyers landed at Glasgow. A few of those Eye Drone fighter-thingies attacked the Low and High lands but that's about it. For the most part the population of Scotland managed to go hide up in the Highland mountains. That's not to say that there were no casualties but compared to the rest of the British Isles… Well yeah. Southern England is still being rebuilt and they say it's going to be at least another four or five year's until London is even partially rebuilt."

They had reached the front door by then and Kayle opened it and lead Hannah inside. Hannah was impressed to say the least by the house. "But I would be lying if I said I didn't spend some money refurbishing and repairing this place. But hey the pension the Alliance gave me is stupid big. Not to mention what the council is giving me! I am set for life pretty much."

Kayle stopped then sniffed the air and muttered 'shit' before racing off to some other part of the house.

S.A.S.V (Systems Alliance Service Vessel) Damocles II, Luna Dry-dock, new flagship of the Systems Alliance, July 26th, 2586, 03:41 hours.

The Damocles II is a new type of dreadnought. Unlike the Salarian Dreads that had stealth, the Damocles Class was designated as a 'Super Dreadnought', and as such was not bound by the Treaty but sooner or later the council probably would get around to adding it to the treaty.

Armed with four new 'Dora IV' M.A.C (magnetic acceleration cannon) which threw out slugs the size of an old WW2 super heavy Maus Tank, and forty-two Rhineland C.I.W.S (Close In Weapons System) produced by the company ThyssenKrupp AG which had survived three world wars and then almost four hundred years of intermittent strife now known as The Second Dark Ages) and then quite large amount of missile and rocket weapons built into the hull and numerous turrets around the ship, you could be forgiven for thinking that is was an even bigger Tirpitz up scaled for space and versus Reapers.

The original Damocles under the command of Rear Admiral Hannah Shepard joined the battle for Earth late but still managed to claim 23 confirmed Sovereign class Reapers and another confirmed 57 Destroyer class Reapers and assisted in the destruction of a confirmed 45 Sovereign class and another 98 Destroyer class. But regardless of the success of the Damocles its did not survive the Battle for Earth. Thankfully most of the crew of the Damocles survived the battle as did Admiral Shepard.

After the Damocles' success during the battle the Alliance commissioned five Damocles class one of which was to named 'Damocles II'. But the other races were already copying the Damocles 'Super Dread'.

Ok that marks the end of this chapter. The next two three chapters will explain how Kayle survived the end of ME3 and deal with a tech conference which will include Quarian and Geth.

Untill next time,

All hail you dark lord and master Daval Prestor
