Commander Shepard is the sole survivor with a synthetic sole, among other augmentations due to the Akuze incident. She's suppressed her emotions and ignored persuasions to retire in her willingness to continue her tour of duty, relying on medication to help with her nightmares and the phantom pains that have persisted. People think it's determination. It's just a distraction.

On a routine assignment, Thane Krios is distracted—then succinctly robbed of his target by an unexpected Spectre.

What happens to Shepard after the events of Mass Effect 3? This story follows a storyline where Shepard makes it out of the Crucible and is found barely clinging to life.

Humans were unpredictable. Vicious. Bullies. At least, that was what Liara heard. Now she witnessed with her own eyes that nothing could be further from the truth, making it a habit to come to the Starboard Observation Deck to watch the Commander build models of frigates and dreadnoughts.

Coming to terms with being reborn? Doable. Finding out you're in the Mass Effect universe? Slightly more difficult. I know I'm no soldier material but I want to do what I can to help save the galaxy. To that goal I will become one of the worst beings in human society. A businessman and politician. A SI/OC-story of a different kind.
