Chapter 2
Hello here's Littleswiss, so I see that a few of you started follow my story. Thank you for that. I hope this chapter will be good. On a side note, Alucard, to answer your question, I honestly don't know. I hesitate to make him a battlemaster or not. On one hand a battlemaster is badass but on the other hand a krogan charging into battle like a berseker is also badass. So here is the second chapter of Half-krogan, half-badass. Do not hesitate to review. Also I will not be able to update the story until Saturday because I'm working at the hospital all week.
P.s: If you can find a better title, make a suggestion. And if you think that I should try to make a better summary tell me.
I do not own Mass effect, Bioware does. Only my character is my own.

Well what do I do now? What I have in my hands is the future savior of this galaxy. Ok try to remember what origins she is right now. I am on earth, so it means she's an earthborn. It also means that she will be in a gang. But for the rest if she will be a war hero, a sole survivor, or a ruthless only the future will tell. Maybe I should bring her to see a doctor because I don't think that to live in the street is healthy for a growing baby. Yeah I will do that. First I need to find someone to give me directions, but with the previously experience, people tend, you know, to run away from me when they see me. When I get out of the alley I realize that I'm leaving the corpse of the mother of Shepard alone. Well I can't really bury it; maybe I can find something to burn it. So I enter again the alley to search for something that can burn. Thanks to my luck I found a lot of alcohol. So it's one thing of two, now I need to find something that makes fire. Well I found nothing. Hmm… of course! Maybe with my omni-tool I can. But for this I need to have one. Ok so how do they activate one in the games? I think it was with a movement of the arm. Ok let's try this.
Perfect! I have one andit worked! Ok now how do I use it? Maybe vocals command? "Find incineration." Damn I need to get use to my new voice. Nothing, great. Sorry baby-shepard but I need to put you on the ground to find how to use this thing. When she senses that she is on the ground she starts to cry. Not again. "shhh baby-shepard" I really need to get use to speak English with these lips. "It will be over soon, so please be calm." She looks at me with her big eyes of baby and stops crying, just to start again. Shit, I can't concentrate when there's a lot of noise. So the only thing that I think of is to hmmm a song. When I start, she little by little stops crying and looks at me. Humph, she looks cute with the baby fat on her cheeks. I crouch to cuddle her on the cheeks but I think I move a little too fast and she freeze and tears start to form in her eyes. Shit "No no no. Shhhh calm down" Ok she stops to sniffle. Ok now move slowly. When I'm 40 cm from her face, she starts to stare at my finger. Well I understand it's not every day that you have an enormous finger that could destroy your face that come to your face gently. Finally well I stroke her right cheek she giggles. Dawww it's adorable! But wait is that me or I just put some blood on her cheek. Shit, that's not healthy at all. I'm interrupt in my musing by a ping and I look at my omni-tool. Well I think I found the fire I was looking for.
Well now that the body of her mother is on fire, I think I need to go find a doctor. So I finally get out of the alley. While I'm walking, no stomping is a better word; I look down to see baby-shepard is fast asleep. I look up to see a man leaning against a wall. Target acquired. When he hears me stomping to him, he, like the two before, pales considerably. Before he can do anything I stuck in in the wall with my right hand while the left is holding baby-shepard.
"P-please…" he starts. "Shut up, she's sleeping" I say the lowest possible, for a krogan. He shut his mouth and looks at my left arm to see baby-shepard. I swear I never see someone's eyes get so big. "Listen here I'm gonna ask you a question and you are going to answer: Where can I find a human doctor?" before he can answer "And do not wake her is that clear?" He nods. So he explains to me how to get to the nearest doctor. Well that's not so bad it's only 15 minutes from here. He even gives me a map of the zone on my omni-tool. So when he finished, I let him go and he starts to move until I say" If you tell this to anybody I will find you and I will end you." He gets paler and now starts to run.

Well I think the personnel of the clinic are professional, because even if they got nervous seeing me covered in blood, they kept their cool. Right now I'm in the examination room of the doctor. He's exanimating baby-shepard while I'm trying to find information about myself on my omni-tool because: 1. I have one.2. I have armor. So I mean this body had an identity.
Ha-ha! Gotcha. So apparently my name is… Garen, no clan name. Well I'm not an expert but I don't think that Garen is very kroganish. It really doesn't bother me and if someone has something to say they can say hello to my headbutts. I also discover that the first-contact war happened a few years earlier than in cannon, so that's explained why the people I met were not so shocked to see me.
"So there's nothing wrong with her, only a minor fever but fortunately you bring her before she could catch something serious. We can thank that by the fact that we clean her of the blood and that you cleaned yourself of it too." Yeah the cleaning part was… interesting. I know that the krogan have four testicles but to see it it's… strange. I also could see me in more details. The thing that caught my attention is the color of my eyes. They are yellows, like sick yellow, they are creepy and it contrast with the color of my skin that is pale, more pale than wrex. I could see what a krogan look like without their armor. I don't know how I got myself rid of my armor but I think it's a reflex that this body…no my body had. "For the fever I will give you some medications to the baby and we can think about the adopting family and the payment." Ok paying is not a problem because I saw earlier that I have a lot of money on my account that I suspect not be very clean. I'm not very rich but I have, I think, enough to live a few months…
Wait family adoption? Yeah it's logical that she will be adopted by a family and I'm not the parent material, less because I'm a krogan, but still… "Are you saying that I'm not capable of taking care of her?" The words left my mouth before I can think. Now he really gets nervous but he keeps a calm façade. "Maybe but you need to understand she need a stable environment and someone who know how to raise a human child." Good point if I was a normal krogan, but I'm not normal, I'm a human mind in a krogan body. "Listen here, I have lived more than you can imagine and I have learned how to take how myself and also I learned a lot about human culture to know your weaknesses, so I'm pretty sure that I know How." Damn I snarl again. The speech about weaknesses is to keep my cover as a krogan. "So now you are going give me the medication, tell me where I can find a bookstore, a grocery store, an apartment agency and give me the bill. You tell nothing of what happened here and I will leave you alone. Is that clear?" The doctor, the gang and the galaxy can fuck off.
