Damn I'm on a roll, 4 chapters in 2 days.
Now, time to reveal the past and answer any questions you have about Reavus and the Necris.
There was an awkward silence in the shuttle in the way back to the Normandy, never had Shepard, Garrus or Javik seen a Reaper so viciously torn apart by one person for that matter. Reavus sat in the corner contemplating his next steps now that he was free of the Reapers. Shepard looked over to his new acquaintance, "I need to be debriefed by my superiors, I need you to come with me." Reavus who seemed to be in a very calmed mood despite that massacre not three minutes ago replied "Of course Commander, there is much I need to let you know. If you want to see more of that ass-kicking, I'm gonna need your help."
The shuttle landed and Shepard immediately headed to the QEC comm room with Reavus in toe, causing quiet a few sideways looks from all the crew members they passed. Lt James Vega who was punching a boxing bag completely froze on the spot when he saw the blue glowing, black armoured, silver horned, red eyed, sword wielding, humanoid alien walk past him. He just thought to himself "Jeez commander, you giving me a reason to call you loco".
Shepard walked in to comm room with Reavus waiting outside, he looked inside the room and saw what appeared to be Shepard's superior who he refered to as Admiral Hacket. "Shepard, what did you find there", Shepard looked over his shoulder to see Reavus watching them. "Our suspicions were right sir, that eezo dark energy signature was alive". He continued to explain what happened on the asteroid and eventually he gestured Reavus to approach. "Greetings Admiral Hacket, my name is Reavus. From one Admiral to another I have to say congratulations to you two on making it this far in the war, most other races I've seen hardly lasted a month before the war was lost to the Reapers".
Hacket with a look of surprise replied "How do you know how we have been doing". Reavus just had a grin, "I may have been kept in stasis but that didn't mean I was unaware of my surroundings in the galaxy. I know that the Commander here delayed the Reapers three years ago, and I know that you are building the dark energy emitter that my kind had no faith in. 'Oh sure lets put all our chips on an ancient alien weapon that we have no idea what it does.' Regardless, Thank you for your help."
Hacket who was very interested in this new alien began; "What was your race, how did your war end with the Reapers. The Commander here tells me you and your kind nearly beat the Reapers". Reavus looked down with a sigh and began; "My race the Necris was a highly military based race. We were the pinnacle of the galaxy in every way and never had much trust in A.I's from the day we invented the first computer. A point we proved when we learned of the Reapers from the ruins we started discovering during our colonisation of other systems. When we also learned that the Citadel and the Relays were Reaper technology, we came to the conclusion to not base anything we built off that technology. We used it as a jumping platform when we needed but other than that, we never touched it. Eventually one day we had an idea, what is better; a robot, or a living organic sentient being. This kicked off our primary military plan that truly would have beaten the Reapers; 'Project Organid', the intention to build an entire fleet that composed of living ships, able to heal almost instantly when hurt, generate a near endless supply of resources, able to survive any environment. We would have been able to match the Reapers ship for ship and we would have won the war and to base any AI we created off Project Organid to ensure its loyalty. Unfortunately thanks to that bitch Sovereign, the Reaper invasion started early, before Project Organid was ready. As far as I know we did manage to build one Organid factory at my homeworld of Namocron".
Shepard stopped him there to ask "I noticed while you were still in that stasis tank that you seemed to have an almost human appearance?" Reavus looked over to Shepard and smiled, "Very inquisitive of you, the human race has existed more times than one in this galaxy Shepard. Yes, basically the Necris are humans at heart with the only difference being that we were better. We are super strong, super fit, super fast, super intelligent and we are natural biotics, but that's because we evolved on a hostile eezo-rich high gravity world. Our military wing made us stronger when they mutated our DNA to make us even more...able".
Shepard interrupted again, "What did you mean when you said you were the only one of your kind among your kin?". Reavus looked down again, "That was another of our plans to fight the Reapers, it was about two years into the war. I had the idea to harvest the energy of a Mass Relay and convert it into a dark energy weapon. The experiment failed when my indoctrinated brother interfered. The Relay blew up but instead of its usual supernova, my brother and I absorbed the resulting blast. We were the only ones to survive but we had become super biotics. Of course the flipside to that coin was that only I was the one who could kill my brother, self sustaining energy beings can only be killed by one another. That was the body you saw in that vision I showed you, the final battle against the Reapers before we had to retreat. The Reapers knew that with my power evolving with the death of my brother that they had to stop me, that allowed my forces to retreat. The reason the war ended that day and why we didn't try amass another attack with the Organid factory under construction was because of all the indoctrinated people that sold us out. We decided to leave all master commands with me since I couldn't be indoctrinated. It was our only option, we couldn't risk losing any more than what we lost already. And incase you were wondering about my homeworld, why the Reapers didn't destroy it, is because we erected a machine that generates an artificial ion storm around Namocron and its star. Any Reaper that enters is destroyed on the molecular level".
The three stood in silence for a second, the Hacket broke the silence, "This factory you mentioned, was it ever completed?" Reavus looked up, "I strongly believe so, it was in orbit around Namocron and could build itself since it was an Organid. What makes me more certain is that I can sense that my people are still alive and are probably in stasis waiting for me. Commander Shepard, Admiral Hacket, I request that you offer me assistance one more time, I know where Namocron is and I ask that you help me get there. Help me do so and the race that haunts the Reapers, the race they thought they purged that is the Necris Empire shall return."
Shepard and Hacket looked at one another and nodded in agreement. "Done, you have our full co-operation. Shepard, make it happen, we need all the help we can get." With a salute the Commander Reavus left the comm room and set course for the Necris homeworld; Namocron.
