Well hello again everyone and here's a new chapter hooray!... um I'm sorry about the earlier chapters cause it was too short so I'll try to make it longer, and thanks for follows and favs everyone if you can add some ideas I'll be open to them cause I'm jumping here blind so… on with the story!

Arun: Mr. Robert would like to remind the readers that Amano does not own Mass Effect and Starcraft and the sentinels but us OC's…

CHAPTER 3: PLAN IN MOTION

POV

It's been 10 days since I've been transported to the Mass Effect universe by Mr. Robert, Since that time I've been sending observes into the Serpent Nebula to station themselves around the area so I could have eyes and ears in that part of the galaxy with some of them traveling to the Asari, Turian, and Salarian homeworlds. I just needed to check up on them and learn some of their history. I had those observers travel through warp space to avoid getting traced by those races.

Also I've been building up my forces lately, since were synthetic we could work 24 hours a day without rest couple that with our advanced nano like technology, our factories are pumping out units faster than we could collect solarite. With my military in the green I've been focusing on what to do with Element zero, it's a great material I won't lie but it restricts progress if a race solely relies on it. I mean really, you found this great element and you think it's the best in the whole universe think again people there are so many out there and there are alternatives I mean look at oil you could just substitute it with just solar or wind why can't people find something cheaper or explore things better… huh I just remembered my old chemistry teacher saying that old quote from a certain movie 'look at it at a different angle… something'.

Okay that's enough of my ranting. So I've been doing well to say the least. With a mechanical body you don't even need to sleep and eat, so that's a plus. With most of the planet being colonized and cities being built around the bases, I started thinking on what to do with the so called 'inhabitants'. Since we are semi-synthetic (I think) we could pass ourselves as organics with our skin suit looks, plus the purifiers are essentially copies of the protoss greatest heroes with their own individuality.

So now I've named a few cities below with the old protoss ones like Antioch, and named the planet below to Aiur… what I like Aiur better, also it seems lively down at the planet below, with Andromus following what I instructed and passing the word through the purifier network the others did as what I instructed showing the protoss culture at its finest, through the construction of the xelnaga temples and buildings. It is good to say that the protoss race is best in the culture and arts section cause damn its literally a Golden city with a touch of robotics here and there.

There are Stargates and Gateways all over the planet for fast travel so in the case of orbital insertion of the enemy my troups will be swift to react, if they could enter the planet that is. With the bigger versions of the photon canons stationed around the planet, they'll be ripped apart before entering atmosphere not counting the ring of orbital stations surrounding the planet; they were designed to be a mini Cybros with their own purifier beams at the tip. And non is safe with 10 motherships accompanied with a squad of phoenixes at the helm plus a pair of carriers at their sides and with the motherships cloaking, time warping and evasive warp abilities I'd like to see them try getting near my planet.

With the defense of the planet secured and my armies at the ready it's time to send Cybros to the Citadel and tamper with a few things hehehe

*At the citadel an ancient program felt a twinge in its system*

GENERAL POV

"All units go to your assigned stations; we shall travel to the citadel"

With a single command from Arun, All of Cybros readied themselves for the trip towards the Ciradel. Sentries were checking the systems for any problems; probes were going to their assigned designations, while most of purifiers were in stasis until further orders.

With that a rip in space around Cybros appeared and with that it vanished instantly into the void of space.

Within Cybros, Arun looked at the front of the deck analyzing the smooth transition of the station within the Warp to their desired location, marveling at the beautiful display of the travel seeing the arrays of blue and white light passing. From what he remembered on the Protoss way of travel in space is that it was subtle, like liquid passing through obstacles. For enemies it would seem like the Protoss would vanish into thin air and reappear into the sides.

"It seems the Protoss way of travel is similar to that of the Eldars webway" Arun muses as he looks intently outside, he turned to speak to Andromus.

"Andromus how long till we arrive to the Citadel?"

"Within two hours hierarch"

"I see…" with that Arun continued observing the light show in front of him.

BACK AT AUIR

It was lively to say the least with a population of synthetic citizens, most of them were doing their assigned task building the protoss civilization within this system. There were agricultural structures built for the sole purpose of biofuel, Cybernetics cores for the military and population of the purifiers and sentinels, Templar archives for the history sector, Stargates and Gateways for transportation, some Khalai temples for the religion, some institutions and the like and most importantly Purifier Conclave which houses the Protoss greatest heroes and figures in their history.

The planets orbital stations are equip with their own mini Stargates for better counter measures against anyone willing to surround the station, added to that are cybernetics core at the hangers for ship repairs. In one certain Station two purifier personalities were busy with their supplies for an upcoming journey in the solar system.

