November 30, 2683/2183

Exodus Cluster

Asgard system

Asgard Station

Asgard Space Station was the headquarters of OSA's High Command for the colonies that were developed around the Mass Relays. Onboard the station, the defense committee was discussing about the new prototype ships that were developed and what their missions would be.

"The Normandy is ready gentlemen; Captain Anderson will be taking command of the ship, but his XO has not been chosen yet. Any suggestions?"

In the dark room, the committee began to whisper to one another on who should it be; until one person spoke up "Well what about Shepard?" Everyone in the room became silent when they heard that name; when he heard no contest to his suggestion, the man who spoke his name continued, while reading the dossier. "Born on Earth, grew up on a colony, then lived on starships most of his life. Both of his parents served in the UNSC; his mother was captain of the Heracles-class Cruiser 'Sun Tzu', and his father was a colonel in the marines…I kid you not, with my hand to any god that is listening, the man is a soldier through and through."

Admiral Hackett then finished the rest as he continued to read the dossier. "He has an incredible military service record; he was an ODST at first before moving up the ranks into the N7 division; during our campaign against the Terminus Systems, he single handedly held a military base from a hundred pirates; he also saved his entire team on the Akuze incident and brought an entire bunk full of slavers out on his own instead of sending his own men to be slaughtered."

Everyone in the room could only agree to the choice…nobody could question his loyalty. Satisfied with the look of assent on everyone's faces, Hackett nodded. "I'll make the call after the meeting; but for now, let's move onto other matters. Intel reports that the Batarians are in a civil war right now over the Hegemony's actions on helping the Terminus leaders and their major loss in the war against the OSA. The OSA is going to help the Anti-slavery and pirates group in exchange for their complete withdrawal of support to the Terminus Coalition. The OSA will send in SPECOPS operatives to turn the tide in their favor. Anyone have any suggestions on who to send?"

Serpent Nebula

Widow system

Citadel Relay

Normandy Bridge

In the thick cloud-like nebula, a ship twice the size of a normal Citadel frigate covered in black with the words UNSC Normandy on it was heading towards the Widow Relay. A man was walking through the CIC heading to the bridge while over the ship's intercom a voice could be heard. "Widow Prime Relay is in range. Initiating transmission sequence: we are connected. Calculating transit mass and destination: the Relay is hot. Acquiring approach vector: all station secure transit—the board is green. Approach run has begun". Outside, the Normandy was on its way to the Widow Relay—as it got closer, the Mass Relay shot out a blue lighting strike at theNormandy. "Hitting the Relay in 3... 2... 1..." As the pilot finished the countdown, the Normandy instantaneously traveled at FTL speeds.

Once the ship had passed through the Relay, the Normandy's pilot, going by the call-sign Joker had begun the checkup of the systems. "Thrusters... check. Navigation... check. Internal emissions sink, engaged. All systems online. Drift... just under 1500 K."

A Turian with white facial markings and wearing black and red armor was behind the pilot standing next to Shepard. "1500 is good. Your captain will be pleased." The Turian was a SPECTRE by the name of Nihlus Kryik. Satisfied with the results, he then turned around and walked away, but right behind him was a 7-foot-tall Spartan super-soldier keeping an eye on the guest.

"I hate that guy." said Joker. As he turned his head back in front of the holographic screen.

Kaiden Alenko was sitting next to Joker and couldn't understand why he would say that. "Nihlus gave you a compliment... so you hate him?"

"You remember to zip up your jumpsuit on your way out of the bathroom? That's good. I just jumped us half way across the galaxy and hit a target the size of a pinhead. So that's incredible. Besides, SPECTREs are trouble. I'm just glad we have one of our Spartans keeping our Turian guest company."

Before anyone could say anything, a holographic image of a man wearing civilian clothes appeared beside the pilot "By 'company' do you mean that our resident Spartan has orders to shoot him if he tries anything funny?" said Equinox, who was the Normandy's resident ninth generation Smart-AI.

Joker just smiled at what Equinox said. "Yeah, I would like to see that Turian try something; that Spartan would probably kill him before he pulled out his gun; anyway why is a SPECTRE on a UNSC ship anyway? I was under the impression that we're not exactly on good terms with the Citadel Council."

