Chapter :7 The project
(Shepard's POV)
{Shepard's journal}
Still have no idea the year or month so I'll just cut to it
Burpy got sick a while back had to take him to somewhere called the light we got ambushed by Blakk's men at the entrance of the well had to hold them off until Eli got back he smelled like he crawled through five miles of Dextro sewage, a week later a creature from the deep caverns attacked a small village a few caverns over took me down last thing I remember Pronto setting the place on fire {End
"105, 106, 107" I heard foot steps " yeah Kord 108"
"Hey ah what are you doing?" Kord asked
"109 hanging sit-ups great for the core muscles 110" I grunted
"Well any ways I need some help and well you wouldn't happen to know anything about machinery like our mecha beasts would you?"Kord asked curious as always
now just hanging upside down I said "when training for the N7 program I was forced to learn all sorts of things shuttle repair being one so yeah I guess I do" I finished dropping from my bar
"Sweet thanks Shepard these upgrades are going to be awesome" Kord said bubbly with enthusiasm to get started
A few days later
"So element zero how does that work?" Kord asked
"Well it's a mineral that's formed when a star dies and go's supernova" I explained "we refine it into dust and use it in our starships FTL cores and also throughout the entire ship you give it a positive charge to increase the mass of an object and a negative charge to lower the mass this allows for artificial gravity or faster than light travel" I finished
"Wow thats awesome" Kord said
"it's not really awesome if you're exposed to it on a daily basis" I stated longing for a spacefaring ship again preferably the Normandy "that's also how one gets biotics. But I wasn't lucky enough. It only happens to people when they are exposed to Ezo inside the womb"
"This all sounds like a bunch crap from a si-fi vid" Kord stated with a chuckle "can ya hand me a wrench?" Kord asked "they're in the cabinet over there" he finished pointing at it
"Sure. Hey I found a glitch in gliders circuits you want me fix it" I asked knowing the answer
"Of course I want you to fix it... After you get those parts" Kord said
"I know just checking these are your mechas after all" I said in defence
This back and forth conversation continued for about 4 hours until we finished just as Eli knocked on the garage door "hey lovebirds you done in there" Eli mocked
I opened the door and replied "yeah we'd have been done sooner but the grease monkey over here wouldn't stop asking about element zero" I finished pointing at Kord
"Hey I only asked once" Kord yelled
"Yeah once an hour" I said back
"Anyway the upgrades are in may I present our new and improved mecha beasts" Kord said bowing in the direction of the machines
Eli looked confused so I explained "It's whats on the inside that matters we overclocked the kinetic dampeners and added better exhaust pipes to add some speed for the mod but Kord said that's all I can say he wants a grand unveiling" I said in matter of fact tone
"Well if they're better then let's ride" Eli said