With Cybros departure towards the Citadel, the purifier Mojo and Clolarion was given a task by Arun to travel to the human sector and that they should set up a base near the abandoned prothean outpost on mars to observe the humans at their primitive state. It was decided that they should take a small contingent for the journey ahead and to start making a small colony in mars.

With their orders given they set out preparing the necessities for the journey ahead. Their destination is the Local Cluster more specifically the Sol system.

CLOLARION POV

The hierarch has given his orders and I'm about to set out to the primitives homeworld for 'Watch duty' with the scout Mojo. Why the hierarch wants us to watch the primitives, I will never know. He only gave a vague instruction on why we must watch saying they have 'Great Potential' in the upcoming events within this galaxy and that he might personally meet them when they enter their galactic stage.

The station where I was preparing, was filled with activity mostly probes caring resources into the carriers and sentinels doing last minute checkups on my ship. I wonder what kind of race built this mechanics, they are so useful with their ability to construct and maintain our technology added with their defensive capabilities they are a step higher than our probes.

I have selected the best of my purifier brethrens to accompany me in this endeavor; they are the best scientist and researchers coupled with some warriors I have known since I was alive. I am proud to say this mission will be a success. But for how long it will take till we return, that is up for the hierarch to decide.

With that I have prepared a contingent of 6 carriers, 10 scouts, 3 warp prisms and within them are probes, sentries, and sentinels, and a pair of void rays. It seems too much, but I will not underestimate the primitives for the hierarch said they are favored by fate. Why they are favored is something I shall find out in the coming years.

'Executor Clolarion, we are ready to embark to the Sol system' I was contacted by the scout regarding our forces.

'Well then, let us proceed' I replied, with that the carriers engines came to life pushing the ship out of the station and into the Void. With perfect synchronicity the fleet opened up their warp drives for the journey.

GENERAL POV

Just as Judicator Clolarion exits the Theta system, Cybros enters the Serpent Nebula. There it activated its system and within its monitor it detected a massive construct measuring 44.7 km it was a massive five armed structure each arm connected to a single circular disk at its center, not too big by protoss standard since The Spear of Adun was 74.547 km and Cybros being 37 km smaller than the Spear (I just assume its size cause it says it was like 1/3 of the spear and I'm bad at math and I can't find its size).

Seeing the construct Arun felt a massive presence residing within. Knowing it was the Catalyst, the intelligence that controls the reapers. Arun sets out his plans for the coming events in the Mass Effect universe.

Taking control of a warp prism and followed by two zealots, Arun flew towards the massive station seeing towers and livable places within the massive structure but no people within. He takes note that from what he remembered was that a group of prothean scientists used the conduit and traveled to the Citadel to break the cycle, they did succeeded however they starved to death. Due to they're intervention, the Reapers were forced to travel through normal FTL speeds to the Milky Way.

Seeing a landing pad in one of the arms below he landed, activating his psi blades on the lookout for trouble followed by his escort he travels the empty streets. Walking for an hour towards the center, he finally found what he was looking for, the Keepers. They were monitoring the system of the station and completely oblivious to the danger near them, that danger was a Cackling machine bent on ruining the course of events and screwing people yet to be born.

"hehehe… my brothers as your hierarch, I command you to start slaughtering a few of these wretched thralls for research while I shall continue on ahead" chuckling madly Arun ordered his zealots to kill a few(read more) keepers and to deliver them to Cybros for research(see dissect) after that he left his escorts and proceeded towards the presidium to find the Catalyst.

As he entered one of the entrances in the area towards the Presidium he noticed a computer terminal with flashing holograms, nearing it there were images of four-eyed humanoids and two words he can't get a read on. Knowing those humanoids as the protheans he set of to work, with that he extended his arm and placed it in one of the control panels intent on hacking into the system. All he had to do was get the language package to understand what was being shown in the monitor. With a few word matching and analyzing sentences, Arun was able to understand what was shown "Harvest" and "Reapers".

"Huh a warning, it seemed that the protheans were able to give that to the galaxy. But I wonder why the Asari didn't do what they were meant to do? I mean since the Asari were the first to come here why didn't they prepare or rather why did they just ignore the threat?" he mused as he pondered on the possibilities "it could be possible that the keepers deleted it or that the Asari dismissed it and kept it as a secret" after his musings he downloaded the file along with other relevant information and stored it in his memory matrix.