Kaidan took the opportunity to explain. "We're going to Eden Prime, not just for a shakedown cruise, but to pick up a package something the Council wants badly."

"What is it, a gift basket to the Council to apologize for how much we humiliated them in the Second Contact War?"

This time, it was Shepard that answered. "Whatever it is, they don't send Spectres to do grunt work."

Joker let that thought sink in as he looked at Shepard. "So there's more then what the Captain's letting on."

Before anyone could reply Anderson spoke on the comm. "Joker, status report."

It was here that Joker lapsed back into his professional voice as he turned to speak in front of the console "We just cleared the Mass Relay, Captain. Stealth systems engaged. Everything looks solid."

Anderson was pleased even though no one could see him "Good. Open a slipspace comm. link. I want mission reports relayed back to UNSC brass before we reach Eden Prime."

"Aye, aye, Captain. Better brace yourself, sir. I think Nihlus is heading your way." said Joker

"He's already here, Lieutenant. Tell Commander Shepard to meet me in the comm. room for a debriefing." said Anderson in a upset tone

Joker was little annoyed the Captain was upset "You got that Commander?"

Shepard let out a sigh as he was a little worried Joker pissed off the Captain and he had to take the heat. "I'm on my way." While Shepard turned to walk away he hears what Joker and Kaidan said "Pfft. Is it me or does the Captain always sound a little pissed off?"

Kaidan had a smug little grin creeping upon his face "Only when he's talking to you, Joker."

Normandy

CIC

Shepard walked down the hall toward the galactic map, he overheard Pressley, the ship's navigations officer talking about the Turian. Shepard went up to him to find out what was going on. Before he got to him Pressly, was finished talking to the other person on the line. Pressly turned and saluted the Commander. "Congratulations, Commander. Looks like we had a smooth run. You heading down to see the Captain?"

"I overheard your conversation. Sounds like you don't trust our Turian guest."

Pressly was a little embarrassed, and it showed. "Sorry, Commander—I was just having a chat with Adams down in engineering. Didn't mean to cause any trouble, but you have to admit, something's odd about this mission. The whole crew feels it."

Shepard, feeling a little confused, decided to dig for more information "You think the UNSC brass is holding out on us?"

"If all we're supposed to do is test out the stealth system, why is Captain Anderson in charge? And then there's Nihlus. SPECTREs are elite operatives; the top covert agents for the Citadel Council. Why send a SPECTRE, and a Turian one no less, on a shakedown run? It doesn't add up, but rumors have it that we are going to Eden Prime to pick up a Prothean beacon."

Shepard was a little surprised "Prothean beacon; the extinct species that pretty much everyone in council space based their technology on."

"Yes those Protheans, and I bet you anything that the Council hopes that they can get some pretty advanced technology to help them against us."

Shepard couldn't blame Pressly for thinking that way; after all the OSA was the most powerful galactic government thanks to the technologies from the Forerunners. Intel reported that the Council was pushing their scientists to the breaking point to try catch up with them. "I'll see what I can find out from the Captain." Shepard then passed Pressly and headed to the armory. There, he saw the weapons officer a Jiralhanae who was working on an assault rifle; Shepard went out the other door in the armory and made it in the comm. room there he meets with Nihlus and off to the side was the Spartan.

Normandy

Comm. room

Nihlus turned around to face the human "Commander Shepard. I was hoping you'd get here first. It will give us a chance to talk."

Shepard was curious it showed on his face as he lifted one of his eyebrows up "What about?"

Nihlus looked at the Spartan; he knew that the super-soldier was ready to gun him down if he tried anything funny. "It's about your kind and the OSA; you've all made quite the names for yourselves when you showed up in the galaxy thirty years ago, but most recently your new title is quite disturbing in Turian space; The Destroyer of Worlds."

Shepard had a little grin on his face when that title came up. No one could ever forget the day when the OSA used their most powerful weapon the Nova bomb "Your point being?"

