Mass Effect Project Renegade

Chapter 1: The Evolution.

Thirteen Years later…..

2148

As the lights inside Facility Aeries begin to shutdown, Dr. Alex was observing the files and paperwork on his desk with an LCD light above him, he is approached by a security detail officer. "Sir all other personal have been evacuated and all data has been move, it's time to leave."

Alex puts both his hands on his face while looking down at his files. "How did this happen, I thought this facility was hidden from the Alliance Government, we were careful of all information that came in and out of the facility, and to be traced by the funds we received."

Dr. Alex stands from his workstation and gathers the remaining files, and left the facility; unknowingly to Dr. Alex this would be the last time he stepped inside Facility Aeries. The transport ride leaving the facility was quiet, the team of Project Renegade dare not speak any word, for their facility was compromised by not being discreet with the funds they received, fortunately the Director who's at a undisclosed location, was not furious, he found the Project team a new facility, Luna base was sufficient enough, but the team of Project Renegade would now be even more careful of their work.

Dr. Alex's new office… his new home, he approached his cot and collapsed on to it, exhausted from the past events.

Several Days later…..

Thrashing metal could be heard in the large space, mangled parts of training bots, a loud siren gave off to end the session. "Final score 99999, Subject 001, Jack, Time Elapse two minutes and forty two seconds."

Applause of 99 subjects, 48 Personal from Project Renegade could be heard around the room. Jack is approached by Subject 100 May. (Black hair, Red Iris, Original Iris Teal)

"Wow, Jack… I mean Sir!" Recognizing her error she immediately goes at attention and gives a Salute to her CO.

Jack looked at her and nodded. "At Ease Sgt. it's all right."

Smiling at Jack, May was about to say something before the two is approached by Subject 002 Kai Leng.

"Well, well, well Jack a new high score, either I'm catching up to you or you're slowing down, on the training, your time was higher than the last one." Both glared at each other, while May eyes just shifted between Jack and Kai, as the stare downed seemed like an eternity, they both broke the silence with laughter Jack pulled Leng for a bro hug.

The speakers gave a ringing noise, with a synthesized voice behind it. "Attention all subject report to mess hall for lunch today's special is Chicken and tater tots."

May approached Jack a little closer "Jack.. Do you want to eat together at lunch?"

Jack Scratched his head confused why May would want to eat together. "Uh.. Sure why not."

A small smile appeared on the teenager's face as May walked towards the door to the Mess Hall.

Leng looked at Jack. "What's with May, Jack?"

Jack shrugged his shoulders, while watching May leave the room. "I have no idea, she's been asking me stuff like this since last month."

Leng just looked at the ground and shook his head. "Come on Jack let's get some chow before the platoon takes the really good pieces."

Meanwhile at Dr. Alex Cooper's room…..

Dr. Alex was just finishing up today's reports, and updating the dossier and intel collected on Jack.

Those are just the rumors, but the Director is more concerned with Alliance Affiliation with such pressing matters…. How long can we keep the Alliance in the dark, before they figure out Project Renegade?

Two years later…..

The speakers in the shuttles went active with instructions before takeoff. "Attention all passengers please secure your safety harness, to reduce pain during any problems."

Dr. Michele sat by Dr. Alex, she gazed at the Doctor with a concerned look. "Alex….."

Dr. Michele put her hand on his left leg, while Alex looked back at her, with a emotionless face. "Transferred… Where did we go wrong?"

"Alex no one could've predicted that they would of kept a closer eyes on their territory."

"Michele it was on the God Damned moon for Christ sake, of course they're going to keep a close eye on their facilities." Michele jumped a little from the sudden outburst.

"Michele I'm sorry."Dr. Alex's head slumped, with Michele putting an arm around his shoulder.

"Alex I understand that you're stressed but you can't let it get to you… Speaking of which, do you know where we are going now?"

"In our Relationship or our destination?"

"Either is fine."

"Death Valley."

Before Michele could reply the convoy of shuttles stopped. Alex stood from his seat a gazed out the window. "Why have we stopped, we're in the middle of Space."

Michele Gazed outside her window to her left to see a Carrier barring the Alliance Black Operations insignia, just connected to the shuttle. A minute later the pair is approached by a man wearing a black gasmask, beret, and trench coat. "Dr. Alex, I have a message for you on an encrypted channel."

"Who are you?" Asked Alex who seemed to have a hint of nervousness in his voice.

"I'm just a messenger, but this message is for your eyes and ears only, so Doctor Michele evict yourself from the premises."

Michele just nodded and left to the next room of the shuttle.

A Holo projector of the Director appeared on the arm tool.

"Dr. Alex."

"Director, what a pleasant surprise….. is there something wrong?"

"in a matter of fact there is, Doctor."

Alex began to feel a constriction around his neck, as it was getting harder to breath.

"Alex that was to close of a call with Luna base, the Alliance almost caught wind of our project."

"Director let me-"

"Alex, you brought Humanity to a new level in our evolution and you are a good friend, therefore I'm ordering all one hundred subjects of Project Renegade; I have a facility of my own to progress them further. Funds have been transferred to you and your entire teams account, the whole team will be debriefed and relocated to live civilian lives."

A shock was set on Alex's face, he couldn't believe what he heard, he was basically being fired, cut loose… On his project.

"Transfer?! Sir with all due respect this is my Project, The Blood and Sweat I put it in for this and you're cutting loose ends?"

"Was your Project, Alex your team …. Is what concerns me, I suspect one of them has been feeding the Alliance with information on Project Renegade this is why I'm transferring them under another team, it's nothing personal Alex, don't worry you will be well compensated for your work, continuously."

Knowing he couldn't fight a raging river as the Director, he submitted to his defeat.

"If there is any problem with the Project…"

"You'll be the first to know and to be retrieved…Don't worry yourself Alex, the Alliance Black Op thanks you for your service and dedication to the advancement of the Human Race, Project Renegade is in good hands." The transmission cuts off.
