Disclaimer: I don't own Mass Effect, anything marked * * is technology that I thought of and I will explain the tech in the story or on the bottom in Codex, I will use OCs and will give a short definition of them on the Codex. If it looks like I copied someone in some way please tell me on a review along with who I copied and there story that I copied from.

Chapter one: A new assignment.

"LT commander Johnson Shepard you have been transferred to the SSV Normandy. Report to Captain Anderson at docking bay E14 tomorrow at 1000 hours." The message said as Shepard played it to find the bay.'At least it's someone I know this time.' It was a few minutes before he found the bay. There is a crowd of servicemen at front of the bay waiting as well. He checked his Omni tool see the time is at 949 hours. As he waited he looked around and saw Kaidan an former squad mate from Elysium.

At 1000 hours the bay door opened and Captain Anderson came out. "Officer on deck" one of the servicemen said and the group saluted. "Stand down." The crowd relaxed. "I'm sure you all are wondering why you all are here. You are all here for you were chosen to man the newest class of ships." He turned around and lead them in. In the bay was a ship that's design was unknown to him but looked like a cross between a System Alliance ship and a Turian ship. "As some of you may as guessed the ship as a cross between System Alliance and Turian design because it's was joint project between both groups to make a new kind of ship. I give you the Normandy a stealth frigate. You will be her assigned crew. Now head inside and you will find your assigned station." As the rest of the crew went to their stations Shepard walked up to the Captain and saluted saying. "LT commander Shepard reporting for duty."

"At ease commander, it's good to see you again. How have things been going for you?" Anderson replied to Shepard. "Fine. Can do without the fame sir it's not what I signed up for." Shepard said. "Please call me Anderson like I said told you to at Elysium. And I'm afraid it's not possible for the fame, not after the fact it was broadcast that you defended Elysium near single handedly to all in Alliance space .""I was hopeing it was not like that. So can you show me around?""Sure." With that the two walked in the ship and Anderson started with the cockpit and then showed the CIC. "As you can see the CIC is different for it was made Turian for they have their commanding officers within their men and not behind them. The Alliance brass wanted to have it tried out with the Normandy and see how effective it is for us." Anderson said to Shepard answering his unspoken question. The two went to the Com room and then to the crew deck were the Med bay, sleeping pods, XO room,and life support were after that they went down the elevator to the last deck was where the Cargo bay and engineering deck was.

"Anderson what is that over there." Shepard said pointing at what looks like a Mako but not exactly the same. "That is the *M36 stealth Mako*.""Stealth?""It was made to be used alongside the Normandy for ground missions that need stealth. It's different from the M35 with 2 coaxial mounted machine guns and a 165mm MAC gun (mass accelerator cannon). In the armor there is a reactive compound that when exposed to a current it bends light around it. It's less effective when it moves for it causes a simmer to appear. Other than that it's like a M35 and be used like one."" That's useful. I'm guessing there is now a *M36*?""Yes but it will not be in full production to replace the M35 for 3 months."Anderson said as he explained the M36 stealth Mako to Shepard."Let's head back up to the crew deck and eat before we start our duties." Anderson told Shepard. "I understand Anderson.""Oh. One last thing we will have a addition to the crew in one week after we get the addition we will go for the shakedown run."" Anderson can we get a shuttle and a pilot for it so we don't have to be reliant on but the Mako and the Normandy to get from place to place or getting off the Normandy for a mission." And then the two went up to eat.

Codex

M36 Mako: The same as a Stealth M36 without the stealth tech.

M36 Stealth Mako: A idea I got from the Tactical Cloak from Mass Effect 2 (note Tactical Cloak tech in use in Mass Effect one for the story.)

Personal:

Johnson Shepard

Class: Solder

Psychological profile: War hero

Background: Spacer

Before anyone asks no the Normandy does not have the stealth tech the M36 has nor will the shuttle because they just made it and have not made versions for shuttles or ships.