Nihlus turned to face the Commander "Your kind has made great achievements in the three decades since you were discovered, but some of the races in Council space don't have the luxury of such powerful defenses as your people do."

Shepard got a little upset by that statement the OSA worked hard to reach this point "Maybe if the Council wasn't so scared to face the Terminus Systems and turn their back on independent colonies, maybe the races in Council Space could have those luxuries."

Nihlus made version of a Turian smile "This mission will change all of that."

Before either one could say a thing Captain Anderson walked in. "I think it's about time we told the commander what's really going on."

"As you may or may not have noticed, this mission is more than a simple shakedown run," said Nihlus, as he turned his head and looked at the Spartan, "is it really necessary for me to be accompanied by one of your Spartans?"

Anderson was a little annoyed by that question. "If we were on a Turian ship, would you have left the humans unattended?"

Nihlus didn't reply to that statement—the man did in fact have a point. It was then that Anderson continued where he left off. "We're making a covert-pick up on Eden Prime. That's why the Normandy's stealth systems were needed."

Shepard's expression turned serious. "What's the situation?"

Anderson was a little proud of his protégé for being professional. "A research team on Eden Prime unearthed some kind of beacon during an excavation. It was of Prothean origin."

Shepard couldn't believe he lost a bet to Presly. "I thought the Protheans vanished 50,000 years ago."

Nihlus a little irritated to tell the legacy of the Protheans. "Their legacy still remains—the Mass Relays, the Citadel, our drives; it's all based on Prothean technology in Council space."

Anderson then took the lead "Our mission is to get the beacon and bring it back to the Citadel."

Shepard was a little confused about handing over a potential asset to the Citadel Council "Why are we giving it to the Council? Why not keep it for ourselves?"

Nihlus wasn't happy about that "Your OSA is not the most trustworthy government in the galaxy; your people are feared and respected, but at the same time you are also unpredictable…too independent…even dangerous."

"Besides, we don't use Prothean technology, our relations with the council is strained at best. Giving them the beacon will ease tensions and improve relations."

Shepard was a little curious about the Protheans…and so he could not help but wonder; "What can you tell me about the Protheans?"

Anderson could only nod his head in befuddlement. "Only what we've learned from the Citadel Council. They ruled the galaxy 50,000 years ago then they vanished. Nobody knows what happened to them, but I've heard many theories."

In response, Nihlus shot a glare at Anderson. "Some of those theories could be answered if the OSA would give us a little information on what happened to the Forerunners."

Unbeknownst to everyone in the room, only one person in the room knew what really happened to the Forerunners, and he was just leaning against the wall listening in on the whole conversation. "Sorry Nihlus even I don't know what happen to the Forerunners. That privilege is only for the highest ranking officials in the OSA. Besides we should be getting to Eden-." Before Anderson could say the last words Joker came on the intercom.

"Captain! We've got a problem." said Joker

"What's wrong. Joker?" asked Anderson

"We've just received a transmission from Eden Prime, sir. You'd better see this!

The Four individuals in the comm. room all surrounded the table. It began popping up holographic images of Eden Prime. One image showed a firefight where a woman in white armor told a person to get down; then it switched to a ship that looked like a hand that was piercing the skies. All of a sudden a message popped up from ONI, in it was one word: Geth.

"The Geth haven't been seen outside the Veil in eight century's. Why would they be here now?"

Anderson just looked at the others in the room. "It doesn't matter who it is. This mission just got a lot more complicated."

Nihlus chuckled to himself before he had an idea. "A small strike team can move quickly without drawing attention. It's our best chance to secure the beacon, and nothing is going to stop me from getting to it." Nihlus then walked out of the comm. room with the Spartan following right behind him.

Anderson turned to Shepard. "Tell Alenko and Jenkins to suit up, Commander. You're going in."

Eden Prime

Normandy

Cargo hold

The Normandy dropped out of Slipspace and began a vector course into Eden Prime atmosphere. While heading to Eden Prime the Normandy crew got a good look at the wreckage in space, there were both OSA and Geth ships floating in space and the ODP's torn to shreds by what looked like a an extremely hot plasma from the scorch marks. On Eden Prime it wasn't as pretty as in space. Joker saw an opportunity to comment on it. "Looks like the Geth were doing some serious digging here, Captain."

