Warning, you will not understand this chapter if you do not go back and reread Chapter Two. I redid it and re posted it but no alert was given. Repeat, Chapter Two is no longer the same as it once was.

Commander Shepard moved through his personal cabin before he heard the door to his cabin suddenly open with a mechanical hiss. Shepard turned his head to see Dr. Chakwas running into his room, her head looking around frantically before spotting him.

"Commander, sorry to intrude but you've got to see this." Dr. Chakwas said as she rushed up towards him before handing him a small plastic card.

"What is this?" Shepard asked as he turned the small plastic thing over and ran his fingers over it, he could see the mystery man's picture plastered onto it.

"It's a drivers license, his to be exact. There hasn't been licenses like this for God knows how long. That's how I got his name and where he was from but I didn't think of looking at the date he was born. Look at the date of birth...over three hundred years ago. According to this, he's only twenty years old." Dr. Chakwas said as she pointed at the small printed ink on the card, Ethan's birthday plastered in black ink.

"How can that be? He would've died long before now, there's now way he could still be alive." Shepard said as he looked at the card and then back towards Dr. Chakwas.

"Precisely, I contacted the Salarians on Sur Kesh and they said they haven't seen anything like this. Which reminds me, Mordin said to contact him as soon as possible. He's available on vid com whenever your ready." the older woman said as she shifted around on her feet before Shepard nodded his head.

"Head back to the Med-Bay and I'll be there shortly." Shepard said before the older woman saluted him and ran off and out of his room. Shepard walked over to a small console before pushing a flashing button, the image of a Salarian popping up in a smaller hologram.

"Hello Shepard, it's been awhile I believe." Mordin said, his frog like eyes blinking as they stared at Shepard from the console.

"Dr. Chakwas has informed me that you've found something out about our mystery man who continues to become more of a bigger mystery." Shepard said as Mordin raised his arm and pressed a few buttons on his omnitool.

"My people and I have been looking into the matter, some of our top scientists. We have all come to the same conclusion, conclusion proving to be..problematic." the Salarian said as Shepard crossed his arms before arching one of his eyebrows.

"Give it to me straight Mordin, what are we dealing with here and more importantly, who?" Shepard asked as Mordin straightened back out and looked back at the Commander.

"We did a pulse relay to examine the cosmic and electric energy readings back at the point in which you said he appeared. It appears that massive amounts of cosmic energy built up just as the Normandy passed over, creating a energy portal of some sort. The readings we found were astronomical and astounding." Mordin said, his face blank of most expression as Shepard placed a hand on his forehead and shook it side to side.

"That still doesn't explain to me how he is hundreds of years old. He should have died a long time ago Mordin, how is he here and now?" Shepard asked as the amphibious creature went back to looking at his omnitool.

"Yes, I apologize. You've heard of the parallel universe theory correct?" Mordin asked as Shepard nodded his head.

"Whatever opened the portal seems to have been connected to a source we can't identify. We have come up with the conclusion that the man was taken from his own universe and through the portal into ours. Given that the portal itself would have traveled through time and space itself and broken the laws of common physics, it ejected him into our universe hundreds of years ahead of his own. That portal is closing quickly though Shepard, without having the energy it once had, it will soon be gone forever as if it had never been there to begin with." Mordin said as he stood to attention in the hologram.

"Wouldn't that have created a time paradox though? I thought time travel was extremely dangerous...well in theory?" Shepard asked as Mordin shook his head side to side in response.

"Yes, if time travel were real it could pose disastrous results to the universe and it's people. The mystery man is not from our universe though, so there technically would be no consequences on his part if it were to be real, which it's not. I took the liberty of researching the name and place you gave us and the time period Dr. Chakwas gave me, there is no Ethan Morgan of Whitechapel, Canada in this universe. We did find a family with the last name of Morgan, but suffice to say, he never existed in our current universe. That is why his DNA doesn't show any signs of synthetics having been meshed with it like ours does." Mordin said as Shepard looked around as he tried to collect his thoughts before he nodded his head.

"Thank you Mordin, you've been a great help. Extend my thanks to the scientists would helped you with this project. Shepard out." Shepard said as he pressed another button, ending the vid com chat. Shepard looked at the license once more before taking in the man's brown eyes and the smile on his face.

"God, can't there ever be a dull moment in my life for once?" Shepard said before walking out of his quarters.

Ethan's POV

Ethan could feel a cold chill run over him as light poured into his eyes once more as he found himself standing in a white abyss. He looked around, having no sense of time or direction as he saw light at every turn he looked.

"Hello? Is anybody there? Anybody?" Ethan asked aloud before the light around him began to dim down until he noticed he was inside his old room. Ethan looked around before he saw his mother sitting on his bed, wiping at her eyes as she looked at the missing wall in his room. Boards now stood where his wall and windows once had, he could heard the wind blowing outside as it rained.

"Mom! What's wrong! What's happening to me?" Ethan asked desperately as he moved to touch her, his hand just going right through her as she began to cry into one of his bed pillows.

"What the hell?!" Ethan hollered out in shock as he backed away quickly, looking at his hand and then his mother.

"I can still hear you...my baby boy. Oh God...why God, why?" his mother asked before Ethan noticed how she began to fade. He watched as she got up and opened his door before leaving his room, everything starting to become transparent. Ethan moved towards the doorway as he tried to open the door, only to be greet by darkness as he looked around and noticed he was inside a black abyss now as he felt a bitter cold begin to overcome him.

"Mom...what's happening to me? What's happening to me!" Ethan said as he fell to his knee's before laying down on the floor and curling up in the fetal position, tears making their way down his cheeks before his body faded away once more.

What do y'all think? I'm taking a new turn with this story!
