"The wormhole was the center of many scientific minds for years alongside the mass effect, not only was it believed to lead to the Andromeda galaxy but it was also believed that whoever made it also might have seeded humankind which combined with the protheans lead to many religions to revaluate their beliefs. When the systems alliance was formed in 2149 a special sciance committee was formed from many of the nations own sciance councils to study the wormhole to unlock its potential, unfortunately results wont come until 2156."

-Historical note about the Isan wormhole-

"We fled thats what we did, whilst the bird brains believe we were dead after what they done to earth in 61 we are actually in the Andromeda galaxy trying to start a new live. It wasn't easy at all between the rapid advance of the turians and the politics who were trying to get the wider galaxy to stop them, im surprised we got here at all let alone with a million people. Still even with a whole new galaxy to call home we can't make the same mistakes they did and just grab whatever we can, no we must grow and adapt if we are to survive and maybe one day we might return h-no the milky way not home, because even if the children after us remember earth they'll only know live here and so we must make this a place they can thank us for. And if our children decide to reclaim our blue world then thats their choice."

2997:AD

November 21st

Andromeda Galaxy:Heleus Arm:Nova Prime system

Terra Prime: New london DC

1230: earth time

Terra Prime was the beating heart of humanity in their new home, founded during humanity's first exploration out of the Heleus cluster in 2205:AD it soon was chosen to become the capital of new humanity thanks in part to its strategic position in the Arm of Heleus and its beauty as well as resources.

If Terra Prime is the heart then New london DC is the pride of humanity, positioned on the west coast of the planet's largest landmass NLDC as it was called was home to the government and military leaders of humanity in the Andromeda galaxy as well as the main spaceport for traffic to and from Terra Prime.

The city itself as its name implies was made in the style of the old london from earth but with hints of non-british culture as well including the neon lights of japanece fashion,the fast food restaurants of old US and many others. NLDC's most notable landmark however was the governmental palace housed in the center of the city, the palace was designed based on the Volkshalle in terms of scale but had a more angled shape and no curved edges to speak of. The building was built in a way to be both an assembly hall and a source of governance for both the planetary and the rest of the human civilization in Andromeda.

With the higher levels of the palace sits the office of the man leading humanity who was currently siting at his desk reading and looking over reports ranging from military to civilian though only the major reports that would require at least one look from him.

The man in question was david Ryder a descendent of Alec Ryder who like his ancestor wanted to make humanity stand tall and proud unlike in the milky way.

David was 30ish and had a modest physic with white skin, black hair, a straight and shaved face, short black hair and navy blue eyes. His attire fitted his status as the leader of human kind with a black business suit and red tie, fashioned shoes with red linings and finally a pair of glasses with red outlines for his own taste.

As David was finishing the latest military report the door pinged signaling that someone was outside and wanting entrer.

Looking up from his work Ryder said "Enter"

The door hissed open to reveal three men entering his office, two of which were wearing military uniforms whilst the third visiter was in a sciance attire with some glasses and a datapad.

Getting up and moving around his desk David said "lord Admiral Cole, lord Marshal Kagori and professor Alexander i take it this is something important?" He asked politely knowing that if the two heads of the military and the head of research are here in person it must mean something big has happen and that can be good or bad depending on what happens next.

Stepping forward to take a seat in front of Ryder's desk Professor Alex took a moment to find right words whilst Kagori and Cole followed his lead and sat down.

"We did it sir" was the only response David got from the scientist after a few slow moments.

David could almost FEEL the temperature in the room drop as soon as those words left Alex's mouth, they's only one thing he could be meaning…..

Turning to him David ask with his voice all seriousness "Are you sure Alex?.."

Standing up to give him the datapad Alex replied "We were able to send a probe through without problems and the time dilation matches as well as the positioning so yes im very sure, we have are now able to make the same wormhole our ancestors used and use it in reverse."

Taking the data pad and walking back behind his desk David thought about their next course of action.

On the one hand they have no idea how different their technology is to the council or even if said council still exist and how they would react to humanity being alive

Would they see them as the devils?

Would they see them as a threat long thought gone?

Or would they not remember them at all?

There was just too many unknowns to consider and not enough information to answer these unknowns.

But on the other hand many people have still remember the earth they once called home either by heritage or looking at the architecture outside, many people including David owed their ancestors and what better way to remember their struggles for survival then to reclaim their birthright.

Reclaim it from THE enemy.

Reclaim it from the past and bring it into the future.

Reclaim it from their shame.

There were and still are many opinions, reasons and prides that want to reclaim the blue world that IS their homeworld and on the eve of the thirty-first century it would be a nice sign to say how far they have come.

Still…..

Before David could continue his thoughts Lord Admiral Cole spoke his mind "I've already took the liberty of asking Hacket to start fine-tuning the new stealth ship his people have designed and assemble a crew for a recon mission beyond the wormhole"

Alex then took point from there "The ship itself has passed all the tests with flying colors and is the most advanced ship in the navy weaponry wise as well as electronics, plus whilst we can open the wormhole my people tell me they cant grantee that it will be open for more then two months so if we want more info it will have to quick."

Turning his gaze to Alex David asked "And who do you propose would lead such a mission?" they can't risk sending more then one ship thats for sure.

This time Kagori took the lead by walking over to David's desk and placing a personal folder on it then said "A new member of the spec-op's Nova crops he has an outstanding talent for leadership in small team engagements and was handpick by Anderson himself."

That got David Ryder's attention "Anderson's prodaje huh?" taking the folder and giving it a look David had to admit that this person seemed more then capable of performing this mission, high marks in combat, high marks in quick-thinking and tactical awareness, low marks in driving and a biotic of all things those are rare in this galaxy.

Looking at his name David commented "Shepherd huh" handing the folder back to the Lord Marshal he asked "So do you three ready think this is the kind of person we want on this mission?"

Siting up and straightening his posture Lord Admiral Cole answered "Well sir he's the best kind of man we CAN send on this mission."

Needing no further convincing David said "very well make the call and prep the wormhole i want detailed reports before the years over, you're all dismissed."

Standing up and saluting they all replied "Yes emperor" before departing.

Once they were all gone David took one last look at the datapad before storing it in his desk for safe keeping, when that was done he walked to the window of his office taking in the view of the capital below knowing in the near future it will never be the same.

Codex

The Terran imperium: Founded in the year 2186AD the Terran imperium was formed from the survivors of the exodus war and is the main governing body of humanity in the Andromeda galaxy. The imperium has an emperor as it head of state but he/she only has the authority to make the most important decisions (Declaring war, authorising new laws etc.) and is not above the law nor can he or she abuse that kind of power for personal gain.

The main governing body of the imperium is a council of ministers that oversee the various matters of state (minister of economics, minister of defence etc.) alongside a representative body called the senate who represents the various worlds and sign of democracy in the imperium.

The Nova Crops: The Nova crops are a branch of the imperium's special forces who specialised in small team operations, direct fire support and missions that are considered too dangerous for the average spec-force team.

Their recruits are trained at a young age at the approval of their parents and are given the toughest and meanest training that they can endure divided in to seven levels.

The final level dubbed N7 is the main augmentations that the recruits undergo before going through a final trial to test them to their limits.

Those who fail the N7 course are still given the designation N6 and are given the chance to join the other Spec-force branches.

AN: hope you guys enjoy this first chapter!

This will be slow updating as im still working on how to write stories so please be nice in that comments section and let me know what you think!

Chow!