In the cargo hold, Shepard's team was getting ready to touch down on Eden Prime. Anderson walked up to them "Your team's the muscle in this operation Commander. Go in heavy and head straight for the dig site."

Alenko had a question…and decided to voice it. "What about survivors Captain?"

Anderson wasn't pleased about the orders he was given. "Helping survivors is a secondary objective. The beacon's your top priority."

Shepard wanted to say something about putting the Council's needs before their people, but was cut off by Joker. "Approaching drop point one."

As the team was preparing to go, Nihlus came up and Jenkins noticed this. "Nihlus? you're coming with us?"

"I move faster on my own." said Nihlus, but before he could jump off Anderson stopped him "You won't be alone Nihlus Spartan-092 will accompany you on the ground as back up."

Nihlus was not pleased that he had to be watch over not only on the ship, but on the ground as well. Before he could object, Jerome-092 was already right beside him. "Let's go." The second those two words left his mouth, the two of them then jumped out of the ship.

Anderson then looked back too Shepard's squad. "Nihlus and Sierra-092 will scout out the area ahead of you. Nihlus will feed you status reports throughout the mission; otherwise, I want radio silence."

"We have their backs Captain."

Anderson was pleased Shepard followed orders even though they go against what he trained for "the missions yours now, Shepard. Good luck."

"We are approaching drop point two." said Joker

The Normandy pulled up to a cliff overlooking the city and dropped off Shepard and his squad.

Eden Prime

Ground Side

Shepard and team saw the Normandy fly away back into orbit of Eden Prime. Shepard looked at the destruction caused by the Geth and couldn't believe that they were able to bypass OSA defenses. "Alright people we have a mission to complete."

The team began to head for the dig site. Along the way they noticed the bodies of Humans and Unggoy the most—Eden Prime was predominantly a human colony, but Unggoy also made up about almost a quarter of the population. When they came upon a path, Shepard lifted his arm to stop, and told Jenkins to move ahead. As Jenkins walked out in the open, two Geth drones popped out of nowhere and began firing at Jenkins. The sheer firepower from the drones was enough to cause Jenkins' shields to flair and collapse, allowing one of them pierce Jenkins in the stomach. Shepard and Alenko pulled out their assault rifles and took down the drones.

"Argh! bastards got me in the gut." screamed Jenkins

Shepard and Alenko rushed over to their comrade. Alenko kneeled down to Jenkins and applied medi-gel, but he needed medical attention now. "Shepard to Normandy, one of our people is down we need you to teleport him to the infirmary now!"

Jenkins didn't want his first mission in the field to be stuck in the medical bay. "I can still fight Commander, Alenko patched me up."

Shepard looked at Jenkins and admired his will to fight, but he was in charged and wasn't going to let Jenkins slow him down "Sorry Lieutenant, but you're going up there now."

Before Jenkins could argue Anderson came on the line "Shepard this Normandy we have a lock on Jenkins' locator beacon and will teleport him now. Stand clear from him, Normandy out."

Shepard and Alenko stepped away from Jenkins and he teleported right before their eyes. Shepard looked at Alenko and motioned for him to move out. They began to go up the path in front of them. Nihlus came on the radio. "I've got some burned out buildings here, Shepard. A lot of bodies. I'm going to check it out. I'll try to catch up with you at the dig site."

Shepard and Alenko continued to the dig site hoping to meet up with Nihlus and Spartan-092. When they got to an opening out from the trees, they saw a soldier running from Geth drones. Shepard ran down there along with Alenko to take out the drone and the Geth nearby. Once the Geth were taken care of Shepard walked up to the Soldier.

She was wearing white armor and had her hair rolled up in the back of her head. She saluted and gave her rank. "Gunnery Chief Ashley Williams of the 212. You the one in charge here, Sir?"

"Are you wounded Williams?"

"A few scrapes and burns, but nothing serious. The others weren't so lucky. Oh, man... We were patrolling the perimeter when the attack hit. We tried to get a distress call, but they cut off our communications. I've been fighting for my life ever since."

