Born From Ashes

by HeronBlues

In 2170 Mindoir was raided by batarian slavers, killing or enslaving the entire colony. It was thought that the first human spectre, Commander Shepard, was the sole survivor of the brutal attack. But when evidence that his sister is alive comes to light, his world is turned upside down. Profile has full description.

A/N: I was digging through my document folders and found this oldie! I wrote this ages ago while trying to figure out how to portray the geth. And since we just talked about said robots with Tali, it seemed like a somewhat natural place to put it.

Anyhow, most of my writing time has been eaten up outlining ME2. In the meantime, I suggest checking out ZFX's ME2 Trailer Mashup because it is beautiful and a large source of inspiration for me. :)
