A/N: So, we've reached the 500 views mark in three days, that's a new record. A record that didn't exist until five seconds ago. To confirm something:

I sat in the bed that I was given to by Lyna and flipped through the settings on my Nexus IV. To be honest there were so many options on the Nexus IV. The connection was much faster than the Comcast internet I had back at Earth. I continued to scroll through the add ons as my eyes began to get tired.

Eventually I closed the Nexus IV down with a simple Power Down thought, and then I went to sleep.

"KYLE…"

"What? Who are you? Why are you in my dreams?"

"WE ARE KNOWN AS VERITY, THE AVATAR OF TRUTH."

"Avatar? Please tell me you don't fly Ikran and were blue."

"WE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT WERE IN YOUR MELD."

"Uh… The people that gave me a much older lifetime? Are you those people?"

"YES."

"I guess I should thank you, I wouldn't have lived to fight in the reaper war. Also, you wouldn't happen to be the same person that pulled me into this universe, would you?"

"PARTLY, YOU WERE ALSO PULLED INTO THIS UNIVERSE DUE TO YOU LEAVING YOUR MASS EFFECT GAME OPEN. LEAVING IT OPEN ALLOWED US TO EXTRACT YOU INTO THIS UNIVERSE AND GIVE YOU CERTAIN HEALTH AND KNOWLEDGE BOOSTS."

"Riiight… Any other things you want to address to me before I wake up? Or is this all a lucid dream?"

"DREAMS ARE OUR WAY OF CONTACTING YOU. YOUR PLACEMENT INTO THIS UNIVERSE IN 2076 WILL DRASTICALLY CHANGE THE WAY THE REAPER WAR TAKES PLACE. IF YOU MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS,YOU CAN DRASTICALLY CHANGE THE OUTCOME. THAT IS WHY WE PUT YOU IN THIS TIME PERIOD, 110 YEARS BEFORE THE START OF THE REAPER WAR."

"So, what happens after the Reaper war? Do I live in peace, or do I get terminated?"

"IF YOU DO NOT USE THE CRUCIBLE AND EVERYONE SURVIVES, YOU WILL GET TO LIVE THE REST OF YOUR DAYS IN PEACE. HOWEVER IF THE CRUCIBLE IS ACTIVATED, YOU WILL HAVE FAILED. THE VAPORIZATION ENDING OF MASS EFFECT 3 WAS THE TRUE ENDING. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS A LIE."

"Okay, so I have two options, alert everyone by 2183, or face certain annihilation. Perfect."

"NOT EXACTLY. EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON YOU, EVERYONE DEPENDS ON YOU. YOUR MERE PRESENCE HAS ALREADY CAUSED A CHAIN OF EVENTS THAT WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED."

"What.. do… you.. mean?"

"LYNA RILAC WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BENEZIA'S MOST TRUSTED COMMANDO."

"What…"

With that, a voice woke me from my dream.

"Kyle, I'm taking you to Lavin Training Grounds to test your abilities. Whether you like it or not, you're coming along." Lyna said.

The sentence surprised me, an Asari commando in training, telling me that she wants to test my abilites. Of course I responded quickly, "Yeah, I'm up for it."

If there was one day that I wasn't surprised at all, I'd have a pretty boring life.

So we headed to Lyna's V9.1N Skycar, and started our journey to the Lavin Training Grounds. I was engulfed in my thoughts the whole trip, seeing as Lyna and I were not much of the talking type.

I'm going to be older than Shepard, I have more people depending on me than Shepard ever did. The whole thought of me changing the universe is overwhelming. I guess now is better than ever to make a date for me telling Tevos and the current councilors of what is happening or better yet, what will happen. 2096… No. 2086? 100 years of preparation? How will they even take me seriously? They denied the blatant truth in the original series. How are they supposed to believe me?

A secondary party would be nice to have. Someone along the lines of Javik… Javik… I need to get to Eden Prime. There, I can revive Javik, and convince the council that the Reapers exist. Then again, how long can Protheans live? Probably longer than Asari.

"Snap out of it, Kyle. We're at the Lavin training grounds." Lyna's voice shook me out of my thoughts.

I nodded my head, "Yeah, sorry about that. By the way I did some research on my Nexus IV, and to be honest. I found quite a bit of information about these 'Protheans'."

I visibly put air quotes around Prothean so I could not blow my cover. "All you need to know is that they were a race that existed about 50,000 years ago," Lyna stated

"So, how long did the Protheans live?"

"It is rumored that they lived to be 500 years old."

500 years, the life issue is settled, now I just have to find out how to get to Eden Prime.

Without the use of a Mass Relay, the journey will be impossible. However, if we could salvage a Prothean Vessel, we'd be good., the results could prove worthy of our time.