Shepard was impressed, he'd survived for a week on Akuze fighting thresher maws, but he still had his team with him. "Can you take us to the dig site?"

Williams was happy she wouldn't be left out of the fight. "It's just over the ridge; it's about time for some payback."

Shepard and his team walked carefully over the ridge and saw the dig site. They began to walk down there until a group of Geth came out from hiding and fired at Shepard's team. As any well-trained soldier would know, the first rule when being fired upon was to take cover and that's what Shepard and his team did. Shepard ordered Williams to give them cover fire; when she did Alenko moved over to where Shepard was. "What do you think Commander, should we use our biotics?"

Shepard thought it over for a second and nodded for yes. Alenko began to glow a purple aura and the Geth began lifting up from the ground. Then Shepard began to glow and brought the Geth back down to Earth hard. The Geth that were lying on the ground trying to move as Shepard walked over them and pulled out his pistol and pointed at the Geth. "Welcome to Eden Prime." He said that right before he shot each one in the head where their flashlights were.

Shepard and team walked into the dig site, but nothing was there. He looked to Williams with the obvious silent question being poised towards her. "This is the dig site. The beacon was right here. It must have been moved."

Kaidan could only blink upon hearing this. Were they too late? "By who? Our side? Or the Geth?"

Williams just had a questioning look on her face. "Hard to say; maybe we'll know more after we check out the research camp."

Shepard was a little disappointed; just when he thought this would be an easy mission. "Let's get moving. Williams, where's the Camp?"

"It's just on the top of this ridge, up the ramps."

As Shepard and team began moving up Nihlus came on the radio. "Shepard, your Spartan disappeared on me, so change of plans. There's a small spaceport up ahead, so I'm going to check it out. I'll wait for you there."

Shepard got the message and began walking up the ramps. As they got up there, Williams commented on the destruction. "Looks like they hit the camp hard."

"It's a good place for an ambush. Keep your guard up."

As they walked through the camps with their guns up for a surprise attack. The metal spikes nearby began to activate bringing down the corpse it had on it and the corpse came to life. Alenko could only watch the scene before him with horror. "Oh, god! They're still alive!"

Williams looked as if she were about to empty the contents of her stomach at the sight. "What did the Geth do to them?"

Shepard and his team just fired at the creature as it was running towards them. Then more came out and began charging, one got to close and released some kind of electrical shock that damaged their shields. Both Shepard and Alenko used their biotics to push them away, trying to get some distance between them and those Husks. After the fight was over, Shepard went to one of the dead ones and scanned it with his Omni-tool. He then opened a connection to the Normandy. "Normandy, I'm sending you some scans I took from one of the colonists. The Geth did something to them, and we need to know what happened." Once he was finished recording, the message along with the data were sent to the Normandy, before he motioned for the others to move out.

Space Port

Nihlus wasn't having a great day. First he was assigned by the Council to oversee this mission; he for one thought it an insult to have a Turian SPECTRE on a Human ship. Then there's the Geth screwing up the most important mission for the Council—their chance at getting new technologies from this Prothean beacon. Something the Council believed would give them an edge against the OSA; all Nihlus was hoping for now was to get off this planet with his life.

After Nihlus was done talking to himself he approached the space port and got behind a crate. He took a glimpse from cover and saw a figure just standing there, he pulled around about to fire at the figure, but stopped when he saw a familiar face. He was shocked to see another SPECTRE, and here of all places. "Saren?"

Saren turned to face his fellow Turian. His voice was cold, as was his demeanor. "Nihlus."

Nihlus a little surprised to see Saren…might as well question him. "This isn't your mission Saren. How did you get here?"

Saren walked up to Nihlus and put a hand on Nihlus' shoulder. "The Council thought you could use some help on this one." Once he was assured that his old friend was relaxed, he walked away from Nihlus.

Nihlus thinking carefully he pulled up his gun at Saren. "Nice try Saren, but we both know that Council couldn't get within a 1000 light years of an OSA colony without their approval. You're behind this attack aren't you? Saren! Have you know idea what you've done? You could start a war over this."

