AN: Howdy, sorry this chapter is so short. I um, should probably talk about Biotics. Just so that any one who hasn't played Mass Effect can be brought up to speed. In the Mass Effect Universe some life forms can generate Mass Effect fields using element zero modules embedded in their tissue. This lets them alter the mass of objects, move objects telepathically, and it lets them create spatial distortion. All Asari (blue skinned long lived aliens; resemble thin human females) are biotics. Some Humans are Biotics.

In the 2150's a series of tragic star ship accidents dispersed element zero over populated area's. This created the first human biotic's via in utero exposure. That is to say that when pregnant women were exposed to element zero, some of their children developed biotic abilities. Others developed bran tumors. The children that survived were sought out, and given electronic brain implants at puberty to enhance their abilities. The L2 Implant, the first implant to improve biotics abilities enough to make them offensively viable, are known to cause medical complications. Such as insanity, mental disability, and crippling pain. Modern implants are much safer. Also it should be noted that Human Biotics cannot read or control minds.

Himalayan Lab Complex, Earth

Commander Shepard, hero of Earth, Shadowed the totally not creepy blue haired girl to the entrance. Shepard wasn't wearing any armor. Well, they did have their newly acquired super tight pants. But Shepard figured that'd offer about as much protection as a pre used Gavorn brand condom. So they'd have to rely on their wits to survive.

"Mind the Door"

So that door looked like it was smashed in. And most of the impact craters were about the same size as their guides fists. And past the door their was a creepy red room. In the room there was a table. On the table there was a body. And the body didn't have a head.

Someone had obviously pilfered the body. And it occurred to the Commander that the pants they were wearing would fit on that body perfectly.

Mnesia suddenly spoke up, "This place used to be the Jewel of Crystal Tokyo's Research and Development Department. Then, the Aoen war began"

"Aoen war?"

The Blue haired girl eyed the next door. Her expression contorted.

"That is not dead which can eternal lie

And with strange aeons even death may die"

Commander Shepard fell to their knees. Their head was pounding. It felt like she was just burning up.

"Fu-fuck"

And then everything faded to black.

When things flickered out, Shepard wasn't exactly expecting a trippy dream sequence. But life is just full of surprises, so she found herself trapped in a really trippy dream sequence.

In her minds eye Shepard could see red sky's. An ocean of frost covered bodies. Daemons huddled among this mass holding up children.

From Shepards suspiciously well placed spiritual camera angle she could see a blue haired worrier approach. They wore a Uniform that bore a strong resemblance to the clothing of the Blue eyed girl. And they, they were stained by black blood. It went up to their neck.

When the Daemons saw this figure they held fast to the children. Daring the worrier to act.

The Worrier did act. There was a flash of blue, and the Daemons burst open. Ice crystals burst forth from their skin. Then, the crystals sucked back into their twisted forms. And their skin liquefied. A puddle of dark dark water gathered where the Daemons had stood.

The dark water snaked its way towards the Blue haired worrier. The stream wove its way through the sea of dead. It gathered at her feet. It disappeared into her. Her feet were drinking up the crimson and pitch black draught the way that a sponge soaks up dish water.

After the last drop of dark fluid had disappeared this warrior edged towards the children. She was smiling gently. She approached the children with her hands up. Moving slowly, as if she was afraid that her presence would startle them.

But the children- they changed. Their frames shook. Their bodies contorted. Hands became claws, chest cavities burst open to reveal rows of serrated teeth, and their jaws split in two.

The blue haired worrier was still smiling, gently. Her eyes glistened. She whispered something. Something Shepard could not hear. And everything disappeared in a flash of blue light.

Shepard woke up. They were on the floor. The blue haired girl was staring down at them. Her head was titled to the side.

"Are you feeling all right Commander?"

Brave Commander Shepard, the hero of earth, nodded weakly. The Blue eyed girl carefully lowered herself to one knee. She put one hand on the commanders head. And she smiled, gently.

"It feels like you have a fever."

'A fever',thought Shepard. That would explain the dream.

"Shabon Spray", the blue haired girl began. Her voice dropped with each syllable until the last piece of the incantation, "Freezing" was barely audible. There was a week glimmer of blue light. A paper thin layer of frost coated the Commanders forehead. It quickly melted. Cool water trickled down the commanders forehead. It took away the heat. It took away the pain.

Little did Shepard realize that this was no ordinary fever. There was an implant in her head. An implant she couldn't know about because, of course, this wasn't her body. It belonged to another Shepard. A Shepard who never met their mother. A Shepard that grew up on earth. A Shepard that possessed a very powerful ability-

They were Biotic.

Of course, this Shepard didn't know that. How could she possibly know that? So there she lay. In a body that was not her own. Underneath red lights. Soaking in energies, and memories, from this dimension like a sponge. She was a Biotic. But in this dimension she was becoming something else. She was changing.