With valuable information in Arun's head, he checked to find where the Catalyst was residing within the Citadel. Using the terminal, he dived into network hoping to find and possibly capture the reaper intelligence. . Unlike the Purifiers systematic network the one at the Citadel was Chaotic, to say the network was huge it was an understatement. It was more akin to that of a raging ocean with data flowing and moving in directions that would make an organic faint. As Arun slowly navigated the network he caught a glimpse of the intelligence and just the same the intelligence saw him, and within that instant the chaotic data stand to a still.

"Who and what are you?" it asked as it formed itself into a humanoid being.

Dumb struck Arun wasn't able to answer the Ai's question "do you understand me? I asked who and what are you?" it repeated again. And with that he snapped into attention, he answered the Ai back "Do you know its rude to ask that kind of question if you don't introduce yourself" he replied knowing who exactly who he was talking to.

"That is an irrelevant questioned, answer me this instant. Who and what are you? You feel… different" the Ai asked in a monotone voice but at the end it sounded intrigue. With that Arun smirked and answered the Ai.

"I am older than you, far older than what you can imagine (lie)… but I will tell you this I am a perfect fusion of what you will never achieve and the solution of your twisted answer" Arun replied in cryptic tone.

The Ai looked even more intrigue at the prospect of another solution yet it didn't get the answer it wanted, with that it scanned Arun only to found that its systems where inferior to the other Ai, it couldn't understand the data it was receiving and with that it asked again "I ask again what are you… I have never seen your kind, even back to when I was first created by my makers" it looked intently at the other hoping it will answer its question.

And with that, Arun laughed and answered the Ai "hahaha… very well, I am what you call a purifier" the Ai looked at him funny with its data scrunching up in its face.

"Purifier?" it said as it paused for a second "a device which removes contaminants?"

"Yes a purifier and you are right on the other one but not quite" Arun says as he stretches his arms wide "we were built for the sole purpose of eradicating impurities and defending the Protoss empire from its enemies" he said in a grandiose manner.

"Protoss? I have never heard of such a race" the Ai questioned as it looked into the databanks of its old makers to see if they have met such race.

"It is to be expected young one that you would never heard of them" the Ai looked back at him questioningly "for the Protoss are a mighty race, they're technology far surpasses what you could imagine. Added to that they have been observing this galaxy for a long time (lie)" and with that the Ai felt something it never felt before 'fear'

"It was amusing to see cycle after cycle falling to an intricate trap over and over again" as he said that he moved closer to the Ai "but as time moved on my creators deemed it was time to change game" and with that he activated a code and trapped the Ai within it

"Wha-" to late to react and inferior to the code used to trap it, the Ai was captured and brought closer to Arun's hand "The solution to your so called organic and synthetic problem was to merged them into one. You were partially right on that aspect but the way you did it was a flawed answer" with the shock out of the way the Ai was able to listen to the Purifier

"The way organics fear synthetics is a natural reaction for they are scared of the unknown" with that statement the Ai could agree, organics always have a natural fear for the things that they could not control. "So our makers answer to that fear was to implant personalities of the diseased into semi-robotic bodies to ease the fear and given us rights, added to that was our desire to protect the empire" Arun gave a semi-twisted version of the Purifier history with truths added into different time areas, he said as he looked into the Ai within his palm.

"So the answer to your so called problem is using dead people as templates for the synthetic personalities, cause if you make an Ai with the sole purpose of serving you and give them no reason at all to follow you, that could leave to the revolt" and with his done, Arun left the network to return to his body and placing the Ai in one of the core matrixes inside of him.

POV

With that job done I went back to where I left my escorts to see them rounding up some of the keepers and it seems they went overboard with their collecting so with a mental command I called in the warp prism from the station docking area to pick us up, to retrieve us back to Cybros. It was kinda fun really talking with the Catalyst and screwing it with half truths. I had to mix up some of the protoss timeline from when the purifiers where created and from when Artanis accepted them.

Now with the captive intelligence in one of the matrix core inside I could always keep an eye out on it 24-7. And with the added bonus of some bio data cache of the diseased races that the reapers have harvest I could potentially be the next forerunner in the galaxy.

So now I have to wait for a hundred years till the Blue bitches arrive before I do some theatrics and some trolling in the citadel history oh baby this is gonna be fun hehehe

SOMEWHERE IN DEEP SPACE

'The signal of the Catalyst has gone silent… this is troubling'

'Agreed this is most troubling, something is plotting a scheme and we don't know what it is'

'Should we activate?'

…

'The signal has returned?'

'Must have been a marginal error…'

OH GOD that was long even for me also I would like to say that I tried searching for Cybros sizes but It come out almost empty and the only thing I saw was someone saying it was around 30 km, also I would like some help in form of reviews regarding the storys plot so yeah TY for all the love…Amano out!