Saren just turned to face Nihlus, he was a little impressed with him figuring out he was behind it "You always were too smart for your own good Nihlus, too bad you have to die."

Before Nihlus could say a thing two Geth troopers appeared out of hiding and began firing at Nihlus. They shot his arm and leg, Nihlus fell down on the ground trying to crawl away from Saren and his Geth. Saren then walked over to Nihlus and pulled out his pistol, he was about ready to pull the trigger until his pistol was shot at, forcing Saren to drop it. The traitorous SPECTRE turned his head and saw the one thing he both feared and hated: a Spartan. Nihlus on the other hand was happy to see his Spartan company to be here at a moment's notice.

Jerome held his Type-81 Sniper Rifle ready to kill the person responsible for all this death, but was stopped when two Geth came out of hiding charged at him, giving Saren ample time to escape as he dropped the Sniper Rifle and pulled out a pair of M9 SMG's to lay waste to the Geth Troopers. Once he was done with his obstacles, Jerome just smirked under his helmet. Oh this should be interesting.

Shepard and company made it to the top of the hill overlooking the space port, not only did they see Nihlus and Spartan-092, they also saw a ship in the distance that was pitch black and about 2km long as it flew away. As Shepard and commented on its size, it began to rise up from the planet, escaped into the atmosphere, and exited into space. When it was gone, Shepard moved down to meet with Nihlus and the Spartan.

When Shepard walked up to them he saw Nihlus down bleeding and the Spartan taking care of his injuries. "What happened here?"

"Argh! Saren. That's what happened! He's a Turian SPECTRE, one of the best—he came here with the Geth and their dreadnought. Don't know why, but probably has to do with that beacon."

"Which way did Saren go?"

Jerome looked towards Shepard with realization in his eyes. "He took the train and probably went to where the beacon is. You should go Commander I will stay here and watch out for Nihlus until the Normandy can come and pick us up."

Shepard looked at the Spartan, even though he couldn't see his face he knew the Spartan wanted to go with them. "You keep Nihlus alive…I'll go after Saren."

Shepard and squad make it to the train controls and began to move the train to the second space port.

Second Space port

Saren was overlooking the Geth and walked up to one. "Set the charges. Destroy the entire colony. Leave no evidence that we were ever here." The geth just made a stuttering sound to confirm his orders. Saren then walked up to the beacon and waited. The beacon lifted Saren up and downloaded images into his brain. After it was done, he left the Space port and boarded his shuttle.

Shepard and his team made it to the second space port, and what surprised them there wasn't a single Geth waiting for them. Kaidan then noted something before everyone else did. "Demolition charges! The Geth must have planted them!"

"Hurry-we need to find them all and shut them down."

Shepard thought to himself there was no time for them to find all of them, but then it him "Alenko! You think you can hook connection from Equinox to this bomb?"

Alenko was confused at first, but then realized where Shepard was going with this. "I'm on it."

Williams was the only one who didn't understand. "Wait a sec, how is an AI going to help us?"

Shepard turned his head and looked at Williams with a smile. "From what the Quarians told us about the Geth, they're not very creative; so the bombs are probably all of the same make and are likely to be on the same frequency. This will give Equinox a chance to shut down all the bombs in the area."

Equinox's avatar then appeared on Alenko's Omni-tool. His avatar resembled that of an ancient Athenian Scholar. "Shepard! You need me for something?"

"Yeah, the Geth have placed bombs all over the colony. We need you to hack the bombs and shut them down."

Equinox had a frown on his face…as if someone had cancelled Christmas. "That's all? And here I was hoping for a challenge…ah well, at least I get to save the colony." Equinox then closed his eyes and began to glow before he was roused from his trance a few seconds later. "It's done. Now go kill some Geth for me and record the carnage for me as thanks." Equinox disappeared and Shepard with his team began their attack against the Geth.

After the battle Shepard and team walked up to the beacon. "Normandy, the beacon is secure. Requesting immediate evac." Once Shepard was done reporting to the Normandy Williams and Alenko walked up to the beacon. "So that's Prothean technology. I thought it be bigger, like the Forerunners."

