EVENTS OCCUR DURING THE EVENTS OF ME2

2185 Citadel standard time

2659 UNSC Standard time

Location SR-2 Normandy headed to Rosette Nebula

"Commander Shepard picking up some unknown strangely encrypted transmission seems to be a distress signal from some new space-faring civilization if you ask me."

"Joker, I need to plot a course to this signal, let's investigate if we find a new civilization. I want to convince them of the reaper threat cause when shit goes down we need all the allies we can get our hands on."

"On it commander"

On board UNSC Dawn of a New Age. Uncharted system

For the past 98 years, the ship had been adrift heading to make contact with the second humanity or one of these species that were reliant on Enzo and warn them of the Reaper invasion and supply the Main UNCS fleets with intel and build relations with any new species, although the ship had a Slipspace Drive, Weapon thought of using it only to move the ship to a new system if the ship drifted off course, she wanted to make the ship seem as non-threatening as possible, as barging into a home world of a species with an FTL drive they have never encountered will cause a major roadblock in relations and they did not have an ambassador on board just a metastable AI one Spartan, and A pilot. During those 98 years, Weapon had been upgrading and even created a new set of armor For the Chief and Esperanza, the Chief's new armor was reminiscent of a Gen 2 Mark VI variant (Chief's Halo 4 set) it was fully packed with the armor could self-repair or even change shape if needed thanks to forerunner nanobots, she found, a fully functional jetpack the personal shielding systems on Chief's new armor was on par with the Didact's armor's shield systems, the Chief also had an energy blade that would extend out of his forearms in case of close quarter combat and all of Chief physical abilities were improved on by a factor of 10 it was pretty much everything a spartan could ever want in one suit, she couldn't wait for his reaction. And for Esperanza he got a highly advanced ODST armor with the Forerunner nanobots, a personal shielding system jetpack and his armor could directly interface with the ship or pelican stored on board. Overall, she kept scrolling through the domain's vast array of knowledge or upgrading the ship in every manner possible and she enjoyed it. While surfing the endless streams of information in the Domain she is notified of a ship coming towards them at FTL speeds? She knew Enzo / Reaper technology was capable of real space FTL but it still shocked her. Well the Ship that came out of FTL 2,000 kilometers away from the Dawn of a New Age, wanted to hack that ship but realized if it had an AI on the unknown ship then she would be screwed. But Weapon couldn't help but wonder how a spaceship looks like it is meant to fly solely in the atmosphere and the writing on the ship was in English? Had they found the second humanity and are they seriously using Enzo well shit was the only thought going through Weapons' head, things will get hard now explaining Humanities travel to the stars. Then she realized "I need to wake the Chief and Esperanza" as she woke the crew of 2 up she also fully activates the ship.

SR-2 NORMANDY CIC

Shepard, Marinda, Tali, and joker were looking at the image of this UNSC ship, somehow a new space-faring group knew perfect English as well.

"EDI did you finish analyzing the unidentified ship?"

I did it does not have a trace of Enzo and the extremely low power readings suggest this ship has been adrift, although I can see multiple CIWS guns possible point defenses, missile pods and we may also be dealing with energy weapons as well."

"Have we hailed this ghost ship yet"

Commander Shepard, we made multiple attempts but no response. said, Joker

Thali I will be having you plan out how to board this ship.

"My pleasure Commander Shepard"

"Joker can we get ready to board this ghost ship"

Commander energy levels on the ghost ship are rising, it appears that it is powering up.

Dissecting a transmission package from the ship, it is some sort of language package and it is in English, here is a recording they sent."

"This is the acting captain of the corvette, UNSC Dawn of a New Age, I am UNSCDF Master Chief Petty Officer Seria-117, we serve under the UEG United Earth Government, our race is Humans."

"EDI am I hearing this correctly? I need you to hack that ship I want everything from navigation to crew files NOW!"

"I can't do that Commander they pose a more capable electronic warfare suite, calculation say there is a 99% chance of it being Ai controlled as well, if I want to say the moment I attempted to gain control of their computers I was brutally shut out and as you humans say I am held at gunpoint that Ai could delete me and take control of the ship in a matter of seconds, I am in no position to do anything at all. Although the only thing this Ai did was steal was a copy of the Codex."

On board UNSC Dawn of a New Age

Esperanza and Master Chief had just suited up into their new suits of armor as the Weapon was expecting Esperanza was freaking out, but Chief maintained his calm demeanor, he did give a smirk when she had mentioned that the personal shielding systems on Chief's new suit were in the same league as the Didact's and the hard light blades as well as a forerunner hard light gun that she made on their voyage.

Esperanza in the meantime was getting used to his new armor system, with the ability to connect and pilot the Pelican or their Corvette from any range via neural implant upgrades given by Weapon.

"Chief Esperanza the Pelican is ready to fly, It is best if we board their ship and by the way, I have confirmed that this ship flies under the banner of the Systems Alliance or the 2d humanity, they are all part of a collective of aliens called the Citadel Council, they have a total of 9 species under their direct influence including the humans and have made contact with 5 other species, pretty much they have made contact with all of the ancient space-faring species that were reseeded after the firing of Halo, linking all data from the Codex to Both of your HUDs."

"Weapon stays on the ship for now I want to make sure no one pulls a fast on us. Esperanza gets suited up we are boarding that alien ship and broker the first contact and see if we can meet up with this Council."

2561

On board UNSC Spirit of Fire

Orbit over the Arc

"Captain Cutter you are going to want to see this, the portal from the Arc to Earth has been activated we can go home now."

"Well then recall all assets back to the Sprit tell them we are heading home."

Sorry for the long wait will add some action next chapter hopefully I hope all of the spelling/grammar is correct to drop a comment if you have anything I need to fix or any suggestions.