"Come on, the trainers aren't going to wait all day for you," Lyna said as she rolled her eyes. To be honest, I could actually hear her rolling her eyes.

Lyna led me into the training facility, where I started to get a lot of odd looks from some Asari. We approached an Asari that looked quite familiar. The Asari looked up from her work and noticed me, her body engulfed in blue, and I was put into stasis. "Shiala, what are you doing?" Lyna gasped.

"You tell me. An unknown species walks into Lavin, do you really expect me to remain calm?" Shiala questioned.

The stasis wore off at the end of Shiala's sentence, "I hardly pose a threat, I have little to no combat training anyways. I know you're wondering what species I am, your answer is Human, a species of one."

Shiala looked towards me with a cold glare, "Are you expecting me to believe that you are the last of your species?"

"Not necessarily, I do not know where the rest of my species is located. All I know is that I arrived upon this world with very little knowledge of what happened to me," I stated.

Lyna moved in front of me, "I am taking the Human to the training grounds, you don't like it? You can kiss my ass."

"The human? Are you serious? You know my name, Lyna. I suggest that you use it," I spat.

"No need to be hostile, all I'm trying to do is get Shiala to understand our problem."

I backed off and Shiala did the same. "Lyna, you know that I will have to tell the Council about him," Shiala warned, effectively striking fear into me.

"We can't take him to the Council, they'll torture him for information on his species. Tevos would probably give him to the STG for him to be some lab rat," Lyna yelled as I took a step back from the arguing Asari.

"It's your only option. Either you turn him into the councilor, or risk taking a one way trip to the Terminus."

"You're worse than I thought, Shiala. You'd give Kyle to the council instead of helping him try to get back to his people."

"I'm just trying to keep us both alive, but if you'd rather run off into the Terminus with this thing," Shiala threatened, gesturing over to me, "be my guest."

Now was my time to step into the argument, "Whatever these Terminus systems are, they're much better than this 'Council'!"

Lyna gave a nod of approval and turned back towards Shiala, "Shiala, consider this my official resignation from Asari Commando Training."

Shiala took a few steps back, clearly in surprise at what Lyna had just said. I glanced towards Lyna, who was standing still with fire in her eyes. Lyna tore a badge that I hadn't really noticed until now off of her breastplate. "You can have this, Shiala, seeing as I'll no longer need it."

Lyna took me by my arm, and led me to the exit of Lavin Training Grounds. "So… I guess we're not going to train," I joked as we headed for Lyna's V9.1N skycar.

Lyna slowly turned her head towards me. "Do not joke about what just happened. I just sacrificed my entire career to save your life. Now we have to get off of Thessia, and go to the Terminus systems," Lyna spat, clearly not trying to hide the venom in her tone.

"You don't have to be so hostile, all I'm trying to do is lighten up the mood. Also, if I was in your position, I would have done the same damn thing. " I said, keeping my cool despite Lyna's anger.

"And you don't have to try to be funny every five seconds. In all honesty, it pisses me off that you absolutely feel the need to joke about our misfortune."

I said nothing, I just looked out the window of the skycar refusing to say anything to Lyna for the time being. To my surprise Lyna stopped talking to me after I stopped replying.

So, out of boredom I opened up my omni-tool and started to connect to the extranet. To be honest, the extranet is quite different from the internet. The amount of information that I found through one search made Google's most searched term look like a spec of dust.

I powered down my Nexus IV, and started to plan the next move Lyna and I would make. We could buy a civilian corvette, then again, I don't know how much credits Lyna has. The Migrant Fleet would be a good place to seek refuge, though I don't know how trusting Quarians currently are. I could tell Lyna that I remembered that my home was somewhere beyond Relay 314, in the Orion Arm.

No, she wouldn't risk a trip through Relay 314, even to get me back home. I could 'accidentally' lose contact with Lyna in a few years to try to contact the Geth. Though the Geth would probably shoot me out of the sky. Feros… I will risk going to Feros for Prothean technology in a few years.

If I take Lyna, she'll probably become suspicious of my knowledge. I don't want her to find out, at least not until the First Contact War begins. If Lyna finds out, I'll be in a bit of trouble.

I stopped thinking for a moment as Lyna's skycar began to decelerate. I looked out of the skycar's windows once more, where I saw an asari shuttle heading for Lyna's apartment.

"Hey Lyna? Who is in that shuttle heading for your apartment?"

A/N: That wraps up the chapter for now. To be honest I never meant for Shiala to be heavily involved in the scene where we are getting ready to leave Thessia. Also, I started school again, so chapter updates will become less frequent. Thanks to loads of people for following, and Bler for beta-reading.
