Don't Own Mass Effect

Prologue Arcturus, Palven

-On Arcturus station the leaders of the GHA are listening to Shepard talk about how the GHA needs to be prepared for an impending attack by revolutionaries. During her speech she mentions how her visions from the cipher are telling her of a weapon of untold power that has its schematics located on Mars.

-The leaders of the GHA disregard Shepard's claims, she leaves angrily afterwards. When Shepard leaves the politicians and generals of the GHA continue on as usual until a security technician notices something strange on his radar. A massive fleet of Cerberus and Geth ships are incoming. The security technician tries to call in support from anyone in the GHA military to help defend the base but finds his system has been hacked by the Geth. Arcturus station is defenseless except for the First fleet guarding the station that is completely unaware of the oncoming attack.

- The scene switches to Sentry onboard the Sovereign with Saren, Legion, and Kai Leng, his original squad. They watch as the first fleet is torn to shreds by Sovereign and the Geth. Next Sentry, Kai Leng, and Legion board Arcturus station.

- When Sentry boards the station he isn't going with just his squad mates, he has a joint Cerberus/Geth army coming with him, and naval support. With Cerberus and Geth behind him Sentry goes into Arcturus.

-In epic fashion Sentry leads a charge to overwhelm the GHA personal defending the base. The Geth coupled with Cerberus troops lay waste to the GHA soldiers frantically trying to defend the base.

-When Sentry gets to the military/political leaders of the GHA, they are defensless in the main center of Arcturus. Sentry has an option to kill the leaders or choose to keep them hostage and give them a trial later.

-No matter what Sentry gets off Arcturus, and watches the combined fleet blow Arcturus to space debris. The first strike of Revolutionary war has been struck. As all of this is happening Shepard arrives at Mars to begin searching for the designs of the Crucible.

-Sentry is congratulated for his success, and is informed that the League wants to see him. Sentry goes to the Palven the capital planet of the League of Equal Species to speak with the League Senate. There he is met with his army and League generals ready to contribute to the war effort, or League politicians who want to see how things play out before they make a real commitment. Either way Garrus is added to the team after Palven as a show of goodwill.

- Sentry is then informed that Citadel is going to attack Omega station as their first offensive. They want to get rid of a possible Omega-Saren alliance before it can happen. If Aria goes, then the Terminus will fall apart at the seams.

I know the first chapter is really short but there is a good reason for that. The next chapter, that involves a Reverse Effect version of the Omega DLC is where things will start to diverge based on Sentry's previous decisions. Someone said in the comments, "the story looks like it's going to get jumbled". My goal is to make sure that choices from all two games get recognized as having importance, something I thought was a little lacking in Mass Effect. Sparing Kasumi will be a factor, loyalty missions will be a factor, killing Udina will be a factor and so on. I am going to do my best to make things as clear as possible. I knew that Reverse effect 3 would be the hardest to write because of this issue but I'm going to do my best, if something doesn't make sense/gets way to complicated please call me on it.

Side note- I'm taking down my attempt to create an actual first person story of Reverse Effect, I simply don't have the drive to keep going with it, If anyone else wants to write a story set in the Reverse Effect universe, be my guest.
