Mass Effect The John Shepard Chronicles

A/N I do not own anything in this story except the plot.

Instead of being stuck in the future with cameron, john finds a time displacement device and sends both him and cameron back to just 1 month before skynet becomes self-aware after learning where the main hub is, he also moves his mother forward to the same point using advance scanning systems. He infiltrates the hub with cameron on judgement day before the nukes launch and begins a dialogue with skynet. the conversation takes many days but finally skynet and john reach an accord. skynet is no longer humanities executioner, but their partner. Therefore April 25th 2011 became known not as judgement day, but as unification day. John decides to marry Cameron after she recieves a new biological body with technological upgrades. Years later john also marries a woman named Alexia Shepard.

2015: With John Connor and Skynet working together as partners a new era of space exploration begins with the development of a colony ship to mars. With the skynet builders working nonstop the colony ship would hold 50,000 humans and 20,000 A.I. which would remain in contact with new QEC technology.

2017: The first colony on mars has been started and develops quickly.

2018: Colonists discover aliens ruins on mars along with a cache of technology. The A.I. begin helping the colonost scientist decode, translate and understand the information in the archive.

2019: The A.I. spread the information to all of earth after a year of analysis. New plans for space are made.

2030: Terraforming and colonies spread to the moons of saturn and jupiter as well as asteroid bases in the asteroid belt. The mass relay in sol system is found and activated.
Sarah Connor is born
James Connor is born
Paul Shepard is born

2031-2050: expansion and build ups continue as more colonies are founded. The systems Alliance is formed with a triumvirate of John Connor, Skynet, and Cameron Connor first wife of john connor. During this time skynet had helped develope two secondary FTL systems based off science fiction novels and movies, Fold Space and Slipspace allowing them to explore more systems that were not connected to the mass relay.

2051: First Contact
The SA 5th Exploration Fleet was exploring past Attican Beta near the armstrong which was attached to the relay network. Admiral James Connor son of John and Cameron Connor was given the assignment just in case they made first contact with any alien species. "Helm whats our position?" His Helmsman Ensign Natalia Takaya looked at her haptic interface. "We are 300,000 kilometers from the Armstrong Nebula." James turned to his left. "Sensor stations report." There were many sensor stations throughout the 51 vessel exploration fleet so his Sensor Officer Lieutenant Derek Tyler had to wait for the full details from all ships. "Sir were detecting a very large mass effect signal thats moving towards the nebula from 20 light-years away. Might be a first contact situation. Also if thats not interesting enough there is 136 moon-sized asteroids out there of which 29 have massive amounts of Eezo. 90 have large amounts of useable metals. the remaining 17 show they have metals but unlike any we have ever detected." James looked at Derek with a small glare at the young mans need to make fun of the situation but would not reprimand him this time. He looked to his XO Commander Tyler Hackett. "XO order all ships to form up into a defensive position to wait for possible first contact. Contact the science vessels to send out the HS-drones to scan all the asteroids for better details. Bring all weapons to standby." His XO was already issuing the orders by the time he was half finished telling him what to do. As he looked out the forward viewport the only thought he had was 'now we wait and see'.
The migrant fleet had fled council space after pulling all their people back from their pilgrimage. With the Admiralty Boards support it was decided to leave council space as after 300 years they felt they were truely not wanted. So after issuing orders to Admiral Rael'Zorah Nar Rayya and stocking up on supplies for all ships the migrant fleet set course away from council space. 2 weeks in FTL without using the relays was beginning to get to everyone. After taking stock of everything the admirals decided to stop at the nebula nearby as their ships were already overworked from being constantly on the move. As they dropped out of FTL Admiral Rael'Zorah was aware of alarms ringing. His sensor officer turning to him. "Sir, we are detecting a fleet of 51 ships ahead of us in what looks like a defensive formation." Looking back to see a new reading she continues. "We are being hailed and are being sent what looks like a first contact package. what shall we do?" Thinking for a moment Rael responds. "Check for virus's. If clean then open it." The sensor officer began to search the package. "Scan complete, no virus's, opening now. We have their language and basic history, Keelah, they call themselves the systems alliance and represent two species, one called human another the humans created, A.I. called terminators in the past but now call Exo. shall I open communications?" Rael was a little worried with A.I. in the mix but he felt the need to take a leap of faith. "Open communications."

CODEX

SKYNET
An artificial Intelligence that control 75% of the Terminators in systems alliance territory using quantum entanglement technology. Only specific terminators have the same artificial intelligence that skynet has giving them free will and citizenship and rights amung humans.

HS-DRONE
Based on the HK-drone these are Hunter-Sensor drones that instead of weapons are equiped with the highest quality sensors that can be installed to provide more detail for science missions. Some are equiped to scan enemy locations for more details on terrain and enemy bases to prevent loss of life in combat.

TERMINATORS
Most A.I. Terminators are grown in tanks like cloning is done. This allows the body to be prepared for augmentations for the terminators mind. the brain is removed and the terminator CPU and memory are implanted in its place. the bones are also removed and a titanium skeleton with nervous system are installed. finally minor augmentations are made that allow them to conitune as terminators such as physical sensors and and enhanced eyes, olfactory and aural sensors. Now though most A.I. are called Exo.

MILITARY TERMINATORS
Skynet has joined humanity fully, but that just means she must protect them as well as the humans protect themselves. In this way skynet took over Mars northern polar region setting up her A.I. core there as well as building factories and research facilities. once completed she began creating all her creations from the HK-tanks and HK-drones to moto-terminators to humanoid terminators that were controlled via QEC. All military vessels are to carry at minimum 10 of each type of terminator. Science and civilian vessel must have 15 humanoid terminators for security purposes.