Williams on the other hand was a little concerned about something else. "It wasn't doing anything like that when they dug it up. Something must've activated it." She then goes up for a closer look until some kind of force grabbed a hold of her.

Shepard was finishing his call. "Roger that, Normandy. Standing by." He then turned his attention to Alenko, but then noticed Ashley being pulled towards the beacon. He ran past Alenko and grabbed Williams, throwing her behind him—his act of heroism was rewarded by being pulled in to the beacon.

Williams then looked up from the ground to see her commander floating in the air. "SHEPARD!"

Kaidan then stopped Williams from going near him. "No! Don't touch him! It's too dangerous!"

As Shepard was floating in the air he received images, flashes in his head which he couldn't make out all in one second. Then all of a sudden, the beacon exploded—sending him backwards.

Williams ran over to him while Kaidan looked at the destroyed beacon, he then looked up and saw the Normandycoming from the sky.

Space

Out in the coldness of space a ship with the shape of a cuttle fish with twelve tentacles moving through space. Aboard the ship, Saren was trying to decipher the images from the beacon until a woman, clearly an Asari, walked in on his concentration.

"We indentified the ship that touched down on Eden Prime. It was the Normandy, a UNSC vessel. It was under the command of Captain Anderson. They managed to save the colony."

Saren was not in the mood to be reminded of that human and the Spartan that stopped him. "and the beacon?"

"One of the Humans may have used it."

Saren was not happy he began growling and snarling. Before long, he was throwing things around, almost hitting his Asari friend. He then went up to her and wrapped his claws around her face. "This Human must be eliminated." He then walked off to go make plans… he had a long day ahead of him…

ONI Prowler

5 min beforethe Geth Attack

An ONI Prowler was leaving Eden Prime when the alarms began to ring all over the colony about unidentified ships coming from the Exodus relay. The person who was piloting the prowler saw over fifty Geth ships attacking the defense fleet and this huge ship right behind them "Oh man, I can't believe we're leaving when we should be fighting."

Then a seven-foot tall man walked up behind him "there's nothing we can do against an armada like that. Beside we have our orders."

Then one of the comm. officers spoke up "Agent New York, Director Church is on the line wanting to talk to you."

"I'll take it in the comm. room." He then made his way through the prowler to the comm., and began pressing a few buttons. The holo-screen then switched from the symbol of ONI to the Director's face. "Director I acquired the information contained in the Prothean beacon, but it wasn't easy."

Director just grinned at the success of the mission "And what about your other objective. Did you do it?"

"Yes sir. I set the beacon to blow up seven minutes after someone uses it."

"Good. The OSA were fools to give the Citadel the potential to use the information in the beacon against us. I want all the information you have and send it to me, I will have Alpha decode it immediately." York did what he was told and uploaded the information. He didn't need the director to tell him to return to HQ and await further orders.

You guys are probably wondering what the hells going on. So like before write to me, tell me if I made any mistakes and tell me what I should fix. Thanks for reading.

Codex-Normandy

Normandy-The Normandy is a new stealth frigate in the UNSC. It was co-developed by Human and Quarian enginners using a Turian CIC as the base for the designs. The Normandy uses ONI's Matte black ablative stealth coating, along with Quarians' internal emission heat sink designs to hide the ship's heat emissions. This would have caused the ship to store heat in the hulls and cook the crew alive, but thanks to the technologies by the UNSC they turned that heat buildup into electricity for extra energy.

Armaments- The Normandy is equipped with Ares nuclear missiles, six Lancer missile pods, plasma torpedoes, and thanks to their alliance with Quarians, the OSA gained access to disruptor torpedoes and made their own versions of the weapon. Because of the Normandy's size, it could not even mount a standard MAC gun.

Defenses- The Normandy's hull is a mixture of Titanium-A armor and Ablative armor for extra protection. The Normandy is equipped with energy shields, but because of disruptor torpedoes and the new javelin torpedoes' effects on UNSC shields, kinetic barriers were added on as a secondary shielding system. The Normandy also has the Quarians GARDIAN lasers, but because of the overheating problem the UNSC made a few changes to the system where it is a mixture of pule lasers.
